Chapter 57 Obtaining Kai's Magic Tool
Chapter 57 Obtaining Kai's Magic Tool
There was no other way but for the old principal to stand on the stage and speak against his conscience.
After making a few casual remarks, the old principal stepped down. He was in a very bad mood, and the thought of having to give the two boys the entire department's resources made him feel uncomfortable.
Ninety-nine percent of the freshmen were unhappy at the orientation. How could they be happy when all the benefits were taken by two people?
They felt angry whenever they thought about it, but there was nothing they could do, so they could only mutter a few complaints to themselves.
As for complaining to his face, I wouldn't dare.
These two are all tough guys who were selected from three hundred trainees. To criticize them to their faces would be suicidal.
The atmosphere at the ancient capital's academy was quite pleasant; they could freely go out and kill a few undead whenever they had free time.
After the entrance ceremony, the former principal thought he would go to Shanghai to meet with old friends, which would also help delay the distribution of resources.
However, he was stopped by Su Ming and Mu Bai just as he was about to leave.
"Hey headmaster, what's this resource we have? Let me see it." Su Ming walked over casually and leaned back on the sofa.
Mu Bai wasn't as presumptuous as Su Ming; he simply looked at the old principal, his meaning clear: where are the resources?
"Come with me," the old headmaster said impatiently, leading the two people to the place where the school stored various resources.
The old headmaster pointed to the items that had been prepared in advance and said, "They're all here, but each of you can only choose one item. I've converted the prices of those resources and divided them into two portions. One item here will be enough to cover them."
"What's here? Show me around. I'm completely clueless and don't know anything. If I pick something useless, it'll be embarrassing for you, sir." Su Ming said with a smile, flipping through the items for a while before realizing he didn't recognize any of them.
The former principal didn't mind this at all and proceeded with the introduction in a proper and respectful manner.
There are all sorts of ready-made magic tools, including magic-slaying tools, magic-escaping tools, and magic-walking tools. There are also some high-level demon bones that can be used to forge magic tools. The forged ones will definitely be better than these ready-made ones, but you will have to pay for the forging costs yourself.
Su Ming has no money and wouldn't consider those strange bones.
Besides magical tools, there are also rare and precious treasures that can enhance magical cultivation, but these are not very useful.
The Demon Academy has a Three-Part Tower, while the Ancient Capital doesn't. However, the former headmaster built one himself. Although its effect is not as good as the Three-Part Tower, it is still sufficient for students below the Super Rank to cultivate. This is also a symbol of the Ancient Capital Academy.
These rare treasures are not as useful as going to this kind of cultivation paradise, but they can't go, they don't have the qualifications yet. Mu Bai has magic tools and armor magic tools, but his magic-slaying tools are not very high-end. For a mid-level mage, they will only become less and less useful. Therefore, magic cultivation is still more important.
Mu Bai chose items that could enhance cultivation. There were no treasures here that could enhance dimensional cultivation, and since Su Ming didn't have any magical artifacts, he chose an armor magical artifact for self-defense.
He did want another magic tool, but the old headmaster quickly took them all back.
However, he did gain something. When he came out, he took a bottle of bright red blood. He only took it because Xiaoqing was interested. The old headmaster was annoyed by them and just wanted to get them out as soon as possible, so he didn't care about the bottle of blood.
Of course, it's also because this bottle of blood wasn't very useful; it was given to him by one of his former students and had been gathering dust there. It's good that it was taken away.
After that, the former principal left the ancient capital academy, saying that he wanted Shanghai to relax and unwind.
"Mu Bai, what are your plans for the future?" Su Ming suddenly asked as they walked down the street.
"What are your plans?" Mu Bai hadn't expected Su Ming to ask this question. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "I'll focus on cultivation first. I don't have any specific plans for now."
Su Ming's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Would you like to come with me to the Graveyard of the Dead?"
Mu Bai turned his head to look at him, his face full of question marks. If it weren't for his politeness, he would have already started cursing.
Su Ming knew Mu Bai was powerful, and if such a person went to the Graveyard of the Dead with him, their chances of survival would definitely be much higher. Of course, he wouldn't force him, but he made a suggestion: "Not now. Right now, we're too weak and can't do anything. We can go to the Graveyard of the Dead in about a year."
"The things inside are not as good as those outside. Those graves all have owners, and their owners must have been important figures in life. There are countless good things buried with them. Moreover, the graves of the dead have absorbed the essence of the sun and moon for a long time, so the crystals of the dead inside are better than those outside. You can definitely gain a lot from a trip there."
Mu Bai felt the same way about being weak. During the disaster in Bo City, he was too weak to do anything. If he had his current cultivation level, or even a higher level, the disaster in Bo City would not have been so tragic.
After experiencing the disaster in Bo City, Mu Bai was extremely eager for strength, which is why he chose resources to improve his cultivation level instead of functional weapons that were several times better than the magical tools he possessed.
No pain, no gain. Mu Bai knew this principle well. He had risked his life to obtain the ice-type resources he had, and he would have to work hard to get good things in the future. He couldn't do anything if he stayed in the ancient capital academy.
"Okay, I'll also visit the Cemetery of the Dead a year from now." Mu Bai nodded in agreement. The Cemetery of the Dead is just a place where you're not sure you'll die. It's a good opportunity to hone your skills and see how much you've grown in a year.
"OK, it's settled then. I'll call you when it's almost time." Su Ming was pleasantly surprised, not expecting Mu Bai to agree.
"Want to go get some skewers?"
"No, I need to go back and cultivate first." Mu Bai shook his head, refusing Su Ming's suggestion. Now that he had the ice-type resources, he definitely needed to focus on magic cultivation.
There was nothing he could do if Mu Bai didn't go, so he could only walk alone in the academy.
None of the other freshmen were with him; the area within dozens of meters was empty. After witnessing Su Ming's powerful annihilation of two hundred people, those people were somewhat afraid of him and dared not get too close.
All new students are in the new campus. Those who are not promoted after one year will repeat the year if they are in the old campus. Those who are not promoted after three years will be asked to leave.
The new campus is mainly for freshmen, but some teachers also come to stroll around. The main reason is to show off. In the eyes of the freshmen, these senior students are powerful and experienced mages, and the admiring and worshipful looks they receive are very enjoyable.
"You are... Boss Su Ming?"
Su Ming looked up in confusion, wondering why someone was calling him Boss Su Ming. He only called Liu Qi Boss, and everyone else called him Su Ming, Little Ming, or Little Su Ming Boss. This was the first time he had ever heard it.
"It really is Boss Su Ming! Boss, you've enrolled at the Ancient Capital Academy?" The person was very surprised, as if they hadn't seen Su Ming in a long time.
Who?
Su Ming looked at the person who had just arrived and felt that he was somewhat familiar with him, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
Seeing Su Ming's puzzled look, the man quickly said, "Boss Su Ming, it's me. Back then, Wu Quan was bullying your sister-in-law. I was out of my mind and hung out with Wu Quan. I was the one who dyed my hair green."
Oh ~
This person... Su Ming remembered him. He did have a vague recollection of him, but Su Ming hadn't heard Green Brother call him Boss Su Ming before, so it was normal not to recognize him at first. Besides, he wasn't Green Hair anymore. Green Hair had long been cut off, and black hair had grown back. His clothes were also much more normal now, and he didn't look like a spirited young man anymore.
"You look better with green hair, it's more distinctive," Su Ming joked.
