Versatile Mage: The Young Master of Zhou Family

"The destination of this training is Jinlin City, located in the middle-lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain!" Headmaster Songhe announced.

"Jinlin City? I've never even heard of a city like that." Jingjing exclaimed in surprise.

"This Jinlin City is somewhat special, because it was removed from the map fifteen years ago." Teacher Qiu Yuhua slowly said.

Zhou Haoyu wore a solemn expression. In the current magic world, humans were still the weaker side.

If it weren't for the mutual checks and balances between the great emperors, it would be difficult for humans to even have a safe place to live.

After listening to Headmaster Songhe's explanation, everyone finally understood the purpose of this training — go to Jinlin City to count the demon data, in order to consider whether it had any value in being reclaimed.

As for this mission, Zhou Haoyu only found it laughable.

That was a city!

Even a small city like Bo City wouldn't be stingy about hiring a few High-Level Mages, right?

This was completely a task set up solely for training purposes, not actually to reclaim the abandoned city.

"If Jinlin City has already become a den of demons, what if we encounter a Commander-level demon? What should we do then?" Luo Song couldn't help but ask.

They could handle one or two Warrior-level demons, but against a Commander-level demon, they were utterly helpless.

"If you run into a Commander-level demon, then you can only pray for yourselves." Headmaster Songhe said casually.

Everyone's hearts tightened. Was it still too late to drop out of the team?

Looking at the extremely hypocritical Headmaster Songhe, a cold gleam flashed in Zhou Haoyu's eyes. He must think of a way to remove this old geezer.

With this old thing around, the Imperial Capital Academy would be surpassed by Pearl Academy sooner or later.

"Zhou Haoyu, please take care of our Pearl Academy students." Teacher Gu Han specifically said to Zhou Haoyu.

Hearing Teacher Gu Han's request, Zhou Haoyu smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I will do my best to keep them safe."

Dongting Lake Plain.

In the magic world, Dongting Lake was not some scenic spot.

This massive lake covering nearly forty thousand square kilometers was not human territory, but a giant ecological zone inhabited by countless demons.

"Captain, just how do you train? Even your secondary magic elements are so strong." Jingjing asked with a face full of admiration.

Ever since Zhou Haoyu single-handedly defeated four opponents in the exchange competition, Jingjing and Zhao Mingyue had become his little fangirls.

Both Jingjing and Zhao Mingyue had very nice looks, the kind of beauties that could captivate someone at a glance.

But compared to Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao, they were still quite a bit inferior.

Looking at the two who were basically sticking to him, Zhou Haoyu felt helpless. He originally wanted to take a walk with Mu Ningxue or chat with Mu Nujiao.

But everything was ruined by these two.

"Captain, after the training, I know a restaurant with great food. Want to check it out?" Zhao Mingyue took the initiative and asked.

"Let's talk about it after the training." Zhou Haoyu replied flatly.

Although these two girls were good-looking, their figures weren't quite right — the parts that should be more prominent weren't very obvious.

Speaking of which, Zhou Haoyu couldn't help but admire Pearl University's Bai Tingting. How on earth did she grow to such a size?

Probably would require both hands to measure.

But in Zhou Haoyu's view, size did not represent everything, there were other aspects to consider.

For example, Mu Ningxue's skin was tender, elastic, and carried a trace of icy coolness ― he could toy with it for a lifetime and never get tired.

"Mo Fan, look at others, then look at us. Our lives are just miserable," Zhao Manyan said, draping his arm over Mo Fan's shoulders.

He was the dignified second young master of the Zhao Family, yet he couldn't even attract a single girl. Truly unreasonable!

Mo Fan lowered his head silently. Zhou Haoyu's strength had dealt him a heavy blow, and with Mu Ningxue having a relationship with Zhou Haoyu, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Zhao Manyan only thought that Mo Fan had become withdrawn after getting beaten by Zhou Haoyu.

"Hey, you two up front! If you keep walking this slowly, when are we ever going to reach that abandoned city?" Shen Mingxiao urged impatiently.

Back during the exchange match, he had been smacked unconscious by Zhou Haoyu's summoned beast with a single swipe. When he woke up, he simply wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Shen Mingxiao was holding back plenty of anger, but he didn't dare do anything, so he could only vent on Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan.

"This is the wilderness. We have to preserve our stamina at all times. If you want to speed up, go ahead ― no one will stop you from getting yourself killed."

Straight-A student Qingqing immediately shot back.

Shen Mingxiao was practically fuming blood. He had just said something casually, and it actually got the others retorting at him.

This was even more painful than getting beaten up.

Song Xia came to Zhou Haoyu's side and pointed at the map. "We just need to follow this abandoned railway and we should reach the deserted city."

Zhou Haoyu's strength was unquestionable, even Teacher Gu Han told them to listen to Zhou Haoyu's arrangements as much as possible.

"This is indeed the simplest and most direct method," Zhou Haoyu nodded.

In the wilderness, phone navigation was completely useless, and this abandoned railway was obviously more reliable than other markers.

Once the method was confirmed, the group followed along the railroad tracks.

After a while, they arrived at a tunnel. The pitch-black, deep hole made everyone shudder.

"This tunnel is too dark, who knows what powerful demons might be inside. I suggest we take a detour," Song Xia said cautiously.

"Detour my ass! If we detour, think how much time we'll waste!" Shen Mingxiao immediately objected.

Shen Mingxiao knew clearly he wasn't Zhou Haoyu's match. He didn't want trouble with that guy. He just wanted the training to end early so he could return to Pearl Academy and cultivate peacefully.

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west; never bully a youngster just because he's poor!

Song Xia simply ignored him and looked at Zhou Haoyu. "What do you think?"

"Detouring is too troublesome. I'll open the way in front. Just follow closely behind me."

Zhou Haoyu had already used Spiritual Sense to probe the interior. There were only some Servants inside, nothing truly dangerous.

After speaking, Zhou Haoyu summoned the Flame Scorpion Tiger. Its huge body instantly gave everyone a sense of safety.

Before entering the tunnel, flames ignited upon the Flame Scorpion Tiger's dark-red carapace.

Under the illumination of these flames, the once pitch-black tunnel brightened considerably, at least enough so they could barely see the path ahead, preventing sneak attacks from demons.

"Light Element mages, remember to cast illuminating. Don't forget."

After saying that, Zhou Haoyu rode the Flame Scorpion Tiger into the tunnel, not too fast nor too slow, just enough to ensure those behind could keep up.

Zhao Manyan and Song Xia closely followed. Every ten meters, they had to cast a illuminating spell.

It served both as light source and to disperse the foul air inside the cave.
