Phoenix Warrior of Full-Time Magister

Chapter 7 Heading to Shanghai

In the end, Yunhua took the letter and a contact number. She didn't see Zhankong again for the next few days, which was quite normal.

Zhan Kong is a high-level mage, the strongest fighter in Bo City, and the head of the Bo City military. There's no reason for him to spend his time on a beginner student.

The hospital discharged Yunhua the next day, saying that all the tests had been completed and there were no safety concerns. She had said yesterday she wanted to stay a few more days, but that changed the next day.

After returning home, Yunhua sold everything she could. At the same time, she also looked into Zhan Kong's senior online, only to find that the information she obtained was very limited.

All we know is that the senior student who cuts through the void is named Mei Fengshuang. She teaches the Poison Class (a class that studies poison magic) at Mingzhu Academy and holds a doctoral degree.

This world also has doctoral degrees, which are awarded to mages who specialize in research, also known as civil servants.

However, it is not easy for clerical staff to become super-level mages, since they mostly focus their energy on research and lack practical experience. Therefore, their cultivation level is weaker than that of mages who frequently fight against demons.

Aside from these, there is almost no other information about Dr. Mei.

This is a very strange thing. In this world, super-level mages are already legendary figures. If someone becomes a super-level mage in a certain place, even if they have only lived there for a while, people will try their best to make connections. There shouldn't be nothing at all.

Yunhua believes that this situation could be attributed to either the fact that the doctor had made some extraordinary research that the government deliberately erased to protect her, or that she had done something in the eyes of the public that is why no one wants to associate with her.

Judging from Zhan Kong's tone, it seemed to be the latter. Yun Hua originally wanted to say that the future was worrying, but then she thought that the other party was, after all, a super-level mage. Even if the future was worrying, it was still not something she could compare to.

Yunhua sighed, then picked up her phone and contacted the other party using the number Zhan Kong had given her. Her assistant answered the phone, and the two arranged a time and place to meet.

After making arrangements with the other party, Yunhua began a life of cultivating at night and doing odd jobs during the day to earn some pocket money.

Although Bo City is dilapidated, it still has many people remaining.

And so, before they knew it, some time had passed since the disaster in Bo City. People who knew each other, such as Zhang Xiaohou, Mu Bai, Mo Fan, and Xu Zhaoting, made their decisions and went their separate ways, never to be seen again.

Zhang Xiaohou chose to join the army, Mu Bai followed his uncle Mu He to the ancient capital in a daze, Xu Zhaoting applied to a university, and Mo Fan resolutely took his family to Shanghai to make a living.

Due to the disaster in Bocheng, all students in Bocheng missed the college entrance examination. The authorities could only arrange for senior high school students to repeat a year and take the college entrance examination again. Xu Zhaoting, Mo Fan and others decided to wait another year.

Yunhua, carrying the letter of recommendation from Zhan Kong, was preparing to take a car to Xiamen Island, the closest island to Bocheng, and then take a high-speed train from Xiamen to Shanghai.

Yunhua didn't sell the house in Bocheng; instead, she kept it as a keepsake.

On the day she left, Yunhua looked at the house in front of her, and a sense of sadness at parting and homesickness welled up in her mind, making it difficult for her to calm down.

Yunhua silently vowed in her heart, "I will come back, I promise."

……

Soon the bullet train arrived at its destination in Shanghai. As soon as Yunhua got off the train, she rented a short-stay room, put her luggage there, and then headed to Mingzhu Academy.

Pearl Academy is divided into two main areas: the Green Campus and the Main Campus. The Green Campus is mainly for novice mages, both new and returning students. Only those who reach the intermediate level and pass the assessment can enter the Main Campus. The Main Campus is the true Pearl Academy, serving as both the outer and inner sect.

Yunhua found the dormitory building where they were supposed to meet by asking the gatekeeper.

Yunhua stood in front of the building, unable to resist taking a few more glances. "A dormitory building? This is clearly a villa!"

The house is three stories high and is surrounded by gardens, lawns, and various decorations.

Yunhua had seen the Mu family's villa in Bocheng before. Although the size of the house here was not as good, it was better in other aspects.

At that moment, a rather handsome man suddenly stormed out of the door.

He had slightly permed curly hair, a classic prince-like face, wore a simple all-black tracksuit, carried a large bag, and held a suitcase beside him.

The man glanced at Yunhua and said with displeasure, "What are you looking at! Haven't you ever seen a spatial magic tool fully loaded before?"

Yunhua: "..."

To my shame, I've never even seen what a spatial artifact looks like.

However, since this person already has a spatial magic tool, why is he still carrying two large bags? Yunhua was very curious about how much luggage he was carrying. Was he moving house?

Yunhua asked, "Why don't you rent a place first, then put your luggage in there? Isn't it tiring to carry it all the time?"

"Renting a place is too much trouble, and I'm only here for Dr. Mei. If she doesn't take me on as her apprentice, why should I stay here?"

The man looked at Yunhua, then glanced behind him, as if he understood something.

"My name is Lu Yifeng. May I ask how I should address you, brother?"

"Yunhua".

"Since you've come here, I presume you also wish to become Dr. Mei's apprentice?"

"Brother, let me give you a piece of advice: go back as soon as possible. This doctor isn't here to take on apprentices; he's here to find test subjects!"

"Ah! No way?" Yunhua looked at Lu Yifeng, hardly believing her ears.

Lu Yifeng seemed to understand what Yunhua was thinking. "I can't say more about the specifics, but you'll find out once you go in."

"By the way, have you ever refined toxins into stardust, young man?"

Yunhua shook her head. "I'm planning to save up to buy a better one, so I don't have one yet."

"Really? What a pity. Actually, you could have bought a cheap one worth a few hundred thousand to practice with first."

puff!

Yunhua felt as if a knife had been stabbed into her heart. The hundreds of thousands of yuan worth of poison was the highest price Yunhua could afford, but in other people's eyes it was just a cheap commodity.

So Yunhua interrupted the conversation.

"What does this have to do with whether or not the toxins have been refined?"

"Dr. Mei has requirements for selecting test subjects, one of which is that the poisonous stardust must not have been refined into toxins. There were several other people before I came, but none of them were willing and they all gave up. Now that you meet the requirements, I guess she will try her best to keep you here. You should keep an eye on things."

"Anyway, I'm not doing it. My family is rich, and we can buy some powerful poisonous insects to raise. There's no need to learn this kind of life-threatening method."

After hearing Lu Yifeng's words, Yunhua wasn't afraid. Instead, she looked at him with a strange expression. "Brother, is that really the reason? Aren't there any other factors?"
