Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 2: Zhankong's Fury
One year later, the day after the magic high school entrance exam.

The plan of the day is in the morning.

It was six o'clock in the morning, and the summer day had arrived early. Li Yu got up from the bed, opened the curtains, and the morning sun shone on his body. The suddenly bright vision made him squint his eyes subconsciously.

I packed up quickly, opened the door, went downstairs, and the car I had booked in advance was waiting downstairs. I verified my identity, opened the car door, and got in.

"Young man, are you sure you want to go to Xuefeng Mountain Post?"

The driver started the engine skillfully. Li Yu's young appearance made him a little hesitant. Is this kid in high school?

Although the Xuefeng Mountain Post Station is within a safe area, one has to leave the city eventually. The probability of encountering monsters is not zero. Except for wizard hunters, how can ordinary people dare to go to such a dangerous place?
Could it be that this is some naive young man who ran away without telling his parents?
"Master, I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time I've been there."

Li Yu knew exactly what the driver was thinking. After all, his appearance was not very convincing.

"Just tell me whether you will accept this business or not?"

"Yes! Of course!" the driver nodded quickly.

Didn't he know that the Xuefengshan Posthouse was dangerous? Wasn't he taking such a risk just for the money?
This business would take at most one day to go, and there was only one person, but the income was equal to a week's full of customers. Since the other party insisted on going, he certainly couldn't stop him!
With a step on the accelerator, the van sped away.

Today's luck was good. The van drove along the road and arrived at the destination safely a few hours later. Seeing the military magicians stationed under the tall stone gate, the driver's heart was temporarily put at ease by the visible noise and bustle.

"Master, leave the money here. I'm getting off first."

"Hey! Wait!"

Li Yu placed the prepared fare on the passenger seat and left immediately. The driver stuck his head out but could not shout.

"Yeah, the number is correct. Why is this kid so anxious?"

After counting the money and confirming that it was correct, the driver didn't think any more about it. He hurried to find a place to park the car. It was not easy to come here, so he had to take this opportunity to see if he could attract a few customers. He heard that magicians were all very rich, so if he could attract one or two customers, he would make a lot of money today.

"Sister Luo, are you on duty today?"

In front of the stone gate, Li Yu greeted a female military mage with wheat-colored skin in a relaxed manner.

"You're here to look for Boss Zhankong again?"

"That's natural."

Pan Lijun was not surprised to see Li Yu. Ever since Zhan Kong brought Li Yu to the Xuefeng Mountain Post Station more than half a year ago, the latter would come here every once in a while. Over time, Li Yu became familiar with some of the military mages at the post station, and Pan Lijun was one of them.

I just went through a simple process and was released after a check.
"Boss Zhankong should be at the sentry post on the mountain over there. Just go there and find him."

"Thank you, Sister Lijun."

After saying thank you casually, Li Yu followed the path he had cleared up the mountain and arrived at the sentry post. Apart from Zhan Kong who was smoking and gazing into the distance, there was no one else there. With the strongest military mage personally out there, there was no need for anyone else to get in the way.

"Coming?"

It seemed that Zhan Kong was well prepared and was waiting for Li Yu to come to him.

"You are a man who never comes to visit for no reason. Tell me, what is the problem with your visit this time?"

"Boss Zhankong, is there something wrong with my physique?"

Li Yu didn't waste any time and went straight to the point and asked about the "little problem" he had noticed.

Zhan Kong was slightly stunned, then he took out the cigarette from his mouth and blew out a string of smoke rings, speaking casually,

"what is the problem?"

"My cultivation speed..."

Before Li Yu could finish, Zhan Kong interrupted him.
"Too fast, isn't it?"

Zhan Kong turned around, and Li Yu was suddenly stunned. He could sense that the former's temperament had changed drastically. The laziness of the past was no longer there, replaced by a complex emotion of regret, pain, and nostalgia...

There are many emotions.

"You broke through to the second level of the beginner level half a year ago. You should have reached the threshold of the intermediate level by now. You will be able to break through in less than a month." "That's right."

Even without checking, Zhan Kong accurately told Li Yu's cultivation level as if he was monitoring the whole process, which made the latter's heart finally hang in the air. He had a premonition that he was in big trouble.

"I met you on June 17th last year, just over a year ago."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, without the aid of Stardust Magical Items or other magical resources, relying entirely on his own training, it only took him one year and one month to go from a newly awakened mage to a mid-level mage. This speed is unique in the world, right?"

"You should also be shocked by your own training speed, right?"

"Yes."

Li Yu's face turned grim and he turned into a nodding machine. He had long realized that his cultivation speed was astonishingly fast. He consulted various books to find relevant records, ruled out some unorthodox ways, and finally came to a conclusion, an answer he absolutely did not want to accept.

"Do you know the victims?"

Li Yu clenched his fists instantly. Zhan Kong's answer completely dispelled the fantasy in his heart.

"You noticed it too?"

Li Yu's reaction could not be hidden from Zhan Kong's eyes, and Zhan Kong laughed.
"I was right. You have a very good brain."

Li Yu did not answer. Zhan Kong continued to talk to himself as if no one was around.

"The victims of the disaster have the most powerful magical talent in the world. Their cultivation speed is several times or even ten times faster than that of ordinary magicians. This talent will gradually increase with age and years of cultivation. Even if they do not practice, their cultivation will gradually increase over time.

The magic power wielded by the disaster victims is far beyond that of ordinary people. They do not need to absorb any natural treasures. They themselves are the darlings of heaven and earth. The so-called spirit seeds, soul seeds and even heavenly seeds are nothing in front of the disaster victims of the corresponding levels.

However, powerful talents and powers carry the risk of getting out of control. Every disaster victim is regarded as a walking natural disaster, and the slightest carelessness can cause huge casualties. Therefore, disaster victims have always been the target of strangulation by countries around the world. "

"Boy, you are a walking merit book!"

"Then why did Boss Zhankong help me? Capturing me should be a great achievement, right?"

Li Yu didn't care about Zhan Kong's teasing words. The other party's few words had revealed his understanding of the victims. His physical condition had probably been exposed to him long ago. If Zhan Kong had any intention, how could he still stand here and talk.

"A great achievement? Ha!"

Li Yu's question made Zhan Kong sneer. The murderous aura that had almost condensed into substance seemed to rise up from behind him.

"What victims? What natural disasters? They are all bullshit from TN! Shameless tricks from those bastards from the Holy City and the Court of Inquisition!"

"A bunch of old immortals, worried that their power will fall into someone else's hands, and that they will kill geniuses who are not under their control, would rather pass this gift from heaven to the demons!"

"In terms of harm, those old thieves are a thousand times more harmful than the so-called victims!"

"Oh!"

The sound of fists hitting the railings made Li Yu silent for a moment. He could feel that Zhan Kong was venting his boundless anger at this moment. Perhaps he had a past that he could not bear to look back on.

The Holy City and the Court of Arbitration, it is not an exaggeration to call each other the most powerful force in the world. I heard that there are legendary angels in the Holy City. I don’t know if it is true, but no matter what the rumors are, Li Yu can be sure that Zhan Kong absolutely hates them.

"Boss Zhankong, calm down."

"Isn't it just the Holy City? What's the Court of Inquisition? Let's go to the Holy City and kill all those old idiots!"

Although he didn't know the whole story, Li Yu still wisely chose to stand on the same side as Zhan Kong, jointly condemning and spitting on the "immortal old man" in the other's mouth.

As for whether it can be done...

What's wrong with bragging? Is it illegal?
"Boy, I'm serious!"

Just when Li Yu was righteously choosing to join Zhan Kong in fighting against the same enemy, he was suddenly broken by the joking words coming from the side.

Um? ? ! !
