Versatile Mage: A random forbidden spell every month

Chapter 35: Training Opportunities in the Three-Step Pagoda
Pearl Academy, top floor of the library.

Dean Xiao stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, taking in the entire view of the Qing campus. His slightly hunched back carried a hint of loneliness and worry.

"Your contracted beast should be a baby dragon, right?"

Suddenly, Dean Xiao spoke.

There was a flash of surprise in Li Xingze's eyes. He thought no one had noticed it, but unexpectedly, Dean Xiao still saw through it.

But it doesn’t matter, he didn’t intend to hide the Abyss Dragon anyway.

"That's right." Li Xingze nodded.

After getting Li Xingze's recognition, Dean Xiao turned around and stared at him slowly.

"This young dragon has an extremely high bloodline, even close to a real dragon. How did you, a mid-level wizard, get it?"

In just a moment, Dean Xiao could only sense that the dragon had a high bloodline, but he was not sure whether it was a real dragon.

Unless Li Xingze summons it out again, but Dean Xiao is obviously not that kind of person.

"An old Taoist priest gave it to me." Li Xingze said.

If you use a routine a hundred times, it becomes a fact even if the old Taoist priest doesn't exist.

"Old Taoist priest?"

Dean Xiao did not doubt the authenticity of the story at first. There are indeed many secluded masters in the country, such as the old Taoist priest in Huashan.

"Well, everyone has secrets, so I won't ask any more questions."

"Let's talk about the resources you won in the Beast Fighting Competition. The total resources of the entire school are not a small amount, but since part of it was donated by students who have already graduated, I can only give you the part from the academy."

Li Xingze nodded and said directly: "Compared to these resources, I want a chance to practice in the Three-Step Pagoda more."

"Three-step tower?"

Dean Xiao was stunned for a moment, but then showed an expression of "as expected".

How could he lack resources if he was able to train his summoned beast to the level of a mid-level warrior at the age of nineteen?

"So you participated in the beast fighting competition just for the Three-Step Tower?" Dean Xiao asked.

"That's right." Li Xingze nodded.

The Three-Step Pagoda is one of the few holy places for cultivation in the country. It can allow him to reach a high level faster, which is also an important reason why he enrolled in Mingzhu Academy.

The ancient capital academy has the Wild Goose Pagoda, and the imperial capital academy may also have some precious places for cultivation, but they are not as good as the Three-Step Pagoda.

"According to the regulations, only students from the main campus can enter the Three-Step Pagoda. Students from the Green Campus are not qualified to practice in the Three-Step Pagoda."

Dean Xiao deliberately dragged out his voice, as if he was whetting Li Xingze's appetite.

Li Xingze watched Dean Xiao's performance quietly. He didn't believe that Dean Xiao was unwilling to help him.

"But your performance this time was indeed good, so I will reluctantly help you apply for an opportunity to enter the Three-Step Pagoda for training."

Li Xingze rolled his eyes. Dean Xiao was just too dramatic.

"As for the summoning resources, the spirit blood of beast generals is very useful for servant-level summoned beasts, but your summoned beast has already reached the general level, so naturally it is of no use."

Dean Xiao sat down on the chair, looked at Li Xingze and continued.

Li Xingze's summoned beast has already reached the level of a mid-level warrior, and with its extremely high bloodline, it does not need the rubbish beast general's blood at all, let alone the contracted beast.

"I just want to enter the Three-Step Tower to practice. These resources have no appeal to me. I can do whatever Dean Xiao wants with them." Li Xingze suddenly said.

"You don't want magic tools either?"

Even Dean Xiao couldn't help but be stunned. There were actually people who took the initiative to not ask for resources.

"If Dean Xiao is willing to give me a discount, I won't refuse."

These low-level magic tools are simply useless to Li Xingze.

Low-level magic-slaying tools are far inferior to the alchemical weapon "Envy". With the wind system and teleportation technique, there is no need for magic-slaying tools to increase speed for the time being.

In summary, these low-level magic tools are not worthy of Li Xingze's attention.

"Discount?" Dean Xiao's mouth twitched. This was the first time a student asked him to get a discount. Even if these magic tools were useless to you, you could sell them yourself later. You actually asked the dean for a discount. What a good boy!

"Forget about the discount, with the magic tools and bonus added together, I'll give you two more days in the Three-Step Tower."

Dean Xiao naturally would not agree to a discount, so he could only say this.

Li Xingze is extremely talented, and has a contracted beast that looks like a "real dragon". His future achievements will definitely not be low, and he deserves some proper help.

"Okay." Li Xingze agreed immediately.

If he could use money to buy time to practice the Three-Step Pagoda, Li Xingze would definitely pay out all the money.

Money is something outside of one's body; only strength is the most important.

Since Li Xingze did not ask for magic tools and bonuses, these resources were distributed to all freshmen in the school.

The news that Li Xingze had voluntarily given up the resources was spreading rapidly on the campus Internet. In just a few days, Li Xingze's reputation suddenly reversed, and even some girls set up a fan club for Li Xingze.

"Who is behind this, Dean Xiao?" Li Xingze was a little confused.

Although it feels good to be loved by everyone, some crazy fans make Li Xingze unable to avoid them.

At this time, a text message came on the mobile phone, and the sender was Lingling.

Li Xingze took a quick glance and thought that Lingling would contact him on her own initiative, which could only be because she had received a commission.

"Young woman?"

After reading the text message, Li Xingze suddenly remembered that this seemed to be related to a parasitic demon.

"This is it."

In front of the door 18 on the 102th floor of Jinyu Pavilion, Lingling said while holding her tablet.

"Lingling, please step back. I will break down the door." Li Xingze said to Lingling.

After a year of getting along, Lingling and Li Xingze have developed a great understanding of each other and obediently retreated to the other side of the corridor.

Li Xingze took two steps forward, grasped the door handle, and then burst out with terrible thunder power, which raged everywhere along the door handle.

There was a "crackling" sound of electricity, and a hole of moderate size was created in the hard door, which opened with a slight push.

The sound of electricity piercing through the door startled the molting banshee inside. It seemed to sense the danger, so it let go of the woman it was about to continue parasitizing, and crawled towards the door while screaming.

A monster covered with scales crawled out from the room. Lingling poked her little head out from behind Li Xingze and looked at the monster curiously.

"It turned out to be a parasitic demon."

"It looks like it's been parasitic for a while. This is a bit difficult to deal with."

Li Xingze frowned slightly. He couldn't guarantee whether the people inside were still alive, so he didn't launch an attack immediately.

"Hisssssssss~~~!!!"

The molting banshee let out a shrill cry and her sharp claws grabbed the tiles, making a "crunching" sound.

The molting banshee tentatively crawled forward two steps, and seemed to realize that Li Xingze was not someone to be trifled with, so she turned around and prepared to escape through the window.

"How can I let you run away right under my nose?"

After saying that, the golden thunder in Li Xingze's hand raged wildly on the ground and gradually turned into a giant golden python.

"Thunder Seal - Crazy Strategy!"

The golden python catapulted directly to the side of the molting banshee, and with a "bang" knocked the banshee against the wall.

Just one whipping caused the molting banshee to shed countless black scales. After losing these scales, Li Xingze could vaguely see the woman's skin underneath.

He can't let this monster get away. It is easiest for parasitic monsters to advance. The stronger and more parasitic creatures they parasitize, the stronger they will become!

If it were allowed to get away, I don't know how many people would suffer.

Being kind to demons is being cruel to humans.
