Versatile Mage: Starting Contract Groudon

Chapter 69 Visiting the Black Snake
…………

After Dean Lu confirmed that the poison would not remain in Zhao Tingxi's body, he agreed to Zhao Tingxi's request on the spot.

"Do as I instruct." After saying that, Dean Lu began to guide Zhao Tingxi.

Under the guidance of Dean Lu, the dark green arm began to gradually change. The blood vessels stood out under the skin, like living vines, winding in a strange and beautiful way, looking for a new path.

As the magic deepened, Zhao Tingxi's fingers began to deform, and his nails grew rapidly and curved into serrated shapes, as sharp as the fangs of a poisonous snake. His entire arm began to emit a slight fluorescent light, which was dark and mysterious, revealing the active breath of poison, as if demonstrating the dangerous and fascinating power of poison magic.

The first poison transformation process is always accompanied by pain. Zhao Tingxi's face was distorted by the pain, but he clenched his teeth and insisted on not making any sound. Dean Lu immediately stepped forward and gently placed his hand on Zhao Tingxi's shoulder, giving him a soothing and calming force.

"Xiao Zhao, the first time the poison transforms, it's like this. The pain is the process of your body's reaction. Although you can perfectly control the stay of the toxin in your body, mutation is another process. It's your body's adaptation and reaction to this change. Hang in there, after it succeeds this time, it won't hurt later." Dean Lu's voice was encouraging.

Zhao Tingxi kept taking deep breaths, began to adjust his breathing, and began to fully cooperate with this change and adapt to this change.

Soon, Zhao Tingxi's breathing became smoother. It was obvious that he had begun to adapt to the changes brought about by the first poison transformation.

Zhao Tingxi opened his eyes, slowly raised his arm, and carefully examined the completely alienated area. The dark green luster was like a gem under the night sky, shining with unusual beauty. The blood vessels outlined a complex pattern under the skin, like an ancient map, recording the trajectory of each flow of toxins.

His fingers gently slid over the newly formed jagged nails, feeling their sharpness and hardness. Every detail exceeded his expectations. This was not only a physical transformation, but also a spiritual awakening. Zhao Tingxi could feel the power surging in his body, which was connected to the most primitive and unrestrained life force in nature.

The corners of Zhao Tingxi's mouth inadvertently lifted up, revealing a satisfied smile. This smile was not due to appreciation of beauty, but from the confidence in his own control. His eyes were shining with excitement and anticipation, as if foreshadowing the upcoming challenges and opportunities.

"how do you feel?"

Zhao Tingxi said with satisfaction: "It feels great. I think I can easily crush a general-level demon now!"

"That's good. Go back and adapt yourself to it. It will be your main method of attack in the future." Dean Lu said.

Zhao Tingxi nodded: "I know, it takes time to adapt and get used to a new method after mastering it."

Dean Lu agreed with Zhao Tingxi's statement: "Yes, it's good that you think so. During this period of time, I suggest that you retreat for a while. Your strength has increased dramatically recently. The more so, the more you need to retreat for a while. For a student with good talent like you, blindly pursuing the improvement of strength is not necessarily a good thing."

Ever since he mastered the poison transformation, Zhao Tingxi basically spent his time between the dormitory and the training room.

That day, Zhao Tingxi saw from the news that the issue in Xihang had been resolved. The giant skyscraper snake was a totem that protected mankind. It drove away the Silver Dome Lord and the White Magic Eagle clan who invaded mankind.

After seeing this news, Zhao Tingxi called Mo Fan directly: "Hey Mo Fan, I heard that you are very popular in Xihang!"

“No, no, I’m just taking advantage of the totem snake!” He said it very modestly, but Mo Fan’s tone was not modest at all.

"Stop talking nonsense. Can you do me a favor?" Zhao Tingxi got to the point decisively. He didn't want to argue with Mo Fan.

"What favor do you want to ask?" Mo Fan knew that there must be something wrong when Zhao Tingxi asked him for help. "Can you arrange a meeting between me and the Totem Black Snake? I need its help with something." Zhao Tingxi said.

“This…” Mo Fan hesitated. “I can’t help you with this. You know, the Totem Black Snake likes quietness and doesn’t like to be disturbed by outsiders. And I can only see the Totem Black Snake because of Teacher Tang Yue’s face. Otherwise, it would not be convenient for me.”

"It's okay, just tell it that someone wants to see it and that it was Ba Xia who called it over. If it agrees, then it agrees. If it doesn't agree, then you can talk to it again." Zhao Tingxi directly moved Ba Xia out.

"Row!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Tingxi was wondering if Xuanshe could meet him for Baxia's sake?
Not long after, Mo Fan called back, "Damn, you're really amazing! After Black Snake heard that you were sent by Ba Xia, it actually agreed to your request!"

"Otherwise, just give me an address and I'll go there right away!"

"Row!"

Soon, according to the address given by Mo Fan, Zhao Tingxi arrived at a place near the West Lake.

"Teacher Tang, long time no see!" After seeing Mo Fan and Tang Yue, Zhao Tingxi decisively ignored Mo Fan and turned to greet Tang Yue.

"Long time no see." Tang Yue smiled and said, "It's only been a short time, I didn't expect you to have already reached a high level. Young people are really good, much better than I was back then."

"It's all luck." Zhao Tingxi scratched his head.

At the same time, Zhao Tingxi glared at Mo Fan.

Why does Mo Fan, this loudmouth, say everything?

Zhao Tingxi had reached the advanced level, and the number of people who knew about this could be counted on one hand. And Mo Fan was one of them.

According to Tang Yue's strength, he definitely cannot see through his own cultivation. After all, Tang Yue's current cultivation is, at best, at the same level as Zhao Tingxi.

So Tang Yue knew her own cultivation level, and she could only guess what else it was that Mo Fan, the big mouth, had exposed!
Mo Fan completely ignored Zhao Tingxi's gaze and just glanced around.

"follow me."

Following Tang Yue, I boarded a small boat directly at the lakeside and slowly drifted on the lake.

The lake is clear and tranquil, and you can see white clouds reflected in the water, floating gently around the boat or slowly overlapping with the boat's shadow.

Sitting on the boat, Zhao Tingxi could feel a vague gaze sweeping over him.
