Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

Fierce flames erupted from the wooden puppet's body, engulfing it and incinerating it in an instant.

Against the backdrop of the striking firelight, Tang Yue's fair face was dyed a bewitching red, and the smile on her lips further accentuated her confidence.

"A confident woman is indeed beautiful!" Lin Chen murmured to himself. Perhaps due to cultivating the Yin-Yang Art, Lin Chen's resistance to beautiful women had always been relatively low.

Unfazed by the students' adoring gazes, Tang Yue continued with her lesson.

"Which students in the class have Fire-elemental abilities?"

Several students who had awakened Fire-elemental magic stepped out of the crowd, including the Child of Destiny, Mo Fan. Tang Yue taught them a few things, then scanned the rest of the class, her gaze finally landing on Lin Chen, who was standing at the back.

"Oh...?" Tang Yue's expression clearly showed some surprise.

This was because a mage's spirit, after meditation, would be greatly strengthened, allowing them to sense auras that ordinary people couldn't, and from a person's aura, they could roughly deduce their cultivation level.

Of course, this also depended on the difference in cultivation and spiritual power between the two parties.

Besides that, there were also some methods of concealment, such as magical artifacts.

"Interesting..." Tang Yue glanced at Lin Chen before shifting her gaze and continuing the lesson.

Sensing Tang Yue's attention, Lin Chen didn't mind it at all. Being well-versed in the art of self-preservation, Lin Chen naturally had no shortage of spirit-shielding soul tools.

Having stayed in the Douluo Continent for so many years, and once being a seventh-level soul tool master, he never left empty-handed when traveling, and now the various soul tools in his warehouse were more than enough to equip several armies.

The charm of a mature woman was quite powerful. In a short time, Tang Yue had become the goddess in the hearts of the young boys.

They listened to her lectures with extra attentiveness.

The day's lessons quickly came to an end, but unexpectedly, Tang Yue suddenly said, "Lin Chen, come with me for a moment!"

Being called out by name, Lin Chen was a little caught off guard. Wasn't he being discreet enough?

As for the other chuunibyou teenagers in the class, they were practically filled with envy.

In that moment, whether it was Mu Bai, Zhang Xiaohou, or Mo Fan, they were all staring intently at Lin Chen, their envy, jealousy, and hatred were self-evident.

Soon, Lin Chen arrived at Tang Yue's office. After entering, he realized that the other teachers seemed to have already left for the day.

For some reason, images from movies inexplicably surfaced in his mind.

"Have a seat first!" Tang Yue didn't know what Lin Chen was thinking. Instead, she went to the water dispenser and poured herself a glass of water.

After pouring the water, Tang Yue placed the glass in front of Lin Chen. She sat on the sofa beside him and asked, "Lin Chen, the magic you awakened at the initial stage was Summoning, right?"

"That's right, it's Summoning!" At this moment, Lin Chen transformed into a well-behaved child, his face full of sincerity.

"Although I don't have the Summoning element, I still have a good understanding of it. You can always ask me if you have any questions in the future!"

Faced with Tang Yue's kindness, Lin Chen nodded and said obediently, "Okay, Teacher!"

Tang Yue smiled slightly, then asked, "How many star patterns have you currently grasped?"

Lin Chen said with a straight face, "I've currently grasped four. At this rate, I should be able to complete the fifth star pattern in another month!"

At this moment, Lin Chen was like a well-behaved child, answering every question with sincerity.

This wasn't because Tang Yue was a beautiful woman, but because of Tang Yue's true identity—a Judge.

Given his current situation of cultivating both soul power and magic, Lin Chen didn't plan to reveal too much until his magic level reached the High Stage.

Only when his magic level reached the High Stage, with the basic amplification of his Martial Soul, coupled with the power of a six-fold Soul Seed, would the destructive power of his magic be comparable to an Ultra-Rank Completion or even a Forbidden Curse. Only then could Lin Chen truly fear no one in this world, and even if he couldn't win, he could escape.

In the world of Versatile Mage, besides the terrifyingly powerful demons, what's even more frightening is the human heart.

Demons can be avoided. They basically live in specific areas and don't just randomly cause trouble.

But people don't. The human heart is unpredictable. These four words are a universal truth in any world.

Tang Yue nodded and said, "From what I understand, you live alone now?"

Lin Chen said, "That's right, I live alone!"

Tang Yue said, "Are there any problems you can't solve?"

Lin Chen shook his head and said, "Not at the moment. Wei Fang takes good care of me!"

Subtext: I'm practically one of Wei Fang's people, please let me off!

Tang Yue said, "From what I see, you have good talent. Work hard to cultivate and strive to release your magic as soon as possible. You can also come to me with any problems in life!"

Lin Chen obediently said, "Okay, thank you, Teacher!"

Tang Yue picked up a pen and wrote something on a piece of paper.

After a while, Tang Yue handed the paper to Lin Chen and said, "This is my phone number. You can contact me anytime if you need anything!"

Lin Chen took the paper and thanked her, "Thank you, Teacher. If there's nothing else, I'll head back first?"

Tang Yue nodded and said, "Yes, go back early!"

Watching Lin Chen's departing figure, the smile on Tang Yue's fair face gradually disappeared, her brow furrowed, as if lost in thought.

After a long time, Tang Yue muttered to herself, "What exactly are you hiding?"

Lin Chen was very mature, so mature that it felt unbelievable.

After losing both his parents, he immediately restrained his sharpness after a month of wallowing, as if hiding himself in the shadows.

After awakening his magic, he frequently took leave, further reducing his presence to the lowest possible level.

He was usually gentle and humble, never arguing with anyone.

Communicating with him was very sincere and frank, answering every question, yet he possessed a maturity far beyond his age.

But Tang Yue's intuition always felt like something was wrong.

Generally speaking, things that are too perfect tend to have problems. Perfection is often just a facade to cover up problems.

Of course, Tang Yue didn't suspect that Lin Chen was a member of the Black Vatican.

Because Lin Chen's background was too clean, so clean that it was impeccable.

Not only were his parents defense mages, but even after their death, Lin Chen often had many connections with Wei Fang.

Even she had no right to view his files, so who would believe that such a specially protected individual was a member of the Black Vatican?

Lin Chen didn't know Tang Yue's true thoughts. If he did, he could only marvel at how terrifying a woman's intuition could be.

......

The stars shifted, and time flew by. Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Chen's life didn't change much due to Tang Yue's arrival, and he still took leave from time to time.

Life also gradually became more regular, cultivating, monster hunting, and dating.

He also went to the capital once to accompany the little princess for a few days.

The little princess's cultivation progress was also astonishing. With sufficient resources, the little princess's soul power level had already reached level 37.

Her Ice-elemental magic had even broken through to the Intermediate Stage, second level.
