Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

The old man walked over and scolded, "Chikage, why can't you change your temper after all these years? Why didn't you ask them before issuing an expulsion order?"

Mochizuki Chikage wanted to argue, but didn't know how to explain. Having experienced the feeling of death, she was extremely wary of the silver-haired man in front of her. She could hardly imagine how someone could approach her silently and instantly deprive her of her ability to resist.

Moreover, she couldn't refute the old man's words. It was indeed her fault for being rude and making rash remarks!

"I..." Seeing Mochizuki Chikage hesitate, the old man with the stubble beard walked to the side of the woman in the kimono and glared at her. He knew what kind of person his daughter was.

"Everyone, I apologize to you on behalf of my daughter!" The old man said with a smile.

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. Seeing the old man's attitude, the others couldn't argue any further.

However, Mo Fan, wanting to stir up trouble, said, "Old man, your daughter is really ignorant. Fortunately, you showed up early, otherwise..."

The old man with the stubble beard was slightly stunned, probably not expecting Mo Fan to speak so unconventionally.

Mochizuki Chikage was so angry that she almost broke her clogs. She glared fiercely at Mo Fan and then turned her gaze to Lin Chen, her eyes filled with apprehension.

"You should all be members of the China Academy here for training, right? Judging by the time, it should be about time!" Mochizuki Meiken didn't want to escalate the conflict and went straight to the point. He had seen Lin Chen's move just now, and he was very curious about Lin Chen's strength. He couldn't even understand the strength of a member of the China Academy!

Hearing the old man's question, Ai Jiangtu, as the captain, also stepped forward and handed his identity badge to the robust old man.

The old man didn't even look at the badge, which made Ai Jiangtu very puzzled. He said, "Aren't you going to check it? Aren't you afraid we're imposters?"

"Even imposters need to have the ability. I don't think anyone would be foolish enough to impersonate a National Team member to challenge the experts of our Twin Guardian Towers!" The old man replied with a smile.

"You're quite confident in your people!" Ai Jiangtu said.

As soon as Ai Jiangtu finished speaking, a young Japanese man with dyed blond hair walked out of the gate. He had obviously heard the conversation just now and said to Ai Jiangtu with a confident smile, "Looking at the entire Japan, there are only a few who can compete with our Twin Guardian Towers team. How could we not have this confidence? Whether you're real or fake, have a match with us and see how many rounds you can last!"

"Oh?" Lin Chen walked out and said with a contemptuous expression, "According to you, the strength of your Japanese academy is only so-so!"

As he said that, he turned to look at Mochizuki Chikage, a cold smile appearing on his face.

"You..." Mochizuki Chikage wanted to retort, but didn't know how to.

Just then, Mochizuki Meiken interjected, "First, arrange a place for our guests to rest. Take a break. I will arrange the competition properly. Before that, show the courtesy of a host and take them for a walk around our Twin Guardian Towers."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mochizuki Meiken beckoned everyone to enter the Twin Guardian Towers.

China's territory is vast, and China's position in the world is among the best. These small places cannot compare.

This may be the reason why Mochizuki Meiken treats the members of the Chinese National Team so politely.

After everyone entered, Lin Chen stopped in front of Mochizuki Chikage and instructed, "By the way, we have a few female companions who will arrive later. You wait here and bring them in when they arrive! As the saying goes, no discord, no concord. For the sake of your face, I won't argue with you too much!"

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Mochizuki Chikage was covered in black lines, her voice filled with anger, "Do you think I'm a doorkeeper maid?"

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Remove the 'think'. The fact is already obvious!"

"You..." Mochizuki Chikage's face was full of anger. If she could beat Lin Chen, she would have taught Lin Chen a lesson long ago. But thinking of Lin Chen's strange and unpredictable methods and Mochizuki Meiken's instructions, Mochizuki Chikage still endured it.

On the National Team's side, they had been paying attention to Lin Chen's response. They had always thought that Lin Chen was the kind of person who was ruthless and didn't talk much, but now they realized that Lin Chen was not only ruthless, but also had a poisonous tongue. His simple words had a way of making people angry to death, which opened their eyes.

...

Entering the West Guardian Tower, the entire base of the West Guardian Tower castle began to rise higher, and the recessed area between the walls and the base became a river and lake, irregularly distributed around the West Guardian Tower, except for the side facing the cliff, the other three sides had this river and lake.

The water in the river and lake was quite clear. You could see some fallen leaves floating on it, the stones under the water, and even the shadows of the leaves reflected on the stones.

The water should be very deep, but it was too clear, making it look like a shallow stream.

There was a wooden corridor on the water, winding directly on the surface of the water, with many small pavilions. It took a while to walk directly into the lower tower of the West Guardian Tower.

The Guardian Tower was divided into three tiers: upper, middle, and lower. The lower tower had many halls and corridors, as intricate as a maze. The four directions, east, west, south, and north, were all symmetrical and similar fortress houses. Without someone to guide them, it was really difficult to tell where was where.

Following the steps between the fortress houses, you could walk to the middle tower.

The middle tower had everything: museums, libraries, training grounds, meditation rooms, teaching halls, main halls, palaces, tool rooms, forging rooms, potion rooms... all of them were high-end! The upper tower was a military conference hall, observation tower, guard corridor, magic tower, etc. Except for some heavyweight giants and guardian tower mages, no one else was allowed to enter the upper tower.

The most shocking was still the middle tower. It really had all kinds of luxurious facilities. It was definitely the perfect place for mages to cultivate. Basically, it had everything you wanted.

The blond man and Mochizuki Chikage took everyone on a rough tour. Before long, everyone walked to the side near the cliff.

The aerial path suspended between the two mountains led directly from a large observation pavilion in the upper tower.

If the upper tower was not allowed to enter, it meant that the East Crane City on the opposite side of the mountain was also off-limits.

Most importantly, the connection between the two sister guardian towers was not a corridor, but a left and right drawbridge.

That is to say, the West Guardian Tower must lower the drawbridge, and the East Guardian Tower must also lower the drawbridge, so that the entire corridor spanning the mountain stream and cliff can be fully accessible.

"Isn't the guardian tower on the opposite side open?" Mo Fan, with his strong curiosity, immediately asked.

"That's a forbidden area!" The young blond Japanese man replied.
