Summer Vacation Ends

Chapter 32 Summer Vacation Ends

The first thing Ling Tianyu did upon returning to Bocheng City was to go to the hospital for a series of examinations. He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was just a minor internal injury.

The doctor recommended a month of rest, but I'm sorry, I, Ling, don't easily accept other people's advice!

With Ling Tianyu's physical abilities and plant magic equivalent to half a healing ability, such minor injuries can be healed in a few days.

This way, he would have plenty of opportunities to go out of town and hunt demons during the rest of the summer vacation.

On the other hand, considering Ling Tianyu's previous performance in hunting demons, Uncle Li finally relented and allowed Ling Tianyu to go to the wilderness with the military patrol team during the summer vacation.

Of course, to achieve the goal, there is one last hurdle to overcome—the big boss of Xuefeng Mountain Station, the exiled young master of the Zu family, Zu Xingyi, or as he goes by his alias Zhan Kong. As an unofficial member, he needs his boss's approval to participate in the military operation.

"Ling Tianyu, right? I know him, Ling Xiang's son." These were Zhan Kong's exact words. "Why shouldn't I agree to have someone helping the military relieve pressure?"

Fortunately, Zhan Kong is not bound by trivialities. If he were the kind of stubborn old man who insists on sticking to the rules, it would be a pipe dream for Ling Tianyu to get involved in military affairs.

Anyway, that's settled.

With only a few weeks left in summer vacation, Ling Tianyu hunted demons with the military team, killing about four or five slave-level demon wolves every day. By the end of the summer vacation, he had obtained a synthetic essence.

During this period, Ling Tianyu's strength was affirmed by Zhan Kong, who promised that once Ling Tianyu's cultivation reached the middle level and he had the ability to protect himself, he could freely enter and leave Anjie.

Of course, Zhan Kong also tried every means to persuade Ling Tianyu to join the military, saying bluntly, "If you become a military mage, I'll protect you in Bo City from now on, and we'll become sworn brothers!"

Needless to say, he returned empty-handed.

Summer vacation gains are as follows: Hunter level reached intermediate, Plant-type Stardust broke through to level three, as for Cursed Stardust, the number of times it has been used is too few, and the time limit for breaking through is far away; and another Servant Essence was obtained.

So far, Ling Tianyu has one advanced servant essence, two ordinary servant essences, and one synthetic servant essence. The synthetic essence cannot be retrieved, but even after deducting its value, it is enough to buy an ordinary quality spirit seed.

In addition to the inheritance left by his military mages parents, Ling Tianyu is now a wealthy man with some assets.

Ling Tianyu's treatment over this period has been remarkably effective. Mu Ningxue's spiritual state has improved significantly, and her overall energy and spirit have been completely renewed. The most obvious change is that her expression is no longer so cold; she can occasionally even flash a captivating smile.

Unfortunately, according to Mu Ningxue, the studies at the Imperial Academy in the next two years will be too demanding, and she may not be able to find time to return to Bocheng. The next opportunity will be Yu Ang's eighteenth birthday coming-of-age ceremony. As one of the representatives of the Mu family, although she is not fond of such formalities, she still needs to attend.

Ling Tianyu was inevitably disappointed, but he also expressed his understanding. Since Mu Ningxue had achieved something that was difficult for her peers to reach, she must have made unimaginable efforts to match it.

A few days before the start of the semester, Mu Ningxue set off back to her academy in the capital. With that old man Mu Zhuoyun accompanying her, Ling Tianyu didn't have to personally pick her up or drop her off. Sigh, that atmosphere of parting was just right; Mu Ningxue could always find a way to push herself even further…

Like a kiss?

Everything was normal for Ye Xinxia, ​​who was preparing for the start of high school. She planned to live on campus in high school, becoming independent as soon as possible and making plans for her future.

However, since Xin Xia lives at school, Ling Tianyu sees her much less often.

Ling Tianyu informed Ye Xinxia during the summer vacation, and Ye Xinxia said, "Brother Tianyu, please be careful." Mu Ningxue also wanted to participate, but Mu Zhuoyun kept a close eye on her. Just meeting with Ling Tianyu alone to recuperate had already crossed Mu Zhuoyun's bottom line. If she wanted to go hunting demons, do you believe Mu Zhuoyun would put her in solitary confinement?

Soon, it will be the start of the new school year in September...

As he stepped into the school gate, Ling Tianyu let out a long breath. He had recently hunted too many demons and monsters, and his hands were stained with a lot of demon blood. He had developed a tendency to disregard human life and needed to cultivate his character. Only when he became accustomed to killing and strengthened his personal will could he avoid being affected.

It was early autumn, and the high school girls were wearing school uniforms and short skirts, exuding youthful energy. Their long, white legs were dazzling. Ling Tianyu maintained his persona, simply observing them without making a sound.

This is just an appreciation of beauty, don't overthink it!

Upon arriving at the classroom, Ling Tianyu's seat was in the front row by the window, with Zhang Xiaohou sitting in front of him and the nonchalant Mo Fan behind him.

After taking his seat, Ling Tianyu saw that Mo Fan had his eyes closed and was concentrating on meditation.

"Tsk tsk, no wonder he's the protagonist, his perseverance is unmatched by most people!"

The meditation process is simple, but it requires the monk to be able to endure loneliness. Many of the worst students in the class are left far behind because of this, as they only practice sporadically.

…………

Mo Fan let out a long breath, opened his eyes, and ended his meditation.

"Hey, Tianyu, how was your summer vacation?" Mo Fan's cheeky voice came from behind, his forearm wrapped around Ling Tianyu's neck.

"Anyway, I'm no worse than you. So, how long until your fire element breakthrough?"

"Don't even mention it, I can't afford the Stardust Magic Artifact, my progress is as slow as a snail's pace." Mo Fan was extremely distressed. At this moment, he was far from realizing the importance of actual combat, and was just burying himself in hard work, so his progress was naturally not very fast.

"How about this, I suggest you join the demon-hunting team!"

"Demon Hunting Team, sorry, I haven't lived enough yet!" Mo Fan shook his head like a rattle drum. Lacking experience in the wild, he had not yet made up his mind to confront demons head-on.

"Are you sure? The commission for the demon hunting team is quite substantial, often tens or hundreds of thousands. Don't you want to improve your life? Moreover, demon hunting can help you better master magic, and your concerns about your magical cultivation can be resolved." Ling Tianyu first painted a rosy picture for Mo Fan.

While others might not be emotional, Ling Tianyu knew Mo Fan inside and out. Everything else was secondary; only money and magical power truly won him over.

"This..." Mo Fan hesitated. These words truly resonated with him. His father worked tirelessly every day, risking his life driving cars, just to provide for his son's education without any worries. If he could earn money, wouldn't that also be relieving his father's burden?

"If you're interested, go to the Hunter Alliance during the holidays. There's a city monster-hunting team recruiting recently, and you, as a lightning mage, will definitely be in high demand!" Ling Tianyu pressed his advantage, breaking through Mo Fan's defenses and prompting him to make up his mind.

"Okay, I'll give it a try when I have time!"
