Versatile Mage: Shadow Monarch Hell Starts, But The Shadow King

The team agreed to kill directly through the tunnel.

Zheng Bingxiao summoned his summoned beast, the Rock Demon, to lead the way.

The Rock Demon's speed is very slow among its peers, but it has thick skin and strong defense.

Of course, with its tall body, it can only be used as a bulldozer in this situation…

Secondly, Liao Mingxuan and Shen Mingxiao, the two wind mages, are the first to retreat in the shortest time.

In the middle are three light mages who act as light bulbs to dispel the darkness around them.

Captains Cheng Xiao and Mu Ningxue are at the back, and they can respond to any situation…

"I asked someone about your affairs in Bo City after the competition." Mu Ningxue whispered.

"Why, are you investigating me secretly?" Cheng Xiao smiled.

"No, I'm just curious about what you've experienced to become so powerful in just a few years." Mu Ningxue explained.

"I don't really believe it myself. If I have to say it, I'm just lucky." Cheng Xiao obviously didn't want to reveal too much.

Lucky… Mu Ningxue envied when she heard this word.

She awakened magic at the age of fourteen and has been practicing for six years so far.

Now her cultivation has reached the late intermediate stage, but despite this, she still lost to Cheng Xiao.

She lost to Cheng Xiao who had failed to awaken.

Although she would be happy for Cheng Xiao, her childhood playmate, it is impossible to say that she doesn't care at all…

Suddenly, her thoughts were interrupted by strange screams.

Not far ahead of the team, there were many hunchbacked monsters holding only bone sticks attacking.

"It's a cave demon slave!" Jingjing saw what kind of monster this was at a glance.

The cave demon slave is only slightly larger than a normal person, with abnormally thick arms, and likes to use bone sticks to smash living things to death.

"Ice lock…"

Just as Mu Ningxue was about to make a move, Cheng Xiao stopped her:

"Leave it to me."

Mu Ningxue looked at him puzzled, but did not ask any more questions.

Cheng Xiao released sixteen shadow one-eyed wolf soldiers to escort the team!

These sixteen shadow one-eyed wolf soldiers have been accompanying Cheng Xiao in battles since Bo City.

Cheng Xiao could feel that they were about to be promoted to the general level, and they could use this experience to their advantage…

"Sixteen? Six more than the previous sparring. Didn't he really use his full strength?" Liao Mingxuan couldn't help but say.

"Not only did we not use our full strength, our captain even let you go." Zhao Manyan said with a smile:

"You should know that when we entered the main campus for the assessment, the captain released a hundred undeads, which were beaten up and down by a thousand mid-level mages!"

"A hundred?"

The people from the Imperial Capital Academy obviously didn't believe it. This was simply impossible.

But seeing the people from the Pearl Academy looking at them as if they were idiotsSeeing them, the Imperial Capital exchange student team wavered again.

Could it be… true?

However, how could someone release a hundred undead in the intermediate realm?

Even a high-level necromancer would be a stretch, right?

"Is what they said… true?" Mu Ningxue also dared not imagine, and asked Cheng Xiao beside her for confirmation.

"Yes." Cheng Xiao smiled and nodded.

Mu Ningxue recalled the question she asked Cheng Xiao during the previous sparring.

She asked Cheng Xiao if the strength he showed was all, and Cheng Xiao's answer was just… barely.

Now, she completely understood.

The reason why he said barely was because he summoned the two strongest warriors.

As for the remaining ninety undead that had not been released, it was to give face to the Imperial Capital Academy!

Mu Ningxue's pride was hit again. She stared at Cheng Xiao and said:

"You are simply a monster!"

"How can you curse at me?"

Cheng Xiao secretly rejoiced. It was quite interesting to see this proud girl's defense break.

The two chatted, and naturally their teammates noticed it.

Although they were a distance away, they couldn't hear the details of their conversation.

But just from the expressions of the two, it seemed like they were flirting.

These two captains just had a sparring match a few days ago. How come they suddenly became so familiar?

"Why is our captain so happy to chat with the captain of the capital exchange student team? Could they have become good friends in just a few days?" Zheng Bingxiao couldn't help asking.

"I heard before that the captain is very charming, and the girls around him all came up to him. Now it seems that the captain is really good." Zhao Manyan also started to gossip.

"Don't guess, Brother Cheng and Ning Xue have known each other since childhood." Mo Fan came out to explain.

"..."

Mu Nujiao was walking in the middle of the team. When she heard the news about Cheng Xiao and Mu Ning Xue flirting, she felt so uncomfortable.

No matter what, she was Cheng Xiao's woman. Now she was like a victim. She didn't know how to explain it, so she could only hold it in.

She felt better after hearing Mo Fan's explanation…

The gossip at the Imperial Capital Academy was different.

"I think the captain took the initiative to talk to Cheng Xiao. Do you think the captain has fallen in love with Cheng Xiao?"

"This is very likely. The captain usually looks cold, but in fact he is not familiar with us."

"It is said that women admire strong men. Now it seems to be true… Of course, it is not ruled out that the captain may hate because of love."

Lu Zhenghe's face began to twitch when he heard the rumors from his teammates.

Since Lu Zhenghe entered the Imperial Capital Academy, he has been secretly in love with Mu Ningxue.

Although Mu Ningxue ignored Lu Zhenghe, the latter has already regarded Mu Ningxue as her own.

Now hearing the rumors from his teammates, Lu Zhenghe feels worse than being cheated!

Lu Zhenghe's face gradually darkened, thinking to himself:

"Cheng Xiao, you offended me again and again, and you even want to snatch Ning Xue away. You are really asking for death. I will make you pay the price!"

......

With Cheng Xiao's shadow soldiers escorting them, everyone passed through the tunnel smoothly without casualties.

Everyone found a place with water near the railway tracks and checked whether there were any demons nearby.

After confirming that it was safe, they began to build tents…

Mu Nujiao found Cheng Xiao and asked:

"Did you and Mu Ningxue know each other when you were young?"

"Yes, we had a good relationship when we were young." Cheng Xiao saw through her little thoughts and couldn't help laughing:

"Jealous?"

"No, I'm not that petty, it's just… I don't want to hide our relationship like now." Mu Nujiao said in a low voice.

"I didn't intend to hide it. You've been hiding it because you've been shy." Cheng Xiao looked helpless.

Mu Nujiao couldn't refute it. It was indeed because she was too cowardly that her relationship with Cheng Xiao became so stiff.

"I, I don't want to hide it anymore." Mu Nujiao said.

"Then I'll announce it?" Cheng Xiao asked.

Mu Nujiao looked puzzled, and nodded after a little hesitation.

At this time, Zhao Manyan came over and asked:

"Captain, when will the meal be served?"

"Meal?" Cheng Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to eat dog food?"

"What?"

Zhao Manyan didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

Then he saw Cheng Xiao holding Mu Nujiao's face and kissing her…
