This Duel is About My XP

"Tsk tsk, what stage is your summoned beast at? Is it already at the Mature Stage?"

Zhan Kong asked curiously.

"No, to be precise, it should be considered the Growth Stage."

Dongfang Chen said.

The demonic beasts in this world were divided into five growth stages.

They were the Infant Stage, Juvenile Stage, Growth Stage, Mature Stage, and Peak Stage.

A Winged Lion King that grew to the Peak Stage could undoubtedly become a Sixth Order Magical Beast, equivalent to a Dou Emperor.

But for now, the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was only a Third Tier Magical Beast, which should count as the Growth Stage.

However, thanks to Dongfang Chen feeding it the Companion Purple Crystal Source, the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was not far from the Fourth Tier.

At the Third Tier, Little Purple was roughly equivalent to a Commander Level Demonic Beast. If it didn't use its Purple Fire, it was slightly weaker than an average Commander Level, barely a Sub-Commander.

Once Little Purple entered the Fourth Tier, its strength could rival a Great Commander.

If compared to the Original Work, a Third Tier Little Purple was slightly weaker than the Winged Cang Wolf during the Bocheng disaster, while a Fourth Tier Little Purple could utterly thrash the Winged Cang Wolf.

"Tsk tsk, it's only in the Growth Stage and already has Commander Level Combat Power? When it reaches the Mature Stage, that'll be something else!"

Zhan Kong said with an envious look.

That sleek, glossy fur, those muscles with perfect lines, and that unique flame coiled around its horn.

If he could ride such a majestic Summoned Beast out for a spin, how cool would that be?

"Looks like your Summoned Beast has excellent bloodline."

Zhan Kong asked curiously.

"Where did you find such a rare Summoned Beast?"

"Just in the Summoning Space. I ran into it as soon as I entered."

Dongfang Chen's words left Zhan Kong silent.

If anyone could casually run into a Summoned Beast with such a high bloodline in the Summoning Space, then Bai Yang wouldn't have only contracted an ordinary Ghost Wolf Beast.

Dongfang Chen smiled without saying a word.

Anyway, if asked, the answer was that he encountered it in the Summoning Space.

If you didn't believe it? Well, believe it or not.

"Alright, alright, I'm not going to argue with you. You Kid never speaks a word of truth."

Zhan Kong waved his hand, then sent his Subordinates to clean up the scene.

At that moment, Mofan approached Zhan Kong with a sly look.

"Chief Instructor Zhan Kong, what you said back then still counts, right?"

Mofan pulled out a Blue Bracelet.

This was the target of their Bounty Mission during this training.

Back then, Zhan Kong had said that whoever got this bracelet, he would personally reward them with a Defensive Magic Tool.

Mofan had been holding onto that promise in his heart for a long time.

"What did I say... Holy shit!" Zhan Kong's eyes suddenly widened.

Damn! He miscalculated!

With such a Big Event as the Black Church kidnapping happening, he didn't think anyone would still remember this Blue Bracelet?!

Zhan Kong's face twitched as he Looked Towards Mofan.

"You, you're Mofan, right?"

Mofan grinned: "That's right, Chief Instructor Zhan Kong wouldn't go back on his word, would he?"

Zhan Kong choked back a breath: "No."

"Hehe, good, good."

Mofan said with a wide smile.

Ever since he found out Dongfang Chen wouldn't compete with him, he'd been looking forward to that Defensive Magic Tool for a long time.

Now, he finally got what he wanted.

After the matter was settled.

The Military Mage team brought the students to the safe zone of the Snow Mountain Posthouse.

Zhan Kong took a beaming Mofan to pick out a Magic Tool.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Chen made some compensations to his classmates.

Although no one died in this incident, quite a few were injured.

Besides, the Black Church had come after him specifically for kidnapping, so these training classmates had suffered an undeserved calamity.

Dongfang Chen felt that, by all reason and fairness, he ought to offer everyone some compensation.

Soon, the students who had been wearing grim expressions brightened up noticeably.

The compensation Dongfang Chen offered was a drop in the bucket to him, but to many of the students, it was an extremely generous sum.

With this compensation, everyone could afford some decent cultivation resources.

After the kidnapping incident, the Black Church completely vanished from Bocheng.

No matter how hard Zhan Kong and Tang Yue searched, they could no longer find any trace of the Black Church's presence.

One thing worth mentioning was that Bai Yang was dead.

He hadn't died during interrogation, but on the road while being transported back.

According to Tang Yue, Bai Yang had poisoned himself to death.

But Dongfang Chen didn't believe it at all.

If he had wanted to kill himself, he would have done it long ago—why wait until the transport journey?

Zhan Kong and Tang Yue didn't believe it either, but neither of them could find any sign of poisoning.

And so the matter was dropped.

Dongfang Chen still knew about a few pawns the Black Church had planted in Bocheng, such as Mu He, Mu Zhuo Yun's younger brother, and Mu Yuang, Mu Zhuo Yun's adopted son.

But if he came out and said it directly, he couldn't explain the source of his information.

In fact, pawns like Yuang were insignificant—the kind the Black Church could abandon at any time.

Even if they were caught, it wouldn't hurt the Black Church.

As for Mu He, that guy might have caught wind of something in advance, always using the excuse of business trips to stay away from Bocheng and even the Mu Family for a long time.

Even if Dongfang Chen directly revealed his true identity, the Military Department and the Judgment Department wouldn't be able to catch him.

Still, the Military Department hadn't come away empty-handed.

At least with the hints Dongfang Chen had subtly dropped earlier, the Military Department, together with the City Demon Hunting Squad, had found the underground tunnels beneath Bocheng and filled them in ahead of time.

They even sent people to keep a close watch, preventing any similar incidents from happening again.

With these safeguards in place.

It was nearly impossible for the Black Church to use the tunnels to send demons to attack Bocheng again.

Time passed quickly.

Mofan, just like in the original work, went to join the City Demon Hunting Squad.

He even dragged Dongfang Chen along with him.

At first, Dongfang Chen found it somewhat novel, but later he realized the demons roaming the city were far too weak.

For Mofan, this level of demon might have been just right for training, but for Dongfang Chen, who had long been battle-hardened, it was almost useless.

So after a few days with the City Demon Hunting Squad, Dongfang Chen started slacking off, working only when he felt like it.

He'd rather spend that time at home, cuddling with the soft and fragrant Ye Xin Xia.

As time went on.

Dongfang Chen and Ye Xin Xia reached their senior year of high school.

In fact, Ye Xin Xia was a year younger than Dongfang Chen.

The reason she was in the same grade as him was, of course, because Dongfang Chen had pulled some strings.

As for being too young to awaken magic, that wasn't a big deal for Ye Xin Xia either.

Although the typical age for awakening magic was around fifteen, that age wasn't set in stone.

Being a little older or a little younger was fine, as long as it wasn't too far off.

For example, Mu Ningxue had awakened her magic even earlier because she was a Self-Awakening.

Once they reached senior year.

Since Mofan hadn't gotten into any major conflict with the Mu Clan, his Magic Duel with Yuang naturally never happened.

But Dongfang Chen still had a Three Year Agreement with Mu Ningxue.

Even though it was called the Three Year Agreement, that was what the Crazy System considered it to be.

In reality, it was only two years.

Dongfang Chen took this Magic Duel very seriously.

After all, it was about his own XP.

Whether or not he could get Xuexue to wear that outfit with almost no fabric depended entirely on this duel!
