Tang Miao had always been capable of forming a One Star Track, but his talent was simply too freakish. Aside from Tang Yue, no one knew about it. But now, if he wanted to find work and make some money, he had no choice but to reveal a little of it.
A General Level Sea Fish Demon, with the people on their team and himself included, might not be impossible to kill instantly. After all, his Second Order Lightning Magic was already no weaker than an Intermediate Fire Element's First Level Magic. He had tested this with Tang Yue.
The muscular man was so shocked that he could barely close his mouth. He stared at Tang Miao in utter astonishment, while feeling extremely envious inside. He could not understand how someone like this could exist in the world. Having an Innate Talent for Lightning Magic was one thing, but he even had an innate talent? How was anyone supposed to live with that...
After being stunned for a while, the muscular man finally said, "Kid, although I don't know your circumstances, you're still too young. I really can't take you out of the Safe Zone. I don't have enough strength to guarantee your safety. If anything happened to you, wouldn't I become a sinner?"
If he took someone with such exceptional talent out of the Safe Zone and failed to bring him back, he would truly become a sinner. After all, when Demons and Monsters ran rampant, how important was a genius to the nation? Clearly, this muscular man still had a sense of responsibility.
Tang Miao felt helpless, and ultimately had no choice but to leave.
The other party was doing it for his own good, even though he did not need it. But since he had already refused so firmly, continuing to chatter would not accomplish anything. After leaving the Hunter's Hall, Tang Miao searched a few more places. However, there were no bounties in Magic Capital that Beginner Mages could participate in... The City Monster Hunting Squad was the same as ever.
Tang Miao could not help but marvel at how powerful the Protagonist Halo was. Mo Fan was clearly only a Beginner Level One Lightning Mage, yet he could already make money, while even he, with his Level Two, was not good enough.
Of course, the location was also a factor.
In a small city like Bo City, there were only a few Advanced Mages.
But in Magic Capital, not to mention Advanced Mages, there were even quite a few Super Level Mages.
In the end, Tang Miao could only dejectedly drag himself back to school.
Although the campus had no peerlessly beautiful women, the fair, shapely legs he saw along the way were still pleasing to the eye.
"Tang Miao?"
Just as he was about to head to the Training Ground, his homeroom teacher, Li Li, called out from behind him. Hearing her voice, Tang Miao stopped.
"Teacher Li Li."
Li Li swayed her small, rounded hips as she came over and said, "Didn't you ask for leave? Why did you come back?"
Tang Miao shrugged and replied, "Sigh, it's a long story!"
This was the first time Li Li had seen Tang Miao so dispirited, and she felt curious. "What happened? You get dejected too?"
Tang Miao thought for a moment before finally telling her about his interview that day.
After hearing what Tang Miao had said, Li Li looked at him in disbelief. "Are you short of money?"
"No kidding!"
"With your talent and the support of the Judgment Society, are you joking with me?"
Li Li spoke incredulously. After all, Tang Miao had been sent here by people from the Judgment Society. He was saying he was short of money now? How was that possible? Who would believe it...
"I think you may have misunderstood. I have nothing to do with the Judgment Society. Otherwise, would I need to look for a job now? And if I did, would I have been assigned to your class?"
At that moment, Tang Miao finally felt the pressure of entering society.
It seemed no different from his previous life!
If you wanted to live a bright and dignified life, you had to put in a certain amount of effort. But before he received his Graduation Certificate, even if he wanted to work hard, there was nowhere to do it!
Li Li puffed out her cheeks angrily, slapped Tang Miao lightly, and said with embarrassment and fury, "What do you mean, 'if I had connections, would I still be assigned to your class'? Why are you so annoying!"
Although the students she had received at the beginning really had mediocre aptitude, was that because she lacked ability? It was clearly because she had started working relatively late...
Tang Miao was already too lazy to think about it anymore. Looking at Li Li, he said, "By the way, I took off so quickly because of you. Don't you think you should treat me to a meal?"
"No."
Li Li gave a light snort, then pushed Tang Miao aside and walked toward the teaching building.
On the way, Tang Miao thought about how to improve his strength as quickly as possible and arrived at the Training Ground. Just as he was about to meditate on Ice Magic, he suddenly paused... because he had thought of a way to solve the problem! He could focus on one element first, couldn't he?
It seemed there really was no need to cultivate both elements together!
Previously, he had been thinking about how Mo Fan practiced Dual Cultivation, so he had always cultivated both elements together as well. But if he devoted the time spent on both elements to one element, the results would be completely different!
After figuring it out, Tang Miao began meditating with peace of mind. Once he reached the Intermediate Level and could take on bounties, he would have an income. Why would he still need to worry about his cultivation speed?
However, Tang Miao did not choose Lightning Element first. Instead, he chose Ice Element. After all, although Lightning Element truly had formidable power, its cultivation speed was incredibly slow...
Because of its domain, Ice Element's attack power was also not weak at all.
Time passed quickly, and summer vacation arrived once again. This time, Tang Miao was still firmly first in the Magic Test. Moreover, after half a year, his Ice Element Beginner Magic had reached Level Three. However, breaking through to the Intermediate Level without advanced resources was nothing more than wishful thinking...
If he cultivated normally, his speed was already very fast, several times faster than other people's.
But for Tang Miao, it was still not enough. Besides, blindly cultivating without actual combat was definitely not viable.
Therefore, taking advantage of the summer vacation, Tang Miao returned to the village and secretly took the Totem Snake away.
The Totem Snake usually chose to stay here and guard the place, but he had no other choice. If he wanted to improve quickly, battle was the only option. Otherwise, why did so many people enjoy going on trials?
However, it definitely would not work if he went out to train alone. In the Demon and Monster Land, even a team could encounter danger, let alone a Beginner Mage like him.
So although he knew he should not do this, as long as he did not take the Dark Serpent away for too long, there should not be any major problem.
Half a day later...
Tang Miao brought the Dark Serpent to the outside of the West Fortress. If the Dark Serpent had not carried him, he really would not have been able to get out...
This time, Tang Miao's target for his trial was the Clawed Plague Rat. These Demon Beasts were known as the weakest creatures among the demons, and with Tang Miao's strength, dealing with them naturally would not be difficult. The reason he brought the Dark Serpent was to guard against the unexpected. If he encountered a General Level rat, or if a flock of White Demon Eagles living in the West Ridge came hunting for food, he would be in great danger.
