Full-Time Magister: White Tiger's Power Lock, Unrivaled Sacred Beast

Chapter 42 A Belated Water-Based Talent? The Grudges and Feuds of the Eldest Uncle's Family, and the Semi-Forbidden Curse of the Yan Clan.

After obtaining the "Secret Manual of Mind Control," Zhao Chengyue and Pang Lai had just stepped out of the courtyard when they saw a man walking towards them with a smile.

"Elder Pang, who is this?" Bai Xu asked.

“Bai Xu, this is the second young master of the Zhao family. He came to the Forbidden City to see me because the Zhao family head asked me to give him something,” Pang Lai said with a smile.

"So you're the young master of the Zhao family." Bai Xu nodded with a smile.

"This is Bai Xu, the Southern Commander," Pang Lai introduced.

"Yes, I've met Nan Shou."

Zhao Chengyue nodded and smiled, but a strange emotion welled up in his heart.

You little brat, don't think I won't recognize you just because you're pretending to be Bai Xu.

Actually, Jiuying was quite wronged.

In fact, he was the cardinal in charge of the Dragon Kingdom region.

Unexpectedly, Salon usurped the position, leading the world to mistakenly believe that she, Salon, was the cardinal of the Dragon Kingdom.

Bai Xu had been hiding in the Forbidden City, and had even become the Southern Guardian.

This was just a minor incident, and Zhao Chengyue didn't care.

With two and a half months left before the three-month exchange program, he had plenty of time to cultivate properly in the capital.

And, while the iron is hot, continue to deepen your relationship with Mu Ningxue in order to completely win her over!

After leaving the Forbidden City, Zhao Chengyue immediately returned to his apartment in the capital city. In his room, he tried to meditate and improve his mental strength according to the cultivation method in the manual.

The original stone, which was the size of two fists, is now large enough to be held in one hand and can no longer support Zhao Chengyue's continued absorption and refinement.

"I didn't expect this manual to be so effective. After replacing the meditation method I used to cultivate mental power, the speed at which my mental power grows has obviously increased by several levels."

Zhao Chengyue opened his eyes, a look of joy on his face.

With the secret manual given by Pang Lai, he can significantly shorten the time it takes to break through to the fifth realm of spiritual power.

At that time, his spatial abilities will also become a great asset to him.

"In this manual, there is also a mental power control technique, which is a basic application of mental power. Once you master this mental power technique, you can develop stronger attack methods based on it. When you fight against a powerful enemy, you can use this move to catch them off guard."

Zhao Chengyue smiled and couldn't wait to start cultivating.

The power of their mental strength is beyond doubt.

However, the only uses of mental power are the four dimensional magic spells and when facing mental attacks.

As long as you master these secret techniques of spiritual power that are not passed on to outsiders.

He can also do it, just like a bewitching spider, using his mental power to kill enemies undetected.

Speaking of the Bewitching Spider, after Mo Fan and the others left, Zhao Chengyue casually killed it without even releasing its essence, and didn't take it seriously.

For the next period of time, Zhao Chengyue focused his cultivation on meditation to improve his mental strength and water-based abilities.

Of the six elements, only the water and wind elements are still at the mid-level.

The water system is at the intermediate level three. With full effort in cultivation, it won't be long before it reaches the threshold of the advanced level, and then it can successfully break through by borrowing the Star River Vein.

As for his next plans, Zhao Chengyue intends to cultivate some more and more, and then go to Hangzhou.

Let's see if the White Tiger's special ability lock can resonate with the Black Serpent.

The Black Serpent is a totem after all; it would be great if it could stimulate the White Tiger's special ability lock.

Two and a half months passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Zhao Chengyue often invited Mu Ningxue to the hotel to absorb the icy energy and help her nourish her body.

As a result, Mu Ningxue became increasingly reliant on Zhao Chengyue.

She had even reluctantly allowed Zhao Chengyue to go further, except for that final step, she had given herself to Zhao Chengyue without reservation.

In high spirits, Zhao Chengyue happily returned to Shanghai with Zhao Manyan, Mo Fan, and others.

Upon his return, Zhao Chengyue went straight to Mingzhu, secured a spot for the Three Steps Tower training this month, and began his training there.

This time, he wants to break through to a higher level for the water system as well.

As his mental strength improved, Zhao Chengyue spent less time entering the Three-Step Tower and going directly to the fourth floor this time, allowing him to spend more time cultivating.

After the seven-day training period ended.

With the help of the Star River Vein, Zhao Chengyue's water element broke through to the high level as expected, becoming the fifth of the six elements to break through to the high level.

The wind element broke through to the mid-level third stage, and the lightning element broke through to the high-level second stage.

Half of the magic-based cultivators had increased their cultivation levels, making them even stronger. Zhao Chengyue emerged from the Three-Step Tower with satisfaction.

But a glimmer of light flickered in his eyes, and he murmured to himself.

"My water system is indeed a bit different."

After breaking through to a higher level in the water system, Zhao Chengyue discovered that the color of his water system had turned somewhat black!

"Perhaps it's a hidden talent in water-based abilities that's slowly awakening after breaking through to a higher level?"

"Although it's a bit impossible, my innate dual-elemental talent only came after I broke through to the advanced level, so it seems quite normal that the water-elemental talent came late, right?"

Zhao Chengyue felt a slight excitement.

If he is truly a 'naturally late-blooming talent,' first he was naturally late with two types of talent, and then he became late with water-type talent. Will he become late with other types of talent in the future?

"However, my water-type talent is not very obvious. I still need to hone and test it myself. As the saying goes, 'dark water is deep,' maybe my water-type talent is reflected in this. I will go back and check and test it carefully."

Qin Yu'er hasn't returned yet, and it's estimated that it will be about another week before she completes this mission and returns home. Zhao Chengyue has returned to the Zhao family manor.

He met his uncle, Chenying's father, Zhao Yulin, the illogical ghost woman who had been disguised for a long time without being discovered.

"Nephew Chengyue, your trip to the capital this time really boosted the reputation of the Zhao family!"

Zhao Yulin walked over with a smile, praising repeatedly, looking very appreciative, even with a hint of ingratiation.

When he competed for the position of head of the Zhao family, he lost to his younger brother Zhao Lingyun without any suspense, and since then he has had no other thoughts about the position.

He just didn't expect Zhao Lingyun's son to be so successful. Whether for his own sake or for Chenying's, he had to maintain a good relationship with Zhao Chengyue.

"Haha, Uncle, you're too kind. Speaking of which, I didn't see my cousin during my trip to the capital. I wonder where she is," Zhao Chengyue said.

Upon returning this time, he planned to first deal with the ghost woman, and then go to find Jiang Feng to bring the truth of this ten-year-old incident to light.

Firstly, he felt disgusted that this wicked woman had infiltrated his Zhao family.

Secondly, he wanted to find a suitable excuse to continue his relationship with the Yan family for the totem later on.

Feeling guilty about the death of 'Moon Phoenix', Yan Shi withdrew from the realm of magic.

But once this misunderstanding is cleared up, Yan will regain her true identity—a semi-forbidden spellcaster!

He became a great help to Zhao Chengyue and the Zhao family.

Since Zhao Yulin and his wife returned from Zhuoyuan ten years ago, after Jiang Feng suffered severe burns all over her body, her relationship with her mother, Yan Shi, has deteriorated due to her own actions.
