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

Chapter 73 Kui Niu Drum, Super-Awakening Curse and Harmony System!

[I've had a minor health issue and need to be hospitalized for surgery. It's nothing serious, but it will still affect me somewhat, so I didn't update yesterday. I was thinking of having the surgery, but I'm trying to overcome this and try to maintain my daily double-update schedule. Thank you all for your support!]

A strange light appeared in Zhao Chengyue's eyes:
"The power of the totem is hidden in this leg bone, and this piece of animal hide is a rare material. It was placed in the lair of this demon. Although it is somewhat worn, it should still be able to be refined and used to forge magical tools."

Jiang Shaojun also came up and looked at the dark blue animal hide, which was larger than his whole body, with a look of surprise.

"I didn't expect it to be a foreign skin, and such a large piece at that. If we use it to forge magical tools, we should be able to make quite a few," Jiang Shaojun said.

Zhao Chengyue, however, recalled a record about the Kui ox, and on a whim, he stepped forward, took the Kui ox hide in his hand, and tentatively tapped it with his fingers.

Suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Old Jiang, perhaps we can try using this Kui ox hide to make drums."

"Drum making?"

Jiang Shaojun looked puzzled.

"That seems like it might work?"

Zhao Chengyue slowly recited what he knew about the records concerning drums made from Kui ox hide.

“This is an absolute treasure for a sonic mage. However, I can’t be sure. I’ll go back and ask Master Huotuo if we can make a drum out of this Kui ox hide. If we succeed, we’ll make a fortune,” Zhao Chengyue said with a slight smile.

He hasn't even completed his super-level awakening yet. If he awakens a sound-based one, he'll keep the Kui Niu Drum for himself. If he doesn't awaken it, he can still auction it off for a high-level one.

Jiang Shaojun nodded thoughtfully.

Zhao Chengyue smiled and looked over, "Don't worry, you also have a share of this Kui ox hide. If you hadn't brought me here, I would never have imagined that the Kui ox carcass would be in this lake."

"This Kui ox hide is so big, we should use it sparingly and not waste it. We should be able to make two Kui ox drums."

Before leaving, Zhao Chengyue plundered a considerable amount, some of which he shared with Jiang Shaojun. He was hoping that Jiang Shaojun would find him more totems, and compared to that, what he gave was just a drop in the ocean.

Next, Zhao Chengyue and Jiang Shaojun returned to the Tengshe Ruins. However, the gains here were not as great as the previous two, as the skeletons were damaged and the totem power they obtained was limited.

Xuanming was buried in a demon kingdom.

Although located on the edge of the demon kingdom's territory, Zhao Chengyue and Jiang Shaojun still chose to go there. With lightning speed, they killed the three commander-level demons who were occupying that area. After collecting the Xuanming relics, they chose to return to the city.

"Tengshe didn't leave behind any unusual materials, but these unusual bones can be refined and used as a coupling agent for forging magical tools."

"Xuanming's burial place is not bad. After digging it out of the silt, I found a whole tortoise shell containing a large amount of totem power. After the power lock absorbed and refined it, it fed back to me, which greatly reduced the difficulty of the summoning system breaking through to the super level."

Zhao Chengyue and Jiang Shaojun have returned to Shanghai and found Master Huo Tuo to retrieve the materials.

Before Huo Tuo could react, Zhao Chengyue waved his right hand, and a huge pile of materials filled the spacious courtyard.

"what?"

Huo Tuo was completely bewildered. What was going on?
"Master, these are all materials we found during our expeditions. Some are rare materials that can be used directly, while others are the remains of monarch-level demons. After some refinement, they can be added to the forging of magical tools. I would like to ask you to take a look."

After Zhao Chengyue finished speaking with a smile, he took out another card that he had prepared in advance.

"This card contains a small amount of money, considered as a reward for the master's hard work in helping with the forging."

"Ahem, I'm so sorry!"

Huo Tuo's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the card and put it in his pocket.

"Let me see, ouch—"

Huo Tuo looked at them more and more strangely, and his gaze towards the two of them was full of oddities.

You found so many treasures while going on an adventure?
"What a load of bull!" But Huo Tuo didn't delve into it. He didn't care how the two found these treasures. After appraising them and giving their value, he did so.

Zhao Chengyue waved his hand very generously:

“These are minor issues, Master Huo. I’ll trouble you to make this Kui ox hide into a drum. I’ll have someone send you the relevant information. You can also contact my family directly for the forging materials needed later. Money and materials are not a problem!”

Huo Tuo gave a thumbs up, "Good, I admire young people like you. I'll prioritize forging these materials for you!"

Zhao Chengyue chuckled.

After breaking up with Jiang Shaojun, Zhao Chengyue went directly to the Mingzhu Pagoda.

Although his family also had top-tier awakening stones, his father and Qin Yu'er weren't home right now, so he was too lazy to go back. He decided to awaken his stones and then return to school.

Entering the Awakening Room, Zhao Chengyue took a deep breath and stood on the Awakening Platform.

He can now skillfully cast the ice-type super-level magic Snow Princess's Cry, and he hasn't neglected the training of the other elements, especially the space and water elements.

"Let me see what kind of magic I can awaken this time. I hope it won't be too bad."

Zhao Chengyue placed his hand on the Awakening Stone, slowly closed his eyes, and felt a chill in his palm.

A tingling sensation surged through me.

A surge of energy erupted from the Awakening Stone, entering the body through the palm and eventually being drawn into the spiritual world, making a gurgling sound.

Within the realm of consciousness, Zhao Chengyue's mind slowly opened its eyes.

Before my eyes, I see the dazzling colors of six star seas/galaxies, including ice and summoning types.

A moment later, the starry sky trembled beside the summoner.

A speck of stardust was created from nothing, and Zhao Chengyue could vaguely sense that his spiritual power had been enhanced to a certain extent.

"My mental strength only recently broke through to the mid-sixth realm, and I awakened two new magic systems. My mental strength has also increased to some extent as I continue to cultivate and break through."

"The second Mind Stone probably won't last much longer either. However, it should be enough to support my breakthrough to the late stage of the sixth realm of mental power."

Breaking through to the Super-Order with the Ice Element greatly boosted my mental power, and it won't take long for me to break through to the late stage of the Sixth Realm.

"Hmm? It's a curse-type?"

Zhao Chengyue's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected such an unexpected surprise.

However, I do think this is reasonable.

Of the first six systems, four are elemental systems: ice, wind, lightning, water, space, and summoning.

"A dark magic has arrived too. Let's see if the eighth element that's about to awaken is white magic," Zhao Chengyue thought to himself.

But he had little hope for it and did not want to awaken white magic.

There are only four types of white magic: plant magic, healing magic, mind magic, and blessing magic. Although blessing magic can be incredibly powerful, it can only be awakened by people from the Parthenon, so he had no hope for it at all.

A moment later, a brand new stardust was born next to the cursed stardust, and Zhao Chengyue was so surprised that he opened his mouth.

"Phonetic system?"

Just like a pillow appearing when you're sleepy, Zhao Chengyue was no longer sleepy at all.
