Full-Time Magister: The Calamity of Fire, the Emperor's Flame Burns the Heavens

Chapter 20: A plea for help from Zhan Kong – Let's set off for Jinlin!

As the New Year passed, Huayu's life in the ancient capital remained as peaceful as ever.

"Judging by the days, it's about time for Mo Fan and the others to set off for the Imperial Capital Academy as exchange students."

"Time really flies!" Hua Yu couldn't help but exclaim.

However, a phone call soon shattered Huayu's peace.

Hua Yu looked at his ringing phone, glanced at the caller ID, and immediately answered.

"Hello, is this Xiaoyu?" Zhan Kong's deep voice came from the other end of the phone to Huayu's phone.

"It's me, Xingyi. What's up?" Huayu asked.

After all, this person hadn't been in contact with them much since being demoted to that remote corner of Bo City by his father, so it would be a lie to say there was nothing wrong with him.

There just happened to be a group of undead outside the ancient capital. Cough cough, I've gone too far with the joke.

"The teacher supported an experimental project that studies demons. Do you remember it?" Zhan Kong asked.

"Yes, but this experimental project has been halted. Why?"

If he guessed correctly, Zhan Kong probably learned that Lu Nian had disobeyed orders from above and had not stopped the experiment, but had continued to conduct research in secret.

However, Mo Fan's innate dual-elemental talent has now appeared on the innate talent ranking list, attracting the attention of Lu Nian, who is secretly researching the demonic element.

It seemed that Zhan Kong was about to ask him for help. Sure enough, Hua Yu's guess was right; Zhan Kong's next step was to ask him for help.

"Those bastards actually disobeyed orders and are secretly researching... Have you seen the recent innate talent rankings?"

"I saw it. You were born with dual systems. So what?"

“That guy is one of my underlings. Now his research is being watched. Hua Yu, your ancient capital is quite close to Jinlin City. I'd appreciate it if you could make a trip there.”

"I'm begging you, Zu Xingyi!" Zhan Kong said anxiously.

Hua Yu didn't expect Zhan Kong to value Mo Fan so much that he didn't even use his alias and asked for help using his real name.

"Senior brother, given our past interactions, you don't need to do this. I'll set off now and should be able to make it in time!" Hua Yu was also a little helpless, after all, he had gone all the way just to save someone.

However, Hua Yu thought that he would see two beautiful girls from the magic academy on his trip to Jinlin, so he wasn't upset anymore.

After all, who wouldn't want to get intimate with two beauties like Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao?

"Alright, I've already set off. We should arrive around the same time." Zhan Kong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Hua Yu agree, hung up the phone, and prepared to focus on his journey.

Seeing that Zhan Kong had hung up the phone, Hua Yu found Lin Yuan, told him about his trip that would last for a few days, made some arrangements, said goodbye to Lu Xu, and then left the ancient capital.

Lin Yuan had already reached the advanced level and was able to cast advanced magic, so he could temporarily take over my position without any problem.

It took a little effort on Lu Xu's side, but fortunately, he managed to get leave in the end. However, the price he paid was naturally more shifts. Hua Yu rode his Sky Eagle towards Jinlin. On his way to Jinlin City, Mo Fan's innate dual-elemental abilities finally went viral online, spreading wider and wider.

"It seems Mo Fan and the others have probably arrived in Jinlin by now," Hua Yu muttered to himself, watching the video of Mo Fan's magical duel with the Imperial Academy.

----------

At this moment, Mo Fan and his companions had just arrived at a small town next to Jinlin Wasteland City. After preparing a series of supplies, they began to head towards Jinlin City.

They stood tall and straight, their faces filled with confident smiles, especially the group from the Imperial Capital University, who were incredibly proud.

However, the more confident they are now, the more desperate they will be in a while. It seems that very few of the people from the Imperial Academy who came to Jinlin Wasteland will be able to return alive.

Walking on the abandoned railway tracks, now covered in moss.

The railway tracks were completely rusted, covered in brown stains, and stretched straight into the distant green fields and forests. The part that disappeared into the forest was completely hidden by thorns and tall grass. If you didn't look carefully, you would never know that this was once a railway.

After much arguing, the two teams finally chose their respective representatives, and then everyone headed towards the distant tunnel.

In the pitch-black tunnel, the group moved forward cautiously, enduring the stench emanating from all around.

But fate seems to love playing tricks on these young mages from the academy; the tunnel has been taken over by a den of cave demon slaves.

Mo Fan and his group finally escaped from the cave demon slaves and left the tunnel.

The group, covered in the stench of the tunnel, decided to leave and find a water source to wash themselves.

Shortly after they left, a giant, snow-white eagle soared through the air and arrived at the tunnel they had just escaped from.

"The magical aura is very strong. It seems they have only just arrived in Jinlin City. But it seems I'm too early," Hua Yu said quietly, looking at the faint figures in the distance.

Next, he stopped riding the Sky Eagle. Although he was powerful, he still had to show some respect to Jinlin City, which had become a paradise for demons.

"I think I've thought of something fun." A mysterious smile appeared on Hua Yu's lips.

Then Hua Yu transformed into a streak of fire and headed towards the direction Mo Fan and the others were heading. Mo Fan and the others, who were focused on observing their surroundings, were unaware that a surprise awaited them.

Just as Mo Fan and the others found a water source near the tracks and were about to put down their belongings and prepare to pitch their tents for the night,

They suddenly sensed a terrifying aura, and the people who had been sitting down to rest all stood up, looking at the distance with solemn expressions.

A burst of fire, filled with an aura of destruction, appeared before their eyes.

"This ball of fire looks so familiar," Mu Ningxue murmured, looking at the colorful flame in the sky.

Not only Mu Ningxue, but Mu Nujiao also felt that she looked familiar, but she just couldn't put her finger on it.
