Phoenix Warrior of Full-Time Magister

Chapter 93 Dummy

Mu Ningxue rested for a long time but still couldn't stand up. She also ignored Yunhua's questions, making Yunhua dare not leave her side for even a moment.

The others recovered quickly, and only after Yunhua inquired did they learn that after separating from Mo Fan, they encountered Jiang Yi and his group, who had been routed by the military region and the academy.

After the two sides met, a battle naturally ensued. Although Jiang Yi and his group had already experienced a battle, they were still slightly stronger than Mu Ningxue and her group. After all, they only had two attack mages, Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao, while Jiang Yi's team consisted of well-trained military mages.

Left with no other choice, Mu Ningxue used the Ice Crystal Bow to freeze all of her opponents, but she was also exhausted and barely managed to hold on until Yun Hua arrived.

The group has now gathered together, except for Mo Fan. Yun Hua is not worried about Mo Fan's situation. Even if he is captured by Lu Nian, it will be a good thing for him, as the demon element will be of great help to Mo Fan's future adventures.

Whether it's saving Zhang Xiaohou in the ancient capital or saving his wife Xinxia at the Parthenon after the Nationalist government war, it really wouldn't be possible without a demonic element.

Mo Fan was destined to walk this path sooner or later, because he needed this power!

However, when it comes to demon-type items, Yunhua is also very curious about them. Although Yunhua feels that he may not be able to use them, it would be good to take them back and study them.

So Yunhua went to Jiang Yi's ice sculpture and smashed it. Jiang Yi's body was also broken into pieces as the ice shattered. Anyway, they were powerless to resist the ice crystal scythe because of the previous battle, and they had already died the moment they were frozen.

After searching for a while, Yunhua finally found the key item for awakening the Demon type—the Bloodstone.

A special artifact blood, as red as water, floated in Yun Hua's hand. Its strange luster made it impossible to discern which system it belonged to, but it contained an incomparably powerful force.

This blood-red substance looks like blood that has congealed when it falls, but it feels like glass. If you squeeze it with both hands, you can crush it.

Everyone looked at what Yunhua had found after searching and asked curiously, "What is this thing Yunhua found?"

Yunhua: "This is the new magic system that Lu Nian and his team are researching—the Demonic system. As long as you absorb it, you can possess a new system. It's just a pity that no one has succeeded so far."

"Then why are you carrying it? You should throw away something so dangerous!"

Yunhua shook his head and said, "Although this Blood Shard is a deadly weapon for us, it is a treasure for Mo Fan. If he uses it, he should be able to achieve Lu Nian's goal in developing it and become a powerful demon."

Zhao Manyan asked with some concern, "Yunhua, are you sure? Did you and Mo Fan have a fight? You should communicate about problems promptly; there's no need to resort to such drastic measures!"

Yunhua chuckled after hearing this, "How could that be? You're overthinking it."

Listen to me, for Bloodlust to work, it needs to draw enormous energy from the mage's spiritual world, an energy that exceeds the maximum capacity of any mage at any level.

A novice mage, Bloodlust, can draw energy exceeding that of a single stardust.

A mid-level mage like Bloodlust can draw energy from more than two nebulae.

When a high-level mage is reached, Bloodlust can draw energy from more than three galaxies.

Furthermore, this excess may be quite significant, potentially leading to the mage losing their mind, experiencing a mental breakdown, or becoming physically desiccated.

Excessive magical energy extraction will cause immense mental shock, leading to mental collapse. Insufficient energy extraction prevents the system from being truly activated. However, Mo Fan is born with dual magical energy systems, making him the only person in the world with superhuman magical energy at a fixed rank.

So, just as Lu Nian and the others thought, Mo Fan was the most suitable candidate!

Seeing that everyone was still somewhat hesitant, Yunhua reassured them, saying that she was just offering a suggestion and that the outcome would depend on Mo Fan's choice.

"I wonder where Mo Fan is now. I wish we hadn't split up!"

Suddenly, Mu Nujiao pointed to the sky and whispered to everyone, "Look, what's going on there!"

Everyone looked up in the direction Mu Nujiao pointed and saw a giant eagle with pure white feathers. It was two sizes larger than an ordinary eagle and so white that not a single stray feather could be seen.

It was flapping its wings as it slowly flew over the center of Jinlin City. Its claws were huge, and a leather net was hanging below it.

Inside the leather net, four people were tightly bound. They seemed to have their minds imprisoned, and were completely powerless in the face of the net, only able to be twisted like chicks.

The four people were pushed together, making it impossible to see their faces, but judging from their clothes and hairstyles, they looked exactly like Mu Ningxue, Zhao Manyan, Mu Nujiao, and Bai Tingting!

Yunhua stared at the scene in surprise, then turned to look at Mu Ningxue and the others beside her, not understanding what had happened.

"What's going on? Are you two twins?!"

"How could that be!" Mu Nujiao was the first to deny it. "It must be Lu Nian who hired someone to impersonate us. Anyone who gets a little closer will definitely be able to spot the flaws."

"But they fly in the sky, how could we possibly get close!"

"What do you think Mo Fan will do if he sees this?" Bai Tingting suddenly asked.

"He'll definitely think you've been captured." Yunhua understood Lu Nian's plan; they were trying to make it look real!

At this moment, Yunhua suddenly realized that it might be the inspiration he had given Lu Nian by using the dummy earlier.

"We need to inform Mo Fan immediately!"

"What should we do? We just went through a battle, and the magical fluctuations here are so chaotic that our phones are completely unusable."

"Perhaps we don't need to come up with a solution," Yunhua suddenly said. "Our helpers have already arrived."

A pair of wind-like wings slowly appeared under the blue sky, and a man wearing a military robe with a different pattern flapped his wings and flew towards them.

The man was handsome with a noticeable stubble. Even with his collar turned up, a very prominent scar could still be seen extending from his neck to his chest.

Accompanying them were two mages, dressed in different uniforms and without wings of wind, riding eagles the same size as Lu Nian.

"Lu Nian, you have committed heinous crimes! Release these students!" The man with the wings of wind approached the enormous eagle and roared angrily.

Standing on the back of the eagle, Lu Nian spotted the bearded man riding the wings of wind.

Slash through the air?

As for the others, Lu Nian recognized that they were from the Dongting Lake Magic Association and the nearby Biyi Military Region. But wasn't Zhan Kong in charge of the Southern Military Region? Why would he come to the Dongting Lake Plain to meddle in this matter?
