Chapter 61 The Cursed Beast Frozen in Ice
As Su Ming had predicted, Li Xing did not chase after him. Instead of going back, Su Ming went to the Hunter Alliance.
A team had previously recruited him to obtain Undead Crystals, with a reward still in his hunter account, but Su Ming hadn't yet claimed it.
This amount of money may not be much for a mage, but it is a huge sum for an ordinary person.
Su Ming didn't hesitate and found a hotel to stay in.
For the time being, he will not go back to the rented house to prevent Li Xing from going there to hunt him down.
The rental house is in a somewhat remote location, and the military mages are quite far away. It would be a very unwise choice to start a conflict there.
We'll go back there after we've dealt with Li Xing.
……
In a corner of an old town in the northern part of the outer city of the ancient capital, several black beast demons stood guard outside, while two people sat inside.
Li Xing and Han Bing.
Han Bing's expression was not good at this moment. His attack on that woman had not yielded any good results. Instead, he had lost a cursed beast, which was a great humiliation.
"You're saying Su Ming ran away?" Han Bing said coldly.
Li Xing hurriedly knelt on the ground to explain: "Su Ming is a mid-level mage of both summoning and spatial magic, and he can already cast mid-level spatial magic. His summoned beasts are just like monsters; one of them can fight a dozen Black Beast Demons without being at a disadvantage."
"Summoned beast." Han Bing gritted her teeth, and the cup in her hand shattered with a bang. The shards splashed onto Li Xing's face, cutting his skin, but he didn't dare to say anything. He could only kneel on the spot, not daring to move until Han Bing told him to get up.
"Su Ming, Su Ming, you've grown to this level." Han Bing stood up, looked out the window, and then ordered, "Go and kill the subordinates of the Forget-Me-Not Worm."
"Yes." Li Xing felt like he had been granted a pardon and immediately wanted to leave. Staying with Han Bing was too uncomfortable; he felt like he might die at any moment.
Just as Li Xing stood up, Han Bing called out to him again, which made Li Xing stiffen and feel a little scared.
However, Han Bing's words relieved him.
"Let's not kill them, it's a waste. Let's turn them into Black Beasts to increase our combat power."
"Okay." Li Xing finally relaxed completely after leaving the room, his whole body felt lighter, but his face turned pale.
Even if Han Bing hadn't said it, Li Xing wouldn't have let the teacher of the Forget-Heart Worm go. Turning him into a Black Beast Demon was the cruelest punishment in the Black Church, and Li Xing was preparing to use this person to establish his authority in the ancient capital.
……
The next morning, Su Ming returned to the ancient capital academy. He planned to tell the academy teachers about the Black Vatican's attack on him, even though it might not be of any use. Su Ming didn't expect the academy to step in and solve the Black Vatican problem.
However, it's better to inform them first, to prevent others from being harmed by the Black Vatican.
Li Xing wasn't the only one in the Black Vatican; he had no reason to hate him, but the others did.
Walking on the road in the new campus, you can clearly feel the restlessness of the other students, who are all excitedly heading towards one place.
Su Ming, puzzled, stopped one of the students and asked, "What's going on here? Why are you all so excited?"
"Holy crap!" The student's expression changed, and he took a step back, speechless.
Why did they have to stop him out of all these people, and it was Su Ming, this god, who was stopping him?
"There's an ice sculpture over there on the playground. I heard from professionals that it's the symbolic creature of the Black Vatican. I've never seen anyone from the Black Vatican before, so I have to go see what their symbol is," the student said.
The iconic creature of the Black Vatican!
Black Beast Demon.
It can only be this thing. There's a frozen black monster on the playground.
Su Ming became interested and quickly followed the group to the training ground, which was now packed with students taking pictures. It was the first time they had ever seen the iconic creature of the Black Vatican.
Su Ming initially thought it was a black beast demon, but he didn't expect it to be a cursed beast demon. It's no ordinary mage who can freeze this thing.
The cursed beast's body was enormous, visible from a great distance; a human's height barely reached its thighs, and its upper body was visible.
The cursed beast was still in an attack stance, clearly frozen during the battle.
"Even the ancient capital's academy is no longer safe," someone behind Su Ming remarked.
"These guys are really bold, daring to come to the Ancient Capital Academy to find students. This is troublesome. We need to be more careful when walking at night in the future. This thing is a cursed beast, a warrior-level monster. If we encounter it alone, we're sure to die."
"The person who can freeze a warrior-level creature is no ordinary person. Mu Bai and Mu Qianjin, both ice-type, are quite powerful. Which one of them do you think did it? Or were they working together?"
"No, Mu Bai and Mu Qianjin are both very powerful, but everyone has seen their ice-type abilities. I don't think they can freeze a warrior-level creature. It's more likely that it was the teacher who did it."
The people behind Su Ming were all mid-level mages. In order to show their uniqueness, they did not squeeze to the front like the beginner students, but instead analyzed from the outside.
Su Ming thought their analysis made a lot of sense. He had just fought the Cursed Beast Demon yesterday and knew its strength, so it was quite likely that his teacher had made it.
but……
Why was Li Xing able to find him?
Su Ming felt a sharp pain in his heart, and then realized that someone was staring at him, which reminded him of the Forget-Me-Not Worm.
The Forget-Me-Not Worm was something I encountered at the hospital before, and Mu Qianjin also had it.
If he was found based on the Forget-Heart Worm, then Mu Qianjin would definitely be found as well. Under normal circumstances, Mu Qianjin would not be able to freeze the cursed beast.
But she possessed a divine weapon.
Although she said that using the Ice Crystal Bow would cause serious damage to her body, she would still choose to use it as a last resort. The Ice Crystal Bow could completely freeze a cursed beast of warrior level to death.
Go see your teacher.
The frozen cursed beast wasn't much to see, so Su Ming went to the principal's office. The old principal said he was on vacation, but Su Ming didn't know any of the other teachers, not even the head of the Summoning Department, and didn't know where their office was upstairs. After thinking it over, he decided it was better to come to the principal's office, hoping someone would be there.
Out of politeness, Su Ming knocked on the door twice before pushing it open and going in.
As soon as he entered, several pairs of eyes were fixed on Su Ming. The immense pressure made him frown, but this pressure quickly disappeared.
A disheveled man sat in a chair in the principal's office, his feet propped up on the desk, his face gloomy and extremely unhappy.
The few people standing beside him, looking extremely nervous, were people he had never seen before.
Han Ji, whom Su Ming had met once before, was sitting on the sofa pouring tea. When he saw Su Ming arrive, he beckoned to him, "Want to come and have some?"
Su Ming glanced around and saw that the disheveled one was Mu Qiannian. Mu Qianjin was also there, sitting quietly in the corner without saying a word. Han Ji was making tea, and the other people, who looked like teachers, were standing opposite Han Ji.
