Chapter 58: The End of Bo City Disaster

Outside, cheers erupted!!

«Victory!!»

«We won, the Winged Wolf has fled!»

«We won, the Winged Wolf has fled. Now we just need to drive out the remaining demons from the city, and Bo City will be restored!»

«Master Mages, you are mighty!»

«.»

Upon hearing the noise, Qin Chen immediately stepped out. He saw the bloodied Zhan Kong standing atop the highest lookout tower. Only Qin Chen could tell that Zhan Kong was not satisfied with the outcome of the battle. He had intended to kill the Winged Wolf himself, but it had escaped, leaving him unable to give the citizens of Bo City the justice they deserved.

At that moment, fifty giant white eagles flew in from the distance, signaling that at least fifty mid-level mages had arrived to support Bo City. On top of these eagles, there were surely high-level mages as well; Qin Chen could easily guess this.

The next task was to reclaim Bo City. After a brief deployment, the supporting mages immediately organized the remaining mages to enter Bo City and clear out the demons. Many people were still trapped in the city; the sooner Bo City was reclaimed, the more lives could be saved.

Once his mana was restored, Qin Chen joined the effort to reclaim Bo City. Without the Winged Wolf to worry about, he could act without restraint. As soon as he entered the city, he created a massive disturbance to attract the surrounding demons. He then used plant magic to set up magical vines, eliminating over a hundred servant-level demons within ten minutes, all while conserving a significant amount of mana. His efficiency in killing demons was exceptionally high.

For seven days straight, Qin Chen was engaged in battle and restoring his mana. Whenever his mana was nearly depleted, he would return to a safe zone to recover, only to join the demon-clearing operations again once he was restored. During this campaign, Qin Chen undoubtedly cleared the most demons.

His actions were witnessed by many, earning him great admiration. While others cautiously formed teams to explore and kill demons, Qin Chen boldly entered the city, attracting demons with loud commotion and then annihilating them with his formidable power. Had it been anyone else, they would likely have become demon fodder.

After seven days of rigorous inspection, even the sewers were checked multiple times. Once assured that no demons remained in the city, Bo City was officially declared reclaimed.

«You sure you don't want to consider joining the military?» Zhan Kong invited Qin Chen to join the army again. Given his demon-killing rate, he was a perfect fit for the military.

«Sorry, the military isn't for me. I don't like restrictions and I don't like taking orders from others!» Qin Chen decisively rejected Zhan Kong's offer.

He truly had no desire to be a soldier. The idea of following orders as a soldier's duty was off-putting. If he ever encountered an obnoxious superior, he might not be able to resist taking them down!

«Alright, but remember, the military's doors are always open for you if you ever change your mind.»

Zhan Kong said regretfully. He understood that many geniuses didn't want to be constrained, and being a soldier meant facing restrictions. This was why many talented individuals were reluctant to join the military.

After parting with Zhan Kong, Qin Chen went to see Mu Ningxue. Today, Mu Ningxue was wearing a tight, snow-white dress that showcased her long, slender legs, snowy white skin, and devilish figure. Combined with her exquisite face and silver hair, she looked like a snow princess from a fairy tale, breathtakingly beautiful.

«Are you leaving?» Mu Ningxue asked, her words tinged with reluctance. Since the last ambush, Qin Chen had not seen Mu Ningxue for seven days, as he had been busy fighting demons.

«Yes, I'm going back to the Magic City. Remember to think of me. I'll visit you in the Imperial Capital next time.»

«Muah!»

Seeing Mu Ningxue's stunning beauty, Qin Chen instinctively leaned in and kissed her before she could react. After a minute, feeling her breath quicken, he pulled away from her tempting lips. Seeing the blush on her fair face, he almost couldn't resist kissing her again.

«You…»

Mu Ningxue looked at Qin Chen with shame and anger. This was the second time! If anyone else had dared to do this, she would have frozen them with an ice vine long ago!

«Remember, you are my woman!» Qin Chen said firmly, looking into Mu Ningxue's eyes before turning to leave. He feared that if he didn't leave now, he might follow her to the Imperial Capital.

«Who's your woman!»

After Qin Chen left, Mu Ningxue stubbornly said, but her smiling face showed no sign of refusal.

Sitting on the train to Magic City, Qin Chen began to tally his gains. He had 36 servant-level soul essences, 4 warrior-level soul essences, 76 servant-level condensed soul essences, and 9 warrior-level condensed soul essences. He also had numerous demon corpses in his chaos-colored beads. If he sold all these soul essences, he could make at least one billion, and selling the demon corpses could earn him an additional 30 million. This would total 1.3 billion, enough to buy a Star River vein.

«Killing demons is really profitable!»

Qin Chen couldn't help but exclaim. Especially for someone like him, with high demon-killing efficiency, more mana than others, and faster mana recovery, killing demons was the quickest way to make money. However, opportunities like this were rare. He had to ensure a safe place to recover his mana and no powerful demons nearby, or his life could be at risk.

Not to mention, he used the condensed soul essences to enhance his star son, strengthening his fire-element primary magic to the fifth level. With the enhancement of the Vermilion Bird's flame, it was equivalent to a mid-level fire magic's power, making killing servant-level demons even more efficient.

His space-element primary magic was also enhanced to the fifth level. Strengthening the star son had the added benefit of increasing affinity with the stars, meaning better control over the stars and shorter star chart connection time. This effect could stack with his space-element affinity talent.
