Chapter 72. With a cheat code, one shouldn't bite off more than one can chew.
Although Mu Ningxue was extremely weak at this moment, like a delicate flower swaying in a storm, her consciousness was like a stubborn beacon, not swallowed by the exhausting darkness, and she remained clear-headed.
Her beautiful eyes watched silently as Mo Fan fought against the rebellious mage guards. The thrilling battle scene was etched into her mind like a brand.
Like Jiang Yi and the others, Mu Ningxue's heart was filled with disbelief at this moment.
She could hardly believe her eyes; a mage who was merely at the mid-level had displayed such astonishing strength.
Six magic systems?
This is simply unheard of. In the world of magicians, being born with two elements is already as rare and outrageous as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, but Mo Fan, is he born with three elements? This is beyond the realm of common sense.
He was only at the intermediate level, yet he had already surpassed the high-ranking forbidden spellcasters in terms of the number of magic users.
For a mage, each additional magic type is like adding a powerful weapon to their arsenal, which means gaining more strength.
However, mastering all the magic systems is no easy task; its difficulty is akin to climbing a towering, steep, and treacherous mountain.
In terms of cultivation alone, it requires several times more time and effort than others, and only those who have truly experienced it can understand the hardships involved.
As for Mo Fan's curse and mind magic, although the specific strengths of these two magic types were not yet apparent from the battle just now, the fact that both of them had reached the mid-level was already astonishing!
Keep in mind, he was just a young man in his early twenties, the same age as her.
At an age when most mages are still struggling to improve their skills in just one magic system, Mo Fan has already achieved such astonishing accomplishments in multiple magic systems—it's simply an unimaginable miracle.
"Hey, what are you spacing out for? Are you out of your mind?" At this moment, Mo Fan walked over and naturally picked up Mu Ningxue.
Mu Ningxue snapped out of her daze and immediately said, "I can walk by myself."
Mo Fan said, "With your current stamina, we can't go very far. Don't forget, after we deal with them, Lu Nian is waiting for us. Only by returning to Anjie can we truly escape this crisis."
After hearing Mo Fan's words, Mu Ningxue had no choice but to give up struggling.
Mo Fan carried her onto the back of the Silver Moon Wolf.
Although the Silver Moon Wolf didn't like being ridden by anyone other than Mo Fan, it didn't dare to complain since Mo Fan had carried it up.
The Silver Moon Wolf suddenly started running, its speed several times faster than Mo Fan's previous speed.
In this land overrun by demons, it is clearly more appropriate to use it for transportation.
Mu Ningxue felt uncomfortable being held in Mo Fan's arms, but this man had absolutely no sense of boundaries.
"How do you possess so many magical abilities?" Mu Ningxue could only try to distract herself and asked with great curiosity.
"Perhaps it's due to exceptional talent and natural advantages," Mo Fan replied casually.
Although this sounds a bit boastful, it seems undeniably true.
"Six elements... I really don't know how you cultivated them," Mu Ningxue muttered to herself again.
"Just cultivate like that. When resources are scarce, go hunting demons or participate in competitions at the academy... When resources are plentiful, besides eating, drinking, relieving myself, and doing bounty missions, spend the rest of my time cultivating, cultivating..."
It's easy to understand without much thought that Mo Fan's path of cultivation must be fraught with hardship.
However, he already has six magic systems now. If each realm has three magic systems, wouldn't he have nine when he reaches a higher realm?
Although it's unclear how Mo Fan managed to improve so rapidly, as his cultivation level increases, the energy resources required will also become increasingly vast.
Given his current situation, there is a hidden danger: in the end, it is very likely that each department will be unable to reach its full potential.
Of course, it is undeniable that if one were to master all the magic systems, one's strength would be immense.
However, many mages struggle to master even one major magic system throughout their lives, while Mo Fan cultivates all of them simultaneously.
This could consume resources, and in the end, none of them would achieve a satisfactory transformation.
"You should focus your efforts on cultivating one magic type, such as your lightning or fire magic," Mu Ningxue suggested.
"I never would have guessed that you, Miss Mu, had such a controlling nature?" Although Mo Fan understood her good intentions, he couldn't help but tease her.
snort!
Mu Ningxue snorted coldly in her heart, instantly losing the will to persuade Mo Fan any further.
She didn't want to get involved in Mo Fan's affairs at all, not even a little bit!
Mu Ningxue said in a less-than-friendly tone, "I'm just giving you a suggestion. How you do it is your own business."
"You know this is my business," Mo Fan said.
Upon hearing these words again, Mu Ningxue could no longer suppress the resentment she had been holding back.
She turned to look at Mo Fan and said, "Even if there's no possibility between us, you don't have to do this, do you?"
"This has nothing to do with that. I know very well how to walk my own path of cultivation," Mo Fan said.
He has a cheat code, so of course he has to take the "full-time" mage route!
Even if someone possesses multiple magic systems, they may not be able to make each one outstanding.
But he can!
Having a cheat code means having this confidence.
"You… have changed a lot… you're not like the Mo Fan I know anymore." After a long while, Mu Ningxue finally said this.
"Hmm, you've got that much in mind. I am Mo Fan, but I'm no longer the Mo Fan you know," Mo Fan said meaningfully.
Mu Ningxue was puzzled by what Mo Fan meant.
Mo Fan didn't intend to say anything more.
He didn't have Mo Fan's ambiguous appearance; all he possessed was evil.
Ironically, although it's a matter of survival in the cracks, this world cannot tolerate any excessive "justice".
At the top of the pyramid stands evil, and evil can only be punished with evil!
He wasn't as noble as those hunters who "befriended" demons, even in perilous situations where they bravely faced death.
There was no spirit of self-sacrifice like Zhan Kong's, who was willing to sacrifice himself to save the ancient capital.
They lacked Shao Zheng's concern for the country and its people, and their dedication to serving human life was paramount.
In this world, to live a life of integrity and honesty, with nothing to lose.
The result was obviously not good.
He respected them, but felt it was best to pass up the idea of learning from them.
