Chapter 12 - The Enemy is Here

Until now, Xu Tianci till wasn't sure if he was the one who'd destroyed the spatial crack.

The timing didn't match at all.

Didn't they say that once the core of the spatial rift was destroyed, it would take about 30 minutes for the space to start collapsing?

He had just killed the skeletal general when the space started to collapse.

If not for his wind escape technique, he really wouldn't have been able to escape.

Now that he thought about it, he still had some lingering fear.

As for the olive branch thrown by the city lord...

Xu Tianci didn't intend to be too closely tied to it.

After all, the power struggle between the upper echelons could happen at any time.

If he were to get involved, he might not even know how he died.

"There's really something I need to ask," he said shyly.

City Lord Zhou Jianmin was overjoyed. "Say it. There's nothing I can't do in Cloud City." 

"City Lord, I'm sure you know that I have a younger sister!"

Zhou Jianmin nodded.

"She's still a third-class civilian, "Xu Tianci continued. "I was wondering if I could help her raise her status."

Just this?

He actually had the nerve to ask for such a trivial matter?

Zhou Jianmin was stunned.

However, when he thought of his promise, he patted his chest and agreed.

After that, no matter what Zhou Jianmin did, Xu Tianci didn't make any more requests.

Helplessly, Zhou Jianmin could only throw out his second chip.

"Brother Xu, you've broken the record for destroying an E-rank spatial rift in the shortest time possible in Cloud City."

"On behalf of Cloud City, I will reward you 1.5 million magic coins as an encouragement!

"Of course, you have to work hard in your cultivation. I look forward to you becoming the youngest dual-element mage in Cloud City."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Xu Tianci walked out of the city Lord's mansion with one million and five hundred thousand magic coins and Xiao Yu's proof of identity as a nobleman.

All of this was simply too dreamy.

Yesterday, he was still thinking about how to help Xiaoyu level up.

He didn't expect that after completing a mission, the matter of his identity and rank would be settled.

He still had to have strength!

Only by being strong would one be able to control their fate.

He looked at the cooldown time of the system punishment. There was less than half an hour left.

During this time, he could go to the government Hall to collect his reward.

As long as the punishment ended, he would be able to upgrade all his magic elements to the mage realm.

He received the reward for destroying the spatial rift.

Xu Tianci had 1.51 million magic coins and 10 E-rank magic cores in his hands.

He walked to an empty corner.

The moment the punishment ended, Xu Tianci immediately exchanged for 88 E-rank magic cores.

[Ding! Host has used an E-rank magic core. Metal element magic has been upgraded to beginner mage.]

Seven system notifications rang out in a row.

Xu Tianci pulled up his attribute panel.

[Host: Xu Tianci]

[Physical fitness: Normal]

[Realm: Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, light, dark, Beginner Necromancer]

[Elemental ability: All-elemental affinity, E-rank]

[Spells:]

[Water element: D-rank Water Curtain Spell]

[Dark element: D-rank Shadow Technique, C-rank Black Demon Spike]

[Light-Type: E-rank Light Healing ]

[Fire-Type: E-rank Fireball ]

[Wind-Type: E-rank Wind Escape Technique]

[Undead Element: E-rank Undead Summoning ]

[Weapon: Blazing magic sword]

Looking at his gorgeous stats window, Xu Tianci was filled with pride.

In just two days, he had not only become a mage of noble status, but he had also become a high-ranking mage.

He had also helped his sister solve the problem of her status.

All he had to do next was to get rid of the Liu brothers.

He and Xiaoyu would be able to live a peaceful life.

Just as Xu Tianci was fantasizing about the future, the system's voice rang in his ear.

[Ding! Achievement mission completed]

[Activated title: All-attribute magician]

[Title bonus: Beginner mage level +2. Must be equipped (title can not be worn repeatedly)]

[Reward: Arcane fruit +2, Effect: 100% chance of activating the user's magic talent (tradable)]

[Ding! The host's magic level has reached the standard. The system store has been fully activated.]

"Wear it! Wear it!"

Title change.

Xu Tianci saw that all his spells had leveled up again.

This was especially so for the black demon spike, which had reached the terrifying B-rank.

What was the concept of B-rank? that was a skill that only a Magister could use!

Suddenly, a B-rank spell appeared.

It was exciting just thinking about it.

This was simply a divine tool to trick people!

Xu Tianci called up the system store to see what good stuff he could get.

But the next second, he wanted to curse again.

If an E-rank magic core cost 10000 magic coins, he could still reluctantly accept it.

However, why the hell did a D-rank magic core cost 10 magic coins?

The black-hearted system actually increased by 10 times.

Wasn't this asking for his life?

The rest of the items in the mall looked all high-end and classy.

However, the price of millions or tens of millions of magic coins really gave Xue Tianci a headache.

He looked at the pitiful 930000 magic coins in his wallet.

Xu Tianci endured the pain and spent 900000 coins to upgrade his light therapy, wind escape, and fireball to D-rank.

"Forget it, money is meant to be spent. We can transfer it to her when we run out. Let's go buy a phone for Xiaoyu!"

With tears in his eyes, Xu Tianci walked toward times mall.

It was not that he did not want to go to the Guild of Magic to upgrade his certification level.

However, being too high-profile was not in his character.

What if the fact that he was a full-attribute mage was discovered by someone?

He was about to face a huge disaster, and that was not what he wanted to see.

...

His wallet was empty again, and he walked home.

He had no choice but to leave!

Just as he bought the phone, the system deducted the last 100 magic coins he had.

"I wonder how happy Xiaoyu will be when she sees a newbie opportunity!"

Just as Xu Tianci was thinking about Xiaoyu's surprised expression...

He saw a luxurious metal war chariot parked at the entrance of his own alley in the slums.

At the entrance of the alley, a group of young people were curiously watching.

"This is the T112 multi-purpose alloy combat vehicle. I heard that it costs 80 million French coins!

80 million! Oh my God, I'm afraid it'll fill up a room!

"Only the super-rich can afford this kind of tank!"

"Why would such a big shot come to our place? Don't tell me you've taken a fancy to some aristocrat's young lady?"

"I don't know. The alley has been sealed off. I'm not allowed to go home even if I want to!"

Xu Tianci stood at the edge of the crowd.

This kind of thing.

He had seen it many times on earth in his previous life.

Anyway, Xiaoyu should not be back at this time.

Since he had nothing to do for the time being, he simply watched the show.

A moment later, three people walked out.

The one walking in front was a middle-aged man with his hair combed back and his nose covered.

He looked at the disgust in his eyes.

It was obvious that he was disgusted by the unpleasant smell in the air.

Behind him were two modified warriors in alloy armor.

The moment he saw the middle-aged man, Xu Tianci's pupils contracted, and they were full of murderous intent.

He had seen this person before on earth.

He was the housekeeper of the Liu family.

That person had beaten him up several times.

They also tried their best to prevent him from investigating the person he really wanted.

Could it be...

Oh no, Xiaoyu was in danger!
