Late at night, the streets of the island country are still crowded with people, especially near the alleys. In almost every relatively hidden alley, you can see women wearing uniforms such as black stockings "working".
It has to be said that this is indeed one of the characteristics of the island country, and it broadened the horizons of Xu Mu, who had never seen such a scene.
After leaving Yanming Temple, Xu Mu went to a nearby gang gathering place.
He originally planned to invite Mu Ningxue to help him uphold justice and rid the people of harm, but Mu Ningxue declined. Perhaps she was not interested in fighting against gangs.
In this case, he alone can only shoulder the heavy responsibility of eliminating violence and protecting the people.
The scale of Xixiong City is quite impressive, much larger than Asuka City. In addition, the population density of the island country is high. There must be many high-level mages hidden in Xixiong City. As for super-level mages, there are probably none. Even if there are, there won't be too many, probably only one.
All things considered, the threat level is low, the risk level is low, but the benefits are considerable.
The main bases of the island's gangs are mostly located in buildings such as factories.
Although the island nation's mafia organizations are legally recognized, they usually do not set up headquarters or settlements in public areas or densely populated areas in order to avoid attracting unnecessary attention and legal repression.
With the help of a certain translation service, Xu Mu took great pains to finally find a gang gathering place.
Now it's time to use force...
……
……
It was not until the next morning that Xu Mu finally returned to Yanming Temple.
"You're finally back. I haven't seen you all night. Where have you been?" Zhao Manyan asked with a strange smile on his face when he saw Xu Mu.
"Do you think I'm like you, with women on my mind wherever I go?" Xu Mu rolled his eyes.
Then, he seemed to remember something and looked at Zhao Manyan carefully with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"Are you okay?" Xu Mu asked.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Manyan looked at Xu Mu in confusion. He lowered his head to look at his chest, then turned his head to look behind him. There was no wound on his body!
“I’m fine, how could anything happen to me?” Zhao Manyan asked back.
"Strange... This shouldn't be the case."
Xu Mu rubbed his chin. According to the plot, shouldn't Zhao Manyan have entered the vessel world by now? How could this guy still be alive and kicking?
"I say, let's get out of here as soon as possible. This island country is really too weird. The black shadow on the sea is fine, but I actually encountered a female ghost last night!"
Mo Fan walked out of the temple. Although what he described was extremely strange, there was no trace of fear in his tone.
“Female ghost? Can you describe in detail what this female ghost looks like?” Zhao Manyan’s eyes sparkled as he patted Mo Fan’s shoulder with a sly smile on his face.
"Yesterday evening, I fell asleep on the two turtle statues in front of the door, right?" Mo Fan just wanted to find someone to talk about his strange experience yesterday afternoon.
"I know this. You were scolded by a monk." Zhao Manyan nodded to show that he understood.
"Right after that, I saw an extremely beautiful girl. She had a slender figure, was pretty and charming, and had a medicinal fragrance on her body..."
"Ha~"
Xu Mu yawned and felt a little sleepy as he listened. It seemed that Ai Jiangtu and the others were not ready to go to Tokyo immediately. Forget it, he decided to take a rest first.
Walking towards the accommodation allocated to them in the temple, Mo Fan's voice gradually weakened, but with his current strength, he could still hear it clearly.
Even as he lay down, Mo Fan's words were still echoing in his ears.
"You mean, she has no shadow? No physical body, and no one can see her except you and a monk named Narahara Sora?"
"That's right. Jiang Shaoxu asked me to go shopping with her last night. I asked her if she had seen that girl, and she said no. From her tone, she probably wasn't lying."
"It looks a bit weird, and it doesn't look like an undead creature. According to your description, apart from having no entity and shadow, it doesn't seem to pose any other threat?" Zhao Manyan said.
“She probably poses no threat, but she is very interested in my name.” Mo Fan responded.
"What kind of weird rule is this that comes true? Did you tell her your name?" Zhao Manyan asked.
"I'm not stupid, why would I tell her my name?" Mo Fan said.
"Then why are you so anxious to leave this place? It's a rare trip abroad, wouldn't it be nice to travel more? I haven't tried to date an island girl yet." Zhao Manyan said.
"I told the female ghost the names of the others..." Mo Fan answered truthfully.
"My intuition tells me that there is something wrong with that female ghost."
"..."
“Fuck, you’re really worthy of being called that. Whose name did you tell her? You didn’t tell her my name, did you?” Zhao Manyan opened his eyes wide and looked at Mo Fan in disbelief.
"I originally wanted to tell her your name. After all, you are good at defensive magic and you are the strongest in defense. But then I thought, you are just a turtle shell and have no offensive ability at all, so I told her the names of the others." Mo Fan replied.
"That's good, that's good." Zhao Manyan breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Whose name did you tell her?"
"Xu Mu, he is the strongest in the entire team." Mo Fan said.
In a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, Xu Mu vaguely heard Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan mention his name in their conversation, but he was so sleepy that he didn't even have the energy to open his eyes to ask.
To be honest, he didn't understand why he suddenly felt so sleepy.
Originally he was in a very good mental state, but as soon as he stepped into the temple, he felt an inexplicable tiredness, so he decided to take a short rest and restore his spirit.
However, this short nap seemed to gradually turn into a deep sleep. I don't know how long I slept, but a fresh herbal fragrance filled the entire bedroom. At the same time, the temperature in the room was getting lower and lower.
Although it is summer now, the air conditioner is not turned on in the room. In the midsummer season without air conditioning, the temperature in the house suddenly drops sharply, which is really weird.
Xu Mu only felt a slight chill, his eyes still closed. He took out a quilt from the storage space and covered himself with it, then turned over and continued to sleep.
As the coldness grew stronger, Xu Mu became more and more conscious, until a simple girl with a high ponytail walked into the house and found Xu Mu's bedroom under the gaze of several people.
The other members of the team seemed to completely ignore the girl's existence and no one noticed her.
Mo Fan, the only one who could see the girl, was still chatting with Zhao Manyan outside.
The girl walked up to Xu Mu and pointed at him with her little finger. Complex yet extremely familiar lines appeared on her hand. It was obvious that her target was Xu Mu.
As the totem patterns appeared, an extremely ethereal soul slowly emerged from Xu Mu's body.
"A high-level wizard... and a fully-cultivated high-level wizard. In this way, the formation can be completed." The girl whispered to herself, preparing to hook Xu Mu's soul away.
However, the moment her eyes fell on Xu Mu's soul, she was surprised to find that Xu Mu had opened his eyes at some point, and his soul was staring straight at her.
This sight made the girl terrified.
She has seduced countless souls, but has never seen a wizard who can wake up after his soul is seduced. Why can this guy wake up?
She subconsciously wanted to continue to seduce Xu Mu's soul, but Xu Mu did not intend to let her manipulate him. With a thought, he, as a soul, instantly condensed purple-red lightning in his hand. The lightning circled around his hand, and he clenched it into a fist and punched it directly at the girl's face!
Damn it, she's got the soul of him!
Do you really think he is easy to mess with?
Although Xu Mu had been sleeping, he was still able to sense the outside world. He had noticed the girl as early as when she appeared in the room.
However, since the other party did not take any actual action and there were other people in the house, he did not pay much attention to the girl until she sneaked into his bedroom and performed the art of seduction on him, which suddenly woke him up from his sleep.
As soon as he woke up, he was in the state of a soul body. Xu Mu was very familiar with soul bodies. When he first stepped into the land of disaster, he entered in the state of a spiritual body transformed from a wisp of spirit.
There is not much difference between the spiritual body and the soul body in essence. The only difference is that even if the former dies, only the mental power is damaged, while if the latter dies, it will be completely destroyed.
When he opened his eyes, what he saw was a girl in simple clothes. Next to her was a basket full of light yellow chrysanthemums. She looked weak and immature.
For such a beautiful, weak and immature girl, Xu Mu's approach was to immediately use the power of chaos to mobilize the surrounding elements, and then smash the girl's head with one punch!
With a punch, lightning flashed and directly knocked the beautiful girl away!
Without paying attention to the consequences of the attack on the girl, Xu Mu seized the opportunity and quickly returned to his body.
Then, his entire body was covered in purple-red lightning, and he rushed towards the girl with great momentum!
No one knew what material the girl was made of. Her entire body was covered with cracks. She lay quietly in the corner like a piece of glass that was about to break. But even so, she was still alive.
Although the punch he just threw was not particularly powerful, it was enough to easily kill a general-level demon. How could this guy not be dead yet? He could only punch him again!
At this moment, Miyata stared at Xu Mu in shock. He could not understand why this person could wake up from his sleep, and he could not understand why he could cast magic while in soul state, and even the magic could hit him.
But she knew that if she stayed here any longer, she would die.
She stood up in a hurry and slammed into the wall. As a soul, she actually penetrated the wall and escaped to the other side.
Seeing this, Xu Mu didn't even blink and rushed directly towards the wall. Thunder and lightning exploded wildly, instantly destroying the wall into a pile of rubble.
On the other side of the wall was the living room, where many people in the team were. At this moment, their eyes were all cast towards Xu Mu.
"Xu Mu, what do you want to do now?" Captain Ai Jiangtu asked immediately.
But Xu Mu ignored Ai Jiangtu's doubts. He glanced around and quickly found the soul of the girl Miyata.
Miyata was running away, and the direction she was running towards happened to be where Zu Jiming was. I don't know if it was because Zu Jiming looked strong and seemed very strong, or for some other reason, but Miyata actually ran towards him.
Xu Mu was very decisive. Thunder and lightning exploded, and his whole body turned into a purple-red light and rushed towards Miyata.
He had just run one or two steps when he found an extremely solid and invisible wall blocking his way.
This is a wall made of thoughts...
Xu Mu understood that this was Ai Jiangtu's magic. He probably thought that he was going to attack Zu Jiming again, so he tried to stop him.
Unfortunately... the gap in strength between them is too big.
This wall of space didn't even stop him for a second before it was shattered by the lightning on his body. Then he continued to rush towards Miyata.
The space in the living room was limited, and Miyata was fast, so he quickly penetrated another wall and came outside.
Before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, Xu Mu smashed the wall, ran behind her, and grabbed her neck tightly with one hand!
"You are really fast." Xu Mu's voice sounded chillingly in Miyata's ears.
"Why...you can see me too."
Miyata's eyes were wide open. It would be fine if he could see her when he was in the state of fascination, but now that he was not in the state of fascination, how could this man still see her and even catch her?
"I've already used those tricks of yours when I was in high school." Xu Mu was not polite to this man at all. He smashed him hard with his right fist wrapped in lightning.
"Xu Mu, why do you want to attack your teammates again and again?" Ai Jiangtu's roar came from behind.
Everyone walked out from the wreckage of the wall that was smashed by Xu Mu, and everyone had an ugly and angry expression on their face.
Behind that broken wall, Nan Rong Ni can be seen using her healing magic to treat Zu Jiming who was knocked away and injured by him.
This is the training team of the World Academy. Each of them should be a partner to each other. Even if there are many conflicts, they should not break out at this time.
When they walked out, they saw Xu Mu's right hand wrapped in lightning, and he kept punching the air.
"You..." Ai Jiangtu originally wanted to fire Xu Mu, but now, the rest of his words were swallowed back.
He felt that rather than asking the instructor to expel Xu Mu, it might be more important to find a healing wizard to see Xu Mu.
"Is he crazy?" someone asked doubtfully.
"I'm not sure. Should we control him first? There are still many innocent people in the temple. It will be troublesome if he really goes crazy and targets them." said another person.
