Chapter 3 Special Events
"You encounter a special event in the old town. You choose..."

"Option 1. Sneak in and find out what's going on"

"Option 2. Walk in with brazenness"

"Option 3. We can't stay here for long, let's get out of here"

"Choose three."

The system quickly found the right opportunity to jump out. Xu Mu chose number three without any hesitation and left the place without looking back.

He is just a rookie who has just learned how to cast magic. He cannot defeat the monsters he encounters. So he should just focus on developing himself instead of getting involved in everything.

There are minions of the Black Church hiding inside Bo City. If he doesn't behave himself, what if he is targeted by the Black Church and captured and turned into a black beast?
The face of a ghost monkey, the body of a freak, all black, extremely ugly...

When Xu Mu thought of the description of the black beast in the original book, his scalp tingled and he quickened his pace to leave.

"You choose to leave the old city, and you will get a magic tool!"

Magical Footwear: Shadow Boots

Quality: Ordinary (Quality: Ordinary, Spirit, Soul, Heaven, same as elemental species)
Skill: Shadow-Void
……

On the other side, the moonlight was hazy.

The moonlight shone into the abandoned unfinished building. A middle-aged man in a dark blue shirt fixed his eyes on several bodies that had just died.

There were also a few remains of deformed humans with pitch-black bodies nearby, ghost monkey faces, deformed bodies, pitch-black bodies, and skin so tightly wrinkled as if they were wearing a tights.

Upon closer inspection, isn't this ugly creature exactly the black beast controlled by the members of the Black Church?
"What's the situation?" the middle-aged man asked his subordinate beside him.

"We are too late. When we arrived, the Holy Earth Spring had already been moved away by the Black Church, and only these few people were left to hold us back."

"Can you find the trace of the Holy Spring?" Yang Zuohe asked with a frown.

"It's unlikely. The Black Church has an insider in Bo City. Their people have disappeared with the Holy Spring. If we want to find the Holy Spring, we have to search the entire city."

After hearing this, Yang Zuohe frowned, rubbed his temples, and seemed a little anxious.

Searching the entire city is obviously not feasible, it is time-consuming, labor-intensive and thankless. Not to mention whether the Holy Spring can be found, even if it can be found, the aristocratic families and the military will not agree to the search. However, he is not willing to give up the Holy Spring easily.

"It's my fault." Yang Zuohe sighed. It was his negligence that allowed the Black Church to take advantage of the opportunity to steal the Holy Spring.

He had never expected that the Black Church would dare to steal the Holy Spring right under his nose.

Although the amount of the stolen Holy Earth Spring is limited, at most it can allow an advanced one-eyed demon wolf to advance into a Bone Spike Wolf.

However, even if it was just a single Bone-Spurred Wolf, it would be enough to cause great trouble to them and the city of Bo.

"I have to trouble the commander-in-chief again."

“The Holy Earth Spring isn’t some rare treasure, so why would the Black Church go to so much trouble to steal the water?” Yang Zuohe murmured.

No matter how hard he thought, he could not figure out why the Black Church would steal the Holy Spring.

In his opinion, the Holy Earth Spring is just an ordinary treasure that can help a beginner magician break through to the intermediate level.

This kind of treasure is only useful for beginner mages and there are plenty of them in big cities.

If the purpose was just to break through to the intermediate level, why did the Black Church spend so much effort to steal the Holy Spring?
He couldn't figure it out, or rather, no one except the Black Vatican knew why they wanted to steal the Holy Spring.

……

"Shadow Escape, I remember it seems to be a shadow skill, which can shuttle between shadows." Xu Mu returned home and looked at the magic shoes he got.

The Shadow Boots are made from the fur of the shadow demon "Shadow Demon" and are engraved with Shadow Runes. Wearing them can give the mage the ability to travel through the shadows.

It was like getting a Shadow skill for free. "Just right, I'm missing a displacement skill." Xu Mu touched his chin and said with narrowed eyes.

What the system gave him was just right for him.

The lightning element has been cultivated to level one, and with the three-fold increase in basic magic power, the damage is higher than level two magic.

At present, he has no shortage of means of attack, but lacks a displacement or defense skill.

The Shadow Boots given by the system just made up for his shortcomings and provided him with powerful mobility.

……

……

A semester passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Bo entered the cold winter, and pedestrians on the streets put on coats.

The temperature in the south in winter is not particularly cold, but due to the humidity, it is not bearable for ordinary people.

Magic damage, so horrible.

Xu Mu sneezed, sniffed his nose, wrapped his thick down jacket tightly around him, and shivered.

Since the awakening of magic, under the baptism of stardust, the physical fitness will be improved to a certain extent, and the initial stage is equivalent to the level of top athletes in the previous life.

Despite the improvement, he would still be frozen like a stupid dog by the severe cold magic attacks unique to the south.

Suddenly I feel a little envious of the mages who have awakened ice or fire magic. It’s great to have built-in ice resistance.

When I arrived at the classroom, the class had not started yet.

The classmates in the class were all chatting about how many stars so and so controlled this month and when they would be able to learn to cast magic.

Classes at Magic High School start at 8 o'clock sharp. Since the content of the college entrance examination is different, the courses are relatively easy.

"Muzi, you have awakened the lightning element. How is Xingzi's control?" Mo Fan asked as he came over.

"It's okay, I've already got five." Xu Mu said with a yawn.

I was able to cast magic three months ago, and you ask me how it's going? I'll scare you to death if I tell you.

“Five…slower than me.” Mo Fan muttered quietly. He already controlled six stars and could cast magic very quickly. His speed was much faster than that of his classmates.

Mo Fan was born with two magic systems. He initially awakened two magic systems, one for lightning and the other for fire.

Because he hid it very well, no one knew that Mo Fan was not only a fire mage but also a lightning mage. Of course, Xu Mu, the time traveler, was not included.

Xu Mu glanced at Mo Fan who was muttering to himself. This guy's hiding ability was really strong. He had been hiding his lightning ability for three years before it erupted.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't defeat Yu Ang without using the Lightning Element, he doubted that Mo Fan could have kept the Lightning Element hidden until the National Government Competition.

"Come to think of it, the system hasn't appeared during this period of time. It should appear after the winter vacation, right?" Xu Mu murmured in his heart.

The system would only appear when he encountered a major event. The last major event was when he ran into the Magic Association in the old city.

Since that time, he has never encountered any major events, and there has been no chance for the system to appear.

Winter vacation is a big deal, and I don’t know if the system will appear.

Soon the teacher came.

The first class was a demon class, where the head teacher of the next class taught them about the one-eyed demon wolf.

The One-eyed Demon Wolf is a type of demon that lives in the area around Bo City. They tend to live in groups and have quite powerful combat abilities.
