Chapter 76 Control

"The woman and the monk I saw in that space, were they also victims?" Xu Mu continued to ask.

"That's right." Dean Xiao nodded slightly.

"That woman should be Qin Yu'er, the Ice Element victim from a few years ago. As for the monk, I'm not sure about his identity."

"I never thought that the water-related destructive power could also appear in humans. This fact surprises me deeply."

After getting the answer from Dean Xiao, Xu Mu can now be sure of his guess!

The woman was Qin Yuer, and the monk was one of the three generals under Saran who was a victim of the water system - the leader Wu Ku!
"So, when I fight with the wolf girl, I am actually fighting for the power of chaos?" Xu Mu asked puzzledly.

"If my judgment is correct, you are indeed competing with her for the power of chaos." Dean Xiao responded affirmatively.

"And you won. Although you were driven out of the space in the end due to insufficient magic energy, you are still the winner. You took away some power of chaos from your opponent. This is the proof of your victory."

"Oh, what bad luck! I thought it was just a simple breakthrough to a higher level, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big trouble." Xu Mu sighed helplessly.

"Although there are constant troubles, now that you are competing with the other party for the power of chaos, you can actually gain some benefits from it." Dean Xiao said with a smile.

"What are the benefits?" Xu Mu asked puzzledly.

Besides strengthening the soul, what other benefits could there be? Could it be that biting each other's necks like the wolf girl could be considered a benefit?

"You should know that no matter it is elementary or intermediate magic, the way it is cast is fixed. Take the intermediate thunderbolt as an example. No matter how you skillfully change the casting method, its essence is still a lightning attack from the sky. This is something that cannot be changed."

Dean Xiao personally took on the role of magic teacher and patiently answered Xu Mu's questions.

“Once they reach a high level, some magicians’ control will be significantly enhanced. They will be able to flexibly change the form of magic, so that thunderbolts that originally could only fall from the sky can also rise from the ground, showing a more diverse range of attack methods.”

"We call this ability to control the change of magic form 'magic control'. Generally speaking, only high-level wizards have enough control to change the form of magic, but there are some special cases, such as..."

Dean Xiao hadn't finished speaking when he caught a glimpse of a purple-red whip suddenly appearing in Xu Mu's hand, which immediately stopped him from speaking.

"President Xiao, what do you think of this?"

Xu Mu was waving a long lightning whip formed by five level five thunder seals in his hand. The whip made crackling sounds when it was swung in the air, and the electric current sizzled in the air, frequently flashing dazzling light.

The powerful force released by the lightning whip is enough to frighten even the general-level demons, forcing them to retreat three steps and not dare to approach easily.

"Why are you so in control?"

Dean Xiao looked at Xu Mu in surprise. He knew that Xu Mu had gained some power of chaos in the process of fighting with the wolf girl for it, and his control would be enhanced. But he didn't expect Xu Mu to improve so quickly.

In just half a day, he mastered the technique of using control to change the form of magic. This speed of progress is astonishing.

"Maybe it's because I'm gifted."

Xu Mu touched his chin. It took him a long time to learn how to change the form of magic. This should be related to the thunder crystal he used when he broke through the intermediate level. That thunder crystal could greatly enhance his control.

Now he has fought for a few more strands of the power of chaos. Although these strands of the power of chaos cannot transform his spirit seed into a soul seed, they can greatly enhance his control.

"Alas, as I get older, my ability to adapt to new things has declined." Dean Xiao took off his glasses and gently wiped them with a tissue.

"If there is nothing else, you can go back. I still have a lot of work to do here." Dean Xiao waved his hand, indicating that he could leave. "Then I won't bother you anymore." Xu Mu nodded slightly, and then left Dean Xiao's office to avoid disturbing him from handling official business.

……

"Although your talent of triple magic power is powerful, it is far from enough to reach the place where the disasters gather, let alone enter that space. I was careless and didn't realize that you still had some reservations."

Dean Xiao stood by the window, looking at Xu Mu walking away downstairs, and sighed in his heart.

It seemed that he was really getting old. A year had passed, but he still hadn't realized that Xu Mu's natural talent was hidden.

Fortunately, Xu Mu is not a heinous person or a person with bad intentions, otherwise, he would be a bit tricky to deal with.

“I don’t know where you will go in the future.”

Dean Xiao watched Xu Mu walk farther and farther away until he disappeared outside the school gate, then he slowly returned to his desk and sat down.

With a slight wave of his hand, he took out a notebook made of the fur of an unknown demon from the storage space.

When I opened the notebook to the eleventh page, I saw four big characters clearly written on it: "The Power of Disaster"

The four characters have gone through vicissitudes of life and have been there for at least fifty years, but they are still as clear as ever.

He picked up a pen and quickly wrote a few lines on the yellowed paper: "The Land of Trouble really exists in the magical world, and the power of trouble is both a power that can be inherited and a focus of competition."

"The records in the ancient books are indeed correct." After Dean Xiao finished writing, he put down the pen in his hand.

……

Qingtian Hunting House!

Xu Mu returned to the hunting ground and ignored the little loli Lingling. He walked straight to the bedroom, fell headfirst on the bed, and prepared to sleep forever.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already late at night on the third day.

"I'm still a little tired, but I can't sleep." Xu Mu rubbed his temples. He was still a little tired after two days of sleep, but this did not affect his practice, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it.

He got up from the bed and walked to the first floor.

"Are you a pig? I called you to get up and eat these days but you didn't even respond." Lingling couldn't help but complain when she saw Xu Mu coming downstairs.

While taking out Lingling's snacks - yogurt and cake - from the refrigerator, Xu Mu asked curiously, "Did you wake me up?" There was some doubt in his tone.

Xu Mu slept so comfortably that he didn't hear Lingling calling him to get up.

Lingling nodded slightly, then looked eagerly at the yogurt in Xu Mu's hand.

She thought Xu Mu was bringing her yogurt and cake, but she saw Xu Mu unceremoniously tear open the yogurt wrapper and drink it as if it was a matter of course. She was so angry that she jumped up and rushed over.

“Put down my yogurt!”
