All of France: I'm bound to Mo Fan; I'll always be two levels above him.

Chapter 23 Top-grade lightning-type spirit seed, clean it up and wait for me at the auction house!

…………

"What?! A solo training mission?"

"Why should he?! Did this kid bribe the head instructor?"

"They must be giving him special treatment because he's a lightning-type! That's so unfair!"

Zhan Kong, however, scoffed, "Su Chen is a registered hunter in the Hunter's Alliance, and he even has points. That's enough to prove he's a mage with practical experience. It's unfair to you if a mage with practical experience trains with you!"

"Of course, I have no objection if you're willing to train with Su Chen. But if Su Chen does a lot of work in this training and you don't contribute much, then I'm sorry, your grades will drop, while Su Chen's grades will rise. You'd better think it over carefully," Zhan Kong said nonchalantly.

Just kidding, putting a mid-level hunter into a group of students who know nothing to train is practically the same as a dimensional reduction attack!

"Then let's forget about it..."

"Yeah, I hope it doesn't affect my performance in actual combat..."

Hearing Zhan Kong say this, everyone was shocked that Su Chen was a proper hunter, but they also didn't want their grades to suffer because of Su Chen.

As Mo Fan passed by Su Chen, he glanced at him suspiciously and said in a low voice, "Old Su, what are you up to? You're really not coming with us?"

Su Chen patted Mo Fan on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Fanzi, I'm doing this for your own good. If I go, how will you have a chance to prove yourself? Go, there's plenty of room for you to make a difference!"

Mo Fan rolled his eyes and followed the group away.

After all the students had left, only a few teachers who had led the groups remained on the training ground.

Teacher Tang Yue, dressed in a tight-fitting uniform that perfectly accentuated her stunning figure, and Zhang Jianguo, looking puzzled, quickly walked up to Zhan Kong.

"Commander Zhan Kong," Tang Yue said, her face full of confusion, "what's this special training mission you mentioned? Su Chen is a genius in the lightning element, but he's still a student. Isn't it too dangerous for him to act alone?"

Zhang Jianguo quickly chimed in, "Yes, sir, Su Chen is our school's darling. What if something goes wrong..."

Zhan Kong looked at the two worried teachers and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Danger? You underestimate your precious student."

Zhan Kong turned his head and looked at Su Chen, who was standing not far away, leisurely organizing his backpack. A complex look flashed in his eyes.

"Teacher Tang Yue, Teacher Zhang, some things are supposed to be kept secret, but since you are his homeroom teacher and practical course teacher, it's okay to tell you."

Zhan Kong lowered his voice and said in an extremely solemn tone, "Su Chen is not an ordinary student. He has an official registered identity in the Hunter Alliance."

"Registered as a hunter?" Tang Yue was slightly taken aback, then understood. "It's rare for a lightning mage to register as a hunter in advance, but it's not unheard of..."

"No." Zhan Kong interrupted Tang Yue, saying each word clearly, "He's not a beginner hunter, he's an intermediate hunter."

"What?!"

"That's impossible!"

Zhang Jianguo and Tang Yue exclaimed in surprise almost simultaneously.

Zhang Jianguo was so shocked his jaw almost dropped to the floor, his expression incredibly varied. In all his years of teaching, he had never heard of a high school student obtaining an intermediate hunter badge!

Moreover, Zhang Jianguo is also a hunter, but he is just an ordinary novice hunter, still some distance from becoming an intermediate hunter!

Tang Yue's reaction was even more intriguing. She was not only a teacher at Tianlan High School, but also a member of the mysterious Inquisition. She understood better than Zhang Jianguo what a sixteen or seventeen-year-old intermediate hunter meant!

This means that Su Chen not only possesses cultivation levels far exceeding those of his peers, but also terrifying combat abilities honed through life-and-death battles!

Moreover, the evaluation standard for Su Chen is now a level higher; the rating of an ordinary student is no longer suitable for him.

but……

Tang Yue also had her own little scheme in mind. Su Chen was already a hunter at such a young age, and if given the opportunity, recruiting him into the Inquisition Council might make him a good Inquisitor...

"Now you understand why I didn't let him participate in real combat training, right?" Zhan Kong shrugged. "Putting an experienced intermediate hunter into this group of rookies who can't even cast spells accurately isn't training; it's a dimensional reduction attack!"

"This test is meaningless to him and will only overshadow the other students. So, it's better to give him a break and let him do what he needs to do."

After hearing Zhan Kong's explanation, Zhang Jianguo and Tang Yue remained unsettled for a long time. The way they looked at Su Chen had completely changed. It was no longer the look they had for a genius student, but the look they had for a true kindred spirit, a powerful figure who had already surpassed them on the path of magic.

At this moment, Su Chen had already slung his shoulder bag over his shoulder and strolled over.

"Teacher Tang Yue, Teacher Xue," Su Chen greeted politely. "Well, Boss Zhan Kong has assigned me another task, so I won't be staying at the Snow Peak Mountain Inn. You guys have to work hard and keep an eye on those little brats."

Zhang Jianguo opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that he had no idea how to face this intermediate hunter student. In the end, he could only stammer out, "You...you be careful."

"Don't worry, teacher."

Su Chen waved his hand and turned to walk towards the gate of the post station.

There, a military supply truck that had just finished delivering supplies and was preparing to return to Bocheng city was starting up.

Su Chen nimbly climbed onto the passenger side of the truck, offered a cigarette to the driver, the military mages, and said with a grin, "Brother, going back to the city, right? Give me a ride."

With a roar, the truck drove away from Xuefeng Mountain Station and sped towards the bustling city of Bocheng.

Su Chen leaned back in the passenger seat, watching the scenery rushing past the window, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Finally, I'm free from this tedious training."

He took out his phone and skillfully opened the ticket purchasing app.

The finger swiped quickly across the screen, entering the departure point and destination.

[Bocheng - Shanghai]

[High-speed train, business class, payment successful.]

Seeing the successful ticket purchase notification pop up on his phone screen, Su Chen's eyes shone with an unprecedented brightness.

"Thirty-five million in cash, a mid-level first-tier cultivation level, and my heaven-defying system..."

"Shanghai, the most prosperous and resource-rich magical capital in the country, I, Su Chen, have arrived!"

"A top-grade lightning-type spirit seed, cleaned up and waiting for me at the auction house!"
