Chapter 36

"Still... not yet." Mo Fan replied.

Let fate take its course. If his judgment was so poor, he should have chosen the reliable Teacher Tang Yue to help him answer this question; it would be his own fault!

"This pendant of yours is also a stardust magic tool." Finally, Teacher Tang Yue spoke.

"Uh-huh." Mo Fan listened attentively.

"But, it is different from the normal stardust magic tools we see. It is a growth-type stardust magic tool." Teacher Tang Yue said with a sharp gaze.

"Growth-type stardust magic tool???" Mo Fan had never heard of this concept. If you talked about gemstones that could be embedded to add attributes, he could understand that better, having played so many online games...

"This type of stardust magic tool can be a peerless treasure in the world because, besides having the same functions as other stardust magic tools, it also has the ability to grow. It can absorb the magic soul energy from other stardust magic tools to enhance itself. When it absorbs enough energy from other stardust magic tools, it might even grow to the Spirit level!" Teacher Tang Yue said to Mo Fan, word by word, very seriously.

After hearing these words, Mo Fan's heart was instantly stirred up with waves of emotion!!

A stardust magic tool that can grow???

An ordinary stardust magic tool was already considered a treasure by schools and families. Even outstanding students had to take turns using it, which was enough to show how precious and rare it was.

And a Spirit-level stardust magic tool had twice the efficacy of an ordinary stardust magic tool. Mu Bai had said that there were only a few in the entire Bocheng, and the only known one was on Mu Ningxue.

No need to guess, that was probably the Mu family's most valuable treasure!

His little loach pendant actually had the ability to grow to that level.

This... this...

Mo Fan roughly guessed that this might be a very powerful thing, but he never expected it to be so powerful!!!

完蛋！

完蛋！

Such a treasure, even a person with the best intentions might be tempted to kill for it.

Those people said that mages fighting over treasures was a common occurrence!

He was just a small mage. If Teacher Tang Yue had any ulterior motives... tomorrow's news would really be "A talented student at the Natural Magic High School jumps from the rooftop due to excessive pressure."

"Teacher Tang Yue, I think I, a small mage, can't handle such a valuable thing. I should give it to Teacher Tang Yue for research..." Mo Fan, not a fool, immediately said with a serious face.

Even though Teacher Tang Yue looked like a very upright teacher, human nature was too unpredictable. Mo Fan wasn't naive enough to think that a beautiful teacher must be a good person.

"Ha ha~" Tang Yue was amused by Mo Fan's words, laughing beautifully and charmingly.

Mo Fan was taken aback, not knowing what had made Tang Yue laugh so much.

"Mo Fan, on the day of the annual assessment, you spoke out so righteously against Mu Zhuoyun, who was oppressing your small family. I thought you were a man of iron will. I even considered whether to confiscate this special treasure of yours, as it's not something a small mage like you can handle. But I didn't expect you to be so spineless and hand it over yourself. It really changed my impression of you completely." Teacher Tang Yue said, smiling like a peach blossom.

Mo Fan smiled awkwardly.

What's the value of backbone? Life is more important.

Cursing Mu Zhuoyun, Mo Fan knew the consequences.

In this society, one can't be so naive and foolish, whether in a scientific society or a magical one.

Being mature early, what's wrong with that!

"Then, Teacher Tang Yue, what do you plan to do with this thing?" Mo Fan asked.

"Alright, I know you're a thousand times reluctant to part with it. It's also good that you told me about this. If you had told any other teacher, they might have done something detrimental to you for their own glory." Tang Yue put away her smile and said very seriously.

Mo Fan's eyes lit up. It seemed he had made the right choice. This Teacher Tang Yue was indeed different from those seemingly upright but actually unknown magic teachers.

"First, it's a growth-type stardust magic tool, so don't tell anyone... I think with your intelligence, you won't tell anyone else. Second, it's not that I'm not interested in your growth stardust magic tool, but this growth stardust magic tool of yours is somewhat special. It seems to have an unbreakable soul connection with you." Teacher Tang Yue warned Mo Fan seriously.

What, this thing is also a bound equipment?

Mo Fan was really surprised. No wonder every time he tried to take off the little loach pendant, he felt a strange resistance.

"Lastly, for a growth magic tool to grow, it requires essence souls and other stardust magic tools as the cost. It's currently just an ordinary stardust magic tool. Although it has the ability to grow, whether it can truly grow is uncertain. Or, the resources needed for growth might be even more than those required for a Spirit-level stardust magic tool. In that case, your family heirloom would be no different from a useless tool." Tang Yue said.

Mo Fan nodded, thinking for a moment, and said, "Teacher Tang Yue, what is an essence soul?"

"When a demon dies, its soul leaves the body. This disembodied soul is actually the soul after death. If the soul remains in the body for a while after the demon's death and emits a special soul light, then this post-death soul is dozens of times more refined than an ordinary soul, called an essence soul. Essence souls are the most important material for refining stardust magic tools." Tang Yue, being a teacher, answered so fluently and calmly that Mo Fan almost felt the urge to take notes.

"In other words, the best way to make it grow is to collect essence souls... Alright, I need to quickly improve my strength, kill more demons, and collect essence souls!" Mo Fan said with enthusiasm.

"Uh-huh." Tang Yue nodded and added casually, "Go ahead and collect them, but remember to send me your location on WeChat before you die. I'll come to recover your bones and this growth magic tool from the demon's belly."

Mo Fan's mouth twitched, not knowing how to respond.

"Give me the stardust magic tool you broke at school. I'll help you sort this out. This is my personal help, so consider it a favor you owe me." Teacher Tang Yue stopped joking and said seriously.

"Thank you very much, Teacher Tang Yue. If there's anything you need in the future, just let me know!" Mo Fan said.

Indeed, calling Teacher Tang Yue was the right choice. She helped him solve his most headache-inducing problem.

As long as he wasn't expelled from school, and... and the little loach pendant gained the ability of a stardust magic tool, it meant he could permanently keep it!

This was so refreshing!

Others, like Mu Bai and Xu Zhaoting, could only use stardust magic tools for a month at most. Even Yu Ang, who wanted to duel him, could only use one for about half a year. But he could use it all year round, which meant his cultivation would far surpass theirs!!!

He couldn't resist wanting to kiss the little loach pendant!
