Full-Time Magister: Super Mage

Chapter 400 Soul Amplification Potion, the Remnant Soul of the Ancient King

To Jiang Han's surprise, there was a person dressed in black armor sitting on the Blood Throne. He was resting his cheek on one hand, his body slightly tilted, and the shadow cast by the brim of his hat obscured his face. However, by the faint light of the fire on the altar, one could see a sinister smile curving up at the corner of his mouth.

He was leaning against the Blood Throne, as if taking a nap or deep in thought, but he was definitely not an undead.

"Is he the Ancient King?" Zhan Kong murmured.

After feeling the oppressive aura of the person sitting on the Blood Throne, Zhan Kong's forehead gradually became covered with fine beads of sweat.

There's no way around it. If the Ancient King, the strongest mage emperor in China's thousands of years of history, were to be resurrected, it would be a disaster for the ancient capital and even the entire China. No one knows how terrifying the Ancient King's power would be as a reborn being.

He and Jiang Han would be sacrifices after the ancient king awakens. As for escaping, it was impossible. Who could escape from the hands of this magic emperor? Even a forbidden spell mage might not be a match for him.

While Zhan Kong was pondering how to deal with the situation, Jiang Han summoned Xiao Shi to scan the identity of the person on the Blood Throne.

"Little Master, how is it? Has the Ancient King really been resurrected?" Jiang Han asked the little master floating beside him.

"Yes and no, host, you should see for yourself." The junior apprentice then transmitted the scanned data results to Jiang Han.

Name: Fang Gu (Old King)

Status: Possessed by the remnant soul of an ancient king

Cultivation level: Peak of the middle stage (Emperor level)

Magic types: Necromancy, Earth (Mind, Space, Chaos)

"Holy crap, it's that guy Fang Gu. So he's not the Ancient King after all."

"But the strength of this emperor-level expert is really beyond what Zhan Kong and I can handle. After we make our move, we need to find an opportunity to send Chief Instructor Zhan Kong and Mo Fan out."

While pondering his next move, Jiang Han opened the system shop and purchased a Soul Enhancement Potion worth 500,000 system points. After use, it would raise his soul realm to the ninth level, but the effect would only last for two hours. After two hours, his soul realm would fall back to its original level.

If his master hadn't said that the Soul Enhancement Potion would give him a chance to break through to the sixth realm after its effects ended, he wouldn't have bought it under any circumstances.

He only has a little over 500,000 system points right now. Does he even know how many undead he killed in the ancient capital to accumulate that many?

This single act cleared out most of the goods, which was both heartbreaking and painful for Jiang Han!

"I'm surprised how you all managed to escape from the Gate of Death," the person sitting on the Blood Throne suddenly spoke.

This also brought Jiang Han back to his senses. When Fang Gu spoke, he raised his chin, revealing his face hidden in the shadows. His temples were gray, and his thick lips were an eerie dark purple. Purple lines extended from the corners of his mouth to his cheeks, making his mouth look unusually sinister.

"You...you're the guild leader from Weiju Village?" Zhan Kong was stunned for a moment, then recognized Fang Gu's identity.

"What's going on? Why are you sitting here?" Zhan Kong frowned as he looked at Fang Gu on the Blood Throne, while secretly constructing magic. If Fang Gu made a move, he would send Jiang Han out directly.

He could only reach the Super Rank at most in his life, and becoming a Forbidden Curse was too far-fetched for him. But Jiang Han was different. His talent was several times stronger, and he had a great chance of stepping into the Forbidden Curse. Therefore, he said he couldn't let Jiang Han perish here.

"Why can't I be here?" Fang Gu said, then laughed, but the laugh looked strangely eerie.

"What about the Ancient King?" Zhan Kong dared not relax for a moment, fearing that the Ancient King might be hiding in the shadows and suddenly attack them.

"Naturally, it has faded away with the passage of time, but he left behind this armor robe that is stuck to his skin, and this Blood Throne that can command the entire Undead Empire." As he spoke, Fang Gu stroked the armrest of the Blood Throne.

"And I, Fang Gu, will be the one to inherit everything from the ancient king, to become the new king who will rule the undead empire!!!"

As he spoke, Fang Gu burst into laughter. The laughter was so strange; it clearly came from his throat, but it felt as if something was hiding inside his skin, making the laughter in his place.

"He's no longer Fang Gu, but an unlucky guy possessed by the remnant soul of an ancient king," Jiang Han said calmly.

"This is troublesome. I'll hold him off for a bit, and you can take this opportunity to leave. As for Mo Fan and the others, they can only pray for their own good fortune." As he spoke, Zhan Kong burst into flames, and a fiery cloud hundreds of meters long even appeared above his head.

"Ancestor, your unworthy descendant Zu Xingyi begs for your eternal rest!!!"

Flame petals drifted slowly down from the fiery clouds. Under Zhan Kong's control, thousands of flame petals shot straight toward Fang Gu on the Blood Throne. But before the flame petals could get close, a pale white stone wall rose up in front of Fang Gu, and he was shrouded in black mist.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Explosions rang out continuously.

After the flames subsided, Fang Gu reappeared before the two, but his appearance had changed. His eye sockets were unusually empty, as if his pupils had been gouged out, and a ghostly figure could emerge from them at any moment.

Fang Gu slowly stood up from the Blood Throne, but his movements were somewhat stiff and sluggish. At the same time, he exuded a frenzied, bloody stench, like one of the thousands of corrupted undead stored here.

"Blood, I need more blood!" A hoarse voice came from Fang Gu's mouth.

Jiang Han is now certain that Fang Gu is dead. His soul has been devoured by the remnant soul of the Ancient King, turning him into a corpse controlled by that remnant soul.

Fang Gu, dressed in armor, was the first to pounce on Zhan Kong. His arms had long since turned into claws covered in blue hair. The reason he targeted Zhan Kong instead of Jiang Han was mainly because he needed a large amount of his descendants' blood as a sacrifice.
