The Magic Apprentice: My Cells Have Mutated

After walking more than a kilometer, Chu He saw that there were no surveillance cameras nearby, so he hailed a taxi and returned to the city.

He looked behind him when he got into the taxi, as expected, Bruce and Alice did not follow.

“It seems my strength has subdued these two.”

Chu He smiled. He had really fooled these two people by disguising himself as a powerful mage.

Chu He had gained a lot this time on this trip to the chip factory. When he first came to the factory, absorbing the black magic power had increased his mutated cells by a hundred.

After killing the Ember Demon, his mutated cells increased by another thousand.

Completing the system quest also rewarded him with a Superman cell.

The boost that this Superman cell gave Chu He was strength.

At that instant, Chu He clearly felt his strength increasing greatly.

All the special cells provided the most evident buff when it was the first one of its kind.

Just this Superman cell raised Chu He’s strength by three times as before.

Right now, he could probably throw out punches with 250kg of force.

If it was an ordinary person, they would not be able to withstand the power of his punch.

And this world was full of mages.

There was the exception of a small number of mages who trained in the aspect of using magic power to enhance their physical bodies.

Excluding these people, none of the other mages should be able to defeat him in close combat.

Chu He felt that his physical fitness was still very important.

If his physical fitness was not good enough, he might die before he could use his magic when he gets attacked by demonic creatures.

Chu He thought for a moment and opened his attribute menu.

[Chu He]

[Special Cell: 1 Superman Cell (+)]

[Elemental Cell: 10 Fire Cells (+)]

[Mutated Cells: 1461]

Behind the fire cell column, the plus sign appeared again.

Just as he had thought, the disappearance of the plus sign was only because he had insufficient mutated cells.

Now that the number of mutated cells was sufficient, he could press the button again, and the number of fire cells could continue to increase.

“How many mutated cells do I need to add one fire cell now?”

Chu He immediately willed.

The number of fire cells instantly increased from ten to eleven.

The number of mutated cells dropped by a thousand.

“I actually need a thousand of them!” Chu He was somewhat surprised.

All the mutated cells that he had obtained from killing the Ember Demon could only add one more fire cell!

But even so, Chu He felt that it was well worth the investment.

His control over fire had improved significantly.

If he had possessed his current strength half an hour ago, dealing with the Ember Demon would have been much easier.

At the very least, he would not tire himself out.

The remaining mutated cells were all used by Chu He to add more Superman cells.

The Superman cells also went from one to five.

Endurance was also a part of one’s strength. The improvement of one’s physique could bring about an even stronger vitality, greatly reducing the risk that one would have to take when battling demonic creatures.

Not only did the Superman cells increase his strength, but they also increased his physical defense.

Now, Chu He’s skin had become extremely tough.

An ordinary knife could not pierce his skin.

This was a significant improvement.

If there were enough Superman cells, even bullets would not be able to penetrate his body.

The next day, Chu He returned to the Andrich Magic Academy.

The demonic creature in the academy had been proven dead, so it was safe to return again.

The reason why the demonic creature was so rampant before was because the powerful mages in the academy had all gone to New York for a magic exchange summit.

The strongest teachers left in the academy were only Advanced Mages.

And that demonic creature was good at hiding, so they never caught it.

Today, the Vice-Dean returned to the academy and used his investigative magic to conduct a thorough search of the entire Andrich Magic Academy.

Therefore, the school was now completely safe now. All students who took leave would return to school immediately.

On the train back, Chu He picked up his phone and browsed the recent news.

The chip factory from yesterday actually appeared in the news.

After all, many workers had seen the 40-meter-tall Flaming Tornado. At this moment, it had already shocked all the residents in the city.

Of course, the result was good.

The victory of a mage over a powerful demonic creature was a huge consolation to the people in this dangerous era.

The videos recorded by those workers had already gone viral on the Internet, and all of them had reached the top of the charts as trending videos.

It could be said that anyone who went online in America had already seen Chu He’s fight with the Ember Demon.

The whole country was guessing who this powerful mage shrouded in flames was, including the San Francisco Magical Investigation Unit.

The leader of the Magical Investigation Unit was called Roosevelt, and he was one of the top Advanced Mages.

His combat ability was unmatched among those of the same level.

This was because he was a mage who had awakened both lightning and dark attributes.

Furthermore, these two attributes were very powerful.

Roosevelt was about forty years old. He was bald, had a face filled with determination, and a fierce gaze.

“Captain, do you think this mysterious expert is from Los Angeles?” Bruce asked curiously.

Ever since he saw Chu He’s battle yesterday, Bruce had been unable to forget him the entire night. He even dreamed that he had become a powerful Fire Mage himself.

“We can’t rule out that possibility.”

“Captain, even you don’t know him?” Alice asked.

She felt that Chu He’s voice was somewhat familiar, he should be a famous mage.
