Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 119: The Battle for the Thunder Galaxy and the Kuiniu Ornament

The Three-Step Tower is located in the main campus of Mingzhu Academy. It is a special magic building built by the ancient sages with great wisdom. It can gather together the free magic elements within a radius of thousands of kilometers. Because of this special function, the Three-Step Tower can be regarded as a super auxiliary prop that can enable magicians to practice.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Three-Step Tower that Mingzhu Academy has become one of the best magic academies in the country.

The precious qualification to practice in the Three-Step Pagoda is basically monopolized by the students of the main campus. The only chance for the students of the Green Campus to enter the Three-Step Pagoda is to get first place in the main campus assessment and be rewarded with seven days of practice in the Three-Step Pagoda.

"Junior, how did you get the opportunity to enter the Three-Step Pagoda?"

While being led into the Three-Step Pagoda by a senior student, the other party seemed to ask unintentionally.

There is nothing to hide. Li Yu felt the vast space in the Three-Step Tower and answered casually:
"I took first place in the main campus assessment and got the chance to enter the Three-Step Tower this time."

"First place in the main campus assessment?"

Li Yu could feel that the senior's originally slightly arrogant attitude had turned into politeness.
"You are truly a genius, you have managed to stand out from the Green Campus. If you enter the main campus and train hard for a year, it shouldn't be a problem for you to enter the top 100 of your college's list."

Li Yu didn't say much, but asked the senior about the origin of the Three-Step Pagoda.

"Oh, the builder of the Three-Step Pagoda was a great sage in ancient times who specialized in earth and specialized in space. There is a mysterious space spell inside the Three-Step Pagoda, and no one has been able to fully decipher it. We can only use it according to the methods left by our predecessors."

"Is it impossible to interpret it?"

Li Yu said in surprise:
"I always thought that our magic development was always moving forward."

The senior laughed.

"Magic is certainly developing forward, but something is always lost in the process. Due to the disconnection of magic history, our modern magic theory seems to be different from the ancient one."

"Not quite the same? What does that mean?"

"I have only heard this question roughly from our magic history teacher. If you want to learn more about this, you can ask Professor Qiu Yuhua at our main campus. He should be the most authoritative professor in the field of magic history research in our college.

Moreover, students are welcome to ask him questions with a curiosity, and freshmen who have just entered the main campus should have a semester of his required course. "

"Professor Qiu Yuhua?"

Li Yu nodded.

"Thank you very much, senior."

"It's just a small problem." The senior student smiled and walked along the road for a few minutes. A series of stairs appeared in front of them, suspended in the dim space. People with acrophobia might feel their legs go weak when stepping on them.

"Brother, the energy on each floor of the Three-Step Pagoda is more than twice that of the floor below. Although this is very tempting, you need to remember that you are only a mid-level mage and can only practice on the first and second floors. Otherwise, you will easily be infused with the huge energy of the Three-Step Pagoda and explode to death."

"Then the third floor and above are for high-level mages to practice?"

"That's right." The senior nodded, "The third floor is basically the training place for the school's instructors. Students like us don't have the ability to go there."

"And the most important point is that the gravity on each floor of the Three-Step Tower is completely different. The superposition of spatial gravity will cause a significant consumption of magic power. If you overestimate your own abilities and enter an area beyond your capabilities, you may faint on the stairs due to exhaustion of magic power. Although your life will not be in danger, the opportunity to practice that you have worked so hard to obtain will be wasted." The senior warned.

"I see. Thank you for your guidance, Senior."

Li Yu thanked him sincerely.

After the senior left, Li Yu secretly felt lucky. Since the first and second floors of the Three-Step Tower were for mid-level mages, he, a high-level mage, should be able to move to higher levels.

Furthermore, spatial gravity might be a big problem for ordinary magicians. Their weak bodies could not withstand excessive gravity, which required them to consume a lot of magic energy to maintain their bodies. His body was much stronger and was less affected by gravity, giving him an advantage over ordinary magicians.

He quickly broke through the first level. On the second level, Li Yu felt a little pressure and the long-lost fatigue appeared in his senses, but it was not a big deal. It was not until the third level that Li Yu realized how terrible the gravity of this space that kept doubling was. Fortunately, there was no one around, so Li Yu simply unlocked the Thunder Galaxy and used the deep thunder magic power to resist it.

As a result, not only did the Thunder Galaxy not show up, but when the Thunder Galaxy began to be used, the surrounding thunder element magic energy rushed into Li Yu's spiritual sea frantically. The concentration of magic elements in the third layer of space was eighty times that of the outside world. Suddenly accepting such a huge infusion of thunder element magic energy, the Thunder Galaxy was like a person who had been hungry for a long time and suddenly saw a large table of Manchu Han banquet for him to enjoy. It accepted everything and greedily devoured all the thunder element magic energy.

Especially the gravity of the third layer, which also promoted Li Yu's spiritual sea to absorb the magic energy of thunder element to a certain extent.

The Thunder Galaxy, which had not been growing at an outrageous rate after entering the high-level stage, had actually recovered to its state at the middle-level stage. If there were other people around Li Yu at this time, they might be shocked to find that lightning was constantly jumping around his body.

"No, this cannot go on."

Li Yu realized that if he continued to allow the Thunder Galaxy to grow, he would most likely not be able to control the strange phenomena around his body when he left. It would be a great loss to hide for so long, only to be banned because of cheating in practice.

Li Yu was just about to give up the temptation brought to him by the third floor and planned to switch back to the Wind Nebula to go to the second floor. Now he could not pursue maximizing profits. The safest thing to do was to pocket the profits steadily.

Just when Li Yu was about to leave the third floor, the Kuiniu ornament that he had been hanging on his waist like a keychain, which had been law-abiding and silent all along and only absorbed his wind and thunder magic energy on time every day when no one was around, suddenly lit up.

As if it was fighting for a job, it competed with the thunder galaxy in Li Yu's spiritual sea for the thunder element in this space. The only difference was that the Kuiniu ornament even began to absorb the wind element as well, operating on two lines, floating in the space and emitting a faint glow.

But no matter what, Li Yu was saved this time by the Kuiniu ornament, which did not let down Li Yu's years of wind and thunder magic energy.

Under the effect of the Kuiniu ornament, Li Yu's spiritual sea maintained its balance, the growth rate of the galaxy began to slow down, and the strange phenomena around the body dissipated. Except that the galaxy in the spiritual sea became a little more active, there were no other major problems.

As long as it's not gone.

The initiative of the Thunder Galaxy made Li Yu dare not start practicing the Thunder Element at all. He could only carefully dig out the Space Stardust that had been awakened for more than a year in the corner.

Although the Space System has reached the third level of the initial stage, which is much brighter than when it was first awakened, it is still far behind the intermediate third level Wind System Nebula and the overly active Thunder System.

According to the common knowledge of Three-Step Tower cultivation that Li Yu had learned, the high concentration of energy and magic elements here was a holy place for breakthroughs. Therefore, Li Yu took out the prepared Stardust magic weapon and began to practice meditation. After a while, with Li Yu's breathing, the space stardust in the sea of ​​​​spirituality flickered.

In another area, the Kuiniu figurine was still engaged in a candy battle between adults and naughty children with the Thunder Galaxy, while the Wind Galaxy was just a spectator witnessing the heated exchanges between the two sides.
