Full-Time Mage: One random forbidden spell per month

Chapter 48 Breaking Through to the Fourth Level, Summoning Skill Breaks Through to High Rank!

Three-step tower.

"Now that my mental strength has greatly increased, reaching the third level is a piece of cake."

Two days ago, Li Xingze drew six small divination sticks and happened to draw the "Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Lu" which is beneficial to mental health.

Longing Dew: A support-type herb that greatly helps in training eye-related skills.

Li Xingze did not cultivate any similar skills; this immortal herb merely enhanced his eyesight and, more importantly, boosted his mental strength.

His mental strength should have reached the third or fourth realm, and breaking through to the fourth level shouldn't be a problem.

Besides "Longing for Love," Li Xingze also drew "Pride," which, along with "Envy," is one of the Seven Deadly Sins weapons.

However, "Arrogance" is similar in shape to an eight-sided Han sword, and its use is very different from that of the Tang sword.

Only after drawing the right sword technique can this divine weapon unleash its true power.

There is also a palm-wielding magic technique, whose healing effect is roughly equivalent to a mid-level healing spell.

After adjusting himself for a moment on the third floor, Li Xingze decisively stepped onto the stairs leading to the fourth floor.

As soon as he stepped onto the first step, Li Xingze felt a stinging sensation, as if countless sharp needles were piercing around his head.

With each step, the stinging sensation intensifies!

The stinging and heavy feeling made him want to give up more than once, but he would immediately suppress the thought each time it arose.

We're already here, halfway there, almost there.

Fueled by this thought, Li Xingze crawled up the steps like a zombie.

"arrive!"

The intense pressure that had been causing him immense pain vanished instantly, and he was enveloped by a rich source of elemental energy, feeling incredibly refreshed!

"No, the element concentration is only 120 times higher." Li Xingze carefully sensed it and discovered something was wrong.

The elemental concentration in the fourth layer is not twice that of the third layer, but 120 times that of the outside world, which is equivalent to 1.5 times that of the third layer.

This is understandable, though; if the increase were to continue exponentially, the Three-Step Tower would be beyond human capability to create.

The fifth layer might have an elemental concentration 160 times higher, and there might even be a sixth or seventh layer.

However, 120 times is enough for him. With the three times of the Nebula Demon Artifact, one day of cultivation here is equivalent to one year of cultivation for an ordinary person!

A day in heaven is like a year on earth—it's truly terrifying!

Enjoying the rich elemental concentration, Li Xingze quickly immersed himself in cultivation.

"Where is Li Xingze? We can't find him anywhere!" Professor Qiu Yuhua said anxiously.

Without Li Xingze in charge, how can we defeat the Imperial Capital Academy?

Although Mingzhu University ranks among the top three in the country, it still lags far behind the undisputed number one university in the capital.

With Li Xingze around, the school leaders were quite confident, but when it came to the crucial moment, they couldn't find him.

"Let's ask Mo Fan," Dean Xiao said.

"I've already contacted Mo Fan, and he said Li Xingze might be cultivating at the Three Steps Tower," said Department Head Zhou Zhenghua.

"this"

Professor Qiu Yuhua immediately looked troubled. They couldn't just wait for Li Xingze alone, could they?

"Why don't you set off first, and I'll have Li Xingze head to the Imperial Academy after he finishes his seclusion?" Dean Xiao could only offer a compromise.

"Hmph, does that mean Mingzhu Academy is doomed to lose without Li Xingze?" Zhou Zhenghua said with a sour face.

Placing all hopes on a single student is unprecedented.

"Don't say that. Li Xingze's decision to go into seclusion at this time might mean he's already hit a hurdle," Dean Xiao said.

"What threshold? Can he possibly break through to the higher level?" Zhou Zhenghua scoffed.

But when he saw Dean Xiao's serious expression, he could no longer hum, and instead looked astonished.

"Is he really a high-level expert? How old is he?" Professor Qiu Yuhua was also shocked.

Normally, breaking through to the high-level before the age of twenty-five is considered an outstanding magical genius, with a certain chance of reaching the super-level.

But Li Xingze has only been in the main campus for a short time. Strictly speaking, he is not even a true student of the main campus yet, since classes have not started.

"He's from Bocheng. He took a year off from school, so he should be about twenty years old."

Dean Xiao had investigated Li Xingze's identity and was surprised to find that he and Mo Fan were actually related.

Both of them are exceptionally talented magical geniuses. For a small border town to produce two such geniuses, Bo City is truly extraordinary.

"Twenty years old."

Professor Qiu Yuhua and Department Head Zhou Zhenghua both breathed a sigh of relief; they had thought Li Xingze was nineteen years old.

There's a significant difference between a nineteen-year-old advanced expert and a twenty-year-old advanced expert.

"Without the support of a powerful force, to be able to break through to the high level at such a young age is a rare and precious genius. I agree with Dean Xiao's suggestion that geniuses need privileges."

Professor Qiu Yuhua was very easy to talk to.

"Besides, with Li Xingze, our Pearl Academy might be able to turn the tide."

This time, the department head, Zhou Zhenghua, did not refute it; he was indeed shocked by Li Xingze's talent.

He had been a teacher at Mingzhu Academy for so many years, and he had never seen such an outstanding genius before. He was probably a very rare talent in the country and even the world.

"Regardless of whether Li Xingze succeeds in breaking through or not, once he comes out of the Three-Step Tower, I will make sure he gets to the Imperial Capital Academy as soon as possible," Dean Xiao said.

Before going to Beijing as exchange students, the supervising teachers will take the exchange students to see the national cultural landmarks, so there should still be enough time.

Stepping out of the Three-Step Tower, Li Xingze felt refreshed and invigorated; the feeling of breaking through in one go was simply amazing!

"Junior, Dean Xiao asked you to come to his office after your cultivation session. He said he needs to see you about something," said the senior student guarding the door.

The two senior students looked at Li Xingze with envy. He hadn't even entered the main campus yet, and he was already able to get two opportunities to cultivate in the Three-Step Tower.

They can only get in once every two years, that's a huge difference!

Competition at the main campus is so fierce that students without talent or resources will find it extremely difficult to make any progress.

"OK."

Li Xingze nodded to indicate that he understood, then took out his phone and saw that it had been bombarded with messages!

Dozens of phone calls and more than a dozen text messages!

Most of the calls were from Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan; only those two had nothing better to do.

Some of the text messages were sent by Mu Nujiao, and some by Xu Zhaoting. Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan were the ones who sent most of the messages.

After opening the text message sent by Mu Nujiao and reading it briefly, Li Xingze suddenly slapped his forehead.

How could I forget something so important? What will these novice mages do without him?!

Besides, this is a great plan to get rid of that idiot Luo Song!

A text message from a day ago. Hopefully, it's not too late.
