Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 108 The Fifth Floor of the Three-Step Tower

Wang Teng still gave Wei Ming some face, nodding to indicate that he understood, since he had indeed gotten some benefits this time.

"Alright, I've finished explaining things here, so I won't take up any more of your time. You can go back now."

Dean Xiao wasn't as serious as Wei Ming, and spoke much more casually.

"Hmm~"

Wang Teng turned and left the office. The Lingyin Trial Council had really been a great help this time, not only casting a vote but also directly nominating him.

The preliminary rounds for the university alone would take countless matches, so avoiding this trouble would be a great relief.

With four votes pre-determined, he only has one vote, plus the university's nomination which counts as another vote, making it only two votes, which isn't particularly secure.

However, he believed in his own abilities. As long as no one pulled any strings, he wouldn't be kicked out. Even if someone did pull strings, with Judge Tang Zhong protecting him, they wouldn't be able to touch him.

People elected through elections may not necessarily be the most capable, but they are certainly the ones with the strongest connections.

In the original story, Mo Fan was able to enter the National Team only because he had supporters. If fewer people had supported him, he would not have had the chance to enter the National Team.

I wonder if he'll have that kind of luck again this time.

Wang Teng continued to stay at the school to study diligently. In addition to learning about monsters, he went to the library every day to look through manuscripts, as well as knowledge about various magical tools and artifacts, and even ancient artifacts.

His skills improved with continuous in-depth learning, and he became more and more proficient, even applying them to totem beads.

The black snake living inside the totem bead could sense from time to time that its home was being tormented by Wang Teng. Each time he did this, there seemed to be a slight change.

More than half a month has passed, and Wang Teng has applied to enter the Three-Step Tower again. This time, he wants to make a bold attempt.

Upon arriving at the Three-Step Tower on the main campus, Wang Teng handed the approval slip to the tower guard and went straight inside.

He ascended the path and soon entered the fourth level. As a high-level cultivator with full magical energy, he had abundant magical power and only consumed half of his magic power to get here.

"It's time to go up to the fifth floor and take a look!"

Wang Teng focused intently as he stepped onto the fifth floor.

In that instant, a powerful force tried to push him off the steps, and his magic energy consumption began to increase dramatically.

"Phew~"

His spiritual energy surged, and he withstood the force thanks to his strong physique.

After the most difficult beginning, he slowly began to climb upwards step by step.

Having only gone halfway, fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead, and his magical energy in the three high-level magic systems was only at half its original level.

As he resolutely climbed upwards, the combined negative effects of depleted magical energy and immense pressure gradually eroded his will.

Finally, before his magical energy was almost depleted, he successfully stepped onto the fifth platform, his face slightly pale.

"This platform is most likely only usable by those at the super-rank level, as the magic energy consumption is too severe, and it gets even more exaggerated as you go higher."

Gravity does not bother him; he often creates gravity on himself, so he can adapt to it.

The real weakness lies in the upper limit of magical energy; it was only thanks to the high-level mastery of all three magical energy types that the consumption was managed to be sustained.

"It's time to cultivate. I absorbed a huge amount of life energy from the totem bead last time, and I have enough to accumulate. I can use the Three-Step Tower to complete the breakthrough."

Wang Teng's face was filled with joy. He was prepared and confident. During his breakthrough outside Green Field Island last time, he realized that the deeper one's accumulation, the smaller the breakthrough would be.

He was full of confidence at that moment.

Sitting cross-legged in the center of the platform, Wang Teng calmed his breathing and immediately began to draw upon his spatial magic energy. The next moment, the magic energy surged towards him like a flood.

Just as he expected, the fifth layer contained spatial magic energy at a concentration 320 times higher!

After entering meditation, Wang Teng clearly saw his body cheering. He had drunk quite a bit of the Holy Spring last time, which greatly enhanced his affinity for spatial magic energy.

The body absorbs spatial magical energy at an extremely fast speed. Demonic power is rapidly accumulating, forming a furnace-like scene within the body. Blood is boiling, and bones and muscles are becoming stronger and more resilient.

His aura began to rise rapidly. He had already prepared himself mentally. Under his suppression, the fluctuations around him were very weak, and his internal energy was steadily increasing.

As a pure space-type demon, his control over his demonic power reached a level of complete freedom, which is why he chose to break through to the Three-Step Tower.

After all, for demons to break through in their cultivation, besides accumulating and transforming over a long period of time, they also need to find a treasure land for cultivation to undergo a period of rapid growth, which is more conducive to a successful breakthrough.

In just two days, Wang Teng felt that his accumulation had reached its limit, and his realm was uncontrollably advancing and transforming towards the advanced stage of the leader.

The entire breakthrough process was extremely smooth. Wang Teng focused his mind and carefully experienced the process.

As one's level of life rapidly elevates, a unique sense of joy arises spontaneously—a primal bodily response.

His soul was also beating joyfully, and a feeling of fulfillment welled up in his heart.

He suddenly had the illusion that he had grown up.

As he stabilized completely at the advanced stage of mastery, this feeling quickly subsided, and his body resumed its absorption of magical energy.

"The fact that a leader who has broken through to the advanced stage can experience hallucinations is simply unbelievable, given the incredible combination of life force and magical energy."

Wang Teng was filled with surprise. He had remained clear-headed and aware of all changes throughout the breakthrough process, which was how he discovered this.

He researched a lot of information about the cultivation of demons, and found that each type of demon had a different focus.

He focused on studying single-attribute demons in particular, and the military-grade demons and shadow monsters were of this type, but unfortunately there were no useful records of them.

Many of these are pieces of information pieced together, then analyzed together, and finally, based on their own circumstances, some usable conclusions are drawn.

The description of the Commander-level realm is more about elevating one's level of life, and he has experienced this.

The monarch-level realm is quite different. When various arguments are combined, apart from the existing life levels, they all cannot avoid the four words "bloodline power".

The bloodline power of a monarch-level demon is an inherited ability; conversely, this is probably the secret to breaking through to the monarch level.

He remained motionless. The intensity of his absorption of demonic energy during his advanced stage had increased to another level. The quality of his demonic power far surpassed that of his demonic energy, exhibiting a domineering force of forced fusion.

This feeling was very similar to his high-level control over magic; within the range of his soul perception, magical energy was like an object that could be manipulated at will.

This was an intuition I'd never had before; it was probably the unique quality of an advanced-stage leader—an extraordinary degree of control over energy of the same attribute.

He immediately felt that the Void Treasury was too small, so he took action to expand it. Driven by his demonic power, it rapidly expanded from its original radius of 100 meters.

So refreshing! So incredibly refreshing!

Wang Teng manipulated the space within his body, finding the feeling of control incredibly satisfying. The Void Treasury quickly expanded to a radius of 500 meters before stopping.

The enormous circular space, one kilometer in diameter, was fully formed. He had a clear understanding of its contents. The space was very empty, with only a handful of items.

All the necessary functions have been retained and have even been greatly enhanced.
