Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 193 Realm Bottleneck

Wang Teng glanced at her in surprise. It seemed that this woman held a very high position in her family, far surpassing the scions of prominent families in the country.

Thinking about it, it seems to make some sense. They've already monopolized the upper class overseas, and with no challengers behind them, they're naturally not as nervous.

Furthermore, since the benefits have already been distributed and there is no question of exchanging benefits, there is naturally little need to make sacrifices.

"Since that's the case, and you've said so, then I won't go. I'm not interested in this kind of peripheral exchange."

"The key to cooperation lies in resources and our relationship. I'm quite pleased that you have such a high degree of influence."

Lin Yunxi raised her eyelids slightly. This guy was really impolite. Even after receiving the resources, his attitude showed no signs of lowering.

Shouldn't we be more compliant when accepting favors from others?

"Okay, I'll cancel it for you later."

The two sat for more than an hour. Seeing that it was getting late, Wang Teng decided to leave, as it was not the right time to stay there any longer.

"I'm going back to my team now. You can come find me if you need anything."

Lin Yunxi paused, knowing that this moment would come sooner or later, but the cooperation had already been finalized, and everything else was secondary.

"I'll have the butler take you there."

Wang Teng got up and went back to his bedroom to take a shower and change his clothes. He smelled a bit too strongly of a woman, and he was afraid that if he went back now, his secret would be discovered immediately.

Even if he's thick-skinned, he still needs to cover up his picking wildflowers, at least to make it look like it.

He had just finished washing when a figure pressed against him from behind, her fair arms roaming over his body, and he could feel the soft touch on his back.

A fiery glint flashed in Wang Teng's eyes as he turned and pressed that delicate body against the wall...

Two hours later, Wang Teng went downstairs alone and, with the maids seeing him off, left Dawn Castle by car.

Not long after, he returned to the hotel.

Wang Teng opened the door but did not see Jiang Shaoxu. However, the room still smelled of her roses.

"Went shopping again?"

Without thinking much, he went to the wall, took a meditation cushion, laid it on the ground, and then sat cross-legged on it.

Before long, he entered a meditative state, and the demonic energy wandering in the surrounding void was drawn towards him.

Wang Teng entered the spiritual world and felt the fullness of the three high-level magic systems, especially the mind system, where he clearly felt a barrier.

Before this barrier, he could not advance any further; even if the Star Cycle automatically cultivated and incorporated demonic energy into it, it would dissipate.

"This is the barrier to the transcendent realm... Without external assistance, it is impossible to break through by relying solely on one's own blank cultivation."

Wang Teng's heart sank. He was currently using the Mind System, but it wouldn't be long before the Space System and Chaos System would also encounter this situation.

To break through this barrier, one must receive a magical energy boost or other resources to aid in the breakthrough; otherwise, the enormous magical energy requirement and the formidable barrier will hinder the breakthrough.

The Void Altar can help him achieve a breakthrough in magic, and the spatial resources he has can also help him achieve a breakthrough in space. As for chaos, he can try to enter the Three-Step Tower and add a Star Sea Celestial Vein, which should be no problem.

"Then we'll need two Star Sea Celestial Veins. Judge Tang Zhong should be able to get two."

Wang Teng quickly sorted out the resources and then continued cultivating.

The hotel is located near the center of Seoul Base City, surrounded by a large population, which resulted in a very high level of spiritual energy gain for him.

Currently, the range of his innate spiritual devouring ability is already one kilometer in radius, which is a radius of one kilometer.

A large amount of free spiritual energy was devoured, and the spiritual energy of the seventh realm steadily improved. This speed should not be much different from cultivating with the Mind Stone.

Not long after, a door opened and Jiang Shaoxu walked into the room carrying large and small bags.

They immediately spotted Wang Teng meditating in the room.

"This guy... I haven't seen him all night, when did he get back?"

Jiang Shaoxu muttered something, put down the bags in her hands, and then gently closed the door.

She took small steps and approached Wang Teng, then sat on the bed and looked him up and down.

Wang Teng, who was in a state of cultivation, clearly displayed his cultivation level.

Jiang Shaoxu was increasingly surprised as she looked, because Wang Teng's cultivation seemed to have reached a dead end, which was very similar to a state she was familiar with: the barrier of realm!

When she broke through to the advanced level, her mind magic had already reached the advanced level barrier, which was useless no matter how much she cultivated, because the next step was to break through to the advanced level.

It's difficult to break through that barrier simply by cultivating. At this stage, what's missing is the help of the Star River Vein.

Therefore, her breakthrough was very smooth. Under the influence of the pulse power of the Star River Pulse, the nebula broke through the barrier and transformed into a star river.

"High-level mastery..."

"This gap is outrageous. If it weren't for the need to compete in the Academy Tournament, they probably would have already broken through to the Super-Rank realm."

As Jiang Shaoxu thought about this, she suddenly felt a little dazed; the gap between the two of them was widening.

The opponent is almost at the super-level, while she's still barely hovering around the high level, unable to even unleash high-level magic. The difference is too great.

I seem to be going out for trips and shopping a bit too often lately...

The thought that she had only controlled less than two-tenths of the 343 high-level stars meant that it would be a long time before she could unleash high-level magic.

Not to mention that even if she completes the control of the stars, she also has to train the connection between the constellations, which is no easy task.

She had already planned it out. There was still a long time before the Venice World University Competition, so she just needed to finish it before the competition. Spread out over each month, it would be about right.

"What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed."

Jiang Shaoxu was startled, her thoughts interrupted by the sudden sound. She looked around and saw that Wang Teng had already finished his cultivation.

"It's nothing~ I just feel like I've been too lax in my cultivation."

"Compared to you, we so-called geniuses are simply not worth mentioning."

Seeing her downcast expression, Wang Teng thought to himself, "At least you know you're being lazy; you have some self-awareness after all."

Of course, we can't say that openly, since we're on the surface supposed to have a friendly relationship with deep communication.

"Why think so much? People are different, and it's impossible for everyone to devote themselves to cultivation."

"Besides, without you guys, how could I be considered a genius?" Wang Teng chuckled after saying that.

"Tch~"

"Narcissistic? Is that how you comfort someone?"

Jiang Shaoxu reached out and patted Wang Teng, her sullen expression replaced by a smile.

Seeing her smile, Wang Teng plopped down next to her, pulled her into his arms, and gave her a big kiss on her rosy lips.

Jiang Shaoxu responded as usual, and she almost always gave in to Wang Teng's demands.
