Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 284 Practice Makes Perfect

"Our next match will be scheduled in two days, and it's still unknown which team we'll face."

"The game is in progress, and I hope everyone can maintain their current form and not leave the team unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Alright, let's celebrate our two-game winning streak today. Tonight's expenses are on me."

Instructor Feng Li led the team back to their hotel and announced that the celebration would continue that night. Even the sullenness from someone leaving the team dissipated considerably.

"Wow, Professor Feng Li is so generous!" +N

The group happily returned to their rooms to shower and change clothes; being able to get a free meal from their mentor was quite a rare treat.

"Now we should be guaranteed to advance to the second round of the treasure hunt!" Mentor Songhe said with a smile, stroking his long beard.

"Yes, it should be a sure thing."

"Today, Jiang Shaoxu and Ye Luosha formed an assassin duo, and their performance was indeed unexpected."

"In the next few games, we can continue to explore this potential."

"The more combinations we have, the more difficult it will be for other teams to form teams against us."

Feng Li was very satisfied with today's match, feeling that his approach was flawless.

"Wow, you've hit the jackpot! This year's students are clearly of higher quality than previous years. They have a lot of good cards to play, so they can win no matter what." Songhe's face was full of envy.

With the conclusion of this year's Venice World University Competition, the team's results will undoubtedly be outstanding, and Feng Li will be the one among the mentors who benefits the most.

"Hmph~ In the beginning, I was forced to join. If it weren't for that genius who joined and created a 'catfish effect' in the team..."

"Do you believe the result will be exactly the same as previous years...?"

"It seems you still have a lot of prejudice against them..."

"Tch~ I dare say those guys are hopeless."

"Well, let's give them a chance..."

"Let's talk about it later!"

Song He shut his mouth. Seeing Feng Li's firm attitude, he felt that he had already helped them by saying so much.

If Feng Li is determined not to give them a chance to play, there's nothing anyone can do.

When the mentor team put Feng Li forward, the right they gave him was to make all the decisions. He might not have 100% control over the team members, but he truly had the final say in everything after the team was formed.

As the team's performance improved, others had even less right to interfere, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the National Government team was essentially a one-man show run by Feng Li.

All he could do was pray. After all, the Imperial Academy already had Mu Ningxue as its representative, so it wasn't like he was completely empty-handed.

On the other hand, their old rival, Pearl Academy, has quite a few people. Wang Teng, Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and Dongfang Lie are just a few examples. It's truly enviable.

As night fell, after enjoying a sumptuous meal at a three-star restaurant with their mentor Feng Li, everyone dispersed.

Wang Teng chose to return to the hotel. In the past few days, he had met with several women, but he did not indulge in pleasure.

Cultivation remains of paramount importance, especially given the massive influx of people to Venice over the past two weeks.

This situation presents an excellent opportunity for him to enhance his mental strength.

His innate ability automatically captures and cultivates free-floating spiritual energy; if he is in a cultivation state, the effect will be even better.

Especially when it comes to the refinement of spiritual power, the higher the realm, the greater the difficulty in refining spiritual power.

The so-called mental pressure refers to the difference in mental strength between the two parties, with the party with higher mental strength exerting a sense of pressure on the party with lower mental strength.

The greater the disparity, the more terrifying the pressure; a single glance can easily shatter the opponent's soul and consciousness.

His improvement in mental strength level has always followed the path of quantitative change leading to qualitative change.

Reaching the ninth level brought him a different experience than before, namely, a greater difficulty in breaking through.

Spiritual power is formless and intangible, yet it can be felt as if it truly exists.

After a quick shower, he sat cross-legged on the futon and immediately entered into meditation, with a surge of spiritual energy continuously entering his soul.

He could even feel his soul expanding and contracting at all times, like a very resilient balloon, which would become thicker with each expansion and contraction.

The existence of talent is like installing a breathing machine in the soul that only takes in and doesn't give out, so the soul can breathe like the body, eating the takeout that is delivered to it.

When his attention is focused on the outside world, this is not very efficient because some of it will leak out. Now his will is unwavering, as if a stabilizing force has been placed in the spiritual world within his soul.

All incoming spiritual energy has no ability to dissipate; this state is truly one of only intake and no output.

Especially now that it's only early in the night, many people are still releasing their emotions and venting their excess energy, which is practically the peak time for food delivery.

It was precisely because of this that he had the feeling and confidence to break through the eighth realm of spiritual power and enter the ninth realm after the competition.

As for the higher tenth realm, that's too far away for him; it's too early to think about it now. Focusing on the present is the key.

Wang Teng wandered in the ocean of spiritual power, his spiritual world surging with activity, and the three magical galaxies related to spiritual power shone brightly at this moment.

Like three bright lamps, they illuminated the entire spiritual world, and as his spiritual power continued to increase, his will began to connect more closely with the star particles in the galaxy.

This feeling only comes after breaking through to the eighth realm; the closer one gets to the ninth realm, the stronger this connection becomes.

This brings us to the fact that stars were originally an external creation, and the release of magic relied entirely on the combination and connection of stars.

For a mage to unleash magic, their mental world must remain calm, allowing their thoughts to flow smoothly with the stars within the galaxy.

Once the mental world is disturbed, the mage is rendered useless and unable to cast spells.

Because there is an invisible barrier between intention and stardust, nebula, or star particles in a galaxy!

This barrier forces mages to maintain emotional stability and mental tranquility in order to control the stars and sustain the release of magic.

Now, as his mental strength approaches the ninth realm, this barrier is gradually being broken through!

This is an incredibly magical state that is difficult to describe in words. It seems that he can release the magic he wants without connecting to the stars!

His thoughts seemed to be able to connect and communicate with the stars anytime, anywhere. Through this invisible communication, the various magical properties contained in the stars of the three magic systems were presented to his heart without any obstruction.

She seemed to be letting him look around at her, and a series of insights quickly welled up in his mind.

This feeling is nothing compared to when I was studying magic, trying things out little by little. It's like the difference between a beginner and a professor.

This is probably what the legendary epiphany is all about.

This feeling can continue indefinitely, but it is not without limitations; the characteristics of this manifestation are still influenced by the level of one's spiritual attainment.

At this moment, he was still at the high-level, fully-cultivated stage, and could not comprehend the mystery hidden within the super-level stage.
