Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 87 Breakthrough to Grand Commander

Back in his dormitory, after working for half an hour, he went to the cafeteria again.

"Hurry, hero!"

As soon as he entered, Xu Yuan caught him red-handed, put his arm around his shoulder, and led him to the instructor's table.

Let's raise a glass to Wang Teng, the hero of this event!

Yaohui stood up, his face full of joy, his eyes sweeping over the military mages and academy elites around him.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

……

Seeing everyone stand up, raise their glasses, and look at him, Wang Teng gladly accepted the invitation and then began the feast.

Without the threat of the demon horde, everyone drank in a relaxed and pleasant manner, and quite a few military mages even came over to pli him with alcohol.

But no one could make him compromise on this point; beer is just about the taste.

The lively celebration continued into the evening, and a group of people got quite drunk.

Wang Teng has already left. As his reputation grows, even people from the same Mingzhu Academy rarely take the initiative to approach him anymore.

In addition, he didn't intend to communicate much, and he was busy with cultivation, so he basically didn't have the mind for it.

He was on the verge of a breakthrough. His accumulated experience at the Commander level was so profound that he had an intuition that he could immediately become a Grand Commander.

A few days later, Wang Teng went alone to a reef ten kilometers away from Green Field Island and found a huge rock to hide himself.

He sat cross-legged against the boulder, his aura surging and rapidly rising, a fierce surge of demonic power washing over his body.

However, compared to the grand scale of the initial breakthrough to the Commander level, this time it can be described as a gentle breeze.

In just half a day, Wang Teng's aura suddenly rose to a new level, and then his breathing gradually stabilized.

"I see……"

"The deeper one's accumulation, the closer one is to the Grand Commander realm, and the less noise one will make when making the final push to break through."

A glint of light flashed in Wang Teng's eyes as he experienced his powerful physique, the improvement in his life level, and the experience of this breakthrough.

Space-type demons have a starting potential that ordinary demons cannot match. In addition, they have a clear cultivation method and a deep accumulation of knowledge, so breaking through is not difficult.

This proves that his choice to develop towards a single-attribute demonic power was correct and feasible.

"Not only that, with my spatial attribute demonic power, my immunity to elements will reach an absurdly high level."

"The characteristics of spatial attributes are stability and inertia, which also indicates the existence of sharp penetrating properties, making it very necessary to enhance one's mental strength."

"The characteristic of elemental attributes is that they are active and explosive, and they can exert great power without being affected by the level of mental strength."

"With the added power of mental strength, the former is practically guaranteed to defeat the latter."

"The only drawback is its ability to cause large-scale, continuous destruction, which is something that space-based systems cannot achieve in the early stages."

"When dealing with monsters like vampires, elemental damage over time is actually more effective. After all, those kinds of monsters can use their racial talent, the Disintegration Magic."

"Not only spatial types, but dimensional types also have relatively simple methods to deal with this type of opponent, making it difficult to achieve a one-hit kill."

Wang Teng pondered, realizing that he still had a way to subdue that type of demon, since the mind-based system didn't discriminate between types.

After assessing his own capabilities, he left the island and returned to the post station base.

The training at the academy was also less intense due to the disappearance of the demon horde. Every day, they followed the military mages to patrol the entire island and clear out any remaining demons.

The training period had entered a phase of just getting by, and Instructor Xu Yuan also chose to extend his return date due to the academy's training schedule.

Two months passed quickly while I was slacking off.

Wang Teng was busy cultivating every day. In addition to devouring a remnant soul of a Grand Commander, he often went to the islands and reefs to cultivate his physique and used the spatial magic Divine Void Pressure to compress his body.

The environmental requirements for high-level demon cultivation are becoming apparent; a favorable cultivation environment can accelerate the cultivation process and enhance one's potential.

Divine Void Pressure is magic that combines the gravitational pressure of space and spirit, applying it to oneself to form an independent, single-unit pressure environment.

Moreover, the intensity of gravity can be freely adjusted; the higher the gravity multiplier, the more magic energy is consumed.

His physique will gradually adapt to this environment, indirectly improving his physical strength and spatial affinity.

This is the kind of environment that spatial demons need, the only downside being the consumption of magical energy.

Even with the rapid recovery of the star-shaped circulation structure, it can only last for less than five hours each time before it needs to stop to replenish its magical energy.

Even a high-level spatial system contains a relatively limited amount of magical energy.

……

"The day of departure has finally come."

"Set off!"

Xu Yuan stood at the stern of the warship and bid farewell to Yao Hui, who had come to see him off.

The elites from the academy, their faces weathered by time, gazed toward Shanghai with eyes full of longing.

The training period has expired, and the message to return to base has been transmitted back via the signal tower, including the training report and specific details.

Today, on our return voyage, the weather was quite nice, with few clouds that were mostly still, and a gentle sea breeze, making it a comfortable sailing environment.

Having weathered a storm at sea, the elite students of the university have developed a resistance, not to mention that the weather is not bad today.

A group of people stood together chatting, and the exchanges between the various universities were noticeably more frequent than at the beginning.

"Brother Fu, I didn't expect your training results to rank fourth. You managed to catch up later."

"Don't even mention me, Yao Wen even ranked second. He really missed out by not participating in the elite demon-hunting team that time."

"Unexpectedly, the third place was taken by the captain of the Wuhan University."

"What's the big deal? Why don't you go check on the captain of Pearl Academy?"

"Is there even a need to see? Who can possibly beat him?"

"Sigh... I'm so envious of the top ten. The rewards this time are really good."

"I heard that an extra 100 million yuan was awarded. The first place winner received 50 million, the second place winner received 30 million, the third place winner received 10 million, and the remaining 10 million was divided equally among the fourth to tenth place winners."

"Don't even mention it, I'm so envious!"

"Ah~ This is the result of our joint efforts, and the first place has taken the lion's share."

"It's best not to say things that are detrimental to unity..."

"Who told you not to work hard? Yao Wen, an earth-type support, managed to get second place, and you still have the nerve to say that?"

……

Wang Teng stood on the bow deck of the warship, squinting his eyes, enjoying the comfortable sea breeze and relaxing.

This busy period, along with the gains made the trip worthwhile, and I'll be able to enter the Three-Step Tower again when I get back.

The practicality of the spatial system has been fully demonstrated: attack, defense, counterattack, displacement, ambush, wide-range attack, single-target breakthrough—its functions are incredibly useful.

The current limitation is the total amount of magic energy. If you go back to the Three-Step Tower, you can choose to upgrade the Space system to the high-level three, which will alleviate the shortage of magic energy to some extent.
