Full-Time Magister: I Had No Intention of Reaching the Dimensional Throne

Chapter 104 Aura-Severing Array

As soon as Dean Xiao finished speaking, the students began to murmur among themselves.

Some people had previously pointed out that the assessments at the Zhuhai main campus had often turned into chaotic battles, leading them to believe it was simply a fight between students. They were unaware that military operations were also involved.

"Furthermore, do not even think about buying Deep Sleep Flowers from the market. The school has already contacted various demon material markets, and the school will also determine the time of death of the Deep Sleep Flowers. Any such speculative behavior will result in the revocation of your Pearl Student status!"

"The student or group that captures and submits the Deep Sleep Flower to the school first will be rewarded. Individuals who submit the flower will be rewarded individually. Teams that complete the task are limited to 5 members. The reward is the same: one chance to enter the Three-Step Tower."

After Dean Xiao finished speaking, the more than 1,000 students instantly erupted in excitement, as if they were about to go crazy.

"The Three-Step Pagoda!"

"Oh my god, it's a three-step tower!!!"

Bai Mo had never cultivated inside the Three-Step Tower before, so he had been looking forward to this main campus assessment for a long time.

The experience and effects are best when entering such a sacred place of cultivation for the first time!

He's now at Tier 3 in Space and Tier 2 in Summoning. He can exchange his Judgment Points for a chance to enter the Three-Step Tower at any time—not just for free, no! It's to wait for a better opportunity.

His first time has been preserved for so long, it's time to go in and experience it properly.

"Yu Mian, let's team up," Bai Mo said to Ding Yu Mian beside him.

"Okay." Ding Yumin nodded. "Deep Sleep Flowers actually smell a bit bad. They have a wide range of scent perception, about one kilometer in radius. That's why they can survive in the mouths of demons who hate their smell. My Lingyi soothing effect doesn't go that far."

"Don't worry, I have a plan." Bai Mo smiled mysteriously, and seeing her questioning look, he pulled her towards the school gate. "Let's go to the market to buy something first."

After buying three crystals from the market to inscribe the array, Bai Mo explained to Ding Yumin:

"You know I'm learning spatial array formations from Dean Xiao."

"Hmm." Ding Yumin nodded slightly, signaling him to continue.

"Among the basic spatial arrays, there is one called the isolation array, which, as the name suggests, separates one thing from another."

"Among these isolation arrays, there is one called the Aura Isolation Array. The Aura Isolation Array is used to isolate auras, and its effectiveness depends on the spiritual realm of the creator. My spiritual realm is at the fourth level, which is enough to prevent that Deep Sleep Flower from perceiving me."

Bai Mo shook the three crystals in his hand, which were as deep as the starry sky, and said with a smile:

"I bought these three crystals to create two aura-isolating arrays so that we won't be detected by the Deep Sleep Flower beforehand."

After listening to Bai Mo's explanation, Ding Yumin understood, but a blush inexplicably rose to her cheeks. She asked softly:

"This magic circle can make people invisible?"

"Of course...you can't!"

Bai Mo gave the girl a strange look and continued:

"As I said, this magic array is used to isolate and make aura invisible. But if the Deep Sleep Flower has eyes and ears, it can still know what noise we make or what strange things we do in front of it."

After saying that, Bai Mo glanced at the girl again and asked curiously, "Yu Mian, what were you thinking just now? You didn't think I would use this to spy on you, did you?"

"I wasn't thinking about anything." Ding Yumin tucked her hair back. "Shall we go to the wilderness next? Do you know where there are Deep Sleep Flowers?"

"No rush, let's go home first. I'll finish inscribing the formation and call a little helper while I'm at it."

Bai Mo smiled, and the two headed towards the courtyard together. On the way, Bai Mo found Lingling and said he was going to find Deep Sleep Flowers in the wild and asked her to provide a map showing their distribution.

Lingling, who had been languishing at school due to a lack of missions, excitedly came to Bai Mo and Ding Yumin's courtyard upon hearing about demon hunting.

After getting to know Ding Yumin, Lingling glanced at Bai Mo, and then began to investigate and summarize the distribution of demons around Shanghai on her own.

Portable spatial arrays are difficult to inscribe, consuming both mental and magical energy. Even with Bai Mo's high spatial talent, it would take time to inscribe the array.

It was evening by then.

Lingling had already made a distribution map of the Deep Sleep Flower. Instead of returning to the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds, she chatted with Ding Yumin.

I don't know what they were talking about, but the way he looked at me was definitely off.

Bai Mo suddenly felt that if he hadn't reached a high level, it would be better to see Leng Qing less often, as it sent a chill down his spine.

That night, Lingling shared a room with Ding Yumin, while Bai Mo stayed in his own room, meditating to restore his magical energy and cultivating.

In fact, very few students who participated in the main campus assessment went to the field on the first day.

None of them are idiots; when going to hunt monsters in the wild, they naturally need to make some preparations. At the very least, they need to know where the Deep Sleep Flower is.

However, some people obviously won't obediently go into the wild to do something that's already considered risking their lives.

They were squatting in the square where the mission was handed over; their intentions were self-evident.

In fact, such scenes are common at Mingzhu Academy's main campus assessments every year, with robberies on the way being a frequent occurrence.

Bai Mo saw the discussion about these people on the forum and found that the leaders were a group led by Lu Yilin of the Lu family and Zhuang Wangfeng of the Zhuang family.

Bai Mo declined to comment on this.

As long as you don't provoke him, he can pretend he didn't see it.

Initially, he had considered becoming a bandit, but later gave up. There was no benefit in doing so; it was simply relying on the fact that everyone else was strong and could harvest large quantities of Deep Sleep Flowers in the wild.

The distribution map Lingling provided was very detailed, even including the habits of the Deep Sleep Flower.

The Deep Sleep Flower thrives in moist air and wind. This helps it to reproduce, so there are many of these servant plants on a plain near a long river.

The pollen of the Deep Sleep Flower is difficult to identify, but it has one characteristic: when you suddenly smell a strange odor, it means that the pollen of the Deep Sleep Flower has drifted over and found you.

There are generally two ways for mages to deal with the Deep Sleep Flower: either they try their best to conceal their presence, and then kill it with a single blow when they get close to or almost close to the Deep Sleep Flower.

Alternatively, one could take a stimulant beforehand to neutralize the effects of the Deep Sleep Flower's pollen, giving oneself time to get close, and then rush in and kill it.

Bai Mo's method was not much different from the first one, except that the aura-blocking array was more advanced and powerful, easily deceiving the senses of the slumbering flowers in the valley ahead, and arriving in front of them.

This patch of deep-sleeping flowers, numbering around twenty, covered an area of ​​approximately one hundred meters. Their blossoms were enormous, displaying a bluish-purple hue. Under the sunlight, they had a somewhat plastic-like appearance.

To prevent the flowers from resisting when she took action later, Ding Yumin first gave them an enhanced version of the Lingyi soothing treatment.

After the ethereal, crystalline starlight faded, it was as if an invisible wind had gently swept by. The already quiet patch of Deep Sleeping Flowers became even more serene.
