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

Chapter 106 Battle on All Sides

Ye Lian glanced at Bai Mo as she spoke, and then continued,

"The Flower Ancestor knows that the Deep Sleep Flower is a plant needed by humans, and it doesn't mind if someone occasionally comes and takes a few plants. But your behavior today has gone too far, and the Flower Ancestor no longer welcomes you."

Bai Mo scratched his head and changed the subject, "I didn't know, but your Lin Qi is quite a remarkable person. Now that we know the reason, we won't bother you any further."

Lingling's eyes also flickered at this moment. This was the first time she had ever heard of a contracted beast continuing to protect humans after the summoner's death.

She didn't pay much attention to these things; only demons and monsters interested her. There might be more than just Qingxi Town as examples, and Lingling planned to go back and investigate.

Ding Yumin also found Ye Lian's story somewhat surprising. She only knew that when a summoner died, their contracted beast would not die with them. As for what happened to their contracted beasts after the summoner's death, she really didn't know.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Bai Mo informed Ye Lian of the mission to collect Deep Sleep Flowers at the main campus of Mingzhu Academy, and instructed Ye Lian that if she could communicate with their Flower Ancestor, she should not allow the Deep Sleep Flower sea to expand any further.

Many things are best done in moderation. If the Flower Ancestor were to die, no one could say for sure what kind of trouble so many Deep Sleeping Flowers might cause.

After bidding farewell to Ye Lian in Qingxi Town, Bai Mo, along with Ding Yumin and Lingling, headed south towards Shanghai.

However, after leaving Qingxi Town, Bai Mo suddenly turned around and sped towards Dinghu Lake, which is west of the Deep Sleep Flower Sea.

"You suspect that Ye Lian is lying? But I can sense that what she said is true." Ding Yumin asked after seeing Bai Mo's movements.

"I know, I just want to confirm again whether that flower forest is really stopping the invasion of the blue-headed salamander demon."

Bai Mo spoke softly, and thin, bluish-white wind trails left long tails in the air. Soon, they arrived at the shore of Dinghu Lake.

The blue-headed salamander is an amphibious demon that typically lives near the mudflats by lakes.

The iconic white heads, resembling both frog and fish heads, were enormous, like millstones, terrifying and ferocious. Bai Mo and his companions found them sunbathing on a shallow beach without much searching.

Beneath its white head was a body that was not small either, glistening with an oily sheen under the sun. They densely covered the mudflats, enough to fill a playground.

Not far away, one could see the deep blue slumbering flowers. Some gray-headed salamanders tried to approach, but fell into a deep sleep before they even got there.

Then a thin root emerged from the soil, like a long nail or an iron shovel, like a straw breaking through the sealed membrane and the large head of the blue-headed salamander, and then drawing out what was inside.

Brain matter, the brain matter of various organisms, is food for the Deep Sleep Flower.

The three of them hid in the forest and watched calmly. With an aura-blocking array, the gray-headed salamanders could not detect them.

After observing for most of the day, Bai Mo finally confirmed that the Deep Sleep Flower was indeed preventing the Azure-Headed Salamander from invading Qingxi Town. Even those demons that wanted to detour and sneak into the town along the river were subdued by the Deep Sleep Flower that grew by the river.

Speaking of which, the Deep Sleep Flower is indeed the nemesis of these gray-headed salamander demons.

The blue-headed salamander has a strong regenerative ability, making it one of the most survivable slave-level demons and very difficult to kill. However, the Deep Sleep Flower can hypnotize them and suck their brains.

"Since there are no problems, let's go," Lingling said.

Bai Mo nodded slightly and led the two to other places marked with Deep Sleep Flowers, where they would encounter other students from the same school in groups.

Bai Mo would lend a hand to those who needed help, and the profits would be split equally. If he didn't need help, he would simply leave as if the Deep Sleep Flower didn't exist.

Bai Mo wasn't worried about anyone trying to take advantage of the flower field; he believed Ye Lian would warn those people.

In the following days, he took the two of them to explore further out, successfully increasing the number of Deep Sleep Flowers to one thousand.

Five days after the main campus assessment began, Bai Mo and Ding Yumin returned last night. As soon as they got near the school, Ding Yumin told him that someone was watching them.

Zhao Qingying also sent a message saying that Lu Yilin had incited and persuaded a large number of students, who knew that he had obtained a lot of Deep Sleep Flowers in the wild, to join forces to rob him on the way.

Incidentally, Lu Yilin had invited her, but she declined.

Bai Mo thanked him, thinking that his old classmate was somewhat reliable. Instead of going directly to the main square to hand in the task, he returned to the courtyard first.

I checked those who had submitted their tasks, but found none.

Everyone knows that Lu Yilin and his men are guarding that place, seemingly preparing to attack together on the last day.

Someone sent a message inviting Bai Mo to join them, but Bai Mo declined.

He'll hand in the task tomorrow; he doesn't want to wait in line.

Lu Yilin can just keep blocking the road.

Let's leave them out for one night first.

Take a relaxing shower, have a good night's sleep, and slowly walk to the main square in the morning sunlight.

Bai Mo glanced around at the people. In the trees, on the lawn, in the shadows, Lu Yilin and his group were not far from the flower-offering platform.

That's right, to hand over this task, you must place what you've collected on that flower-offering platform that's five meters in diameter.

Bai Mo had ample reason to suspect that this was a deliberate scheme by the school. They wanted the students to compete against each other here, with the winner taking all.

Bai Mo himself wasn't sure what the meaning of this action was. Was it to filter out the internal power struggles among the top talents? Or was it to tell his students that human nature, like demons, needs to be guarded against at all times?

Looking at the four people walking with Lu Yilin, Bai Mo noticed that two of them looked familiar. They were Zhuang Libing from the Zhuang family and Dongfang Ye from the Dongfang family.

As they walked towards the flower-offering platform, Bai Mo asked Ding Yumin beside him, "How many?"

"More than fifty, I can block six for you."

Bai Mo smiled as he watched Zhou Tianyuan, Mei Qian, and Zhang Yuan walk towards him through the crowd. He was surprised that Zhang Yuan would step forward at this moment. So he said softly, "I can handle it. You're my little companion."

Ding Yumin: "."

"Brother Mo, let me help you!"

"That's right, Bai Mo, so what if they have more people? We're not without people either," Zhou Tianyuan said indignantly.

Bai Mo glanced at them and nodded slightly. "You guys can handle the rest of the group."

The group looked behind Bai Mo and saw that Liu Qian, who was very famous in the fire element, had blocked their retreat with several people.

"Bai Mo, if you know what's good for you, hand over all your Deep Sleep Flowers, or magic won't be blind!"

Lu Yilin looked at Bai Mo with a smug expression. In his mind, Bai Mo was already trapped.

This time, he gathered (coerced and lured) those senior students from the Qing Campus who were loyal to the Lu family {had nowhere else to go} to besiege Bai Mo.

Defeating the person who made his cousin and elder brother suffer a setback would definitely be a brilliant move to boast about within the family and secure a lot of resources.

Ignoring Lu Yilin's words, Bai Mo thought that the people in the Lu family were all possessed by the Red Demon, unreasonable, and doomed.

He looked at Dongfang Ye, Zhuang Libing, Dong Shan, and a girl who looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before, and said with some surprise:

"How did you end up associating with the Lu family? Their reputation is so bad that even maggots in the toilet would despise them."

"Bai Mo, you're courting death!!" Lu Yilin's face turned extremely ugly upon hearing this. Dongfang Ye and the other three exchanged glances, and Dong Shan spoke first:

"Bai Mo, enough with the small talk, we just want to get into the Three-Step Tower!"

Seeing that Bai Mo was ignoring him, Lu Yilin finally couldn't bear the humiliation any longer and became completely enraged. He waved his hand, and a burst of light rose up. At the same time, he shouted:

"Beat them all! Beat them hard! Whoever does the most will become a retainer of the Lu family!"

His words should have been more effective, because as soon as they left his mouth, the magic that Dongfang Ye and the others were about to unleash all stopped abruptly.

Meanwhile, the people surrounding them unleashed their magic without any hesitation.

"Ice Lock!"

Several ice mages on the left front simultaneously unleashed a mid-level ice lock, instantly freezing half of the plaza. The air in the plaza turned frigid as a result, and thick chains, accompanied by a biting wind, lashed out at Bai Mo.

On the right, several people were enveloped in a misty haze, the reflected light covering the entire sky, and surging waves of water gathered above their heads.

"Surging waves!"

Several surging waves merged into an even larger wave, far more powerful than a level three tidal bore, roaring and churning up earth and rocks as it surged forward.

But that wasn't all. Everyone suddenly felt their breathing become difficult. Gusts of air surged and whipped up a gale. To Bai Mo's left rear, a blue star map floated behind three people. Whirlwinds lifted them up, and one after another, towering tornadoes formed.

"They really don't hold back at all, and the school doesn't do anything about it!"

"Won't they get beaten to death?"

"How could they do that? They were classmates."

Students outside the square, unable to bear the sight any longer, said...

"Aren't there teachers standing there?"

"where?"

The people next to him looked in the direction he was pointing and saw two people standing on the edge of a teaching building near the square.

"Director Xiao, aren't you worried about his safety?"

Gu Han, who was in charge of ensuring the safety of this assessment, asked Xiao Jun, who was standing proudly beside him.

Xiao Jun shook his head. Out of concern for his students, he had learned about Bai Mo's deeds during this period, and to be honest, he was very surprised.

"Bai Mo's strength far surpasses that of the students in the Qing Campus. Just wait and see."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and waved it, and a transparent barrier that blocked magic appeared on the huge square, like a giant bowl covering the entire square.

To prevent the magic inside from flying out and hitting people or damaging the school building.

On the main square, facing the thunderous waves that seemed to crush everything in front of him, the chains as heavy as ice and iron, and the wild and violent tornadoes that seemed to tear with great force, Bai Mo remained calm and composed.

He didn't make any movement, nor did he adopt any gesture to assist in casting spells. Only the sharp silver light in his eyes and the mysterious and magnificent silver star map that suddenly appeared above his head were visible.

"Buzz~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!"

A deep, long hum resounded in the ears of everyone in the square, and then streaks of faint silver light, like ribbons of silk, descended, covering a radius of ninety meters around Bai Mo.

"Spatial Rhythm!"

The sound of magic rang out, accompanied by an even more dazzling silver light in Bai Mo's eyes.

All the incoming magic, whether it was ice locks, raging waves, or rapidly spinning tornadoes, froze upon entering the area covered by the falling silver light, as if they had entered a realm where time stood still.

"reverse!"

The two words were uttered plainly by Bai Mo.

Suddenly, an astonishing scene unfolded, and a chorus of incredulous exclamations rose and fell.

"Wow!"

"Oh my god!"

"What kind of magic is this? It's so cool!"

"No wonder they attacked in a siege; they're incredibly powerful!"

The magic that had gathered around Bai Mo instantly changed direction, carrying a terrifying power, no longer under the control of the mages, and attacked them themselves.

"Help!" the water mage screamed in terror. Even though they could control water, the combined power of several raging waves far exceeded their control.

"Run!" The wind mages were terrified when they saw the wind discs they had released heading towards them, and they scattered and fled in all directions on their wind tracks.

"Now!" Lu Yilin was not intimidated by Bai Mo's performance at all. In his opinion, Bai Mo must have expended a great deal of energy to do all this.

This is his chance to deliver a decisive blow and turn the tide of battle!

His eyes lit up, and a dazzling purple light immediately emanated from his hand.

A violent surge of lightning pulsed around him, and a dark cloud of lightning rapidly gathered in the sky.

Lu Yilin looked at Bai Mo with an arrogant expression, not believing that this person still had a chance to resist. Having just released a mid-level spell, he probably wouldn't even be able to mobilize his magical energy now.

"Thunderbolt - Top-Down!"

A purple bolt of lightning struck down instantly, carrying an aura of destruction that hurtled towards Bai Mo. Without defense, a person could be instantly cleaved into dust.

Lightning flashes fast, but Bai Mo's thoughts are even faster.

Without leaving a trace, the purple lightning bolt, as thick as a water bucket, exploded on its way to Bai Mo.

A dazzling burst of lightning spread, and amidst a deafening roar, the swirling electric wires and lightning bolts outlined a thin, circular shield.

"That's a basic spatial magic spell, Telekinesis - Air Shield! I didn't expect a basic spell to block Lu Yilin's lightning bolt. This Bai Mo is really amazing!"

Someone with some knowledge of space-related systems said...

"Looks like they can't beat Bai Mo. What a bunch of trash."

"I'm not so sure. There are still many mages who haven't made their move yet."

Just as the bystander said, as soon as Bai Mo blocked Lu Yilin's thunderbolt, the students who realized he was not someone to be trifled with finally abandoned their last bit of resolve and launched wave after wave of magic attacks at Bai Mo.

Fire Blast, Thunder Seal, Trap, and Ice Vine are the most common.

The most terrifying and magnificent magic was unleashed by Dongfang Ye, Dong Shan, Zhuang Libing, and Yu Meiren.

Dongfang Ye and Dong Shan are both fire-type. As they raised their wrists and threw punches, dazzling red light spread from their fists.

Transforming into two enormous, flaming fists, with an unstoppable momentum, their scorching heat left two streaks of black char on the ground before flying towards Bai Mo.

Zhuang Libing was a shadow mage. He spread his arms, and a huge, invisible shadow nail formed in front of his chest. It clung to the ground, strange and invisible, silently nailing towards Bai Mo.
