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

Chapter 115 Mysterious Valley

The man seemed to be a master of shadow magic; as soon as he finished speaking, he vanished into thin air once again.

"Wow!" Guan Yu looked at the scene with excitement. As an assassin mage, appearing and disappearing without anyone noticing was what he had always pursued.

"That person was our staff officer," the reconnaissance captain said, glancing at the agitated Guan Yu. "You're all alright now, you can go and rest."

Just as everyone was about to turn back to the camp, they heard a deafening, piercing scream. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a fiery red flame churning high in the sky, where the stars seemed to be connected.

A star fell, carrying dazzling flames. The fire meteor grew larger and larger, gradually becoming a giant meteorite two hundred meters high. With an overwhelming sense of oppression and an aura of destruction that could annihilate everything, it crashed into the now bare Ghost-Faced Demon Tree.

And there were two other places in the sky with the same fiery red color.

That piercing scream just now was the soul roar of the Ghost-Faced Demon Tree.

boom!!

boom!!!

boom!!!!!

Three enormous fire meteors fell in succession, followed by three deafening impacts, and three blooming fiery demon clouds directly pulverized the Ghost-Faced Demon Tree to pieces.

"Moo~~~~~~~~~!!!"

The giant rock elephant not far away originally intended to hold out the demon tree for a while so it could escape.

Because it could see that the Ghost-Faced Demon Tree withered immediately after being covered by that strange red cloud.

It could only take the beatings; if it weren't a plant-type demon with limited mobility, it probably would have run away long ago.

But to their surprise, this demonic tree was so fragile that the human mages had already destroyed it before it could even make a feint.

This time, the giant rock elephant no longer hesitated. It decisively flicked its tail, and a roar that could shatter one's mental world came from its long trunk.

Several mages who were casting Wind Wings swayed and were about to fall from the sky. Several mages on the ground were also in bad shape, clutching their heads as the constellations they were connected to suddenly collapsed.

A flash of silver light appeared, and Xiao Jun, moving at top speed, materialized in mid-air. Upon seeing this, she uttered a soft murmur, and a ring of musical notes emanated from her mouth, reaching the top of the giant rock elephant's head.

The musical notes rippled and fell, transforming into a curtain of sound that shut out the soul-piercing roar of the giant elephant from its surroundings.

With the disturbance gone, the mages finally regained their composure and looked at the giant rock elephant that was about to flee.

This leader has a very strong defense. They cast at least four or five high-level destruction spells on it, but none of them caused it any damage.

"Let it go, our goal is to eliminate the mountain spirit," said the military intelligence officer leading the team.

At night, the military mages rested. They could not fight endlessly; their magical energy was limited, and the time it took to replenish it was far less than the time it took to deplete it.

For safety and to continue the operation, it is necessary to leave some forces to guard the area.

The mountain spirits seemed to understand this principle as well, and after the human attack subsided, they did not stop their activities.

They launched a counterattack, but fortunately the military camp had some simple barriers, which made defense much easier than offense.

Bai Mo took out his phone, but there was no signal, which was normal. He was becoming more and more curious about the contracted beasts protecting humans.

The bouquet of flowers Mu Zilin had during the day, and the Ting Shen that the officer mentioned, must be the guardian beast of Spring City that Teacher Xiao was talking about.

"What?! We're going to attack with the army! Teacher, isn't that sending us to our deaths?"

At the student council camp, Zu Jiming stared wide-eyed at his team leader, Ai Xia, his eyes and words filled with disbelief.

Aisha frowned. "Zu Jiming, do you have a problem? If you're not willing to take risks, not willing to slay demons and monsters, then don't become a mage!"

"Magic is not a tool for some people to get into certain positions, nor is it a tool for some people to show off. If you don't want to, you can go back now."

"I..." Zu Jiming hesitated for a moment, looking at Ai Xia's cold and serious eyes, but still couldn't bring himself to say the words "I don't want to".

Although Aisha's words were addressed to Zujiming, their resonance echoed throughout the entire tent. All the students who heard this admonition felt a chill run down their spines.

"Students, don't worry. You're just providing support. The military won't send you to attack; high-level mages will lead you."

The teacher from Baihua Academy spoke gently, breaking the atmosphere that had become cold due to Ai Xia's earlier remarks.

The synchronized marching steps rang out once more, and floods and thunder, frost and fire once again ignited from within the human ranks.

The university's team was also among them.

There are forty-nine students from the nine academies, plus one teacher in charge, making a total of fifty.

None of them were novice mages; this group was already far more powerful than some military mage teams.

Their goal was to eliminate a mountain spirit that was possessing a Wind Sword Bamboo of Warrior-level power, which had greatly enhanced the Wind Sword Bamboo's abilities.

Its sharp leaves transformed into swords more powerful than thunderbolts, putting immense pressure on the defenses of the flank mages.

Mountain spirits possessing plant demons are often protected by other mountain spirits possessing ordinary plants.

Therefore, they needed to break through the heavy defenses to get there.

Leading the way were Jiang Yu's summoned beast, the Giant Rock Beast, and Mu Zilin's contracted beast, the Mystic Water Turtle. Following behind these two summoned beasts were Bai Mo, Mei Qian, Zhou Tianyuan, and Mu Tingying, along with several other mages with strong destructive capabilities.

The defensive mages and other mages stood on both sides, the teacher in charge brought up the rear, and Ye Zi, Jiang Yu, and Mu Zilin, three mages majoring in summoning, were protected in the middle.

"ice!"

Just as they were about to enter the jungle, Mu Tingying, who was in charge of leading all the ice mages, gave a loud shout, and immediately seven ice-type star maps were displayed.

Bai Mo glanced at Zhou Tianyuan, who was enveloped in pale purple frost, and asked with some surprise:

"When did you equip yourself with dual spirit seeds?"

"Hehe, ever since I got the chance to use the Three-Step Tower, my family has bought me Spirit Ice and Spirit Water. It took me quite a bit of effort to subdue them."

Just then, Mu Tingying gave another soft command, "Lock!"

A chilling aura filled the air as ice chains burst forth from the ground. As the team advanced, before the trees could even transform into tentacles to launch an attack, chains of ice flew out to entangle and freeze them.

However, the mountain spirits were not about to sit idly by. Each branch transformed into vines, intertwining and entwining with the incoming ice chains. Yet, the ice still spread along these vines, reaching the tree trunk and freezing the entire tree.

The group continued their advance, as some of the mountain spirit's energy was tied up by the ice lock.

"wind!"

At a command, the wind mages in the group, along with Bai Mo, cast a wind spell. Instantly, the air currents surged like a flood, creating a vacuum in the entire area, rendering it completely silent, even the wind itself.

Thirteen tornadoes rose up, all sweeping towards the mountain spirit trees within a 180-degree radius. The powerful winds acted like millstones, turning everything in their path to dust. The mountain spirits were forced to reveal themselves, their bodies tumbling and being thrown high into the air.

Bai Mo knew that what looked impressive now was just because these people had drawn up the spells beforehand, allowing them to use them in unison.

If you go too deep into it, you'll have to rely on yourself. At that point, the release of magic will definitely be haphazard and disjointed.

Sure enough, as the team got closer to the Wind Arrow Bamboo, the pressure on the students of the academy increased. Although there were not only mountain spirits all around, the continuous attacks from the mountain spirits were already overwhelming.

Four rock barriers can protect all the students, and three light shields can do the same. Fortunately, there are quite a few light-elemental students, so they can take turns.

However, everyone's spellcasting speed varies, and their mastery of magic also differs, so sometimes the defense will be slightly different.

At this moment, even the slightest mistake could be fatal. This highlights Bai Mo's importance as a spatial mage.

All that could be seen was a huge, mysterious silver star map looming overhead, followed by a circle of silver ripples spreading out like water. Wherever the ripples passed, it was as if they were being suppressed by endless power, and the space resounded with a series of buzzing sounds. Everything shattered, including the trees and the mountain spirits inside.

When the group arrived near the mountain spirit possessing the Wind Arrow Bamboo, the teacher who had been standing still finally made a move, waving his hand to unleash a large patch of frost that froze the sky, causing a huge, frozen coffin to descend.

The coffin was icy cold, carrying the power to freeze everything, and instantly shattered the wind arrow bamboo, turning a hundred-meter radius into a world of ice and snow.

With the aid of nine high-level mages, the military swept through the mountain spirits with unstoppable momentum, forcing them to flee in disarray. However, the military seemed to have no intention of letting these mountain spirits go.

Therefore, Xiao Jun had long ago set up an isolation array around the area to block the mountain spirits from going south, so the mountain spirits could only go north, or east and west.

However, the military had deployed forces in all three directions. After eliminating the main force of the mountain spirits, the military mages broke into smaller teams and searched the entire mountainside for the mountain spirits. This was the last task of Bai Mo and his group's training.

Bai Mo always felt awkward teaming up with others, except for functional teammates like those with a mind-body or healing abilities.

Holding the Wind-Seeking Guide in his hand, with wind marks swirling around his body, Bai Mo looked at the mountain spirit in front of him whose escape speed was comparable to his own.

With a flash of silver light in his hand, he hurled the silver hairpin spear, piercing through the mountain spirit and pinning it to the ground.

The flowing blood soaked a patch of wildflowers nearby.

Bai Mo arrived beside the mountain spirit, whose death was already complete with the silver hairpin spear. A faint spirit drifted into the vessel of the dead.

I haven't had a chance to use the Silver Hairpin Spear during these past few days of training, for fear of consuming too much magic energy.

Bai Mo raised his hand to put the gun away and turned to leave, but his eyes swept around and he noticed something was wrong.

This appears to be the mouth of a valley, filled with flowers, all of them *Heliotropium indicum*.

Looking through the valley entrance, he could only see a thin mist and what appeared to be a field of wind-seeking flowers covering the mountains and fields!

This piqued Bai Mo's curiosity. Were these Wind-Seeking Flowers planted by someone? Was someone here?

Why are there so many "Seeking Wind Flowers"?

Driven by curiosity, they ventured into the White Ink Valley.

The fog in the valley was thin, but from a distance it was enough to obstruct the view.

The wind spirit on the shoulder also found the fog a bit annoying, so it waved its hand and created a whirlwind, blowing all the fog into the sky.

Once everything before him became clear, Bai Mo looked around and was immediately filled with astonishment and fear.

In the very center of the valley, a tall, pale blue flower stood quietly. Above the bud, pale white pollen flew out like thick clouds, some falling like smoke across the valley, while others were carried away by the wind from the mountaintop.

It turns out that the mist we just saw wasn't mist at all, but the spores of this flower!

Beneath this enormous flower, where it takes root, lies an equally enormous humanoid corpse, its exact features obscured, though its height of at least a hundred meters is clearly visible.

Even lying on the ground, it's still a tall building.

I don't know what kind of creature it is, or how many years it has been dead, but it is covered with Wind-Seeking Flowers.

Judging from the appearance of the corpse, it seems that its feet are reversed.

Bai Mo glanced at it hastily and dared not look again. He didn't want to linger on such a large creature, no matter what it was. His body suddenly lit up with silver light, transforming into a spatial portal that enveloped him.

With a flash of silver light, Bai Mo appeared in the woods a hundred meters from the valley entrance.

In the valley, the enormous blue flower swayed gently, and surging energy flowed into it from its roots.

Below it, the huge, human-shaped mound of earth covered with wind-seeking flowers seemed to glow slightly from the hollows in its eyes.

As soon as Bai Mo appeared, he immediately summoned the Wind Spirit to possess him and left the place at top speed.

Regardless of whether the things in that valley had any ill intentions or interests towards him, Bai Mo didn't want to stay there now.

……

……

He had told Xiao Jun about the giant flower and the valley, but the information he received was that it was just an ordinary Wind-Seeking Flower.

It was just a bit bigger, and what lay beneath it seemed to be a mountain spirit, the most primitive mountain spirit. The sorcerers couldn't find anything unusual about it.

Back in Kunming, after some time, Bai Mo gradually calmed down.

The exchange students will be studying at Baihua Academy for a period of time. Bai Mo felt that this might be the highlight of Baihua Academy, as outstanding students from the other eight famous academies in Kyushu were all studying at Baihua Academy.

It seems that because he saved Mu Zilin, Bai Mo was given an opportunity to go to the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm to cultivate.

It is said that the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm was actually evolved from the summoning talent of the Mu family ancestor, the founder of the Hundred Flowers Academy in ancient times.

The Mu family ancestor's summoning talent is a rare high-speed growth space. His contract space is very special and can accelerate the growth of the summoner's contracted beast.

After years of renovation, this secret realm has been transformed to accelerate the cultivation of human mages; one day of cultivation here is equivalent to two days outside.

The effect is not as good as that of summoned beasts, because one day inside a summoned beast is equivalent to ten days outside.

But one advantage is that you can stay there for a relatively long time.
