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

Chapter 135 Slaying Demons and Hunting Souls

Bai Mo nodded slightly and sat down to continue listening to the lecture.

"First of all, the power of all dimensional magic is based on strong mental strength. You already possess this to a basic degree; let's talk about echo magic."

Xiao Jun said, "Dimensional magic is quite comprehensive, and so is sound magic. In terms of destructive power, sound magic is not weaker than destruction magic."

"It can cause physical damage, and it can also destroy the enemy's soul."

"At the same time, sound magic has the ability to detect and transmit information over a wide area, which is not available to destruction mages."

Xiao Jun paused slightly, giving Bai Mo some time to process what he had said, before continuing:

"Therefore, every mage with sound magic is likely to become the leader of the team or a scout. There are many alternatives to the abilities of a destruction mage; lightning, fire, water, ice, and wind can all serve as destructive abilities. However, for detection and information transmission, only sound mages are the most suitable."

"Next, I'll tell you about sound-based magic."

As Bai Mo emerged from Xiao Jun's office, musical notes danced in his hands, the five notes of the pentatonic scale cycling in a continuous sequence, while his eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.

According to Xiao Jun, the basic sound magic consists of three elements: Sound String - Kill, Disturb, and Probe. These are the foundation of sound magic. Kill involves the destruction of matter, while Disturb touches upon the spirit and soul, a magical interference that even a mind mage cannot overcome.

At the intermediate level, it is a killing melody that completely destroys matter, while at the advanced level, it is a demonic sound that touches the soul, and can only be defended against with strong mental power.

At the higher levels, sound magic completely combines the damage of matter and soul, making it impossible to defend against.

However, what pleased Bai Mo was not these things, but his absolute control over the sound system, which allowed him to change sound waves and notes at will to create the effects he wanted without having to reach high or super levels.

For example, with the most basic sound detection, Bai Mo snapped his fingers, and an invisible wave spread rapidly over a radius of five kilometers, transmitting all the information back.

He can find out anything he wants to know within a five-kilometer radius.

Five kilometers—that's the limit of his current sound-based cultivation and mental state. Any further consumption of magical energy is secondary; the main issue is that his mental processing speed can't keep up.

He sensed Ding Yumin in the Fire Academy practice room, and then a voice rang in her ear.

"Rainy Sleep".

"Hmm?" Ding Yumin put away the flames in her hand in confusion and looked around.

"I'm talking to you from the Dimensional Academy right now. I just awakened my Sound element, isn't that amazing!"

"Impressive." Ding Yumin nodded, unsure whether Bai Mo could sense it, and continued practicing.

After chatting with Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu for a few more minutes over several kilometers, Bai Mo finally finished playing his kilometer-long telepathy trick. As he strummed the musical notes, a beautiful and familiar melody drifted softly around him.

"The vast horizon is my love."

It rang for a few seconds and then turned off.

Bai Mo raised an eyebrow slightly as he said, "My magic power is used up."

Controlling sound waves to create more complex melodies seems to consume an unusual amount of magic energy, even for a piece of music that doesn't have much power.

Bai Mo activated the Primordial Conversion Technique, transforming the magic energy of the Earth-type Nebula into sound-type magic energy. He thought it would be great if this Primordial Conversion Technique could become automatic someday.

Instead of going home, Bai Mo went to the magic training ground of the Dimensional Academy and began practicing magic.

Streaks of silver starlight streaked across the sky, forming graceful trajectories like iron strokes and silver hooks, connecting to create star maps. These star maps intertwined, forming a magnificent and splendid silver constellation.

"Instantaneous teleportation!"

In an instant, Bai Mo's figure disappeared and reappeared in an open space three hundred meters away.

The movement distance of the skill "Teleport" is not fixed; it is affected by one's mental state, the amount of magic power used, and the range that one's mind can perceive.

Another factor is the spatial conditions. In some places, the space is solid and compact, or the space has been tampered with, which can affect the distance that can be traveled in an instant.

No one has ever made any distinction between these two types of magic. Anyway, Bai Mo used a standard high-level magic power and easily moved three hundred meters in an ordinary spatial environment.

Having finally mastered advanced teleportation, Bai Mo felt quite pleased with himself. He had first encountered this magic when he had just awakened his spatial abilities.

Without continuing the experiment of teleportation, Bai Mo rode the wind rails and arrived at the academy's meditation room.

When he broke through to the advanced level of the Summoning system, he could clearly feel that the connection between the wind and earth elements in his spiritual world and himself had been strengthened.

Therefore, he decided to test whether he could meditate.

He also called out Daju and Fengling. The two little guys seemed to have gained something from their breakthrough as well, and they were both dazed.

A faint, mysterious light would occasionally emanate from their bodies, but Bai Mo assumed it was a change from digesting their harvest and therefore paid no attention to it.

After some experimentation, he discovered that he still couldn't improve his cultivation in the Wind and Earth elements through meditation.

Where did the changes in these two systems go?

He had a vague guess in his mind, so he transferred the last slave-level essence in the vessel of dead souls to a star in the wind nebula.

The bluish-white star absorbed the essence without hesitation, and then grew larger, showing a clearly enhanced appearance.

It's important to know that these stars previously refused to accept servant-level spirits.

As he had guessed, the connection between Nebula and him had become stronger, which allowed the Star Child to be enhanced.

After roughly checking his gains from breaking through to the higher level, it got dark, and Bai Mo fed all the fresh magical energy from the summoning system to Feng Ling.

She has reached the advanced stage of Warrior General.

After a night of cultivation, the next morning, after saying hello, he sped off towards the outskirts of Shanghai.

Bai Mo wants to test the summon beast tide.

The training grounds on campus can unleash a horde of summoned beasts, but the effect may not be very noticeable.

It's better to be in the wild; you can still collect spirit essence there.

With the power of sound, he found it exceptionally easy to locate demons. When he arrived near a nest of Crimson Spirit Snakes, a moon-white light appeared in Bai Mo's eyes.

One, two, three stars—the stars were densely packed all around us, and the moonlight shone down, revealing a huge gate.

He wasn't drawing the spell very fast at the moment, but it was still at the level of a normal high-level mage. Before long, a distant and desolate atmosphere filled the air, and a huge, moon-white portal opened wide.

The Wind Spirit has no subordinates in the dimensional plane, but because it is an elemental holy spirit, many wind-attribute summoned beasts are willing to fight for Bai Mo.

Among the many servant-level summoned beasts, Bai Mo spotted a group of strong and powerful lions and made a decision instantly.

"The Azure-Eyed Lion!"

Immediately, as a tall lion, its entire body blue and even its eyes blue, burst out of the summoning gate, many more lions followed suit.

With their wind attribute, they were as light as swallows, yet possessed no lack of power. Forty-five Azure-Eyed Lions were not as many as a nest of Crimson Spirit Serpents. However, possessing the speed of wind and the strength of beasts, they were simply not someone a group of Crimson Spirit Serpents could handle.

The Crimson Spirit Serpent couldn't bite them at all; instead, they would be slapped and injured instead.

However, there are always warriors in a nest of Crimson Spirit Serpents. With the participation of the Crimson Spirit Serpent King, if it were just a group of Azure-Eyed Lions, even if they exerted all their strength, they could at most only disperse the nest of Crimson Spirit Serpents.

However, Bai Mo had previously enlightened a warrior-level summoning star, so this group of servant-level Azure-Eyed Lions also had a leader.

It was a three-story-tall purple-eyed blue lion, a great general! In addition to possessing wind attributes, its eerie purple eyes also contained powerful lightning.

Just as the Crimson Serpent King successfully ambushed a Jade-Eyed Lion, it was immediately discovered. Two electric spears shot out from its purple eyes, instantly pinning the lion to the ground.

Bai Mo conveyed the order to injure but not kill them. After basically dealing with the group of Crimson Spirit Serpents, Bai Mo had little summoning magic energy left, so they returned.

Bai Mo was fairly satisfied with this. As the silver hairpin spear appeared in his hand, a silver arc spread out from Bai Mo to a radius of 100 meters.

In an instant, only the power of space remained in this area, and the group of Crimson Spirit Snakes were all frozen in place, unable to move, and even the blood in their wounds stopped flowing.

This was the real gain from his breakthrough to a higher level in the spatial system: the spatial domain.

Similar to the effects of the elemental domain, in this spatial domain, he is the master. Aside from the power of space itself, all other elements are expelled and rendered extremely thin. Within this domain, his spatial magic's casting speed and power are enhanced, while his mana consumption decreases.

The only drawback is that it has no side effects.

Holding the silver hairpin spear, Bai Mo became the only moving thing within a hundred meters. Every meter he walked, a burst of spear flowers would bloom, and a few servant-level spirits would be collected by the bracelet on his hand.

He leisurely walked through a crimson expanse, easily collecting the essences of sixty-two servant-level demons and one warrior-level demon.

Bai Mo used them on the spot to consecrate the summoning stars and headed towards the next nest of demons.

He doesn't bother lone demons.

There are many pack-dwelling monsters in the wilds of Shanghai, the most common of which is the Gale Wolf.

However, there haven't been many scattered Swift Wolves in recent years.

Most of the Gale Wolves formed even larger Gale Wolf packs, which often included leader-level demons.

Although Bai Mo is no longer afraid of commander-level demons, he can certainly escape even if he can't defeat them.

But this would hinder his stealthy development, and he didn't want to confront the commander yet.

Destroying some small demon lairs not only honed Bai Mo's ability to teleport (which he used to travel), but also improved his ability to summon hordes of beasts.

Furthermore, it allows you to know how much destructive power your summoned beast horde will have with each additional summoned beast.

Finally, Bai Mo concluded that fifty servant-level blue-eyed lions plus one warrior-level purple-eyed blue lion could easily deal with a nest of Crimson Spirit Serpents.

Of course, there weren't many Crimson Spirit Snakes near Shanghai, so Bai Mo's actions were haphazard and inconsistent.

Sword-headed pig's nest, sparrow-headed yellow toad's nest, etc.

It was a complete sweep, as not every demon horde had its own generals. But the number of servant-level demons was sufficient when Bai Mo eliminated the seventh demon horde.

He successfully enlightened 343 stars and upgraded the initial-level earth and wind magic to the fourth level.

The fourth-level basic wind magic is called Wind Shadow, which leaves a shadow in place to confuse enemies.

Of course, this is not the main effect of this magic. The main effect of Wind Shadow is speed. It is so fast that it does not require setting up wind tracks. It is so fast that only a real afterimage remains in place.

In fact, the real person had already moved more than 100 meters away.

The lowest level four earth-elemental spell is called Rock Spike, and it's used for attack. Bai Mo thinks that if he were just an earth-elemental mage, he would be very happy to have this attack skill.

The rock spikes are quite powerful. The three-meter-high spikes that suddenly protrude are like spears that suddenly shoot out, making them impossible to defend against. A single strike can kill an ordinary servant-level demon.

After wandering around outside until evening, Bai Mo returned to Shanghai.

He has to take it slow with the general-level demons. Firstly, there aren't many general-level demon nests, and more importantly, dealing with a general-level demon nest is quite troublesome.

Secondly, we can't eliminate too many demons at once, otherwise it might cause a demonic backlash and unrest. Also, I've killed quite a few demons today, and my hands are tired from lifting them.

Back in the courtyard, he took a nice, relaxing shower. When he came out, he saw Big Orange lying at the door, staring at him.

What are you doing here?

"Meow!"

"Want to see what I'm doing? I'm taking a bath. What's so interesting about that?" Bai Mo said, looking it up and down. Its fur was very clean.

"Hmm... how long has it been since you last showered?"

The orange cat didn't answer and darted away.

"Haha." Bai Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then he saw Ding Yumin staring at him from the sofa.

"When did you get back?"

He scratched his head.

"Just got back."

"When was that?"

"I don't know either."

"Isn't it beautiful to see a handsome man emerging from the bath?" Bai Mo asked, squinting his eyes.

"Not bad." Ding Yumin glanced at his face, which was still a little damp.

I went over and rubbed his wet hair a couple of times until it dried.

Bai Mo gave a thumbs up, "Master Ding, your skills are superb!"

"generally."

"Fire mage is quite convenient. I was just saying I'd blow-dry your hair after you wash it." Bai Mo picked up a strand of her hair and twirled it around his finger.

"I'll let you blow-dry next time. Magic drying isn't good for your hair," Ding Yumin said without changing her expression.

"Then you should dry it for me."

"I just wanted to pat your head."

Bai Mo didn't say anything, but two days later, under the pretense of helping her braid her hair, he also ruffled her hair.

……

……

Looking at the map of the northwestern part of Shanghai, Bai Yuanzhi's gaze fell on Dingshan Mountain.

That place is also called Wolf Mountain, the gathering place of the Gale Wolves, and their leader, the Wind-Slaying Wolves, lives there.

All around, rings of Swiftwind Wolf dens stood guard. These wolves were being dealt with by the military and the Magic Association, while the Bai family represented the aristocratic families in this operation.

We need to stop that Wind-Slaying Wolf.

"Master, the Second Young Master has gone to hunt demons in the wild again. He has been doing this every day for the past few days."

The steward, Bai Shan, brought news of Bai Mo to Bai Yuanzhi.

"Is he short of money?"

"No, the demon-hunting began the day the Second Young Master broke through to the advanced level. The next day, it was said that several nests of demons suddenly disappeared outside the city of Modu. The intelligence personnel obtained the information by discovering a large number of demon corpses on the spot." Bai Shan wiped his sweat. Sometimes he felt that Bai Mo was quite bloodthirsty.

"How about these past few days?"

"Focus on killing the general-level demons."

"Let him go back to his family."

"yes!"
