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

Chapter 154 Advancement to Monarch, Rain Sleep High-Level

Bai Mo flicked his gun, his voice carrying to the ears of the people on the plane who wanted to disembark.

"Stay put, there are demons down there!"

Tiny flies and mosquitoes flew from the one-eyed man's body, one after another, instantly transforming into a dark cloud. Even the air was polluted black by their power. The black cloud rolled towards Bai Mo.

Sensing the powerful poisonous energy, Bai Mo instantly knew the creature's identity: it was the Vengeful Fly!

A pale white wind swirled around him; he didn't want to waste any more effort or trouble dealing with this special poison-type life form that was immune to magic.

As the wind swirled, Bai Mo's figure drifted, carrying them as they strolled across the island.

The sound of the flying string revealed everything within an 8,000-meter radius to Bai Mo.

This also let him know the general situation of the island. The island is not large, about three miles in circumference, and is shaped like a comma.

There were no demons on the ground, but beneath some beaches lurked fish demons of servant rank. Upon reaching the end of the comma, Bai Mo even saw another beach at the end of the echoing sound waves.

It must have been the mainland. The Vengeful Demon Flies vanished halfway there, but Bai Mo still circled the island before finally returning to his original spot.

At this moment, several people got off the plane and were looking around. Two of them were pointing at the blue-clad man from the Black Vatican who had been killed by Bai Mo.

Upon seeing Bai Mo return, a man in a white uniform stepped forward.

"Master, hello, I am Wu Wei, the captain of this machine. Thank you for saving me."

"Don't say that, I'm on the plane too." Bai Mo glanced at him and sensed a faint magical aura on him, so he should be a beginner mage.

"You were being controlled by two members of the Black Vatican, and they're dead now, but we're trapped here too. This island is deserted, and we need to get back immediately. Do you know where we are?"

Once a mobile phone leaves the city, it will lose signal.

If you get lost in the wild, you can only find your location by using a special compass or locator.

Bai Mo was able to return to the mainland on his own, but there were still so many people on the plane.

Wu Wei nodded. "The aircraft's communication instruments can still contact the command center, and the positioning instruments also show that we have not ventured deep into the ocean. I have already contacted the command center and reported this."

"We are currently on a small island in the sea near Leizhou. It will take about half a day for the Magic Association to arrive. In the meantime, we entrust your safety to you."

Bai Mo nodded slightly, agreeing to the matter. Watching Wu Wei's departing figure, his gaze shifted to the dark clouds gathering in the western sky, where thunder was rolling in.

Leizhou is located south of Yuezhou, and contains a vast expanse of thunderstorm-ridden land that no human can tread. The environment there is harsh; in areas rich in elemental energy, lightning strikes constantly. Furthermore, it is home to numerous powerful and ferocious demons with lightning attributes.

Even so, humans still have many strongholds around the area, because this holy land of lightning is the main production area of ​​lightning resources in the south.

The Bai family possesses a lightning-type earth vein in this area, which is the main reason why the Bai family has endured for so long.

There were no signs of lightning strikes on the island, indicating that they had not entered the area of ​​the Elemental Holy Land, and it seemed that they were not close to Leizhou.

Gazing at the distant thunderclouds on the horizon, Bai Mo idly pondered some things.

"Are you Bai Mo?"

At this moment, a dignified-looking young man stepped forward and smiled, a face perfectly befitting a leader.

Bai Mo's gaze fell on his face. Looking at his skin, he was not much older than himself. He was smiling, otherwise, if he had walked over and asked this question with a blank expression, Bai Mo would have really thought he was there to cause trouble.

"Yes, it is. Is there something you need?"

"Hey, let's just get acquainted. My name is Sikong Wen, and my husband knows your dad."

Sikong asked in a generous and open manner, and Bai Mo understood immediately upon hearing the surname.

"So you're the young master of the Sikong family. I'm so sorry, I rarely care about family matters."

The Sikong family is a well-known family in Leizhou and even in the south. Their lightning magic, passed down through generations, is quite extraordinary.

At the same time, they are also strategic partners of the Bai family, and the Bai family's development of the Thunder Vein owes much to them. Otherwise, if it were anyone else, he wouldn't bother explaining why he doesn't know them.

"Haha, I know, me too. I only got to know you because Uncle Bai and my dad bragged about your deeds."

Sikong Wen laughed heartily, but his expression was somewhat strange.

So the two chatted casually for a few minutes.

This Sikong Wen is a high-level mage and also a senior student at the Demon Capital Academy.

This trip is to take my graduation exam.

Bai Mo glanced around and indeed saw several young people surrounding a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar in the distance.

They were pointing at the corpses of the Black Vatican members he had killed, and some people were looking for something on the beach.

Was he looking for the head? He had already taken the head; it was a trophy worth nearly two hundred million.

The wait wasn't long. Although it was said to be support from the Magic Association, it was actually the Southern Navy leading the team.

Upon returning to her landing location, Bai Mo took the high-speed train back to Shanghai.

I had a safe journey, and as soon as I got off the train, my phone gave me a special notification sound.

Ai Tutu: We're going to look at houses!

Then came a brief message from the family, which Bai Mo glanced at.

It was said that the new district was basically finalized and under construction. The Bai family planned to move their residence from Qingyuan District to Xinyuan District because Dingshan was more suitable for cultivation. They also told him that if he was willing, they could find a way to bring the hollow willow over.

Bai Mo didn't want to bring them. The Bai family manor in Qingyuan District was quite nice. It would be even better if they moved away, since he could live there after graduation.

Planting hollow willows there will better protect the coastal areas in the future.

In addition, the sapling willow has grown into a large willow, and the concealment array needs to be rearranged.

After replying to Ai Tutu's message, Bai Mo decided to go look at houses first. This trip had wasted another month, resulting in less time spent with people.

Jinyuan Apartment. Bai Mo saw the apartment number in front of him and glanced at the middle-aged woman dressed like the landlord, who was actually the real estate agent that Lingling had found.

Isn't this compensation I received from the Lu family?

This apartment is decorated in a more upscale style, leaning towards a traditional, elegant, and understated aesthetic. It's quite similar to the Mu family's old house, which explains why Mu Nujiao chose it.

He subtly withdrew his gaze from the "landlady" and turned his attention to Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu.

"How about we stay here? This looks pretty nice."

"Are the three of you going to share a room? If so, we can reduce the rent accordingly," the older woman asked at the opportune moment.

"Yes, yes! Let's share an apartment!" Ai Tutu immediately said.

Bai Mo nodded in agreement, and then received a glare from Mu Nujiao.

"What do you mean 'share an apartment'? You already rented a place."

"It will make it easier for me to visit you in the future, and I really like tall buildings. It's great to be able to overlook the Pearl River Delta from here."

Bai Mo turned his head and looked at the Mingzhu Academy outside the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes full of admiration, looking very serious, as if he really liked it and that's why he rented it.

"Hmph!" Mu Nujiao snorted, naturally not believing this person's nonsense. Her gaze followed the man's as he looked out the window at the Pearl Academy. Before she could say anything more, Ai Tutu spoke:

"Sister Mu, let him share the apartment. Why can others share but we can't? Besides, it'll be good for him to do some hard labor and have a shield. Those annoying guys have been hanging around lately, they're so bothersome."

Mu Nujiao glanced at Ai Tutu, then at Bai Mo with his pure and innocent eyes, sighed, and said softly, "Then let's rent together, but there are still some rules to follow."

"Don't worry, I will absolutely comply."

Bai Mo immediately made a promise, keeping his eyes fixed on the two people in front of him.

So, with the signing of the contract, the three officially became roommates.

The two girls said they were going to buy daily necessities, and Bai Mo offered to go with them, but was refused.

So Bai Mo had no choice but to return to the Bai family alone. When he arrived outside the courtyard, Bai Mo finally understood why he had to deal with the formation.

In the middle of the manor, silver-green branches seemed to be dancing in mid-air, and above them were the branches.

A cluster of silvery-green trunks connected to willow branches, disappearing into the air, making it particularly eye-catching.

It is a strange plant that seems to peek out from the void.

The scene was both terrifying and eerie at first glance.

It's like a person whose torso and most of their limbs are invisible, but half of their hands and feet are still outside, and half of their head is exposed to the air.

Something just doesn't look right.

It's only because the Bai family did a good job with their publicity in this area; otherwise, passersby would have looked up and seen this scene, and would have exclaimed, "So sweet!"

When Bai Mo entered the manor and stood before the hollow willow tree, he was also stunned.

The tree, thirty meters tall, is covered with lush foliage, enough to cover a large area.

The silvery branches drooped down, their silvery leaves forming a continuous expanse. Those of spatial ability would sometimes vanish into thin air, and then reappear the next second.

It truly resembled a non-existent galaxy floating in the sky.

A mysterious and distant aura emanates from it, its straight trunk is wide and massive, already as wide as a two-lane city road.

The upward-reaching branches draw back the curtain of space, opening up a wider area, while the drooping branches sway gently.

A hair drooped down in front of Bai Mo, its end curved like a finger, and gently scratched his face.

Bai Mo looked up at the beautiful and dreamlike tree.

He reached out and stroked the torso, which shimmered with a pale silver light, a profound sense of spatial mystery swirling within him.

He sensed the same aura he had felt from the Fish-Dragon Commander some time ago.

Advanced stage of leadership!

As if struck by a sudden inspiration, Bai Mo concentrated all his thoughts and painstakingly retrieved an irregularly shaped small bead from the bamboo carving in the ancient Yelang Kingdom ruins from his personal space.

As soon as the round bead appeared, the hollow willow branches began to sway slightly.

A faint spatial force descended, and the surface of the small stone bead suddenly cracked.

A faint green hue emanated from the fabric, as if a spring breeze were caressing the face. A warm and comfortable feeling permeated the entire body, and Bai Mo sensed a powerful life force.

As soon as these life forces appeared, they surged into the hollow willow's body.

What I saw were hollow willows that were mostly silver with a hint of green.

The dark green on the main trunk gradually increased, and a vibrant, lush life force, a scent never before felt in a hollow willow, permeated the air.

It was only then that Bai Mo suddenly remembered that he had indeed rarely given the hollow willow plants what they needed.

I've always kept it as a favorite in the space design field. But it's also a plant, and it has all the characteristics of a plant.

So Bai Mo watched helplessly as the hollow willow, seemingly having reaped a great harvest, began to develop.

More lush, evenly distributed silver-green branches emerge, and the original height is gradually increasing.

The trunk grows longer and thicker, ever longer and longer, while the branches extend and cover, reaching towards the higher horizon, towards the more distant sky.

Fifty meters, seventy meters, ninety meters!

When the height reached 100 meters, what appeared before Bai Mo's eyes was a magnificent giant tree building.

The Milky Way hangs down from the sky, its thick branches wide enough for two cars to drive side by side! Thick root-like outlines also rise from the ground, like roads leading to the heavens.

Countless silver curtains obscured the sky, and shimmering green leaves, like a sky full of stars, combined to form the rippling river surface.

A huge shadow covered the area, turning half of the Bai family manor into a world within the trees.

The aura of the sub-monarch spread, awakening a group of Bai family elders and guests who were in seclusion, and shocking all living beings within a radius of several kilometers.

Anyone looking in this direction at this moment was horrified by the enormous tree that had suddenly appeared before their eyes!

Before Bai Mo could speak, before panic could rise, before anyone could question him...

The towering tree in front of them suddenly vanished. But if someone with spatial magic was present, they would see that a thin spatial curtain surrounded it, concealing it within the space.

In Bai Mo's eyes, the hollow willow gradually shrank within the space, and in the blink of an eye, it became a five-meter-tall willow emitting a faint fluorescent light.

Then it suddenly broke free from the space and reappeared in front of me.

It showed no trace of its former grandeur and magnificence, nor any diminishment of its former mystery and power.

Gradually, even the momentum faded into nothingness.

If one hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have imagined that this was actually a sub-monarch!

Footsteps sounded, and Bai Mo turned his head to look.

Several people stopped a hundred meters away. Some of them were still glowing with an earthy yellow light, while others had just dispersed their blue wind wings.

"Mo'er, it has become the monarch?"

Finally, a middle-aged man who resembled the head of the Bai family but whose aura was more imposing and sharp spoke up.

Facing his uncle, Bai Mo smiled, his hand resting on the hollow willow branch as he sensed the information it conveyed and responded.

"Yes, Uncle. It has just been promoted to the level of a sub-monarch and can now freely control its size."

The elderly men and women looked at each other, trying to grasp the imposing aura they had just witnessed.

It's hard to believe that it wasn't just the sub-monarchs, but what they all had in common was a slight smile on their faces.

I must say, it's really strange to have a totem sitting in your home.

A monarch, a monarch, can easily defeat five or six ordinary super-class beings.

Not to mention the legendary totems.

They were quite happy, and Bai Mo was happy too, but also a little worried. The hollow willow had reached the monarch level, and its totem power had basically awakened, but it still needed to plunder energy to recover to its peak faster.

As a spatial-type monster, it can independently seek out and prey on demons of the same attribute. Unlike typical plant-type monsters, it doesn't suffer from the weakness of being poor at movement.

But Bai Mo was worried that it might accidentally wander into some dangerous place.

So I kept emphasizing several dangerous places, especially a seemingly respectable tree on the outer Kunyu Mountain, and told people not to go there.

I also inquired about its ability to condense plant species, and received an affirmative answer.

It just takes a while, but Bai Mo doesn't mind, as long as it can be conceived.

Since the hollow willow has returned to its normal size, Bai Mo no longer needs to go to great lengths to set up a concealment array.

Ordinary magic arrays are easy to set up, but whether a magic array is to be shrunk to a small size or enlarged to a large size, it needs to be replanned based on the original one.

It's not a simple job.

It's not that Bai Mo is the only spatial mage who understands formations, but there's a unique spatial domain within a hundred meters around the hollow willow tree, which is basically only accessible to Bai Mo.

Therefore, whenever the hollow willow grew taller, the Bai family head would notify him to come back and do some repairs.

Now, it's great, a one-time solution that's permanent.

Within days, news of the giant willow tree appearing in Qingyuan District spread like wildfire throughout Shanghai, adding fuel to the already bustling December.

Officials have come out to explain that this is just a special illusionary magic circle, not a real giant tree, and urged the public not to panic.

Bai Mo felt this explanation sounded familiar, and wondered how the authorities would explain it after the appearance of the Black Serpent in Hangzhou more than half a year later.

Phantom Array version 2.0?

After a month of constant fighting and killing, Bai Mo finally had a peaceful day.

He returned to the courtyard outside Mingzhu Academy, sometimes staying with Ding Yumin for a few days, and sometimes going to Mu Nujiao's place.

He found the boy's simple daily necessities, such as toiletries, slippers, and bedding, in the apartment of Jinyuan Apartment.

It must have been Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu who bought it.

Even though things had come to this, Bai Mo felt that even if his actions were somewhat foolish, he had to keep going.

Because it was December, Ai Tutu and Mu Nujiao didn't come to the apartment often.

With Lunar New Year's Eve approaching, Grandma Ding caught a cold and stayed in the courtyard for a few days.

Grandma is a traditional person. As soon as she arrived, she started scolding the two young people for not having any New Year's spirit and for not knowing how to make some sausages and cured meats.

They immediately started making arrangements on their own, which was definitely not going to work.

So Ding Yumin paid for it, her younger sister went to buy it, and her grandmother was the main person in charge, responsible for handling the purchased items.

Bai Mo was in charge of hanging them up; it was a boring yet somewhat interesting task.

You can feel the changes in these preserved meats every day.

A row of cured pork, sausages, and fish hung on a rope that stretched from one wall to the other, already drying in the air.

As the sun sets, it's time to gather them all away.

They're almost dried out now, that's about it.

The courtyard wall is quite high, so these things are hung higher up.

The older sister used a clothesline pole to pry the clothes off one by one, while the younger sister held a large winnowing basket to catch them.

Grandma Ding wasn't used to living in the city. She had just recovered from a cold the day before yesterday, so she went back to her own home.

The big yellow dog in her house was raised by Grandpa Ding before he passed away, as well as the green plants that surrounded the wall. Grandpa Ding is no longer here, but Grandma Ding hopes to take good care of them.

Bai Mo sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, watching them collect the preserved meats, without offering to help.

It's better to pick them off one by one; using spatial magic to take them off directly is too boring.

"Let's have rapeseed and cured pork for dinner."

"Okay." Bai Mo nodded, he didn't mind.

"Add another Kung Pao Chicken." My younger sister, Yunwu, has fallen in love with this dish.

"By the way, what kind of element do you think I should awaken?" Ding Yumin changed the subject a little too quickly, catching Bai Mo off guard.

When did you achieve that breakthrough?

Not long ago.

Bai Mo scratched his head, thought for a moment, and glanced at her.

"What element do you want to awaken?"

"What do you think of the 'healing' theme?"

Why?

Bai Mo was puzzled. He glanced at her clothes. It wasn't that the healing system was bad, nor that her strength was insufficient, but rather that there was a technological monopoly.

"I'll treat you from now on, so you won't have to go looking for those 'healing' girls," Ding Yumin said calmly, looking at him.

After scratching his head, Bai Mo was a little confused. Why did they always launch sudden attacks?

"I rarely get injured, and I have medicine."

"Oh..." Ding Yumin glanced at him lightly, without saying anything.

"Emmm..." Bai Mo pondered for a moment before finally offering his suggestion.

"I think combat strength is the most important thing. As long as you're stronger than your opponent, how can you get hurt? So how about you try a curse-type attack? It goes quite well with a mind-controlling attack; they both involve manipulating people's minds."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yumin's eyes flickered slightly. "I'll think about it."

Bai Mo nodded and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner with him.

Clang, clang, clang—the cleaver slams against the cutting board.

Thin slices of cured pork were cut off, their dark red base adorned with delicate white threads.

It has a unique aesthetic appeal.

Rinse the rice and change the water.

Heat the pan and add oil.

A hissing sound came first, followed by a unique fragrance.

It's so tempting!

"Bai Ze told me that it needs to travel and see more in order to grow."

Ding Yumin suddenly spoke.

"Walk around and see more?"

"It's about going to different places and seeing different things."

"Has it seen all of Shanghai?"

"I've taken it all the way." Ding Yumin put the food from the pot into a plate.

Get water and wash the pot.

Bai Mo packed the chopped yellow radish and diced chicken thigh meat into a small dish, along with peanuts for easy serving.

He asked, "So?"

"Wherever you go in the future, Bai Ze and I will have to go with you." Ding Yumin said this very casually.

"So that's why you talked so much today."

Tilting her head, Ding Yumin looked at him sideways. "No?"

"Yes, but you need to master high-level magic first."

Ding Yumin is not weak, but she doesn't like to show off. Bai Mo knows this very well. He has some idea about his own talent, so he also wants to make some plans for the people around him.

"Shall I go with you to the Awakening Ceremony tomorrow?"

"it is good."

The following day, Ding Yumin successfully awakened the curse ability.

In the following days, the two sisters went back to their grandmother's house to spend the New Year with the elderly, so Bai Mo changed places to pass the little bit of boring time left each day.
