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

Chapter 19 Return to Origin (Seeking Recommendations)

The vehicle traveled at a steady speed, leaving the streetscape behind.

Bai Mo, sitting in the back seat, thought about his summoning-type star system, glanced at Bai Hanxing driving in the front, and called out:

"Brother."

"What is it?"

Bai Mo asked in confusion, "How did you know something was wrong?"

"You called me brother."

"..."

Bai Mo decided to change the subject. "Do you know what talents are available in the Summoning system?"

"I know, but not much. For example, dual summoning or dual contracting can give you an extra dimensional summon or contracted beast compared to others. There's also the King of Beasts, which can increase the number of summons summoned by high-level summoning magic and summoning tidal wave by sacrificing demon essences."

Bai Hanxing looked at the red light in front of him, picked up his thermos, took a sip of water, and then continued:

"There aren't many summoning mages to begin with, and even fewer with innate talent. What, do you have innate talent?"

"Yes, my summoning star points are a bit strange."

"Oh..." Bai Hanxing nodded, forcibly maintaining an expressionless demeanor, telling herself not to care, not to envy, and calmly offering guidance:

"The Complete Guide to Summoning Talents" is a book that records all summoning talents that have appeared throughout history and how to identify them. Go find it yourself.

"Okay." Bai Mo nodded, then asked with some confusion, "How did you know about this book? You're not exactly a book lover."

Upon hearing this, Bai Hanxing gripped the steering wheel tightly. Seeing the green light turn on, he stepped on the gas. The words were squeezed out through clenched teeth.

"My third element is summoning! Do you think I don't know that?!"

"Damn it!" Bai Mo grabbed the back of the seat in front of him, knowing that the driver had no good intentions. He decided to keep quiet, since he already knew what he needed to know.

after awhile

"By the way, what kind of summoned beast do you have?"

"Azure Thunder Tiger, Wind and Cloud Roc."

"Oh..." Bai Mo scratched his head. He didn't know any of this, but judging from the attributes, it matched his older brother's first two elements.

Pearl Library

With the help of the Bai family head, he arrived at the fifth floor, which was only open to students of the Pearl Inner Academy, and found the "Complete Guide to Summoning Talents" that his older brother Bai Hanxing had mentioned.

The book wasn't thick; it was more like a booklet, which made it easy for him to find.

Turning to the first page, the first thing you see is an introduction to the innate talent of summoning.

Beastmaster: Has a natural affinity for dimensional summoned beasts and is more likely to form contracts with powerful summoned beasts.

The following section assesses this talent, discusses the changes a summoner with this talent will experience, and explains the differences between summoner stardust and regular stardust.

The aim is to help those who come after them better assess their own situation and develop their potential.

The following section provides a more detailed explanation, roughly stating how many times this talent has appeared in history and the probability of its occurrence.

What are some examples of successful development?

The next page then contains the explanation of the dual summoning that Bai Hanxing had mentioned earlier, which also occupies a full page.

Bai Mo quickly glanced at the page and continued flipping through it. He found that the talents mentioned earlier, which occupied a whole page, were the most common and prevalent.

The middle part is relatively less common, such as the Gate of All Beasts, which allows you to summon any available beast from a dimensional plane in your mind when you contract a dimensional beast or unleash a summoning tidal wave.

And they often succeed, provided the gap between the two parties isn't too large. A rudimentary contract with a monarch is impossible.

However, it is also very powerful. There is even a record of Su Wu, a great summoner with this talent, who summoned a hundred galloping commander-level Crimson Cloud Horses with a high-level beast tide summon.

You should know that each of the Crimson Cloud Horses is fifty meters tall, which is practically a giant building.

Su Wu single-handedly crushed a demon clan, a feat that Bai Mo admired.

The further you flip through the pages, the less space is devoted to the description of summoning talents, and none of these are his.

Finally, on the penultimate page, he saw the talent that matched the description of his star changes—the Origin Contract.

Its description takes up only one-third of the entire page.

Bai Mo read each word carefully:

The Origin Contract allows a summoned beast of any single elemental attribute to convert all of its power into magical stardust of the same element in the spiritual world. This stardust can accompany the summoned beast as it cultivates and grows.

The growth limit of this stardust is determined by the bloodline limit of the contracted summoned beast; only when the summoned beast grows can its magical cultivation grow.

The galactic magic energy generated by summoned beasts can be converted into the magical magic energy of the mage's original galaxy.

Note: If a summoned beast dies, its magic system will perish, its cultivation level will regress, and it cannot be contracted again.

After reading the introduction and the detailed explanation, Bai Mo, without any regard for the fact that this was a public place, grinned broadly on his handsome face.

This person has a very strong talent; by contracting a pet beast that only possesses one elemental attribute, they can gain an additional elemental magic of the same type.

However, it is also very weak and has many limitations. For example, the upper limit of the bloodline of the contracted pet should be relatively high, and only creatures with a single elemental attribute can trigger the talent ability, Return to Origin.

However, if the contracted beast also possesses another non-elemental attribute, it won't have any impact. But the purer the attribute, the better; in short, it cannot possess two elemental abilities simultaneously.

Elements are the most common, and many demons are proficient in multiple elemental abilities, so if you make the wrong choice, it will just be a normal summoning contract.

If you randomly choose a servant-level elemental beast to form a contract, you will only get a magic system that can never break through to the intermediate level in your lifetime, because the upper limit is servant.

Similarly, if one contracts a monarch-level or even imperial-blooded summoned beast, the resulting magic can reach super-level or even forbidden spells.

I don't know if training summoned beasts to break through bloodline limitations and advance can increase the upper limit of magic cultivation; it's not mentioned in the book.

It does state that magic cultivation is bound to summoned beasts. The magic cultivation level corresponds to the summoned beast's cultivation level; one cannot cultivate to increase their own cultivation level, but they can cultivate to restore magical energy.

Furthermore, neither summoned beasts obtained through dimensional summoning nor those summoned through contracts can die. If they die, the star system they created due to their innate talent is destroyed, and they cannot activate the Return to Origin skill again.

More importantly, it can convert magical energy, which means that it has installed several backup hidden energy sources for itself.

You can relax a little about the mana consumption now. There are very few things in the magical world that can replenish mana.

Overall, this talent is quite impressive.

Is this book really that funny?

A clear and ethereal voice, like the sound of a mountain stream, rang out beside me.

Bai Mo looked up following the sound and saw a pair of clean and beautiful eyes, like those of someone who had just been out in the mountains after a rain.

He paused slightly, those eyes looked somewhat familiar.

Only then did he notice the girl's beautiful face.

Hmm, this face looks familiar too.

It was a year and a half ago, at the freshman awakening ceremony, that girl who knocked out two classes, Ding Yumin.

Bai Mo smiled slightly, "It's you. This book isn't funny."

"You recognize me?" the girl asked softly, a hint of surprise flashing in her clear eyes.

"I remember you. Your eyes are beautiful; I have a strong impression of them." Bai Mo shook his head, then asked in confusion, "Besides, didn't you recognize me and that's why you came to greet me?"

Ding Yumin placed the book she was holding on the table, pulled out a chair, sat opposite Bai Mo, and smiled gently:

"Yes, I didn't expect to run into a former classmate here. I was just curious and came to say hello."

"Really? I thought it was because I'm handsome." Bai Mo looked disappointed.

"..." Ding Yumin remained silent, failing to grasp his humor, and rolled her eyes at him.

"Okay, no joke, what did you want to see me about?"

Bai Mo put away the feigned disappointment on his face and looked into the girl's eyes, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration and praise.

Despite Bai Mo's intense gaze, Ding Yumin remained unfazed, extending her hand and speaking casually.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Ding Yumin."

"Oh..., that's a nice name." Bai Mo extended her hand and shook his. The touch was delicate, smooth, and cool. He quickly withdrew his hand and said, "Hello, my name is Bai Mo."

Ding Yumin nodded, glanced at his book, and then asked, "What kind of information are you here to look up?"

"Yes, we've found it." Bai Mo paused, thinking about how he had just grinned and laughed silently, and inexplicably felt stupid and silly, wanting to give himself a good beating.

But feeling that he could still salvage the situation, he explained, "I was so happy to find out that I laughed for a long time."

"oh……"

Ding Yumin nodded, indicating that she understood. She glanced at the book in front of Bai Mo again, looking somewhat puzzled.

"I remember... you're a space-type user?"

"You remember that too?!"

"I remember." Ding Yumin nodded, glanced at his face, and a trace of recollection flashed in her eyes. "The only space science department in the whole school, and you didn't faint."

"I see."

"so?"

"I've reached the intermediate level."

Bai Mo didn't hide anything and said directly that it wasn't anything shameful, based on his understanding of the Bai family head.

Most people in the family probably already know.

"I see..." Ding Yumin's eyes first showed surprise, then a hint of understanding flashed across them, "So, your second element is summoning?"

"Yes." Ding Yumin nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

She didn't speak, but Bai Mo asked curiously, "Are you a student at Pearl Academy now?"

"Not yet, I'm currently at Mingzhu Affiliated High School."

"Oh~" Bai Mo nodded, understanding. It must have been arranged by Dean Xiao. With her talent for taking care of victims, this would make it easier for her to look after them.

"I'll come find you sometime to hang out and discuss mental cultivation?"

"Can."

"How about adding Fetion?" Bai Mo took out his phone.

Ding Yumin glanced at him, her eyes flickering. She was quite interested in this boy, and found him rather interesting. She thought he could help her improve her control over her emotions, so she took out her phone.

"Buzzing"

My phone vibrated.

System message: Fei Bai Ji Mo requests to add you on Fetion.

Click to agree.

Upon seeing the notification, Bai Mo smiled and added the girl on Feixin.

I glanced at the unopened "Ancient Spiritual Demons and Monsters" in front of her and asked simply:

"Are you a psychoanalyst?"

"right."

"By the way, what level is your spiritual power at?"

"Third tier, and you?"

"Same as you," Bai Mo replied. Seeing her open the book, he stood up. "I've achieved my purpose here, so I'll be leaving now."

Ding Yumin nodded. "Goodbye."

"Bye-Bye!"

After returning the book, Bai Mo walked out and opened a Feixin message from someone whose nickname was Yu Mian.

I checked my WeChat Moments.

There's nothing there. He seems like a boring person, though of course, that's not a reliable assessment.

But at least her social media posts are boring.

Unlike him, who often shares interesting things he encounters while eating, drinking, and having fun.

At the same time, Ding Yumin was facing the book, and the light from the book shone on her face.

She swiped her finger down to scroll through Bai Mo's WeChat Moments.

This person seems to have extraordinary talent; despite having so much time to play, they've still reached the intermediate level so quickly.

This person leads a vibrant life, and their social media feed is equally rich. Beautiful scenery, delicious food, and quirky snapshots of cats and dogs.

A small portion is cute, but most of it is... ridiculous.

Looking at the last picture, there's a cow cat with its mouth open, looking completely surprised and silly.

Ding Yumin recalled that when she came to the fifth floor earlier, she saw this person grinning foolishly with his mouth open, and a smile appeared on her lips.

That's quite interesting.
