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

Just as Li Kaifeng was thinking this, he saw a handsome man who looked quite familiar walk into the fighting arena.

Li Kaifeng's cold gaze instantly turned into one of stunned surprise. He naturally recognized Bai Mo of the Bai family; in fact, he knew him intimately.

The Dali family is located in the south. It is a vassal of the aristocratic Mu family and a puppet of the Mu family to control southern resources and the development of various families in the south.

Although their Da Li family is not located in Shanghai, they are both in the Southeast region, and Bai Mo's reputation has been known to him by his elders for a long time.

Bai Mo might not know it, but many of these scions of prominent southern families regarded it as a goal. Of course, they had ambitions for it.

It was hard for them to imagine that they could obtain a position in the National Government solely through their own abilities.

Moreover, I heard that this person reached the advanced level a long time ago.

When Li Kaifeng thought about the current bottleneck in his cultivation level, his initial resentment vanished like a mirage.

Bai Mo was naturally unaware that a minor disturbance had occurred in the arena before his arrival. He slowly walked up to the instructors and nodded to each team member.

He saw Mu Nujiao, who was chatting with Mu Ningxue, who was also a substitute.

Originally, she was supposed to stay at the National Pavilion for a few days to see how she performed before making a decision, but at this point she was already at a high level, and the plant species was also very unusual.

Therefore, the mentors discussed it and decided to temporarily add a substitute player position, since substitutes don't take up resources. However, substitutes can later be promoted to regular players based on their performance.

Bai Mo gave an apologetic smile as his gaze fell on Feng Li's serious face, which remained as unchanging as a lead plate.

"I'm sorry, professors, I'm late. My flight was delayed."

"It's only been a short time since we started assembling, a minute or two won't matter," Dean Songhe said with a slight smile.

Feng Li wasn't one for formalities. He nodded slightly. "Let's skip the small talk. The reason we moved the meeting time forward is to choose a captain for the National Team between you and Ai Jiangtu. Without further ado, let's start fighting. We can get going after we're done."

Upon hearing this, the other members of the National Government were speechless. It sounded like they were being sent to the execution ground.

"Alright." Bai Mo chuckled and turned to look at Ai Jiangtu, a dark-skinned young man with strong facial features and an aura of military service.

"Hello." Ai Jiangtu grinned, revealing a set of white teeth. "I've heard Tutu mention you. I'll give it my all."

"Um, what did TuTu say?" Bai Mo's face stiffened, and then he asked.

"She said she's yours now. Oh, and she also wants me to use my spatial telekinesis to cook a dish, and she said she wants me to switch to the Great Wilderness Cloud-Dispelling Palm technique."

Ai Jiangtu stared at Bai Mo and repeated his younger sister's words, word by word.

"You two know each other?" The two didn't try to hide their conversation from others, so everyone could hear it clearly. Nan Jue, who was standing closer, asked with a surprised expression.

She was somewhat surprised when she met Bai Mo and learned that he was the one who had competed with Ai Jiangtu for the captain's position.

To everyone's surprise, the two seemed to know each other.

"I've heard a little about it x2"

Bai Mo and the other person said in unison.

"Alright, the barrier is open, hurry up and determine who is better. There will be a familiar time for you during the training."

Feng Li waved his hand impatiently, signaling the two to get started quickly.

The Imperial Capital Grand Fighting Arena is so large that it can easily accommodate two people in a duel.

As soon as he stepped onto the field, Songhe, acting as the referee, immediately announced the start of the match.

"Virtual Claw!"

Ai Jiangtu entered battle mode almost instantly, his aura becoming fierce and ruthless in an instant, his entire presence rising up, making one feel as if they could smell the blood and fire on the battlefield.

A dazzling silver light appeared in those dark eyes, and a dark, devilish hand clenched towards Bai Mo. In an instant, a huge claw, outlined in the air, danced towards Bai Mo with a strong wind.

At the same time, Bai Mo made a similar move, sending a phantom claw toward Ai Jiangtu in the same manner.

"Disperse!"

Then, Bai Mo waved his hand at his surroundings, and spatial power surged, crashing into Ai Jiangtu's illusory claw.

boom!!

The air exploded violently, and a ring of airflow burst open around the two of them, turning into two whirlwinds that spread outwards from them.

"Wow, this fight looks really cool," Zhao Manyan exclaimed.

While others agreed with his view, this test revealed the gap between the two men.

"Old Ai is going to be in big trouble this time."

Seeing one person with a relaxed expression and another with a serious demeanor, and hearing a barely perceptible groan, Nan Jue shook her head. Combining this with Ai Jiangtu's expression, she knew that his mental power was being suppressed.

As a fellow member of the military, she had some understanding of Ai Jiangtu's capabilities.

Like Bai Mo, Ai Jiangtu also majored in the space system, but in this collision, it was clear that Ai Jiangtu was inferior to Bai Mo in terms of mental strength.

Therefore, he can only rely on his secondary skill in curses to seek victory.

However, she had witnessed Bai Mo's strength that day; his sound-based abilities were not much weaker than his spatial abilities.

On the field, the two players' use and competition of space officially began after this greeting.

Spatial magic is not easy to capture; all that can be seen are waves of air rising into the sky and patches of land exploding.

Ai Jiangtu even directly lifted a piece of ground, like lifting a carpet, and flung it at Bai Mo.

With a single glance from Bai Mo, the meteorite-like ground exploded as if hit by a cannonball.

"cut!"

Ai Jiangtu clenched his palms like knives and swung them forward. Immediately, a giant blade of energy, enveloped in a thin silver light, appeared to be a divine blade made of silver light, and it fell down suddenly!

"Release!" Bai Mo's thoughts surged forth, shattering the air like a battering ram, colliding with the long sword falling from above and instantly breaking it apart.

His spiritual realm is higher than Ai Jiangtu's, so he can easily break through Ai Jiangtu's attack simply by using mind control.

However, Ai Jiangtu had to deal with each of his telekinetic attacks with all his might.

Suddenly, he felt a fluctuation in the space in front of him, and Ai Jiangtu, who was far away, disappeared from his spot and then reappeared in front of him.

In an instant, strands of cursed spider silk appeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, intertwining with each other and weaving into a cursed spider web in a moment.

"Watch out!"

Ai Jiangtu gave a stern warning, his eyes filled with a sinister and cursed light. In an instant, a cursed spider crawled along its web toward Bai Mo, who was shrouded in it.

Curse magic needs to be set up in advance, but for someone as familiar with curse magic as Ai Jiangtu, a mere mid-level curse net can be set up in an instant, so there is no fear that the enemy will not fall into the trap.

Only high-level ghost punishments require him to make prior arrangements and then use spatial magic to trap the opponent in his curse magic.

But today, his usual fighting style is clearly ineffective against Bai Mo, whose spatial abilities are superior to his.

Therefore, Ai Jiangtu took a risk and tried to turn the tide with the curse system.

He was even prepared for Bai Mo to instantly teleport away, or to use spatial magic to severely injure him before the cursed spider rendered him unable to resist.

But to everyone's surprise, Bai Mo neither dodged nor used spatial magic to retaliate.

Instead, he stood calmly in place, the threads of curse landing on him, but dissolving at a visible speed, unable to touch his spirit and soul at all. This completely rendered Ai Jiangtu's magic useless, and even delivered himself to his doorstep.

"I have something to protect my soul, so you'd be at a disadvantage if you fought me."

Bai Mo said softly, "With the protective effect of the Origin Soul Wind, this kind of magic that attacks by damaging the soul is now difficult to harm him."

Before Ai Jiangtu could react, Bai Mo raised his hand, and seven star charts leaped out, forming a constellation almost as soon as he finished speaking.

Using his mind to control the terrifying power of space, he descended, but instead of teleporting, he transformed into a towering spatial prison, trapping Ai Jiangtu within it.

"Bai Mo wins!"

Upon seeing this, Dean Songhe immediately announced the results of the competition, and Ai Jiangtu also sighed slightly.

"I didn't expect you to be so strong. Now our results for this year are secure."

After saying that, he reached out and patted Bai Mo on the shoulder. "As for Tu Tu's matter, I'll consider you to have passed my test. But as for my old man's approval, that's up to you."

Bai Mo's expression turned serious, and he asked, "Brother-in-law, are there any tricks to getting past our uncle?"

Upon hearing this, Ai Jiangtu's usually expressionless dark face twitched slightly, and he said in a muffled voice:

"Just call me Lao Ai or Ai Jiangtu. My family are all military mages who value strength. As for my old man, you'll need to beat him."

"I'm not a robber, why would I take a fancy to one of your Ai family's daughters and then have to fight with her?!"

Bai Mo complained, "Ai Jiangtu's father seems to be a forbidden spell user or a peak-level user!"

"If you want TuTu to become a concubine, you naturally have to go through some hardships, otherwise wouldn't it make my Ai family seem very casual?"

Ai Jiangtu had a dark expression. They all respected Ai Tutu's decision, but that didn't mean they supported or were willing to accept it. The necessary tests would still come.

If Bai Mo weren't truly talented and accomplished, he wouldn't have said these things, much less given him a kind look.

Thankfully, Bai Mo wasn't a mind-based mage; otherwise, if he had sensed his thoughts, he would definitely have rolled his eyes.

With Ai Jiangtu's ghostly black face, what kind of pleasant expression could he possibly have?

Back in the stands, I met up with a group of Nationalist government members, many of whom were familiar faces.

"have not seen you for a long time."

Bai Mo greeted Guan Yu, Jiang Yu, Jiang Shaoxu, and Mu Tingying.

Oh right, and Zujimin too.

His gaze fell on Zu Jiming, who was standing around Mu Nujiao, and he frowned slightly.

"Jiaojiao, when did you arrive?" Bai Mo walked calmly to Mu Nujiao's side, took her hand, and a very gentle but absolutely insurmountable spatial repulsion force kept Zu Jiming three meters away.

It arrived yesterday.

Seemingly upon hearing a familiar voice, Feng Ling, who had been dozing on Bai Mo's shoulder, became active again.

Like a veil covering his shoulders, the air currents gathered into the shape of little elves and suddenly pounced on Mu-jie, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

Mu Nujiao smiled and spoke quietly with Feng Ling.

"Bai Mo, what's your relationship with Mu Nujiao?" Seeing the woman he had his eye on being so intimate with someone else, Zu Jiming looked somewhat displeased and asked irritably.

"Oh, she's my girlfriend."

Bai Mo replied casually, and seeing that Instructor Feng Li was leading everyone over, he ignored him and went to greet them.

"Alright, Bai Mo is now the captain. He will lead you through the upcoming National Academy training."

Feng Li spoke crisply, as he was somewhat aware of Bai Mo's strength. However, he hadn't expected Bai Mo to achieve victory solely through spatial abilities.

I originally thought that Ai Jiangtu's curse system would bring him a lot of trouble.

"I have no objection to him being the captain," Jiang Yu said, glancing at Feng Ling in front of Mu Nujiao as he spoke.

He recognized it; it was Bai Mo's summoned beast. This little guy was at least a warrior.

It feels like this one summoned beast could easily defeat half of the current team.

The others couldn't deny it either, after all, they were all defeated by Bai Mo, and they didn't have the strength to compete with him.

"Very good. Now that the personnel arrangements are complete and all the members are present, let's send you out for training."

The tiger-head pattern on Feng Li's face twitched, and a solemn and dignified aura suddenly arose from his body. His words fell with a resounding force.

"Your goal this time is the competition for the title of Venice's National City, which is also the World University Competition. This training among nations is not only about... but also about you obtaining a ticket to the Venice National City competition..."

All five mentors gave them instructions, which each person carefully wrote down.

Then, the group set off, officially beginning their journey to the water city of Venice.

……

The sky is blue, the water flows gently, and the coastline stretches endlessly, forming a line that divides the land and sea on the horizon. The shore and the vast ocean stretch for thousands of miles, a vast and boundless expanse.

Silver flowers grow on the rocks by the shore, appearing and disappearing in an instant. A small boat, old and frail, rests on the sandy beach beside the rocks.

The vast sky and ocean stretch far, the Dharma boat that departs is light.

Their destination this time is Japan.

"What the heck! No five-star hotels, beautiful women, luxury cars, BMWs, or fur coats, fine, but what's with freezing our bank cards and ID cards? How are we supposed to go to Japan like this?!"

Mo Fan complained, having said similar things many times along the way.

"This is a test for us. A national team shouldn't be unable to overcome even this small difficulty." Jiang Shaoxu, who had a beauty mark on her face, smiled detachedly.

"So what's your solution?"

"There's always a way. What's the use of just complaining like this?" Jiang Shaoxu picked at his ear.

"There are fishing boats here, and a fishing village nearby. We need to find someone to ask where we are before we can go to Japan."

Bai Mo's gaze fell on the fishing boats on the shore, where bundles of hemp rope were tied to the reefs, for fear that they would be swept away by the waves.

This is, after all, the fishermen's means of livelihood. It may look worthless, but to them, it is as important as their lifeblood.

"So this is a total rip-off! We didn't even have a map, and we were just dumped here," Mo Fan exclaimed.

"I've located a village; let's go ask for directions."

Nan Jue said that she majored in music, and she was usually the one who did the detection work.

Bai Mo had no intention of exploring further; of course, he knew where he was.

He was thinking about something. When he got off the plane, his mentor, Feng Li, quietly told him something.

"Investigate this place thoroughly!"

Chewing on those words, Bai Mo fell into deep thought. (End of Chapter)
