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

Upon arriving in the Demon Capital, he encountered no obstacles and easily found Gu Changying.

After all, he can get around to many places just because of his face.

Bai Mo simply stated his needs, and Gu Changying nodded slightly in response:

"Commanding the various powerful families along the coastal defense line and directing them to assist in the defense is what I, as the minister, should do. The more people who support me, the more people I can get to obey me."

She looked up at Bai Mo and reminded him, "There's no need to rush the matter of the sea monster. Your main task right now is to improve your own strength. Your idea is very good. I will have Bai Hanxing connect with the various parties."

Upon hearing that she urgently needed to call her older brother to be the tool for carrying out the plan, Bai Mo was overjoyed and readily agreed, while also revealing the first bitter smile of the protagonist since the beginning of the book.

How could he not be anxious? Others thought the siren's attack might still be several years away, and that they might never see the siren arrive in their lifetime. But he knew exactly when the siren would come.

"I know, sister-in-law. I was worried too, and also afraid that I would forget about it in a few days."

Bai Mo spoke up, saying that he agreed with Gu Changying's assessment of strength, and that the reason he was in such a hurry to come was to get rid of the mess as soon as possible.

He only needs to use his brain occasionally.

At the same time, he also knew in his heart that the sea level would rise in just over half a year. How could the defense work be arranged so quickly along the 4,000-kilometer coastline? It would be good enough if the defense of key cities such as Shanghai could be deployed well.

After discussing with Gu Changying, Bai Mo knew that his plan to save a complete Magic City was basically in place. All that remained was to ask Feng Zhoulong to research and produce a wholesale version of the magic weapon.

This was intended to entice inland forces to support and defect, thus achieving a united front against the sea monster.

And he played a tiny, insignificant role in all of this, which allowed him to protect his family without having to risk his life—wasn't that wonderful?

You can also improve your strength while sightseeing (and searching for totems).

Inside the Slim Waist, in Feng Zhoulong's office.

After reading Bai Mo's explanation of how to create a magic artifact that doubles the amount of magic power, Feng Zhoulong couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement, his eyes shining.

"Copy magic? This is truly a field of magical artifact crafting that we haven't explored much. The wisdom of the ancients is truly not to be underestimated!"

"Is there room for improvement? Is it possible to achieve mass production without the assistance of a Chaos Mage?" Bai Mo asked.

"How could there be no room for improvement! It's just a Pure Elemental Crystal technology. The licensing fee is quite expensive, but not too expensive. In ancient times, this technology didn't exist, which is why it was necessary to use the abilities of Chaos Mages to harmonize the energy within the dust crystal core to achieve a state of attributelessness!"

"As for the other two materials, deep-sea sunken silver is hard to obtain, but this Burial Jade Coral is readily available near the coast and isn't anything rare. I feel that using the roots of the Burial Jade Coral would be more effective and wouldn't waste magical energy or reduce the power of the doubled magic."

Bai Mo's question seemed to have flipped some strange switch, and Feng Zhoulong immediately started talking non-stop, one idea after another.

At first he could understand it, but later he couldn't understand it at all. However, whether he understood the theory or not was not important; he could grasp the spirit of the matter.

That means it can work!

So, seizing a moment of free time, he immediately asked, "How long will it take to develop a complete plan and put it into production?"

"Are you in such a hurry? Are you that short of money?"

"We've got it! We'll split the royalties 50/50!"

Feng Zhoulong was successfully hit by the powerful metal magic. He smacked his lips and said:

"I have two options for now, which can be divided into high-end and low-end, following the typical commercialization approach."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo immediately waved his hand, "How long will the basic model take?"

"Seven days, I guess."

"Then let's make the basic model first. I'll go into seclusion here to break through my mental strength. There's no need to rush the advanced model; we can refine it slowly."

As Bai Mo spoke, he entered his secluded study in the laboratory without any hesitation.

In his plan, being able to wholesale these magical artifacts was a way to send money to the powerful families.

Of course, he couldn't just give it away for free. He decided that when the Starfire Trial made a name for itself, he would make public the method of making this magic-doubling artifact in a righteous and aboveboard manner.

As for the high-end models, they are naturally reserved for our own production.

He sat down cross-legged, thought for a moment, then used spatial jump to go to the auction, sold the useless servant-level essences, and replenished the cultivation resources for Wind Spirit Orange and Bright Moon.

He then bought another Star River Vein and some special materials before returning to his secluded cultivation room.

After reaching the transcendent level in the sound system, his mental power had reached the peak of the intermediate level.

Therefore, the primary goal of this retreat is to break through to a higher realm by leveraging the immense propulsion of the Mind Stone.

Secondly, he needs to raise his Chaos cultivation level to a high level so that he can cultivate Nazca's Chaos Secret Techniques.

The Imprint Chapter doesn't have strict requirements for cultivation level or mental strength. After all, it's more like a mature chaotic magic technique explored by Native Americans.

This secret method is still practiced in South America and has even become a secret method of the South American military.

The second secret technique, called the Eye of Illusion and Reality, requires a high level of cultivation to master.

The Eye of Illusion is a masterpiece of Native American understanding of the chaotic order of reality and illusion. By mastering the Eye of Illusion, one can transform what one is looking at between reality and illusion.

It sounds impressive, but it essentially depends on the strength of one's mental power.

Bai Mo thought this was pretty good. Strangely enough, he felt that the entire world of magic might be a world of eye techniques.

There are top-tier ones like the Vast Expanse, Time and Space, the Vast Ocean, and the Eye of the Tide, as well as high-end ones like the Eye of Deception and the Eye of Medusa, and low-end ones like the Burning Evil Eye, etc.

After a moment of musing in his heart, he took out the Mind Stone and began his true meditation, first using the Star River Vein to raise the Chaos System to a higher level.

Then, by using the Mind Stone and drawing upon the power emanating from it, his mental strength was rapidly increasing, constantly impacting and pressing against that bottleneck.

It is clearly perceptible that as mental strength increases, that bottleneck is gradually disappearing.

Calling it a bottleneck isn't entirely accurate; it's more like climbing a mountain. As the summit is gradually brought underfoot, the mountain that originally blocked the view slowly disappears.

Once you reach a certain height, the scenery at the mountaintop unfolds clearly before your eyes. At that moment, you feel the vastness of the world, the lushness of all things, and the unobstructed view.

Using the feeling at this moment, Bai Mo did not open his eyes, but took out the things he had prepared in advance for cultivating the Eye of Illusion and Reality.

Several demonic eyeballs imbued with chaotic magical power, and nine elemental diamonds of no attribute. The elemental diamonds flew up and inscribed a mysterious magic circle around him.

His eyeballs instantly exploded into dust, the chaotic magical power within them trapped by the array and swirling around him.

After an unknown amount of time, a gleam of light suddenly appeared in Bai Mo's open eyes, colorful and vibrant, as it swept across the door of the secluded training room.

Then the door immediately faded away, like a mirage.

Bai Mo blinked, suppressing his strange expression.

Stepping out of the secluded room, he found no one around, which surprised him slightly. The research fanatic was not in the laboratory?

I glanced at the time and realized it was 3 a.m., so he probably hadn't come to work yet.

He also secluded himself for about seven days.

There were some things scattered around the lab, but he didn't touch them. He didn't have to wait long before Feng Zhoulong arrived.

Seeing him sitting indoors, I wasn't surprised. "How's the harvest?"

"Very well, I can take on ten of you by myself now."

Feng Zhoulong didn't take it seriously; he wasn't a combatant to begin with, so he just scoffed.

"What's the use of being able to beat me? If you're so capable, go and defeat Zu Xiangtian. He claims to be the number one young person in the Nine Provinces, and he's already become a Saintly Judge."

"Zu Xiangtian?" Bai Mo quickly retrieved the information about this person from his mind and couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Why are you suddenly bringing him up? Why did I go and hit him?"

His killing of Zu Huiyin was done in secret, and no one knew about it. Logically, it shouldn't have anything to do with the Zu family anymore.

"Why would he want to? Someone has challenged you. Your reputation among the younger generation is far superior to Zu Xiangtian's. Of course he wants to prove himself."

Feng Zhoulong revealed a simple, appreciative smile, as if he were watching a melon seed or a show.

"When did this happen?"

"Oh, on the second day of your seclusion, he sent out one challenge letter to the Bai family every day, and today there will be almost the seventh one."

Feng Zhoulong's smile widened. "You don't know, the Zu family even hired online trolls to say you were scared, and then guess what?"

"I won't guess." Bai Mo didn't want to become someone else's source of amusement.

"It's boring." Feng Zhoulong shrugged.

"Then, the people of Gudu and Luodu stood up for you, saying that you went on an adventure and so on, that you were doing something worthwhile, unlike Zu Xiangtian, who did nothing but scheme and plot."

"That's hit a nerve, so now the internet is buzzing. The Zu family's online army is growing bigger and bigger, and there are more and more onlookers. A lot of people are calling you a coward. Shall I read it to you?"

As Feng Zhoulong spoke, he took out his phone.

Bai Mo rolled his eyes, speechless. "Never mind, let's talk about that magic doubling device."

"Do you have any samples? I can use Zu Xiangtian's challenge as a publicity stunt."

"You're that confident? Zu Xiangtian is also a senior super-level mage, especially with their Zu family's curse body-borrowing technique, which is not to be underestimated and can often help Zu family mages fight beyond their level."

Although Feng Zhoulong was happy to watch the drama unfold, he still offered a reminder.

"I have now reached a high level of mental strength."

Bai Mo silenced Feng Zhoulong with just one sentence, and he then revealed an expression that said, "This is going to be interesting."

"Tsk tsk, a minor celestial seed-level boost, plus your Divine Seal Praise, hiss!!!"

Feng Zhoulong gasped, exclaiming, "What an unlucky guy!"

As he spoke, he took out a scepter-like vessel and explained, "This is the product you wanted, the Magic Doubling Device, version 0.1."

"This style is the most stable, capable of withstanding up to double the number of super-level one magic spells, and it's compatible with elemental, dimensional, and black and white magic."

"If you use it to unleash your spatial magic, it will probably overload you. To avoid any glitches or malfunctions, I advise you to take it easy."

"Furthermore, the experiments on the vessel's function mainly rely on a restriction. This restriction can only double the amount of magic, and because its effect comes from consuming magic materials, it has durability, roughly supporting 50 super-tier spells."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo nodded and narrowed his eyes. Now the plan could be put into action.

Moreover, even better than he had imagined, none of them were permanent products.

He simply asked whether those powerful families wanted this immense wealth and increased power.

If others have it and you don't, then don't complain about it being unfair.

"We don't need to work on durability. As for anything above the Super-Tier level, that's fine. We can produce a custom Super-Tier version." Bai Mo said casually, which immediately earned Feng Zhoulong's thumbs up.

"Since you're going to make the basic version public, I haven't done any technical encryption."

Feng Zhoulong revealed an exaggeratedly cunning smile and said, "However, I haven't shown the development direction of the high-end version at all."

"Thank you for your hard work. I've heard that there's a sea monster called the Four-Colored Demon, who possesses four elements and can combine them to unleash powerful attacks."

Seeing that he had piqued his interest, Bai Mo chuckled and continued, "When the time comes, I'll catch one for you to study. It should be helpful for your fusion magic concepts."

"Great!" Feng Zhoulong's eyes widened with excitement. His intuition told him that the secret of fusion magic might very well lie in this sea monster called the Four-Colored Demon.

Over thousands of years of magical development, most of the usable resources on land have been explored by our predecessors.

The ocean, however, remains unknown. If the secrets of this four-colored demon can be deciphered, his concept of fusion magic will make leaps and bounds.

Seeing that he was about to launch into another long speech, Bai Mo immediately got up to say goodbye, telling him to wait and see the show.

Honestly, if you were a sexy and charming female researcher, I might have a few words with you, but what's there to talk about with a middle-aged man?

Latest news from the official website of Shanghai Baijia Group—

Regarding the recent challenge from Zu Xiangtian, which has garnered much attention, our answer is that Bai Mo will accept the challenge!

The event is scheduled for three days from now on Wulong Island. We hope that all sectors of society will be informed.

A very brief statement stirred up a storm online, while in the Bai family's study, Bai Mo was listening to the Bai family head's analysis of the various families' positions.

In general, for aristocratic families, the city they live in is their base of operations, and they will not easily abandon it.

In contrast, the prominent families in coastal cities mostly look to the powerful families in Shanghai and other major cities for guidance.

Therefore, the main forces resisting the demons along the coast are Bai Mu Dongfang from Shanghai and the Lin family from Shanghai.

Inland, each powerful family radiates its influence to surrounding areas, with each state or provincial capital as its center.

Among them are prominent families such as Nan Rong, Luo, Li, Zhou, and Yang, which are basically the only large and influential families in the province.

It is worth mentioning some ordinary aristocratic families that were dependent on powerful clans.

Families such as Nanrong and Dali were either ancestors or followers of the Mu clan. There were also some aristocratic families that actually had close ties with the government and had only recently emerged.

In fact, outside of the conflict, there are those who don't help either side, and those who help both sides.

There are also groups like the Zhao family conglomerate that don't bother with anyone, and just side with whichever group offers the best deal, but that's not important.

In some major decisions, the aristocratic families actually have a much greater say than the powerful clans.

However, even aristocratic families like the Mu and Zu clans were internally divided into factions, with some supporting Shao Zheng and others looking down on him.

Therefore, it is difficult to judge which of these aristocratic families are on the right side.

However, overall, the Zu family's interests in the inland areas are still much greater than those of the Mu family.

After listening, Bai Mo also had a target in mind to target when conducting the Spark Trial.

Zu Xiangtian arrived just in time!

This defeat of Zu Xiangtian serves two purposes: firstly, it can suppress the Zu family's arrogance and facilitate future actions.

Secondly, it would be a good opportunity to bring out the Xinghuo Approval Organization, to give Zu Xiangtian a warning and boost its reputation.

Thirdly, we can also release the vessel with double the amount of magic, using the blatant benefits to lure the inland forces.

Suppressing arrogance, building reputation, and setting up bait—is this the legendary "One Ancestor's Three Strikes"?!

After leaving the Bai family, Bai Mo went to the Qingtian Hunting Grounds to discuss the specific procedures for debuting as a member of the Starfire Tribunal with Leng Qing.

Since he intends to punish Zu Xiangtian under the guise of the Spark Trial, he needs some evidence of Zu Xiangtian's wrongdoing.

In addition, although he really did have a gold cake to give away, he still needed to draw it in advance, and a presentation was indispensable.

The former was given to Qingqing, and the latter to Lingling. Bai Mo did nothing but wander around the streets and alleys of Shanghai with Qingqing, Jiaojiao, Yumian, and Tutu every day.

It was quickly posted online by some bored and restless people.

Shocking! With a formidable enemy at hand, the number one young man is actually doing this kind of thing in the streets every day!

One eye-catching headline after another appeared, successfully catching the eye of Zu Xiangtian, who was heading to Wulong Island.

"This is outrageous! I'll show you who the leaders of the younger generation really are!"

Bai Mo's behavior has led many to suspect that he knows Zu Xiangtian is invincible and is starting to give up.

After all, this person has a criminal record, referring to his slacking off behavior before his magical awakening.

Everything was revealed by my family members who had been keeping it a secret!

Thus, under the leadership of the online army, such as—

"See? This is the guy you all support. He doesn't care about the final battle in three days at all; he's already conceded defeat."

"Hilarious! Your father hasn't even spoken yet, and a bunch of his devoted sons are already arguing."

"To be honest, Bai Mo's statement shows he's quite realistic. He's only just entered the Super Rank; how could he possibly have the strength to defeat Zu Xiangtian?"

Now, let's talk about how Zu Xiangtian unleashed a forbidden water-based spell, a naval technique that was terrifying beyond belief!

Our Bai Mo is also currently digging deep into the past, looking at Zu Xiangtian's glorious past that has been suppressed.

Because of the cursed body-borrowing technique, the Zu family was affected by the beast soul, and their family members all have some problems.

Zu Xiangtian was a child lover and had caused quite a few harms before he went abroad to develop his career.

As Bai Mo flipped through the pages, he told Lingling to prepare so that he could post these online once the challenge began.

Do you really think he stopped going online just because he canceled his online account?

Everyone has an online army, but he not only has one, he also has a little girl who can be worth a million soldiers.

Hmm, she's not young anymore; she's grown up a bit, so she should be a young girl.

Bai Mo glanced at the little guy's face, which had grown a bit, and secretly revised his impression of him.

Five Dragon Island is neither very large nor very small. It is located independently of Egret Island and has many restrictions due to its former association with the East China Sea Magic Association.

It has always been the top choice for communication between high-level mages.

Once they reach the Super Rank, their destructive power becomes too terrifying, so Super Rank battles are rarely seen in urban areas.

Even more rarely are we seen battles between beings of higher ranks.

Zu Xiangtian and Bai Mo are two of the most eye-catching figures of the younger generation.

However, most of the reputations of certain judges are self-proclaimed.

But as the ancestral family kept boasting, some people didn't even believe it before he himself started to believe it.

He was a contestant from the previous National Team competition, but in Bai Mo's opinion, the previous competition was really not good enough. The competition before that had Qin Yu'er who could cut through the air, so there's no need to say anything about this competition.

If Zhan Kong can return to the Zu family, it seems that Zu Xiangtian will be in deep trouble without Zhan Kong even having to lift a finger.

At this moment, the entire Wulong Island was surrounded by ships, all there to watch the competition, and among them were many voices cheering Zu Xiangtian on.

Above the sky, there were also mages with wings of wind taking pictures from various angles with cameras, which were then projected onto different parts of Xiamen Island.

Available for all who are interested in this matter to watch, on the beach, on the sandy shore where one can only see Wulong Island in the distance.

Towering display screens rose from the ground, like a row of high walls, allowing everyone to view them up close.

In just a few days, the number of visitors to Xiamen Island has increased several times over, bringing economic benefits that have delighted people from all walks of life in Xiamen.

Therefore, they had planned this duel very meticulously.

It's not just about live broadcasting, but also about security. Wulong Island's stability barrier is fully activated, without any concern for resource consumption.

This ensures that the magical power will not be affected, providing everyone with a comfortable viewing experience.

Many social elites also attended, not only high-ranking members of the Xiamen Island Buddhist Association and the academy, but also people from Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Lin'an.

Bai Mo saw Dean Xiao and Feng Zhoulong. This gossip-loving dragon really came to eat melons up close.

The wind on the island was particularly noisy, and the main characters of the contest arrived as scheduled.

"Wow, it's finally starting! I've been standing all night for this front-row beach seat."

"Hey buddy, how did you solve your physiological problems?"

"Buried in the ground, right where you're sitting."

"Hey, just kidding."

Seeing their commotion, someone nearby said, "Quiet down. Aren't you nervous? Bai Mo is going to get beaten up soon."

"What's there to be nervous about? Getting beaten up is good. I like the battle-damaged version."

"Exactly, so what if he lost? Zu Xiangtian is five or six years older than him, yet he calls himself a youth. Aren't he ashamed?"

The man next to him said, "You don't understand. With Bai Mo losing, and Zu Xiangtian manipulating things, his reputation as a benefactor of Gudu Luodu and others will be ruined by Zu Xiangtian."

"What can we do? We can't beat Bai Mo."

On Five Dragon Island, the president of the Egret Island Magic Association, the organizer of this duel, looked at the two young men in front of him and said:

"Before the duel begins, do you have anything to say? As outstanding figures of the younger generation, you should share some of your experiences with everyone."

"Elders should go first, let him go first."

Bai Mo did not refuse and agreed on behalf of both of them. He wanted Lingling and the others to prepare for a while so that the speech would be more effective when it was revealed later.

Anyway, his scandals have already been exposed, and as long as the matter of a certain fairy is not discovered, he doesn't think he has any more scandals.

Zu Xiangtian's expression was unusually interesting upon hearing this. "Elder?"

Damn it, it's hard to argue back, and you have to smile in front of the camera, plus they're all wearing recording equipment.

The audience definitely heard what Bai Mo just said!

In fact, the laughter of netizens online has already covered the screen, meaning he can't see it.

Even though he couldn't see, Zu Xiangtian suddenly froze, taking the microphone handed to him by the president of the Lujiang Island Magic Association.

For a moment, he completely forgot about the prepared remarks he had made! (End of Chapter)
