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

Chapter 41 Bridge of Empty Thoughts

The moment the flames appeared, they dispelled the surrounding chill.

However, a level one fire spell cannot directly block a level two ice spell, but it is effective against ice magic.

Mei Qian has already gained experience in dealing with this from her teacher.

With a flick of her wrist, the ball of fire fell to the ground beneath her feet.

The raging flames spread out beneath their feet, bypassing Zhou Tianyuan and Zhao Qingying, covering the ground like a vibrant carpet.

The chill on the ground was quickly melted away, and the icy tendrils scattered everywhere were turned into water vapor by the scorching flames.

"Tch~" The ice mage curled his lip, not surprised at all; he was just a cover.

It was all just to buy some time for her teammates. As the last wisp of frost was extinguished by the flames, an even more intense heat emanated from a girl to the right of the opposing ice mage.

The girl's eyes also shone with a fiery red light. Her face was solemn, her right palm was raised, and she uttered a solemn low chant.

"Sizzle!"

A fireball the size of a human head answered her call and burst into flames from her palm, sending scorching heat waves outwards.

The frenzied and violent aura was like a bomb that could explode at any moment, and the intense heat was terrifying.

"burst!"

The girl controlled the ball of flame and hurled it towards Mei Qian, who was at the front. The fireball, carrying terrifying heat, roared and crashed towards Mei Qian.

"Wind Track - Drifting Shadow"

The level three Explosive Fire not only has the energy impact of the explosion, but also the subsequent wave of fire, which Water Defense cannot withstand.

Therefore, even though Mei Qian and the other two were protected by the water defense released by Zhou Tianyuan, they were still unable to withstand the incoming fireball.

But Zhao Qingying was still number one: Time released the magic she had prepared long ago, and a rich breath of wind gathered on her body. Stepping on the rapidly flowing wind, she flashed to Mei Qian's side.

"Explode!" With a command from the fire mage on the other side, the fireball exploded three meters away from them, and a violent wave of fire surged in all directions.

But Zhao Qingying had already pulled Mei Qian back to hide. With the ghostly speed of the level three wind rail, the fire wave couldn't catch up with them at all.

However, just as Zhao Qingying was about to reach Zhou Tianyuan's side and help him dodge the attack range of the exploding fire.

The last member of the opposing team and the captain who had just dodged Mei Qian's attack with a ground wave both slammed their hands on the ground.

A rich, earthy yellow light emanated from their hands, which were touching the ground, accompanied by a loud shout:

"Ground waves - slow!"

The ground beneath Zhao Qingying and the others began to shift like quicksand, but this only slightly slowed Zhao Qingying's pace.

But when Zhao Qingying arrived at Zhou Tianyuan's side, the two slow-moving sand forces suddenly converged, forming an even larger vortex of quicksand.

The quicksand vortex moved in the opposite direction to Zhao Qingying, greatly limiting her movement speed. However, with the wind rails attached to her, she was not trapped.

Given just a few seconds, she could quickly lead Mei Qian and Zhou Tianyuan out of this quicksand vortex.

But what they lack right now is time.

They were now on the edge of the explosive attack range. They wouldn't be defeated immediately, but injuries were inevitable.

Although it was a bit of a stretch for three people to fight four, Mei Qian was at least a mid-level mage, so she could be considered one and a half people. However, no one expected that the two earth-type mages on the other side would actually have a combined attack technique.

And it was used at a crucial moment.

Bai Mo certainly couldn't let his teammates get hurt. He only glanced at the raging fire that was rushing towards Zhao Qingying and the other two, threatening to engulf them.

With a barely perceptible ripple in the air, the raging flames abruptly halted, as if they had crashed into an invisible wall, encountering an insurmountable chasm.

"Ugh, you guys are so bad."

Upon hearing Bai Mo's words, both sides in the arena turned grim.

The opposing team felt that their painstakingly crafted combo had been so easily defeated.

Zhao Qingying and the other two felt that although they were physically fine, they were emotionally wounded.

"Isn't it good to let you show off a little?" Zhou Tianyuan didn't care about Bai Mo's words. Having been Bai Mo's deskmate for two years, he had long since developed a heart as hard as a diamond.

Zhou Tianyuan felt that it was the kind of situation that even spiritual sorcerers couldn't handle.

Bai Mo shrugged and continued watching their fight.

Knowing the opponent's trump card, Mei Qian used two lightning seals to take down the ice mage first, and then Zhao Qingying used the speed of wind to entangle between the two earth mages.

Zhao Qingying is following the path of an assassin mage. Although she has no weapon at the moment, she is already quite skilled in some fighting techniques.

For a moment, they actually managed to make the two earth mages on the other side flee in terror.

Zhou Tianyuan then focused on providing defense for Mei Qian, who then engaged in a fire-based duel with the opposing fire mage. Being a fire mage herself, Mei Qian wasn't particularly afraid of the enemy's fire attacks.

Her fire resistance is very strong. Zhou Tianyuan only needs to connect water defense in time to defend against the shock wave of the explosion, and then defend against the sweeping fire wave.

The battle ended quickly.

"We look a bit disheveled. I told you it would be tough for three against four." After stepping off the stage, Bai Mo glanced at the three men's disheveled appearance and shook his head.

"Isn't this part of carrying out Teacher Su's plan to hide your strength?" Zhao Qingying curled her lip, unconvinced. This person was ungrateful for her kindness.

Bai Mo rolled her eyes. "Don't listen to her. What's there to hide? And you can't hide it anyway."

"We just wanted to give it a try," Mei Qian explained, pursing her lips.

"yes."

Glancing at Zhou Tianyuan who was agreeing, Bai Mo spread his hands and said:

"Fine, you guys can do whatever you want."

For some reason, Bai Mo couldn't go to the Sifang Beast Arena with Mu Nujiao the other day, so he arranged to go this afternoon.

After the match, they met up with Mu Nujiao at the school gate, and together with Ai Tutu, the three of them headed to the Four Directions Beast Arena.

On the way, Bai Mo asked:

"By the way, what happened to you guys the other day?"

Upon hearing this, Ai Tutu glanced at Mu Nujiao beside her with a playful smile and chuckled, "Jiaojiao has her period."

"TuTu!" Mu Nujiao's face turned a little awkward upon hearing this. She grabbed Ai TuTu's hand and looked at her reproachfully.

Bai Mo felt something was off, so he became curious and asked:

"A relative? Who?"

"Auntie...mo~" Ai Tutu had just uttered two words with great enthusiasm when Mu Nujiao, who was next to her, covered her mouth.

"Aunt?" Bai Mo's eyes were strange. He glanced at Mu Nujiao, and then immediately knew what it was. He looked Mu Nujiao up and down again.

I didn't see anything wrong. Her tone softened inexplicably as she asked, "Has your period ended, Nujiao?"

"It's alright now." Mu Nujiao knew that Bai Mo knew, so she stopped holding onto Ai Tutu and said indifferently.

Her expression was calm and composed, as if she hadn't been the one who was embarrassed and wanted to teach her friend a lesson just moments before.

Bai Mo also felt a little awkward in the car, so he turned to ask:

"By the way, what kind of rewards are there for this wilderness training?"

"It is said that going to the Bridge of Emptiness will allow every monk who enters to receive something suitable for him."

Bai Mo nodded. He had heard of Kongnian Bridge, which was built by the ancient Wu Kingdom.

To this day, every Shanghai administrator allocates resources to it. Many social celebrities also donate resources to it.

The Empty Bridge is a masterpiece of spatial magic, containing special array spirits that select suitable rewards for those who enter, making it a treasure trove.

However, this building is specifically for training young mages, and each person only has one chance to enter it.

I've heard that once your cultivation reaches the third level of the middle stage, you won't be able to get anything useful anymore.

Because the resources are of suitable quality for beginner and intermediate mages, it has become the place in Shanghai where all high schools reward outstanding students.

"It's a pity it's not the Jing'an Stone Temple, otherwise I could have helped you," Bai Mo said regretfully.

"Is there anything special about the Jing'an Stone Temple?" Mu Nujiao asked curiously. She had already researched the buildings in Shanghai used to train high school students, and they were all useless to intermediate learners.

"Go inside and strike the wooden fish; it can improve your mental strength."

Upon hearing this, the two women suddenly realized.

"Unfortunately, the Jing'an Stone Temple does not sell places to the public, but this effect is perfect for TuTu."

Mu Nujiao sighed. She had heard that people with high mental strength could concentrate better, which might help curb her younger sister's impulsive nature. Ai Tutu, however, didn't seem to care and said:

"It's nothing, maybe we can get something better at the Empty Bridge."

"Come on! If you don't get into the top three, you get nothing." Bai Mo retorted mercilessly.

"Hmph! Jiaojiao and I are the two people with the highest cultivation levels in our grade," Ai Tutu snorted.

Bai Mo rolled his eyes. "Don't wet your pants when you see demons."

"He underestimates us, Jiaojiao, teach him a lesson!"

Mu Nujiao was somewhat helpless. Seeing that they had arrived, she scanned the code and pulled Ai Tutu out of the driverless car.

At the demon-fighting arena, Bai Mo took on the role of safety officer.

Looking at the remote control in my hand, which was less than half the size of my palm.

There are only four buttons: strong, normal, weak, and stun.

He also learned how the security guards switched the demons and knocked them unconscious.

"Let's begin."

Bai Mo said something, then pressed the normal button and hid in a corner.

A yellow toad with a sparrow's head slowly appeared opposite Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu.

Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu are not yet at the second level of the initial stage, so they cannot use the whip and therefore do not have offensive capabilities. They only serve to restrain each other.

The outcome of this battle seems to have been predetermined from the very beginning.

The battle begins.

Faced with the overwhelming demonic aura, both of them were calmer than Bai Mo had imagined.

Having already drawn up the magic, they used it the moment the Sparrow-Headed Yellow Toad awoke.

Mu Nujiao was the first to use magic, and cyan star marks flashed around her.

A blue-silver vortex appeared!

Oh, no, a vine suddenly coiled around and bound the sparrow-headed yellow toad that was about to jump up.

Under Mu Nujiao's command, Ai Tutu seized the opportunity and used her entanglement technique to bind the other foot of the Sparrow-Headed Yellow Toad with vines.

The vines, as thick as an arm, effectively restrained the demon.

The two humans and the demon stared at each other.

The demon roared, "Quack!!!!!"

The two women panicked and quickly began to draw the second star trail.

However, the demon's physical strength was formidable, and these restraints were only extremely temporary. The Yellow Toad with the Sparrow Head simply mustered all its strength and snapped the vines that were binding it in two with immense force.

"Croak!!!"

Then, with an angry and unpleasant cry, it stomped heavily on the ground with its two long legs, kicking up countless stones, and charged menacingly towards the two.

The long, scarlet, sticky tongue had already extended.

It looks like as soon as the distance gets a little closer, they'll grab someone and have a snack!

The two women could unleash their magic in about three seconds, so this attack was unstoppable.

So Bai Mo immediately reached out and slapped the bird-headed yellow toad that leaped into the air.

He slammed it into the ground and then stunned it. These demons were all property of the Four Directions Demon Fighting Hall.

If it's possible to avoid killing, it's best not to.

Ai Tutu, who was still somewhat frightened by the ferocious appearance of the sparrow-headed yellow toad, immediately exclaimed upon seeing this scene:

"Great Wilderness Cloud-Dispelling Palm!!"

Bai Mo: (￢д￢。)

Mu Nujiao: (-_)?

Ai TuTu: (^O^)
