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

Chapter 87 Spatial Reversal

"When does the competition for this spot begin?" Bai Mo asked.

"Three months later."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Mo asked again, "What is Bai Hanxing's cultivation level now?"

"Lightning and wind elements are both at the advanced level of perfection."

"Wow, he's so fast!"

"It's been three years."

"Yes, does he have a spot?"

"not yet."

"Give it to him," Bai Mo said decisively.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuanzhi nodded with satisfaction, and then added, "By the time you arrive, the source of the family's fixed quota will also be ready."

"Tch, Patriarch Bai, stop making empty promises. What kind of attribute is that source?"

"A rare, pure source of magic, without any attributes," Bai Yuanzhi said casually, then glanced at him. "You're on the Black Church's list, at the very bottom, but you'd better stay away from the wilderness."

"Who wants to guard against thieves all day long? Why don't you let Bai Hanxing become my bodyguard after he reaches the next level?" Bai Mo suggested. He needed spiritual essence and couldn't avoid going to the wilderness.

"If you're so capable, talk to him yourself."

The head of the Bai family remained expressionless, casually remarking before taking out a bracelet strung with silver beads from a box under the table and gesturing for Bai Mo to take it.

"What is this?"

"I had the strange bone you sent back forged into this magical artifact. Each bead on it contains a teleportation ability. There are thirty-six beads in total. Once this magical artifact is used up, it will be useless."

He smacked his lips and put it away, even though he felt he might not need it.

"Are you alright now? If you're alright, I'm leaving, Ao."

After asking a question, Bai Mo saw the Bai family head wave his hand and left the study, returning to his own room. Bai Mo then began to guide the essence within the vessel of the dead.

One servant-level and eight warrior-level, three of whom were killed by the Spirit Sound Rat.

One warrior can be used as six servant-level spirits. Bai Mo used them all, leaving one servant-level spirit.

Opening his eyes, Bai Mo looked at Feng Ling beside him and asked for feedback. Feng Ling seemed very excited this time and poured out one-fifth of the water in the bottle.

The rest of the time will be spent cultivating.

The next day, after returning to school and receiving a notification from the Institute of Extraordinary People that he was permitted to enter, Bai Mo went to the main campus and arrived at the Institute of Extraordinary People according to the address.

After showing the old man at the door his QR code for entry, Bai Mo was immediately led away by a young man with a cat tail behind him. He said that Dean Fu was looking for him, and Bai Mo followed him.

The young man looks like he has some connection with cats, but he is very strong and has fierce eyes.

According to him, he was sold to a human magic laboratory, and was only rescued after the laboratory was discovered.

After he was released, he had nowhere to go because of his unique appearance, and it was Mingzhu Academy that took him in.

Upon arriving at Dean Fu's office, two men dressed in black, their faces solemn and dignified, stood behind him. Not far from them, a boy, bound hand and foot, stood trembling with fear. Seeing Mao Bao bring Bai Mo, he smiled gently.

"Bai Mo, right? I'm very grateful that you were able to fulfill the Kitchen God's request. I'm on my way to investigate and punish the corrupt officials who abused their power to expel students from the academy. You can come along and witness this for me."

After Fu Jiaming finished speaking, he glanced at the bound boy again. "Mao Bao, you take Yun Kong to Mingzhu Cemetery and guard the graves for three years. Reflect on your actions and don't be so unable to distinguish right from wrong again!"

"Yes, Dean." Mao Bao responded respectfully, leading the bound boy out.

After that, Bai Mo quietly followed behind Dean Fu, listening to him talk about the Academy of Extraordinary People, the abilities of some of the extraordinary people, and their backgrounds.

Soon they arrived at an office and easily caught an old man, listening to Dean Fu's scathing rebuke.

Bai Mo then realized that this person was the so-called Dean Li.

The arrest and interrogation went exceptionally smoothly. Dean Li seemed to know he would be abandoned and explained his motives and plans very clearly.

What happened next was beyond Bai Mo's control. The dormitory was getting noisy, so Bai Mo decided to go back to the Bai family to cultivate.

When Bai Mo opened his eyes again, it was already noon the next day. He sat at the dining table at home and became interested in the conversation between the Bai family head and his mother.

"Does anyone from the Bai family work in the Coast Guard?" Zhuang Xingyan asked with a frown as she savored the dishes she had made, summarizing her experience.

"There are two middle-level ones." The Bai family head also frowned slightly. Even after eating for so many years, he could still taste strange flavors in the dishes his wife made that he had never tasted before.

Zhuang Xingyan put down her bowl; she was on a diet and only needed a couple of bites. Hearing this, she said:

"Zhuang Yue was removed from his position as deputy minister of the Coast Guard. He caused considerable trouble for the Zhuang family, and some people were not very satisfied with him. However, he shifted all the blame to his secretary and barely managed to retain his status as a member of parliament."

"Zhuang Yue." The Bai family head chewed on the name. This person was a councilor of the Zhuang family in the Eastern Mage Tower, and also held the important position of deputy minister of the Coastal Defense Department.

He was a plaything of power, but he was also an opportunist who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Even though he was related to the Zhuang family by marriage, Zhuang Yue still caused the Bai family a lot of trouble.

I never expected to be dismissed.

The head of the Bai family began to ponder the matter, and casually put down the bowl in his hand, saying, "I'm going to the study to make some arrangements."

He then got up and left.

Bai Mo's eyes flickered. It seemed that this person had been punished, but still retained his status as a councilor. After all, he was a top-level mage, and his strength was undeniable.

Bai Mo informed Zhou Tianyuan and the others about the investigation into Dean Li, and Zhou Tianyuan said they were already aware of it. Dean Fu had also specifically spoken to them about it.

Next, Jiufeng Mountain entered a state of full combat readiness and stopped recruiting social monks. Bai Mo's life returned to studying and cultivating.

On Sunday, Bai Mo ran out of Wind Spirit Seeds in his space, so he went out and bought two more. He also watched the regional elimination matches of the Mu Nu Jiao team. Afterwards, the three of them stopped at a milk tea shop, ordered three drinks, and Bai Mo asked about the plant seeds.

"Plant species? Why are you asking that?" Ai Tutu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I planted a powerful plant-based totem in the yard, wondering if it might have plant species that could be of help to you."

Bai Mo looked at the two of them and spoke truthfully.

"Totem? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before." Ai Tutu scratched her face, quickly stopping herself from dwelling on the question and instead saying cheerfully, "Wasn't I amazing just now? I knocked that water mage down with one whip!"

"It seems to me that you initially went for the Thunder Mage on the left, who was closer. You just missed the mark. Go back and practice some more." Bai Mo pointed out the inaccuracies in her words without any mercy, then turned his gaze to Mu Nujiao and asked, "Jiaojiao, do you know anything about plant species?"

Mu Nujiao glanced at him, nodded, her gaze sweeping over his wrist, before explaining her knowledge of plant species to Bai Mo.

"Like ordinary elemental species, plant species are also born from pure and rich plant elements. However, unlike elemental species that are naturally grown, plant species develop intelligence once they appear. They either transform into human form or attach themselves to powerful plant demons."

Therefore, every plant seed could be a powerful plant demon. Some might truly be their seeds, while others might be the plant itself.

"You said you planted a powerful plant-based totem. I think if its plant elements are pure and concentrated enough, it can condense into plant seeds, but it would at least have to reach the level of a Grand Ruler."

After listening to Mu Nujiao's words, Bai Mo understood. He took a sip of lemonade and casually asked, "Do you have any formidable opponents this year?"

"Yes, there's a fire mage at Mingzhu High School who knows intermediate-level Fierce Fist. He's really annoying." Ai Tutu immediately raised her hand and named someone.

"The Fierce Fist does counter my Kun Forest, but Lulu already knows Thunderclap, so we don't need to be afraid of him." Mu Nujiao took a sip of orange juice, her tone calm.

Every team with a mid-level mage is not to be underestimated. As long as their talent isn't as monstrous as Bai Mo's, the gap is too large. In her opinion, as long as the right method is found, they are not invincible.

After chatting for a while, Bai Mo returned to Mingzhu Academy.

Zhou Tianyuan and Zhang Yuan both felt that they were still struggling in the wild. Zhou Tianyuan planned to break through to the intermediate level of the ice element and then accompany Bai Molang later.

Zhang Yuan went away for a while, and when he returned, he began to study seriously. According to him, he had never been exposed to much of the healing magic before, and he only knew how to use magic in a template-like way. So he needed to make up for his shortcomings and also master mind magic.

The following day, after a week of playing, it was time for Bai Mo to attend his professional classes.

Sitting alone in the empty classroom, Bai Mo waited for his teacher, Xiao Jun, who was teaching the fundamentals of spatial theory.

Do you read fantasy novels?

Xiao Jun's first question left Bai Mo somewhat bewildered, but he still nodded.

"Very good." Xiao Jun continued, "In my opinion, the space-based cultivators are not much different from the sword cultivators in fantasy novels."

"The foundation of spatial magic is telekinesis. We control space with our own will. The stronger the will, the stronger the power of spatial magic."

"When a spatial mage has enough faith in their will and spirit, just like a swordsman in a novel believes in their sword, the power of spatial magic can be maximized. It is not impossible to even transcend spiritual realms, exert the power of the third realm at the second realm, and the power of the fourth realm at the third realm."

Hearing Xiao Jun's words, Bai Mo recalled his own combat experiences and couldn't help but nod in agreement. Xiao Jun continued speaking.

"Don't let basic telekinetic magic confine you. Thoughts are ever-changing! So too are spatial magic: area attacks, targeted kills, control, and defense—let your thoughts do as you please."

Xiao Jun paused here, then said, "However, all of this still requires a foundation in spiritual power. What you need is the will! By the way, what is your current spiritual power level?"

"I just reached the fourth realm a few days ago," Bai Mo said casually, expecting Xiao Jun to be shocked, or at least surprised.

However, Xiao Jun simply nodded and said calmly, "Not bad, keep up the good work."

Then she continued talking.

"Next, I'll briefly talk about intermediate-level spatial magic, which happens to be your intermediate-level spatial magic right now. But I'll need to demonstrate it for you first, let's go to the arena."

As she spoke, silver star charts of the spatial system appeared around her. When she finished speaking, a massive spatial constellation enveloped the two of them.

As the silver dust gradually settled, the two people inside the room appeared in an empty arena a hundred meters away.

"The intermediate-level spatial magic, Spatial Rhythm, consists of compression, time delay, and inversion."

Xiao Jun explained clearly: "These correspond to the four applications of spatial power by spatial mages."

"The first one is spatial gravity. It exists in spatial compression and in time-delay domains. As for the third level, inversion, it requires a very strong ability to control space, so very few mages can cast it. Therefore, this spell often becomes a pure gravity domain."

"No matter what it is, entering this area will make movement difficult due to the suppression of spatial gravity. Therefore, the third-level spatial rhythm used by some people will become gravity itself!"

After saying that, Xiao Jun glanced at Bai Mo and continued, "Since you've broken through to the middle realm now, controlling the reversal shouldn't be a problem for you."

"Spatial inversion allows space-based mages to control the interchange of spatial positions. Let me demonstrate it for you."

As Xiao Jun spoke, purple flames suddenly appeared in her eyes. She clenched her fist, raised her wrist, and unleashed a fierce purple flame fist that struck towards the empty space ahead.

Sensing the power of that fierce punch, Bai Mo judged that it was probably not a spirit seed. He kept his eyes fixed on Xiao Jun's movements without asking anything, trusting that Xiao Jun, who was teaching, wouldn't do anything meaningless.

At that moment, the light in Xiao Jun's eyes instantly turned into an indistinct chaos. She just stood there, without making any movement.

But the fierce fist, which was about to fly a hundred meters away, suddenly changed direction and the scorching fist tip came straight at her.

"Watch closely!"

Xiao Jun glanced at Bai Mo, indicating that what followed was the important part.

Bai Mo nodded, watching intently. He also wanted to know how space reversal worked. The magic book described this skill very briefly, saying it was just space reversal, but it described space gravity much more in detail.

Xiao Jun, who was standing straight in front of her, raised his hand, and a silver star map suddenly appeared in front of her.

A silvery glow scattered from the star map, covering a large area of ​​space.

As the surging fist burst into this space, the raging flames suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then turned around and blasted back in the direction it came from.

"Reversing the direction of an incoming attack is a basic application of spatial inversion. Next, I will show you some more advanced techniques."

As they spoke, another silver star map flashed, followed by a burst of silver light. Xiao Jun vanished abruptly, and a flame appeared in her place—the very same fiery fist. She, on the other hand, suddenly appeared where the fiery fist had been.

She had suddenly switched places with her own magic!

Dispelling his magic, Xiao Jun looked at Bai Mo and asked, "Did you understand?"
