Full-Time Mage: Starting with Gengar, selected for the National Tournament

Chapter 36 Breakthrough! High-Level Shadow Mage!

"Great, really great!!"

"As expected... skills that don't cost points are the best!"

Chu Ming's lips were full of smiles.

Now that Gengar has mastered spatial powers, it can definitely be called a top-tier shadow and spatial mage.

It's almost impossible for a typical elemental mage to harm it.

As for the curses, shadows, and poisons of the dark magic system.

Gengar has explored almost all of them.

Of the remaining magic systems, the mind magic of white magic and the chaos magic of dimensional magic are considered weaknesses.

The power of the mind is invisible and intangible.

Meditation not only increases Special Attack and Special Defense, but also supplements Gengar's Psychic-type defensive capabilities.

As for the "Gravity" skill.

It is entirely support-oriented, with specific debuff and buff effects.

It counters wind-type attacks and strengthens earth-type attacks.

In this way.

If I form a contract with a Ground-type Pokémon in the future...

Gengar can also play a support role and enhance the damage output.

"The biggest takeaway from this trip was the venue swap!"

Chu Ming's eyes shone brightly as he muttered to himself.

At this moment, in his mind, a great battle involving multiple elves was already being rehearsed.

Exchange venues.

It can be especially effective in chaotic battles.

Because Gengar can exist in another dimension and then act as the brain of the team, transferring information to its companions!

By constantly switching teammates' positions.

One is preparing its ultimate move, while the other is responsible for a high-speed dash.

At a critical moment.

Gengar intervenes, the field is switched, and both sides teleport.

Isn't this just Flying Thunder God?

Chu Ming had a flash of inspiration and became even more excited, telling Gengar his tactical ideas.

"Heh~ Heh heh heh~"

After listening, Gengar shook his head and conveyed his thoughts to Chu Ming.

"Is constant teleportation too energy-intensive, and repeatedly swapping the same target can easily cause spatial collapse, leading to teleportation failure?"

Chu Ming stroked his chin.

It turns out that in the Pokémon world, repeatedly using the Switch ability can easily lead to failure.

Although the rules of power have changed between the two worlds, the rules regarding the limitations of power remain similar.

"It seems that switching sides will have to be done as a surprise tactic."

Chu Ming nodded, calming down.

A thought crossed my mind.

The system interface appeared before my eyes.

"The Three-Step Tower truly lives up to its reputation as a sacred place that everyone yearns for."

Chu Ming looked on with a sigh.

Within these seven days.

He devoted himself to cultivating the Shadow and Fire elements.

The Shadow element has successfully broken through to a higher level.

The fire element has even broken through from the initial stage to the intermediate stage level 3.

This kind of superhuman upgrade.

He still felt very satisfied and accomplished.

Especially the independent breakthrough to higher levels.

As far as he knew, many scions of noble families, once they reached the intermediate level of mage, would try to obtain a Star River Vein to absorb before attempting a breakthrough.

"But the Star River Vein only increases the probability of advancement. With my current body, I can break through without that thing."

Chu Ming's eyes were full of confidence.

Besides having confidence in one's own foundation.

It is also thanks to the abundant environmental resources of Sanbuta.

Unfortunately.

Even the best resources in the Three-Step Tower are not provided in unlimited quantities.

A truly phenomenal, unbelievable speed boost.

Only for the first few days of cultivation.

That speed was nothing short of meteoric.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

It was faster than anyone could imagine.

It happened almost naturally.

Chu Ming was allowed to advance from the intermediate level of the Shadow element to the advanced level.

But afterwards.

Continue meditating.

The concentration of elements in the space also decreases continuously.

He himself seems to have developed some antibodies.

Chu Ming clearly sensed that his cultivation speed was gradually decreasing from the original 300 times to 200 times... and by the last day, it was only about 15 times.

this circumstance occurs.

He was neither alarmed nor surprised.

The dean had given instructions before we came.

Earthly Sacred Spring, Three-Step Pagoda, and other unique cultivation resources often have the best effect in one go.

If you continue to practice, your skill will be greatly diminished.

But even at 15 times.

That's still the efficiency of half a month in one day, which is better than nothing.

And so, after breaking through to the high level in the Shadow element, Chu Ming also gradually broke through to the mid level in the Fire element.

……

The retreat has ended.

Chu Ming walked out of the Three-Step Pagoda with satisfaction.

Through a beast fighting tournament.

Not only did it gain a lot of points, but it also allowed Gengar to undergo Mega Evolution.

They also received an extra reward from the dean.

have to say.

One against the entire system.

This move allowed him to gain entry to the Three-Step Tower, a truly unexpected and huge windfall.

"Junior, it seems you've gained a lot from that!"

"Have you entered the second level?"

They saw Chu Ming come out.

The senior guardian at the entrance walked up with a smile and asked curiously.

"Yes, of course."

Chu Ming smiled and nodded in agreement.

A hint of surprise appeared in the eyes of the two guardian seniors.

He nodded to himself.

Tsk tsk, no wonder the dean allowed him to enter the Three Steps Tower at such a young age.

This guy is definitely not an ordinary mid-level mage!

Although they guard this sacred place of cultivation.

Aside from leading people into the first level, I've never seen the scenery on the second level.

The Three Steps Pagoda is full of wonders.

They only found out by talking to their classmates who had entered the tower multiple times.

Many outstanding senior students have broken through a small realm by using the Three-Step Tower, and when they came out, they were just as satisfied as Chu Ming.

It made them extremely envious.

Chu Ming exclaimed, "The Three-Step Tower is truly miraculous! A few days of cultivation here is equivalent to several months for others."

"My initial fire elemental attack has easily broken through to the intermediate level."

Upon hearing this, the two senior students were filled with envy.

This is not just about advancing to a higher level.

This is a major breakthrough.

Like the two of them, and many other students who spent two years on the main campus, they barely managed to cultivate both awakened systems to the intermediate level.

And this junior, a freshman who has only been enrolled for a few months, is already at the intermediate level in both departments?

Is the difference between people really that big?!
