Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

Of course, this idea can only remain an idea.

If it were really that easy, would the mages of the Hunter's Alliance still need to hunt monsters in the perilous wilderness? Wouldn't it be better to just search for vampires?

Meanwhile, the Qingtian Hunting Grounds also received a commission, which was naturally to protect Mo Fan.

Tang Yue had also contacted Mo Fan, instructing him to contact the Black Vatican first if he noticed any members of the Black Vatican.

However, these were not things that Cao Le cared about.

He went directly to Mingzhu Academy and told the school that he wanted to go to the Three-Step Tower to cultivate.

Dean Xiao looked at Cao Le and then suggested, "Your Shadow element seems to have just broken through to the second level not long ago. If you go in now, it would be better to wait until you are about to touch the third-level nebula. That would be the best time."

“Dean Xiao, I know your good intentions. However, I am not entering the Three-Step Tower to break through to the Shadow element,” Cao Le replied.

Even if he were to enter the Three-Step Tower now, his Shadow magic would indeed have little chance of breaking through to the third level. After all, while the Three-Step Tower has abundant magical energy, it's not a cheat code. If entering guaranteed a level increase, would Pearl Academy still only rank second in China?

But the reason he wanted to enter the Three-Step Tower was because his spatial abilities had been at the first level for a long time!

However, improving spatial abilities is extremely difficult.

Therefore, Cao Le thought of using the Three-Step Tower to make a breakthrough!

"Oh? So, your second system is about to break through?" Dean Xiao was also taken aback.

It's already quite remarkable to have a mid-level magic department in the Qing Campus.

Unexpectedly, Cao Le's second lineage is also about to break through!

If he knew that Cao Le's second system was the space system, and that he was going to enter the tower to break through to the second level of the space system, he would probably be surprised again.

After all, cultivating spatial magic is clearly more difficult than cultivating any other type of magic.

To be able to improve so quickly in such a short period of time without any backing is something that Cao Le would be considered extremely rare even on the international stage.

"Correct."

After learning what had happened, Dean Xiao didn't ask Cao Le what his second major was. He nodded and said, "Alright then. I'll apply for it for you now, but it will take some time. You should stay at the school and focus on your cultivation for now."

Actually, the school shouldn't have given Sanbu Tower this opportunity. After all, they traded away the credit.

However, since no one had died, the school decided to grant Cao Le's request.

In fact, Dean Xiao was also shocked when he learned that Cao Le had single-handedly defeated the Scaled Demon Mother. Most importantly, no one had seen any summoned dark creature that day!

Based on this point alone, Dean Xiao felt that Cao Le should indeed receive some preferential treatment.

More importantly, when he and Mo Fan arrived here, Zhan Kong even sent a letter to Dean Xiao.

The Three-Step Tower is located on the main campus of Pearl Academy, and it is among the important resources that the Pearl elites on the main campus are constantly vying for!

The Three-Step Tower, like the Sacred Spring of Bo City, has a long history. It is a very special magical building constructed by our ancestors with the wisdom of the people, capable of gathering the scattered and drifting elemental energy between heaven and earth in one place.

Originally, the school stipulated that only students who entered the main campus and performed exceptionally well there would be qualified to enter the Three-Step Tower for cultivation. Cao Le was clearly an exception, and of course, he wasn't the only exception.

Mo Gouzi also got this opportunity in the freshman competition.

Actually, the real exception is Gouzi. If it weren't for his extortion this time, the Three-Step Tower would still be none of his business.

The Three-Step Tower presents a perfectly symmetrical three-dimensional triangle. Its exterior appears to be made of silver metal, and it stands upright, making it particularly eye-catching in the main campus.

Dean Xiao did not enter with Cao Le, but led him to the steps and said, "This is your first time here, so it is most suitable for you to cultivate on this level... Don't bite off more than you can chew."

Cao Le nodded and replied, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Dean Xiao."

After Dean Xiao finished his introduction and left, Cao Le began to ascend the steps...

66. The Three-Step Tower (Part Two)

He was not unfamiliar with the Three-Step Tower.

So what Dean Xiao just said was practically ignored by him. He didn't take it to heart at all...

As Cao Le climbed the stairs, he felt his magical energy being depleted!

It was indeed quite fast, and the gravity was so strong that it made it difficult to breathe.

Most importantly, the rate at which magical energy is consumed is extremely fast...

Even so, Cao Le's pace did not slow down; instead, he accelerated and sprinted upwards.

Upon reaching the first platform, the space-based nebula's magical energy was reduced by half!

With his blue tube thick and clear enough, and his mental strength strong enough, he didn't kneel down right away.

Then, he immediately began climbing up to the second level in one go.

He didn't even intend to experience the pleasure of magical energy flowing into his body on the first floor.

Every second counts!

The faster the cultivation, the better, of course, is to go to the higher levels.

The gravity on the second level is even more terrifying, and it consumes a huge amount of magic energy!

When they reached the second level, the space-type nebula was nearly depleted, and the shadow-type nebula was also more than half depleted...

Upon reaching the second level, Cao Le realized that his current physical strength was insufficient to continue the sprint, so he immediately began to meditate.

Cultivating within the tower on the second level, coupled with a significant boost to his own abilities, Nebula's cultivation speed reached almost 160 times!

Even when cultivating in the Earthly Sacred Spring, he did not experience such pleasure.

A day passed quickly, and because the nebula in the space system received ample care here, it was already showing signs of expanding towards the second level.

However, it seems that it still lacks just a tiny bit of help.

Of course, Cao Le did not stop at this level to continue cultivating and breaking through. Instead, he made a concerted effort to rush towards the third level.

His spiritual realm had already reached the fourth level of relationship. When we first met, apart from me being able to deplete my energy quickly, I didn't experience any major discomfort.

When you reach about a third of the way up, you start to feel something new. With each step you climb, it feels like a lead weight is strapped to your head, and that heaviness intensifies your mental anguish.

Even so, Cao Le showed no sign of stopping.

As I approached the platform, the mental gravity continued to increase, my head grew heavier and heavier, and I felt increasingly uncomfortable, as if it were about to be completely crushed.

And this seems to be the limit of what he can endure.

Fortunately, no more painful sensations followed, and he was already standing on the third-level platform.

Here, the speed at which the nebula was improving was almost three hundred times!

One day of cultivation here is almost equivalent to more than half a year outside!

Cao Le has always been someone who knows how to seize opportunities. Feeling the hundredfold magical energy surging into his body, he immediately channeled it into the nebula of the space system.

Although he had considered focusing on magic as his major.

But...

Whether it's the Shadow or Space element, from his perspective, they're almost the same as the main element!

Although one major and one minor can make you stronger quickly.

However, that kind of power is not true power!

Just like the Shadow element, once it is countered by a mage with excellent Light element, its combat power is suppressed for no reason.

While it's true that progress is slower when cultivating together, once you've grown up, things will be completely different.

But everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

If students majoring in two different departments rely entirely on themselves for resources, they'll likely end up being weaker and weaker than each other...

But as a reborn man, how reckless must he have been to get to that point?

Cao Le, who had great confidence in himself, still felt that cultivating both systems at the same time was the right thing to do.

Cultivating spatial abilities is extremely difficult, so he certainly couldn't give up such a good opportunity.

A large amount of magical energy poured into the nebula, and in just one day, the space-type nebula expanded to the second level!

In fact, he wasn't even someone who had just advanced; he had actually helped Nebula expand further!

The next day, Cao Le practiced the Shadow element.

However, this hundredfold influx of magical energy doesn't seem to happen every day.

It felt like it had shrunk by half by the second day...

Even so, these two days of training are already equivalent to a year of training outside!

This year's resources could save him so much money! The scions of powerful families possess abundant resources, while he possesses the Three-Step Tower, a cheat code.

Day three...

Day 4...

...

As expected, by the sixth day, the rate of increase in magical energy had only dropped to about thirty times.

Compared to the expected situation.

It's still beautiful.

At least, he not only broke through to the second level of the intermediate stage in the space system, but even his two nebulae felt like they were about to enter the third stage.

It is said that the path of cultivation is long and arduous, and that is indeed true. If one were to cultivate without any resources or assistance, a normal person would probably only be able to reach the intermediate level of magician at most after a lifetime of cultivation, and would be unable to advance any further. It is these rare and precious natural treasures and unique resources that allow magicians to reach a higher level even when they already possess extraordinary talent.

This trip to the Three Steps Pagoda, lasting only seven days, is equivalent to several years of arduous training outside without any resources!

This is even with his cultivation speed being boosted by cheating.

Otherwise, if he were to live like a normal person, it would be equivalent to more than ten years!

The Three Steps Pagoda is truly a place of indescribable wonder.

If it weren't for the school's strict seven-day rule, not allowing even a minute more, he would have liked to stay here in seclusion for a year or two...

After leaving the Three-Step Pagoda, Cao Le felt refreshed and invigorated. Without realizing it, he even felt a sense of a grandmaster!

This is only a mid-level mage. I wonder what it will feel like to reach the high-level or super-level?

That day is not far away!
