Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 146 Nomination
The next day.

The morning was bright and clear.

The leaves that fell last night still cover the school's winding paths and gently ripple on the surface of the small lake, creating a unique and melancholic autumn atmosphere.

Mingzhu Academy!

Dean's Office!
"The Lingyin Trial Council and Councilor Zhu Meng have jointly recommended you. Obtaining that spot at the academy will be far too easy for you."

"You can now say that you have three votes, which means you've secured a spot in this year's competition for the world's top universities."

"There are still more than half a year before the opening time, and you have already entered the advanced stage, which is unprecedented in previous years."

"During this time, I will try to secure a spot for you so you can join the official team. Once you're on the National Team, I hope you won't tarnish the reputation of Mingzhu Academy," Dean Xiao said with a smile to Fang Yu.

Fang Yu hadn't expected to collect two votes so quickly.

Not bad, not bad, this year's Pearl Academy has produced a promising student.

"Should we start?"

Fang Yu felt a moment of disorientation when he heard about the World University Competition.

Daydreaming!

Mu Ningxue from the Imperial Capital Academy, Asha Ruiya from the Parthenon Temple, and the dashing military officer Nan Yu…

Gee!

I came, I bear witness!

Seeing Fang Yu lost in thought, Dean Xiao smiled and said, "What's wrong? You're nervous before it even starts?"

"No, I'm just excited!" Fang Yu clenched his fists tightly.

"Good, I like your ambition." Dean Xiao patted Fang Yu on the shoulder.

Dean Xiao was unaware that the two had different understandings.

Otherwise, we'll definitely send Fang Yu back to the drawing board, because that's a place that affects the allocation of international resources.

It's not for picking up girls.

"By the way, in the land of Bashu, I obtained some opportunities, and a winged totem granted me the seed of inheritance."

"I've heard that the academy once acquired a totem feather. I plan to go and see if there's any connection between the two!" Fang Yu said.

Upon hearing this, Dean Xiao froze for a few seconds, his gaze towards Fang Yu filled with something amiss, and said:
"You really are blessed! Totem gifts, such a good thing can only fall into your lap. Well, since you know that the academy possesses totem feathers and want to know more, then come with me."

……

Fang Yu followed Dean Xiao to the Three-Step Tower.

Interestingly.

This time, Dean Xiao did not walk through the cultivation corridor. There was another path in the corridor that Fang Yu had never discovered before, which led straight to another space.

The Three-Step Tower combines earth and space elements, along with a special array. Its builder was a remarkable and powerful mage, so it's not surprising that it contains multiple layers of space.

After a while.

Pushing open a heavy, restricted door, Fang Yu was surprised to find himself in a place filled with bookshelves and antiques, resembling a museum, yet even more solemn, and carrying a kind of oppressive feeling that made one's breathing slow down and become lighter. The displayed items possessed a certain aura!

Fang Yu sighed.

This secret room is full of extraordinary treasures.

There are many fine utensils.

They are called Horcruxes, and Horcruxes are often like living beings, with their own temperaments and characteristics. This is why Fang Yu couldn't help but hold his breath and concentrate when he entered this place.

“Professor Shi, I brought my students over to see that totem feather. This is Fang Yu, an outstanding student from this year’s class.” Dean Xiao walked to a chair, which was empty.

The words were spoken. Only then did Fang Yu realize that there was actually a person lying on a chair in front of him. The darkness obscured his vision, and in the dim light, the person was like a completely transparent ghost, which made Fang Yu secretly marvel.

They didn't even notice the other person's presence when they got this close. Most importantly, the other person didn't use any magic at all; it was purely a quality that came naturally from being immersed in darkness after mastering the Shadow Arts.

"Okay." Professor Shi glanced at Fang Yu, then stopped talking, looking quite languid.

Dean Xiao led Fang Yu inside, and soon they found their destination.

Totem Feather!

A single, incredibly bright feather is displayed in a glass case. Although there is only one feather, it is as large as a feather fan. When the feather is opened, the clear patterns on it can be seen.

These textures immediately gave Fang Yu a sense of familiarity!

Soon, Fang Yu recalled the feather he had obtained at the ancient ruins; its pattern was almost identical…

Fang Yu saw the bottom, where the author's name was listed.

Jiang Shaojun!
A man dedicated to exploring totem ruins sought to find a sacred totem to alleviate the pressure from demons within his kingdom. However, shortly after discovering the most powerful totem ruins, he never returned.

“Since your flame is a totem fire, there might be a connection between the two. Give it a try,” Dean Xiao said, showing his own interest.

Fang Yu's right hand burned with the Nine Heavens Crane Flame, which resembled glass. As it approached the bright red feather, the feather suddenly emitted faint light, which slowly dissipated after a while.

There was a response.

Fang Yu was very excited.

This proves that the feather is not an inanimate object, but rather that it is imbued with totem power.

"It seems you are indeed destined for it. Take it with you; you might need it in the future," Dean Xiao said with a smile.

"Thank you, Dean." Fang Yu did not refuse.

This feather was very important to him.

He also has another unknown totem feather in his contract space; he'll try it out later to see if there's a more intense reaction.

……

After leaving the Three-Step Tower, Fang Yu went to the Ice Academy to check on the progress of Challenge Week.

While the resources from the Three-Step Tower are no longer very effective at higher levels, the fire element is still at a mid-level and can be improved.

There's little chance of cultivating inside the Three-Step Tower before the settlement date.

Fang Yu had clearly been at the Ice Academy for a long time, and he was taken aback when he arrived at the Ice Academy, which was large enough to accommodate a thousand people.

The Ice System University Hall is presented as a tiered seating area, with rows and columns of seats arranged neatly. When Fang Yu entered, the place was bustling with people and noisy.

The week of challenges has begun, and everyone in the Ice Academy is already itching to get started...

Moreover, the number of girls here is ridiculously high. This is incomparable to the previous individual classes in the Space Department.

After a while.

Jiang Tao, the head of the Ice Department, walked in. He had quite an imposing presence, and at that moment, the entire Ice Department classroom, filled with thousands of students, fell silent.

He walked to the podium, his gaze sweeping across the tiered, fan-shaped university hall, looking at the large number of ice-element students.

Without further ado, he immediately started this week's challenge and led the challengers into the arena!

Several instructors from the Ice Academy activated their protective shields, and the challenge began.

Unfortunately, Fang Yu could only accompany him from the audience!

There's no other reason than how lonely it is to be invincible.

Since his strength and performance at the academy became known, no one has challenged him again.
