Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death

How could Xu Fang know whether this purplish-red bead would open a treasure trove or a battlefield of carnage?

Someone tried to strike up a conversation with him, the first-place winner, but seeing his serious expression, no one spoke up in the end.

Not long after, with the sound of footsteps, several instructors came to the group.

Xu Fang noticed that Lin Jiaming was also among them. At this moment, he was completely different from the excited man he had been that day, and stood with a stern face like a pine tree.

"Everyone, gather!"

"Count!"

After counting the number of participants, the lead instructor stepped forward and began to summarize the assessment, praising several military mages who had stood out and expressing that the Forbidden Army would always welcome them in the future.

The person being praised had a smile that looked more like a grimace.

They're not stupid; how could they not understand? This wasn't a compliment at all; it was clearly telling them that the Forbidden City Army was doomed!

"Alright, that concludes the summary. We're all military mages, so let's skip the formalities."

The lead instructor took a folder from his comrade beside him: "Now, I will read out the list of selected members of the Forbidden City Army!"

"First place, Qin Zheng!"

Upon hearing the name, not only were others bewildered, but Qin Zheng himself was also completely dumbfounded, instinctively glancing in Xu Fang's direction.

What's going on? Aren't I ranked third?

Although my mind was blank, my muscles still remembered, and I instinctively took a step forward: "Here!"

"The Forbidden City Army's Wild Wolf Squad!"

"Yes!"

"Second place, Dong Kai!"

"To!"

"The Forbidden City Army Scout Battalion!"

"Yes!"

"Third place..."

Even after reading to the very end, Xu Fang and Jiang Shaoxu's names were still not mentioned.

Among the instructors, Lin Jiaming narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression neither disdain nor regret.

"Captain!" a military mages beside him said anxiously.

"Don't worry," Lin Jiaming said calmly. "He will come one day. He and I are the same kind of people, I can tell."

······

The Forbidden City Army's reward wasn't particularly generous, a mere million yuan in cash, far less than the preliminary round in the Lintong Military Region.

But no one found it strange, because in their eyes, joining the Forbidden City Army was the greatest reward.

Qinling.

On the riverbank, where Jiang Shaoxu was using his mind to catch fish, Xu Fang sat cross-legged, already in a meditative state.

He put the purple bead away; Xu Fang had no intention of using this "key" to open the door to an unfamiliar dimension.

His mind was now focused on the sparring match in two weeks. With a formidable opponent like Ai Jiangtu, the rare sense of urgency spurred him on.

spiritual world.

Within the ice nebula, golden stars were leisurely roaming, absorbing streams of magical energy and then releasing them out with even greater force.

With a thought, Xu Fang caused the blue ring of the golden star to begin to shine.

The native inhabitants of these nebulae are colluding with invading robbers to make them even richer—it's a rather hellish joke when you think about it.

The stars and rings echo each other, their light resonating.

First, a golden star map appeared beside Xu Fang, followed by a gradual surge of icy blue light that coated the golden light with a mesmerizing gemstone luster.

The temperature plummeted.

The snowflakes, like willow catkins dancing in the wind, fluttered and swirled in the gray air.

Not far away on the lake, pairs of bulging eyes quietly rose from the water, their huge and smooth bodies making one's sanity drop wildly.

Poisonous Water Frog, a type of demon in the Qinling Mountains, lives in groups and its strength is usually at the level of a Great Servant.

It is usually ruled by a warrior-level leader who likes to use slime to stick to his opponents and then lay eggs on them to reproduce the next generation.

With the weather getting colder, prey are either hibernating or ending up in the bellies of other predators.

The group of poisonous water frogs needs a good boost of nutrition to fatten up for winter and get through the winter smoothly.

Xu Fang, whose body was surging with magical energy, was their best target.

"Quack! Quack! Quack!"

Accompanied by the chaotic croaking of frogs, jets of dark green, foul-smelling water, trailing sticky white threads, shot straight toward Xu Fang.

When hit by a poisoned water arrow, the prey's wound will be corroded, and the toxin will enter its body.

Because of their speed and stealth, many sorcerers often fall victim to their tricks.

However, the poisonous water frogs, repeating their old tricks, were unaware that clusters of tiny will-o'-the-wisps were already flickering on their bodies as they swam closer.

"You dare to show off your meager skills before an expert?"

"Use your blood to sharpen my new skill!"

Beside Xu Fang, an intricate star map was rapidly drawn, its blue light shimmering with golden hues.

"Come here!"

The light, fluttering snowflakes instantly turned into heavy, downy snow, pouring down from the sky.

The ground, including the waters where the poisonous frogs lived, was completely covered by silvery-white snow, leaving only a vast expanse of white.

The foul-smelling water jets had long since been covered in frost and disappeared.

"Croak, croak, croak—!!!"

The snow suddenly loosened, and a bottomless snow pit swallowed a poisonous water frog whole.

Immediately afterwards, another icy spring erupted, freezing another poisonous water frog into a statue.

What was once a pristine, icy landscape has now become a ruthless executioner, with biting winds and suddenly appearing ice spikes mercilessly reaping the lives of demons.

The poisonous frogs instinctively sensed the danger and tried to escape one after another.

"Quack!!!"

Suddenly, its foot slipped, and a poisonous water frog crashed hard onto the smooth ice, followed by a swarm of its companions.

When all the frogs had dispersed, only one frog pancake remained on the spot.

"This is awesome!"

Xu Fang was excited, never expecting that he, a mere mid-level mage, would have the opportunity to comprehend the wonders of domain skills.

It's important to know that domains have always been the exclusive domain of high-level mages who possess soul seeds!

"Seeing how much fun the poisonous frogs are having, let's name this trick 'Ice and Snow Paradise'!"

With a wave of his hand, four colorless ice chains, like venomous snakes flicking their tongues, accompanied the playing frogs.

—The ticket isn't expensive; it's just a matter of life and death.

From an outsider's perspective, the sky over Xu Fang's area was gray and gloomy, and the joyful, pitiful cries of the poisonous water frogs before their death were shattered by the biting cold wind.

When the gray fog dissipated, what remained was a world covered in silver.

Xu Fang stood on a crystal-clear ice sculpture, a smile on his lips, his blond hair flowing in the wind; anyone would have to call him handsome.

But upon closer inspection, a horrifying discovery becomes apparent: beneath the ice crystals, a symbol of purity, lies a gruesome corpse...
