Random Treasure Chests in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 27 The Three-Step Tower, the Hunter Master

The day after killing the Scaled Demon Mother, Dean Xiao summoned Bai Feng and the other two to the main conference hall to praise them to the whole school and gave them some rewards.

Zhao Manyan obtained the title, Bai Feng asked Dean Xiao for the right to use the Three-Step Tower for three days, and Mo Fan asked Dean Xiao for a shield magic tool.

After the commendation ceremony, Dean Xiao called Bai Feng and Mo Fan to his office.

"It took so long to gather all the resources and convert them into resources you can use. The reason I sent you here is to hand them over to you." Dean Xiao didn't beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of sending Bai Feng and Mo Fan.

"clear."

"Hmm, these are all spirit-level magical artifacts, the best of the best from the academy's treasury. Take a look and see if there's anything useful for you." Dean Xiao waved his hand, and several magical artifacts appeared on the table.

"Could we exchange all of it for cultivation time in the Three-Step Tower?" Bai Feng lacked nothing, so he could only discuss with Dean Xiao the resources that would be useful to him.

"Hmm... okay, I'll exchange four days for you, making it seven days in total." Dean Xiao pondered for a moment before saying to Bai Feng.

"Okay, thank you very much, Dean Xiao." Bai Feng bowed and expressed his gratitude.

"Yes, it was earned through your own efforts," Dean Xiao said with a kind smile.

"I'll take this magic shoe," Mo Fan said to Dean Xiao, pointing to one of the magic shoes called the Blood Beast Boots.

"Hehe, you know your stuff. Once activated, these Blood Beast Boots will give you the strength of a warrior general with each kick. They're very useful for both escaping and attacking." Dean Xiao smiled and handed the Blood Beast Boots to Mo Fan.

After Dean Xiao handed over these resources to the two of them, Bai Feng immediately applied to Dean Xiao for the right to use the Three-Step Tower.

"Oh? You're going now? I suggest you wait until you hit a bottleneck before going in," Dean Xiao advised Bai Feng.

"I've run into her right now," Bai Feng lied slightly.

"Alright, then I'll take you there." Dean Xiao led Bai Feng toward the Three-Step Pagoda.

The Three-Step Tower is located on the main campus of Pearl Academy, and the elite students on the main campus are constantly vying for the right to use the Three-Step Tower.

The Three-Step Tower, with its long history, is a unique magical building constructed by our ancestors, capable of gathering scattered and drifting elemental energies from the world into one place.

Elemental energy is everywhere. The reason why spirit seeds are born is because they are gradually evolved over the years in a place where elemental and magical energy are particularly concentrated. The location and structure of the Three-Step Tower can gather energy from a radius of several thousand meters. Imagine how rich the elemental energy would be if thousands of meters of elemental energy from several thousand years were gathered in one building, and how fast the cultivation speed would be.

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." The two men waiting at the entrance of the Three Steps Tower bowed respectfully upon seeing Dean Xiao.

"It's your turn to be on duty today. I've already had someone check the permit for you. You can take this student in," Dean Xiao said.

"Come with me, I'll tell you what to do." The guardian led Bai Feng into the Three-Step Tower.

Bai Feng followed him inside, where a long passage with a metallic sheen appeared.

"The Three-Step Tower has many layers of space, and the energy concentration that can be condensed in each layer is different. Junior brother, you are a mid-level mage, so you can only cultivate on the first and second layers at most. If you go any higher, you may be overwhelmed by the energy and die," the gatekeeper reminded Bai Feng.

The two continued walking forward, and a staircase appeared ahead.

The staircase looked incredibly impressive because it consisted of only one set of steps, suspended in the dim light ahead, leading to a geometrically striking triangular platform higher up in the darkness.

"I can only take you this far. You'll have to climb the stairs yourself," the gatekeeper said.

"Okay, thank you, senior."

After the gatekeeper disappeared from sight, Bai Feng began to climb the ladder.

The steps were very sturdy. Bai Feng had no idea what force supported them, but they were indeed suspended in those places, and they didn't budge even when stepped on.

At first, it went smoothly without any obstacles... until I was halfway up the stairs when I started to feel a little uncomfortable.

As you climb higher, your body feels heavier and heavier...

This is because magic energy is being consumed; some kind of formation is at work in this three-step tower. Climbing the steps consumes magic energy.

Bai Feng quickened his pace, rushing up to the first platform in one go, and advancing towards the second platform.

Upon reaching the second level, Bai Feng sensed the elemental energy there. "Hmm, it's eighty times stronger than the outside elemental energy. The third level should be one hundred and twenty times stronger. Let's keep pushing!"

With that, Bai Feng rushed towards the steps to the third level. "Phew~ I almost couldn't make it up. Hmm, it really is 120 times stronger, it's almost solidified!"

After experiencing the sensations, Bai Feng sat cross-legged in the center and began cultivating.

On the first day, Bai Fengbing reached the peak of the second level of the intermediate stage.

The next day, Bai Fengbing reached the third level of the intermediate stage.

On the third day, Bai Fenglei reached the first level of the intermediate stage.

On the fourth day, Bai Feng's curse system reached the intermediate level one.

On the fifth day, Bai Feng's summoning skill reached the intermediate level two.

On the sixth day, the elemental energy in the third layer had increased fortyfold.

On the seventh day, Bai Feng's summoning skills also reached the intermediate level three.

Stepping out of the Three-Step Tower, Bai Feng stretched lazily, looking refreshed.

Bai Feng didn't go to the classroom to listen to the lecture. After all, he had been spending a lot of time in the library recently and had learned almost everything he needed to know. He didn't have the mind to listen to the tutor explain it again.

Bai Feng walked straight out of the school gate and arrived at Qingtian Hunting Grounds. After entering the Qingtian Hunting Grounds, he found only Leng Qing wearing a maid apron and making coffee behind the bar.

"Sister Leng Qing, are you the only one in the office? Everyone else has gone out?" Bai Feng came behind the bar and picked up the coffee that Leng Qing had just made and started drinking it.

Leng Qing tapped Bai Feng's head with those spoons. After all, Bai Feng had been here for so long, and she had seen his thick skin firsthand.

"Grandpa went out for a walk, and everyone else went to do their tasks." Leng Qing finished making another cup of tea, took off her apron, and sat down to the side.

"After you finish drinking, there's an A-level bounty. Go do it. After you finish it, you should be able to advance to Hunter Master." Leng Qing took out a document and handed it to Bai Feng.

"Really? Let me take a look first. If it's too much trouble, I won't go. I'll stay here and keep Sister Leng Qing company. It's not easy for Sister Leng Qing to get a day off," Bai Fengkou said.

Leng Qing rolled her eyes. She knew this kid all too well: shameless, a smooth talker, and a lazy bum.

This is a rescue mission for a pair of hunter mages. The hunter team had previously gone to a nest of Purple Thunderbird eggs fifty kilometers outside the border, but they were discovered by the Purple Thunderbirds' old nemesis and cornered on a hill, who wanted to ambush them. Purple Thunderbirds usually go out to forage in the morning and don't return to their nests until evening, so they only have a few hours to rescue them. The time is quite tight. Bai Feng plans to go to the Magic Association to buy some snake repellent after leaving the hunting grounds. There isn't much time, and it's impossible to fight his way there.

After finishing his drink, Bai Feng, amidst Leng Qing's astonished gaze, gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and ran out the door. "Sister Leng Qing, you look so beautiful today!"

Bai Feng ignored Leng Qing inside the house and headed straight for the Magic Association.

After packing up everything he needed, Bai Feng headed towards the hill. He stopped not far from the hill; it was 2 PM, and Bai Feng was observing which way to enter and return to save time.

Bai Feng planned to ride the Cloud Dream Beast all the way there, sprinkle snake repellent along the way, have Bing'er release ice mist and drop ice blocks, and then use the Ice Explosion spell to clear all obstacles in the road so that everyone could run out along this path.

Bai Feng didn't alert the snakes. Along the way, he had Bing'er freeze the scattered snakes. After all, Bing'er used demonic power, not magic power, so it wouldn't attract the snakes' attention.

Bai Feng conveyed his plan to the two summoned beasts through a telepathic connection.

“Wuwu!”

"Waaah!"

The two summoned beasts nodded in acknowledgment.

"Alright, I said charge, so let's charge according to plan! Three! Two! One! Charge!" After saying that, Bai Feng hugged the Yunmeng Beast's neck with one hand and sprinkled snake repellent medicine from his storage space with the other. Bing'er stood on Bai Feng's shoulder and condensed ice mist and ice blocks, which were then scattered out.

"Captain! Look, it's fogging up over there!" a hunter mage shouted to his squad leader.

"Where is it! Let me see!" A middle-aged man in his thirties rushed over.

Before the captain could even get a good look at Bai Feng and the two summoned beasts, they appeared next to the mage who had just been called captain.

"Gather your squads, we're going out," Bai Feng said to the captain.

"Okay! Okay! I'll go right away!" The captain ran off and gathered all the hunters together.

After sensing that everyone in this area was here, Bai Feng nodded to Bing'er.

"Waaaaah!" Bing'er stretched out one hand in front of her, fingers spread, just like before, and clenched it.

Rumble!!

The path Bai Feng came from had been bombarded by the power of ice elements, turning it into a pit hundreds of meters long.

"Run as fast as you can along this pit!" Bai Feng shouted, then rode the Cloud Dream Beast out with Bing'er in his arms. After all, Bing'er was only a War General, and releasing so many elemental abilities at once was a bit too much for her. Feeding her a few spirit seed fragments would be enough.

"Run! Keep up!" The couple was stunned for a moment before they realized that this had blasted a path open.

"Huff... huff... finally escaped!" The hunter mages were panting heavily.

"Thank you, young man. I'll give you half of the reward when we get back!" the captain said to Bai Feng.

"No need, I've already accepted the commission, and there's payment for it," Bai Feng said calmly.

"Thank you so much!"

"Yeah yeah!"

"Go back quickly, or they'll catch up with us!" Bai Feng said, ignoring their thanks.

"Alright! Let's hurry up and get out of here." The captain called to his teammates as they headed towards Anjie.

After Bai Feng brought these people to the Hunter Alliance, he went to submit the mission.

"Hello, your accumulated points have reached the Hunter Master level. Here is your new badge!" The woman handling the mission handover looked at Bai Feng's young face with some disbelief.

"Okay, thank you." Bai Feng took the item and left the Hunter Alliance directly.

Bai Feng returned to Pearl Academy while playing with the Hunter Master's badge. When Bai Feng arrived at his dormitory, he saw Mo Fan sitting on his bed talking to Zhao Manyan.

"Old Bai, what are the effects of that Three-Step Tower? Is it any good?" Mo Fan asked Bai Feng.

"What? How did you know I've advanced to Hunter Master?!" Bai Feng asked, looking surprised.

"I said, wait, what did you say! You've become a Hunter Master! Damn! This is worse than killing me!"

"Holy crap, Lao Bai, you really became a Hunter Master?!" Zhao Manyan said in disbelief.

"Hey!" Bai Feng flicked the Hunter Master's badge to Zhao Manyan.

"Zhao, our Zhao family doesn't have many master hunters. You're really amazing!" Zhao Manyan exclaimed.

"Easy peasy!" Bai Feng said nonchalantly.

"Wow, that Three-Step Tower is really awesome. Once you go in, you have to climb stairs. Climbing the stairs consumes your mental energy and magic power, and there's also the pressure of gravity. The higher you climb, the harder it is to go up. However, the elemental energy on the first floor is twenty times that of the outside world, the second floor is forty times, and the third floor is one hundred and twenty times. What does that mean? One day here is equivalent to one hundred and twenty days outside! However, the elemental energy will decrease by several dozen times after one day, but it's still much better than outside." Bai Feng described the wonders of the Three-Step Tower with great enthusiasm, making Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan wish they could live inside.
