I gained immortality in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 52 Breakthrough

After returning from the Qingtian Hunting Grounds, Jiang Shang was like a dog that had lost its beloved bone, dejected and without any spirit.

"6000 million. Gone."

With Jiang Shang's ramblings, the vampire saga came to an end.

After confirming that the demon Qingtian Hunter had commissioned to kill was a vampire, the Hunter Alliance took swift action. They launched a massive purge of the city, and, in conjunction with the police and government, conducted a thorough reinvestigation of all the bizarre deaths that had occurred recently. Those who died under mysterious circumstances were now considered suspects for vampire crimes, meaning that the vampires lurking in Shanghai would have to go into hiding and wouldn't be able to harm anyone for a while.

Jiang Shang also stopped hunting for food and focused on cultivating his skills at home.

The space-type stardust has undergone obvious changes after yesterday's battle, and is now enveloped in a silken halo of silver light.

Jiang Shang also experienced this phenomenon when he learned that his lightning-element star had broken through, which meant he had reached the critical point for the breakthrough.

"If I break through today, I can take the assessment tomorrow!"

Finding a quiet spot in the apartment, Jiang Shang immersed himself in his spiritual universe, arriving before the Stardust of the Space System, preparing to directly attempt to break through to the third level.

Having learned from his previous experience, Jiang Shang prepared to directly visualize himself as the Antarctic Longevity Emperor.

Using mental power to directly attack is what ordinary mages do.

I have better ones!

It's important to know that a mage's mental energy is limited. Even wasting a little bit of it when trying to break through one's cultivation barrier can lead to failure!

Why do you have your own visualization techniques but instead bang your head against the wall?

That's just plain crazy!

Soon, Jiang Shang's soul transformed in the spiritual world into the Antarctic Longevity Emperor, dressed in Hanfu and wearing a crown.

The lightning nebula surrounding the Great Emperor, resembling a star ring, transformed into the Divine Firmament Jade Purity Palace.

Jiang Shang sat upright on the imperial throne in his mansion, looking at the vast and ethereal Divine Firmament Jade Purity Palace. He raised his right hand and gestured towards the outside.

At this moment, the star-like beings in the space system on the other side of the spiritual universe had never seen such a scene before.

How could such a big person just disappear? And what's going on with this mansion in front of us?!

Although they were curious about everything before them, the limitations of the stardust prevented them from going outside of it.

As they drifted through the stardust, a mysterious force suddenly pulled the spatial stardust toward the Divine Firmament Jade Purity Palace! The closer they got to the palace, the smaller the spatial stardust became.

It eventually transformed into a small star ring and came into Jiang Shang's hands.

Seeing Jiang Shang, who was like a god, and feeling the terrifying aura emanating from him, which was like the might of the heavens.

The space-type star was so frightened that it lay on the hand like a quail, not daring to move.

It has completely lost the lively and clever spirit it had when it first awakened.

Seeing the seven star-shaped beads in his hand looking startled, Jiang Shang smiled.

However, he did not forget the purpose of this visualization.

Immediately, his mind focused, and all his mental energy transformed into a bolt of lightning that appeared on Jiang Shang's right hand.

Under Jiang Shang's will, the bolt of lightning was slowly sculpted into the shape of a dragon.

The dragon circled around the seven stars that shone with silvery-white light, and strange whirlwinds appeared as the thunder dragon moved.

It's getting worse!

Then, carrying a star-like object resembling a dragon ball, it flew away from Jiang Shang's hand and swam continuously within the Divine Firmament Jade Purity Palace.

The silvery-white space-system stars were polished to a brighter and brighter, more and more vibrant as they moved about!

Karara~~~!!

A thunderous roar echoed through the mansion.

But the thunder dragon, which was swimming with stars, exploded when it reached its peak!

It transformed into a bolt of lightning.

Amidst the thunder, silvery-white stars floated and sank.

Their light was much brighter than before, clearly indicating that they had broken through to the third level of planetesimals.

Looking at the stars that had already broken through, and feeling the magic power within them that was now at a higher level, Jiang Shang waved his hand and sent them all out of the mansion.

Then, on a whim, he stood up.

With a crash, the entire Divine Firmament Jade Purity Palace began to collapse, and his soul began to return to its original form.

………………

Ring ring~~~

"Hello? Who is it?"

"Hello student, please come to the training grounds of Pearl Academy today for your entrance examination!"

A woman's voice came from the phone in Jiang Shang's hand.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shang jumped out of bed. "They're calling me at only eight in the morning!"

Jiang Shang didn't dare to delay. He quickly put on his clothes, washed up, and headed straight for Mingzhu Academy.

Upon entering the gates of Mingzhu Academy, Jiang Shang followed the map and found the training ground mentioned in the phone call.

A teacher was standing at the entrance of the training ground. When he saw Jiang Shang coming over, he walked straight over and asked him questions.

"Is this student here today to take the entrance exam?" the male teacher, who was a bit balding, asked.

"Yes, this is my ID." Jiang Shang said, handing over his ID card.

The Mediterranean-looking teacher took the ID and scanned it against the machine in his hand.

Beep~, confirmation approved.

"Welcome to our school, Jiang Shang." Looking at the information displayed on the machine, the teacher paused for a moment, then smiled and said to Jiang Shang, "The exam room is inside. Please go in."

Jiang Shang nodded and stepped into the training ground.

Five examiners were already seated in the training ground. In the center of the white sand-covered trial ground, there was also a student who had filled out the registration form with Jiang Shang when he came last time.

His parents were standing nearby watching his magic performance.

This student is an earth mage, and at this moment, earth-yellow star trails are swirling around him, clearly indicating that he is preparing to unleash a spell.

"Ground wave collapse!"

After saying that, he slammed both hands heavily onto the ground.

Instantly, the ground of the entire training ground began to undulate noticeably. What was originally hard gravel had transformed into a soft layer of mud and sand under the control of the earth mage's earth waves. These layers of mud and sand were rapidly shifting in the opposite direction, like water flowing backward.

This earth mage had excellent control; the ground, about five meters deep, had sunk inwards, and a vortex was forming at the center of the ground wave, with all the quicksand constantly flowing towards it.

Seeing the scene before him, Jiang Shang also exclaimed in admiration, "What a brilliant move!"

"Your earth-elemental cultivation is quite good, and your ingenious ideas regarding ground waves are truly commendable. Welcome to Pearl Academy!" said an elderly professor wearing thick glasses, sitting in the middle of the examiners' seats.

"Great!" The earth element student jumped up happily.

After the previous student left the stage with his parents, all the examiners' eyes were on Jiang Shang.

"Please come forward, student."

"It was said by a bald examiner sitting in the examiners' seat."
