I gained immortality in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 55, Conversation

"."

"Because dimensional mages experience the fastest growth in mental power, not only because their spellcasting is related to mental power, but more importantly, each breakthrough in the dimensional realm often provides the greatest boost to a mage's mental power compared to all other magic systems. This is also why many mages who have awakened the spatial magic system possess considerable mental power!"

The most important aspect of spatial magic is cultivating mental strength, followed by understanding spatial dimensions. With proper cultivation, one can perceive vast distances within a single inch of space. Since your mental strength has already reached the second level, I won't assign you too many courses this semester. I only hope you can break through to the intermediate level of spatial magic! With the support of the nebula, your mental strength will definitely break through to the third level. Come back to me afterward, and I will teach you the next stage of the course!

"Most importantly, for a mid-level lightning mage like you, breaking through this semester shouldn't be a problem, right?"

After Dean Xiao finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Shang with his gentle eyes, expecting his answer.

After hearing this, Jiang Shang nodded helplessly: "You really can't hide anything from me. I did indeed awaken the Space element after breaking through to the intermediate level of the Lightning element."

"Hehe," Dean Xiao chuckled gently, then, as if suddenly remembering something, said to Jiang Shang, "By the way, every year at Mingzhu Academy, we hold a beast fighting tournament during the freshman orientation. All the teachers and students will sit in the largest fighting arena in our Qing Campus. Inside the arena's huge iron cage, there will be a monster. All freshmen can voluntarily walk into this huge iron cage to fight this beast and show their strength to all the students and teachers in the school."

"Are you interested in participating? Of course, you are only allowed to use spatial abilities, unless your opponent uses intermediate-level magic first."

"What are the benefits?" Jiang Shang asked in return.

"If we win, we'll get more resources," Dean Xiao replied.

"Then forget it. I don't really like showing my face in front of others. As the saying goes, 'Don't flaunt your wealth.' You know my strength, that's enough. I'll go to the Hunter's Alliance and take on bounties to earn resources instead," Jiang Shang said, scratching his head.

Jiang Shang wasn't afraid to show his face; he vividly remembered Xu Zhaoting's transformation into a cursed black beast, though he didn't know the details. But there were definitely Black Church agents within Mingzhu Academy. With him in the open and the enemy in the shadows, remaining inactive was paramount.

Seeing that Jiang Shang was neither interested nor angry, Dean Xiao simply said, "I see. Being a hunter is a very good choice. Without a background, you'll still need to rely on yourself for resources. After the welcome party, you'll be in charge of your own affairs this semester. Also, don't forget to collect your resources for this semester. I have to go back now to handle the welcome party. You can arrange the rest of your time as you see fit."

After speaking, Dean Xiao prepared to leave the classroom.

Seeing that the big shot was about to leave, Jiang Shang also decided to go back to his dormitory to talk.

As for the apartment I rented outside, I'll go there when I'm free to leave school. Anyway, I only paid for two months' worth of rent, and I took all my luggage with me when I left.

Since the dean told me to make my own arrangements, I decided not to challenge the rules and regulations.

However, when Jiang Shang called to find out that he wasn't going to renew the lease, the landlady sounded quite reluctant, and even said that he was willing to come and there was always a place available!

Just as Jiang Shang was following the dean's footsteps, Dean Xiao suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Jiang Shang behind him, asking, "Jiang Shang, do you have the talent to detect demons? I remember you caught the Night Fury Leopard in the shadows in one go."

Jiang Shang was taken aback for a moment, then looked puzzled. Why was this big shot asking this?

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Shang replied, "I can indeed sense the movements of demons through space, but it is more accurate to sense them through the interference of the magical energy contained within their bodies on space."

"I see, that's a great talent!" Dean Xiao replied with a smile, and then, as if he had received a satisfactory answer, he hurriedly left the teaching building.

Jiang Shang scratched his head, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Just asking about talent and it's gone?

………………

When Jiang Shang returned to the dormitory, he found all his roommates there.

They were discussing things related to this year's welcome party.

They seem to be very interested in this "demon-fighting" event, planning to perform on stage and not only gain fame and fortune but also win the favor of the goddess.

As for this goddess?

There's no consensus among these guys yet.

Ni Siyu, who talks about water, and Zhan He, who talks about plants.

Five people can name more than a dozen girls!

Just then, Fang Wenshan, who lived opposite Jiang Shang, saw Jiang Shang return and asked, "Jiang Shang, are you going to the welcome party?"

"No, I don't think it's worth it," Jiang Shang replied.

"No way, I've checked and you're the only one in the Space Science department this year. You're so handsome, plus the Space Science department bonus, all the girls will definitely like you," Fang Wenshan quickly said, then his next sentence revealed his ambition, "That way, we guys can be your wingmen, and we can also get to know any pretty girls first."

The others also cast expectant glances at Jiang Shang.

Everyone hoped that Jiang Shang's next words would be an expression of agreement.

Unfortunately, his attitude was very firm.

"I'm not going."

"ah!!"

"What a great opportunity, and you're not going!"

"."

The entire dormitory erupted in wailing and howling.

Seeing this, Jiang Shang felt quite helpless, since he really didn't want to go. He would rather spend that time finding a bounty to do at the Hunter's Alliance.

It provides both wealth and the ability to enhance one's capabilities.

There's no need to stay stuck in school; wouldn't it be better to go out and fight?

Moreover, Dean Xiao also said that he has no courses this semester, and that the Space Department only needs to reach the intermediate level.

…………

Soon, the day of welcoming new students will arrive, and this day will definitely be the grandest festival in the entire Qing Campus.

Those senior students who have been at the school for some time will definitely not miss this great opportunity to watch the freshmen make fools of themselves, while many freshmen who consider themselves to be exceptional are also secretly waiting for this perfect opportunity to become the focus of the entire school.

Perhaps every student here is the pride of their region, but once they arrive at Pearl Academy, they are easily overwhelmed by the multitude of magical geniuses.

In contrast to the celebrations of the newborn, Jiang Shang appeared quite quiet.

After all, he didn't plan to perform on stage; participation was the key.

However, in the past few days, a history professor contacted him, saying that Dean Xiao had recommended Jiang Shang and hoped that he could join his expedition team to find the secrets of ancient dynasties!

Upon hearing the professor's words, Jiang Shang became interested. He was also very interested in why these dynasties rose and fell in the long river of history.

Finally, they agreed to meet up next year.

Firstly, Jiang Shang's spatial and lightning magic are both on the verge of breakthrough, and he wants to wait until both of his magics are at the intermediate level before going, which would be safer.

Although the professor repeatedly assured that there were super-powerful beings among the entourage, isn't it true that only by becoming stronger can one better protect oneself?

Secondly, the professor also needs to investigate some information as evidence before further exploration. At the same time, he also hopes that Jiang Shang's spatial ability can break through, because the professor sought him out because his spatial ability is more powerful than his sound ability in investigating demons.
