Full-Time Magister: The Ruler of Wind and Rain

It was already late when Wang Yu returned to Shanghai, but instead of going back to the Qingtian Hunter's Den to rest, he went directly to the Three-Step Tower, which was the envy of countless students, with the magnetic card specially approved by Dean Xiao.

Standing before the silver tower, Wang Yu's goal was clear: to make the most of the precious three days to raise his fire and earth elemental cultivation levels as much as possible, and if there was still time, to improve his water elemental cultivation as well.

In fact, most mages will divide their magic into major, minor, and secondary specializations. After all, the time, energy, and resources for cultivation are limited. Being a jack-of-all-trades is to master nothing. In comparison, focusing on one magic specialization and concentrating resources on cultivation will generally lead to a more significant improvement in strength.

Wang Yu wasn't stupid; he naturally understood this principle. However, his progress in wind-based cultivation had been extremely slow recently. In the past six months, he had only consolidated his mid-level second-tier cultivation, but had failed to break through to the third level.

This sluggishness was a world apart from Wang Yu's previous smooth cultivation, and he had a vague intuition that his lower cultivation levels in other elements were holding back his wind element.

This feeling was incompatible with, and even contradicted, the content of magic textbooks, but things like time travel and being born with dual magic elements were never ordinary. In a world with magic, Wang Yu chose to trust his intuition.

Therefore, these precious three days will be focused on the fire and earth elements, which Wang Yu had not paid special attention to before.

After verifying his identity, Wang Yu stepped through the tower gate.

boom!

As soon as you enter the first floor, a heavy spatial pressure hits you, as if the air has turned into mercury, and every breath requires a huge amount of physical strength.

This feeling was unpleasant, but Wang Yu was already experienced and quickly circulated his magical energy to resist the discomfort from the outside world. He knew that this was just his body instinctively resisting the elemental concentration, which was much higher than that of the outside world.

Last time, Wang Yu exerted all his strength to reach the second level of the Three-Step Tower, where the elemental concentration was forty times that of the outside world, and broke through to the intermediate-level mage. This time was different. After many trials and tribulations and the tempering of his spirit seed, Wang Yu's endurance was now far greater than before. After only a short rest, he started walking towards the steps of the third level.

On the suspended steps, the ever-increasing concentration of elements created immense pressure, frantically consuming Wang Yu's magical energy. If he hadn't had two mid-level magic nebulae at the same time, he would have surely collapsed from exhaustion before even reaching the third level.

With double the magical power and a tenacious soul, Wang Yu gritted his teeth and climbed to the third floor of the Three-Step Tower!

This is a forbidden zone for intermediate-level mages.

Element concentration—eighty times!

Wang Yu felt his bones creaking and his mental energy being crushed on a millstone. But the light in his eyes grew even more intense.

"Start with fire magic."

He sat down cross-legged and took out a bunch of fire-type magic stones to aid his cultivation from his spatial ring, arranging them around his body. As a veteran who had broken through to the intermediate level for the second time, he had more experience and composure than before.

"Fire, break through!"

Wang Yu closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the spiritual world.

With the combined effects of eighty times the elemental concentration and the doubled cultivation speed of the Star River Magic Tool, the fire-type stardust was rapidly accumulated to the initial stage of full cultivation. At this moment, the crimson stardust was on the verge of agitation. Under the pressure and nourishment of the external eighty times elemental concentration, the seven stars spun wildly as if they had taken stimulants, constantly crashing against that invisible barrier.

Wang Yu guided the raging fire elements from the outside world, like fire dragons, continuously pouring them into the stardust.

swell.

extrusion.

Further expansion.

The boundaries of the stardust continued to expand outwards, and the tearing pain was reflected back onto his body, causing Wang Yu to tremble all over, and the sweat that had just appeared was evaporated by the high temperature.

But he held fast to his clear mind, with only one thought in his mind: rush over!

I don't know how much time passed; it felt like an instant, yet also like a century.

Click!

A crisp cracking sound rang out in the mental world.

The once dense stardust shattered with a roar, and in its place emerged an even more vast and profound nebula!

Forty-nine stars swam merrily within, radiating a light several times hotter than before.

Fire element, mid-tier!

With the breakthrough in fire element, a wave of heat rose from Wang Yu's body, forcing back the surrounding elemental mist.

But he did not stop.

"Strike while the iron is hot, Earth element, don't just sit idly by!"

The same process, the same speed, he became increasingly adept at it. A brown light began to flow around him, and a heavy, steady aura gradually replaced his previous ferocity.

Only half a day had passed.

With a humming sound like the pulse of the earth, the brown stardust also transformed into a nebula.

breakthrough!

At this moment, Wang Yu has reached the intermediate level in all four elements: wind, water, fire, and earth.

Only two days have passed so far.

Wang Yu turned his gaze to the blue water nebula.

………………

In that state of extreme focus, Wang Yu seemed to forget the passage of time and the fatigue of his body, completely immersed in the world of elements.

Constantly absorbing elements, constantly expanding the nebula, constantly refining star particles...

Unlike his initial bewilderment upon entering the Three-Step Tower, Wang Yu has learned a great deal of magical knowledge in the Pearl Academy Library over the past year, knowledge that is not taught in high school, greatly broadening his horizons.

The biggest difference is that when he broke through to the middle level of the wind element, and even directly cultivated to the second level of the middle level, he didn't care about anything else and just attracted external elements into his body, rushing straight to the top in one go. Although it was efficient, the result was that he spent a lot of time making up for his foundation. Otherwise, if a hundred-foot-tall building is only supported by a bamboo pole, then collapse is the only outcome.

This time it's different. By breathing in and refining elements to create elements that are the same as his own magic system, and then using these elemental energies to gradually strengthen the nebula, this method is only sufficiently efficient in places like the Three-Step Tower where elements are naturally abundant. However, it can also greatly avoid the earth-shattering events caused by an unstable foundation, so that Wang Yu won't have to focus his energy on filling the nebula's gaps for the next year or two.

………………

A day passed quietly, and a "ding" sounded, a crisp notification telling Wang Yu that his connection with the Three Steps Tower had come to an end for the time being.

Wang Yu snapped out of his endless cycle of elemental breathing. As he stood up, he noticed that the blue water nebula in his mental world had expanded, and the stars were shining brighter and arranged more closely and orderly.

Inside the Three-Step Tower, his water element finally caught up with his wind element, reaching the second level of the intermediate tier.

Wang Yu clenched his fist, feeling the surging magical energy within his body, and a smile appeared on his lips.

A mid-level four-elemental unit should be a considerable force on the battlefield, right?
