Full-Time Mage: One random forbidden spell per month

Chapter 36: Utilizing a minor bug in the Three-Step Tower, cultivation level skyrockets!

The giant golden python coiled tightly around the molting banshee, the crackling sounds mingling with the banshee's screams.

"What a hassle!"

Because it was uncertain whether the host was still alive, Li Xingze could not use "Jealousy" to decapitate him with a single blow, and could only use magic to deal with him.

It seems I need to upgrade my lightning element to the intermediate level as soon as possible so I can better cope with various situations.

"Lightning Seal - Wrathful Strike!"

Li Xingze decisively used the Level 3 Lightning Seal. With its power increased fivefold, the Level 3 Lightning Seal was in no way inferior to a mid-level spell.

Golden lightning bolts fell straight down from the ceiling, drenching the molting banshee. The powerful electricity made it emit a very seductive sound.

After the ecstasy, the originally hard scales had been completely electrocuted into charcoal-like black pieces. Li Xingze gently brushed them off, and these black pieces fell off her body, revealing a still charming young woman.

Because Li Xingze's electricity was too strong, the beautiful young woman was now in a somewhat... state.

Li Xingze forcibly averted his gaze, then removed the pitiful girl from the ceiling.

"Lingling, call an ambulance first. Someone is seriously injured, but the woman might still be saved."

Lingling nodded, but her gaze toward Li Xingze still held a hint of doubt and strangeness.

This guy electrocuted the young woman's clothes; could he have done it on purpose?

Li Xingze didn't notice that Lingling's gaze was a little strange. He turned to the other two frightened girls and whispered:

"This banshee is dead. You guys help stop this person's bleeding first. I still need to deal with another one."

"oh oh."

The two girls were initially terrified, but upon hearing Li Xingze's voice, they remembered their injured best friend and quickly sprang into action.

Following the child's cries, Li Xingze quickly arrived at a room downstairs and saw a molting female demon crawling in the shadows.

Compared to the molting female demon, this male demon had just completed his molting. Li Xingze didn't need to impose any restrictions; he simply used a level three lightning seal to solve the problem.

After dealing with the two parasitic demons, the remaining tasks were left to the healing mage; whether or not they could be saved was no longer his concern.

After another month of cultivation, Li Xingze, having sensed the bottleneck in his lightning element, decisively chose to enter the Three-Step Tower.

Under normal cultivation conditions, it would take at least two months for the lightning element to break through to the intermediate level. It's just that he doesn't have a cultivation cheat like Little Mudfish.

Nebula artifacts can only work on nebulae. Li Xingze, who cultivates the lightning and wind elements, is still using spirit-level stardust artifacts.

The Stardust Magic Artifact can only increase cultivation time, but it cannot accelerate the cultivation speed of Stardust like the Little Mudfish.

However, with the improvement of his cultivation level, Xingchen's cultivation speed was indeed much faster than before.

The Three-Step Tower is located on the main campus of Mingzhu Academy. A large part of the reason why Mingzhu Academy is ranked among the top three universities in the country is because of the Three-Step Tower!

The Three-Step Pagoda has a long history and represents the deepest heritage of Mingzhu University!

"Young man, you are not allowed to enter without permission."

As soon as Li Xingze arrived at the entrance of the Three Steps Tower, he was stopped by two senior students, whose tone and attitude were relatively friendly.

"I have permission." Li Xingze took out a certificate with Dean Xiao's seal and handed it to the senior on his left.

After confirming that everything was correct, the two looked at each other in astonishment.

How did this person manage to do that? Could he be a relative of Dean Xiao?

"Junior, please come with me."

After saying that, the senior on the left went into the Three-Step Tower, and Li Xingze followed.

A long corridor came into view; this should only be the entrance, not yet the first floor.

"This is the Three-Step Tower. The first floor is at the end of this passage. The rest is up to you to explore."

After giving a reminder, the senior student left the Three Steps Tower without looking back.

Li Xingze didn't expect these two senior students to be kind enough to tell him the details; not everyone is a saint.

But none of that matters, since those two probably don't know more than he does anyway.

These two senior students have most likely never enjoyed the Three-Step Tower. Normally, they would have to guard the Three-Step Tower for two years before they could get a chance to cultivate.

Two years! Even capitalists would weep at that!

Although this may seem cruel, it is often the reality. There are many students like them at the main campus who do not have outstanding talent or a lot of resources to support them.

These students don't have access to the top-ranked training resources, so if they want to advance further, they have to do similar work.

The reason they did this was simply to break through their bottleneck by using the Three-Step Tower.

These students will most likely only reach the intermediate level in their entire lives, and without resources, they will find it difficult to make any progress anywhere.

After walking through the long corridor, Li Xingze finally saw the stairs.

With each step he took up the stairs, Li Xingze felt his summoning magic power being constantly depleted.

This is only the first level!

Fortunately, his summoning magic power had already reached the intermediate level two, so this consumption was nothing.

Soon, Li Xingze reached the first platform.

Upon arriving at the platform, a rich elemental aura immediately enveloped us.

The elemental density in the first layer is 20 times higher than outside, and the nebula grows 20 times faster during meditation.

However, this was not enough for Li Xingze. He planned to rush to the second floor first!

Upon entering the second floor, Li Xingze could clearly feel that the gravity was more than twice as strong as on the first floor, and his magic energy was being consumed much faster.

But Li Xingze's steps remained steady, and he soon ascended to the second platform.

In this environment, using the Body Flicker Technique might cause Li Xingze to faint instantly, so he would not use it to avoid this situation.

The elemental concentration in the first layer is twenty times that of the outside world, in the second layer it doubles to forty times, and in the third layer it should be eighty times.

Normally, one only has seven days, or a week, to cultivate in the Three-Step Tower. However, because Li Xingze gave up most of the resources, Dean Xiao gave him two extra days.

It takes nine days in total.

Li Xingze needed to allocate his nine days carefully; he didn't plan to rush to the third level right away.

Cultivating in the Three-Step Tower will have a decreasing effect over time, and after a few days, the effect of the third level will not even be as good as the second level.

If you train on the second level for a period of time and then advance to the third level, the effect will be refreshed directly, which is a small bug that can be exploited.

Li Xingze planned to first break through to the intermediate level of the lightning element on the second level, and then rush to the third level to cultivate the summoning element. After cultivating the summoning element to the intermediate level three, he would then spend the remaining time on the wind element.

In just two and a half days, the lightning stardust naturally expanded into a nebula, achieving the first goal!
