Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death.

Chapter 48 Stardust Turns into Nebula, Breakthrough to the Intermediate Rank!

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

The staircase looks incredibly impressive because it consists of only one step at a time.

They hung suspended in the dim light ahead, leading to a suspended platform higher up in the darkness.

The walls on both sides were shrouded in white mist that appeared out of nowhere, and through the mist, one could see a series of solemn statues.

"We'll leave you here. Just keep walking up the stairs." Before leaving, Zheng Jiu added with a touch of worry, "Remember, don't try to do too much!"

"clear."

Zheng Jiu and his companion disappeared into the white mist.

Xu Fang stood still, and cautiously stretched out his foot to step on the step.

It gave me a strange feeling of being in a real-life Super Mario movie, as if I was afraid I would fall from the sky if I stepped on a step.

Fortunately, the steps were very sturdy. I don't know how the Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang managed to do that. Even when Xu Fang put his entire weight on them, they couldn't budge them at all.

One step, two steps.

One step, two steps.

One step after another, Xu Fang walked smoothly without encountering any obstacles.

When I reached the halfway point of the first floor and was about to turn the corner, a strong sense of fatigue struck me. My hands and feet felt like they were filled with lead, and I couldn't move at all.

Mana is being consumed!

Even though no magic was used and no star particles were controlled, magical energy was still being consumed at an alarming rate.

"Is this an attempt to test my weakness?"

"Not enough!"

If you come all this way and end up spending three days on the first floor like everyone else, which would increase your cultivation speed by 20 times, wouldn't that be a huge waste?

"Little will-o'-wisp!"

"High-temperature core!"

There is only one outcome from strengthening the little ghost fire with a high-temperature core.

The will-o'-the-wisps flying everywhere are like poplar catkins in the streets in spring or grasshoppers in the fields in autumn—endless, greedy, and gluttonous.

The absorbed energy was then used on the high-temperature core, further amplifying the ghost fire and creating a loop bug.

—If Zheng Jiu and the other person came down at this moment and saw this scene, their eyes would probably be wide open in disbelief.

Your Wild Goose Pagoda and my Wild Goose Pagoda seem different!

The proper procedure should be to first consume a large amount of energy, and then extract the pure energy from the tower while in a state of extreme fatigue!

What are you doing?

I asked you what you were doing?

Xu Fang took another step forward. He could feel that the higher he went, the higher the element concentration became, and the greater the temptation for him!

On the other side, the second floor.

"Huff...huff...I can't take it anymore." Qian Ranran was drenched in sweat, her shapely body glistening with moisture. "You do it yourself."

Zheng Jiu: "Hang in there."

"No, no, I'm not a pervert like you."

Qian Ranran shook her head repeatedly: "The combined gravity on the second floor is already enough for me. What if I faint if we go any higher?"

"But···"

Zheng Jiu wanted to say something more, but Qian Ranran stopped him: "Alright, time is precious in the Wild Goose Pagoda training. You should hurry up and go up. The preliminary round of the Academy Competition is in two months, so you must do your best!"

As she spoke, she cutely clenched her fist.

Zheng Jiu smiled, stopped trying to persuade him, and turned to climb the steps one by one.

Watching his retreating figure, Qian Ranran sighed.

She knew her boyfriend best; he was of average talent, and his current level 2 intermediate skill was entirely due to time and hard work.

Compared to ordinary students, they are certainly superior.

But compared to those geniuses who break through to the third level of the intermediate stage at a young age, or even strive for the high level, they are far from impressive.

Shaking her head to clear her mind of those chaotic thoughts, just as she was about to focus on her cultivation, Qian Ranran saw a figure that was both unfamiliar and familiar.

Her beautiful eyes gradually widened.

"You...this...!?"

"Hello, senior, we meet again." Xu Fang greeted her, letting out a long sigh of relief: "The elemental energy here is so concentrated..."

During his regular cultivation, Xu Fang relied on the active golden star particles to achieve a cultivation speed three to four times faster than that of ordinary mages.

However, the elemental energy on the second floor of the Wild Goose Pagoda is forty times that of the outside world!

Add to that the little will-o'-the-wisps scattered in every nook and cranny, and Xu Fang's one day of cultivation here is equivalent to half a year of cultivation outside!

Leveling up in a private server doesn't even begin to describe how exhilarating this is! This is practically one hit for 999 damage! If you're a true bro, come and fight me!

Qian Ranran looked at Xu Fang, then at the long staircase, and asked a pointless question in disbelief: "You came up here by yourself?"

What a question! If you don't come up yourself, do you expect me to ride you up?

······

While cultivating in the Wild Goose Pagoda, the monks lose track of time and become so engrossed in rewarding themselves that they cannot extricate themselves.

On a futon on the second floor of the Wild Goose Pagoda, Xu Fang sat cross-legged, motionless, like an old monk in deep meditation, but his inner world was filled with turbulent waves.

Golden stardust, radiating a dazzling light that flickers on and off.

Beyond this stardust, the light barrier that enveloped them had already swollen beyond recognition due to the impact of internal energy.

Click-clack...

Cracks appeared, and the spiderweb pattern spread outwards in an irregular manner, growing larger and larger.

It's going to succeed! It's going to succeed!!

Xu Fang's heart began to race with excitement, and he gathered all his energy, frantically pounding against the light screen.

A stream is gentle, but a river formed by the convergence of thousands of streams is incredibly turbulent!

Even though he was experiencing waves of intense pain in his mind, Xu Fang dared not relax for even a moment. At this point, even the slightest abandonment would mean that all his previous efforts would be in vain!

"Hehehe..."

Xu Fang gritted his teeth, squeezing out a painful roar from his throat.

The light of the golden stardust had reached its peak, but suddenly, as if suppressed by some force, it dimmed abruptly.

It grew dimmer and dimmer, much like an old star that had burned out its light.

next second.

Xu Fang suddenly opened his eyes!

The pupils were not dilated like those of a human; inside was a dark and mysterious spiritual universe, and a nebula that suddenly burst forth with the most intense brilliance!

At seventeen, stardust turned into a nebula.

Mid-stage of enlightenment!

Slowly clenching his fists, Xu Fang's blood was burning hot, and the unprecedented sense of power made him let out a wolf howl.

Qian Ranran on the other side was startled. What's going on with this blond-haired guy?

Xu Fang felt incredibly good, especially when he re-examined his mental world.

In the past, stardust was just a tiny speck of dust in the universe. It existed, but it was incredibly small, and the energy it could provide to magicians was quite limited.

And now, a vast nebula hovers there, so clearly visible in the boundless spiritual universe, adorning a chaotic spiritual world!

How vast is the difference between dust and clouds?

Within the nebula, there were still golden stars, but the number had increased from seven to forty-nine, moving rapidly and dazzling the eye.

I, Xu Fang, am seventeen years old, and I'm afraid there's not enough violence on campus!

He suddenly stood up and walked towards the steps.

"It's good not to be greedy, but finding the right position is more important..." Qian Ranran said kindly, but before she could finish, the second half of her sentence got stuck in her throat.

Xu Fang did not go downstairs.

He went upstairs!

Qian Ranran's red lips parted slightly, feeling like her brain couldn't keep up.

Is this the world of geniuses?

If all geniuses have this kind of artistic style, could my boyfriend really beat them...?
