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

Chapter 53, Intermediate Ice Element, Success!

The bomb is a valuable item that has only been around for about a month and has quickly become popular throughout the Central Military Region.

From mid-level officers to novice warriors, no one could resist such a powerful and energy-efficient artifact.

But at this moment, in the eyes of these military mages, these few small black bullets were so repulsive.

"This is just a model, it doesn't count..." one person stubbornly argued.

The other person shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, stop fooling yourselves. A loss is a loss."

Bombs aren't demon-slaying tools; they're expensive, and you either have them or you don't.

For mid-level mages like them, it's perfectly normal to carry a few bombs with them on every mission.

If the two sides were mortal enemies, Xu Fang could have used real bombs.

In fact, the magical energy needed to detonate the bomb was provided by themselves—they had just used a large amount of magical energy to thaw and warm the hostages.

With the kill radius of a standard-issue bomb, wiping out this whole circle of people wouldn't be a problem at all.

Their gazes were somewhat blank.

In the Lintong Military Region, they were always the best, admired and adored by their comrades, and considered themselves to represent the highest combat strength of the younger generation of military mages in Lintong.

But then Xu Fang appeared.

Just one person, a high school student, shattered their pride.

They lost.

They didn't even lose in the clash of magic; they lost because of their weak combat awareness. They were used as pawns, and every move they made was calculated by their opponents.

—In fact, Xu Fang only used one mid-level spell throughout the entire event.

"Go back now, you're all eliminated." Flying Horn descended slowly from the sky, saying calmly, "As for your preliminary round rewards, they will all go to Xu Fang. Any objections?"

No one spoke.

"I'm very disappointed with your performance. When you get back, each of you will write a 10,000-word battle summary, carefully analyzing all the stupid things you did!"

One by one, people left.

Only Feijiao and Xu Fang remained on the scene. Xu Fang had thought that the head instructor would have many questions for him.

For example, the scorching sun, or the constant stars, or how he got his God's-eye view.

But Feijiao didn't mention this at all, and instead asked Xu Fang about his future plans.

"Judging by your rank alone, it will be difficult to stand out in the finals. But after watching today's battle, I believe they will be the ones who suffer."

Feijiao chuckled, "After the finals, are you planning to join the Forbidden City Army directly?"

"I don't have that idea yet." Xu Fang shook his head: "I'd rather go to a magic university than become a military mage."

"We have military academies too!"

"That's different."

Are you kidding me? A magic university full of beautiful women, is it something a monk's temple like you can just scam?

"Think it over again," Fei Jiao said, not trying to persuade Xu Fang further. Besides, this was a matter for Commander Jiang to worry about; Xu Fang wouldn't be assigned to a subordinate position anyway!

······

Since Xu Fang eliminated all his opponents in one fell swoop, he enjoyed the preliminary round reward meant for five people all by himself.

They are a regenerating magic tool, a top-tier magic tool, and an ice-type spirit seed.

Holding the energy-returning magic tool in his hand, Xu Fang activated his magic energy, and soon streams of magic energy flowed back.

There were enough of them to replenish the energy of a mid-level mage; the source of their energy was the free elemental magic energy in the air.

But it's not very useful for Xu Fang; the little ghost fire is much better than him.

More than its function, Xu Fang wanted to know its principles, at least what the core magic array looked like, and see if he could copy it.

As for the other two, the top-tier magic weapon was probably equipped with a sturdy and durable pair of shoes because of the extremely high damage rate of Xu Fang's magic weapons.

What interested Xu Fang the most was the ice-type spirit seed.

This top-grade ice-type spirit seed, worth more than the combined value of two energy-regenerating magical artifacts, is named "Liuli".

It can increase the power of ice-type skills by 3 times, and also adds the special ability "Ice Mirror", which can condense and create a magical mirror to offset damage to a certain extent.

Xu Fang was really looking forward to seeing how many new poses this little thing would unlock after being modified!

The final was scheduled for two months later.

Over the past two months, the military mages of the Lintong Military Region have undergone unprecedented and grueling training, with all sorts of bizarre and unheard-of training methods that have caused them immense suffering.

Xu Fang, the instigator, secluded himself in seclusion, rarely venturing out of his home.

He was trying to break through to the intermediate level of the Ice element in two months, a small goal that even the Black Church dared not set.

Generally speaking, after breaking through to the intermediate level, mages will find the new magic system easier to master and faster than the old magic system.

But if someone says that it only takes them less than two months to go from awakening to breakthrough, they will only be considered crazy.

However, Xu Fang is possible.

He has ice-type stardust, but no ice-type star particles. The little creatures that leisurely roam in the ice-blue ocean radiate a golden light.

They're all seasoned veterans, so their teamwork is top-notch.

The stardust was filled with surging energy, and the ice-type star rings shone brightly, their edges coated with a layer of golden blades.

The stars violently impacted the barrier, and one, two... countless cracks appeared on the barrier's surface.

With a thought from Xu Fang, the barrier shattered after a collision, releasing a large amount of magical energy.

In the blink of an eye, the stardust expanded seven or eight times, transforming into a nebula. The seven stars also became a total of forty-nine, creating a spectacular sight as they swirled within it.

Ice-type intermediate level, achieved!

Without hesitation, Xu Fang tore open a page from the Star Map Book that Shi Zheng had given him.

hum!

As if guided and controlled by some force, the forty-nine stars are connected in a specific orbital combination, forming star trails.

Immediately afterwards, the star trails arranged and combined, and a six-pointed star appeared under Xu Fang's feet, revealing a star map!

"Ice Lock - Bone Crusher!"

Four incredibly thick ice chains appeared out of thin air and, under Xu Fang's mental control, rushed toward a water glass placed on the table.

Click!

Bang!

Bang!!!!!

The poor water glass was caught in one of the ice chains and left suspended in mid-air. The second ice chain meandered and spiraled, crushing the glass like a giant python.

Before the fragments could even hit the ground, the two remaining chains struck them like lightning, reducing them to dust.

"It's that easy to use?"

Chains and bondage are what Xu loves most!

Xu Fang took out the storage magic tool, and the ice-type spirit seed, Liuli, lay quietly inside, like a flawless crystal.

Its surface is crystal clear, and Xu Fang can even see his own reflection in it, which is formed and broken again and again within the glass.

Opening the box, Xu Fang reached inside, feeling the icy aura that snaked upwards from his fingertips, breaking through his physical body and reaching his spiritual world!

Xu Fang sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and entered a meditative state, letting the icy aura spread throughout the ice nebula.

The golden stars cheered and accelerated their spiral, tearing the energy of the spirit seeds to shreds, twisting and gathering around the star, and merging into the icy blue star ring.

Click-clack...

Energy leaked out, and the entire room was sealed with blue ice, crystal clear and dreamlike. Xu Fang was in the very center, like the emperor of this territory!

Thank you to [White Dragon Raises Troops] for the 200-point reward! I've seen all your usual suggestions, and I've learned a lot.
