Full-Time Magister: Throne of Dimensions

Chapter 33 Breakthrough to Intermediate Mage

"Hehehehe..." Li Yan suddenly started laughing strangely, "That kid, stop looking, it's you."

"What is it?"

"Hehe, I can see that. You're a spatial mage and a summoning mage, but you're not a mid-level mage. Hehe, what incredible natural talent! I've seen someone with incredible talent before. He was also a spatial mage, and although his natural talent wasn't as good as yours, it was still top-notch... Do you know what happened to him?"

"It has little to do with me, and I don't want to know." Su Ming waved his hand, pondering the crystal in his hand. It was hard to imagine that such a stone could allow him to leap from a beginner mage to a mid-level mage. It was truly unbelievable.

"Very arrogant, very confident, I like you just the way you are, I just don't know how long you can keep it up. I will keep watching, keep watching you." Li Yan stared at Su Ming as if he were casting a curse, as if he wanted to imprint him in the deepest part of his mind and never forget him.

Suddenly, Li Yan's head tilted to the side. Su Ming went forward to check and found that he was dead.

suicide.

"Are you going to commit suicide too?" Su Ming suddenly looked north, but there was no one to respond, only a corpse. She was dead, and it was suicide again.

For some reason, Su Ming felt guilty. Yes, how could he not feel guilty?

After all, the deaths of these people were inextricably linked to him.

"Han Su, they committed suicide," Su Ming shouted to Han Su, who was disposing of the bodies.

"As expected." Han Su didn't turn around, still dealing with the corpse. She reminded her, "Go back and cultivate diligently. Become a mid-level mage as soon as possible, and then a more powerful mage. Only then will you be worthy of my investment."

Something feels off.

Su Ming looked at the three corpses on the ground and was about to ask what to do when Han Su used magic to freeze them, then shattered her magic, and the three corpses disappeared.

That's decisive; no wonder he's a military strategist.

This is at least a dignified burial, much better than leaving it here to rot and decay or be devoured by other demons.

"Let's go, it's time to leave." Han Su walked over after dealing with the demon's corpse. Su Ming looked at the ice powder. He thought he had just seen something black, like a leather jacket.

It's just an illusion.

The way back was much safer. Han Su gave him the crystal without charging him any fees, and they didn't report the matter; it was already resolved.

The Hunter Alliance needs to retrieve the barrier to complete their commission, and they won't hand over the crystal. The hunters are still wandering in the wild, hoping to get the crystal by chance.

Han Su has already reported to the military region, and the military region has also contacted the Hunter Alliance, but they cannot cancel the commission. They can only issue a statement that hunter mages who want to try their luck in the wild are no longer under their jurisdiction.

We're all adults; everything we do comes at a price.

……

"Dad, I want to go to the ancient capital." Su Ming said to his father at the dinner table.

Su Jianguo was visibly taken aback, as if he hadn't expected this. "Should we go in the next few days or after school starts?"

Su Ming's grades were excellent, and Su Jianguo was even invited by the school, but he didn't have time. He had expected that his son would be able to enter the ancient capital's prestigious university.

"Yes, I'll go in the next few days. I can save some money beforehand. Becoming a magician is too expensive, and I don't even have the tuition money for the academy," Su Ming said.

"I have the tuition fees. I've been working hard every day, rain or shine, and I've saved up quite a bit." Su Jianguo smiled and put a piece of braised pork on Su Ming's plate.

"You should keep it for yourself. Your son is a magician now, making money quickly. He won't have to work so hard in the future. He can rest more. He's getting old and can't compare to when he was young."

Su Jianguo was silent for a while, then nodded in agreement, but felt a little empty inside.

The magician's son has grown up, and he really can't help him much anymore. Su Jianguo is very gratified that his dream of becoming a magician has been realized by his son.

Su Jianguo's sports car has been running non-stop for decades, and Su Ming knows that it's unrealistic to expect his father to stop working just because he said he'd spend money on flowers.

The old man is probably thinking that if he earns more money, he might be able to help him in the future.

My dad was as busy as ever; after a quick meal, he went off to deliver goods again.

After cleaning up the dishes, Su Ming returned to his room, took out the small bottle, and found a crystal inside.

Su Ming later learned that this thing was a magic-sealing crystal, which is a crystal that changes in certain places with abundant magical energy. It contains a huge amount of energy that can help people break through the bottleneck of magic.

Such things are rare, cannot be artificially cultivated, and can only be born in places with soul seeds and spirit seeds, and it takes a long time.

This crystal is of the ice attribute, making it much more effective for breaking through to the ice-based realm. Statistics show that it can at least double the probability of success. It can also be used to break through other magic types, since it contains a huge amount of energy, but the effect is not as good.

It might only have the same effect as before.

Su Ming's spatial connection had reached a bottleneck for a long time. His spatial stardust was as stable as Mount Tai, without any trace of breakage. He didn't know if this demon-sealing crystal could help him break through.

The higher a magician's breakthrough level, the more easily they can influence the surrounding environment.

For example, if a lightning mage attempts to break through at home, the electrical circuits in that house might be damaged.

Space magic is, after all, a dimensional magic, unlike elemental magic. Even if you break through at home and your magic overflows, causing small-scale magic, it won't have much of an impact.

Su Ming asked Xiao Qing to protect him, as she could handle any unexpected events.

She's now even more powerful than Su Ming, that magician.

Taking out the Demon-Sealing Crystal and placing it in front of him, Su Ming closed his eyes and entered the spiritual world, where the two Heart Dusts floated quietly in the dim void.

The sealing crystal overflowed with cold energy, which could be controlled. Su Ming felt his body was about to freeze, and he guided this energy into the stardust of the space system.

The already saturated space-system stardust began to expand, and the seven stars restlessly collided with the stardust barrier, seemingly complaining that the place was too small and they had no room to maneuver.

Click...

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the Stardust Barrier, and silvery radiance began to leak out, scattering across the void and vying for territory with the void itself.

Click... Click...

One... two... three...

The cracks on the stardust wall are increasing, and stardust is being ejected from the stardust. It remains in the void, receiving the silvery light as it moves towards this place.

The energy of the sealing crystal is an explosion of energy. How much can be retained depends on Su Ming's own ability. He can clearly feel the energy leaking away, and waving his hands cannot stop this invisible flow.

Stardust is about to break through, but the energy is insufficient. So far, only five star particles have been released, and the other two are still inside Stardust. There are two gaps in the void, and it has not yet succeeded.

Su Ming gritted his teeth, but these energies didn't care whether he had successfully broken through or not; they poured out into the void at an extremely fast speed, as if they were happy to be free from his control.

Suddenly, just as the energy was about to disappear, the pendant in Su Ming's pocket jumped out. The pendant emitted a blazing light, like a small sun, which stunned Xiao Qing.

In the spiritual world, the energy that was about to be lost suddenly froze. Su Ming was overjoyed and manipulated this energy to pour into the stardust of the space system.

After a moment of silence, the space-type stardust suddenly exploded, rapidly expanding to form a vast domain in the void. Within this domain, numerous star particles, constantly trying to break free, were blocked by the seven vital points and seven star particles, which kept the others inside.

Stardust turns into nebula, mid-level mage.

A phantom appeared in the void—a phantom of the sun?

So dazzling! It cleaved through nothingness, making even nothingness dim, and filling nothingness with its radiance.

What is that?

Su Ming was unable to move, wanting to see clearly but unable to, as it was too far away.

In reality, cold sweat beaded on Su Ming's forehead, and the surroundings were in chaos. The breakthrough in the spatial system had caused an impact, but Xiao Qing stopped it in time.

Xiaoqing flew to the pendant, and the jet-black pendant changed color, turning from black to dark. Debris began to fall off, revealing its original appearance.

The circular pendant is engraved with countless geometric patterns, making one's head ache a little.

Xiaoqing was a little confused. She seemed to have seen this thing somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where.

The illusory light came and went quickly; in an instant, the light was swallowed by nothingness, and Su Ming discovered that he could generate power.

With a sudden thought, Su Ming opened her eyes. She saw the Demon-Sealing Crystal, now reduced to dust, floating on her chest, and also the original pendant, which shone with a fiery hue.

Ring ring ring...

Xiao Qing called out, pointing to the ground near his feet. There were fragments on the ground, faintly visible, that felt like the same material as the previous soul-repairing vessel.

Su Ming suddenly realized, "So you have this function too. No wonder it was left behind by Brother Shaojun."
