Full-Time Magister: Throne of Dimensions

Chapter 5 The Green Porcelain Doll

"Alright then." In the end, Jiang Shaoxu couldn't persuade Su Ming otherwise and reluctantly handed over the dark red pendant, which had some stickers on it, making it look rather strange.

According to Jiang Shaoxu, the pink color is very cute, which is what girly items should look like.

Su Ming didn't care. So what if it looked strange? As long as it worked well.

"By the way, Xu'er, you can easily produce several soul-refining vessels. What exactly does your family do? I have no idea."

"It's just an ordinary little family." Jiang Shaoxu was unwilling to talk much about her family.

"How does it compare to the Han family?"

This was the most powerful family Su Ming could think of—the local tyrants of Zhoucheng.

"More or less..."

"Amazing!!" Su Ming gave a thumbs up. The Han family was very powerful. Since the Jiang family was so powerful, Su Ming wouldn't feel embarrassed about taking the soul-cultivating artifact.

"I'm off to train. I'll show you what real magic is during the New Year."

Su Ming's tone was arrogant, and his walking posture was even more overbearing, which made Jiang Shaoxu unable to help but laugh.

They haven't even controlled a single star yet, what nonsense are they spouting?

There's only so much time left until the Lunar New Year; even a god couldn't make it that way.

When Su Ming returned to the classroom, he found that everyone was secretly looking at him, and they would hurriedly look away whenever he looked over.

It's obvious why these people are like this.

He's just gotten a little closer to Xiao Xu'er. He can do whatever he wants without being influenced by his surroundings. These people are dispensable and have no impact on him.

However, Han Bing's gaze was somewhat piercing.

Su Ming muttered to himself, "Han Bing always has such a noble and righteous image. No matter where he goes, he is always surrounded by a group of followers, and there are always female classmates who are infatuated with him."

I never expected someone like that to like Xiaoxuer.

That's normal, though. With Xiaoxu'er's looks and figure, who wouldn't be smitten? Especially since the school is full of teenagers.

I yearn for beautiful things, and even if I can't have them, I can fantasize that I will.

Well, it's not their fault. Xiao Xu'er's figure is becoming more and more perfect, and even he can't control his body's instincts. It's unrealistic to expect these people who only control a maximum of three stars.

"Boss, what happened?" Liu Qi chuckled and came over.

Seeing his expression, Su Ming understood why Xiao Xu'er had suddenly come to find him.

It seems this guy is the matchmaker for our relationship.

Liu Qi only played a leading role; the key was that Jiang Shaoxu cared about Su Ming.

Su Ming hadn't managed to get a single star in three months, so Jiang Shaoxu must have known. But the two of them had broken up long ago; one was in Class 7, and the other was in Class 3. They had no contact whatsoever, so she had no reason to come looking for Su Ming.

Liu Qi gave Jiang Shaoxu a reason, and at the same time, he could gain some goodwill and perhaps even make Jiang Shaoxu owe him a favor.

Of course, whether or not a favor is owed depends on how much Su Ming means to Jiang Shaoxu.

"Well done." Su Ming was very satisfied with Liu Qi's actions, which brought him and Xiao Xu'er closer together.

Their relationship started out of nowhere, and their breakup was equally inexplicable. It seems like the breakup didn't have any impact on them at all. It's just that Su Ming has been busy with his own things lately and hasn't had much contact with Jiang Shaoxu.

"Absolutely." Liu Qi gave a thumbs up.

Su Ming smiled and sat down to begin manipulating the arrangement of the stars.

The soul-cultivation vessel is only useful during meditation and cultivation; controlling the star points still requires one's own effort.

The teacher's teaching was still very useful. Su Ming would stop and teach seriously from time to time. Most people did not realize the importance of theoretical classes and just treated them as a way to get by.

These people only care about magic, and practical classes are their favorite.

Su Ming found it somewhat amusing to look at this group of people.

A person can lift a stone cauldron weighing a thousand catties, but if they don't find the right point to exert force, they still can't lift it.

The reason I was able to lift it was because I found a method.

How similar these students are!

No lesson in school is superfluous. In this world full of demons, strength is important, but so is knowledge.

When facing certain demons, they can quickly find their weaknesses.

This is the most important point. Su Ming has seen many images of demons, and he doesn't think he can survive being slapped by a demon with a huge system.

Time flies, and winter is here in the blink of an eye.

There is no such thing as make-up classes at magic schools. The winter break is as long as two months, which is to allow students to rest properly. After all, it is not advisable to push them too hard when they have just awakened their magic.

The real test of endurance begins in the last two academic years, which directly impacts one's future at the magic academy.

There are no shortcuts in magical cultivation; a genius is a genius, and a novice is a novice.

Magic academies only admit magicians who are expected to become independent in the future; those who are just filling in will be eliminated during this period.

Those people either became hunter mages to make a living, or they gave up magic and went into other professions.

Su Ming is a man with goals. The Demon Capital Academy, the Pearl Academy, the Imperial Capital Academy, and the Ancient Capital Academy are all within his selection range.

His preferred choice is a university in an ancient capital, partly because it's closer to home and he can visit his father in his spare time.

However, admission to these top-tier academies requires exceptional magical talent. Ordinary mages need at least three years to master at least the basic to advanced levels of magic before they can be admitted.

Some special individuals may receive special care.

The soul-repairing vessel is indeed very useful.

Su Ming could clearly feel that his improvement speed had greatly accelerated, and according to his estimate, he would be able to release a basic summoning spell in just a few days.

I will also be able to master spatial magic in the next school year.

……

Su Ming sat on the bed, controlling the summoned star.

One, two... seven...

It wasn't until sweat beaded on Su Ming's face that he successfully arranged the seven stars.

Seven stars connected to form a moon-white star trail, piercing through space, and the moon-white light shone around Su Ming.

A line was drawn across the dimensional space by star trails, deep and dark, creating a rift with another dimension.

A crescent-shaped dimensional gate opened, and Su Ming sat on the bed, his soul able to roam freely outside, passing through the cracks opened by the star trails, his vision suddenly opening up.

A brand new, mysterious continent appeared before our eyes.

Everything on the mainland felt so real, yet it gave off an illusory feeling, like a mirage that could vanish at any moment.

"This is the Summoning Plane!!" Su Ming was very excited, surveying his territory like a king.

A single thought can traverse a distance of ten thousand meters.

Su Ming was searching for his goal on the continent. His first summoned beast was crucial, and Su Ming was not going to choose one casually.

There are limitations to how long a soul can remain in the summoning plane. This depends on the magical energy of the summoning stardust; the more magical energy, the longer it can remain, and vice versa.

Su Ming was very fast. The continent was home to many creatures, and Su Ming could sense their disappearance.

Suddenly, a forest appeared in the distance, stretching as far as the eye could see, with each tree seemingly reaching the sky and its end out of sight.

At the edge of the forest, Su Ming spotted a palm-sized, green, doll-like floating creature. Nearby was a light, green ornament, commonly known as a feather robe.

She floated quietly in the middle, her body bathed in sunlight, enjoying a sunbath.

Not recognizing what it was, Su Ming prepared to leave.

Although this creature was somewhat peculiar, Su Ming had no idea whether it possessed any power. Some summoned beasts were merely decorative items, and this creature might also be just that—decorations. After forming a contract, Su Ming would not only fail to gain any benefits but would also frequently have his summoned magical energy consumed.

Not cost-effective.

As Su Ming was about to leave, the green porcelain doll suddenly sensed something and looked at Su Ming.

Ring bell…

Summoned creatures speak different languages ​​than humans, so Su Ming didn't know what the doll was calling. She flew to Su Ming's side and sniffed him from left to right, seemingly liking his scent.

"You want to become my summoned beast?" Such a sentient being might not be just for show; I might give it a try.

"Ringling..."

The porcelain doll looked up, her face filled with a big question mark, not understanding what Su Ming meant.

Well, before a contract is formed with a summoned beast, those summoned creatures cannot understand human emotions and language.

The only way to judge is from the most direct facial changes.

The porcelain doll couldn't understand what he was saying.

An irregular geometric pattern appeared in Su Ming's hand, bathed in moonlight.

This is a basic summoning spell, Contract.

This magic allows you to establish a cooperative relationship with creatures from the summoned plane.

They are on good terms and support each other.

The only drawback is that this contract is very domineering; once it is successful, it cannot be broken, as it is a contract targeting the soul.
