Full-Time Magister: Throne of Dimensions

Chapter 147 A New Round of Competition Begins

"Time is different in the ancient tomb than outside. I've been here for two years, and Mu Qianjin seems to have been here for five. Although it's been a long time, our magical cultivation hasn't improved. We can only practice the spells we're already familiar with," Jiang Shaoxu said.

"This prison is big—pretty tough, huh?"

A mid-level mage has been made capable of casting high-level magic, which is beyond the realm of common sense. However, something was already amiss here, so it's already beyond the realm of common sense. It just makes the already strange things even stranger.

"It's alright, actually, since this place is fake."

"You know?"

Jiang Shaoxu blinked and said, "A normal person should know this, after all, it's been many years since we left here, and only a few days since we left outside. Knowing this is one thing, but not understanding the principle behind it, and not being able to find a way to leave."

"That's true."

Fortunately, the battle inside continued. To call it a battle is not quite accurate; it was just a one-man show by Mugan Jin. Han Bing was constantly being crushed and was frequently turned into mist, which made him very frustrated.

Frustrated as he was, the key issue was that he didn't have any solutions. He couldn't defeat Mugankin on his own, and there weren't many Black Vatican members around if he relied on others. Mainly, there weren't many people in their camp, except for that person. As for alarming that person...

Han Bing felt that being beaten was quite nice; it was more comfortable than disturbing that important person, otherwise it would be a true hell on earth.

Muganjin once again blasted him into mist, and the ice condensed again, but this time there were no more attacks. Judging by the time, Muganjin must have gotten tired of fighting.

Han Bing breathed a sigh of relief; it was finally over.

Mugankin dispelled the spell, and the ice that had already been released could no longer be removed; it could only be left to melt on its own.

Mu Qianjin made a hole in the ice and walked out. A lot of people gathered around. Everyone was quite free. Although they were wary of the possibility of her disappearing and did not attack the ice, they could still take a look.

This is also one of their forms of entertainment.

Mu Qianjin was somewhat lost in thought when she saw Su Ming.

After standing there for a while, Mu Ganjin walked towards Su Ming with a smile: "Long time no see."

"Yeah, long time no see." Su Ming sighed. Three years. Three years have passed in the blink of an eye. It's too fast. It's so fast that he didn't even realize that three years had passed.

Jiang Shaoxu looked at Su Ming, then at Mu Qianjin, and felt as if her home had been stolen.

"You two know each other?"

"Yes, we went to Helan Mountain together before," Su Ming replied.

"That's great, you go out to train together." Jiang Shaoxu said sourly, "Didn't something happen in Helan Mountain? When did you go?"

"About three years ago, when we went there, Helan Mountain hadn't changed yet; it only appeared after we came back," Su Ming replied casually, adding that he had also noticed it.

It's best not to let Jiang Shaoxu know that I've been staying in Helan Mountain for three years, so as not to worry her and ask her all sorts of questions. We can talk about it after we leave the ancient tomb, in case she asks what I've been doing all these years.

You're really lucky. If the Helan Mountain incident had happened, your small frame probably wouldn't have made it back.

"That's what I mean, I've always been lucky."

As Su Ming said this, Mu Ganjin understood what he meant and didn't say anything more.

She was curious about the relationship between Su Ming and Jiang Shaoxu. Although it hadn't been long for outsiders, Mu Ganjin and Jiang Shaoxu had known each other for several years here, at least subjectively.

She knew a little about Jiang Shaoxu's background. The Jiang family, her brother had told her before, was a very powerful family, and the people in it were quite upright, had a strong sense of justice, and would not bully the weak, much better than the Mu family.

"So why did you go into this ancient tomb? Did Mu Gannian really let you in?" Su Ming asked, puzzled. Han Ji said he was a little confused when Mu Ganjin went into the ancient tomb. Would Mu Gannian really let his younger sister risk her life?

Don't even think about it. If he were here, even the King of Heaven himself couldn't have tricked Mu Qianjin into coming to this ancient tomb, unless Mu Qiannian wasn't in the ancient capital. "Hey, don't ask about this, it'll make people sad." Jiang Shaoxu whispered to Su Ming. She knew why Mu Qianjin had come in; it was mainly because they had stayed for a long time and had a good relationship.

Mu Ganjin looked somewhat dejected. She sighed and said, "My brother has disappeared. He went to the Tianshan Mountains."

Su Ming shrugged. Tianshan was a deadly place; even those who hadn't been there had heard of it. Su Ming didn't want to go to such a place; it was too dangerous, a veritable forbidden zone for life. Going there would be suicide.

Mu Gannian actually ran off there and disappeared. That's quite a clever move. If someone disappears in the Tianshan Mountains, the chances of them being dead are probably no.

Muganjin probably knew this too, but she still held onto hope.

So what does this have to do with you coming to the ancient tomb?

"It was someone called Jiuyouhou who sent her. She said that only if Qianjin enters the ancient tomb will she go to Tianshan to find her brother. As for who Jiuyouhou is, I don't know, nor do I know how capable she is, but since Qianjin believes her so much, she must have some ability," Jiang Shaoxu said.

"She's really capable; finding someone shouldn't be a problem," Su Ming said. "The Nine Netherworld Queen brought him back from Helan Mountain not long ago. As long as Mu Gannian is still alive, bringing him back shouldn't be a problem."

"Don't stand there, let's go inside and talk," Jiang Shaoxu said, leading the way away.

Along the way, Jiang Shaoxu shared many of his insights, and Mu Ganjin also joined in. Although Mu Bai and Jiang Shaotian had also discussed it, everyone had different perspectives, so there was no harm in listening to more.

According to Mu Ganjin, Bai Laoda seems to have encountered some problems. He has become somewhat abnormal in various aspects, and the current Bai Laoda is different from the one before.

"I used to be able to see Bai Laoda, and he was willing to talk to me, but not recently. He seems to have something on his mind, and there's been no sign of him showing up for a long time," Mu Ganjin said.

"I don't know much about Honglao Da. He invited me to join that camp before, but after I refused, he never contacted me again."

Just as Su Ming was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed. Not only Su Ming's expression changed, but Mu Ganjin and Jiang Shaoxu's expressions also changed.

It seemed as if an electrical wave appeared in their minds. Not only them, but everyone in this ancient tomb experienced the same electrical wave, and a message was transmitted to their minds.

"It's started, a new round of competition, but this time..." Jiang Shaotian stood up, somewhat differently, because there were too many participants in this competition.

"This covers everyone, right? This is the first time I've encountered this. What exactly is going on?" Xu Sheng squinted, somewhat confused.

This shouldn't happen.
