Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

Dean Xiao said, "I understand. In that case, I'll get you into the main campus next year. Aren't you afraid of actually turning into a pig one day if you keep pretending to be one to eat the tiger?"

Lin Chen looked speechless and said, "That's not a good idea, is it?"

Dean Xiao smiled coldly and said, "I think it's great. Not only will you enter the main campus, but you'll also participate in the academy exchange competition next year. A near Super-Order mage is still pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger in university. Aren't you ashamed!"

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. I'm only Advanced Second Level!" Lin Chen scratched his head awkwardly, not liking the feeling of being seen through. The power of a forbidden curse is terrifying!

Dean Xiao snorted and said, "Heh heh, finally willing to tell the truth? Don't worry, everyone has their own opportunities. I won't ask too much about your secrets. If you need any help, you can come directly to me!"

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said seriously, "Since the Dean has said so, it would be ungrateful of me to refuse!"

Dean Xiao didn't show it on the surface, but he was overjoyed inside. With him, Pearl Academy is sure to win next year's academy exchange competition.

"You should be familiar with the Three-Step Tower, right?" Dean Xiao asked.

Lin Chen nodded and said with a smile, "Is the Dean going to give me a spot in the Three-Step Tower?"

Dean Xiao said, "The Three-Step Tower doesn't offer much help to Advanced mages. Your situation is very special, and the academy can't help you much, so I'll give you three slots in the Three-Step Tower, each for seven days, as a reward for your contribution to Bo City!"

Lin Chen said with a grin, "Thank you, Dean Xiao. Don't worry, I guarantee I'll bring back first place in next year's exchange competition!"

Dean Xiao smiled with satisfaction. He hadn't had much contact with Lin Chen and thought he was an introverted child, but he didn't expect Lin Chen to be easy to get along with and, more importantly, to be clear-headed, understanding things with just a hint.

Dean Xiao patted Lin Chen's shoulder with satisfaction, gave him a few instructions, and then said goodbye and left!

Lin Chen watched Dean Xiao's departing figure, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and muttered to himself, "Interesting old man!"

Using both kindness and power, offering a carrot after a stick, how could Lin Chen not understand these simple tactics?

But he still cooperated with Dean Xiao. There was no choice. One has to bow their head under the eaves, especially since the other party had no malicious intent.

As for the Three-Step Tower, Lin Chen also understood Dean Xiao's intention. This was equivalent to mutual benefit. In the future, if Lin Chen achieved results, the academy could proudly say, "Lin Chen was cultivated by our Pearl Academy!"

But if they hadn't given Lin Chen resources, would the academy still have the nerve to say that? Even if they did, they would lack confidence.

There is no free lunch in the world. Responsibility and rights are equal. Lin Chen has the right to enjoy Pearl Academy's resources, which also means he has the responsibility to win honor for Pearl Academy.

Therefore, Lin Chen and Dean Xiao had implicitly reached this transaction. It's good for you, good for me, good for everyone. This is the real good.

Since there were free resources to use, with the idea of not using them for nothing, Lin Chen walked towards the Three-Step Tower.

The Three-Step Tower is one of the most important resources of Pearl Academy's main campus, and its slots are coveted by many.

It is because of the existence of the Three-Step Tower that Pearl Academy is loved by many mages.

The function of the Three-Step Tower is to gather the elements of heaven and earth within the tower and compress them into a specific space.

Once a mage enters the Three-Step Tower, they can easily sense the omnipresent elemental power. Cultivating in an environment with a high concentration of elements can accelerate their cultivation speed and make it easier to break through their current bottlenecks.

But for Lin Chen, the cultivation slots in the Three-Step Tower had become dispensable, and Lin Chen didn't care much about it.

With Qiu'er's help, Lin Chen was equivalent to cultivating in a miniature Three-Step Tower at all times.

Within the Three-Step Tower, each level has a different concentration of magical elements. The higher the level, the higher the concentration of elements, but to cultivate on a higher level, one needs to have strong spiritual power and magical energy.

The Three-Step Tower is also like a gravity space. Each time one steps up a level, it constantly consumes spiritual power and magical energy.

Once one can't bear it, they will faint in the Three-Step Tower, wasting the opportunity to cultivate in the Three-Step Tower.

Therefore, everyone who enters the Three-Step Tower will do what they can to avoid losing more than they gain.

Before long, the Three-Step Tower came into Lin Chen's view.

The exterior of the Three-Step Tower is a detached triangular shape, with three completely symmetrical sides. The metal-constructed Three-Step Tower forms a stark contrast with ordinary teaching buildings.

In front of the Three-Step Tower, two guards were stationed there. Lin Chen handed over his student ID, and after a while, the other party confirmed Lin Chen's information.

After the guard opened the door, Lin Chen slowly walked in.

The interior of the Three-Step Tower is a space of its own, very vast. As soon as he entered the Three-Step Tower, he saw a metallic passage in front of him. After walking for a long time, a staircase appeared.

Lin Chen walked up the stairs step by step. Each level had a huge platform for mages to cultivate.

Every step was consuming the magical energy and spiritual power in Lin Chen's body.

For Intermediate mages, each level is a great obstacle, but for Lin Chen, this was easy.

Lin Chen, who cultivated both soul and magic, had a body strength that had already reached a terrifying level. Ordinary Commander-level demons were difficult to compare with.

After nearly four years of cultivation, his spiritual power level had reached level eight.

On the staircase leading to the fourth level, he felt a slight pressure, but it was far from reaching Lin Chen's limit.

After consuming the magical energy of four Advanced magic systems, Lin Chen finally arrived at the fifth level.

The fifth level of the Three-Step Tower is the top level. At this time, the platform on the top level was empty, and a strong elemental power permeated everywhere. Lin Chen quickly came to the center of the platform. He was not in a hurry to cultivate, but released Qian Renxue and Hu Liena.

The two women appeared, looking at each other, but soon the two women discovered the uniqueness of this place. The 320x amplification, coupled with the soul skill cultivation magic tool, made the cultivation speed extremely terrifying.

The three of them didn't waste any time and immediately sat cross-legged, took out energy crystals, and began to cultivate.

Three months ago, Lin Chen's Summoning magic had reached Advanced Second Level. At that time, he summoned the Emerald Swan - Bi Ji from the Star Dou Great Forest. Bi Ji's appearance also helped Lin Chen awaken Healing magic.

The number of Lin Chen's magic systems had reached a terrifying eleven.

Three months later, today, he was already a full-system Advanced Second Level mage.

The rich elemental power frantically entered the bodies of the three, and combined with the elemental energy of the energy crystals, the magic cultivation of the three continued to grow at an extremely fast speed.

But only half a day later, the cultivation speed of the three suddenly decreased. The three were not disappointed and continued to cultivate hard.
