Full-Time Magister: I Have Avatars in All Realms

Chapter 4 Essence

Almost the instant the train collided with the skeletal undead, the train shook violently, and screams erupted from the carriages.

This was the first time Mu Ningxue had ever seen anything like this. Her face was tense, and she kept clutching Chen Qing's clothes.

Chen Qing glanced out the window with a grave expression; the situation was not good.

As night fell, the spirits of the dead began to rise. The protective barrier was broken, and its function of concealment and protection was impaired. Their numerous living beings and their blood and energy stood out conspicuously in this land of the dead.

As expected, a small-scale zombie horde will soon emerge once the sun sets.

Now all they can do is pray that they are lucky enough that no undead will block the train's progress.

The train has a special magic array, but its defensive effect is ultimately limited. If a corpse general blocks the way, it will be troublesome, and the entire train will be forced to stop. At that time, they will be in danger!

Chen Qing silently prayed that the worst-case scenario wouldn't happen.

Perhaps heaven heard his heartfelt wish, for there was indeed no corpse blocking his path.

As the train slowly passed through the damaged security barrier, Chen Qing's heart finally settled down.

But the next moment, a ghostly green face suddenly appeared outside the window!

The train barrier array seemed to have nothing to it, and it passed through it with ease.

Chen Qing was startled, but then recognized it as a ghost-like undead.

The spirits of the dead in ancient capitals can be broadly divided into four categories: corpses, ghosts, phantoms, and skeletons.

Among them, ghost-type undead are the most troublesome. These undead often have no physical form, so they are immune to most elemental magic. And it is extremely rare for a mage to awaken magic other than elemental magic before reaching a high level.

Therefore, even ordinary mid-level mages are helpless against it.

The other mages are not in this carriage right now, and even if they come, it will take them time, and they may not even have a way to deal with the ghosts.

The moment the ghost entered, it was like a wolf among sheep, its face revealing a twisted, bloodthirsty expression, as if it wanted to have a good meal.

The first thing it targeted was a mother and child who were closest to it. A young mother was holding her infant child, who was trying to curl up inside her. The sudden scene disrupted the carriage, and everyone was too busy taking care of themselves to care about anyone else.

With many people blocking his way, Chen Qing couldn't reach the scene immediately. Seeing that the mother and child were about to be killed, he couldn't care less about anything else at that moment. He gritted his teeth fiercely:

"Soul Transfer Technique!"

Over the past three months, Chen Qing from the Condor Heroes world had already obtained the Nine Yin Manual fragments that Wang Chongyang had carved in the ancient tomb by diving into the pool, which included the "Soul Transfer Technique" that he had always longed for.

And as he expected, the "Soul Transfer Technique" was indeed a method for cultivating spiritual power. After several months of training, with the added spiritual power from the shared space, his spiritual realm had successfully broken through to the first stage.

However, he had never used this in actual combat, let alone against a ghost, a monster that could almost be called a mental specialist.

Therefore, Chen Qing was actually not confident about facing the ghost.

However, he couldn't just stand by and watch two vibrant lives slip away before his eyes, so Chen Qing had no choice but to take a gamble.

But to his surprise, he made the right bet!

When he activated the Soul Transfer Technique, the ghost was immediately and easily controlled, frozen in place without moving.

Chen Qing was surprised to discover that his technique could also receive a three-fold boost from the shared space. With this three-fold increase, the mere ghost was no match for his powerful technique.

"Everyone back off!" Chen Qing shouted.

Strike while the iron is hot and kill it!

After everyone else in the carriage had retreated to a safe distance, Chen Qing calmed down and, while maintaining control of the Soul Transfer Technique, constructed a dazzling star trail of light.

"Radiant Purification!"

Even though it was only a first-level Radiance, when facing the ghost, it was like boiling oil in a raging fire, instantly burning the ghost's entire body. The ghost took the opportunity to break free of control, but it was powerless to turn the tide.

With just a single burst of light, it severely injured a ghost that most mid-level mages were helpless against!

Chen Qing did not slack off in the slightest. He knew clearly that one should never let one's guard down against undead until they were completely dead.

He immediately added another burst of brilliance.

This time, the ghost was truly burned to ashes, but Chen Qing was still not at ease, so he flicked the light at the ashes again.

With the added power of the spatial dimension, his magical energy is three times that of an ordinary mage, enough for him to wreak havoc.

After the ghost died, a wisp of dark blue soul floated out of its body, startling Chen Qing so much that he almost threw the light at it again. But upon closer inspection, he realized that it was the exploded essence!

Ghost-type undead are known for their spirituality, and therefore have a higher probability of producing spirit essence.

But Chen Qing was unexpectedly lucky. On his first encounter with the undead, he killed one and it dropped a spirit essence.

However, he currently lacks a vessel for the dead, making it impossible to contain their essence.

But then, Chen Qing had a sudden inspiration. He tried to use the Soul Transfer Technique to move the essence into his spiritual world. Unexpectedly, it went very smoothly, so he fed the essence to the star of the light system.

Rather than letting it dissipate, it's better to recycle it. Chen Qing was actually quite looking forward to seeing what kind of heaven-defying power he would unleash if he were to use the fourth level of Radiance, given his current situation.

Seeing him swiftly and easily eliminate the undead, the disorienting feeling of surviving a catastrophe caused everyone in the carriage to cheer.

The young mother he rescued knelt before him, tears welling in her eyes, saying, "My benefactor, thank you so much for saving my life!"

Chen Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly helped the other person up.

Mu Ningxue rushed to him anxiously, carefully checking him for injuries. She breathed a sigh of relief only after finding none, her tone still cold:

"I don't think you'll be in any trouble. You're incredibly brave; that's a ghost!"

Although he seemed fierce, his words were filled with deep concern.

Seeing everyone's genuine smiles, Chen Qing felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and he smiled back.

"The reason why monks are great is precisely because we always stand in front of everyone and shield them from the wind and rain. I know that even if I don't step forward, you won't stand idly by."

Mu Ningxue snorted coldly and did not refute.

As an absolute privileged class in this society, mages do not conquer everything solely through supreme military force; behind their name lies protection and resilience.

Master Wei's group arrived late, and by the time they got there, everything had already been settled.

"How's it going? Are there any casualties?"
