"Mu Bai, you go first."
On the grand Magic training field, Instructor Xue Musheng called out.
At Xue Musheng's summons, from the class lineup, a tall and handsome youth in white stepped forward.
Fang Yu's expression shifted slightly when he saw this scene.
He was not unfamiliar with Mu Bai.
An important supporting character early on, he and Mo Fan could not stand each other, but later, after enduring hardships together and clearing up misunderstandings, they became close allies.
His uncle, Mu He, was one of the managers of the Mu Clan and also a board member of Tianlan Magic High School.
However, Fang Yu knew that Mu He was actually a high-ranking member of the Black Vatican, the Hujin Deacon.
Three years later, it would be Mu He, as one of the executors, who would drive the massive hordes of demons outside the city in an attempt to destroy Bo City. Later on, he would even instigate calamities that nearly slaughtered millions in the Ancient Capital.
On the Awakening platform.
Mu Bai appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was tense as he placed his hand upon the Awakening Stone, which resembled a thick star compass…
Suddenly, starlight radiated from the Awakening Stone. These rays connected into streaks of star marks like special veins and blood vessels that climbed onto Mu Bai's right hand.
In an instant, a frosty aura began to swirl there.
The frost grew stronger and stronger, gradually freezing the edge of the Awakening Stone, forming a layer of thin ice!
"Holy crap!"
"It's the Ice Element! That's one of the most desired Elements during Awakening, combining both damage and control!"
"As expected of a Mu Clan descendant."
Amid the surrounding voices, Mu Bai became the focus of the entire field. He opened his eyes in delight!
It really was the Ice Element. Having obtained the Mu Clan's fundamental Element, he would be more easily accepted into the Mu Clan. His rise to prominence was not far off.
He glanced at Mo Fan at the end of the line and snorted coldly. Now dealing with a small fry like Mo Fan would be no different from crushing an ant…
No, wait!
Mu Bai began calculating his future plans.
Having Awakened the Ice Element, he was now considered an orthodox disciple of the Mu Clan. Why would he even need to bother with that kid anymore?
His vision had to be broader. Yes, broader. Perhaps he might even have the chance to cultivate together with Mu Ningxue!
"Next, Qiu Yueying!"
As soon as the instructor finished speaking, a girl with a hint of heroism on her face stepped forward.
"Good, Earth Element. Your Stardust foundation is solid. It seems inseparable from your previous hard work!"
"Next, Xu Qinglin!"
"Next…"
Fang Yu saw some Awaken the Earth Element, others the Wind Element, all within the seven major Elemental Magic types. Nothing unusual.
Of course, he also saw a few classmates fail to Awaken, their disappointment evident as some could not help but shed tears.
After a while, another boy in the line touched Awakening Stone. A brilliant golden radiance shone forth, sacred beyond compare.
Light Element Awakening!
"The Light Element? One of the most useless Elements."
"No helping it. The Light Element's Basic-Tier Spell, Light Illumination, is just a big light bulb, completely useless."
"Time to head to the rooftop. We can go together," said a classmate who had Awakened the Water Element.
Awakening the Light Element was bad enough, but the surrounding students were gossiping without restraint.
The boy in the dark blue tracksuit walked away from the Awakening Stone with an unhappy expression, preparing to head toward the rooftop.
Xue Musheng's eyes carried a trace of sympathy. In a comforting tone, he said, "Don't lose heart. No matter which Element you cultivate, it's the same. As long as you can reach the Mid-Tier level, you will gain greater advantages."
Mm!
The boy paused, feeling there was some truth to it. Once he broke through to Mid-Tier, he would specialize in another Element and surely wash away today's humiliation.
Watching this unfold, Fang Yu felt speechless.
He knew this was a misconception, the drawback of living in a small city with limited information.
The Light Element at the Basic-Tier was not useless.
Against Dark Magic, the Light Element was highly effective. Moreover, the Ancient Capital within the country suffered year-round from the Undead Empire's encroachment. There, Light Magic was extremely useful and highly sought after.
Soon.
It was finally Fang Yu's turn. He took a deep breath, slightly nervous. Magic Awakening concerned his future.
Hopefully it would give him something powerful; otherwise, in the face of future disasters, he might only end up as a "war correspondent."
"Buzz, buzz…"
Very soon, Fang Yu closed his eyes. In his spiritual world, aside from the ancient tree, there was only endless void and darkness—nothing at all, everything empty. At this moment, a warm magical energy flowed from his hand, traveling along his arm straight into his mind.
Immediately afterward, as if imbued with some wondrous power, a light drizzle suddenly fell within that void-like spiritual world.
Normally, with eyes closed, one would see nothing. But magical energy manifested the spiritual world in a direct and visible way.
Fang Yu saw that within his emptiness appeared a very small Stardust. Compared to the entire dark universe, it was dim and minuscule as dust, yet it shone with a silver radiance.
Hm?
Wait, what color was the Stardust?
Purple Stardust represented the Lightning Element.
Red Stardust represented the Fire Element.
Cyan Stardust represented the Wind Element.
Brown Stardust represented the Earth Element.
Blue Stardust represented the Water Element.
Golden Stardust represented the Light Element.
Silver Stardust represented…
Holy crap!
In that instant, Fang Yu was completely stunned!!
Silver!
His Stardust was silver, he actually had silver Stardust! It did not belong to the seven major Elemental Magic types, but to Dimensional Magic the Space Element.
But before Fang Yu could rejoice, the mysterious ancient tree standing in his spiritual world burst forth with dazzling brilliance.
Within the ancient tree.
As the Awakening energy flowed into one of its branches, a sphere gradually formed, about the size of an apple, icy blue in color.
This ice orb, crystalline and resplendent like blue agate, emitted a blazing azure divine glow that encircled the ancient tree, appearing incomparably mysterious.
"Thump, thump, thump…"
The sound of the ice orb beating echoed out, it was actually pulsing!
At this moment, each pulse of the crystalline and vivid blue sphere made his blood surge.
In an instant, he felt as though he stood within a land of endless extreme cold.
Just as Fang Yu was struck with astonishment, a crisp sound rang out from ahead.
Clang!
It was as if something shattered within his spiritual world, and the void immediately receded.
Buzz!
When Fang Yu could see clearly again, he discovered that the ice sphere had fallen from the branch. It streaked across the spiritual void in a trail of icy blue radiance, tearing open the world and carving out a second Stardust that shimmered with ice-blue brilliance.
Ice Element Awakening!
At this moment, within the dim universe, silver and ice-blue Stardust shone against one another.
"Space Element, Ice Element—dual Elements at the Basic-Tier!"
With the Awakening complete, Fang Yu could barely contain his excitement.
The mysterious ancient tree was this a system? Had it created his second Magic Element, granting him the talent of dual Elements at the Basic-Tier?
Compared to some vague and intangible system, Fang Yu was more willing to believe it was a supreme treasure.
But he had never heard of such an overpowered treasure. Nor had he ever heard of anything capable of assisting in Awakening Magic.
Fang Yu's emotions surged.
In the span of a single second, countless possibilities flashed through his mind.
Yet if it were him, perhaps it was possible?
As a transmigrator, he was not exactly normal to begin with.
Mo Fan possessed Innate Dual Elements. As for him, Fang Yu, having the mysterious ancient tree help him Awaken the Ice Element—very reasonable, right?
"Calm down first!"
No matter how one looked at it, this was a good thing. This seemed to be the golden finger of his transmigration.
From shock to joy, Fang Yu finally felt relieved.
Ever since realizing he had transmigrated, he had always felt uneasy, as though something was missing. Now, at last, he felt at ease. The happiness of a transmigrator was just this simple and unadorned.
