After Awakening, Cultivation Was a Must

"I never expected it! I was Innate Dual Element too, and I even awakened the Space Element at the beginner level!"

"But why did this Lightning Element change from purple to bright white?"

Lin Lan was overjoyed. Perhaps his Lightning Element possessed some extraordinary innate talent~ He could already picture himself punching the Holy City and kicking the Black Vatican.

"Wait... won't I expose my Innate Dual Element? Holy crab!"

The thought made Lin Lan panic a little. Just as he was about to think of a solution...

"Lightning Element, another Lightning Element user... Someone else awakened the Lightning Element!"

"Damn, are you kidding me? Another insanely awesome Lightning Element!"

"How are Water Element and Light Element people like us supposed to survive?"

"Which brainless clown said the last two elements were at the bottom? Come out and play some word games, damn it."

As the entire class rose to their feet and cried out in shock, a huge crowd of students gathered outside as well. Exclamations rose and fell, and every gaze turned toward Lin Lan, filled with envy. They wished they could take his place.

Crack~ Just as the Awakening Stone was about to reveal a silver glow, it split apart.

"Hehehe, promotion and a raise! The homeroom teacher of Class Three never expected our class to have a Lightning Element user too!"

"Damn, why did it crack?!"

Xue Sheng had been indulging in his fantasies when this sudden change occurred. But it was no big deal. He glanced at the star particles displayed on Lin Lan's school badge—oh my God, two of them were lit up. Xue Sheng immediately broke into a grin.

"Not bad, Lin Lan. It doesn't matter that the Awakening Stone cracked. It would've been useless after the whole class finished awakening anyway."

"Your talent is excellent, and you lit up two star particles right away. Not bad, not bad. I'll apply to the principal for a bonus for you!" Praise was written all over Xue Sheng's face. His gaze at Lin Lan was so heated it practically turned sticky.

"Alright, alright, Teacher. We'll talk later, later!" Lin Lan got goosebumps just looking at him. Who knew what his homeroom teacher was thinking? He hurriedly ran down.

"Brother Lan, that was awesome! First in the class—no, first in the whole school."

"Lanzi, not bad. Your Lightning Element talent is really high!" Zhang Xiaohou and Mo Fan both praised him. Mo Fan seemed to have figured it out too. They had grown up together, and he trusted his brother.

"Sure thing, sure thing. I'm treating tonight. Let's hit the barbecue stall~"

"Hell yeah~ Brother Lan is generous."

At an old barbecue stall in Bocheng.

"Brother Lan, Brother Fan, you two totally slapped Zhao Kun San's face swollen today."

"After school this afternoon, I saw him. The moment he saw us, he ran off like a rat with its tail tucked between its legs. Hahaha~"

"Burp~" Zhang Xiaohou had already drunk a little too much. After saying that, he collapsed onto the table, unconscious.

"Lanzi, we're brothers, right?" Seeing Zhang Xiaohou go down, Mo Fan immediately leaned toward Lin Lan with an eager look. Lin Lan glanced at Mo Fan and said:

"I know what you want to say. Don't worry, I don't think anything of your Innate Dual Element. And it really is a smart choice for you to hide your strength."

The moment Mo Fan heard that, his face lit up with joy.

"Come on, Brother Lan, bottoms up~"

"Come on."

Mo Fan was a pretty good person, and he was also the child of destiny. Opportunities surrounded him, his future potential was immense, and he would become a great Archmage. His Fusion Magic would usher in an era for humanity.

The future appearances of the World Roof Emperor, Sea Emperor, and Kunlun Emperor would also be a tremendous help to humanity.

After several rounds of drinks, Mo Fan supported Zhang Xiaohou as the two returned to the dormitory. Lin Lan, meanwhile, headed up to the school rooftop. Ever since being struck by lightning, he did not get dizzy or blurry-eyed from drinking. He could run and jump just fine...

Lin Lan sat down and began meditating.

The seven star particles in his Lightning Element star dust cheered and leapt about, carrying a hint of wildness. The Space Element star particles were far more obedient and mysterious, as though waiting for Lin Lan to lift their veil of mystery.

"The Space Element's effects are tied to mental strength. If I cultivate the Space Element well, fighting a hundred enemies alone won't be a problem later on."

"It has control when you need control, damage when you need damage. If you can't win, just use Instantaneous Movement and run away. It's practically the king of Dimensional Magic!"

"The Lightning Element can wait a little. Two star particles are already lit, so there's no need to rush. But why is its color bright white? And why does this Lightning Element feel like something I've seen before?"

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Lan decided to favor his Space Element consort first. His Lightning Element consort could wait a while longer.

"I cultivated for two and a half hours and don't feel tired at all..." Lin Lan remembered that ordinary beginner mages in the original story could cultivate for at most five hours a day. Mo Fan could only cultivate for ten hours because of the Star Dust Magic Tool. In his current state, he could probably keep going for another half a day.

Besides, that Space Element star particle was quite obedient. He succeeded right away.

"Is my talent just exceptional, or is my mental strength high because I transmigrated?" Lin Lan could not quite figure it out. Meditation cultivated a mage's mental strength, allowing them to control star particles and cast magic.

It seemed his mental strength was fairly high too, though he did not know what stage it was at. Mental strength had nine realms, with every three realms forming a stage.

"There seems to be some indescribable feeling around this Space Element star particle!"

"The space around the star particle seems to be trembling slightly."

Why cultivate space? If I didn't cultivate the Space Element, how could I write about the new skills that appeared with it? Isn't Mind Control cool?
