The next stretch of time was spent cultivating magic. In two and a half months, Lin Lan had already mastered the first level of Space Magic.
Today was a good day...
The original Mo Fan had only learned the first level of Lightning Seal by the end of this semester. It seemed he truly possessed extraordinary talent and the bearing of a great emperor.
Magister ranks were divided into: Beginner Level, Intermediate Level, Advanced Level, Super Level, and Forbidden Curse.
Demon beasts were divided into: servant, warrior, commander, monarch, and emperor.
One adult demon beast could deal with a squad of Beginner Level magisters. They only became harder to handle afterward; humans were not heaven's favored children in this world.
"Mind Control—Phantom Claw."
The cola immediately floated into the air and slowly drifted into Lin Lan's hand under his control.
"Glug, glug, glug~"
"Burp~"
Lin Lan drained the cola in one gulp, utterly content. Having magic felt wonderful. It was just that he had failed to control the power properly a few times earlier, crushing several bottles of cola with telekinesis and spilling liquid all over the floor.
"Hm? The Space Element stardust seems a little different." Lin Lan immediately entered his spiritual world. The silver-white Space Element stardust trembled and began to change: the stardust vortex expanded, and the star particles mutated...
After a long while, the changes stopped. The Space Element vortex was now twice the size of the Lightning Element's, greatly enhancing his magical energy. It was comparable to a Beginner Level third-tier magister!
At the same time, the Space Element had actually gained two new skills: Phasing and Storage.
As its name implied, Phasing placed his body into a state similar to intangibility. His true body entered a newly opened space, yet he could still cast magic.
Other than powerful Chaos Element magisters, who could locate his true body, or the Void Dark Space of the Shadow Element within Black Magic, no other magic could effectively attack him. The Phasing effect could last five seconds, increasing with his strength.
Void Dark Space was also a type of Space Magic. If cultivated to a sufficiently high level, it could also detect Lin Lan within the larger space he occupied.
Lin Lan tested it with a knife. Physical attacks were indeed ineffective while Phasing was active.
Storage meant opening up a small space where items could be placed.
"This skill is insanely overpowered to develop. I thought the Lightning Element was already extraordinary, but the Space Element is this badass too!
"Enhanced magical energy, mutated star particles—the Space Element truly is mysterious and powerful. Spatial Storage is convenient and practical too, perfect for my build." Excitement rippled through Lin Lan's eyes as his lips curled upward. He could not help but speak in an agitated tone.
"And that bright white Lightning Element—perhaps this is my innate spirit seed. But I'll have to cast Lightning Magic to know for sure. In that case, I'll cultivate the Lightning Element!" Lin Lan had thoroughly read Full-Time Magister and knew that some magisters possessed Innate Soul Seeds and innate spirit seeds. There was Mu Ningxue and Qin Yu'er. Unfortunately, only Mu Ningxue had a good ending. At the thought of Qin Yu'er, a trace of anger flashed through Lin Lan's eyes.
Another two months passed like this. His life revolved around cultivation every day, and the semester was coming to an end.
Lin Lan's cultivation progressed at an astonishing pace, and he directly cultivated his Lightning Element to the first level as well.
Just as expected, the Lightning Element indeed possessed a spirit seed. Lin Lan named it: Sky Flash.
Sky Flash was an innate dazzling lightning seed that increased a magister's power by 2.5 times, greatly boosting damage and penetrating power. Once he cultivated to the third level, with Mind Control added in, he could instantly kill a servant-class demon beast.
"The road of life is long! Mo Fan seemed to have asked me to go see the Lightning Magic he just learned today. I almost forgot!"
Remembering this, Lin Lan immediately prepared to head to Mo Fan's house. That guy had probably learned Lightning Magic and wanted to show it off. Still, Mo Fan cultivated quite quickly indeed. Mu Ningxue had taken seven months to learn Beginner Level Magic.
Then he thought about himself... It was fine. He was only using a few cheats. As long as he kept a low profile, he would not get banned.
"Crackle, crackle, crackle~"
As Lin Lan passed by a park, he noticed that someone seemed to have used Lightning Magic there.
"I almost forgot again. It seems Mo Fan stood up for his sister and used magic."
"He even drove off a few punks who were harassing her." Lin Lan walked in and saw a young thug lying by the pavilion, dressed in a leather jacket, tight pants, sunglasses, and sporting a pompadour.
Lin Lan stepped forward and saw that the thug's hair was standing on end, his sunglasses shattered, and his entire body charred black from the electricity.
The two lackeys beside him were so frightened that they knelt and begged for mercy, their bodies shaking uncontrollably.
"Brother Mo Fan, Grandpa Mo Fan, we were wrong! We shouldn't have come to harass your sister again."
"Grandpa Magister, please spare us! We know we were wrong!" The two cried and wailed, tears and snot streaming down their faces.
"You know what to tell the police without me saying it, right?" Mo Fan had used magic and did not want to bring trouble upon himself.
"Yes, yes, yes! Our boss was stealing electricity and got electrocuted! Brother Mo Fan, we'll leave right away." The two punks immediately picked up their "boss" from the ground and ran off in a flash.
"Mo Fan, your Lightning Element's power is pretty impressive!"
"Brother Lan, long time no see." The speaker was a girl seated in a wheelchair. Her voice was soft and sweet, her appearance lovely, her eyes lively, and her legs slender and fair.
"Xin Xia, it really has been a long time." Lin Lan answered calmly, though he also seemed to be pondering something.
Mo Fan turned around and saw his sister greeting Lin Lan. But Xin Xia was Mo Fan's child bride; their feelings had been nurtured since childhood, and Mo Fan did not think much of it. The few of them had always been close when they were young.
"It's nothing special! Lanzi, how's your Lightning Element?" Mo Fan looked perfectly composed, though it was hard to tell whether he was putting on an act.
"Me? So-so. I just learned it too." As Lin Lan spoke, he controlled seven star particles in his hand, though he did not cast the spell.
"Damn! I thought I was already unmatched under heaven, but you're the same as me." Mo Fan was utterly shocked, his face stunned. He had Little Mudfish, and his cultivation speed was far faster than ordinary people's. He had thought he was the only one in class capable of casting magic.
"Let's go, Xin Xia. We're heading home. Lanzi, want to come to my place? I was going to show you my magic, but I ended up showing it off early." Mo Fan pushed Xin Xia away with a smile.
"Brother Mo Fan~" Xin Xia blushed slightly, stealing a glance at Lin Lan from the corner of her eye.
"I won't go. Why would I go eat dog food?"
"Sure, hahaha. Come by when you have time." Mo Fan laughed heartily. He was in an excellent mood today—his magic had succeeded, he had made his brother eat dog food, and he had driven off several punks.
Watching Mo Fan and Ye Xin Xia slowly depart, Lin Lan could not help but sigh. "Mo Fan really is a dog!"
"Ye Xin Xia—the bearer of the Parthenon Soul, daughter of the Dark King Wen Tai. Her mother is Salang, the Cardinal of the Black Vatican."
"Honestly, little Bocheng is absolutely a rookie village that produces big shots."
"Evil God Mo Fan."
"General Zhang Xiaohou."
"Fallen Angel Mu Bai."
"The strongest Ice Element magister, Mu Ningxue."
"Ancient King Zhan Kong."
Pick any one of them, and they would be a top-tier existence wherever they went. But Lin Lan believed that as long as he relied on his talents, avoided getting himself killed, and developed steadily, his achievements would absolutely surpass theirs.
"The next plot point seems to be the annual assessment. I need to pay close attention here."
"Great Deacon Huzhen Mu He will be coming to watch."
