Chapter 2: Radiance: Purify Enhanced!
Song Jie was also thinking—once he became an Intermediate Mage, he would awaken another attack-type magic system!
He said with relief, "Alright, time to cultivate properly!"
As for magic cultivation, it was divided into three steps: Meditation, Control, and Release.
Meditation meant focusing the mind to cultivate. After meditation ended, Magic Star Seeds would appear in the spiritual world, and these seeds needed to be controlled by the mage.
After that came magic release. A Basic-level spell required controlling seven star seeds before it could be cast.
So, Song Jie's initial stage was meditation—cultivating seven star seeds in his empty spiritual world.
He closed his eyes, concentrated his attention, and began his meditation.
He didn't know how long had passed, but he felt like he had been immersed in meditation for a long time.
Suddenly, he heard the dormitory door open, so he opened his eyes.
At that moment, Mo Fan and Zhang Xiao Hou were returning from outside. The two of them were also looking at him.
"Song Jie, are you cultivating?" Zhang Xiao Hou asked curiously.
Song Jie nodded.
Mo Fan sat down without saying much, instead squinting at him.
"What does cultivation feel like?"
Zhang Xiao Hou had just gone to eat with Mo Fan, so he hadn't started trying to cultivate yet.
"It's alright, but meditation drains a lot of mental energy," Song Jie replied.
"I see. Then I'd better give it a try too, and aim to release a spell as soon as possible!"
Zhang Xiao Hou was eager to start. He took off his shoes and climbed straight onto his bed.
"Brother Fan, what are you staring at Song Jie for? Come cultivate too!" Zhang Xiao Hou said.
Mo Fan nodded, climbed onto his bed, and began fumbling around to figure out how to meditate.
Song Jie didn't pay it any mind. He closed his eyes again and continued cultivating, sensing the changes in his Stardust.
Time flew by.
Several months passed in the blink of an eye.
A look of surprise appeared on Song Jie's face, because he had actually completed a Star Track formation during this time!
After meditation came controlling the star seeds. A Basic-level spell required controlling seven star seeds and linking them into a line, like a track.
And right now, in Song Jie's spiritual world, there was a dazzling Star Track!
"Next up is releasing the spell!" Song Jie said, a little excited.
He steadied himself, closed his eyes, and once again linked the seven star seeds into a Star Track!
In an instant, star seed after star seed connected into a line, and a Star Track suddenly appeared!
"Radiance: Purify!"
In that moment, a blinding flash of golden light blazed before Song Jie's eyes!
At the same time, he exclaimed in his heart, "It worked!"
How long had it been?
He had already completed the third stage of magic release.
This was definitely enough to leave others in the dust.
Song Jie thought to himself, then looked down at the Bronze Old Bracelet on his wrist.
He was an orphan. His father and mother had passed away when he was young, and this bracelet was a gift from his mother on his birthday.
"Could it be the effect of this bracelet?" Song Jie wondered, but he didn't dwell on it.
Because he had been cultivating for so long, his stomach let out an uncooperative growl.
"First, fill my stomach." With that, Song Jie stood up and walked out of the house.
After leaving home, as he passed by a small park, he suddenly spotted a few familiar figures.
At the same time, there was a long-haired girl sitting on a swing in front of them.
The girl's fair, full face was exquisitely delicate, with long eyelashes, clear beautiful eyes, and moist red lips...
"Ye Xin Xia?"
For a moment, Song Jie suddenly remembered who this person was.
"Song Jie?"
Just then, the thugs surrounding Ye Xin Xia also noticed him.
"Got any money on you? Hand it over quick, or don't blame us if you get beaten up," the Gang Leader said bluntly.
Song Jie frowned. He never expected that the classic scene of the hero saving the damsel in distress would actually land on his doorstep.
The only problem was, he was just a Light Mage—a useless one in the early stages!!
Was he supposed to cast Radiance and blind the enemy's eyes?!
Song Jie felt helpless. Sure, he could do that, but Radiance had almost no killing power.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, host, on completing a spell cast and successfully activating the Outrageous System!]
[Note: The Outrageous System undergoes an Outrageous Metamorphosis once every month.]
Song Jie listened carefully, but he had no idea what it was talking about?!
Outrageous Metamorphosis?!
What the hell was that?!
Just then, the system's prompt sounded again!
[Since this is the host's first system activation, the system grants the host two chances at Outrageous Metamorphosis!]
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, host! "Radiance: Purify" has undergone Outrageous Metamorphosis and evolved into the higher-tier "Radiance Burst"!!]
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, host! "Radiance Burst" has undergone Outrageous Metamorphosis and evolved into the higher-tier "Radiance: Great Explosion"!!]
Listening to the prompts, Song Jie stood frozen. What was going on?!
In an instant, he felt two new Light magic skills settle into his mind. They were still Novice Level One skills, but they seemed... enhanced.
The Gang Leader saw Song Jie still standing there dumbfounded, walked over, and grabbed him by the collar. "Don't just stand there like an idiot. Hand over the money, now!"
Right then, golden light flared around Song Jie. His hawk-like eyes locked onto the thug.
"You're... a mage, sir!" The Gang Leader scrambled backward, staring in panic at the golden glow enveloping Song Jie.
"Golden light—he must be a Light Mage!!" someone shouted.
"A Light Mage? Aren't they pretty useless early on? We don't have to—"
Before the man could finish, Song Jie had already linked seven star particles into a Star Track!
Golden light gathered in his palm. He aimed at a nearby boulder and unleashed "Radiance Burst."
In an instant, a ball of golden radiance blasted from his palm, hurtling straight toward the boulder.
The next moment!
Boom! The boulder exploded, dust billowing and fragments flying everywhere.
The thugs stared, jaws dropped, utterly incredulous.
Wasn't Light Magic supposed to be a weakling's element in the early stages?! How could it have this kind of power?!
Song Jie was stunned too. He hadn't expected the skill to be this strong!!
It had completely shattered that boulder to pieces—this was just too outrageous!
And at that moment, he finally understood why the system was called the Outrageous System!
Ye Xin Xia's heart trembled. Was this still Light Magic?
The thug who had been about to call Light Magic trash swallowed hard. Good thing he hadn't said it out loud.
Song Jie strode forward and kicked the Gang Leader square in the chest.
"Still want the money?"
The man tumbled several times from the kick before scrambling to his feet. "No more, no more..."
Song Jie had been bullied by them before. That one kick finally let him vent the anger in his heart.
"Don't go blabbing about what happened today, or else..."
Song Jie shot them a look. The thugs all nodded frantically.
"Get lost."
None of them wanted to stay a second longer. They turned and stumbled away in a panic.
Song Jie turned around and looked at Ye Xin Xia, who was still sitting on the swing...
