The Strange Jade

This beautiful misunderstanding would not be exposed, at least not for now, and he had already gone to take the release test.

His practiced control and release earned him an "A+" score!

Of course, he could actually have scored an S as well. After all, he had truly become proficient at releasing magic.

He had completely mastered all the second-level Basic Magic spells.

But this score was already enough to captivate a whole crowd of fangirls. There was no need to push himself any further.

After the assessment ended, everyone went their separate ways. A few days later... Tang Miao was assigned to the Advanced Class without any surprises.

There were around seventy or eighty students in the class. They attended lessons in a large classroom and practiced in a spacious training ground.

Those who made it into the Advanced Class had basically mastered seven Star Seeds. They simply were not all particularly skilled at releasing them yet.

Thus, whenever practical lessons began, the top students of each element would show off their abilities!

Li Li, who had initially hated Tang Miao for making vulgar jokes from time to time, had now completely changed her attitude. If Tang Miao was interested, it might even be possible for the two of them to chat about the bond between teacher and student.

Because of Tang Miao, she had also successfully become a teacher in the Advanced Class.

This was quite a leap forward. For those short legs to cross such a distance was practically a miracle.

After briefly introducing herself to the new students, Li Li took out the Stardust Magic Tool. She then looked at everyone and said, "The results of this assessment: first place, Tang Miao. Second place, Dongfang Hui... The higher your ranking, the longer you'll be allowed to use it."

After explaining everything, Li Li placed the Mortal-level Stardust Magic Tool in front of Tang Miao.

It was not until the end of class that day, when Tang Miao was preparing to leave, that Dongfang Hui came over. Before she even arrived, a faint fragrance wafted toward him.

Tang Miao turned his head while breathing in the fragrance and saw two beautiful women approaching. One was Dongfang Hui, while the other was her little fangirl?

Looking at Tang Miao, she said somewhat indignantly, "This is the first time I, Dongfang Hui, have ever been crushed by someone my age. But this will also be the only time!"

Hearing this, Tang Miao waved his hand without much interest. "Oh. Then do your best!"

He had initially thought she admired his strength and wanted to find a small restaurant where they could discuss life and ideals. He had not expected her to be dissatisfied instead... What was there to talk about?

Tang Miao turned and left. Dongfang Hui and the little fangirl beside her were both somewhat unable to react.

After all, someone like her was a goddess among the new students! There were not many people she would take the initiative to speak to, yet Tang Miao was actually uninterested!?

Dongfang Hui comforted herself inwardly: Hmph, he must be deliberately playing hard to get, trying to attract this young lady's attention!

He had not thought much of it. Before he had sufficient strength, unless a woman was throwing herself at him, he had no interest in provoking a young lady from a prestigious family. That would simply be asking to be humiliated.

After leaving the school, Tang Miao headed back to the house Tang Yue had rented for him in the Magic Capital.

After returning home and taking a luxurious bath, Tang Miao lay on the bed. Looking at the Stardust Magic Tool in one hand and the Jade Pendant in the other, he thought, Could the jade inside my body really have no intention of swallowing it?

The reason he had come to this world was because of that stone... No, it should have been this jade! Ever since he arrived here, it seemed to have disappeared. Only when Magic Awakening occurred did it suddenly emerge from his body again.

It had given Tang Miao quite a scare at the time... Although he had no idea what this thing really was, judging from the Dark Serpent's timid appearance and how it always eagerly followed him around, it was obvious that the jade's origins were definitely extraordinary!

Moreover, it seemed that because of this jade, Tang Miao's cultivation speed had become so astonishingly fast.

After thinking for a while, Tang Miao took out his phone and called Tang Yue.

"Beep..."

"Beep..."

After a series of rings, Tang Yue answered. "Why are you still awake at this hour?" Her sexy, gentle voice drifted over, though it seemed to carry a trace of sleepiness.

"I missed you. You haven't come to see me in a long time."

Tang Yue seemed to have been woken from a pleasant dream, and there was a trace of displeasure in her voice. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'm hanging up!"

"All right. There's something on me. It seems to be a Stardust Magic Tool, but I don't really understand it, so I called to ask you." Knowing that Tang Yue had been sleeping to preserve her beauty, Tang Miao could only give up teasing her.

"Oh?"

Tang Yue paused, then said, "When did you get a Stardust Magic Tool? Why didn't I know about it?"

Tang Miao's lips twitched slightly, though he could not blame Tang Yue. No matter where he threw this jade, it would appear inside his magical galaxy... Unless he summoned it with his mind, it would not show itself at all.

"This Stardust Magic Tool seems to exist alongside me. It has always been in my mind. As long as I summon it, it appears. Of course, this only started after Magic Awakening. I forgot to tell you last time... When will you have time? I can go to you, or you can come to me?"

Tang Miao had always been completely open with his future wife.

After hearing what Tang Miao said, Tang Yue instantly lost all traces of sleepiness. She said, "I'll come see you tomorrow. Get some rest first. Don't tell anyone about this."

In the end, Tang Yue reminded Tang Miao again. Regardless of whether it was a good thing or not, one absolutely had to keep one's wealth hidden.

"All right, I understand. Don't worry. Good night~"

"Good night."

"..."

The next day.

Since he had to welcome Tang Yue, Tang Miao directly asked for leave.

Come to think of it, there was not much for him to learn at school anyway. The theory lessons were aimed at dealing with Demon Beasts and using magic properly, but... for a man like him, born with multiple elements, was simply becoming stronger not enough?

The best way to pass the time was naturally cultivation.

For ordinary people, meditation could only be done for one hour a day. He was different. With the Stardust Magic Tool added in, he could cultivate for nearly four hours!

After Tang Miao finished cultivating, Tang Yue hurried over as well. Seeing how travel-worn she looked, Tang Miao smiled and said, "Why rush? I didn't go anywhere today. I've been waiting for you the whole time."

Tang Yue took off her outer coat and sat on the sofa. Tang Miao fetched a wineglass and brought out her favorite red wine. He poured her a glass and asked, "How is your mission going?"

Tang Yue said somewhat dejectedly, "There's been no progress..."

Tang Miao smiled and sat beside her, wanting to investigate the changes a little. "It's fine. At least we haven't seen each other for a while, and you've become even prettier."

Although Dongfang Hui was also very charming, she was clearly lacking compared to Tang Yue in terms of allure. Tang Yue was obviously still a young woman, yet she already possessed the grace of a mature woman~

When Tang Miao reached out, Tang Yue decisively slapped his hand away and glared at him. "Take out your jade. Let me have a look."

She really could not understand it. Were those two lumps really so attractive? Was he never tired of them? Besides, did they not have something important to deal with today?

Tang Miao sat beside Tang Yue with a cheeky grin. The reason he had not revealed his true nature at the academy was simply because there had been no one worth flirting with... It had finally happened once, yet she was the daughter of a prestigious family. Why waste his time trying to fool a woman who was not easy to deceive?

Tang Miao concentrated his mind. Then a piece of jade appeared in his hand.

"This is the jade I told you about. It seems to accelerate my cultivation, but I'm not sure whether it's actually a Stardust Magic Tool..."

Tang Miao was merely curious about whether the jade in his hand could absorb Spirit Essences and Remnant Souls like the jade in the protagonist's hand...

After examining it for a while, Tang Yue nodded. "It is indeed a Stardust Magic Tool. There also seems to be a powerful magical pressure on it... I have a student who also has a strange Stardust Magic Tool..."

Tang Yue had already seen Mo Fan's Stardust Magic Tool. She then explained the whole story to him.

"You think highly of this student?"

Tang Miao naturally knew the whole story, but his focus was somewhere else entirely!

Seeing Tang Miao's displeased expression, Tang Yue giggled. "What, are you jealous?"

"Yes!" Tang Miao did not deny it and nodded directly.

Tang Yue snorted and retorted, "I only thought this student had decent potential, so I paid some attention to him, and you're already jealous. What about you, making vulgar jokes with girls all day long?"

"Uh..."

Tang Miao's lips twitched slightly before he said, "I'm only learning how to socialize."

"Bah, you scumbag! I really wonder who taught you all that."

Tang Miao waved his hand. "All right, all right, let's not talk about that." He was not exactly a man who guarded his chastity, and Tang Yue would never betray him anyway, so there was no need to fuss over every little thing.

As for Tang Yue's relationship with Mo Fan, with him around, they could only be ordinary friends. He still had that much confidence!

After listening for a long while, Tang Miao asked, "So you're saying my Stardust Magic Tool can also grow?"

Tang Yue nodded and added, "Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, its growth should be related to the totems we guard!"

Tang Yue now understood why the Dark Serpent listened to Tang Miao so obediently. It should have been because of this jade. However, even the guardians knew very little about the totems.

Tang Miao gained a general understanding of the matter, but Tang Yue did not know whether this thing could absorb Spirit Essences, Remnant Souls, or anything similar. However, she did point him toward a clear path. Once his strength was sufficient, he could kill a Demon Beast and try it for himself!

Tang Miao was stunned as well. The answer to this question really did seem to be that simple.

However, it was definitely impossible for now. A Demon Beast's territory was no place to fool around...
