Though he had only seen her figure and half her profile, Bai Mo felt that the girl was probably very pretty.

But he immediately lost the urge to be curious.

Because as the girl successfully awakened, an invisible wave spread outward from her at its center.

Her homeroom teacher and classmates were the first to be affected, all collapsing without a sound.

That was the main reason Bai Mo noticed the wave.

Then Bai Mo's pupils constricted.

The wave had spread to their class!!

Watching the teachers and classmates collapse one after another before they could react, Bai Mo felt the invisible energy sweep across his body.

All sorts of emotions and thoughts flooded into his mind like a burst dam, as though they were about to break through his Mental World.

"Hmm~!"

Bai Mo let out a muffled groan. His body swayed uncontrollably, and his vision went dark in waves, though fortunately, he did not pass out.

After recovering for a moment, he suddenly realized that the playground, which had become filled with screams and noise because of the situation, had gone silent enough to hear a pin drop.

He raised his eyes toward the girl and saw an old man in glasses, dressed in something like a Zhongshan suit from his previous life, appear beside her.

The spreading wave also dissipated.

Bai Mo's probing gaze met a pair of calm eyes, deep and beautiful as the starry sky.

They belonged to the girl. He instinctively looked away.

Then his gaze met another pair of aged eyes. They were equally calm, yet seemed to contain the ultimate truths of the world.

Bai Mo paused slightly, puzzled. Why were they looking at me?!

Oh, he had not fallen over.

After thinking about it, he held his still-dizzy head and lay down on the ground as well.

Pretending that the wave had knocked him unconscious.

He was just an ordinary student, with no exceptional talent.

This time, the two of them were taken aback. Then the old man chuckled. "Interesting."

He did not pay Bai Mo any further attention, instead saying something to the school leaders who had approached.

Then he placed a hand on the girl's shoulder.

At the same time, streaks of silver starlight lit up. In an instant, that brilliant and mysterious silver light outlined a magnificent Star Seat, enveloping them both.

With a flash of silver light, the two vanished.

Only several school leaders remained, discussing something, along with the school doctors tending to the unconscious teachers and students.

"Instantaneous Movement!"

Lying on the ground and secretly watching the situation, Bai Mo cried out inwardly in the same shock as the distant classmates.

When he saw several school doctors walking toward him, Bai Mo got to his feet. He did not want to lie in those earthen rooms temporarily constructed by Earth Element teachers.

It was absolutely not because the triangular houses were too bizarre.

The two school doctors walking toward him paused. One of them, a female school doctor, stepped forward and asked,

"Classmate, do you feel any discomfort?"

"No."

"Let me examine you."

Still, the female doctor did not believe him. Healing light appeared in her hand and swept over his body.

Feeling his abs get groped, Bai Mo looked expressionlessly at the female doctor.

Is that how you conduct an examination?

The female doctor avoided his gaze and withdrew the healing light in her hand.

However, Bai Mo felt warm and indescribably comfortable all over, so he said nothing. He would take it as payment.

After all, because he was handsome, he had been touched plenty of times by older sisters, aunties, and other female relatives since childhood.

The awakening ceremony continued. As a victim affected by that girl's awakening wave, and the only one who remained conscious,

he was summoned to the office by the school leaders.

"Teacher Bai, why did you call me here?"

"What happened earlier must be kept secret."

"Oh." Bai Mo responded, then held out his hand, palm up.

"Where's the hush money?"

"Heh, you little brat, you really don't stand on ceremony!"

Bai Mo's expression did not change. His hand remained outstretched as he said flatly, "Uncle, if I'm a little brat, then what are you? Be careful, or I'll tell Grandpa what you said."

"I..." Bai Changkong was momentarily speechless. He took an Irregular Grey Pebble from a box on the desk and tossed it to Bai Mo. "I can't be bothered to argue with you."

Bai Mo caught the small stone and examined it. It was tiny, not even as large as his thumb. So he asked,

"What is this?"

"A Space Magic Crystal. It helps Space Mages with Meditation Cultivation. Dean Xiao specifically named you as the recipient of this compensation. You understand, right?"

"Don't worry. I'll absolutely keep it secret."

Bai Mo nodded. He also understood the old man's identity. Thinking about it, the girl's identity was practically obvious too. Making such a huge commotion just from awakening, it should have been her.

"If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

"Mm. Go back and cultivate properly. Don't waste your talent."

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

Bai Changkong immediately felt his hands itch. He was helpless against his nephew's temperament. Bai Mo would not listen to reason, and instead would drag him into some twisted logic. In the end, he could only wave impatiently.

"Get out, get out, get out!!"

Bai Mo grinned, tossed the stone in his hand, and headed outside.

There was no one in the classroom, but he had heard that the unconscious teachers and students would wake within half an hour at most. He estimated that people would start returning within an hour.

Since he had nothing better to do during that time, Bai Mo decided to try controlling Star Dust first. Although controlling them could only be done after several days of Meditation Cultivation, trying would not hurt.

After seeing Dean Xiao use Instantaneous Movement, it was impossible not to yearn for it, not to want it.

Closing his eyes, he saw only a trace of silver dust-light decorating his Mental World. Within that mysterious silver, seven Star Dust shining with silver light flickered continuously.

Every time they flickered, they changed position.

A mage's cultivation had three steps—

Meditation Cultivation. Magic required Magic Energy, and the amount of Magic Energy determined both a spell's endurance and the height of one's realm.

Controlling Star Dust. Only after mastering the Star Dust within Stardust could one arrange a Star Orbit and cast the corresponding magic.

Practicing magic. Knowing how to cast magic was not enough; one also had to know how to use it. Just like writing, some people wrote quickly and beautifully, while others wrote slowly and terribly.

It seriously affected the presentation score!

And what Bai Mo was about to do now was control them.

After observing for a while, Bai Mo seized the gap before a Star Dust flickered. His mental intent stretched out and precisely caught it.

Having read the Star Control Guide, he was prepared to focus and deal with the Star Dust's coming struggle. Yet he only felt the Star Dust bound by his mental intent tremble slightly a few times.

Then it gave up struggling, actively formed a connection with him, broke free of the Binding, and happily flickered around within the Stardust.

"???"

Bai Mo felt as if his mind were filled with question marks. It had succeeded just like that? It was not nearly as difficult as the book had described.

Could it be...

So, to avoid misjudging the situation, he caught another Star Dust.

This Star Dust might have been shown off to by the previously tamed one.

The instant it was bound by his mental intent, it immediately formed a connection with him, not even putting up a token struggle.

Things never happened three times. Things never happened three times!!

He silently repeated it twice in his heart.

Bai Mo controlled his intent and captured another Star Dust, yet the result was still the same.

Refusing to believe it, he caught one after another. In the end, he looked at a pen suspended in midair by his Mind Control.

Bai Mo fell silent.

After all, he was from a great family. He might lack all sorts of common knowledge, but he could not lack magical knowledge.

Whether from what was written in books or from personally watching his elder brother cultivate magic,

Bai Mo knew that controlling Star Dust was not an easy process.

He glanced at the clock hanging at the top of the blackboard.

Forty minutes. He had only used forty minutes!

And just like that, he had mastered all seven Star Dust, something that others might need at least half a year to achieve, and had cast magic!

The cruel truth left Bai Mo stunned. I'm fucking a genius?!

He suddenly recalled that Ding Yumian's Mind Wave had not knocked him unconscious. It seemed he was not ordinary after all.

But he also knew that he definitely was not a Calamity User. That only made his talent seem even more terrifying.

With such great talent, he did not need to work himself too hard, right?

In an instant, Bai Mo nodded. He had even skipped controlling Star Dust. He only needed to do Meditation Cultivation now, so there seemed to be nothing to grind over.

He could just cultivate normally, step by step, and wander around for fun while he was at it. Even if he got himself killed while wandering,

his family still had Old Brother Bai Hanxing to hold everything up.

Anyway, he did not want to be the pillar holding everything up. It was far too boring, while this world was so wonderful.

He thought of his older brother's life.

Aside from sleeping, every moment of the day was spent cultivating. After meditating, he would cast magic and fight. He had no time for anything else. It was terrifying.

He did not even have time to date, just like that dog of an author. Nearly twenty-four years old, and still a virgin!

In contrast, Bai Mo thought the Cultivation Guidance put it quite well—five hours of cultivation per day was appropriate for a mage, and in any case, one could meditate for no longer than that.

The main reason was that a newly awakened mage's Mental Power could only endure that long. Any more would lead to mental fatigue, making it impossible to enter a meditative state.

Unless one possessed magical cultivation tools like a Stardust Magic Tool, which could extend the amount of time a mage could meditate.
