Tianlan Magic High School

Today is the opening ceremony of Tianlan Magic High School.

This is not merely an entrance ceremony, but a ritual for stepping onto the path of a mage.

Because all new students must awaken their own magic element today and become Beginner level mages!

The awakening ceremony proceeds as usual, with exclamations and wails erupting from time to time.

Some people successfully awaken the powerful Lightning and Fire elements, while others howl about wanting to jump off the roof because they awakened the Water and Light elements.

In the middle of the line for Class 8, First Year, a figure watches this scene quietly; while his appearance seems calm, his eyes seem to hide a raging, burning fire.

Jiang Yuan feels his heartbeat accelerating, and the corners of his mouth curl into an uncontrollable arc.

Ever since he transmigrated into the world of Full-time Mage six years ago, he has been looking forward to this day every single day, studying every bit of magical knowledge he could get his hands on for this very purpose!

His level of knowledge reserves is such that he could score however many points he wanted on exams, and he has indeed done exactly that, consistently keeping his scores at a mid-tier level.

Jiang Yuan's rank in Class 8 is 25th.

This also means he is the 25th person to awaken.

And because of his arrival, Mo Fan has been pushed to 49th.

Time passes exceptionally slowly during the wait.

Finally, Jiang Yuan reaches the front of the line.

"Next, Jiang Yuan!" Instructor Xue Musheng calls out.

As soon as the words fall, Jiang Yuan walks out from the line.

Xue Musheng glances at Jiang Yuan without paying much attention; in his eyes, he only notices students with backgrounds or those who awaken powerful elements.

After a few brief instructions, Jiang Yuan places his hand on the Awakening Stone.

He sinks his consciousness into his spiritual world.

The Awakening Stone emits a charming starlight, and at the same time, his previously void-like spiritual world instantly gains a glimmer of light—a blue hue like surging waves.

A blue star dust appears in his spiritual world, with seven Star Particles wandering within it.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan is stunned.

He did not expect to awaken the Water element; this element only has defensive skills in the early stages, and many students rank the Water and Light elements as the ones they least want to awaken.

However, to him, it makes no difference which element it is.

How does that saying go?

There are no useless elements, only useless mages.

"Water element," Xue Musheng says the awakening result indifferently.

Jiang Yuan's consciousness leaves his spiritual world, and he removes his right hand from the Awakening Stone, which is wreathed in water mist.

Just as he is about to return to the line, his body suddenly trembles, and he stands motionless in front of the Awakening Stone with his eyes closed.

"Hm?" Xue Musheng looks at him in confusion.

Could this student be so distraught over awakening the Water element that he's lost his mind?

Although he is somewhat of a sycophant, he is not a bad teacher to his students, so he immediately consoles him: "Student Jiang Yuan, the Water element is already quite good; it is the only element in the Beginner level that possesses defensive skills. It's much better than the Light element, which can only produce light at the Beginner level, isn't it?"

As soon as these words are spoken, the students who awakened the Light element start clamoring even louder about wanting to jump off the roof.

"I can't go on! I can't go on! There are no human rights for the Light element!"

"I want to jump off the roof, nobody stop me!"

"Count me in!"

Only after finishing his sentence does Xue Musheng realize something is wrong, and he hurriedly tries to make amends: "Actually, the Light element is also very powerful. Later, I'll tell you all how strong the Light element becomes after reaching the High level. Before that, you absolutely must not jump off the roof!"

Hearing this, the commotion subsides slightly.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan opens his eyes, and a flash of gray light passes through the depths of his pupils.

Seeing this, Xue Musheng hurriedly tells him to step down and calls the next person up to awaken their magic.

Returning to the line, Jiang Yuan can barely maintain the calm expression on his face.

Right there in his spiritual world, there are actually two patches of star dust.

One is the blue star dust representing the Water element.

The other is a gray star dust!

Others might not know, but Jiang Yuan, who spends his days soaking in the library, is certain that this star dust represents the Undead element, one of the Black Magic elements!

If it weren't for the many people around him, Jiang Yuan would truly be unable to stop himself from laughing out loud.

He actually awakened two elements.

Could it be the same Innate Dual Elements as Mo Fan?

He doesn't know, but he will certainly find out during his next awakening!

Jiang Yuan pulls his mood back from the extreme joy and gradually regains his composure.

His gaze swept over Mo Fan at the end of the line; the future Magic God wore a look of trepidation on his face.

The power of Innate Dual Elements goes without saying.

Yet, without the Azure Dragon Pendant on Mo Fan's chest, there would be insufficient resources to cultivate so many magic elements, unless one belonged to a massive conglomerate like the Zhao Family.

For Mo Fan to become a Magic God, the Azure Dragon Pendant played the most critical role.

In the end, he was not the protagonist.

Jiang Yuan sighed to himself. If only he had a Vermilion Bird Pendant, a Black Tortoise Pendant, or something similar; given his familiarity with the plot, there would be so much he could accomplish.

On the other side, Jiang Yuan stopped paying attention to the magic awakening and suddenly picked up his pace, quickly reaching the last person in line.

Mo Fan, ranked 49th.

Under the guidance of Xue Musheng, Mo Fan placed his hand on the Awakening Stone. Starlight points flew out, spreading along his arm like veins.

Just as the magical radiance was about to emerge, someone let out an exclamation.

"My god, someone in the next class awakened the Lightning element!"

The Lightning element, hailed as the head of the elemental elements, possesses the most formidable destructive power among all elemental types.

This cry drew the attention of everyone except Jiang Yuan.

It was at this very moment that the Awakening Stone in Mo Fan's hand flashed with several bolts of purple lightning!

Mo Fan slowly opened his eyes, the joy on his face impossible to conceal.

He had expected to be met with the gasps of his classmates and to slap the faces of Mu Bai and Zhao Kun San, but he found that almost everyone's attention had been drawn away by the next class.

No, there was still one person looking at him.

Mo Fan locked eyes with Jiang Yuan instantly.

Jiang Yuan smiled at him, waiting silently for the next scene to unfold.

Mo Fan's hand had not yet left the Awakening Stone. He was just about to shout and have the people around him bow down and worship his Lightning element when he suddenly felt a surge of heat from his palm.

He saw that the Awakening Stone, which had been flashing with purple lightning, was now emitting a fiery red glow.

The Fire element had arrived!

Mo Fan's eyes widened immediately, lost in the joy of awakening dual elements.

As the commotion from the next class regarding the Lightning element slowly subsided, Xue Musheng and the other students noticed the Fire element Mo Fan had awakened and were filled with surprise.

Xue Musheng was even more delighted, offering him words of encouragement.

Mo Fan was suddenly riding high, walking with an incredibly arrogant swagger.

Once his pride subsided, he realized that someone had witnessed the entire process of his dual awakening.

And so, after the afternoon classes ended.

Mo Fan quietly sought out Jiang Yuan.

"So, you want me to keep the secret that you awakened two magic elements?" Jiang Yuan looked at the Mo Fan before him and smiled.

He knew that Mo Fan did not want to be exposed yet. Mo Fan was worried that the Mu Clan would take him out, so he wanted to wait until he was strong enough to act with impunity.

Therefore, Jiang Yuan could hold onto this secret for a very long time.
