Bocheng

This is the departure point for most transmigrators, and also the city that will produce four Forbidden Mages and one Super Level Mage in the future.

No one knows how much fortune Bocheng exhausted to achieve this.

Yet besides that, another special visitor descended here, precisely a transmigrator who was a fellow townsman of Mo Fan, the Child of Luck.

A figure with a head of black hair and dark eyes resembling black gems stood up in the examination room. With a calm expression, he brought his test paper directly to the podium and said:

"Hello, handing in the paper early."

Hearing this, the proctor was stunned. He looked at the test paper, which was already filled out with a very high answer accuracy, in startled suspicion and asked doubtfully:

"Student Su Miu, are you sure?"

The proctor looked at the name on the test paper and pressed on whether he was sure about handing it in. To this, he nodded in response:

"Mm, I'm sure."

Just like that, he walked out of the examination room, while the examinees and teachers inside watched his departing figure with startled doubt.

He walked out of the teaching building, looked up at the sun in the sky, took a deep breath, and muttered helplessly in his heart:

"I was just at home reading the Douluo Continent manga and angrily cursing the artist for using AI to perfunctorily deal with readers, so how did I transmigrate to Versatile Mage next door?"

This world was much more dangerous than Douluo Continent. Humanity simply had no hope of defeating Demon Beasts, forming a sharp contrast with the Soul Beast Clan of Douluo Continent.

Logically speaking, he should have transmigrated to Douluo Continent, right? How did he end up over here? It was truly inexplicable...

Su Miu did not know how to complain about this, so he could only walk down the stairs toward the school gates.

At the same time, his mind was a flurry of thoughts. He remembered... it seemed like a huge, unidentified creature appeared in his dream... When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had transmigrated. He carefully recalled that figure:

It had a bizarre appearance, possessing a dragon's head, deer's antlers, horse's hooves, an ox's tail, and a wolf's forehead, and its body was covered in colorful dragon scales, which actually bore some similarity to the Qilin in mythology.

"Speaking of which, won't I have the same treatment as the protagonist? Other people's is Little Loach, and mine is a little dog? Is his the Azure Dragon, and mine a Qilin?"

Su Miu guessed in his heart, but all of this could only wait until school started later.

He pulled back his thoughts and walked out of the school gates all alone. He was originally a native of Fengcheng next door. Twelve years ago, an orange alert broke out in Fengcheng, and his parents, who were Military Mages, lost their lives in that disaster...

Fortunately, this different world still had places that allowed him to make money, such as writing novels and the like. He relied on this to support himself and scrape together his tuition fees.

Of course, this also inevitably involved plagiarizing those immensely popular novels from his past life. Comrade Xiao Huohuo's deeds did not exist here, so he simply brought them over, and he had earned quite a lot over the years.

He returned home, first stretched his body a bit, and then lay flat on his back on the bed, murmuring helplessly:

"Could it be that transmigrators can never escape the fate of both parents dying?"

However, obviously no one would solve this puzzle for him, nor would he get an answer. After resting for a moment, he got up to type, since he still had to support himself after all.

The time of a vacation passed very quickly. Su Miu entered school with Bocheng's most outstanding results without any suspense, and secured the title of Bocheng's top scholar along with a scholarship.

Naturally, he entered Bocheng's best magic high school, Tianlan Magic High School. He looked at the class assignment and immediately raised an eyebrow-why was it Class 8?

Random? He remembered it seemed to be that class of Mo Fan's, right? He immediately walked over, entered the number one seat of Grade 1, Class 8, and sat down.

Then he put on his earphones and looked at his phone as if isolated from the world. The contents inside were knowledge of various Demon Beast illustrated guidebook species.

He did not know how much time passed before the class bell rang quickly. Everyone sat obediently in their respective seats, discussing what element they would awaken shortly.

"Please quiet down, students. I am your head teacher, Xue Musheng, and next I will explain the various essentials of awakening to you."

As the head teacher spoke, he picked up badges to distribute to everyone and explained the essentials of the upcoming awakening.

Su Miu took the badge, pinned it to his chest, and quietly listened to the teacher explain various precautions.

Soon a crystal ball was brought in and placed on the podium. He also understood that this seemed to be the awakening scene from the anime, whereas in the original work it seemed to take place on the playground.

What a pity. Versatile Mage was written very well, but the production level of the anime was truly hard to put into words.

As everyone knew, Versatile Mage was written randomly.

"Then will the students whose names are called please come up to awaken their magic. Number one, Su Miu."

"Present."

Hearing his name, he took off his earphones in response, and immediately stood up and walked toward the podium.

"Su Miu?"

"Seems to be Bocheng's top scholar..."

"I didn't expect him to actually be in our class."

"I'm really curious, what kind of magic can our Bocheng top scholar awaken?"

"Fire Element?"

"Lightning Element, probably..."

"Quiet down, students. Do not disturb Student Su Miu from awakening magic."

A lot of noisy discussion sounded below. Xue Musheng immediately told everyone to quiet down. Hearing the head teacher's reprimand, everyone finally quieted down.

"All right, Student Su Miu, put your hand down."

"Alright..."

He placed his hand down according to the instructions and settled his mind to sense the magic element about to awaken inside his body.

A moment later, two stardusts emerged from his Sea of Consciousness. Su Miu opened his eyes within the Sea of Consciousness, and what greeted his view was one colorless stardust and one attribute-less stardust.

"Colorless... the Summoning System... Then what about this stardust? The Sharing Element? What does that mean?"

Just as he was filled with doubt, a silver-white orb flew out from the attribute-less Sharing Element stardust and landed on him.

In an instant, he understood what this Sharing Element was for. The general meaning was that, for instance, if he contracted a lightning-attribute Summoned Beast, he could use Lightning Element magic through the Sharing Element.

If it were a water and ice dual-attribute Summoned Beast, he could use the magic of the two corresponding elements.

"So that's how it is. It shares the attribute magic of the Summoned Beasts."

Su Miu came to a sudden realization. At the same time, he raised his hand, and that silver-white orb appeared, resembling a legendary dragon ball and carrying spacetime attributes.

Simultaneously, he also learned of his innate talent-the Summoning System Victim. Every time he broke through a level, he would gain one more contract quota.

For example, Beginner Level One granted the ability to contract one Summoned Beast, Beginner Level Two two, and Level Three three. The Intermediate Level was the same. It was worth mentioning that Beginner Level Four, Level Five, and so on—which required soul essences to strengthen stars—also counted.

At the same time, this Spacetime Orb could also collect remnant souls and soul essences, very much like Mo Fan's Little Loach. As for whether it had the effect of accelerating cultivation... he did not know yet; he would explore these things slowly.

Upon confirming that what he had awakened was the Summoning System, he immediately exited the Sea of Consciousness.

Outside, the crowd looked at the colorless light shining on the Awakening Stone and grew puzzled.

"No-colored light? What element is this?"

"I have no idea. The teacher never taught this..."

"Could it be a failed awakening?"

At this moment, a raspy, obnoxious voice arrived, and in an instant, everyone assumed that Su Miu had failed his awakening. After all, none of them had ever seen a colorless light before.

"Hhahahaha! To think someone could actually fail their awakening!"

"I never expected Bocheng's top scholar to fail his awakening!"

The crowd burst into mocking laughter one after another. Even the class teacher Xue Musheng broke out in cold sweat, sweating profusely as he gazed at the colorless light.
