Chapter 2, 8 systems
Mo Fan returned to his seat with a strange expression. Many students thought he had lost his mind. After all, someone who got in through connections had awakened the fire element. Mo Fan himself couldn't help but smile.
After enduring the class, Mo Fan ran to a secluded spot on the back mountain and burst into wild laughter. He hadn't just awakened lightning and fire elements; his mental world was now like a colorful flower roll.
Apart from the Parthenon's blessing system, all other magic systems reside in his spiritual world. Strictly speaking, the Parthenon's blessing system is not a standard magic system; without Parthenon's special methods, outsiders simply cannot awaken it.
At this moment, Mo Fan's mental world was very lively, with eighteen elements in total: lightning, fire, water, ice, light, earth, wind, sound, summoning, space, chaos, mind, plant, healing, poison, curse, shadow, and undead.
Since his spiritual world encompassed eighteen elements, his spiritual power far surpassed that of an ordinary novice mage, and he should have reached the first realm.
What does eighteen elements mean? Add the horse talisman, and no magician can restrain him. As long as he doesn't provoke enemies recklessly, isn't he just taking off?
In the second lesson, Xue Musheng talked about meditation, which in layman's terms means increasing mana. The more mana you have, the more magic you can cast. As for controlling and casting, Xue Musheng didn't explain that; you have to learn to crawl before you can walk.
There's not much to say about control and release. Control means manipulating the seven mischievous stars within the stardust, and connecting the seven stars into a star track completes the release of magic.
All students' current task is meditation. Ordinary beginner mages have limited meditation time, but Mo Fan, who has eighteen elements, can meditate 24 hours a day without interruption. If it weren't for the mental fatigue that comes with long-term cultivation, Mo Fan would be a perpetual motion machine.
Mo Fan possesses eighteen elements. Even with continuous meditation all day long, it's impossible to manage all eighteen elements. He can only focus on cultivating a few of them. The fire element is the one recorded by the school, so he doesn't need to cultivate it too quickly.
He just needs to maintain the level of being able to cast a first-level basic spell by the end of the second semester of his first year of high school. He is currently very weak and cannot perform too brilliantly. A level slightly above normal is sufficient.
To the outside world, Mo Fan still retains his innate dual-elemental talent, revealing the lightning element when necessary. The fire and lightning elements are the two elements he awakened at the initial stage.
The attack power of lightning magic makes it highly valuable to cultivate. Apart from fire and lightning, Mo Fan plans to make necromancy his main focus, and choose a few other elements as supplementary.
The Necromancer and Summoner classes are very similar. One raises demonic minions, while the other raises undead minions. Raising demonic minions is extremely costly, a veritable money-devouring beast. In contrast, the Necromancer class is much more cost-effective. There's no need to worry about minions dying, as undead are inanimate objects; if a minion is destroyed, it can simply be reassembled.
Aside from not being widely welcomed by the mainstream Magic Association, it has no major drawbacks.
Time passed slowly, and the first semester of the first year of high school came to an end. This semester, the content from meditation and control to the release of magic has been taught. The students' mastery of magic depends on their own practice.
The teacher can only resolve some confusions in cultivation and provide some solutions. The fastest cultivator in Class 8 is Mu Bai, who can already control four stars. The students in other classes are at about the same level.
Mo Fan's fire element did not stagnate as before, but he was able to control three stars, which is considered to be above average overall.
With his eighteen elements, Mo Fan's mental power was much stronger than before. He only took two months to reach the level of controlling three stars with the fire element. In the remaining time, Mo Fan focused his energy on the lightning element and the undead bond, and had to put the other elements aside.
Mo Fan never expected that having multiple systems would become a problem. Several systems were quite practical, but Mo Fan had limited energy and could only deal with them one by one. It was so frustrating!
At the end of the semester, Mo Fan's performance in maintaining a three-star rating was praised by Xue Musheng, who encouraged him to keep up the good work.
In fact, Mo Fan's lightning magic is already capable of casting level 1 basic spells at a fairly fast speed. He has also mastered casting necromancy magic, though it is slightly slower than lightning magic.
In terms of cultivation level, the undead are closest to the second level of the initial stage, followed by the lightning element, while the fire element has only increased slightly since its awakening. Although Mo Fan's mental strength far surpasses that of his peers, without the support of the Stardust Magic Artifact, his cultivation speed is still not fast enough.
The little mudskipper needs a slave-level essence to evolve into a Stardust Magic Weapon. The only ways to obtain an essence are to buy it or hunt demons. Currently, Mo Fan is penniless, so buying it is out of the question.
His strength is too low to hunt demons. The undead summoned by lightning and necromancy can kill ordinary slave-level demons with a combination of their abilities, but Mo Fan's cultivation level is not high at present, and his magical energy is very limited.
Mo Fan did not lack a life-saving magical artifact. When he transmigrated, the Glazed Phoenix Feather of the ancient capital mysteriously disappeared. When it reappeared, it was already in Mo Fan's mental world, equivalent to a magical armor.
The original Glazed Phoenix Feather was tattered and broken. After Mo Fan repaired it with the Horse Talisman for a semester, it can now be used as a magical armor. Using the Horse Talisman requires magical energy, and using the Glazed Phoenix Feather also requires magical energy.
This means that neither of them can be used for a long time. They are enough to save lives in critical moments. Moreover, although the other fifteen elements, excluding fire, lightning, and necromancy, have not been cultivated, their initial magic energy at the first level can serve as energy for the horse talisman or the Glazed Phoenix Feather.
This allows Mo Fan to avoid expending the magical energy of several elements used in combat. The combined magical energy of the fifteen elements is less than enough to last for a few minutes if used for the defense of the Glazed Phoenix Feather.
This means that Mo Fan's battle time is limited each time he goes out, and he won't kill many demons. As anyone who frequently kills demons knows, the drop rate of demon essences is extremely low.
The best way to obtain the essence is through Tang Yue, the practical class teacher who came in the second semester of the first year of high school. Show off your talent and get in touch with Tang Yue by asking Little Mudfish. At that time, Tang Yue will definitely invite you to join the Trial Council.
As for Tang Yue's task of restraining Salang, that's pure nonsense. A mid-level mage restraining a super-level Salang? Don't be ridiculous. Tang Yue is more like a smokescreen thrown out by the Inquisition.
Although the Inquisition has been infiltrated by the Black Vatican, there's no harm in joining. The Inquisition has the power to enforce the law, and the right to interpret whether you have violated magical rules rests with them, which is very important.
The constraints imposed by organizations like the Tribunal are not actually that great. With Mo Fan's strength, completing the Tribunal's tasks would be too easy. Power itself does not bind those who wield it; what binds you is your inner morality.
If you're strong enough, you're free to do whatever you want. If you're not strong enough, even a stray dog on the street can bite you, let alone a trial. Mo Fan isn't a kind person; he's also good at framing people and getting them to talk.
