Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

The moment Lin Lan's hand touched the Awakening Stone, the Earth Attribute Guiding Stone began to take effect.

Lin Lan felt as if he were in a vast, boundless rocky arena. Dense earth elements surged up from below like a tide, almost completely engulfing his body!
His spiritual world was like a vast, dark universe, where only the area containing stardust could be touched by his will, while the rest was boundless, unexplored darkness. Each awakening was like unlocking a new spiritual territory, with a sea of ​​stars appearing and the previously dim areas being completely illuminated.

Awakening is about fully igniting this newly unlocked spiritual realm!
Lin Lan quickly located the faintly glowing star. But its color made him hesitate.

"Black? Black soil?"

The guidance was definitely successful, because Lin Lan sensed the earth element's aura.

But this earth element is actually black, is that an additional effect?
The colors of magical stardust, nebulae, galaxies, and even star seas are not static. For example, after fusing with a spirit seed, the colors of elemental elements often change.

However, the initial magic system should have a uniform color, with black representing dark magic. But this newly appeared magic system is not the brown of earth magic, but black.

"That must be a side effect!"

Lin Lan remembered that Mo Fan's earth element was gold, so her own black element represented a different effect!

Stardust was slowly taking shape, and soon stardust began to appear one after another.

One, two, three... until all seven stars have appeared, the awakening ceremony is complete.

……

Guo Liyu, standing to the side, kept his eyes fixed on the Awakening Stone, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

He gazed at the dark brown light emanating from the stone surface and murmured to himself:

"Earth element?"

"Strange... why is the earth element glowing with a black light?"

"Ahem~~~~!" Lin Lan coughed, signaling Guo Liyu to place another guiding stone.

“You’ve already awakened, why are you still using the guiding stone? Don’t waste it. If the awakening isn’t complete yet, I’ll definitely replace it for you,” Guo Liyu said.

"I can awaken two systems with each system awakening. Didn't Chief Hua tell you that?" Lin Lan asked in confusion.

No wonder Guo Liyu hasn't considered changing the guide stone after looking at it for so long; it turns out he doesn't know that he has awakened two elements in each element.

Dual system!

"You're the same as that guy named Mo... Mo Fan?"

Guo Liyu was stunned for a moment, and then almost stumbled and fell in the awakening room.

"Otherwise what?" Lin Lan said confidently.

"Then...then I'll let it go, you can continue."

……

Lin Lan placed the Shadow-type guiding stone under the Awakening Stone and then placed her hand on the Awakening Stone again.

Fortunately, the other element hasn't appeared yet. Actually, using a guide stone can awaken an eighth element, but it's not guaranteed to be the Shadow element. For the sake of that awakening probability, we still need to guide it.

The same method was used to guide the stone to exert its power. With her eyes closed, Lin Lan could clearly feel a strange energy surging into her palm, flowing through her limbs and meridians, and finally disappearing like a shooting star, entering the vast and boundless spiritual universe.

The once chaotic mental world seemed to be quietly awakened in some corner.

New systems are quietly conceived and growing. They are slowly but steadily changing this void, carving out a small territory of their own.

Tiny as dust, yet possessing a stubborn vitality. This new system exhibits an almost arrogant tranquility and coldness.

In terms of color, they are almost integrated with the background color of the spiritual universe, which is dark.

Guidance successful!
Lin Lan opened her eyes. One eye's pupil was dark brown, while the other eye was dark in color!

Earth element should have additional effects, while shadow element is quite ordinary. However, Lin Lan knows that the craftsman possesses shadow substances... hehe.

"Born with dual elements... no, awakened dual elements in each element, such a young super mage... the earth element seems to have special abilities... this is the first time I've seen this in my forty years... I've wasted my forty years of life." Guo Liyu said in a very low voice.

"Then I'll be going. It was really great to awaken here. I'll recommend more friends to come over later."

Lin Lan no longer planned to experiment with earth-based techniques here, fearing that the earth-based effects would destroy the awakening room.

……

Lin Lan chose the wilderness near Shanghai as the experimental site.

Once you reach the level of a super-class mage, you can easily master the basic spells of the new magic system.

Lin Lan patiently and calmly depicted the star trails.

One… two… three… four… until the seventh, the star trails are connected!
The structure of Saturn's star trails is extremely simple. Once all the stars are aligned, a streak of dark brown light sweeps across each star in turn, eventually condensing into a cluster of light at the position of the last star.

At the same time, Lin Lan opened his eyes, and his dark brown pupils instantly turned dark brown!

"Rock Mountain Thorn!"

Lin Lan caught the word in her mind and blurted it out!

He locked onto a grove of trees in front of his target and suddenly raised his hand.

A flash of dark brown starlight disappeared near his palm.

The next second, a strange power surged on the ground where the grove was located, and the entire surface rose up into a small mountain. The sharp rock peak at the top, shaped like the fangs of a monster, suddenly shot up and pierced through the trees in an instant!

Lin Lan genuinely felt that the most basic ground wave skill, Ground Wave Technique, was utterly useless.

The biggest difference between a high-level mage and a low-level mage lies in their far superior mental control. The principles of the elements, though varied, remain fundamental; as long as one grasps their inner laws, one can often create countless variations!

But low-level mages can't do that. They lack control and have a shallow understanding of the elements. It's already difficult enough for them to complete a ground wave spell by following the basic rules of earth magic. It's impossible for them to be like Lin Lan, who has just awakened and hasn't even practiced yet, and can release magic, let alone complete the skill evolution!
"It definitely has a side effect."

The range of power of this rock spike is extremely large, covering an area equivalent to a small grove of trees. The sharp rock spike is extremely strong, and even a warrior would be killed with a single blow.

The super-level effect means that Lin Lan can completely follow the earth-type path in Mo Fan's original work, and Lin Lan can feel that his effect is much stronger than Mo Fan's!
An earth magic spell with a super-tier bonus effect is truly exciting! You see, about 95% of people in the world simply use their magical abilities by following the prescribed path. Magic often resembles a pre-set template; only through the mage's own creativity and control can it be used flexibly and skillfully. This is precisely why innate talents, spirit seeds, and soul seeds—rare powers that can break through the monotony of magic—are so precious!
An additional effect is equivalent to having an innate talent. The advantage this brings in a duel is absolutely decisive. (End of Chapter)
