I gained immortality in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 2, Lightning

A glimmer of light appeared in the void of the spiritual world. Jiang Shang carefully sensed it and suddenly discovered a tiny patch of purple stardust in his world.

卧*

Jiang Shang happily uttered a vulgar curse.

This stardust is too important to me; it's the proof that I can become a magician.

This pale purple stardust signifies that I have awakened the lightning element.

Jiang Shang clearly remembered the color of the elemental stardust when it awakened. Before coming yesterday, he had read the book about magical awakening many times - "On the Relationship between the Color of Stardust and the Element During Magical Awakening".

Red stardust represents the fire element.

Blue stardust represents the wind element.

Brown stardust represents the earth element.

…………

Purple stardust represents the lightning element.

"My God, Jiang Shang has awakened the lightning element!"

The classmates shouted, and even those who had previously awakened their fire element were envious of him.

Lightning element! Only one in a thousand novice mages have a chance to awaken it, and Jiang Shang actually got to do it!

"My God, someone in Class 3 has awakened the lightning element!" someone shouted on the playground.

"What?! A lightning elemental has appeared! Wow, this is incredible luck!"

……

In an instant, all the teachers and students in the school turned their attention to Jiang Shang from Class 3 of Grade 1. The purple lightning arcs that accompanied his awakening made him look even more dazzling.

"It's so noisy!" Jiang Shang slowly opened his eyes, his joy evident on his face.

When he opened his eyes, he found that the teacher was staring intently at him, and many classmates were also looking at him.

It seems to be because I awakened the lightning element.

However, Jiang Shang was also a little frustrated, since he hadn't awakened another element. It seemed that the innate dual-elemental benefit that transmigrators were born with didn't apply to him.

And the cheat codes and cheat abilities haven't arrived yet, so how did I even get transported here?

Could it be my enchanting ancestor? But does he really exist? I only studied and contemplated some Taoist classics; why would he bring me here?!

"Lightning element, yes, lightning element is good. You must cultivate it well in the future. If you have any questions, come and ask your teacher." Class teacher Qin Renyuan patted Jiang Shang on the shoulder and said with great satisfaction.

Jiang Shang nodded, but did not make any boastful claims.

Looking back at his classmates, he realized they were all staring at him. He suppressed his emotions, pushed through the crowd, and walked towards the back of the line.

……

"What a stroke of luck! Hahaha, Lei is in my class, I've struck gold!" Class teacher Qin Renyuan's face was full of joy.

"Alright, alright, stop looking. It's just awakening a lightning element. Maybe you'll awaken one yourself," the homeroom teacher said, waving his hand. But anyone with eyes could see how happy this guy was.

After all, for ordinary people, lightning attacks are not only more powerful than fire attacks, but they also have a paralyzing effect. If trained properly, even at the beginner level, one can have terrifying combat power to take on multiple opponents. Moreover, some statistics show that unless students who awaken lightning skills neglect their training, more than half of them can become intermediate-level mages.

After calming down a bit, the homeroom teacher resumed presiding over the awakening ceremony.

"Next……"

"Next……"

"Next……"

…………

"Haha, I knew Brother Jiang was a dragon among men, there's no way he could awaken such trashy magic as light magic."

Back in the group, Zhang Yi leaned over to him and said happily.

The boys next to him also gave him forced smiles; after all, they were better looking and had awakened a lightning-type ability. Isn't this something only a reader could do?

Jiang Shang also gave a bright smile, wishing them to awaken a good magic system.

"Next up, Zhang Yi."

Before long, Teacher Qin called Zhang Yi over to awaken his magic.

"I'm going now, Brother Jiang."

Jiang Shang patted Zhang Yi on the shoulder and then watched him walk onto the Awakening Platform.

Following his homeroom teacher's instructions, Zhang Yi placed his right hand on the Awakening Stone, closed his eyes, and began to experience his own spiritual world.

Soon, a golden light burst forth from the podium.

"Another light-based character."

A sound came from below the podium. Zhang Yi opened his eyes and looked at his awakened light system, feeling extremely dejected. He didn't even hear what his homeroom teacher had said to him. He turned around and walked off the podium towards Jiang Shang behind him.

"Hahaha, this guy is also a light-type magic user. He just said that light-type magic is trash. Now that he's awakened, aren't you trash yourself?" The boy next to Zhang Yi, who had already awakened his light-type magic, mocked him.

Zhang Yi didn't refute his words, but just stood next to Jiang Shang looking very lonely.

Seeing this, Jiang Shang glared at the boy who had just mocked him, telling him to shut up.

Then she put her arm around Zhang Yi's shoulder, pulled him close, and whispered to him...

"It's okay, don't be sad. It's just awakening a light-type ability."

"Let me tell you a secret, the Light element is actually really powerful, even more powerful than my Lightning element in some ways."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi immediately raised his face and stared intently at Jiang Shang, as if to say, "I'm not well-educated, don't try to fool me."

"Hey~, don't you trust me? When have I ever lied to you?" Jiang Shang said to him with a confident expression.

Zhang Yi thought for a moment and replied, "No."

"That's settled then. Let me tell you, once you awaken the light element, you can transfer to the ancient capital. They'll definitely treat you like a treasure there, or you can even go directly to the ancient capital university."

"Do you know what the advantages of the Light element are compared to the Light element?" Jiang Shang asked him mysteriously.

"I don't know," Zhang Yi said blankly.

"Light-based attacks are particularly effective against dark creatures. The ancient capital is teeming with the undead; you'll definitely shine there, and you might even be able to gather all the high-level resources."

The ancient capital is the former imperial capital of this place, where several dynasties established their capitals. Countless tombs are buried there; it was essentially the domain of the Undead Empire. Since the Blood Disaster in Bo City couldn't find it, Mo Fan definitely hasn't been to the ancient capital. Therefore, there's no ancient king to restrain him, so going to the ancient capital now still offers opportunities for advancement.

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi remained silent for a long time, seemingly struggling with his thoughts.

After a long silence, Zhang Yi finally spoke, "Thank you for your guidance, Brother Jiang. I'll go back today and tell my father I'm transferring to a school in the ancient capital."

"Well, I wish you success, but there's one thing I hope you'll be prepared for: there will be blood-red alerts every few days in the ancient capital. Although the light element is very strong there, you must be careful," Jiang Shang advised.

…………

The awakening ceremony was completed quickly.

After all the students had been awakened, the principal delivered a long speech in front of all the teachers and students.

If looks could kill, the principal would have been torn to pieces long ago.

After the principal walked off the stage, still seemingly reluctant to leave, the homeroom teachers of each class led their classes back to the classroom for the first lesson of the new semester.

On the first day, in the first class, the homeroom teacher, Qin Renyuan, gave all the students an important lesson: the meditation and release of magic!

The release of magic involves only three simple steps.

First, meditation.

Second, control.

Third, release.

Meditation, as the name suggests, is to concentrate fully on thinking.

When a person closes their eyes, various images are constantly flashing through their mind.

But if you don't think about anything and aren't disturbed, your mind is empty (not really), it's a void.

After a mage awakens, stardust of the corresponding element will appear in his void world.

In other words, as long as Jiang Shang closes his eyes and doesn't think about anything, allowing his mind to become as empty as a black universe, lightning-type stardust will appear within this stardust.

Lightning-type stardust is purple, looking like a purple cosmic dust floating there, beautiful, charming, and colorful.

There are seven stardust particles in total. These stardust particles move randomly within the small area of ​​stardust, like seven naughty and disobedient children running around energetically.

For any student who has awakened magic, as long as they can conjure stardust in the void and see the lively, bright stars within it, they have completed their meditation.

This first step is really simple!

During this time, Jiang Shang also encountered his own purple stardust.

However, didn't the teacher say that those with the Thunder Star are inherently very lively and proud, requiring me to spend more time controlling them? Why is what I've seen different from what the teacher said?

In Jiang Shang's lightning-type stardust, all the star particles were behaving obediently, as if there was a high-ranking person here, making them not dare to breathe loudly.

"Could my talent be 'One Thought Leads to a Path'? But that doesn't make sense. The book doesn't say that stars with this talent will stay still. At most, they'll be very obedient." Jiang Shang was very confused about this.

He slowly transmitted his thoughts to Xingzi, attempting to communicate with her.

"Why don't you exercise?" Jiang Shang asked.

Although Xingzi couldn't speak, he still pointed slightly in a certain direction, then obediently remained still. No matter how Jiang Shang called to him, he wouldn't move, and the other Xingzi were the same, as if what had just happened was just Jiang Shang's illusion.

Following his previous senses, Jiang Shang discovered a tall figure standing in his spiritual world. The figure was dim and ethereal, almost merging with his spiritual world. If it weren't for Xingzi's prompting, Jiang Shang might not have noticed it at all.

Jiang Shang's consciousness arrived beside the enormous figure and examined it carefully.

When she finally saw who he was, her pupils suddenly contracted.

"This is……"
