I gained immortality in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 30, Part 31: Thunder Script - Swift

Jiang Shang slowly opened his eyes and looked at the level four magic floating in front of him.

"? Isn't it an electric field?" Jiang Shang thought to himself.

I looked at the words with curiosity, feeling the connection between myself and this magic.

"Ji? Does it mean speed?" The meaning of the strange characters that seemed to be rushing like thunder flowed into Jiang Shang's heart from nothing.

With a thought, the character composed of lightning floated directly towards Jiang Shang and merged into his body.

The next moment, countless brilliant white lightning bolts rippled out from his body and swirled around him.

Jiang Shang was completely surrounded by surging lightning, with sparks the size of a hair constantly flying around him.

In his view, everything slowed down!

The trails of dust in the air and the flapping of wings of flying insects were all clearly visible. Plastic bags blown by the wind also floated slowly in the air, as if they had no weight.

I raised my hand and felt the surrounding light begin to distort, even showing colors.

Jiang Shang merely shifted his feet slightly, yet covered a distance of nearly 100 meters. However, only two or three footprints were left on the training field!

Holy crap!

"I've become the Flash!"

Jiang Shang was utterly shocked; this level four magic was incredibly powerful. Slave-level demons typically moved at 20 meters per second, with exceptional ones moving even faster. But "Swiftness," with its speed of 100 meters per second, could easily outrun a slave-level demon!

"Even wind-type skills, known for their speed, aren't this fast before level three. That's pretty impressive!"

He closed his eyes and carefully felt how the skill worked. He discovered that once it was cast, it only required a supply of mana to continue.

"That's good, at least it saves us the trouble of releasing it again."

Then, with a step, they continued exercising.

…………

Swoosh~~

Boom!

Upon returning home, Jiang Shang rushed back before his magical energy was completely depleted.

"Phew, this skill is powerful, but it's a bit tiring, and it also consumes a lot of magic energy," Jiang Shang thought as he sat on his sofa.

However, on the other hand, since this level four magic has demonstrated the ability of "speed," could there be other spells as well? After all, once there is one, there will be two.

Jiang Shang entered the spiritual universe, looking at the lightning-elemental stars circling around him. He reached out and picked up the Third Brother, who was running around happily, and carefully observed him with his spiritual power.

"...The purple patterns became more defined, looking like clouds, lightning, and other patterns interwoven on them."

Thinking of the words that the lightning had created during the spell, Jiang Shang used his last bit of magic power to unleash a level four spell.

In the spiritual universe, the lightning-elemental planets were also rapidly lining up, and lightning magic energy began to flow continuously between them. After the star orbits were connected, a blazing bolt of lightning magic energy pierced through them.

A constant hissing sound echoed around my body.

Jiang Shang did not open his eyes, but continued to observe the movement of the stars in his spiritual universe.

"So that's how it is!"

The connections between star trails are not only smoother and more efficient than those at level three, but the very nature of the star particles has also been altered!

Otherwise, it would have released another level 4 spell.

If I'm not mistaken, this isn't word magic, but a decree!

The family's own *Thunder Jade Classic* states: Thunder governs heavenly calamities and blessings, and holds the balance of all things. It controls all things and people, governs life and death, inspects and closes, and manages creation and destruction. From the Heavenly Emperor above to the Earthly Emperor below, none can carry out their commands without thunder. From the grand scale of life and death to the minor scale of prosperity and decline, none can govern without thunder. Thunder's decrees are subordinate to certain entities. Those subordinate to Thunder's decrees each have their own ruler.

What he had just released was an imperial edict, but compared to the normal understanding of an imperial edict, his was only one word, which seemed rather meager.

However, now that we understand the essence of this magic, other decrees are no problem to be easily controlled.

The most urgent task is to learn the text of this edict. Since we want to change the content of the edict, we will definitely need to write it ourselves. Let's learn the characters first.

Grass, a type of plant!

Even after time-traveling, I still have to learn a foreign language!

"However, I remember this scripture seems to be in the scriptures. I think it would be easier to learn if I could translate between English and Chinese."

The next morning, Jiang Shang woke up in his bed, which was less than 180 meters long.

Yesterday, while studying the text on the Thunder Jade Scripture, he triggered a passive ability he had developed long ago. This ability stemmed from his school days before transmigrating—[feeling sleepy whenever he studies a foreign language].

After a hard-fought battle, Jiang Shang, exhausted from the depletion of his magical energy, drifted off into a sweet dream.

"Reading scriptures consumes mental energy, and memorizing them consumes even more. So how did I even learn these scriptures? Did the Great Emperor just cramm them into my head? I forget them as soon as I close the book!"

Jiang Shang got up, grumbling and cursing.

Today he decided not to read books, but to meditate instead!

Since learning this stuff consumes mental energy, why don't I just increase both the total amount and the quality of my mental energy?

Looking at the ordinary Stardust Magic Artifact in front of him, Jiang Shang suddenly felt a strong urge to use a cheat code like a little mudfish.

This way, he won't have to buy cultivation tools himself. Not only can he collect remnant souls and essences to accelerate cultivation, but he can also collect the seven Dragon Balls to summon Shenron later on. It's absolutely awesome!

Unfortunately, that scoundrel author won't give it to me!

Because higher-level Stardust artifacts not only allow one to cultivate for a longer period of time, but they can also continuously nourish the user's Stardust, which is equivalent to meditating at all times.

A powerful cultivation buff!

The purpose of Jiang Shang's visualization method is to improve the quality of meditation. It can make one meditation session of Jiang Shang equivalent to ten sessions of cultivation for others. Moreover, the divine aura of the Great Emperor that he visualizes can also nourish Jiang Shang's spiritual power and relieve the fatigue caused by meditation.

This cooldown reduction effect can be stacked with Stardust Magic Item!

Jiang Shang's cultivation efficiency is already 60% higher than others. If he breaks through to the intermediate level and can complete the visualization once, his cultivation efficiency will increase even more!

"Break through to intermediate-level magic before the college entrance exam!"

After giving himself a pep talk, Jiang Shang arrived at the meditation room he had set aside at home—a room partitioned off by a partition.

Since the commotion caused by absorbing the spirit seed last time was too great, Jiang Shang went to the market and spent some money to buy some soundproofing panels and installed them in his house.

This way, if any magic is used in the process, there will be an explanation, and it can also prevent your magic from electrocuting something again.

After having dinner with the Fifth Captain and his team yesterday, I learned about the mission schedule of the Cloud City Demon Hunting Team. They usually go on missions once a week, sometimes twice.

The last mission was just two days ago, and there shouldn't be any more missions in the near future. It's a good time for meditation.
