Full-Time Magister: The Light-type Disaster Was Actually a Seraph

"To forcibly awaken magic, in addition to the Earth Core, a Super-Rank Awakening Stone is also required."

Seeing that Luo Xiao seemed to have only a vague understanding, Hua Zhanhong patiently explained, "The Earth Core acts as a 'guide stone' here. It can precisely transmit energy into the Awakening Stone, forcibly creating a patch of magical stardust in the spiritual world."

He paused, then continued, "The Earth Core's attribute is extremely exclusive; whatever its attribute, the magic it ultimately awakens can only be of that attribute."

Luo Xiao nodded thoughtfully, then frowned slightly: "Can one still awaken normally after reaching the intermediate stage?"

"Since the first element has been forcibly awakened, the subsequent magic awakening process will naturally be no different from that of an ordinary person," Hua Zhanhong sighed.

"But the side effects are also significant. Starting from the second system, their cultivation speed will be much slower than that of ordinary people. To catch up, they need to spend a huge amount of resources to build up their progress."

"Wait a minute..." Hua Zhanhong suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

He suddenly realized that when Luo Xiao asked him for the resource slot to "cultivate two people to the fourth level of super-level mastery", he didn't specify who it was for.

"Those two spots you mentioned before, could they be your two younger sisters?" Hua Zhanhong's eyes widened, his tone filled with disbelief.

"You got it right. There's no reward for you, but do you want me to give you a little red flower?" Luo Xiao nodded frankly, with that smug "I knew you'd understand" expression on his face.

"..."

Hua Zhanhong was speechless for a moment, his chest heaving with anger and blood.

To forcibly awaken a useless person and then cultivate them to the point of mastering all four elements at the highest level? The resources consumed in this process are at least ten times that of normal circumstances. This is not training a mage; it's burning money!

I got scammed!

Just as Hua Zhanhong was about to lose his temper, the image of that reasonably priced, high-quality piece of Earth Core popped into his mind.

The thought of the treasure's value made him swallow back the roar that was about to come out.

Sigh, whatever, suffering a loss is a blessing, suffering a loss is a blessing... He silently repeated it to himself twice before he could barely calm down.

The two women, Mu Nujiao and Mu Nuxin, standing behind them, were completely dumbfounded.

Although they didn't quite understand the specific terms about "Earth's Core" and "resources," they could sense Hua Zhanhong's emotional changes.

They dared not disturb Luo Xiao, who was discussing serious matters, but in their eyes, this brother who had taken care of them since childhood and was omnipotent seemed to have become even more imposing at this moment.

"Chief Hua, this is the highest quality plant-based awakening stone in our Oriental Pearl Pagoda."

A moment later, Guo Liyu strode out carrying an exquisite tray. On the tray, a pale green crystal was emitting a heart-stirring vibration.

"This stone is made from a rare material extracted from the heart of the Amazon rainforest. Even if a high-level mage uses it to awaken their fourth element, there is a high chance of obtaining 'high-level regeneration'."

"Yes, lead the way to the Super-Awakening Room," Hua Zhanhong said in a deep voice, regaining his composure.

The four followed Guo Liyu to an extremely luxurious awakening room, where every magic array and every floor tile was built to super-grade standards.

Only the strongest at the very top of the pyramid have ever been able to enter this place and awaken their magic.

Guo Liyu probably never dreamed that his sacred Super-Rank Awakening Room would be welcoming an ordinary person forcibly awakening today.

He carefully placed the Awakening Stone on the Awakening Platform, then stepped aside, looking at Hua Zhanhong with expectant eyes.

He overheard the conversation; the Southern Army Commander was actually planning to use the Earth Core to help an ordinary person awaken.

He had never seen anything like this before, even in his long life. It was an absolute waste of talent... no, it was incredibly extravagant!

The heart of the earth.

That's a treasure that can allow even a super-level cultivator to break through forbidden spells. Even the Oriental Pearl Mage Tower doesn't have a complete Earth Core. This thing isn't something an individual can possess.

Who are these three young people who could get the Commander-in-Chief to use the Essence of the Earth to help an ordinary person awaken magic?

Guo Liyu glanced at Luo Xiao and the other two without making a sound.

Although it's unclear who these people are, their words and actions just now show that this boy, who looks like he's still in high school, is communicating with Hua Junshou on an equal footing.

Both parties are on the same level. In this case, either the two parties have been on good terms for generations, or this person is also a forbidden spell level expert, or even a national-level mage.

The latter is obviously impossible, which means that this person has an extraordinary family background, and at least one member of the family has produced a forbidden spell level expert.

"Are there any powerful families in the country with forbidden spell level experts? Are they hidden families? Or is it just a small family?" Guo Liyu wondered to himself.

Hua Zhanhong ignored Guo Liyu's gaze. He stepped forward, took out the Earth Core that exuded rich vitality, and placed it next to the Awakening Stone.

Immediately afterwards, he made a single gesture in the air, and dazzling elemental light flowed from his fingertips.

hum-

A complex transport array instantly formed between the two stones.

With the blessing of this magic array, the originally violent and chaotic power within the Awakening Stone was instantly regulated, the plant-type energy was infinitely amplified, and the power of other attributes was completely suppressed, ensuring the absolute purity of the awakening.

"That's fine." Hua Zhanhong nodded slightly.

"Xin Xin, go upstairs." Luo Xiao turned to look at Mu Nu Xin.

Mu Nuxin took a deep breath, suppressing the tension in her heart. She took a few steps forward, placed her trembling hand on the Awakening Stone, and slowly closed her eyes.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

boom!

The Awakening Stone suddenly burst forth with a dazzling deep green light.

The light was pure and profound, so rich it was almost tangible, instantly illuminating the entire Awakening Room and casting a turquoise hue on everyone's faces.

As the light slowly faded, Mu Nuxin suddenly opened her eyes.

The once jet-black pupils now seemed to contain two pools of emerald green spring water, a unique phenomenon that occurred when magical stardust formed within the body of a newly awakened being.

"Brother Luo Xiao! I...I've awakened magic!"

She was so excited that she was incoherent, and even ignoring the still glowing Awakening Stone, she turned around and threw herself into Luo Xiao's arms.

Tears instantly soaked his clothes; the grievances, inferiority, and resentment that had been suppressed for a whole year poured out in that moment.

She never imagined in her life that she would one day be able to awaken magic.

Since her failed awakening last year, she has been replaying that scene in her dreams: the awakening stone remained unresponsive, and everyone cast pitying or mocking glances at her.

She thought she would only ever be an ordinary person, watching her sister and Luo Xiao go further and further away, leaving herself far behind.

But now, everything is different.

"Cultivate diligently, and ask your sister Jiaojiao if you don't understand anything." Luo Xiao patted Mu Nuxin's back gently, comforting her for a while before her emotions gradually calmed down.
