A vast and fundamental torrent of knowledge flooded into Lin Gui's mind, but he could only sigh helplessly.

It has five lower-level elemental magics, three mid-level elemental magics, two higher-level elemental magics, and one unorthodox soul magic.

Almost all types of magic have been gathered.

Unfortunately, they are all beginner level.

If he had received these things in his first two years in the industry, he would probably have been so excited that he wouldn't have been able to close his eyes for three days and three nights.

In order to finish that thick magic book that could kill someone.

He poured countless hours of effort into building the spell model from scratch.

If there were such a direct skill-enhancing reward, why waste two whole years?

But now...

He casually chanted a few syllables, and a few faint sparks flew from his fingertips.

With dead fish eyes, Lin Gui plucked a foxtail grass from the corner of the wall and manipulated the electric sparks to slowly burn it.

A minute later, the edges of the grass blades barely showed a hint of yellowing.

"......"

This power is so great that it's barely enough to tickle someone.

This is precisely why he has absolutely no interest in these basic spells.

too weak.

His gaze swept casually over the ten basic spells.

It was just a casual glance, but it suddenly froze on the [Levitation] spell.

"!!! How could I not have known! There's such a father figure hidden in basic magic!!"

The Mage Guild typically defines magic levels based on magic output power.

The higher the rank of the magic, the greater the consumption, the more terrifying the power, and the more exponentially the difficulty of learning it.

However, there is one rudimentary spell that completely defies this rule.

It has extremely high practical value, but is incredibly difficult to learn.

And... a pitifully low mana cost that is extremely disproportionate to it.

That's levitation, the magic that makes objects float.

It's that simple of magic.

Its complex and profound principles and operational requirements have stumped generation after generation of powerful mages.

At least, Lin Gui only flipped through a few pages before decisively giving up.

That thick 6578-page "Complete Guide to Elementary Magic" has 526 pages dedicated to explaining the levitation spell alone!

A bright light suddenly burst forth in Lin Gui's eyes.

He suddenly pulled out the oak staff and sat down sideways.

According to the magic operation method that was directly instilled in his mind by the system and had already taken shape.

He recited it in a low voice.

The next moment, the staff actually lifted his body, wobbling as it lifted him off the ground!

Seeing his feet leave the ground and he was suspended in the air, Lin Gui was so excited that his face turned red.

Which mage hasn't dreamed of soaring through the sky?

But in this world, this seemingly simple flying magic...

But it's an unconventional, beginner-level magic that has stumped countless powerful figures!

The terrifying thing about system rewards is that they completely bypass the dreaded learning process.

This allowed him to grasp its essence instantly.

Sitting on the staff, Lin Gui floated and swayed in the air, three or four meters above the ground.

Like a child who has finally gotten the toy they've been dreaming of, they play with abandon.

A strong impulse surged within him.

I want to fly higher and farther!

But it was still light out, and he didn't want to cause a commotion.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he remembered his signature move: the Night-Swept Gauze Robe.

Thinking of this, Lin Gui immediately began to chant softly.

The figure quickly faded, disappearing completely as if it had merged into the light.

He flew through the alley on his concealed staff.

He even mischievously stole an apple from a small fruit stand.

The shop owner who was leering at the prostitutes on the street corner with a lewd expression.

He was completely unaware of the forest ghost riding a staff that flew right past him.

Satisfied, Lin Gui left behind a few copper coins, his heart pounding with excitement. He then manipulated his staff and flew straight into the sky.

The wind whistled in his ears, and he was thrilled.

He climbed higher and higher, over rooftops, through clouds, until he found himself above a magnificent sea of ​​clouds.

Gazing intently at the magnificent sunset before me, I momentarily forgot everything else.

Lin Gui was startled awake when he felt the weakness of his body's magic power about to be exhausted.

He looked down and saw that the ground beneath his feet was tiny; he was actually thousands of meters in the air!

In an instant, his face turned deathly pale.

"!!!"

A sudden feeling of weightlessness washed over him, and he began to fall rapidly!

Lin Gui frantically squeezed out every last bit of magic power from his body, attempting to cast the levitation spell once more.

However, the speed of the fall was too fast, and the weak buoyancy that had just been generated was not enough to counteract the terrible gravitational acceleration.

Feeling the howling wind in my ears and the ever-approaching outline of the city of Karan.

Lin Gui's face turned from white to green.

He was at his wit's end, and his mind began to race with wild, random thoughts.

"Is this how my life ends? Is there any chance of me living another life?"

Even worse, the system's gloating voice rang out in my mind at just the right moment.

[Host, how do you feel about the reward the system gave you now?]

"Stop talking nonsense!! Just fucking save me!!"

Lin Gui clung desperately to the oak staff, his voice trembling with sobs.

【uh-huh】

[Bonus reward: Magic Reserve +100]

【（15/1264）→（115/1364）距离下一阶段突破差636点魔力】

A surge of pure and immense magical power instantly flowed into his nearly parched body!

Lin Gui clung tightly to this last straw, gripping the staff with both hands.

With eyes closed, he roared out the incantation with all the strength he had in his life:

"A breath of lightness, a feather of ethereal grace!"

"Relieve your burdens, and rise with the wind!"

"Levitation!! Rise!!"

A powerful buoyancy suddenly arose, desperately resisting the terrifying downward force.

Thanks to the extreme overdraft of 100 points of magic power, the speed of the fall was finally barely stopped.

Using his precarious levitation technique, Lin Gui glided unsteadily toward the ground.

Finally, amidst a commotion of chickens and dogs and mooing, it crashed headfirst into a farmhouse cattle pen outside the city.
