Chapter 53: Make money, Cultivate and Marry Tangyue!
Translator: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales
“Forget it, I’ll just get into a good university. I heard that even higher levels of Magic are only taught at university,” Mo Fan said.
When the Chief Instructor heard this, he felt angry.
_Sneaky kid, this Instructor inviting you to our forces is your luck, you actually dare to reject me!_
“Take the things and go. Don’t let me see you again,” Zhankong snarled, as his bad mood grew worse.
“Oh right, was there only a single Spirit Wolf guarding the cavern?” As Mo Fan carried it away, he was reminded of something and asked a question.
“There wa only one. If there were others, then you’d already have become their food. Why, do you still have some doubts?” Zhankong demanded.
“There’s nothing else, I just wanted to ask.” Mo Fan nodded his head and looked towards Instructor Bai Yang at the side, “Your Spirit Wolf sure can drink.”
Bai Yang was suspicious, but Mo Fan didn’t care.
“Hurry up and go!” Zhankong said impatiently.
——
Mo Fan was kicked out of the barracks, but he couldn’t help but whisper to himself, “This Advanced Mage got angry just because he gave away a Magical Equipment?”
The Bone Scythe Shield at this moment was in Mo Fan’s hands…
The Bone Scythe Shield just about covered Mo Fan’s entire palm. Mo Fan, who knew nothing about Magical Equipment, was puzzled at this moment.
_Can something that only covers my palm really withstand the attack of a Magical Beast? Do they really think all Magical Beasts have a compulsive obsession to only hit the shield of Captain America?_
After going through some research, Mo Fan finally understood how to use the Bone Scythe Shield.
When a Mage used their intent to enter the Bone Scythe Shield, the shield would automatically interlink with the Magician’s spirit and leave behind a Magical Equipment imprint within the Mage’s spirit world.
After the imprint was formed, the palm-sized shield would immediately assimilate into the Magician’s body.
When the Magician used their intent to circulate the imprint, the magical equipment would immediately appear in front of the user. The shield that would appear at that time would not be the size of a palm, it would become a shield wall the size of a man. Effects like the Spirit Wolf’s flying stones skill would then no longer be able to strike him.

“No wonder this thing’s price is so high. If I had this Bone Scythe Shield when I was up against the Spirit Wolf, then I could safely use magic from behind it!” Mo Fan looked at the large rhombus-shaped Bone Scythe Shield in front of him that bore the pattern of a scythe. He couldn’t help but smile.
With this Magical Equipment, he would have some resources to duel against Yu Ang of the Mu Family!
“Speaking of which, I possess both the Lightning and Fire Elements. Although Lightning Strike and Fire Burst are very useful, they still don’t have the desired combat prowess when I am truly facing a Magical Beast.” Mo Fan couldn’t help but ponder over this dilemma.
Being able to kill the Spirit Wolf actually involved lots of good fortune. If it wasn’t for the dazzling light that allowed Mo Fan to see the stalactites in the deeper part of the cavern, or Zhang Xiaohou’s Wind Trail, or the student’s unison attack, then he himself would have been shredded into pieces in an instant by the Spirit Wolf. If it wasn’t for them, then how could he have smoothly completed the bounty this time?
_I need to learn a spell similar to Wind Trail and Earth Ripple that allows me to move quickly, and quickly change my own position. Or else, with my slow speed, I might get smacked to death by a Magical Beast before I can even finish forming my Star Path._
After going through the battle this time, Mo Fan was finally aware of how important a defensive spell and a movement spell was.
In the Primary levels, only the Water Element possessed a defensive spell. In school, everyone thought that the Water Element was of little importance; however, in reality, the Water Element was essentially everyone’s benefactor when it came to battling a Magical Beast.
“In my hands, I have a Bone Scythe Shield. It can barely classify as a defense type spell. Thus, the next time I Awaken, I should consider a movement-type Element, like the Wind Element… or the cool one like Mrs. Tangyue, a spell that allows you to move through the shadows.”
The Wind Element’s primary spell, Wind Trail, was indeed remarkably useful in an actual battle. If you couldn’t break away from a Magical Beast’s attack, then you wouldn’t even have the margin of time needed to use your magic.

The Wind Element was a really good choice, but Mo Fan reckoned that the Shadow Element would suit him even better!
After doing his research, Mo Fan understood that the spell which Mrs. Tangyue used to move within the shadows belonged to the Shadow Element.
At his stage, the spells that everyone was familiar with were only within the basic Element types.
In reality, other than the “Basic Elemental Magic”, Magic had three other main types: White Magic, Black Magic, and Dimensional Magic!
The Healing Element was a part of White Magic.
The Shadow Element was a part of Black Magic.
The Summoning Element which Bai Yang wielded belonged to the Dimensional Magic type.
The nine years of compulsory magic education and High School classes only had basic elemental magic. If you wanted to learn about the three secondary types of White, Black, and Dimensional Magic, then you had to go to university.
Currently Mo Fan was in possession of the ability to control the Fire Element that possessed high attack power, as well as the tyrannical Lightning Element. With the Bone Scythe Shield, he had gained the ability to defend himself. The only thing he was missing now were the movement spells.
If one truly wanted to battle a Magical Beast alone, then one needed to have those abilities!
Shadow Element!
It was evident that this choice was the most suitable for him.
“I have to quickly rise to the ranks of an Intermediate Mage; that way I will be able to Awaken yet another Element. If only I can Awaken the Shadow Element!” Mo Fan said, filled with expectation.
Most people could only Awaken a single element as a Primary Mage.
Mo Fan had innate double Elements, and thus, it could be said that he already had a huge advantage.
An Intermediate Mage could not only learn the Intermediate level Magic spells, they could also Awaken a second time, and give birth to yet another Stardust!
After they Awakened yet another Element, the Mage’s battle prowess would definitely have an upgrade in quality!
Just like Chief Instructor Zhankong; when Mo Fan first met him, he was playing with flames. From that, you could tell that he was a Fire Mage.
However, in the cavern, behind his back was a pair of Wind Wings that shocked everyone’s hearts.
Thus it was very evident that not only did he cultivate Fire Element, he also cultivated the Wind Element.
Moreover, he could also deduce that Zhankong should be in possession of one more Element’s spell.
The Wind Wings was a spell that only Advanced Mages could control. Intermediate Mages already possessed double Elements, and when they reached the Advanced level, they would have a third chance to Awaken. They would have a third Element!
In short, Primary Mages only had magic of one Element.
Intermediate Mage could Awaken one more Element, and thus be in control of two elemental magicks.
Advanced Mage could Awaken yet another Element and control three elemental magicks.
Mo Fan was an innate double Element, thus, he was already one step ahead of others from the very beginning.
Additionally, if Mo Fan hadn’t had the combination of Fire and Lightning Eements, then he would not have been able to kill the Spirit Wolf. Chief Instructor Zhankong didn’t understand why the Spirit Wolf didn’t evade the falling stalactite. This was because he couldn’t imagine that not only was Mo Fan a Fire Element Mage, he also possessed the Lightning Element Stardust. It was the Lightning Strike that paralyzed the Spirit Wolf, causing it to be immobilized!
“I have the little Loach Pendant, as well as my cultivation capacity, which is twice as much as others. Thus, the progress of my cultivation will be much faster than other people. However, having both Lightning Strike and Fire Burst is not enough to single-handedly go up against Magical Beasts. I need to quickly become an Intermediate-level Mage; that way, I would have one more set of elemental spells other than the Lightning and Fire spells I have right now. Having more spells doesn’t create a burden on my body!”
_Mhm, mhm, I have to do my best._
_How did the slogan of the boys of Class Eight go again?_
_Oh, right! Make money, cultivate, and marry Tangyue!_

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
