Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 5 Mastering Magic
The release of magic only involves three very 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, their mind is actually constantly conjuring up various images.

But if you don't think about anything and aren't disturbed, your mind is completely empty!

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

In other words, as long as Fang Yu closes his eyes and doesn't think about anything, allowing his mind to become as empty as a black universe, ice-type stardust and space-type stardust will appear in this empty mind.

For any magic student who has awakened, as long as they can make stardust appear out of nothingness and see the bright, lively stars within the stardust, they have completed their meditation.

It can be said that this first step, though simple, takes at least two to three months to complete.

Fortunately.

Because of the mysterious ancient tree, Fang Yu was already able to freely roam the spiritual world, saving a lot of time.

The second step in casting the magic is also very simple.

Upon entering meditation, you will see stardust, within which are seven lively, energetic stars that move about erratically.

Controlling means using one's mental energy to control these stars, making them quiet down and obediently stay in a specific position, forming a star trail.

When the star trails are connected, the magical power will be transmitted through these star trails to the mage's body, transforming into real magic and being released!

A few moments.

Fang Yu was immersed in his mental world, ignoring the space-type stardust and focusing instead on the ice-type stardust.

Ice-type stardust is ice-blue, looking like a piece of ice-blue cosmic dust floating there, beautiful, charming and colorful.

"It's you I've decided on. Let Daddy touch you." Fang Yu began trying to communicate with Xingzi.

Using his will to control the stars, Fang Yu had already locked onto a wild star and was trying to make it obediently stay there.

Ice Star Child, my partner!
Answer my call!

"Whoosh~"

However, that star was extremely aloof, ignoring Fang Yu like the plague, and fled at lightning speed!

Xingzi, never a slave!
It took off running, fleeing quickly right in front of its master, Fang Yu.

Stars, fearless!

A magician is better off without.

"Damn, how did it get so fast?"

"So arrogant, forget it, let's try another one." Fang Yu then began to communicate with another ice-type star.

"Little darling, behave yourself!"

"Daddy's here, come here quickly, be a good boy..."

The second star: ? ? ?

"Whoosh~"

The second star ran away as fast as it could, as if it had encountered an escaped criminal from a mental hospital.

Fang Yu: ? ? ?
Good, very energetic.

Fang Yu tried several other stars, but none of them took him seriously.

Some of them even ran faster when they sensed Fang Yu's will instructing them to do something!
Magical power cannot be transmitted when stars are spinning and flying.

To unleash ice-based skills, you need to subdue the stardust, connect it into a line, and transmit it into the mage's body...

Unfortunately, none of these ice-type planets are obedient. It's fine if you don't touch them, but once you try to communicate with them, they run away at lightning speed and can't stop at all!

After an hour, Fang Yu opened his eyes, but he had gained nothing; he hadn't even captured a single ice-type star.

"What are we going to do? When will we ever learn the Ice Vine skill?"

Fang Yu let out a long sigh, feeling a sharp pain in his testicles.

The basic ice-type skill is Ice Vine.

This skill is probably the most practical among all the basic magic types. Once you learn it and master it, you will basically have outstanding combat power and control.

Life is tough, Fang Yu sighed...

Forget it. Skills aren't so easy to learn.

Ice-type stars are extremely active, and it's not something that can be stopped in a day or two.

"Right now I can't even control one star, let alone seven stars at the same time... the road ahead is really long."

Indeed, learning magic, like studying, cannot be mastered in just a day or two.

……

Seven days have passed since the magic awakening.

It's worth mentioning that no information about the mysterious woman has been found.

Whether it's a blessing or a curse is hard to say; beauty is often a man's Achilles' heel.

Fang Yu wanted to challenge his weakness, but at this stage, failure would pose unknown dangers. It seemed he still needed to work hard to cultivate and become a stronger person.

Simultaneously.

Over the past seven days, Fang Yu has discovered that ice hockey is far more effective than he had anticipated.

It possesses the same ability as the Stardust Artifact and Nebula Artifact to restore mental energy and nurture star particles.

Stardust artifacts are special magical tools designed to aid in cultivation.

Normal people will become exhausted if they meditate for too long, and will be in a state of mental breakdown, experiencing tinnitus, blurred vision, and mental confusion.

At this point, one can no longer meditate or take control.

To put it bluntly, practicing meditation and controlling your mana consumes a lot of mana. For an average person, one bar of mana can only provide a maximum of five hours of meditation, while controlling your mana will only provide one hour.

Generally speaking, even a relatively ordinary Stardust Magic Artifact can extend the time by 20% at the initial stage.

Therefore, this type of magical artifact is extremely precious. As for Fang Yu's ice ball, although it is special, it has effects comparable to top-tier stardust magical artifacts.

Thinking of this, Fang Yu felt extremely happy.

Whether his talent is good or bad doesn't matter, after all, he has an ice ball born from a mysterious ancient tree.

As everyone knows, hard work plus external help is the key to success.

……

On the other side, the Lingyin Tribunal.

Leng Qing sat in the pavilion, gazing at the lake in a daze.

A gentle breeze stirred, and a white figure landed behind Leng Qing, bowing respectfully.

"presiding judge."

Upon hearing this, Leng Qing did not turn around, but slowly asked, "What is it?"

"I've compiled a list of suspicious personnel stationed in Bocheng, and I'd like the presiding judge to make a decision. This includes the personal information you asked me to investigate," Bai Zhi said, handing over the list and a document.

The list contains detailed records of their origins, cultivation levels, and any suspicious aspects.

Taking the list, Leng Qing lowered her eyes and opened it, finding that it contained only suspicious individuals.

Leng Qing closed the list and said, "No one has been confirmed?"

“There are only a few suspects. Further investigation is needed, and it will take some time,” Bai Zhi said quickly.

She was both relieved and worried that no one had betrayed her this time.

Logically, if the presiding judge had already begun to have doubts, things shouldn't have been so clean. Yet, surprisingly, nothing could be found in such a short time.

“With the methods of those powerful forces, some people cannot be investigated. Without sufficient temptation, they will only remain hidden.”

Leng Qing's voice was calm as she looked at the document: Fang Yu, an orphan, lives by the stream in Bocheng and is currently studying at Tianlan Magic High School. He has awakened ice magic.

Tianlan Magic High School: Fang Yu.

His gaze lingered on the name for a moment longer, then he said casually:

What is Fang Yu's background?

“Abandoned by my parents at a young age, I was adopted by someone who passed away a few years ago.”

"What about his usual behavior?" Leng Qing asked expressionlessly.

"She doesn't make enemies, gets along with everyone, and has a gentle personality," Bai Zhi responded.

After he finished speaking, Leng Qing remained silent, and no emotion showed in his eyes.
