Full-Time Magister: One System, One Forbidden Spell, the Strongest Divine Gift

Chapter 8 No one among his peers could surpass him, thanks to His gaze.
Mu He wore a kind and amiable smile, but his fingers, hidden in his sleeves, were already clenched into his palms. He stared intently at the dazzling figure in the center of the arena, his heart surging with overwhelming killing intent.

Such a genius must not be allowed to continue growing!
In a resource-scarce place like Bo City, Chen Yuan's cultivation speed actually surpasses that of the geniuses from all the major families. What's even more frightening is that, given this young man's secretive nature, what he has shown so far is probably only the tip of the iceberg.
"We must get rid of him as soon as possible." A sinister glint flashed in Mu He's eyes as he plotted how to create an "accident" when he suddenly felt a dizzying sensation.

"Who?!"

He was horrified to find his consciousness being dragged into a chaotic space.

The surroundings were pitch black, with only the surging spiritual energy beneath their feet forming towering waves. A dragon, formed from pure spiritual energy, burst forth from the waves, its scales shimmering with a suffocating pressure.

"boom--"

The dragon opened its abyss-like maw, and before Mu He could even scream, he felt his soul being torn apart inch by inch. He struggled desperately, but couldn't move a single finger, and could only watch helplessly as the menacing teeth drew ever closer.
After Mu He's spiritual body was completely annihilated, a blurry figure emerged in the vast sea of ​​consciousness.

If Mu He could still see it, he would be terrified out of his wits. The figure was seven parts similar to Chen Yuan on the field, yet it was shrouded in a pressure that made heaven and earth tremble. Just standing there, it was as if it suppressed countless planes.

"Ants."

With that soft whisper, the figure vanished like smoke.

Just as everyone's attention was drawn to the extraordinary celestial phenomenon caused by Chen Yuan, a muffled "thud" suddenly came from a corner of the viewing platform.

Mu He suddenly knelt heavily on both knees, falling forward like a puppet with its strings cut, his forehead hitting the railing with a sickening thud.

"Chairman Mu?!"

Several teachers nearby jumped in fright. Someone rushed to help him up, only to find that Mu He was ice-cold and his face was ashen, like a lifeless corpse.

"Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"

The commotion quickly spread, and even some judges stood up to look around.

Mu Zhuoyun glanced at his unconscious cousin, but instead of being worried, he stroked his beard and laughed, "It seems he was amazed by Chen Yuan's talent."

He deliberately raised his voice, "My cousin has always been physically weak, so it's inevitable that he'd get overly excited when he sees such a peerless genius!"

As the Mu family guards hurriedly carried the person away, no one noticed the fleeting golden pattern on the back of Mu He's neck.

In the center of the arena, the pillar of light gradually dissipated, and Chen Yuan nonchalantly withdrew his palm, seemingly oblivious to the commotion.

"Continue the assessment."

He calmly told the stunned examiner that he was not interested in Mu He, who had collapsed and was not getting up. Even if he had died on the spot, it could only be said that he had rid the people of a scourge.

The "S+" rating on the sensor stone shone brightly, making the bloodstain Mu He had left on the railing stand out even more.

The assessment process was quick, since light-type attacks don't do much damage in the early stages. So the examiners simply had Chen Yuan cast a Radiant Light spell on the spot, and that was considered a successful assessment.

However, Chen Yuan's speed in casting magic was unmatched, and the examiners ultimately gave him an "S+" score. Principal Zhu even announced this on the spot.
Chen Yuan was not only admitted to the top class without taking the entrance exam, but his time to use the Stardust Magic Artifact was also extended by one month!

"Teacher Tang Yue is right. A piece of gold will always shine. With this move, Chen Yuan will probably become famous throughout Bo City!"

"That's what Chen Yuan deserved. He's humble and helpful. I'm not jealous that he got first place."

"Yeah, if I had awakened the light element, I probably would have jumped off a building by now."

"."

The discussion below the stage was lively and continuous.

After the assessment, Chen Yuan quietly left, ignoring the still-boiling crowd behind him. The end of the annual assessment meant the start of a long holiday, and he already had plans in mind: to use this time to fully focus on breaking through to the intermediate level and elevate his strength to a new height.

"Kid, you've been keeping it well hidden."

A woman's voice, tinged with laughter, came from beside her. Tang Yue leaned against the sycamore tree, her black trench coat accentuating her slender figure. She toyed with a badge between her fingers, her eyes gleaming with the sharp glint of a hunter spotting its prey.

"They even managed to fool me."

She took a few steps closer, her red lips curving into a meaningful smile. "For the Light element to possess such power, it seems that this shallow pool in Bo City has truly nurtured a true dragon."

"Just lucky," Chen Yuan shook his head, appearing very modest.

Tang Yue smiled when she saw this, and suddenly leaned close to his ear, her warm breath brushing against his earlobe: "If you have time during the holidays, come and have tea with your sister. This is for you."

Tang Yue patted Chen Yuan on the shoulder, then stuffed a fist-sized badge into his pocket, and disappeared in a flash without giving Chen Yuan a chance to speak.

"."

Chen Yuan stared in the direction where Tang Yue had disappeared, shaking his head helplessly: "What a strange fellow."

He looked down at the badge in his hand and saw a gem that shimmered with starlight embedded in the center. It was clearly a mortal-grade Stardust Magic Artifact.

As Chen Yuan ran his fingertips over the cool surface of the gemstone, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

This level of cultivation aid would cost at least several million on the black market. Tang Yue casually handed it over as if she were tossing a piece of candy.

"She really is a little rich woman," he muttered to himself.

Unfortunately, such ordinary items were practically useless to him. Since his awakening, the light element within his body had inherently accelerated his cultivation. Unless it was a cultivation holy land like the Three-Step Tower, otherwise...
"Brother, someone is looking for you."

Zhou Min's voice suddenly came from behind.

As Chen Yuan turned around, his pupils involuntarily contracted for a moment.

The woman standing next to Zhou Min seemed to have come from another country; her long, silvery-white hair shimmered with a pearly luster in the setting sun.

A moon-white dress accentuated her perfect waist and hip curves, the hem swaying gently in the breeze. Her captivating, icy blue eyes were fixed intently on Chen Yuan.

"Little Snow."

Chen Yuan called out softly, his voice carrying a gentle warmth reminiscent of a long-awaited reunion.

Over the years, the two have kept in touch, but have only met a handful of times.

One is far away in the capital, and the other remains in Bocheng, each cultivating themselves and growing in their own way.

But at this moment, gazing at the girl before him, who was as aloof as frost yet breathtakingly beautiful, Chen Yuan was momentarily lost in thought. The little girl who used to tug at his clothes and follow behind him had now grown into such a stunning beauty.

Zhou Min looked at this and then at that, and suddenly chuckled: "You guys chat, I'm going back to cultivate first."

"Okay, go back and focus on your cultivation." Chen Yuan said, gently tossing the badge inlaid with starlight gems to Zhou Min. "Take this and use it; it was an investment from a kind person."

"Oh!" Zhou Min caught it in a fluster, her eyes wide open.

She carefully stroked the surface of the badge, then suddenly pounced on Chen Yuan and gave him a bear hug: "Brother, you're the best!" After saying that, she skipped and ran away, her ponytail drawing a cheerful arc in the sunset.

Only after Zhou Min's figure disappeared around the street corner did Mu Ningxue slowly speak: "You still spoil her so much."

Her voice remained cold, yet carried a subtle, almost imperceptible emotion: "You can even casually give away something as valuable as the Stardust Magic Artifact."

Chen Yuan turned to look at her and found that her icy blue eyes were fixed on the direction Zhou Min had left in. A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling Mu Ningxue's silvery-white hair, with a few strands playfully clinging to her slightly pursed red lips.

“My younger sister needs it more than I do. With my talent, the Stardust Artifact is no longer of much use to me.”
