He was a martyr's family member, and the entire military in Bo City was watching. If he dared to make a move here, Salang, whose plan had been ruined, would dare to silence him.

Mu He snorted coldly: "You're still young and haven't experienced the harsh realities of life."

"Looks like you've gotten quite a few beatings."

"you!"

Mu He hardened his fist and took a deep breath: "Think about it again. If you want to sell, contact me anytime."

After saying that, he turned and left, ignoring Mo Jiaxing who was smiling and apologizing beside him.

"Sigh..." Mo Jiaxing sighed, his eyes drooping. "Fangzai, it's not that I want to lecture you, but you really need to change your temper. He's the head of the Mu family, so we should just bear with it."

Having lived in this era of rigid class divisions for a long time, Mo Jiaxing completely lacked the concept of equality for all.

Or rather, people who hold this belief are the real outliers.

For example, Mo Fan, and for example, myself.

Xu Fang didn't want to persuade him any further and changed the subject, saying, "Uncle, now that the house is sold, where will you live?"

"Sigh, I guess I'll rent a place." Mo Jiaxing said, but his eyes unconsciously glanced at his beat-up pickup truck.

Xu Fang understood that the "house" Mo Jiaxing was talking about was most likely this pickup truck.

"Uncle, how about this? I have another house that my grandparents left me. If you don't mind, you can stay there for now."

"No, no, that won't do!"

Mo Jiaxing waved his hands repeatedly.

“Uncle, don’t rush to refuse,” Xu Fang said. “The house is in a rather remote location, in a town on the outskirts of the city. It’s usually hard to rent it out.”

Besides, it's an old house, quite dilapidated, and hasn't been lived in for many years. Your visit will bring some life back to the house. There are also two trees in the backyard planted by my grandfather, one is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree. Could you water them for me sometime?

After hearing what he said, Mo Jiaxing was actually a little tempted.

"Also, you shouldn't work for the Mu family anymore. The military has a procurement convoy from the city to Xuefeng Mountain. The pay is quite good, and the transport points are inside Anjie, so it's very safe. The person in charge is a friend of my mother's, and I asked her to help add your name to the list," Xu Fang said.

Mo Jiaxing was in a dilemma. On the one hand, what Xu Fang said was exactly what he needed, but on the other hand, it was difficult for a middle-aged man to accept the kindness of a child, especially since the child was an acquaintance of his son.

Xu Fang could basically guess his thoughts.

He was willing to help Mo Jiaxing not because he was Mo Fan's father. More importantly, Mo Jiaxing was a very respectable person—honest, kind, optimistic, and tolerant of younger generations.

Putting everything else aside, even though he himself looked sallow from malnutrition, Mo Fan and Ye Xinxia never lacked for food, clothing, or other necessities. When Mo Fan wanted to go to high school, he sold the house without hesitation.

For Xu Fang, who was concerned about his parents' memorial service, he was willing to say a few more words.

"Uncle, although Mu He likes to talk nonsense, there is one thing he really said. If Mo Fan wants to become a beginner mage, he absolutely cannot do it without resources. A magic tool costs at least 100,000. Can he do it without money? Uncle, you don't want Mo Fan to never become a mage, do you?"

Mo Jiaxing was completely convinced, and rubbed his hands nervously: "Then, thank you for letting me go. I'll pay the rent as usual..."

“Those are minor matters, but Uncle, I must tell you in advance that the house is very small, Mo Fan and Xin Xia…” Xu Fang said.

"That's no problem!"

Mo Jiaxing quickly said, "Mo Fan can live at school, and Xin Xia can stay at her aunt's house. It's already very good that I can stay here alone."

The worse the conditions Xu Fang described, the more relieved Mo Jiaxing felt.

······

The next day, Xu Fang arrived at school early in the morning, only to be met with all sorts of strange looks.

Yesterday's rooftop suicide incident made this high school freshman famous.

Although everyone says that water and light magic users will meet on the rooftop, in all the years since Tianlan Magic High School was founded, only Xu Fang has actually jumped off.

Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and didn't care, so he sat down in the back row by the window.

"Yo yo yo, isn't this Xu Fang? Looks like the rooftop was too low, you didn't fall to your death." As soon as he sat down, Mu Bai's lackey Zhao Kunsan came over to provoke him.

Zhao Kunsan has now risen from the ashes, awakening a wind-type ability. Although he's still inferior to Mu Bai and Mo Fan, he's far superior to Xu Fang's light-type ability...

"Xu Fang, you got what you deserved for being so cocky as a kid!" Zhao Kun gloated. "How about it? Call me Third Brother, and I'll protect you."

Before awakening, he was timid and submissive; after awakening, he unleashed a powerful attack—that perfectly describes this third brother.

Xu Fang was just about to show this guy the art of cursing his ancestors for eighteen generations when a voice rang out from the side: "Zhao Kunsan, shut your dog mouth!"

Mo Fan strode over, followed by Zhang Xiaohou, who was as thin as a skeleton.

Zhao Kunsan subconsciously shrank back towards Mu Bai, and said with his neck stiff, "Mo Fan, I'm talking about Xu Fang, what's it to you?"

"Say one more word, and I, Mo Fan, will teach you a lesson today!"

Zhao Kun groaned, not daring to say anything more.

Seeing his underling being threatened, Mu Bai felt embarrassed and said coldly, "Mo Fan, don't go too far."

"You green tea bitch, did I even ask you?"

"you!"

The top two geniuses in the class were locked in a showdown, and the other students craned their necks to watch the spectacle.

Xu Fang advised, "Forget it, Bi Fan. We're classmates. If you keep cursing, people will laugh at you."

"You blondie..." Mo Fan frowned, but before he could speak, Xu Fang said, "If you ask me, since we're all magicians, let's have a fair and square duel in the ring, right after school today. Anyone who backs down is a coward, how about that?"

Xu Fang brandished his fist, the size of a sandbag, and Mu Bai could no longer maintain his composure.

Magician?

I just awakened and can't even use a single spell. What kind of mage am I? If you want to beat me up, just say so!

Xu Fang and Mo Fan were both street thugs who had honed their skills in street fights; either of them would only get beaten up if he encountered them.

That little bastard, he definitely did it on purpose!

Mo Fan was also amused, and, never one to shy away from a good show, he fanned the flames: "Yellow Hair is right, if you're a real man, then fight it out, whoever chickens out is a coward!"

Seeing the two men's ill-intentioned gazes, Mu Bai's expression was uncertain. Just as he was wondering how to end the situation, a voice as beautiful as heavenly music rang out.

"What are you all doing? Class is in session, don't you know? Go back to your seats!" Class teacher Xue Musheng scolded.

"How can you be so noisy on the first day of school? The class rules are posted right in front of us. Anyone who breaks them again will be punished according to the class rules!"

Seeing that the students had all calmed down, Xue Musheng nodded in satisfaction: "Now distribute the textbooks and prepare for class."

Chapter 4 Fire Prevention, Theft Prevention, and Prevention of Illegitimate Children

Thanks to the Wind Track · Drifting Shadow move from Zhan Kong, the textbook I received was quite worn, but thankfully there were no missing pages, so it didn't hinder normal use.

"You already learned the most basic magic knowledge in elementary and middle school, so I won't go into detail here. Now, please turn to the first page. Today's lesson is: Casting Magic!"

Xue Musheng wrote the question on the blackboard:

"After thousands of years of summarizing, human sages have summarized a formula for releasing [the virus], which consists of three steps:"

First, meditation.

Second, control.

Third, release!

Meditation is easy to understand: it's about emptying your mind and body in an undisturbed environment. Awakened magicians can see magical stardust in their own mental world; you can try it out.

Xu Fang closed his eyes and tried to enter a meditative state.

When reading novels, these are just words, mentioned in a few strokes.

But when it's your turn, it's not so simple... Heh?

Xu Fang looked at the stardust before him. "They've already come in?"

The golden stardust before my eyes, in the pitch-black spiritual world, is like a speck of dust in the universe, tiny yet beautiful and captivating.

Within the stardust, there are seven star particles that are rampaging and moving erratically in the spiritual world.

By connecting these seven stars in a specific order to form a "star track," you can unleash basic magic.

Upon reaching the intermediate level, stardust transforms into a nebula containing seven squared, or forty-nine stars. Seven star orbits combine to form a "star map," granting mastery of intermediate-level magic.

The same principle applies to higher-level magic, seven to the power of three. At this level, some exceptionally talented mages can develop their own combinations of spells to unleash abilities more suited to their needs.

Of course, the mage's methods go far beyond these.

Most mages with a bit of money will embark on the path of no return by spending real money. Whether it's magical artifacts with built-in skills or spirit seeds and soul seeds that greatly enhance attribute power, spending money will allow mages to easily defeat those of the same level.

Xu Fang noticed that these golden stars were surrounded by a crimson ring, which complemented the golden main body.

This must be his innate talent. As for whether it will be effective in actual combat, we'll only know when he releases the magic.

It should be better than a single-system or two-system one!

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.

After watching for a while, Xu Fang began to try to contact the stars with his mind.

Closer.

Closer.

Holy crap!

Xu Fang's mind went blank for a moment, as if he had been suddenly struck by a bright light source. He struggled to stay awake, and it took him several seconds to recover.

The first star had been forcibly pressed into its designated position, and despite its struggles, it could not move an inch.

As for the second one, Xu Fang couldn't control it no matter how hard he tried.

"Alright, students, wake up."

Xue Musheng clapped his hands to bring the students' attention back: "The release of magic is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Without the guidance of the Awakening Stone, it would be quite good if we could see stardust within a week."

Mu Bai said, "Teacher, I can see it now."

The classroom erupted in gasps of amazement. Mu Bai had put on quite a show and was in high spirits, tilting his head back like a big white goose.

Xue Musheng laughed and said, "As expected of a member of the Mu family, he is indeed exceptionally talented. Everyone should learn from Mu Bai."

Mo Fan curled his lip, thinking, "What's with this green tea guy showing off?"

I, Da Mofan, also saw it. He even used his mind to control the star, and although that naughty little thing escaped, it was still ten times better than you.
