Full-Time Magister: Can My Magic Cultivate Itself?

Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, the calendar has turned to May.

The early summer in Shanghai was already quite hot, but in the advanced fire-type training room deep underground, the temperature was even higher, like a living hell.

In the dimly lit training room, a pile of empty food packaging and plastic bottles were scattered on the floor.

On that simple single bed, a figure sat cross-legged, as if in deep meditation.

The figure belonged to Lin Chen. His hair was disheveled, and a layer of bluish stubble had grown on his chin.

Clearly, in order to seize that sliver of opportunity for a breakthrough, he had been in seclusion in this closed area for quite some time.

Just then, something unexpected happened!

"Buzz—!!!"

The fire element, which had been peacefully filling the training room, seemed to have suddenly heard some supreme command and instantly erupted!

Visible crimson light spots surged wildly towards Lin Chen on the bed from all directions.

The raging fire elements gathered more and more, squeezing and rubbing against each other, eventually converging into a terrifying crimson fire element vortex above Lin Chen's head!

The vortex spun rapidly, emitting a chilling whistling sound, and even the walls of the training room, made of a special material, began to tremble slightly.

Outside the meditation room.

The elderly caretaker, who was lying in a rocking chair with his eyes closed, holding a purple clay teapot in his hand, suddenly opened his eyes.

A sharp glint shot from his cloudy eyes as he stared intently at the door of the cultivation room where Lin Chen was, sensing the extremely violent energy fluctuations emanating from the crack in the door.

The old man was initially shocked, then a relieved smile appeared on his lips. He shook his head and murmured self-deprecatingly:

"Hmm? That little guy inside... he's trying to force his way through the barrier and enter the intermediate stage."

"Tsk tsk, these young people nowadays are really something else. Their cultivation speed is like a rocket, much faster than I was back then..."

Meanwhile, in the training room, Lin Chen was undergoing torment that was unimaginable to ordinary people.

pain!

The pain was indescribable!

This is not a physical injury, but a pain that comes from the depths of the soul and the spiritual world being torn apart!

In his mental world, the fire-elemental stardust that had expanded to its limit and was as dazzling as a ruby ​​was now being subjected to the frenzied impact of the immense magical energy pouring in from the outside.

Each impact of magical energy sent shivers down Lin Chen's spine, and cold sweat poured down his forehead like a waterfall, only to be instantly evaporated into white mist by the intense heat surrounding him.

"Break for me!!!"

Lin Chen let out a wild roar in his heart, like a beast, and concentrated all his mental power into a heavy hammer, which he smashed hard against the invisible barrier that bound Xingchen.

This is a hurdle that magical energy must overcome before it can break through stardust and transform into a nebula.

If one's mental strength is not strong enough, there is a high chance of failing to break through.

But if you can get through this, there will be a bright future ahead, and everything will be wonderful!

"Click—!"

A crisp sound, like shattering glass, resounded deep within Lin Chen's soul.

Under the relentless onslaught of the immense magical energy, the stardust that had accompanied Lin Chen for two years finally shattered completely!

However, after breaking through, an even grander rebirth awaits!

The shattered stardust did not dissipate, but instead transformed into an even more vast and profound crimson nebula!

The nebula rotated slowly, radiating a terrifyingly vast magical energy.

Within that brilliant nebula, forty-two newly born stars, newly joined to this fire-element family, galloped, leaped, and twinkled joyfully like wild horses!

Including the seven old stars that Lin Chen had completely tamed when they were in the initial stage, there were a total of forty-nine stars, which intertwined to form a magnificent and dazzling starry sky!

"call--"

Lin Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and it seemed as if two solid flames were burning in his deep eyes.

He was panting heavily, brushing aside his bangs that were completely soaked with sweat and stuck to his forehead, and finally couldn't help but grin into a wildly joyful smile.

Intermediate level! Finally done!

After the initial euphoria came an overwhelming exhaustion that engulfed him like a tsunami.

Lin Chen, supporting his weak legs, quickly gathered the surrounding trash into a black plastic bag and staggered out of the training room.

Back in his rented room, he didn't even have the strength to take a shower. He collapsed onto the soft bed and instantly lost consciousness.

Lin Chen slept soundly for a long time.

When he opened his eyes again, he squinted at the blinding sunlight outside the window, picked up his phone, and was completely stunned.

"Holy crap... I actually slept for two and a half days straight?"

Lin Chen rubbed his temples, which were still throbbing slightly, and gave a wry smile.

It seems that forcibly breaking through the mid-level barrier puts a terrifying strain on one's mental energy. If he hadn't been truly exhausted, he would never have been able to sleep for so long with his current physique.

After taking a cold shower and eating a large bowl of noodles, Lin Chen sat down cross-legged again, attempting to communicate with the forty-nine stars in his spiritual world.

However, half an hour later, he reluctantly opened his eyes.

"These new brats are too wild..."

Looking at the progress of his control over the fire element star, Lin Chen felt a headache coming on.

Those forty-two new stars were like hyperactive children, completely disobeying his mental commands, jumping around and unable to even connect to form a basic star orbit, let alone draw a star map composed of seven star orbits.

The current progress is less than five percent!

"It seems that it will be a long and arduous journey before I can unleash the mid-level magic 'Fierce Fist' in actual combat." Lin Chen frowned.

Conventional training is too slow; what he lacks most right now is time!

The vague sense of crisis about the disaster in Bo City that was hanging over his head was like a Damocles' sword, forcing him to build up his fighting strength as quickly as possible.

"We must rely on external forces."

Lin Chen's mind raced, and suddenly, a tall, aloof figure flashed through his mind.

He immediately took out his phone, opened WeChat, found the profile picture of the person he hadn't spoken to much since they added each other as friends, and sent a message.

[Lin Chen: Are you free?]

Less than a minute later, the phone screen lit up.

[Mu Nujiao: Yes, what's wrong?]

[Lin Chen: I'm going back to school now, let's talk when we meet!]

After sending the message, Lin Chen changed into clean clothes and hurriedly went out.

……

Meanwhile, in a luxurious private estate somewhere in Shanghai.

Mu Nujiao, dressed in comfortable loungewear, looked at the chat interface on her phone, a hint of surprise flashing in her cool eyes.

She turned off her phone, stood up, walked to the French windows, looked at the neatly trimmed lawn outside, and fell into deep thought.

After the Spring Festival and the start of the new school term, she did indeed take an opportunity to privately extend an olive branch from the Mu family to Lin Chen, promising that as long as he joined, the Mu family would provide extremely generous cultivation resources.

But as she expected, the proud young man refused very decisively.

From then on, although the two were classmates, they maintained the same relationship as before.

"Now, he's actually contacting me on his own initiative?" Mu Nujiao murmured to herself, her red lips curving slightly.

"I wonder what it is that made him set aside his pride and speak up... I'll find out when I go over there."

She quickly changed into a simple yet stylish outfit, instructed the driver to prepare the car, and headed towards the school.
