As summer turned to autumn, fallen leaves swirled in the wind and landed on the boy's shoulder.

Immersed in magical practice, time flew by, and two months had passed in the blink of an eye.

In the first class after the start of the semester, the homeroom teacher, Xue Musheng, gave a lecture on the most important lesson for magic students: the release of magic!

The casting of magic consists of three simple steps.

Meditation.

control.

freed.

It sounds as simple as putting an elephant in a refrigerator, but He An has been sitting on the hill behind the school for three whole days.

For the past two months, He An has been meditating every day.

Although he wasn't born with dual elemental attributes, perhaps due to his mutated Shadow element, He An, like Mo Fan, had twice the amount of time for meditation as an ordinary person.

Especially meditating in open spaces at night.

Under the moonlight, one's meditation speed and efficiency will be greatly enhanced, and one's spirit will recover quickly after meditation.

After two months of diligent meditation, He An was finally able to conjure stardust in the void and see the stars within it.

Having completed the meditation, I can now begin to try to control it.

Controlling the stars was actually simpler than He An had imagined, unlike others who needed to control each star one by one.

The first six stars saw He'an as loyal soldiers saw the king they had sworn allegiance to.

As soon as He An entered the mental space, they obediently surrounded him, warmly welcoming him.

But for some reason, this seventh star seemed to have its own unique thoughts, wandering around aimlessly and refusing to be swayed by either soft or hard approaches.

Whether He An tried to appease her carefully or to use force to suppress her, it had no effect whatsoever.

It always dances in the spiritual world with its unique steps, sometimes getting close to the exhausted He An, and then running away when He An tries to control it.

She left him far behind, like an elegant goddess teasing her sycophant.

He An learned from books in the school library that different students from different departments have different temperaments, but this was the first time He An had ever heard of such a strange temperament.

Withdrawing my thoughts, I refocused my mind on the mental space and began to concentrate fully on controlling the seventh star.

He simply refused to believe that a tiny star could cause such a commotion in his mental space.

Stars are coming!

The seventh star sped through the stardust, but under He An's patient guidance, its speed gradually slowed down, and it slowly approached the place where it should have been.

Yes, yes!

Good boy, that's how it is. If you make star trails, there will be plenty of delicious food!

So what if I have the essence of a monarch or an emperor? I'll get it all for you, Daddy!

Despite his excitement, He An remained cautious and wary of it.

I'm worried that it will pretend to obey again, just like before, and then suddenly run away like a jerk, pulling up its pants and running away when it's about to form a star trail.

Fortunately, this time the seventh star obediently stayed still in its rightful place, arranging itself neatly with the other six stars.

We finally succeeded!

In an instant, a magnificent star trail appeared in the stardust. This star trail was surrounded by dark purple star energy, symbolizing the shadow element, and continued from the first star to the seventh star at the end.

Seven stars swirled in the tiny stardust, conveying joyful emotions, seemingly excited about their first connection.

The next step is the third step: release.

Star trails formed!

Magic appears!

He An suddenly opened his eyes, a dark purple light flashing within them. A phantom star trail flashed past his side, giving He An, dressed in black, an indescribable sense of mystery and elegance.

"Shadow Escape • Shuttle!"

With a loud shout, He An felt a blur before his eyes, and he seemed to vanish into a void of darkness, where all the surrounding scenery and sounds disappeared...

Everything returned to deathly silence.

In the darkness, He An opened his eyes, an overwhelming joy welling up inside him.

From awakening to unleashing rudimentary magic, Mu Ningxue, a genius among geniuses in the capital, took 8 months, while Mo Fan, a super cheat, took 5 months.

And I, in fact, only took 2 months!

Not to mention those birdmen in the Holy City, even He An himself is starting to doubt whether he is some kind of heretic.

The joy of being able to unleash magic did not last long.

"Bang!"

A loud crash came from where He An had just been meditating. A demon slammed into the spot where He An had been standing, snapping the tree trunk, which would take three to five people to encircle, in half.

After the sudden attack, an eerie silence lingered in the woods for about three minutes.

Once he was certain that the demon was completely silent and there was no other movement around, He An cautiously stepped out of the shadows of the nearby woods, clutching the Shadow Star Orbit, and carefully examined the demon's corpse lying on the grass.

This was the corpse of a demon, covered in burn marks from flames, lying horizontally in front of He An. It was as tall as a two-story building.

All the hair on its body was singed and stuck tightly to its skin and flesh, with only one blood-red eye staring intently in the direction where He An had been.

"This is?"

One-eyed demon wolf?

He An's eyes were full of surprise.

Judging from its size, it's two sizes larger than described in the book, and is most likely a one-eyed demon wolf in the process of advancing to the servant level.

Shouldn't a one-eyed demon wolf of this caliber be roaming freely among the wolf packs outside the city, finding female wolves to breed with? Why would it come to the city?

Unlike giant-eyed gorillas, which prefer to live in dark corners, one-eyed wolves mostly inhabit desolate wilderness areas.

At this point, there were still more than two years until the day the Black Vatican planned to destroy the city. It shouldn't have crossed the security boundary and appeared in a human city at this time.

Could it be that the Black Vatican is preparing to make its move ahead of schedule?

He An's nerves immediately went on high alert.

This is an extremely dangerous signal. In this world, He An's only advantage is his foresight regarding the future development of the plot. Once the plot changes, his advantage will be completely destroyed.

He An recalled the details of the original work in his mind, pondering a solution.

Meanwhile, my gaze followed the one-eyed wolf's body downwards.

There was a huge hole in its waist, through which you could see that its internal organs and flesh had been completely carbonized under intense heat, a mark left by the mid-level fire magic, Fierce Fist.

This proves that the one who chased the one-eyed wolf must have been at least a mid-level fire mage. Fire mages of this level are rare in a small city like Bo City!

He An stared at the demon corpses on the ground, filled with questions he didn't know how to answer.

When his gaze fell on the shadow beneath the demon's corpse, He An suddenly had a thought and blurted out a few words as if possessed.

"Stand up."
