Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 25 The Black Rose Will Bloom for the First Time

"To put it simply, that night Lao Zhang invited Xu Zhaoting and me, two heroes, to dinner, and at the same time, he wanted to show off to Lao Xue."

"So Lao Zhang also invited Lao Xue, and at the same time, Zhou Min and Mu Bai, who were talents in Lao Xue's class, were also brought over by Lao Xue."

"That morning, Old Zhang had already probed the magical abilities of me and Xu Zhaoting, and witnessed my One Thought Star Orbit Manipulation."

"Xu Zhaoting, that big mouth, got drunk last night and took the opportunity to ask me about this, wanting to learn from my experience."

"Then I said..."

Wang Teng briefly recounted the story of what happened at the dinner party, along with some possible speculations about the two of them receiving guidance from Lao Xue afterwards.

After he finished speaking, he raised his eyelids slightly and saw Tang Yue holding a loaf of toast in her hand, listening with great interest.

"Go on, tell me more details!"

When Tang Yue saw Wang Teng suddenly stop, she wasn't going to be polite to him, since he had already said it to others.

That means that this thing isn't something too secretive for him, and she's too lazy to investigate it. Wouldn't it be better to just take what's readily available?

Wang Teng rolled his eyes at her, but he didn't intend to hide it from her. The stronger Tang Yue was, the better she would be to him. This woman was an extremely suitable head housekeeper.

To be honest, Tang Yue was a little hungry tonight, perhaps because he had become a demon and his blood and energy were too vigorous.

He wasn't interested in human souls; instead, he preferred interesting bodies. Perhaps that's what you call superficial.

"This actually goes back to my discovery of the essence of stars. We awaken by awakening stones, and what type of star we awaken depends on the type of star."

"Stardust can be created from the human spirit world, and it is divided into various attributes. It can only be controlled by spiritual power and can also be strengthened by the spirit."

"That means it is essentially a mental particle with attributes. As a medium, humans can use their mental power to manipulate magical energy and create magic."

"Because stars carry corresponding attributes, only stardust created from them can absorb magical energy of the same attribute, thus increasing one's magical cultivation level."

"Then humans unleash magic, which is driven by mental power, based on stars, and connected by star orbits, star maps, constellations, and other structures, leveraging enormous magical energy to form various kinds of magic."

As Wang Teng spoke, a flash of inspiration struck him. He realized that if the essence could strengthen the star, then spiritual power must be able to as well.

Moreover, this world has a very interesting setting, which is purity. Every item has a purity level, and the higher the purity, the higher the quality.

Elemental magic diamonds are formed from the condensation of extremely pure single-attribute magic energy; this is a forbidden-grade material.

Demons also have the same requirements; the higher a demon is, the more specialized it must be in a particular field.

The more diverse the attributes of a demon, the more mediocre its achievements tend to be, and it is unlikely to reach a very high level.

The only thing worth praising is that its combat strength is slightly higher than that of other units of the same level.

If you use the essence of a demon to strengthen a star, wouldn't the star become mixed with impure energy? Can the essence of a demon be the same as one's own spiritual energy? That's impossible!

This could create a hidden danger. If a demon with powerful spiritual energy interferes, will Xingzi still be able to do as she pleases during the battle?

The effects of instant-cast and non-instant-cast magic in combat are quite different.

If you want to climb to the top, this potential hidden danger must not be left behind. Magic may very well have been developed by demons or mythical beast totems in the beginning.

"Therefore, the control over the time of the stars is based on the amount of mental energy one has. If more mental energy is conserved, the time that can be controlled will naturally be more."

"My method is refining. Since the essence of a star is a spiritual particle, as an external spiritual particle, it is naturally impossible to control it at the beginning."

"Then completely suppress and nurture it with your own mental power, and then completely assimilate it into your own mental particles, imprinting it with your own mark. In this way, there will naturally be no problem of control."

"I also discovered two benefits. First, when advancing to the intermediate level, the difficulty of refining the new star particles that are differentiated from the star particles is reduced by more than half."

"Secondly, star particles can serve as containers for spiritual energy, absorbing and storing excess spiritual energy, which can effectively increase the level of spiritual energy over time."

"This is the secret to my ability to cast magic instantly."

"The way to conserve mental energy is to enter a state of normal meditation, free from external interference, so that mental energy is naturally depleted less."

"With less consumption, you'll naturally accumulate more mental energy, and your level will gradually increase."

"Regular meditation is also something that can be trained. The core of bringing meditation from the cushion into daily life is to keep your mind and will unwavering."

"It's difficult at first, but once you enter a normal meditative state, there are many benefits. Not only does your mental energy not dissipate, but you can also resist a certain degree of illusions and mental intimidation."

"In particular, it greatly reduces the generation of various desires and emotions, making the body and mind pure and undefiled."

"The last point is quite important: maintain a mind free from desires and wants during training. Only then will desires and sensations be like dreams and bubbles. Otherwise, you will be possessed by demons."

After talking so much, Wang Teng felt his throat was dry, so he picked up a glass of wine and took a sip to moisten it.

"Zhou Min and Mu Bai most likely got their ideas on how to conserve mental energy from Lao Xue. Their superficial efforts have some effect, but not much."

"Even if you don't handle your emotional issues well and forcibly suppress them to maintain a calm state of mind, you will eventually explode."

"Unless they can break through their existing perceptions—after all, personal perceptions are very stubborn—if they believe something is impossible in their hearts, then it's basically impossible."

After listening to his detailed description, Tang Yue was immediately amazed. This cultivation method, comparable to the foundation of a noble family, was just casually mentioned by him.

Moreover, the manipulation of stars, instant magic, and the accumulation of mental power—which of these three is not an important foundation?

"Is it really okay for you to explain such an important cultivation method to me in such detail?"

Now, she suddenly felt a little uneasy, feeling that she couldn't accept this gift. How could she possibly accept it?

Based on that little bit of favor?

Tang Yue knew very well that even without her, Wang Teng, with his talent and ability, could still rise to prominence and had plenty of ways to acquire resources.

Compared to this excellent Foundation Establishment cultivation method, the little bit of resources she contributed was nothing.

Not to mention that the other party also has the most crucial secret: transforming into a demon and cultivating demonic magic.

An invisible pressure seemed to have come down on her shoulders, making her suddenly feel a little breathless.

The other person's talent, ability, and calm demeanor made her sitting here seem almost like facing a forbidden spell for the future.

She suddenly remembered a miscellaneous chapter on magic she had read before, which discussed the understanding of genius magic and each person's magical will.

Every great magician possesses their own unique magical path, and their understanding of magical theories is a profound mystery unimaginable to mortals.

Using "mortal" as a synonym for an ordinary magician reveals just how vast the difference is between the two.

When she watched it at the time, she didn't feel anything, but at this moment, she really felt like she was facing a future giant of the demonic path.

Wang Teng watched as Tang Yue fell into deep thought, her body seemingly trembling slightly. Was she too excited?

He tossed the chicken bones on the table, sucked on his fingers, took out a tissue to wipe his hands, then got up and went to the woman's side, bent down and picked her up in one swift motion!

"What are you doing?"

Tang Yue was startled by his hug, her face immediately flushed, her voice trembled slightly, and she gripped his clothes tightly with both hands.

"Of course~"

Wang Teng smiled and replied affirmatively before turning and entering his room.

Boom!

With a dull thud as the door slams shut, night falls, and the Black Rose will bloom for the first time!
