Mo Fan Awakens, Dual Elemental Power of Thunder and Fire!
Chapter 10 Mo Fan Awakens, Dual Elemental Power of Thunder and Fire!
At this moment, to the teachers and classmates outside, the awakening stone under Ling Tianyu's hand suddenly burst out with a strong emerald green light. At the same time, evergreen vines sprouted from the ground out of thin air and wrapped around Ling Tianyu's arm.
The black and red glow of the curse was not outwardly visible due to Ling Tianyu's deliberate concealment.
"Awakening to magic and being able to influence the environment—what an extraordinary talent!" Class teacher Xue Musheng adjusted his square-framed glasses, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
"And it awakened a white magic plant-type ability! Haha, I've struck gold!"
"This is plant-based? How could a beginner awaken white magic!" Mu Bai's expression darkened. It was one thing for Ling Tianyu to have better grades than him, but he never expected that Ling Tianyu would awaken such a rare white magic. He had no advantage over Ling Tianyu at all.
No, there's more! I have the Mu family behind me; their resources and magical artifacts are far beyond what this commoner can compare to!
Mu Bai could only silently console himself, wondering what he would think when he learned of Ling Tianyu's progress in cultivation.
"Plant science major, no wonder he's a genius, invincible!"
"The probability of a plant-type awakening at the initial stage is even lower than that of a lightning-type. Our school sees a few lightning-type awakeners every year, but it seems like we haven't seen a plant-type awakener for several years!"
The first-year high school students below were in an uproar, whispering among themselves. The commotion even attracted students from other classes.
"Wow! That guy is so handsome!" a girl exclaimed, her eyes sparkling.
"I heard he was the top scorer in our high school entrance exam this year. He's got great grades, and his magical talent is so strong too! Does he even care about giving us students a chance to succeed?!"
"Plant type, exceptionally gifted. Cultivate diligently, and your future achievements will definitely be remarkable!" Xue Musheng's tone softened, but his words betrayed his barely suppressed joy.
A plant-type mage has appeared in my class. Looks like my bonus this month might double!
"Brother Yu is invincible! Long live Brother Yu!" Zhang Xiaohou shouted from below.
"Next, Mu Bai!"
Suppressing his excitement, Xue Musheng arranged for the next student to awaken his magic. However, with Ling Tianyu as a shining example, Mu Bai's ice magic barely caused any ripples. Apart from the homeroom teacher's smiling encouragement and his lackey Zhao Kunsan's flattery, almost no one noticed the magic awakening of this young master of the Mu family.
Time passed, and the magical awakening continued steadily. Ling Tianyu's successful start seemed to give the students in the class an invisible boost of confidence. The students after Mu Bai all seemed very excited, but then... they were slapped hard by the cruel reality.
"Water system..."
"Light system..."
"Light system..."
"Damn it, it's still light magic! Did Ling Tianyu absorb all my luck? Why are all the magics I awakened later such useless magic types?!"
"Bro, are you a light-elemental user?"
"Yes, what department are you in?"
"Water system!"
"You must be my long-lost younger brother. Come on, the rooftop is our final resting place!"
Such situations are common on the playground.
…………
"Oh, that boy awakened the wind element, so he's finally not a light elementalist anymore!"
Zhang Xiaohou smiled憨厚ly and waved to Ling Tianyu and Mo Fan below the Awakening Platform.
"Well done, monkey!"
…………
"Earth element!"
"Water system!"
"Oh! A fire-type has appeared, and she's a girl!"
"Dude, I bet this girl's going to be a domestic abuser!"
Mo Fan commented.
The boy in front agreed wholeheartedly, adding, "Whoever marries her will be doomed!"
"Huh? What are you saying? Could you repeat that?"
"Repeating it..." The boy turned his head and trembled in fright. "Zhou Min!"
Mo Fan was startled and silently moved a few steps away, clearly giving the impression that "I don't know him well."
Zhou Min, with a half-smile on her face, said playfully, "Didn't you just say I was a violent maniac?"
"No, no, I didn't say that!" The boy was so frightened he couldn't speak clearly, and hurriedly pointed to Mo Fan beside him, "It was Mo Fan who said it first!"
"Bro, you tricked me!"
…………
In the end, Mo Fan and that boy clearly incurred Zhou Min's wrath. Ling Tianyu watched the drama unfold with great interest, remembering that Zhou Min would still be the class monitor. It seemed Mo Fan's days were numbered.
"Xiao Fan, please accept my condolences!" Ling Tianyu patted Mo Fan's shoulder in comfort.
"This guy has no brotherly loyalty; he actually betrayed me!" Mo Fan complained angrily.
"Number 49, Mo Fan!"
"Brother Fan, it's your turn!" Zhang Xiaohou kindly reminded him.
Mo Fan stepped onto the awakening platform with a nonchalant smile on his face, but his trembling arms betrayed his true mental state.
Also known as "smiling on the outside, cursing on the inside".
"Can I, a transmigrator, really awaken magic?"
Mo Fan's palm trembled incessantly as he placed it on the Awakening Stone.
"Keep steady, don't shake!"
Mo Fan took a deep breath, barely calming his restless heart, and closed his eyes to concentrate on experiencing the spiritual world.
At that very moment, a chorus of exclamations erupted from the next class: "Purple! Lightning type! Someone has awakened their Lightning type!"
In an instant, apart from Ling Tianyu who was staring intently at Mo Fan's awakening, everyone else, including the teachers and the homeroom teacher, had their eyes drawn to the lightning-elemental student next to them.
Mo Fan's awakening stone first emitted faint arcs of electricity, followed by intense and unrestrained crimson flames!
[Innate dual-elemental talent] or [dual-elemental talent per level], I remember that Mo Fan was already ranked fifth on the leaderboard just by showing his innate dual-elemental talent. If his true talent were revealed, he would probably head straight for the top spot.
"Born with dual elements, and the most violent lightning and fire elements at that!" Even though he had prepared himself mentally, Ling Tianyu couldn't help but feel envious. Lightning and fire were the romance of men. No matter how excellent the plant element was, its destructive power could never compare to lightning and fire.
"Plant-type and curse-type attributes are both control-oriented. As long as I cultivate diligently, my future will be no worse than those of the lightning and fire types! It's just that a large part of Mo Fan's future opportunities are useless to me!" Ling Tianyu couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Yan Ji, the divine bird with the same name, and the lightning-type soul seed, all kinds of opportunities made him envious, but he couldn't do anything about it without the lightning and fire types.
Later opportunities will have to be found by oneself. The world is vast and full of wonders, with countless untouched wildernesses and treasures hidden within. However, venturing into the wild ultimately requires one's own magical cultivation; being too ambitious will hinder one's growth.
Mo Fan was overjoyed. Lightning and fire elemental magic were invincible! Ice elemental magic, plant elemental magic—they could all crawl away from him!
Mo Fan opened his eyes, completely bewildered. "Huh? I've awakened an unprecedented dual-elemental power, a brutal combination of thunder and fire, and nobody's even come to admire it?"
"Mo Fan, come down. Someone over there has awakened the Thunder element." Ling Tianyu walked to the front of the awakening platform and explained to Mo Fan.
"Mere lightning element? This great one is..." Mo Fan paused, staring intently at Ling Tianyu, and said, "You saw everything?"
"I saw it. You're not going to kill me, are you?" Ling Tianyu felt a little uneasy under Mo Fan's eager gaze and asked back.
"How could that be? It's just a matter of making a deal..." Mo Fan jumped off the awakening platform, hooked his arm around Ling Tianyu's neck, and said earnestly, "This secret is known to you, me, heaven, and earth, how about it?"
"Of course, don't you know who I am?" Ling Tianyu said, disdainfully pushing his arm away.
"I really don't know..." Mo Fan thought helplessly, but he couldn't say it outright. Damn it, why didn't the original owner leave me any memories? Aren't all the protagonists in transmigration novels supposed to have memories of their predecessors? Why am I the only one who's special?
