Second Awakening

Chapter 35 Second Awakening

The next day, Ling Tianyu headed to the Xuefeng Mountain Inn.

The soldiers and officers at the post station all knew Ling Tianyu, this exceptionally talented plant-type prodigy. Last summer, he single-handedly killed at least dozens of demons, including many servants at the advanced stage, demonstrating his terrifying strength.

"Hey, you finally decided to come? I haven't seen you in months, I've missed you terribly!" As soon as they met, Zhan Kong gave him a bear hug.

"Cough cough! Let go!" Ling Tianyu pushed Zhan Kong away and said irritably, "Don't I want to go to school? What's the point of staring at rough guys all day compared to admiring beautiful young women at school?"

"Hehe!" Zhan Kong chuckled awkwardly, then added, "Without you, this demon-hunting maniac, clearing out the monsters, our defensive pressure has increased considerably!"

"Alright, alright, let's put this aside for now. Where is your Awakening Room?" Ling Tianyu asked.

"Why are you saying this? Aren't you... wait, you don't mean..." Zhan Kong's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.

As the eldest son of the Zu family, he had seen all kinds of geniuses in his youth. His girlfriend was an exceptionally talented ice-type calamity victim, and he himself was a top genius.

As a world-renowned behemoth, the Zu family's strength is beyond doubt, with ample cultivation resources and a strong emphasis on cultivation itself. Yet, they are still no match for Ling Tianyu, who hails from a small southern city like Bocheng.

"I am but a humble one, only reaching the intermediate level of mage after a year and a half!" Ling Tianyu said with a slight Versailles-like expression.

"You call yourself 'lowly'? Then what about all my junior colleagues under me? They wouldn't even qualify as 'lowly'?"

Zhan Kong said irritably, his body language speaking volumes. Without any hesitation, he turned and led Ling Tianyu to the Awakening Room.

"Boss!" The two soldiers guarding the door of the awakening room saluted.

"Yes, let him go in and awaken!" Zhan Kong nodded with feigned authority and said to the two of them.

"Holy crap! It's him, that demon-hunting madman!" A soldier recognized Ling Tianyu's attire and exclaimed in shock.

"Really? Has he broken through to the intermediate level?"

The two soldiers whispered among themselves, their astonishment undisguised. Reaching the intermediate level at such a young age—were they, old mages still stuck at the beginner level, left with no chance?!

"Hurry up and go in. I want to see what kind of magic you, little monster, can awaken!"

Zhan Kong urged.

"What's the rush!"

In the Awakening Room, Ling Tianyu quickly walked to the star chart, where a crystal-clear stone was placed in the center.

Ling Tianyu felt uneasy, and impatiently placed his hands on the cold Awakening Stone, focusing his attention on the mental universe...

A familiar feeling washed over me again as a shooting star streaked across the universe, and a strange sensation welled up inside me.

In the Sea of ​​Spirit, emerald green occupies the center, while dark red sits to the side. In an easily overlooked corner, a small, silvery, transparent stardust emerges, emitting a mysterious fluctuation.

Space system!

Following behind was a patch of transparent stardust, with seven twinkling stars that Ling Tianyu almost missed.

This is…………

He caught a faint, almost imperceptible tremor in her heart, and his eyes lit up.

"Psychic magic? A perfect match for curse magic!"

With a sigh of relief, Ling Tianyu's tense heart gradually relaxed. Seeing that the Awakening Stone no longer reacted, he reluctantly let go.

"This awakening was truly unexpected. One white magic, one dimensional magic, so there wasn't a single elemental magic?"

Ling Tianyu couldn't help but think with a wicked twist, "Could it be that I have elemental antibodies?"

"How was it? What magic type did you awaken?"

As soon as Ling Tianyu came out, Zhan Kong asked impatiently, his eyes showing a childlike curiosity despite being the eldest.

"Curse type!" After some thought, Ling Tianyu decided to reveal the most useful curse type at the moment. He would keep the space and mind types hidden for the time being and cultivate them in secret until later, which would also avoid a lot of trouble.

He hadn't forgotten that the Black Vatican had been keeping a close eye on this place!

"Curse magic? Dark magic? How come all the magic you awakened is so unique, little monster? You awakened white magic at the beginner level, dark magic at the intermediate level, so is your next step to awaken dimensional magic?"

"Uh..." Ling Tianyu thought to himself, "You guessed half right. I did awaken dimensional magic, but I did awaken it at the intermediate level!"

"Boss Zhan Kong, our previous agreement still stands, right?"

"What agreement?" Zhan Kong feigned deafness, pulled out a communicator with one hand, and said in a pretentious manner, "Hello, hello, oh, there are Bone Spike Wolves appearing in the east. Okay, I'll be right there..."

"Don't try to distract me!" Ling Tianyu said indignantly, his seemingly slender arms holding Zhan Kong firmly like iron clamps.

"Alright, alright, the agreement will stand. I'll explain to the soldiers guarding the military headquarters later that your life and death are in the hands of fate, and your wealth and honor are determined by heaven!" Zhan Kong reluctantly compromised. It seems that the defensive pressure on his side will increase considerably from now on, as Ling Tianyu will be no longer operating outside the military headquarters.

After his intermediate awakening, Ling Tianyu focused all his attention on his newly awakened magic chain and had no intention of staying in the military. He set off directly home.

Ling Tianyu sat cross-legged on the bed, recalling the relevant information from both systems, combining the initial-level plants and the curse, and planning his later actions.

Like the Curse school, the Mind school directly targets the soul and spirit, with skills leaning towards support and control, while the Curse school leans towards destruction and annihilation. They are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, and only Mind and Light school mages can resist the Curse school's methods to some extent.

In a sense, the Mind Magic is even more overpowered than the Curse Magic. After all, the Curse Magic can be resisted with Light Magic, while skills like Mind Impact can only be countered by other Mind Magic users, except for special magical artifacts.

In the original story, Mo Fan possessed destructive magic and terrifying strength, but what he feared most was not a turtle-shell type of mage like Zhao Manyan, but rather a mage who mastered mind magic.

He usually suffers a defeat when he encounters a mental mage, and his victories are mostly due to the Mind-Concentrating Magic Artifact and the protection of his teammates.

The reputation of a mind mage as invincible in one-on-one combat is not just empty words. If you can't outrun your opponent, you're sure to suffer. A mental shock is enough to prevent any non-mind mage from casting a single spell!

If a mage's very defenses are restricted, what's the point of fighting? They might as well just admit defeat. Of course, for Ling Tianyu, this restriction is somewhat weak. Currently, his main means of attack are not only ranged magic, but he can also rely on his superior physical abilities for close combat.

As for magic, if I can't cast it, I won't. I can just use my physical body to instantly kill any enemy!

In melee combat at the same level, Ling Tianyu fears no demons.

The spatial magic system is also an outstanding magic system with excellent versatility. Essentially, it uses the mage's mental power to manipulate space, achieving a variety of effects such as attack and defense.

Firstly, the personal storage space offers a high degree of privacy for storing personal items, which is its everyday use.

Secondly, the initial stage of the space system, [Mind Control] and [Spatial Rhythm], when the individual's mental power is strong enough, are in no way inferior to the lightning and fire systems. This is enough to make up for Ling Tianyu's embarrassment of only being able to engage in close physical combat. This is his means of attack.

In addition, it has the spatial defense skill [Wall of Will] and the high-level movement skill [Instant Teleport], making it a perfect magic system.

In addition, the evolution of space systems in later stages has become more diverse, showing immense potential!

Of course, cultivating such a powerful magic system is not easy. I remember when Mo Fan first used the space system to fight against the Crimson Demon, he made quite a few jokes and it had almost no effect.

The main directions of spatial cultivation are twofold: one is to explore different attack patterns and increase skill proficiency, and the other is to strengthen one's mental state. Mental power is to space what the foundation is to a tall building, or water is to a tree; its importance is self-evident.

Of Ling Tianyu's four magic systems, three rely heavily on mental strength, making it the focus of his future cultivation.
