Chapter 24 Spells
Chapter 24 Spells
"Alright students, today is an outdoor class. We're going to Pingdingshan to test our cultivation results."
Led by their homeroom teacher Chang'e, the students of Class 1 of the Celestial Immortals followed behind her and flew towards Pingdingshan.
More than a month has passed, and the students of Shenxiang have already seen initial results in their cultivation. At least 99% of the students in the Celestial Immortal Class have broken through to the first level of Jade Void.
At this moment, one by one, following the flying techniques taught by Teacher Chang'e, they all took to the air.
Among the crowd, only Yan Xiaoqi had a long face. He was the last one percent, the only one in the class who had not yet learned to fly. So far, Yan Xiaoqi was still at the Jade Void Level 0.
"Waaaaah~ Good bro, give me a hand!"
Seeing that everyone else had run away, Yan Xiaoqi grabbed Xiao Hu's leg and hugged her leg tightly, his face full of longing.
"Xiaoqi, you also need to work harder on your training." Cui Shao looked helpless.
After Yan Xiaoqi pleaded, everyone pulled him out of the water. What else could they do but leave him to fend for himself?
Chen Xiaohu and Cui Shao grabbed Yan Xiaoqi from both sides and flew up with him.
Fang Xiu floated beside the three of them, using the wind to increase their speed, and soon caught up with the main group ahead.
Today's lesson was an outdoor combat class. Xiao Hu next to me was already eager to try it out. Besides eating, Xiao Hu's favorite thing is fighting.
The group began to spar according to Chang'e's group assignments, while Fang Xiu was called aside separately.
Others may not know, but Chang'e knows perfectly well that with Fang Xiu's late-stage Jade Void Realm strength, if a real fight broke out, he could simply stand still. The other students couldn't even touch Fang Xiu, not to mention that Fang Xiu's true form is a strange beast, whose combat power is already among the top of its class.
Being called aside and not participating was exactly what Fang Xiu wanted. What Fang Xiu lacked most right now was magic, not the ordinary little spells taught by Chang'e, but spells that could fully unleash his strength.
If magical power is a cultivator's body, and the more abundant the magical power, the stronger the body, then magic is the method of maximizing the performance of this body.
The world of the Divine Rankings has a wide variety of spells, which can be described as all-encompassing. Generally speaking, the levels of spells are divided into four levels: unranked, primary, intermediate, and advanced.
There are even more advanced spells, but those spells require specific techniques to be used, such as the "Great Slaughtering Gods Technique" of the Eastern Yi King.
At first, the Divine Academy taught its students some simple, low-level spells. These spells did not have strong combat abilities, but they greatly helped improve the quality of life. Moreover, they were not difficult to learn; anyone with magical power could learn them.
Normally, basic spells are used by cultivators in the Jade Void stage, but often cultivators will practice spells beyond their level, since higher-level spells are definitely more powerful than lower-level spells.
Furthermore, there were initially no restrictions on the cultivation of magic in this world, meaning that a person could cultivate any kind of magic, without any limitations on the type.
Generally, people choose the spell that best suits them to cultivate, because it's better to try to do too much at once. For example, Cui Shao's mental spell, Xiao Hu's fire spell, or Long Yuan's ice spell.
However, to unleash the true power of a spell, one must rely on cultivation level. A Jade Void cultivator practicing intermediate spells may not even be as powerful as a Pure Void cultivator using basic spells.
If they are of the same level, then it depends on whose spells are more advanced, more powerful, and whose secret arts are stronger!
This point was vividly demonstrated in the original storyline, where Liao Bai, a Divine Guard of the ninth level of Jade Void, beat up Cui Shao and his companions as easily as beating up children.
Even when Long Yuan unleashed his ultimate move, the forbidden Dragon Roar, he only managed to injure his opponent, which speaks volumes.
Fang Xiu currently knows almost no spells other than those he learned at the Divine Academy over the past month. You should know that Fang Xiu now has four tails and possesses the power of four different attributes: wind, thunder, ice, and fire. However, he does not have any spells that can perfectly utilize his power.
It's like possessing a treasure trove full of gold, but not having the key to open it—what a tragedy!
What Fang Xiu can do now is release the energy of four different attributes, but compared to real spells, it is not only laborious but also less powerful.
Therefore, the most important thing right now is to learn new spells.
"A new spell?"
Hearing Fang Xiu's words, Chang'e's expression didn't change. Having witnessed Fang Xiu's advancement last night, she could understand him. With Fang Xiu's strength, she could understand his desire to learn new spells, but...
Chang'e frowned, then quickly relaxed. With Fang Xiu's strength, learning some of the spells he would need to learn later wouldn't be a problem.
After friendly discussions, Fang Xiu successfully obtained four spells from his homeroom teacher, Chang'e.
Wind Attribute Basic Spell: Hurricane Spell
Lightning Attribute Basic Spell: Thunderclap Spell
Ice Attribute Basic Spell: Nether Sea Crystal Array
Fire Attribute Basic Spell: Flame Wave
It wasn't that Fang Xiu didn't want to learn more advanced magic, but that Chang'e didn't share his request. Fang Xiu still remembered her disapproving expression and words at the time.
"Young Fang Xiu, although you have already reached the late stage of Jade Void Realm, you must not be too ambitious. It would be too dangerous for you to directly cultivate overly advanced spells."
A look of sadness appeared on Chang'e's face.
"There was once a student with exceptional talent who suffered a backlash after failing to forcibly cultivate advanced magic."
According to Chang'e, just like cultivation requires a gradual approach, so too does the cultivation of spells. The four spells she recommended to Fang Xiu were all basic spells, but they were also essential prerequisites for many advanced spells. After mastering them, one could seamlessly transition to even more advanced spells.
Of course, Chang'e also made it clear that as long as Fang Xiu could fully master the four spells, he could learn more advanced spells from her at any time.
Since that's the case, what else is there to say? Of course, let's start practicing!
To reiterate, Fang Xiu is a genius. The Lu Wu bloodline itself possesses exceptional talent, and the superposition of multiple worlds further enhances Fang Xiu's talent.
I acquired the four spells in the morning, and by the afternoon I had mastered the basics of all four.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Fang Xiu himself is particularly compatible with these four spells.
"Nether Sea Mystic Ice Formation!"
Fine snowflakes drifted down from the sky, and a beam of pale blue light shot out, instantly turning the trees in front of Fang Xiu into a silvery white, frozen solid.
Fang Xiu could have achieved the same thing before, but it would have required at least three times the mana he had now. Moreover, this was only the initial level of power; as his cultivation progressed, the power of the spell would increase.
After rubbing his fingertips together, Fang Xiu reached out again, this time with fire.
"Flame Wave!"
The enormous pillar of fire engulfed the frozen forest. But that wasn't all; a strong wind followed, fanning the flames and causing them to sway, creating a fiery tornado hanging upside down.
"Hurricane Curse!"
Finally, there's the "Thunderbolt Spell!"
Fang Xiu crossed his arms in front of his chest, and with a flick of his nimble tail, a bolt of lightning shot out from his tail, instantly striking the fire tornado.
The burst of lightning disrupted the balance of the fire tornado, causing it to collapse before it was even halfway up.
An invisible barrier stood in front of Fang Xiu, blocking all attacks, while Fang Xiu looked at his own tail.
"As expected, you can cast spells with your tail."
He imagined himself having four tails, and possibly more later, and then all those tails would unleash a spell together.
What a super turret! Just thinking about it is intriguing.
