บท 82: Chapter 82: Dual-Element High Mage

"Boom!!!"

As a surge of blue-green flames erupted into the sky, Mo Fan successfully ascended from a mid-tier to a high-tier mage!

The entire fire element star river flowed within Mo Fan's mental world, now far more grand and magnificent compared to the previous, more restrained fire element star cloud. Starry light connected in beautiful streams, flowing elegantly in his vast mental universe.

Within the star river, 343 stars shone. Among them, 49 were much brighter and more vibrant, clearly the stars Mo Fan had already strengthened. The remaining 294 stars were still in their early stages, emitting only a faint glow.

Opening his eyes, Mo Fan noticed a faint image of a constellation floating within the fiery aura surrounding him. This constellation was formed by the 343 stars, fully connected into a complete diagram. It indicated that Mo Fan could now follow this pattern to link the stars and form a star constellation. When successfully summoned, it would unleash the high-tier destructive spell—Heavenly Flame Funeral.

Of course, the constellation only appeared for an instant before fading away. However, from now on, Mo Fan was no longer a mid-tier mage—he was now a high-tier mage!

Mo Fan extended his hand, and a small flame casually ignited. Upon reaching the high-tier, magic was no longer limited by rigid star maps or star trajectories. A mage could now manipulate magic freely with their thoughts. However, this ability still required a lot of practice to master.

Having completed his breakthrough, Mo Fan didn't leave right away. He still had time left to remain in the Three Step Tower, and although it didn't offer much additional benefit to high-tier mages, it was still more comfortable than being outside. After a hard-fought battle, the expanding sensation of his star cloud and star river within the tower was incredibly satisfying. Unfortunately, the Three Step Tower wasn't his to use indefinitely.

After his breakthrough Principal Xiao, arranged for Mo Fan to undergo his next magical awakening. Though it was possible to experience spontaneous awakenings in extreme situations, Mo Fan wasn't willing to wait for that. Instead, he opted for an official awakening at the Magic Association, once again seeking the guidance of Master Guo, recommended by Tang Yue.

To Guo's surprise, he found himself guiding Mo Fan through another awakening so soon after their last session! The rate at which Mo Fan was advancing left the master stunned.

Without much trouble, Mo Fan successfully awakened his next element: the Space Element. But what truly caught him off guard was the appearance of another element right afterward—Light! He had expected it to be something like Chaos or Earth, but to his surprise, it was Light.

The moment of confusion passed quickly. With so many elements under his control, gaining an additional one didn't seem like a bad thing, even if it wasn't a typical choice. After all, this Light element was essentially a bonus—one that came with the high-tier awakening rather than a low-tier one, so it was acceptable.

After completing the magical awakening, Mo Fan left the Oriental Pearl Mage Tower. The new semester began, and Mo Fan spent most of his time at the school refining his control over his stars. Occasionally, he would drop by to offer some blood to Liu Xian and Liu Ru.

Thanks to the regular supply of his blood and his own growing strength, the two sisters had reached the Commander level in no time. While ordinary bloodline cultivators would take decades or centuries to advance, these sisters skipped the lengthy process thanks to Mo Fan's potent blood supply. They had also received some of Mo Fan's essence during the summer, speeding up their growth even further.

Now commanding most of the vampires in Shanghai, the sisters found themselves making more money than they knew what to do with. Since they didn't need much for themselves, they used the funds to buy cultivation resources for Mo Fan.

Mo Fan hadn't expected them to be so financially resourceful. Their ability to make money was impressive! His investment in them had definitely paid off.

Before long, a month passed. With the resources the sisters brought him, Mo Fan was able to convert everything into cultivation supplies and a magical tool that helped him control his stars. As a result, both his Space and Light elements advanced to the mid-tier.

Meanwhile, his small companion, the Little Loach, continued to gather stardust, making it easier for Mo Fan to cultivate his star constellations.

Mo Fan discovered that his Light element was different from others. It wasn't just a simple illumination but had a hard, metallic quality. In fact, his light magic was more akin to solid objects than beams of light, almost like building blocks.

While most Light element spells were defensive, Mo Fan realized that his light magic had offensive potential. The glow his spells emitted was akin to the effect of a spiritual seed enhancement.

His mid-tier Light magic could not only form shields but also weapons like swords and spears, delivering devastating attacks. Even his Flame Wolf found it hard to withstand their power.

Three more months passed, and another semester came to a close. Besides fulfilling a few bounties for the Clear Sky Hunter Agency, Mo Fan focused entirely on training. After three months of hard work, his Lightning element finally broke through to the high-tier.

With his focus on mastering the Fire element star constellations, his Space and Light elements remained at the first level of the mid-tier. He had to put these elements aside for now, as even with his magical tools, his control couldn't keep up with his rapid advancement.

During this period, Mo Fan's Flame Wolf was also nearing its next evolution. Unfortunately, without a high-tier Summoning Element, Mo Fan couldn't assist its evolution, so it had to be postponed.

In Hangzhou, by West Lake, inside Tang Yue's apartment…

After an intense session of passion, Mo Fan lay in Tang Yue's arms, looking up at her. "Teacher Tang Yue, can you help me get a few copies of the Lightning Star Constellation books?"

Tang Yue paused, then sat up abruptly, her expression stunned as she looked down at him. "What did you just say?"

"I need the Lightning Star Constellation books." Mo Fan repeated.

With his recent power boost, Mo Fan planned to head back into the wild. He also wanted to help his friend Zhang Xiaohou secure a spiritual seed, especially after Xiaohou had been so understanding when Mo Fan claimed the Winged Blue Wolf's soul. Xiaohou had said nothing, but Mo Fan knew he owed him.

Mo Fan had considered simply buying a spirit seed for his friend since he could now easily earn the money from a few bounty missions. However, Zhang Xiaohou had refused, so Mo Fan decided to help him retrieve one by defeating a Skullcap Giant Serpent and securing the Earth spirit seed for him.

As for Lingling, she didn't require much money. As long as her snack and milk tea budget was covered, she was happy, leaving Mo Fan with complete freedom over his finances.

At this point, Mo Fan was far from struggling financially!
