Chapter 4 Mu Ningxue

After a few more days of classes, winter vacation came.

"You successfully completed a semester at Magic High School and entered the winter break. During the winter break, you decided..."

"Option 1. Practice Magic"

"Option 2. Happy winter vacation"

"Option 3. Kill the demon to liven up the party."

"Option 4. Apply for a job at the City Monster Hunting Team and become a hunter."

"Choose one." Xu Mu thought for a while and made his inner choice.

"You choose to practice magic during the winter vacation and obtain the item [Stardust Magical Artifact (Spiritual Level)]"

As soon as the system finished speaking, Xu Mu felt his pocket suddenly become heavy. He reached into his pocket and took out a pendant.

The Stardust magic weapon is a special soul-repairing magic weapon that has the effect of nourishing the spirit and helping the mage increase his practice time.

The quality of the magic weapon will have different benefits. A spiritual-grade stardust magic weapon can increase the training time by 40%, which is seven hours a day. Combined with the doubling of talent efficiency, one day of training is equivalent to three days of training for others.

“Not bad.” Xu Mu nodded in satisfaction. With the Stardust Magic Tool, he should be able to learn level 2 magic quickly. He said hello to Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou and the others, “I’m leaving now. Practice hard, Brother Linghuo.”

Brother Zero Fire!
This is the nickname given to Mo Fan by his classmates, because after a whole semester, Mo Fan still couldn't control the fire element at all, and he could be called the most useless magician in the history of Tianlan Magic School.

"piss off!"

Hearing Mo Fan's scolding, Xu Mu smiled and walked out of the school.

……

"Whoo~"

A sharp cold wind blew past, stinging my skin.

"It's so cold in winter. How about awakening the fire or ice element as the second element?" Xu Mu sneezed, shrank his body, and said jokingly.

Whether before or after the time travel, he was a person who was very afraid of the cold.

He is such a cold-fearing person that he was born twice in the south where there is no heating. I don’t know what sins he committed in his previous life.

"You have just awakened not long ago, and you are already considering awakening the second type of magic?"

A clear and pleasant voice came into Xu Mu's ears, which made him stunned for a moment, and then he looked up at the source of the voice.

In front of him, a girl with a unique temperament and cool and elegant demeanor stood quietly.

Her long silver-white hair fell to her waist like a waterfall. She was wearing the formal uniform of the Imperial Capital Academy. Her skin was as white as cream, and her eyes revealed an otherworldly indifference.

Her overall temperament is like a pine tree standing in the cold winter, tall and charming, appearing aloof and unique.

The person who came was the little princess of the Mu family - Mu Ningxue.

There are many things about Mu Ningxue's achievements. She is a magic legend in Bo City. She awakened her magic at the age of 14, learned how to cast magic in eight months, and was admitted to the Imperial Capital Academy as an exception at the age of 15.

He is also the most outstanding magical genius in the history of Bo City.

"Mu Ningxue?" Xu Mu's face showed a look of disbelief.

No, why is she here?

"Long time no see, Xu Mu." Mu Ningxue nodded slightly.

"Why did you go back to Bo City?" Xu Mu couldn't help but ask.

According to the plot, shouldn't Mu Ningxue come back for the magic exam next semester? Why did she return to Bo City early?

"I received a mission from the school, so I came back to visit when I passed by Bo City." Mu Ningxue said in a light tone.

She was on a mission to the academy and passed through Bo City on the way. Thinking that she had not been back here for a long time, she decided to stop by and take a look.

Unexpectedly, when she came back, she saw her childhood playmates muttering about what kind of magic to awaken the second series of magic.

Out of kindness, she advised Xu Mu not to aim too high and that keeping one's feet on the ground was the most important thing.

"I heard from the housekeeper that you have awakened the lightning element?" Mu Ningxue asked. "Mu He said that?" Xu Mu was stunned. Why did that bastard Mu He pay so much attention to him? Was he going to recruit him?
"Yes, there is also a natural talent for thunder." Xu Mu answered truthfully.

"Innate talent?" Mu Ningxue stared at him with slightly puzzled eyes.

"I'm a natural spiritual being just like you." Xu Mu shrugged, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

The fact that he was born with talent could not be concealed. At the awakening ceremony, so many people saw that the lightning element he awakened was different. This matter had already been known to the whole school.

He needed a reasonable explanation for the triple basic magic power. He definitely couldn't tell anyone about his talent as "Lord of Thunder", so he might as well just say that he had awakened a natural spirit seed.

Normal lightning is purple, but his lightning is purple-red. No one would doubt the truth of his claim that he is a natural spiritual being.

"Very good talent." Mu Ningxue praised.

As a natural spiritual awakener, she naturally knew how powerful this talent was.

It comes with a top-notch elemental spirit seed that can greatly enhance the power of magic.

Elemental spirit seeds are a rare treasure that can amplify the power of magic, allowing the original magic to exert more powerful power. The amplification rate of the spirit seeds is between 2 and 3 times.

There are more advanced soul seeds and heavenly seeds above them.

Elemental spirit seeds are expensive, even the inferior ones cost more than 20 million, and only after breaking through the intermediate level can one absorb the spirit seeds.

People like Mu Ningxue who are born with spiritual seeds are exceptions because they have spiritual seeds at the initial stage.

When possessing elemental spirits at the initial stage, the improvement in one's own strength is undoubtedly the greatest.

After a brief exchange with Mu Ningxue, Xu Mu noticed a girl in the Imperial Capital Academy uniform rushing towards them from a distance.

"Is that your classmate? She seems to have something urgent to talk to you about." Xu Mu pointed at the other person and motioned Mu Ningxue to turn around.

"Captain..." The girl hurried to Mu Ningxue's side and whispered in her ear.

Mu Ningxue's eyes moved slightly, and she nodded to Xu Mu, "I have something urgent to do here, let's talk next time."

"Okay, take care." Xu Mu nodded slightly, watched their figures gradually go away, and then returned home.

Meeting Mu Ningxue was just a small episode in my winter vacation life. Cultivation was the real goal.

……

……

The winter vacation is over in a blink of an eye and the new semester is here.

"Muzi, how is Xingzi's control going?" On the first day of school, the first thing Mo Fan did when he saw Xu Mu was to ask him about the Xingzi control stage.

During the winter vacation, Mo Fan was able to cast magic, which greatly boosted his confidence and made him believe that he was a genius. However, in order to confirm how powerful he was, he needed to know how Xu Mu, who was also awakening lightning magic, was progressing.

"I've already got six, and the last one will be here soon." Xu Mu concealed his strength as usual.

“That’s amazing!” Mo Fan was stunned when he heard that. He practiced for five months, ten hours a day, before he could cast magic.

Xu Mu already has six stars, but his cultivation is a little slower than his.

"Green Tea Man, what about you? How many stars do you have?" Mo Fan ran to Mu Bai again and asked seriously.

“Who are you calling a green tea man!” Mu Bai was still shocked by Xu Mu’s cultivation level, but when he heard Mo Fan call him a green tea man, he immediately exploded with anger.

Mo Fan is just as annoying as he was when he was a kid.

“Okay, okay, classmate Mu Bai, how many stars do you have?” Mo Fan quickly changed the topic.

"Ha! Five!" Mu Bai sneered and continued, "You don't control any of the fire stars, do you?"

"There will be a magic exam at the end of this semester. If you can't control even one star, you will be expelled from school."

Mu Bai was very confident when he said this. Currently, the one who controlled the most stars in the entire grade was Xu Mu with six stars, followed by him with five stars.

Even in the next class, Xu Zhaoting, who also awakened the thunder element, was only able to control the fifth star a few days ago.
