49: Learn magic

Shen Nanzhi looked at Wu Hao's sinister eyes, and terrifying memories filled her mind, her voice instantly becoming so soft it was almost inaudible: "I... I..."

Before Shen Nanzhi could speak.

Zhang Ye drew his military knife and placed it directly on Wu Hao's neck.

"In front of me, you still dare to threaten others! With my old temper, I would have crippled you long ago! Seeing that we are all Huaxia people, I'll give you a piece of advice: tuck your tail between your legs and get lost, otherwise, I'll make you spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair."

Wu Hao's cowardly nature once again showed itself: "Why so serious? I was just joking. I'm a very reasonable person, and I won't bother with you. I am magnanimous!"

With that, he quickly tucked his tail between his legs and left, afraid that Zhang Ye would chop him.

Chen Xu comforted her: "Shen Nanzhi, don't be afraid, he's gone. Answer me, did he bully you?"

Shen Nanzhi shook her head: "No, I... I can help you learn magic, but don't ask about anything else."

With Chen Xu's intelligence, he guessed that something must have happened.

But he didn't dare to think in that direction; at least, the most important thing now was to deal with the upcoming crisis.

"Cheng Xue, move in and sleep with Shen Nanzhi. Take good care of her."

Cheng Xue nodded: "No problem."

Wu Hao watched everyone from a distance with a cold, sinister gaze: They're all ostracizing me! Targeting me! Just you wait! I'm almost successful!

Wu Hao continued to practice Taekwondo: front kicks, side kicks, roundhouse kicks, spinning kicks.

Combined with the faint magic power within his body, he felt his body gradually getting stronger... The night was as dark as ink, and the purple moonlight spilled down.

Shen Nanzhi stood in the center of the clearing, nervously clutching the corner of her clothes.

"I... I really don't know how to cast a Spell," her voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, tinged with a hint of grievance.

Chen Xu smiled gently: "It's okay, then dance."

Shen Nanzhi took a deep breath, gently closed her eyes, and slowly danced to the rhythm of the night wind.

Her personality was timid and cowardly, but when she danced, she became fluid and confident.

Gradually, the purple moonlight energy wrapped around her fingertips and hair, flowing with her dance like a living entity.

Chen Xu gazed at this scene, his eyes glinting with thought.

He caught a certain pattern but found it difficult to fully comprehend.

"You've worked hard," Chen Xu stepped forward and said earnestly, "You are very excellent and outstanding; you just lack a little confidence. Remember, in this world, only you can truly protect yourself."

Shen Nanzhi lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, not daring to meet his eyes: "Mm... I understand."

After returning to the wooden house, Chen Xu immediately immersed himself in studying the Tai Chi Qi Scripture.

His gaze was like lightning, skimming over the words on the pages ten lines at a time—

"Focus your Dantian, guide Qi to its Origin, the Qi will rise from the Huiyin point, ascend along the Governing Vessel to the Baihui point, then descend along the Conception Vessel and return to the Qi Sea..." In less than an hour, he had mastered the entire content of the book.

He closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into his memory palace.

Here, he split into two selves: one followed the Dao of Cultivation, inhaling and exhaling Spiritual Qi;

The other, like Harry Potter, held a staff and wore a magic robe, analyzing the essence of magic.

Spiritual Qi is elemental magic power!

The Dantian Qi Sea is the elemental furnace!

The Eight Extraordinary Meridians are also elemental channels!

Magic generally requires chanting, the essence of which is to achieve a frequency match with the elements.

Cultivation doesn't need to be so troublesome, because Cultivation emphasizes that words become Law.

When first learning, it's certainly not possible to make words become Law.

Therefore, Cultivators would use runes, Talismans, hand seals, Magical Artifacts, etc., to achieve the effect of casting Spells.

Chen Xu sat cross-legged, fine beads of sweat seeping from his forehead.

His consciousness was completely immersed in the perception of elemental energy, with blue elemental particles floating around him like tiny stars, slowly flowing with the rhythm of his breathing.

Chen Xu keenly sensed the unique oscillation frequency of these charged particles.

He changed "Qi sinking into the Dantian" in the Tai Chi Qi Scripture to "Magic Core Condensation."

"Heavenly Cycle" was adjusted to "Elemental Circuit."

"Breathing and regulating" was transformed into "Frequency Resonance."

With the improved magic incantation, the magic elements began to gather in an orderly fashion.

Suddenly!

Chen Xu's entire body erupted with dazzling blue light.

The thunder core stored in his Qi Sea began to rotate autonomously, continuously absorbing external elements.

Electric arcs uncontrollably burst from his fingertips, scorching the wooden floor, and a ball of blue lightning was flickering in his palm, its violent energy containing astonishing destructive power.

A smile spread across Chen Xu's lips—he had succeeded! And what he had Awakened was the lightning element, which Ranks among the top in terms of offensive power!

In the magic world, everyone has different affinities for different elements.

For example, Shen Nanzhi has an affinity for moonlight.

Orcs have an affinity for flesh and blood elements.

Dwarves have an affinity for metal elements.

Of course, there are also Geniuses who might have dual elements, or even triple elements.

Although Chen Xu was a Genius, without the divine book Tai Chi Qi Scripture, he could not have succeeded.

For the next week!

Chen Xu immersed himself in his sea of magic, and soon achieved a Breakthrough, reaching the level of a Beginner Magician.

In the magic world, the Ranks are as follows:

Magic Apprentice (Qi Refining) → Beginner Magician [Construct Magic Core] (Foundation Establishment) → High-Level Magician [Control Complex Magic] (Golden Core) → Great Mage [Soul Resonance, Unlock High-Tier Magic] (Nascent Soul) → Magister [Awakening Origin] (Soul Transformation) → Grand Magister [Multi-system Fusion] (Mahayana) → Legendary Mage [Master Forbidden Spells] (Undergoing Tribulation) → Archmage [Awakening Law] (Ascension)

A Beginner Magician constructs their own magic core within their body, accumulates magic power, and possesses the ability to cast Elementary magic.

Chen Xu wanted to make further Breakthroughs but found it impossible.

It turned out that the book Tai Chi Qi Scripture was only the most basic Qi Refining Cultivation Technique; no matter how smart Chen Xu was, without a Cultivation Technique, he couldn't continue to Cultivate.

To achieve a Breakthrough, he needed to find Advanced magic books.

Chen Xu had Cheng Xue forge him a long spear; a foot longer, a foot stronger!

He didn't want to be just a ranged Magician; he hoped to Dual Cultivate in both close combat and ranged combat, to stand invincible.

At the same time, he also had Cheng Xue forge a moon blade for Shen Nanzhi, and engraved the moonlight runes recorded in the Tai Chi Qi Scripture on it.

This could unleash Shen Nanzhi's moonlight magic.

Under the moonlight, Chen Xu held Shen Nanzhi's hand, guiding her to feel the flow of magic power within her body.

"Magic is as natural as breathing. First, close your eyes and imagine the moon."

Shen Nanzhi closed her eyes and began to visualize the outline of the moon in her mind, feeling its radiance.

Chen Xu smiled: "Very good, next is the guidance. Following the breathing method of the Tai Chi Qi Scripture, maintain the frequency and guide the moonlight energy into the moon blade!"

"Then use magic power to quickly trace the runes on the weapon. This saves the time of magic chanting; it's like a copier, directly releasing the runes on the weapon!"

Shen Nanzhi was very smart; the moonlight energy filled the rune grooves, and the moon blade shimmered.

Ha ah!

With a delicate shout!

Shen Nanzhi swung her weapon forward, and a silver-white crescent-shaped energy burst from the tip of the blade, carving a three-meter-long crack in the ground. Shen Nanzhi's eyes widened in disbelief: "Is this really my power?"

Chen Xu gave a thumbs up: "That's right, this is your power. You are even more formidable than I imagined. Remember these four steps: visualization, guidance, inscription, and release. From now on, you will be the strongest moonlight Magician among us Transmigrators."

"Thank you!" Shen Nanzhi looked at Chen Xu, her face slightly flushed. Since childhood, she had practiced dancing under the pressure of her single mother, never receiving a single compliment.

She finally received recognition, and she secretly vowed to study magic diligently, protect everyone, and let everyone see her worth.

Waving goodbye to Chen Xu, Shen Nanzhi happily returned to the wooden house. Cheng Xue had gone to take a bath, so she was not there temporarily.

Suddenly, a cold voice resonated gloomily from the corner of the wooden house: "You're in a good mood, Shen Nanzhi!"

Wu Hao had actually been hiding in the room, waiting for Shen Nanzhi to return!
