"Bell!"
Cheng Xiao's pupils widened. He hadn't expected that just after breaking through to Middle-Rank, he would awaken the second Corps Commander.
Of course, Bell's current strength was only War General Level, the same as Yegret, and not overly exaggerated.
"King, the power system of this world seems... to have a lot more compared to the world we were originally in," Bell said.
Bell could keenly sense mages with mana in their bodies, as well as powerful demons.
Just a subconscious scan revealed many humans with magic power within the human Safe Zone.
This didn't exist in the world Bell was originally from.
"Each plane has different system powers, Bell. You must learn to adapt to the power of this world to better assist the King," Yegret reminded him.
"Understood. I will study diligently," Bell said seriously.
"Study what? Uh, you don't really need to," Cheng Xiao said awkwardly. He hadn't studied much himself.
"Cheng Xiao Gege!"
Ye Xin Xia's sweet voice came from outside the room door.
"Ya ya??" Bell let out two strange cries and looked at the King.
Cheng Xiao nodded. Bell understood and gently pressed down the doorknob.
"Cheng Xiao Gege, you suddenly have an ant?" Ye Xin Xia's bright, clear eyes curiously examined Bell.
Cheng Xiao's Undead soldiers sometimes appeared at home, and Ye Xin Xia was already used to it.
But this ant, she was sure, was the first time she had seen it.
"Are you looking for me?" Cheng Xiao got out of bed and walked in front of Ye Xin Xia.
"I felt Cheng Xiao Gege's aura become stronger, so I came to take a look. Cheng Xiao Gege, you couldn't have broken through to Middle-Rank, could you?" Ye Xin Xia asked.
"Isn't that obvious?" Cheng Xiao rubbed her head:
"In a few more days, it will be the registration date for Mingzhu Academy. Of course, I have to prepare well."
"With Cheng Xiao Gege's strength, even if you hadn't broken through to Middle-Rank, Mingzhu Academy wouldn't bear to not accept you," Ye Xin Xia said with a smile.
"Oh right, Cheng Xiao Gege, what Element are you going to awaken at Middle-Rank?"
"Awaken what Element?"
Cheng Xiao was startled. This question stumped him.
Actually, with the power of the Shadow Monarch, it didn't matter whether Cheng Xiao awakened anything else later on.
If he were to awaken another Element, he really didn't have any good ideas.
"Random... I guess," Cheng Xiao glanced out the window:
"It's getting late. Let's make an appointment today and go awaken tomorrow."
"Cheng Xiao Gege, sleep with me again tonight," Ye Xin Xia said sweetly.
"What's the reason today?"
"No reason, I just purely want to sleep with Cheng Xiao Gege."
"..."
Cheng Xiao was speechless. She wasn't even looking for an excuse anymore, just saying it openly.
Xin Xia, ah Xin Xia, do you know that in a few days you'll be an adult? Cheng Xiao muttered inwardly, but in the end, he still agreed.
This past year, Ye Xin Xia would find all sorts of reasons to share a bed with him.
It ended up like this, where she didn't even bother finding a reason anymore.
There was nothing he could do. Who told him to spoil her like this? Now, he could only continue to spoil her...
"The current situation between the King and this little girl is very much like a plot from a youth romance drama. Although I don't understand what love is, I still feel pleased for the King," Bell said.
Yegret squinted at it:
"Bell, there's a reason why the King told you to watch fewer TV dramas."
Bell: "..."
......
The next day, after Cheng Xiao finished breakfast, he prepared to go out and awaken.
But before that, Cheng Xiao specifically stayed home for a while to study his new skills.
After breaking through to Middle-Rank, Cheng Xiao mastered the ability to hide Shadow Soldiers in others' shadows.
The first test subject was naturally Ye Xin Xia.
Cheng Xiao hid ten Shadow Demon Wolves in Ye Xin Xia's shadow. He could view Ye Xin Xia's perspective anytime, anywhere, and know her situation.
If Ye Xin Xia encountered danger, the Shadow Soldiers would also transmit the message to his mind immediately.
Unfortunately, Cheng Xiao hadn't mastered the Shadow Swap skill yet.
If he could master Shadow Swap, everything would be much more convenient.
Mingzhu Mage Tower.
"You're here!" Mu Nujiao smiled when she saw Cheng Xiao arrive.
"Have you been waiting long?" Cheng Xiao asked.
Beside Mu Nujiao was another girl with an extremely exaggerated chest size, lively and cute, who would bounce for a long time with just a few steps.
"Yeah, when she heard you were going to awaken, Mu Nujiao was extremely happy and insisted on coming early to wait. She's been waiting for over half an hour," Ai Tutu said.
"Ai Tutu!" Mu Nujiao glared at Ai Tutu, then smiled at Cheng Xiao:
"Don't listen to her nonsense. We just arrived not long ago."
Cheng Xiao smiled and didn't dwell on the issue:
"Let's go in quickly."
"Okay."
Mu Nujiao walked ahead to lead the way. She was quite familiar with the Mingzhu Mage Tower.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have specifically waited here for Cheng Xiao to act as a 'guide'.
"Are you sure you don't need a guiding stone?" Mu Nujiao asked this question, which she had asked many times before, again.
"No need," Cheng Xiao replied as before.
For Cheng Xiao, who possessed the inheritance of the Shadow Monarch, it didn't matter what Element he awakened...
Mu Nujiao was acquainted with the awakening person at the Mingzhu Mage Tower. When they heard it was Mu Nujiao's friend, they immediately replaced the awakening stone with the purest one.
An awakening stone develops impure energy after being used many times. Without a guiding stone, this impure energy might affect the awakened magic Element.
However, the purest, unused awakening stone wouldn't have this problem.
Cheng Xiao stood in front of the awakening platform, took a deep breath, and placed his hand on it.
"It's Space Element!" The awakening person, Xiao Mian, said in surprise.
The light from the awakening stone wasn't strong, but those with cultivation could vaguely detect the silver light flickering in the center of the awakening stone.
"Space Element!"
Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu both widened their beautiful eyes.
Space Element is dimensional magic, and only High-Level Mages have a chance to awaken it!
Generally, awakening Space Element at the Primary or Middle-Rank means either strong talent or strong mental power.
He hadn't expected Cheng Xiao to awaken Space Element at Middle-Rank.
The Primary-Rank Undead Element was already invincible enough, and now at Middle-Rank, he also got a Space Element that could attack and defend.
The hardest thing to accept was that this was awakened randomly by Cheng Xiao...
At this moment, Cheng Xiao also slowly opened his eyes. A trace of silver light flashed in his dark and deep pupils.
And, a hint of chaotic light!
Cheng Xiao's mouth curved slightly upward.
It was true that he had awakened Space Element, but besides Space Element, there was also Chaos Element!
The situation with Space Element and Chaos Element was the same as with Shadow Element and Undead Element; both Elements shared one star system.
What he awakened at Middle-Rank, to be precise, was the Dimensional Symbiotic Twin Elements.
The awakening person, Xiao Mian, couldn't help but say:
"Mu Nujiao, your friend's luck is too good. So many people at High-Level want to awaken Space Element but don't succeed."
"But he's good. Not only did he awaken it at Middle-Rank, but he did it without a guiding stone!"
