On the Grand Magic Training Field, the entire class saw Fang Yu surrounded by icy mist, while the radiance of the Space Element flashed for an instant before being quickly concealed, never exposed.
Seeing this, Fang Yu glanced around. His expression returned to calm, afraid that anything unusual might be discovered.
Revealing an Basic-tier dual element could even allow him to go a step further with this opportunity.
Entering a clan or a major power and obtaining vast resources was not impossible. But at the same time, it might attract the attention of dark forces.
As for that, Fang Yu preferred stability.
Not exposing it meant safety.
Develop steadily don't get reckless!
He wanted to live an ordinary life, then grow stronger little by little, without getting entangled in other matters.
Now that he had capital, he not only had to be stronger than those around him, but also stronger than that woman from last night.
The sweet dream of a gentle haven might come true. But it had to be taken step by step. For now, cultivation was the priority.
Before long, almost the entire class had completed their Awakening. As expected, Zhang Xiaohou awakened the Wind Element, the magic that controls the air and allows one to soar through the skies at the Advanced tier.
Last to go was Mo Fan. Fang Yu deliberately cast him a glance during the Awakening. Sure enough, violet lightning arcs leapt first, followed by surging flames.
Innate dual elements, Lightning and Fire.
However, this scene was concealed by the Lightning Element radiance of a boy next door named Xu Zhaoting, who awakened Lightning just a step ahead of Mo Fan.
The eyes of the entire school's teachers and students were fixed on Xu Zhaoting, who had awakened Lightning slightly before Mo Fan, coincidentally overlooking him.
"Lightning Element appeared? Damn, that's the luck of several lifetimes!"
"Wow, that purple is so cool!"
"Kill me now, why did I get Water Element? Why not Lightning? Don't stop me, I'm going to the rooftop!"
"Quit it, you won't die from the jump. There's a whole layer of Light Element corpses below."
"This Lightning student is about to dominate the entire field!"
The moment Lightning appeared, the entire venue erupted!
Fang Yu shook his head with a smile. Mo Fan's luck was absurd, he could even hide this. Truly worthy of being the protagonist.
On the Awakening platform, Mo Fan was ecstatic inside.
This is too awesome!
But he did not lose himself in pride. An ordinary teenager would probably rush to show off the Lightning Element he had just awakened. Such a perfect chance to show off would never be missed.
Mo Fan did not do that. Even heaven envies genius, let alone people.
He knew there were those in the Mu clan who held great hostility toward him. If he displayed innate dual elements, he would either have to submit or be eliminated.
He might possess peerless dual elements, but he was still too weak. He could be arrogant once he became stronger!
Just as he thought this, when he glanced around, he immediately sensed Fang Yu's gaze.
Because it was far too obvious.
Fang Yu was smiling at him, as if confessing his feelings to someone he admired.
Mo Fan froze slightly, and ten thousand grass-mud horses galloped through his mind. At the same time, big words appeared in his heart.
Exposed!
"Damn it, what now!" Mo Fan cursed crudely.
He couldn't even feel happy about this result.
On the other side, Instructor Xue Musheng reacted and looked at Mo Fan with delight. "Fire Element! A magic element second only to Lightning. Probably only a dozen or so people in the entire school have awakened it."
Mu Bai's face twisted. That reckless brat actually had such luck, awakening Fire Element. And judging by the vigor of those flames, his talent was extremely high.
After that, Mo Fan descended the steps with a gloomy mood. Ignoring the others, he walked up to Fang Yu, hooked an arm over his shoulder, and said.
"Let me introduce myself—Mo Fan, future Magic Venerable. If you want to curry favor, there's still time."
"And come with me. I'd like to ask you about something. I hope you cooperate, don't be ungrateful." Mo Fan smiled faintly. The little overlord of Bo City wasn't joking, surely he could handle you.
Looking at the young man, Fang Yu felt a pang in his liver.
"Fang Yu."
After introducing himself, Mo Fan pulled him to a corner.
"Classmate Fang, you didn't see anything, right?" Mo Fan clenched his fist.
Hearing Mo Fan's low whisper and seeing the movement of his hand, Fang Yu wanted to laugh inside.
He had no intention of exposing Mo Fan's innate dual elements. The greater Mo Fan's achievements, the happier he would be.
In the face of future disasters, the more people like this, the better. But faced with Mo Fan's arrogant attitude, Fang Yu decided to tease him and said calmly.
"What should you call me?"
Mo Fan: "…"
"Call me big brother?"
Mo Fan withdrew his threatening tone and hand at once, immediately changing his words. "Big brother!"
The corner of Fang Yu's mouth twitched. This level of shamelessness, truly the protagonist.
"Not enough. Call me dad!"
Fang Yu continued provoking him, yet Mo Fan replied without hesitation.
"Dad."
"You really are…" Fang Yu shook his head helplessly. Where did that world-dominating aura from just now go? It wilted so fast.
It seemed he had still underestimated just how thick-skinned Mo Fan was.
"Hehe." Mo Fan gave an awkward but polite smile. "Bro, I was just joking earlier. You know my situation, don't tell anyone."
"As long as you don't expose yourself, I won't tell anyone." Fang Yu didn't beat around the bush; he explained directly:
"Your talent is 'Lower-tier Dual Element.' From what I understand, this is a natural-born talent. There are historical precedents."
Fang Yu didn't reveal Mo Fan's secret that he could awaken dual elements at every tier. He treated it as if dual-element Awakening could only happen at Basic-tier.
"Natural-born talent?" Mo Fan looked puzzled; he didn't understand what that meant.
"Yes."
"Explain?" Mo Fan asked.
Having just crossed over, Fang Yu knew Mo Fan didn't understand this world well, and hadn't paid attention to magical knowledge. He could only explain:
"There are exceptions to everything."
"Some people in the world are born with extraordinary talent. Such natural-born talents can grant magic unique effects. There are many types of natural-born talent, and you are one of them."
"Currently, across all of China, known natural-born talents are even rarer than Super-tier magicians."
"I see." Mo Fan suddenly understood.
Those with natural-born talent were rarer than Super-tier magicians. Who would've thought the national treasure was himself? This made him even more determined to stay hidden.
"Do you remember who in Bo City was admitted early to the Imperial Academy?" Fang Yu suddenly asked, bringing up Mu Ningxue.
"Of course, I remember clearly." Mo Fan nodded.
Ever since eloping with the Mu family's little princess back then, he had never heard news of her.
But at that time, Mu Ningxue being admitted early to the Imperial Academy had caused a sensation.
Fang Yu glanced at Mo Fan: "Mu Ningxue not only awakened her magic by herself, but she also possesses a natural-born talent."
Hearing this, Mo Fan froze.
His originally arrogant attitude softened, and he muttered to himself: So the pure little princess from childhood was actually this strong.
Fang Yu then turned and walked away. After just a dozen steps, he disappeared from sight.
But the voice came again.
"Let's go. Time to return to the classroom for instructor-led magic training."
Mo Fan stopped thinking and hurried to follow. Why think so much? He wasn't lacking either.
As for Mu Ningxue awakening early, he'd just have to deal with that later.
After the Awakening, each class returned to instructor-led teaching.
After a short while, Fang Yu, under the guidance of Instructor Xue Musheng, began his first magic training session.
