"Good! Steward Edward, it's good that you have this intention. You should know that when your talent was measured initially, I knew it was very good, but I didn't expect it to be this good."
"You should know that if you have good talent, you must grasp it well. Our sect's patriarch had an epiphany within one day and directly broke through from the first layer of the Justice Magic to the ninth layer. Although your talent is good, it's not the best. Do you understand?" Gu Deacon brought up the story of the patriarch of our Sect.
"Understood!" When Edward heard this, he was shocked in his heart. This speed was even faster than a rocket! Of course, he couldn't catch up even if he galloped on a horse.
However, Edward also relaxed in his heart. Before, he was afraid that his cultivation progress was too fast and would be suspected. He even wanted to hide his cultivation level. Now, after hearing this, he felt much more relieved.
Three days later, Edward quietly broke through to the third layer of the Justice Magic by reading. Since Edward lived alone, naturally no one saw the terrifying speed of his improvement while reading.
However, as soon as the three days passed, Edward immediately stopped the meaningless reading. If he really wanted to gain his own understanding, there were a bunch of thoughts in Edward's mind. Trying to understand this abstruse Justice Magic was truly extremely difficult.
Edward has cultivated the Justice Magic to the fullness of the third layer, and his cultivation level is now on par with Senior Brother Que Yang from the neighboring area. However, he also discovered that the fourth layer of the Justice Magic requires three thousand magic stones, which is rather a lot!
Edward currently has only a few dozen low-grade magic stones in his hand. To collect three thousand magic stones, it will take at least half a year!
Time passed slowly, and Edward still went his own way.
When Gu Deacon learned that Edward had only read for three days and then returned to his original way of doing things, he was extremely angry: "It's such a pity for this talent. Don't tell me about this matter anymore in the future!"
Que Yang also heard about it and even reported to Gu Deacon in person. As a result, when he learned that even personal persuasion was unsuccessful, he didn't care anymore.
However, when he learned that Edward had broken through to the fullness of the second layer of the Justice Magic in three months, his mouth opened wide. You should know that it took him a full ten-plus years to break through from the first layer to the fullness of the second layer.
What does it mean to break through to the fullness of the second layer of the Justice Magic in three months? It means the talent directly crushes his, Que Yang's.
"When I succeed in breaking through, I'll take back the students of Classroom No. 20 to prevent Junior Brother Edward from hindering the cultivation of the Justice Magic of the students in the classroom!" Que Yang studies hard every day. After so many years, he is just one step away from breaking through.
Just studying for a breakthrough cannot be interrupted. But the other two fellow disciples under Gu Deacon both needed to cultivate and were not willing to watch Classroom No. 20 for him. Helplessly, he recruited a new person. The person agreed but the way of doing things really displeased Que Yang.
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
Edward successfully broke through to the fullness of the third layer of the Justice Magic. Breaking through to the fourth layer of the Justice Magic is still far away. So he wants to cultivate some spells. But to cultivate spells, he still has to exchange for them from Gu Deacon using magic stones.
Helplessly, Edward could only wait for a month. This month, his luck was good and he got more than five hundred magic stones.
Edward immediately found Gu Deacon.
"You want to buy spells? I have the three most practical spells of the Justice Magic Sect here: Riding the Clouds and Fog, Immunity to All Evil, and Vast and Mighty."
"They are divided into three types of spells: flight, defense, and attack. Each costs five hundred magic stones." When Edward heard this, he gave a wry smile. He only had fifty magic stones in his hand.
"Gu Deacon, I'll choose the spell of Immunity to All Evil!" Edward said.
"OK!" Gu Deacon nodded. He didn't ask if Edward's cultivation level had improved either. After all, in his eyes, in a month's time, no matter how good the talent was, it was impossible to break through the third layer of the Justice Magic without cultivating.
"Gu Deacon, I wonder if you can teach me the other two spells as well. In another two months, these one thousand magic stones will definitely be presented!" Edward thought for a moment and asked.
"Oh? Edward, these spells aren't that easy to cultivate. Cultivating three at the same time is not as good as specializing in one. Of course, spells are just minor details. The Justice Magic is the main trunk. I hope you cultivate well!" Gu Deacon nodded and patted Edward's shoulder and said.
"Yes! Gu Deacon, I have been taught!" Edward was very humble and polite, which was also the reason why Gu Deacon knew that Edward did not do proper things but could still tolerate him.
It seemed that he didn't want to see Edward in the next two months, or maybe Gu Deacon was in a good mood and said, "I can agree to this matter for you. But when the three secret manuals are returned in two months, the magic stones must be in place!"
"Yes!" Edward nodded and excitedly took the three secret manuals.
Although there were no magic stones to simplify the three spells, he just tried the images that appeared in his mind and almost fell silent. Each spell required a full ten thousand low-grade magic stones to be successfully simplified.
If it really required so many magic stones, he might have broken through to the fifth layer of the Justice Magic!
"Accumulate them slowly!" Edward sighed in his heart. "Thank you, Gu Ancient!"
After expressing his gratitude, Edward slowly retreated. In these two months, he had to spend half of his time cultivating these spells well. With his powerful soul, it was somewhat difficult to comprehend and practice the Justice Magic proficiently, but as for cultivating these spells, not to mention achieving perfection, it wouldn't be a problem to reach a minor accomplishment in a few months with practice!
Time passed slowly, and two months passed in the blink of an eye. Edward also paid back the spirit stones to Gu Deacon, and the three basic spells of the Justice Magic, namely Riding the Clouds and Fog, Immunity to All Evil, and Vast and Mighty, were all cultivated to the minor accomplishment level.
The Justice Magic in Edward surged within his body, and a wisp of cyan cloud magic emerged beneath his feet and carried him up into the sky.
"The speed isn't very fast, but it's much faster than walking. This feeling of flying is so great. There's a feeling of becoming an immortal." Edward secretly sighed in his heart.
"Immunity to All Evil!" Edward's Justice Magic surged and transformed into a protective barrier around his body.
"The third offensive spell can't be tested. It can only be known when encountering a situation in the future!"
The third offensive spell is Vast and Mighty, which is a kind of group attack spell. It uses a large amount of Justice Magic in the body to burst out instantly and repel the attackers around.
Edward also couldn't find anyone to try it. Senior Brother Que Yang is in seclusion for reading and has no time to play with spells with him.
Edward could only practice the spells by himself. In the sixth month, Edward had five hundred magic stones. In the seventh month, Edward had over a thousand magic stones.
In the eighth month, Gu Deacon found Edward and said, "You are in charge of the No. 27 Academy. I hope you manage it well!"
"Thank you, Gu Deacon!" Edward's eyes shone brightly. Two academies, wouldn't that mean he could obtain double the magic stones?
Thinking of this, Edward was a little excited. One thousand magic stones a month, wouldn't it mean that in just two more months, he could have three thousand magic stones?
