Chapter 1: The Birth of a Genius
Holy Demon Continent.
Magic Hall.
A bearded old Magician looked kindly at the green-haired youth in front of him.
"Xiao Ye, you can finally test your Innate Internal Spiritual Power! I've been waiting for this day for so long!"
Lin Ye is ten years old this year, marking his tenth year since transmigrating to the Holy Demon Continent. His external spiritual power has just reached its peak, making it the most suitable time to awaken his Innate Internal Spiritual Power.
You should know, the closer one's external spiritual power is to its peak, the easier it will be to cultivate internal spiritual power later on!
"Yes, Grandpa, I'm ready."
Lin Chen nodded, then led Lin Ye to a magic platform.
Lin Ye curiously examined the magic platform, discovering that it was entirely made of mithril, intricately carved with complex magic runes, clearly indicating its high-end nature!
However, what was most eye-catching was the crystal ball on the magic platform.
Made of an unknown material, it appeared crystal clear and exuded a rich, attribute-less magical aura!
"Our Magic Hall's testing method is different from the Knight Hall's, as we are not close-combatants but rather long-range support. So, all you need to do is place your hand on it, then sense the elements within the magic ball with your heart until you reach your limit, then open your eyes."
Lin Ye couldn't help but frown upon hearing this, then quickly nodded, indicating he understood, but he was muttering to himself.
"What a peculiar test. I thought I'd have to use a staff to cast a spell."
While thinking, Lin Ye approached the magic platform, then, following Lin Chen's words, slowly placed his hand on it.
It felt icy, very cold, and quite comfortable to the touch.
"Concentrate and sense!"
Suddenly, Lin Chen's serious voice rang out, immediately causing Lin Ye to focus his mind and begin earnestly sensing the elements within the magic ball.
The next second, the crystal-clear magic ball instantly became a riot of colors! Like a palette stained with paint, it was incredibly beautiful.
At the same time, a counter on the magic platform was ticking wildly!
"Ten, twenty, thirty, forty... seventy... eighty, ninety!"
Lin Chen watched this scene, his expression instantly becoming blank, as if he had encountered something incredible. His lips parted and closed, unable to speak for a long time.
Finally, the timer stopped at "ninety-two," and the magic ball's anomaly began to calm down.
"Hoo~ Hoo~"
Lin Ye subconsciously withdrew his hand, then pressed his somewhat dazed head. At this moment, he only felt his soul was extremely fatigued.
He needed to sleep!
However, fortunately, Lin Ye could still faintly feel various elements like wind, fire, water, earth, and light circling around him, like good friends concerned for a companion.
Generally, a Magician will only specialize in one or two types of magic cultivation. This is because every Magician's affinity for elements is different.
However, the Magic Temple produced a prodigy like Lin Ye!
Since his birth, all the elements in the world have been very close to him, as if they had known him in a previous life. Even the Vice Hall Master of the Magic Hall, Lin Chen, could only call it strange when he saw it.
Therefore, Lin Ye is the first human Magician to naturally have an affinity for all elements!
The first all-element Magician!
Initially, Lin Chen was worried that Lin Ye cultivating so many diverse magic skills would cause his cultivation progress to lag behind his peers.
However, Lin Chen's worries were unfounded, because a prodigy has a prodigy's cultivation talent!
Under these circumstances, Lin Ye managed to maintain a cultivation pace on par with those of the same rank, even showing signs of surpassing them!
By now, Lin Ye has already learned all first and second-tier elemental magic skills!
After resting, Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes, then saw Lin Chen looking at him with great excitement, almost clinging to him!
"Grandpa... what's wrong? Why are you so excited? Are my results very good?"
This series of actions almost made Lin Ye lose his confidence.
"Not just good..." Lin Chen coughed, realizing he had lost his composure.
"Ah?" Lin Ye hadn't yet had a chance to check his Innate Internal Spiritual Power, so he didn't know yet.
"It's excellent! Lin Ye, your Innate Internal Spiritual Power is ninety-two!"
Lin Chen shouted, then laughed as he paced back and forth in the great hall, trying to vent his exhilarating emotions.
"Ninety-two, ninety-two, ninety-two..."
Lin Chen repeated it dozens of times without stopping, then suddenly floated in front of Lin Ye, grabbed his shoulders, and said with fervor.
"With Innate Internal Spiritual Power of ninety-two, you are destined to become a Magic God!"
Lin Ye was also pleasantly surprised by this statement, and some of his usual unusual problems were explained.
Only such high Innate Internal Spiritual Power could possibly cause those problems.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for his own home, where furniture was often broken due to overflowing magic!
"Lin Ye, don't tell anyone about your Innate Internal Spiritual Power from now on! If anyone asks, just say eighty! Understand?" Lin Chen solemnly warned Lin Ye.
Lin Ye nodded seriously upon hearing this.
The Human Alliance is not monolithic; there are many demon spies within it! If they knew about Lin Ye's talent, it would surely invite slaughter!
After all, how can an un-grown genius deserve the name of genius?
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to alchemy. I still have a batch of pills to refine at home."
Seeing that Lin Chen had no further instructions for a long time, Lin Ye couldn't help but speak up.
"Go ahead. I think 'genius' is no longer enough to describe you. To be able to find time for alchemy while cultivating so many magic skills..."
"You truly are a prodigy!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Grandpa!"
Lin Ye waved with a smile, then turned to leave.
But the next second, Lin Ye's movements suddenly paused, as if he remembered something, and he turned to look at Lin Chen again.
"Grandpa, when are we going to Demon Extermination Pass again?"
Lin Chen was taken aback, then a helpless smile appeared on his face.
"What's wrong? Do you want to go to the Assassin Hall to sell your medicine again? Are you short on money?"
"That's just one reason."
Lin Ye chuckled. The second reason was for Cai'er.
Three years ago, when Lin Ye was seven, Lin Chen wanted to take him to Demon Extermination Pass to broaden his horizons.
However, as Lin Ye stepped off the magic airship, he saw a thin, injured girl crash into his arms.
The girl then fainted, and when she woke up again, she found herself lying in the arms of a strange boy.
Though she couldn't see anything, she could clearly feel the boy's pure heart!
And that warmth, that sense of security, left her in a daze for a long time.
"Don't worry, no one will force you anymore."
From that day on, the boy and girl secretly made a pact.
And the ring called "Forget-Me-Not" became the token between Lin Ye and Cai'er... His thoughts were interrupted halfway when Lin Chen suddenly spoke.
"Alright, I'll take you tomorrow."
