"What is it?" the old man asked curiously.
Fang Yu fell silent for a moment before slowly speaking,
"Please tell them that the son who left home at seven may have had a somewhat difficult time back then, but he is living well now. He doesn't blame them, nor does he hate them."
Hearing this, the elderly couple were both surprised.
"If they ever come back, I will definitely pass the message on for you. Even if this old man dies, I'll entrust it to someone else," the old man said with a smile.
Fang Yu cupped his hands and bowed in thanks.
After that, he turned and left, with no further attachments.
He had done everything he could.
It might not have been the best way, but he had tried his best. His heart no longer carried stray thoughts.
Leaving tomorrow, he would not have too many regrets.
However, among those words just now, there had been one lie.
He did resent them.
But that resentment was strange.
Was he resentful that they had abandoned him, or resentful that they had moved away so quickly?
For a moment, even he could not tell.
The next day.
Fang Yu checked out of his room.
Leng Qing followed at his side as they left together.
Two hours later.
Fang Yu returned to his residence in Bo City.
When they reached the station, Leng Qing disappeared from sight.
Looking at the familiar courtyard, Fang Yu let out a soft breath.
After three days, he was finally back.
In a little over a month, school would begin. During this time, he could continue to lie low and grow stronger as quickly as possible.
At the same time, he should join the City Hunter Team. Whether for real combat experience or funding, both needed to be accumulated.
More than a month passed just like that.
During this period, Fang Yu used his Level 2 Basic-Tier Ice element magic and disguised himself to blend into the City Hunter Team.
His luck was fairly good, he helped eliminate two Giant-Eyed Rats. The materials they collected brought in over a hundred thousand.
Inside the courtyard.
At this moment, Fang Yu closed his eyes and looked inward at his spiritual world.
Two Star Dusts shone brilliantly, ice-blue and silver radiating together. Among them, the silver Spatial Star Dust was clearly a bit larger.
"Not bad. In a while, I should be able to touch the threshold of Level 3 Basic-Tier magic."
Fang Yu stood up and headed toward the school.
Today, the second year of high school was about to begin.
Tianlan Magic High School.
It was worth mentioning that although Fang Yu had not participated in the magic release assessment, he was still assigned to the Seed Class with excellent results.
The Seed Class had over a hundred students. They attended lessons in a large classroom and practiced in the grand magic training field.
Those who made it into the Seed Class had basically mastered seven stars, though some were still not particularly proficient in releasing magic.
The practical instructor was still Tang Yue. This newly arrived practical mentor had a cultivation level surpassing every other practical instructor in the school. Even though she had been at the school for less than half a year, the Seed Class's practical lessons were to be taught by her.
The Seed Class's homeroom teacher was still Xue Musheng.
His class had produced three S-grade students, who else but him could be the instructor of top students?
Inside the large classroom.
Fang Yu, Mo Fan, and Zhang Xiaohou gathered together. All three had entered the Seed Class.
Mo Fan looked Fang Yu up and down and teased, "Old Fang, haven't seen you all vacation. You've changed quite a bit, big transformation."
"Be specific?"
"Can't really say. Feels like your aura's changed. But compared to me, you're still a bit lacking."
"Heh."
Fang Yu naturally knew why. After all, during the vacation he had gone through the baptism of both the Black Vatican and demon beasts.
Subtly, he had been affected.
A change in temperament was normal.
A moment later.
The Seed Class instructor, Xue Musheng, walked in.
At this moment, the hundred-plus Seed students were extremely excited. Today was the day the Stardust Magic Tool would be distributed.
"We will allocate the usage time of the Stardust Magic Tool according to your annual assessment rankings. The higher your rank, the longer you will be able to use it. Of course, our school is very humane. Every quarter, we will conduct another test and re-rank everyone. The allocation of the Stardust Magic Tool will also change according to the new assessment."
"It's worth mentioning that although you are currently Seed Class students and enjoy advantages that ordinary classes do not have, don't think that the next two years will be smooth sailing. In the quarterly assessment, the bottom ten in the class will be directly demoted to the ordinary classes, and the top ten from the ordinary classes will move up to the Seed Class. So your competitive pressure is even greater!" Xue Musheng said.
There was not much difference in this system. Fang Yu did not feel much about it.
Many people disliked school, and even more disliked trials, but one thing was also true: without school and without trials, how could you compete with the children of great clans? The resources a school provides may not be inferior to those of major aristocratic families. The difference is that school is like waves washing away sand.
It also proves that saying: gold will eventually shine!
Soon after, the classic famous scene occurred.
"Mo Fan, as the first in the class, you should have been the first to receive the Stardust Magic Tool and to use it for the longest time. However, given your disrespectful behavior toward your elders during the annual assessment, your usage time will be reduced from one month to ten days. This is your punishment!" Xue Musheng said with a stern expression.
"Oh, from one month down to ten days. That price is too heavy. If he had just held back and not acted so recklessly, that one month would have been enough to widen the gap with everyone else," some students began whispering.
"If he had just lowered his head and agreed to join the Mu Clan, he might have gotten even more!"
"Yeah, why be so stubborn?"
Xue Musheng glared, silencing the students.
"Mo Fan, do you have any objections to this punishment?" Xue Musheng asked.
"No," Mo Fan replied.
The Stardust Magic Tool was something Mo Fan truly needed. He already spent more time cultivating than others, and with a Stardust Magic Tool, it would be twice the result with half the effort.
But that was under long-term possession. If he only held it for a month or so, then for Mo Fan, it would be somewhat dispensable.
As for Mo Fan being punished, the happiest person was Mu Bai.
He sneered inwardly. Mo Fan really didn't know what was good for him. For the sake of pride, he wasted the Stardust Magic Tool and greatly reduced his cultivation speed.
If he kept acting up, then in the next assessment, Mu Bai could overturn Mo Fan and directly seize the top spot.
Mu Bai looked up at the sky.
The advantage is mine!
On the other side.
Fang Yu looked at Mo Fan with emotion.
At this moment, he had not realized the seriousness of the matter.
The Stardust Magic Tool provided by the school, this was the key to activating Mo Fan's Little Loach Pendant, the Totem Vessel.
That was a Totem Vessel, an alternative growth-type cultivation magic tool!
It was also the crucial item for Mo Fan's future meteoric rise.
To be honest, if the Totem Vessel had not been soul-bound to him, Fang Yu would have considered tricking it away.
At that point, once the Azure Dragon Totem revived, he could run rampant across the country. No one would dare speak loudly to him.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed.
During this period, Fang Yu focused all his energy on the Spatial element. Finally, nourished by the Ice Orb, he broke through to Level 3 Basic-Tier: Telekinesis · Void Wall.
In the courtyard.
Fang Yu controlled his stars. A silver Star Path streaked across as countless spatial elements gathered, weaving into a radiant silver barrier.
He lightly touched it with his finger. The barrier erupted with a powerful force, directly tearing a small cut into his fingertip, causing slight pain.
This was the additional effect of Void Wall, it carried a strong spatial cutting force.
It could be said that Level 3 Void Wall was indeed a widely applicable defensive skill.
Fang Yu nodded in satisfaction and examined his spiritual world. Spatial element Level 3 Basic-Tier, at the age of seventeen, it was truly terrifying.
As for his Ice element cultivation, in another three months it should be complete. At that time, he could attempt to advance to Level 3 Basic-Tier as well.
