Hiro Empire, imperial capital, Nanshan Courtyard, cultivation room.

A handsome youth sat upright on the cold floor.

Under the control of his tyrannical spiritual power, the icy blue magic array pattern in front of him gradually stabilized.

Weng!

Soundless tremors spread all around in the cultivation room.

A second later, the elemental vortex formed.

A puny drop of water fell out slowly from the centre of the array pattern.

“I did it”

Hughes’s eyes twinkled with a pinch of shrewdness, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously curled to one side.

For this water ball technique, Hughes had trained wholeheartedly for three years, and now, he finally succeeded!

“One more time, I can definitely do it.”

Soon, Hughes regained his calm. He released his spiritual power, trying to find the trace of feeling that he had found in the unseen world.

Hughes’s soul did not belong to this world.

Fifteen years ago, he came from another world and replaced the original owner of this body, after which he became the second son of Duke Norton Smith — Hughes Smith!

Different from the civilization of the Blue Planet, this world had embarked on a different path.

This was a world where magic was highly prosperous. In this world, mages had a royal status that ordinary people could not reach!

In the beginning, Hughes had thought that he would be like the main characters in common web novels. He would be able to turn the tides even when his parents disliked him and when his brothers belittled him. He thought he would reach the peak of his life and become the pillar of the Empire!

However, the actual situation was not what Hughes had imagined.

The Tulip family was considered as a top family in the entire Hiro Empire. However, within the family, there were no struggles for power and benefits that appeared to be common among other aristocratic families.

On the contrary, under the leadership of Duke Norton Smith, the Tulip family became more and more benevolent, they became a family with great love and care!

Come back to Hughes again.

As the son of Duke Tulip, Norton, Hughes was born with a talent that ordinary people could not even dream of. He was born with a Max level spiritual power!

With his outstanding talent, he had been nurtured carefully in the palm of the upper class of the empire since he was young. The great mage of the Hall of light personally cast a blessing spell on him. The Emperor always brought Hughes along when he was hunting.

At that time, all the nobles in Hiro City were all shadowed by Hughes’s genius talent, and no one could even come close to him.

However, this peak did not last long.

When Hughes was twelve years old, the great mage of the Hall of light of the Hiro Empire personally held an elemental awakening ceremony for him.

In this grand gathering that was the focus of everyone’s attention, Hughes did not wake the top-notch elemental affinity as everyone had expected.

Compared with his incredibly high spiritual power, Hughes’s elemental affinity went to the other extreme.

His elemental affinity was the lowest of the low!

But this was not the most embarrassing thing for Hughes.

After the first awakening ceremony, the Archmage who presided over the awakening ceremony for Hughes did not believe the result.

He stopped the dejected Hughes and told him that there was a problem with the awakening ceremony and that he needed to do it again.

Hughes realized that he still had another chance, he grabbed the rope that the great wizard handed him without hesitation like a desperate drowning man.
