Earth, fire, water, and wind were the four ancient, fundamental magic attributes. Human beings had been on the blue planet for thousands of years. They initially used these four magical attributes to cultivate, and then developed additional branch attributes such as light, dark, and thunder.

Andrew knew that the development of the magic attributes was roughly divided into three stages.

The first was the most ancient period. People cultivated with the four basic attributes as well as the newly discovered attributes.

Next was the second stage. Thanks to technological developments, the people on the blue planet were able to observe the magical elements from a micro level.

For example, among the fire attributes, spells more inclined to burning and high temperature were classified as the element of molecular transformation; spells more inclined to explosions, falling meteorites were classified as the element of plastic energy. The precise subdivision of the attributes had lowered the threshold for magical cultivation.

However, for some unknown reason, after the blue planet came into contact with Star Race, the division of the magical attributes had returned to the original stage.

‘Perhaps, I can learn some relevant information from Topa,’ Andrew thought.

At this moment, Andrew had entered a deep meditative state. Through his spiritual structure, he could sense light spots of various colors floating in the air.

This was magical power, the strange power that was everywhere in this world. The number of red light spots that represented the fire element was much more than those of other colors. That was because the effects caused by the blazing tide a few days ago had not completely subsided yet.

“Come on.”

A flicker of solemnity crossed Andrew’s eyes. He dispersed the spiritual power that he had created via meditation into the air with ease and tried his best to mark all the red magical light spots. Then, he slowly activated his solid spiritual structure and absorbed those marked light spots into his body.

‘The number of the marked light spots this time is almost ten times more than that when I was a beginner mage!’

‘A hundredfold talent… That’s so unbelievable.’

Andrew sighed with emotion and felt excited.

The next step was the most important part. He concentrated and inserted the magical power in his consciousness into his spiritual structure.

Initially, Andrew thought that this process would take a lot of effort, but it was quite easy. The magical power seemed to be alive and voluntarily enter his diamond spiritual structure. Then, it turned bright red and slowly colored the originally pure white structure into the color of flames.

During this process, a lot of magical power was merged into the spiritual structure and slowly broke into smaller particles, wanting to flow out of his consciousness.

However, what surprised Andrew was…

‘It actually can’t flow out at all!’

Andrew was stunned. Initially, Andrew had guessed that his diamond spiritual structure, due to its extreme compactness, could probably increase the efficiency of absorbing magical power. However, he had never thought that the spiritual structure could absorb all magical power!

Other mages could only absorb part of the magic power while Andrew could absorb all!

‘Oh my god! This is outrageous!’

Andrew was dumbfounded. He knew very well that in the Moore Republic where he was located, even with a secret compound ether spiritual structure, the degree of magical absorption was barely around eighty-nine percent.

Moreover, only those who were deemed to have the potential to become legendary masters were qualified to be awarded a spiritual structure cultivation method. To Andrew’s surprise, his diamond spiritual structure was much greater than the former!

‘If that’s the case, I’ll recover the strength of a beginner mage faster than I have thought at the beginning.’

Andrew’s heart was pounding in excitement.

The next moment, he was shocked again. Because he saw that as the magical power from the outside world continued to enter his spiritual structure, the color of the original red magical power darkened.

‘The magical power being compressed!’

He was stunned. Through his sensing of the spiritual structure, Andrew could feel that the fire magical power in his consciousness was affected by the extremely tight diamond spiritual structure. It was compressed to only one-fifth of its previous size!

And this also meant that he was probably going to absorb five times as much magical power in total! Only then could his spiritual structure be filled.

‘It’s said that when advancing to a legendary mage, one needs to compress the magical power in their body to absorb a greater total amount of magical power. It was so similar to my current situation!’

Andrew’s enhanced memory made him remember what he had heard from a drunk descendant of a large family when he was a soldier.

‘Could it be that I can complete the same achievement as a legendary mage when I am a magical apprentice?!’

If Andrew was not meditating, he felt that he would have fainted in excitement because of this huge surprise!
