Chapter 30 - The Sudden Enlightenment (1/2)

Time flowed by, and the night had already gone in a flash. The sun rose like a flower opening, gifting its petals unto the Egul Continent.

Currently, Shad was sitting on his bed in a meditative stance, totally immersed himself into his morning meditation.

After he had witnessed just the severity and the destructive power of a magical spell cast by a peak 9th class mage, he finally realized just how weak he was compared to those old monsters.

Not only him, everyone living in the imperial capital had witnessed this sight as well. A rain of fire poured down from the sky like a meteor shower.

Without even seeing the culprit, everyone had already known who it was. There was only one person who would dare to do something like that within the imperial capital and had that kind of power to do so, and that person was none other than the protector of the Empire as well as the Dean of Kalin Magic Academy, Franklin Djage.

At this moment, Shad's eyes were tightly shut as he was sensing the power of the magic elements in the surrounding.

Generally, if one had a high affinity for the fire element, then the red colored fire element magic energy would be absorbed the most. If one were to have a high affinity for the earth element, then naturally the yellow colored earth magic element would be absorbed the most and so on.

Whether it was cultivating mana or battle qi, they were different tunes played with equal skill effects.

Meditation of magic or battle qi both put a tremendous emphasis on cultivating the mind.

Only after the mind was calmed down and at peace without any disturbance would one be able to sense the surrounding energy or entered into the state of meditation.

Within his mana pool, there were many strands of white lightning gathered below the purple lightning seed. Sensing his thought, the strands of white lightning started to fluttered and wiggled, as though they were a bunch of spoiled brats.

As for Shad, he could feel a deep connection with the lightning energy within his mana pool as though he could control them with just a thought.

Suddenly, Shad felt a deep connection with the surrounding area as though he was a part of nature itself. In the meantime, his spiritual force was released and merged with the surrounding and began absorbing the magic energy in the atmosphere within his body.

From his body, crackling and rattling sound unceasingly rang out, as a surge of terrifying magic energy surged about frenziedly within. Unbeknownst to him, Shad had suddenly gained a bit of enlightenment by coincidence and was in a semi-unconscious state.

While Shad was into that trance, his aura had completely vanished as though his soul had left his body. However, the surrounding magic energy was being crazily absorbed by his body.

Within his mana pool, the purple lightning seed was rotating unceasingly, transforming every bit of those incoming mana or magic energy into lightning energy or strands of white lightning. Most of those lightning energy stayed within his mana pool while some of them seeped within every cell of his body strengthening it.

In fact, the purple lightning seed within Shad's mana pool had already changed his body into something different since the day he was reborn. Coupled with some extremely good benefits brought by the purple lightning seed, Shad's body was far better than anything he could ever imagine.

Even though it was a slow process, Shad's body was being refined every single day by the purple lightning seed with the purest essence of mana from the entire universe.

This type of essence would generally go unnoticed for normal people and even some powerful mages or warriors, However, it was a different story when it comes to an Archmage who had already gained the acknowledgment of their elemental attribute's will.

Shad sat on his bed, immersed himself into this sudden enlightenment and in absorbing the magic elements. In that state, he had lost the concept of time. He just sat there on his bed like living statue.

After a long time, Shad felt as though the speed of gathering and absorbing the magic energy in the surrounding became slower and slower, and finally, he woke up from his meditative stance.

Shad opened his eyes, and in the depth of his eyes, a sharp destructive white light exploded forth, as bright as the glow of lightning. within his mana pool, the white bolts of lightning beneath the purple lightning seed had multiplied. Not only that, he felt as though his body had become stronger as well.

He felt extremely clear-headed and his spiritual force had become stronger and sharper. This was the transformation that had occurred as a result of the increase in his cultivation base.
