Arthur quickly made his way through the city, avoiding the main streets he rushed towards the city's gates and when he made to them he found that they were blocked by a large group of guards, the one leading the group was no other than this body's brother Ximen Tain. Arthur smiled but before he could act,the system rang out in his mind.

Arthur thanked the system, he then equipped the restoration ring and took a deep breath before walking towards the guards blocking his escape from the city, he walked towards his brother leading them and said" I do not want to harm you brother, if I do the clan will lose a lot of its current power so do yourself a favour and move out of my way."

Ximen Tain laughed and said" Give me the ring father gave you and I will let you leave" One of the guards under the command of Ximen Tain went to complain but Ximen Tain pushed him back in line and said" You do as I command not the other way around, Little brother what is your choice?"

Arthur just smiled and drew his sword and immediately ran at his brother with the speed of a low ranked sword master and used Strike of truth, his blow broke his brothers sword in two and cut into his shoulder, nearly cleaving his arm clean off. If not for the restraint of Arthur, he would have cut it off, at the last second, Arthur reduced the power in the strike.

The guards stood there stunned, none more than Ximen Tain who looked at his brother in absolute fear. Arthur ignored the guards and made his way out of the city, the guards stepped back as he walked past them out of pure fear, they were weaker than Ximen Tain and knew that Arthur would kill them if they tried anything.

After knowing that he maybe able to use magic, Arthur was extremely interested in it, following the short duel with his brother he ran to a cave Ximen Yu used in his spare time outside of the city. He was already unable to hold himself back and he tried to find the magic introduction book from within the bookshelf in the space ring and read it.

Before long, Arthur closed the book and sighed, the major principle to release the magic was using the spiritual power to arouse the magic elements in the air, thus giving rise to different effect and power. However arousing the number of magic elements in the air depends on the strength of spiritual power and also the amount of various kinds of magic elements that could be gathered within the mages body. So mages mediates daily to cultivate the spiritual power and to gather the magic elements.

The first condition to practice magic was to have a magic physique. It was said every kind of magic element is mutually corresponding to physique. Such as person with fire attributed physique could only specialise in fire element magic and can only remain at elementary stage in other element magic.

Generally a person having a magic physique was only 1 in a 1000, and the quality was also not that good, so the standing of the mage in whole Cang Lan continent was high. 2 attributed magic physique was even rarer, basically they can be regarded as a national treasure level figure. Long Ling'er who was nearly raped by Arthur possessed this rare 2 attributed physique, i.e. fire and earth element.

Arthur didn't know whether he possessed magic physique or not, but he knew that his spiritual power was absolutely not weak.

"Let's try fire element first." Arthur started to chant a magic spell for fireball skill which was elementary fire element magic inside his heart.

The chanting of a magic spells come to an abrupt end, as he stared at the big fire ball appeared above his finger, he was completely shocked and speechless. Thanks to the losing the support of the spiritual power of Arthur the fire ball disappeared in the thin air, and the little bit remaining spiritual power released by Arthur was only able to sustain the smoke which curled upward in the air.

After withdrawing his spiritual power, Arthur thought, 'Could it be it is enough to only think the spells in the mind?' He again thought the spell on his mind, and yelled, "Fireball skill."

Not surprisingly, yet another football sized fireball appeared at his finger. This time he learnt from experience and aim at one of the big tree and threw it. The fireball made a graceful pitch arc and hit the big tree. Sparks flew in all directions, the fireball left behind a burned mark on the big tree and disappeared.

"Contrary to what I expect, it can be used only to kill a chicken, and is quite inadequate to kill a person." Arthur simply laughed, after all this was only elementary magic and its power was quite limited. After the test, Arthur was considerably satisfied with his magic talent, so happy that he again thought to try other magic too.

"Water ball skill." Arthur simply said while thinking the spell within his mind, then he felt that the water element in the air rapidly gathered, then a bowl sized water ball appeared.

"Illumination skill."Arthur thought the elementary magic of light element, a milky white ball emitting a soft light appeared at his finger.

"Earth shield skill." From the ground bubbled forth a layer of thick earth to block in front of him.

The magic introduction book didn't have the dark element magic and undead magic, It was so because both of them were taboo magic. If it was discovered that someone was using this magic, they are chased to death throughout the whole continent by the members of every professional guild. As for rare spirit magic and space magic, there was only a line or two about it, there were no spells.

Arthur smiled about the fact he could use the basics of all of these spells, he then quickly disappeared back into the night, fleeing the area around the the city as soon as possible.
