Everything that was required of me until the end of my studies at school was done. Unfortunately, I couldn't join the hunters and collect souls into my talisman in this way. On the other hand, one-eyed wolves and rats sometimes tried to break into my cave with grains of the sacred spring, but they all had one end, death by my hand. However, it was only at the second meeting with the one-eyed wolf that I could understand how dangerous this guy was.

It was a month later, after I started cultivating at the source and received a spiritual magic tool. Thanks to this, my cultivation has progressed noticeably, but it was a long way to the third level. But in the class, only the best made it to the second level, everyone else before that was the same as me before the third.

So, I come once again to the cave, and an ordinary one-eyed wolf, a tall servant, wants to dig into it, through the blockage I created. I, being confident in my abilities, used the wind blade, but it left a cut, though deep, but not dangerous for the monster. From this, the wolf immediately switched to me, it's good that I started creating the lightning star trek in advance, and after a month of diligent cultivation, the creation of spells happened almost instantly.

After shooting the wolf with the lightning seal, the second stage, I hurried to create the wind path: flicker spell and get away. But the wolf, though fried by lightning, but the pace did not slow down much. So fighting off lightning and running away with the help of the wind, I was busy with him for ten minutes. A couple of times he almost caught up with me, fortunately, I got off with only minor scratches.

After that, I met with wolves several more times, and with rats too, gradually collecting souls in my tooth. In just a year, I killed about five to seven one-eyed wolves and fifteen to twenty rats. Sometimes the stronger ones came, sometimes the weaker ones, but all this gave me a good training of my skills. Still, in order to live confidently in this world, at first you need to take risks.

By the New Year holidays, a lot of things have changed, for example, I have reached the third level in both lightning magic and wind magic, everything is so cultivating even these crumbs of the holy spring speeds up the process a lot, plus of course the spiritual tool helps quite well. I also started dating Lin Yun Er, after all, she is quite cute and sweet, and also reciprocates me, so why not? In my previous life, because of my rather unsightly appearance, I did not enjoy success with girls, in fact, as in this one, I did not get a lucky ticket, and I was left with an absolutely ordinary appearance. Therefore, I, the relationship with Lin Yun Er gave me quite a lot of pleasure.

Since she was also a magician, I decided to show her the holy spring and cultivate with her. A good light magician, in the form of my girlfriend, does not put me in trouble. She has subdued all the stars in less than nine months, so she definitely has talent. I took her under the pretext of walking and showing something very interesting.

- Xing Yun, why should we leave the security zone, isn't it dangerous there? – She asked when I took her out of the city on a familiar route.

- Don't worry, I can protect you from the monsters that can walk here. But we need to go further, because what I want to show is beyond the boundaries of security. I replied, calming her down, and squeezed her hand even tighter.

- This is some kind of cave, do we really have to climb there? Lin Yun Er asked, looking at me with disbelief.

- Yes, it's right there, don't worry there are no monsters there. – I said, climbing into the cave first.

- You know, if it's not something unrealistically cool, I'll leave you! – She said, pouting a lot and following me.

- It's worth getting a little dirty. I said, helping her into the cave.

- There are somehow a lot of magical elements in the air, what is it? Where are you taking me anyway, Xing Yun? "What is it?" she asked when we had almost reached the right place.

- We're here. - I said when we reached the room with the stalactite, oddly enough, despite the constantly dripping water, the puddle did not get any bigger, not by a millimeter. I really measured with a ruler– - This is a small part of the famous sacred spring in the city. I said proudly, putting my hands on my hips.

- Really! Lin Yun Er was startled and screamed at the whole cave. – And we won't get anything if we cultivate here? – She asked a reasonable question.

- No, only you and I know about this place. - I said just as confidently. - If you don't tell anyone, there won't be any problems. Only you can cultivate here a couple of times a week, otherwise the source may dry up, and they may start looking for the source of drying up and find this place.

- I see, I can cultivate right now, right? "What is it?" she asked with burning eyes.

- Yes, that's why I brought you here– - I smiled back at her, for which I received a good kiss.

After that, we began to come with her together, even bumped into monsters together a couple of times, for the first time she could barely release magic, it's good that I'm already a third-stage magician and was able to throw her away with the wind and quickly kill the monster. Although I still had to lift the veil of secrecy and tell them that I have lightning and wind magic at the same time. Of course, she promised not to tell anyone, but I can only hope that this was not my fatal mistake.

Our cultivation with her was progressing literally by leaps and bounds. She had already reached the second level of light magic, the first in her class, a month and a half after the start of such cultivation. However, she didn't tell anyone about it, because even for second-year students it's too cool, even Mo Fan made his way to the second level at the end of the year.

As for me, by the end of the school year, I began to feel more significant changes in my two elements, I reached the middle-level barrier, about the same time when Yun Er reached the second level, maybe two or three weeks later. But it was incredibly difficult to move on. A week before the start of the final exams, I decided to try to make a breakthrough to the middle level, in the wind element. Up to this point, I have done everything possible to increase the chances of a successful breakthrough.

On the day of the breakthrough, I came to the source alone, since the fact that I will become a mid-level magician should be an absolute secret. I sat as close to the source as possible, because there was the best place for cultivation. After that, he plunged into the inner world and began a breakthrough. It turned out to be an incredibly difficult task even though I had been preparing for almost three months at the sacred spring and with a spiritual magic tool, focusing on the wind.

I felt sweat dripping from me, as the echo of not weak pain echoed throughout my body. However, I sat and continued to make a breakthrough, after about an hour, after the start, if you believe my watch, it was over. I made a breakthrough in the wind element, instead of seven stars, there were now forty-nine, instead of stardust, a nebula! And although the lightning element was also ready to break through, but I didn't dare to go through it again right away.

After I made my way to the middle level, my eyesight, hearing, and sense of smell became a little better, my physical strength and reaction speed also increased, and last, the sense of magic noticeably improved. I could even determine at what level of cultivation this or that person was at.

After the exams, the duel was still a few days away. After that, I won't be able to make a breakthrough in the lightning element for quite a while. So I decided to try, but after spending three hours of the most persistent cultivation, I did not achieve anything. At least I got pretty close to a breakthrough, but I couldn't achieve it, it's a pity, now I have to rely only on myself.

From the duel, Mo Fan and Yu An staged a whole show with a banquet, to which they dragged a lot of all sorts of guests, as well as a support group from the school was invited there, where I also itched. When we arrived at the Mu Clan mansion, the first thing we did with the whole crowd was to find Mo Fan to cheer him up.

- Zhou Min, Zhang Hou, Xing Yun, He Yu, Zhang Ying, Xu Zhao Tin, Wang Pan... where are you guys from?! Mo Fan asked when he noticed our approach.

"The school invited some of us, Mu Bai selected us. This is the biggest duel between a school and a clan disciple! How can we miss such an event? Xu Zhao Tin said sourly. Yes, he is a lightning mage and this duel was meant for him, but Mo Fan took it for himself halfway through. Ha, it looks funny

"Fan ge, I saw that Uncle Mo Xing is on the guest list, Mu He must have done it," Zhang Hou said excitedly, approaching Mo Fan.

"That's good, ha ha ha. Mo Fan smiled impressively.

"Mo Fan, you can do it!" Zhou Min said, smiling, but it was obvious that she herself did not believe it.

"Ha, ha, ha! Mo Fan, be gentle with Yu An, don't fry him too much! - Laughing merrily, I said, although to be honest, it would be better to fry it worse.

- Ha, yes, I'll see, you believe in your brother too much, Xing Yun, he will be frozen so that then a month will thaw! Kun San objected to me, proudly raising his head.

"Oh, Kun San, how about we place a bet?" I smiled slyly at him.

- Nah! I won't argue with you anymore! - He protested in fright, waving his hands. Still, he has brains for the third time he didn't fall for the same bait, it's a pity. But I didn't count on it.

- Oh, what were you arguing about earlier? Xu Zhao Ting intervened in our conversation.

- Yes, I lost a thousand to him first, then ten, it's better not to argue with him– - Having said this, Kun San hurried away.

- Don't you want to bet on this Zhao Ting duel? I asked him, under the guise of our conversation, everyone else went to fill their bellies.
