Quanzhi fashi: Hyper Talent for Magic

In the heart of Lanyang City, beneath the ancient altar, a pool of crystal-clear spring water emitted a radiant and warm glow.

Even without any lighting within the altar, the spring water below illuminated the entire altar as if it were daytime.

A young man lay unconscious on the altar. His face was sharp and well-defined, with a strong and well-proportioned physique that exuded a heroic and extraordinary aura, giving off a first impression of warmth and friendliness.

«Ugh… it hurts. Where am I?»

Qin Chen slowly sat up, clutching his head, and mumbled as he looked around the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings.

«Strange, wasn't I just giving my college graduation thesis presentation and accidentally fell from the thirteenth floor? How did I end up here?»

«No, I'm Qin Chen, the son of the mayor of Lanyang City, undergoing a baptism at the Earth Heart Spring Altar.»

«Did I transmigrate?»

«It seems it's not the legendary soul transmigration; this body was originally mine. However, when I was born, my soul was too strong and subconsciously hidden, splitting into another personality that grew in my place. Now, my true consciousness has awakened.»

«Well, since I've already started anew, there's no need to dwell on the past. This world is fascinating; it's the world of Versatile Mage, and it's not one of those trashy starts. Awesome.»

In just a few minutes, Qin Chen had absorbed most of the information in his mind and understood his current situation. His adaptability was strong, and he quickly accepted the fact of his transmigration.

«This is the heart of Lanyang City. The Earth's Core and the Vermilion Bird's Feather from the original work should be here. Encountering such an opportunity right after awakening, it would be a crime not to seize it!»

Suddenly recalling the content from the original work, he realized that the Earth's Core was right in the spring water beneath him.

Then, he discovered a magic staff existing in his mind.

«Come out!»

With a thought, a cyan magic staff appeared in his hand, two meters long. However, the appearance of the staff was peculiar.

The front part of the staff was similar to an ordinary scepter, but the place where a magic gem should be embedded had a sword blade instead.

The first impression it gave was that it was a combination of a magic staff and a sword, more fitting to be called a magic sword-staff!

In the middle of the magic sword-staff were ten round slots, but only one of them had a chaotic-colored bead embedded in it, while the other nine were empty, seemingly left for its owner to fill freely.

This magic sword-staff had appeared in his mind since childhood and signed a contract with him. Previously, due to insufficient mental strength, he couldn't summon it. Now that his true consciousness had awakened, he could naturally take it out.

At the same time, he felt the magic sword-staff urging him to go down, as if something was attracting it.

«Protect me!»

After speaking to the magic sword-staff, he jumped directly into the spring water.

Though he was unsure if he could obtain the opportunity below, he decided to take a gamble.

If he didn't even dare to try, wouldn't his transmigration to this world be a waste of the greatest opportunity?

Opportunities wouldn't fall into his lap; he had to strive for them himself!

As he finished speaking, the chaotic-colored bead on the magic sword-staff flashed, as if responding to him, urging him to retrieve the treasure below.

Not long after diving into the spring water, Qin Chen saw countless bright feathers floating in the water.

They were noble and beautiful, like a peerless beauty dancing in the water, sacred and inviolable.

«The Vermilion Bird's Feather, but it's not what I'm looking for.»

Though he coveted the Vermilion Bird's Feather, he knew he couldn't collect or use them without something related to the Vermilion Bird.

So, he continued diving until he reached the deepest part of the spring, where he found a bright, warm, and hot fire bead floating in the water, seemingly the source of all light and heat in the spring.

«Found it, the fire element Earth's Core!»

Qin Chen looked at the fire element Earth's Core in front of him with joy. He had come here precisely to obtain the Earth's Core.

«Buzz~«

Before he could react, the Earth's Core burst into dazzling light, enveloping him.

In the face of this light, a person who hadn't awakened to magic like him had no power to resist.

At this moment, the magic sword-staff in his hand also glowed, allowing him to see everything clearly within the light.

In the dazzling light, a noble, holy, beautiful, and inviolable figure appeared.

It resembled a bird with an eagle's beak and eyes, majestic and strong, covered in red flames that never extinguished. It was the Vermilion Bird, one of the four holy totems.

The Vermilion Bird flew out of the light and directly into his body. Bound by the light, he couldn't stop it.

As the Vermilion Bird entered his body, his whole body heated up, and a red stardust appeared in his mental world, with seven red stars wandering within.

At the same time, a red feather mark appeared on his forehead, the emblem of the Vermilion Bird's Feather.

With the appearance of the Vermilion Bird's Feather, all the floating Vermilion Bird Feathers in the spring seemed to have found their master and surged into his body.

A fiery sensation spread from his back, as if something was about to grow out of it.

Soon, a pair of bright, fiery red, and beautiful wings, thirty meters long, grew from his back.

Qin Chen's body seemed tiny compared to these wings, but they vanished into his body as soon as they appeared. He was too weak to manifest the Vermilion Bird's Wings on his own.

When the light dissipated, all the feathers in the spring vanished, leaving only the glowing and hot fire element Earth's Core.

As Qin Chen approached to retrieve the Earth's Core, he realized he had nothing to store it with.

Previously, the Vermilion Bird's Feather had prevented anyone from exploring the spring's depths. Now that they were gone, others would surely come to investigate.

If he didn't take the Earth's Core now, it would be discovered by someone else.

Just as he was at a loss, the magic sword-staff in his hand trembled slightly, as if indicating that it could store the Earth's Core.

«In that case, let's give it a try!»

The Earth's Core emitted energy that could burn him alive. Without the protective membrane from the magic sword-staff, he wouldn't dare to approach it.

«Collect!»

As he neared the Earth's Core, he used the magic sword-staff to tap it.

Surprisingly, the Earth's Core was easily absorbed by the magic sword-staff, embedding itself in the slot next to the chaotic-colored bead.
