Chapter 499: See the truth tomorrow at noon (new book content)

Luo Rui: I know you’re not sleeping. If you don’t reply to me before the holiday’s over, I will definitely stick around you all day, asking all sorts of questions. If you don’t fix this, I’ll give you the lowest score on the department satisfaction survey!!!

Li Qing paused for a moment before replying.

"Happy New Year, get some rest."

"Cold, heartless~! I finally understand why you don’t have a girlfriend yet."

Li Qing’s expression changed slightly.

"What do you mean by that?"

"You killed the conversation instantly, leaving the other person with no way to respond."

"Really."

"..."

Seeing Luo Rui stop replying, Li Qing casually put his phone aside, even though Luo Rui was cute, she wasn’t his type. She was too young, seven years younger than him, and was exceptionally skilled in the field of biology, considered a future star.

As for him, he was just an ordinary person. Even with magic now in his possession, for the low-key Li Qing, he never had the desire to brag about it.

He worked tirelessly until dawn, when Li Qing finally lifted his head, looking at the faint sunrise outside the window. The entire city began to awaken, radiating vibrant energy.

The day had broken.

He carefully tucked his scroll close before getting up and stretching lazily, then prepared to go out for breakfast.

Gray Magic Academy classes started at dawn.

Going downstairs, he watched the bustling streets, the gloom from the Gray Magic Academy completely dispelled from his heart.

That place was a miracle, but the various underlying tones made him feel oppressed.

Finding a random breakfast shop, Li Qing happily ate a large bowl of noodles before walking towards a nearby park.

He intended to take a walk, digest his food, and comb through information he had gathered.

Currently, from the information he had, one possibility was that Otherworldly Space-Time truly existed, and the Gray Magic Academy recruited students from various worlds.

The second possibility was that the world he lived in appeared peaceful on the surface, but possessed various dangerous Extraordinary Powers underneath.

But seeing Anna try to elicit information from him, it was highly likely she was from a different world, and from what Zhuang Xu revealed, she could determine his world’s coordinates based on his true name, and then initiate an invasion.

Such power was a bit terrifying.

Meanwhile, Li Qing was also astonished by the power possessed by Gray Magic Academy. Gray seemed to operate according to so-called ’school rules’, even a mentor like Zhuang Xu could only push boundaries to seduce Gray Magic Academy students into breaking the rules, then act.

Is it a god, or a demon?

Li Qing’s understanding of magic remained blurry up till now, though studying "Magic Theory" gave him a somewhat clearer picture of magic categorization, yet much was still lacking.

What truly defines magic isn’t simply manipulating ice or fire; regardless of how skilled you are, it’s merely the simplest form of energy manipulation.

Real magic is miraculous, touching upon rules, the law of cause and effect, even altering the fundamental laws of the cosmos. Only these can truly be called magic.

Even though the contents in "Magic Theory" were written with an extravagant flair, Li Qing was still skeptical but half-convinced.

The transformation star of Meditation Skill was poised to descend upon the Spiritual World shortly. Li Qing felt that within a few days, when the spirit reached a qualitative change, he could meditate in the body, thereby accumulating spirit and physical power into Magic Power, achieving the basic standard for casting magic.

While pondering, a sudden clamor beside him jolted Li Qing back to reality. Turning his head, he saw a large crowd gathered not far away.

Watching excitement is a quintessential trait of Huaxia People, and Li Qing was no exception. He moved forward to see what was happening, only to find two well-built, fairly attractive girls fighting.

On seeing this, Li Qing instantly lost interest. There was nothing worth seeing; he thought it was something exciting.

Li Qing turned to leave, halfway when he suddenly heard the crowd shout.

"Yeah, just like that, rip her clothes!"

"Girl, don’t be scared, pull her pants!"

Li Qing quickly turned around, squeezed into the crowd. He must see if people dared to commit such unseemly acts in broad daylight.

Half an hour later, Li Qing regretfully watched the two girls being separated by the police and placed in the police car.

What a shame, just one step short.

Hands behind his back, turning slowly with the dispersing crowd finding nothing more to see.

In today’s age, stepping in to mediate gets you nowhere. You might end up being the target of attack yourself.

Not advisable, not advisable.

When he was younger, Li Qing had foolishly done such things, ending up being resented by both sides and never contacted again.

Taking a stroll in the park like a seventy-year-old to digest his food, Li Qing slowly returned to his rented room, ready to dive into "Magic Theory" again.

According to the book, Shaping Magic was considered the most basic, low-end application among the nine major magic attributes, many advanced mages disdain using Shaping Magic, whether in combat or for other purposes.

"Because Shaping Magic is arguably the only scientifically explainable form, even understanding its essence, it cannot be considered Miracle Magic, no matter how powerful the magic within Shaping Magic, it’s merely a manner of energy, elemental application. Mage battles are more about silent confrontations, curses, word spirits, evil..."

Upon reading this explanation, Li Qing couldn’t help but grab some snacks beside him.

The so-called Shaping Magic resembles novel magic constructs like Fireball Technique or Ice Arrow Technique, where one’s magic energy aligns the wandering energy in the cosmos to manifest power.

Yet, it must be said, Shaping Magic was indeed powerful, and had the most variety, but should two mages disdainful of Shaping Magic battle each other, the scene would probably be them glaring at each other, muttering curses, waving their hands and feet, without any sign of Extraordinary Power materializing...

Reading this part, Li Qing couldn’t help but burst into laughter, it was akin to his hometown’s rural culture, Meatsilk and Jack fencing...

Though Shaping Magic was strong, it was quite inadequate for battles between mages; you’re still chanting, gesturing for Fireball Technique, and the opponent, adept at cursing, screams a curse at you, and instantly cursed, you suffer a splitting headache, collapsed, and the just-coalesced Fireball Technique instantly gets out of control, explosively backfiring, injuring you...
