Ow, that hurts. The meditating (sleeping) me didn't know what suddenly attacked me.
Drowsily opening my eyes, a solemn face appeared in front of me.
"Old Demon!!" I couldn't help but shout.
"What? What did you just say?" Teacher Xiu just came back and is looking at me with some gruesome eyes.
"Ah, no it's nothing. I wasn't thinking of you just as you came back Teacher Xiu!"
"Really now? Then what's this about an Old Demon~?"
My head became soaked with cold sweat. "Oh, I just now had a nightmare where lots of demons attacked me. It definitely wasn't about you! How could such a kind teacher possibly be called a demon?"
"Oh, is it now?" said Teacher Xiu while giving me a doubtful look.
"I told you to come here to meditate but instead you came here to sleep. My name is Xi Yu Xiu, obey my call, come forth my servant, Light Tiger! Zhang Gong, go for a run right now."
"There's no need teacher. I've been meditating really hard lately. I was just a bit tired just now, so I took a small nap." I can't possibly tell him I was doing lying meditation, who would believe that I could practice while sleeping.
"Really? Then I'm going examine you. Come over here."
"Oh!" I walked to Teacher Xiu.
Teacher Xiu took out a magic stone (A magic crystal type. Specialized for detecting and measuring a mage's magic power) for magic appraisal from his dimensional space (A space that can store things. Only intermediate and above mages can use and the space is proportional to the mage's magic power) and gave it to me.
"Repeat after me. Hear my name, light elements, obey my call, and gather in front of me!"
"Hear my name, light elements, obey my call, and gather in front of me!"
Following the incantation, both the light elements in my Upper Dantian and my internal light elements energies surged towards the magic stone in the palms of my hands. The magic stone emitted a faint glow. The faint glow gradually increased. I let my internal magic power continually flow into the magic stone, knowing that the magic power has reached equilibrium with the magic power flowing from my Upper Dantian. The light emitted by the magic stone lit up the whole house, enabling one to see all the details. Unexpectedly, my illumination spell is good enough now.
Teacher Xiu was stunned. "You really didn't slack off ah. I really didn't expect that in three months' time, your magic power as reached the level of an elementary mage. You must have meditated for at least 18 hours a day, wait, that's not right. Even 24 hours of meditation a day couldn't possibly achieve such a good effect."
On this continent, even with diligent cultivation it takes one year from not knowing any magic to becoming an elementary mage.
"It seems you really are a genius at light magic!"
"Of course I am, after all, I am extremely smart! Hahaha~~" I can't help but be proud of myself.
"What are you pleased about, this is nothing. I still need to see your future performance. What use is light magic power if it's not applied properly?" Seeing how proud of myself I was, Teacher Xiu immediately poured cold water on me.
Teacher Xiu dismissed the light tiger so I secretly wiped my sweat. This event can be considered over; looks like I won't be having a funeral, haha. (These days I already regard lying meditation as sleeping. It's a lot more comfortable than the way I slept before.)
"It's very late now, hurry up and go home. Tomorrow you will start learning light magic. Remember to bring that book on light magic that I gave you."
