As soon as Lin Chen arrived at the An Boundary, his phone started vibrating non-stop.
Lingling: Are you back?
Lingling: Urgent matter, come back quickly!
...
Jiang Shaoxu: How much longer do you want me to wait!!!
...
Tang Yue: Returned, no worries!
"What on earth happened to Lingling that she's so urgent!!!" Lin Chen muttered to himself!
More than ten messages, most of them from Lingling. Lin Chen, not understanding, wasn't in a hurry. He first reported his safety to Tang Yue. After learning that everything was normal on Tang Yue's side, Lin Chen directly bought a plane ticket to Magic City.
"Beep... beep... beep..."
Just a moment later, a clear sound came from Lin Chen's phone!
"You're finally back, you worried me to death!"
"I just got back to the An Boundary, what's so urgent?" Lin Chen asked.
Lingling said, "Come back first, I can't explain it clearly over the phone!"
"Okay!" Lin Chen didn't hesitate and readily agreed!
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen scrolled to Jiang Shaoxu's message. Since meeting Jiang Shaoxu the day Tang Yue gave birth, Jiang Shaoxu hadn't urged Lin Chen again. Lin Chen's heart was quite complicated regarding Jiang Shaoxu. To say he didn't like her would certainly be false. Just Jiang Shaoxu's enchanting appearance made Lin Chen reluctant to let her go to anyone else. The only lingering doubt in Lin Chen's heart was her father!
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Chen no longer wanted to worry and decided to follow his heart.
Lin Chen: I just returned from training. You already know my situation. If you don't mind...
Not long after Lin Chen sent the message, he received a reply.
Jiang Shaoxu: I don't mind!!!
Lin Chen smiled slightly and replied, "Then I'll see you at the National Server Competition!!!"
On the other end of the phone, a fair-skinned, delicate-featured girl was full of smiles after seeing Lin Chen's reply.
"Yes!!!" The girl threw her phone onto the bed, clenched her fists, and shouted in a low voice!!!
...
After Lin Chen returned to Magic City, he went directly to the Qingtian Hunter Agency. Seeing the petite and cute little Lingling, Lin Chen couldn't help but pinch Lingling's little cheek and said, "Little Lingling, did you miss me!"
Lingling slapped Lin Chen's devilish hand away and said angrily, "Damn it, you loli-con!"
Lin Chen chuckled and asked directly, "Tell me, what's so urgent about finding me!"
Lingling looked behind her and said, hesitating, "Come with me!"
Lingling pulled Lin Chen's hand and left the Qingtian Hunter Agency. The two quickly arrived at an deserted corner. After carefully observing the surroundings and confirming that no one was around, Lingling finally said to Lin Chen, "My magic has awakened!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen was stunned, his heart filled with shock. He confirmed, "Are you sure?"
In the Full Magic World, ordinary people only awaken magic at the age of 16. If magic is awakened too early, it may lead to a failed awakening. At the age of 16, both mental force and body have reached a relatively mature critical point. This is also the long-term experience summary of the Full Magic World. Of course, there are also examples of self-awakening, such as Mu Ningxue, whose magic awakened on its own. Mu Ningxue's ability to self-awaken magic was ultimately due to the Ice Crystal Brake Bow fragments within her body. At this time, Lingling was only eleven or twelve years old, and the only difference from others was probably her Spirit!
Little Lingling nodded and said, "Sure, I'm very sure, my magic has really awakened!"
Lin Chen asked, "Do you have any discomfort? Also, how many stars are in the magic Star Dust you awakened?"
Lingling said, "Seven, I don't feel any discomfort!"
Lin Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this. In the original work, Lingling didn't awaken magic so early. Compared to the original work, the only difference for Lingling was that Lin Chen helped her awaken her Spirit. If Lingling's path to magic cultivation encountered setbacks because of her Spirit, Lin Chen would probably feel guilty for a lifetime!
Seven stars within the Star Dust meant that Lingling's magic awakening was successful.
Lin Chen asked thoughtfully, "What is your spirit power level now?"
In the Spirit system, as the spirit power level increases, both physique and mental force will improve accordingly!
Lingling replied, "Fifty-three levels!"
"Fifty-three levels!!!" Lin Chen muttered to himself. Although Lingling hadn't added any spirit rings, she was already a true Spirit King. In the Douluo Continent, only by advancing to Spirit King could one absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring. This was because absorbing a ten-thousand-year spirit ring would cause a soul shock, and only a Spirit King's mental force could withstand the soul shock!
Lin Chen put his hand on Lingling's shoulder. Lingling, not understanding, didn't struggle and just stared blankly at Lin Chen.
"Indeed, after your spirit power level reached fifty, both your mental force and physique underwent a qualitative change, reaching the critical value for magic awakening! This is a good thing, there shouldn't be any problems. Congratulations, Lingling, you can cultivate five years earlier than others!!! The money you've saved all these years will also come in handy!" Lin Chen said with a smile.
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Lingling's fair little face immediately broke into a brilliant smile. Ever since she self-awakened magic, she hadn't dared to tell anyone, not even her closest grandfather, for fear that her grandfather would discover the existence of her Spirit.
Earlier, due to her mistake, Leng Qing discovered her secret, which ultimately caused trouble for Lin Chen. She had always been bothered by this.
Lingling happily said, "Um... I seem to have awakened the Fire element, but my Fire element is a bit strange!"
The Fire element is known as destruction magic and is the main magic in the All Magic World. Its power is formidable, and cultivation resources are easier to obtain compared to other magic elements. Awakening the Fire element in the elementary stage is quite advantageous.
"Oh? How so?" Lin Chen asked!
Lingling reined in her smile, and a Star Map lit up beneath her fair jade feet. In an instant, a cluster of flames appeared in her hand.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."
The flickering flames were filled with violent lightning energy, a sight that left Lin Chen bewildered.
"This is... a natural Soul Seed!!!!" Lin Chen exclaimed in a low voice.
Lingling smiled slightly, withdrew the lightning flame in her hand, and said, "It should be, but I think it's more than just a Soul Seed. With my current spirit power, I can't unleash its full power!"
Lin Chen frowned slightly. According to Lingling, this lightning had at least reached the level of a Soul Seed. Fire magic, yet it carried a lightning Soul Seed, and it was an envy-inducing innate Soul Seed. Could Lingling be a child of destiny?
It's just... why does this combination feel a bit strange? Where did this lightning power come from?
Lightning... electricity... That's right, Clear Sky Hammer!!!
Lin Chen suddenly thought of the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit that Lingling had awakened. The Clear Sky Hammer possessed lightning power!
