Insufficient balance

  "This is because you've grasped the method of compression magic, and the light element has started to transform your body. The phenomenon will become more and more apparent. Depending on the type of magic learned, the color displayed by the body is also different. For example, fire is red, water is blue, earth is yellow, wind is green, and our researched light system is white. When you're surrounded by a white glow all over your body, it means you've almost succeeded in compressing all magical powers. Whenever someone appears with this phenomenon, they'll be noticed by the Magic Guild and will be invited to take an aptitude test. As far as I know, you're the youngest person to reach this stage at just 11 years old." said Teacher Di with a relieved tone.

  "Yes, I'm 11 years old, Teacher Randy."

  "Do you know when I completed the compression magic? It was when I was 26 years old, at that time the whole country was shaken, except for the first-ranked space system mage, Senna. Ren, I was the fastest one. Senna. Ren completed it at the age of 20."

  "Why was I able to finish so quickly?" It's actually really difficult.

  "I'm not too sure either, maybe it's because you've already been recognized by the light element."

  "How much longer will it take for me to fully compress the light element magic?"

  "It's hard to say, compressing magical power is usually particularly difficult at the beginning, it must be understood by oneself, so I didn't teach you. After understanding, the speed will be faster, if you work hard, you should be able to complete it this month."

  "Teacher Di, so after I've compressed it, won't I be surrounded by light every day and become a monster?" I don't want to be a monster.

  "Don't worry, it won't. Once you've fully compressed your magical power, it will return to the state it was in when you first started compressing your magical power, which is how you look now." Di teacher said with a smile.

  "Oh, that's good then. Teacher Di, am I going to take the Magic Association's test?"

  "Better not, for now. You're still quite bad at magic applications, and if you pass the Magic Guild's test, you'll become a national celebrity, which is exhausting. I hope you can practice your magic steadily. You should know that if you fully compress your magical power, your level will be close to that of a magic conductor. A 10-year-old reaching this level would make the kingdom go wild."

  "Fine, I didn't want to be famous." Thinking back to when I first took the entrance exam and got first place, it still sends shivers down my spine. (But how was I supposed to know that I would eventually become the most famous person on the entire continent?)

  "This month's task is to compress your magical power, and when you return to your classmates, don't let them know. Once you've fully compressed your magical power, I'll teach you some magic applications that should be enough for the end-of-term competition." Di teacher paused for a moment before continuing: "Originally, I didn't think you'd grasp the method of compressing magical power so quickly. I was going to teach you how to apply magic first, but it turns out not only are you a genius at learning magic, but also incredibly talented at teaching students."

  Wow, no way! He's even more arrogant than me. No wonder he's my master. One word - impressive.

  "Master, it seems like I was the genius that day." I asked tentatively.

  "I didn't expect Teacher Di's reaction to be so intense. 'What, you little brat! If it weren't for my Chun Chun egging you on and teaching you carefully, how could you have grasped it so quickly? You, you, you, are really infuriating me!' As soon as he heard my words, he immediately puffed out his chest and glared at me."

  "Yes, yes, it's good that you taught me well, it's good that you taught me well." To comfort the old man for my future life. Just yesterday he told me a story about a good cow, humph.

  "This is almost it, you think carefully for me, I'll go first." Looking at Teacher Di's still fuming figure, I also gave up and didn't care about him anymore. I'd just think my own thoughts. Actually, to sum it up, Teacher Di wasn't bad after all. At least he wouldn't punish me, he just let me think for myself.

  I sat cross-legged on the bed, excluding miscellaneous thoughts, and separated a small portion of the light elements in my body to gather at the upper dantian where only solidified light element balls existed. I slowly relaxed myself, relying solely on spiritual consciousness to drive the aggregation of light elements. The gaseous light elements gradually merged with the already solidified solid-state light elements, not bad, not bad, very good effect!

  My spiritual power hasn't been consumed yet, I added a bit more gas-state light element and let them gather together using the same method, the solid light ball is bigger than yesterday's, okay, time to sleep, I'm exhausted.

  Like this, I spend my days eating and going to the bathroom, just condensing these light elements. When my spiritual energy is depleted, I sleep (automatic meditation). After waking up, my air element will definitely be replenished, and then continue to condense.

  The solid light sphere is getting bigger and bigger, the white light outside my body is also getting stronger and stronger. Teacher Di brings me food every day and takes a look at me without disturbing me at all. This quiet environment is of course the best for meditation.

  Because I was recognized by the element of light and unknowingly grasped the truth of light, the speed at which I gather magical power is quite astonishing.

  Finally, the crucial moment has arrived, and the light element in my body has been fully compressed into a solid state. Now I feel like I'm a part of the light element itself, as if my entire body is composed of it. The light elements throughout my body are transmitting a joyful emotion to me, and I can feel them starting to change.

  The light element, like a solid, began to move slowly and creep, originally feeling very hard, now gradually softening and starting to circulate within me. The color seemed to be getting brighter and brighter, no, the color was changing, the original white light element was turning golden. However, the volume was getting smaller and smaller, finally like a small golden river surrounding my body's meridians, it turned seven circles and condensed into a small golden ball in my upper dantian.

  If someone could see me now, they would find that the white light around me suddenly rushed into my body.

  I feel my whole body filled with warm breath, I try to absorb the light element, but no matter how hard I try, I just can't inhale it. Why is that? Is this another bottleneck?

  I not only feel that I have changed, but the little golden ball inside me seems to be different too. It's as if it has also discovered the change in the light elements within my body and has awakened from its slumber. It gave me a joyful message and then began to absorb the light elements within my body. As it absorbed them, the golden ball started circulating and rotating within my body once again, and I was able to gather light elements once more. So, it turns out that the golden ball itself can absorb energy!

  Xiao Jin absorbs the energy of the golden ball, and the golden ball circulates in my body to replenish its own energy.
