Chapter Eighty-Seven: Elemental Mysteries

  Morning, hotel patio of Castro's luxurious suite.

  Xiao Chen sat quietly on a jade stone platform, wearing only a loose-fitting pants, his entire upper body bare, with muscles that were not particularly robust but had smooth lines. His skin, like jade, flowed with a warm luster, and the morning dew condensed into ice crystal beads on his skin. He had been sitting here for an entire night, motionless. If it weren't for the occasional breeze that would slightly lift his long hair, others would definitely mistake him for a large marble statue.

  Wind, nature.

  Xiao Chen felt the breath of the wind between heaven and earth.

  From breaking through the closed door to the beginning of the Seven Star Technique, his understanding of the wind began to truly enter a new level.

  Seven Stars, representing the high level, representing the true threshold of cultivation. If placed outside, it is already a high-ranking master, and the instructor of the outer courtyard is only a high-level law enforcement officer.

  It's not that easy to comprehend, with over a million students in the outer institute, only a handful can reach the advanced level and enter the inner institute every year. If it weren't for Xiao Chen having spiritual power comparable to a law master, possessing a nine-star law master's soul guidance, and having unlimited mid-grade law crystals supplied by the Kastor Merchant Alliance, he wouldn't have been able to break through in just one short month.

  Countless people can't reach this height in their lifetime.

  But for Xiao Chen, this was just the beginning.

  Golden eyeballs, the terrifying divine power, the previous life's dominance of the world, but was besieged by the Kunlun Sect's grand formation, and his physical body fell... Various scenes flashed through his mind.

  Strength, only boundless strength can break through all constraints, follow one's heart and be forever free.

  Free!

  Yes, wind, unrestrained and free!

  Xiao Chen suddenly had some epiphany! His spirit communicated with the wind in the vastness.

  His body surface, wind, silent rotation, those wind elements in his body inside and outside wandering, flesh and blood as if merged with the wind, no boundaries at all.

  Gradually, his body slowly floated up...

  "What!" Denox stared at him, disbelieving his eyes.

  Xiao Chen still had his eyes closed, as if he was immersed in a special realm. His body slowly stretched out in the wind, sometimes curled up, sometimes stretching out his legs, and sometimes shrinking back, like a fetus in its mother's womb...

  No awkwardness, no conflict, only endless comfort, natural, unrestrained...

  Even Knox wouldn't have noticed Xiao Chen's existence if he hadn't been paying attention...

  "This is... the legendary... enlightenment..." Denoix muttered in bewilderment.

  Due to this unusual situation, even he, an old antique, has never seen it before, and can only see a few words or phrases from some ancient books.

  This state lasted for a full ten minutes, when suddenly, Xiao Chen furrowed his brow, opened his eyes, and fell from the air. He supported himself with one hand on the ground, flipped over, and stood up steadily.

  "I just... " Xiao Chen's heart was filled with a sense of confusion, what had just happened, he couldn't even remember, but he could feel that the state he was in earlier was very comfortable and carefree, and even had a hint of the freedom and ease he had always yearned for.

  "Ah, this wind..." He just made a casual move, and felt the rotation of the wind around him, with a particularly familiar feeling.

  He stretched out one finger, a point of green light condensed on the tip, gradually swirling and growing, branching out, and several green wind leaves appeared at the end. A budding wind flower bone was quietly blooming with his intention, becoming a fully bloomed wind-colored peony. With a slight shake, the petals fell down with the wind, fluttering and floating in mid-air, flying and swirling, quietly transforming into countless wind elements, merging into the wind...

  All of this is vivid and lifelike, just like magic.

  "Awesome......" Denox stared blankly, without saying Xiao Chen's strength, just this wind control method was unbelievable.

  "Is this what they mean by epiphany? It's no longer just on the surface but has started to touch the subtlety of the wind."

  Denoix, this old antique, has lived for hundreds of years, with extraordinary insight and profound understanding. Ordinary lawmen, law masters, and magic researchers only stop at manipulation and calculation... merely superficial applications, unable to comprehend the true essence of magic.

  Various magics, in order are Epiphany, Elemental Application, Elemental Mystery, Elemental Theorem...

  Ordinary people can spend their entire lives stuck in the stage of elemental application, even if they themselves are a 9-star mage.

  Only those who can touch the realm of the mysterious and profound are geniuses born with a special gift, one in tens of millions.

  Because that represents you truly initially grasping the essence of magic, people who can comprehend the mysteries are cultivating much faster than ordinary people, in the future, at least they can become a strong Grandmaster or even a powerful Law Domain master, all of whom are good at comprehending the mysteries.

  That is to say, Xiao Chen, in the future, has a glimmer of hope to become a Law Enforcer, although this hope now seems very slim, just a tiny seed, but it's already incredibly remarkable. At least DeNoX understood that he wouldn't have even that tiny bit of hope in his lifetime, not even a thread.

  "Master..." Deno now is truly obedient.

  Even if he were to break free from the shackles of his contract with his master now, he might still not leave easily.

  Xiao Chen's talent deeply shocked him.

  A destined-to-be great master-level powerhouse, possibly even a terrifying genius of the Law Domain, is as rare and precious as a grain of sand in the vast ocean.

  At this time, Xiao Chen did not know that he had already touched the threshold of a mysterious and profound realm. Behind this threshold lay powerful forces that could summon the winds and rains, destroy the heavens and annihilate the earth.

  He just felt that his ability to use elements had greatly increased, and he also felt the "freedom" of the wind.

  The next few days, Xiao Chen continued to cultivate.

  However, the focus is not on enhancing magical powers.

  After his promotion to Seven Star Law Enforcement Officer, the role of intermediate law crystal is no longer significant. Low-level law crystals correspond to low-level law enforcement officers, intermediate law crystals correspond to intermediate law enforcement officers, and if he continues to cultivate, he will need high-level law crystals. After all, after reaching a higher level, the cultivation speed slows down, and many people may not be able to cross this huge threshold of law enforcement in their lifetime.

  Lawyer, too strong, enough to create civilization, create a country.

  So he focused on feeling, and since that day when the mysterious and unrestrained state appeared, he seemed to have vaguely known something, but that little bit was like a flower in the fog, a moon in the water, difficult to see clearly, difficult to touch, very frustrating.

  Until Denoix told him it might be an elemental mystery...

  As for the content of Elemental Mysteries, it's too rare, even the Tianxing Academy can't have it. After all, only a Grandmaster can touch it, and only a Law Master can truly grasp this supreme law gate.

  It has transcended mere power and become a state of being.

  So, all of Xiao Chen's actions require him to grope his way forward like a blind man crossing a river.

  "Mysterious and profound, sudden enlightenment is too hard to attain..." Xiaochen tried for several days, but still couldn't enter that state of sudden enlightenment again.

  It's rare to have a sudden enlightenment, that kind of "free" state, if you can easily enter it, then it means he has grasped the mystery of the wind... Of course, this is impossible, and it won't be that easy.

  However, as soon as this thread of threshold, skin and hair was touched, Xiao Chen had absolute confidence that he could grasp this mystery.

  Xiao Chen was cultivating when his door was knocked open.

  At the door stood Galoshuo.

  "How did you get here?" Xiao Chen stepped aside and let her in.

  "You haven't even left yet..." Galois Xue saw Xiao Chen's appearance and felt it.

  Xiao Chen nodded.

  "You really are." Galoshuo shook her head, she had never seen anyone so crazy about practicing, anyway since she knew Xiao Chen, it was always practice, practice, and she had never seen him have any entertainment.

  For a noble young master like Xiao Chen's age, who isn't indulging in pleasures and leisure, even those high-achieving students in the academy often come out to relax.

  Anyway, going out doesn't have anything to do. At the academy with that group of little brats, Xiao Chen wasn't so bored.

  "I've told you, Instructor Aksu has been looking for you many times, but I didn't tell him you lived here." Galois smiled helplessly: "But you have to go today, it's the mid-term assessment, very important."

  Is there an assessment?

  It's finally here, Xiao Chen has been waiting for a long time too, he's fed up with staying in the academy.

  After a brief rest, Xiao Chen and Jia Luo Xue came downstairs, got on the carriage, and headed towards the outer courtyard.

  After entering the outer courtyard, the horse carriage felt quiet on the road. Galoshan said: "Now everyone has gone to the assessment venue, Xiao Chen, are you really... okay?"

  Galo's face showed some worry, she was truly worried, this feeling was strange, without any self-interest, only pure worry, Xiao Chen had been absent from school for so many days, if his grades were not good, it would be terrible, the discipline of the college was not to be trifled with.

  "Don't worry." Xiao Chen smiled faintly.

  Galo's heart slightly calmed down as the horse carriage entered a small path. In front of them, a building gradually appeared.

  "We, the A-class students, are evaluated separately from B and C classes because only we have the right to take the assessment to enter the Intermediate Magic Department." Galois pointed forward.

  It stopped in front of a huge building, where the sound of people's voices was already faintly audible inside.

  "This time, students from the four major divisions of earth, fire, wind and water, including those from Class A, have all come here for assessment. There are quite a few thousand people." The two got off the carriage, with Galuo Xue telling Xiao Chen some key points about the assessment.

  As I walked into the building, the sound waves suddenly became enormous.

  In a very large venue, people are crowded together, densely packed, with students wearing uniforms from various departments and schools.

  Galo Xue and Xiao Chen walked in, instantly attracting the attention of many students.

  Firstly, they were the last to arrive. Secondly, Galois Snow, the goddess of this Wind Department, had countless pursuers and admirers within the academy.
