My Divine Diarychapter 518

Su Hao followed the two people to the desolate valley.

Ah Xing and Ah Wang stood on a rock, letting the cold wind blow their hair freely.

Ah Xing turned his head to look at Su Hao, surprised, and said, “Ah Yang, come up here!”

It’s not that Su Hao didn’t want to go up, but the posture of these two people was too ridiculous, not matching his temperament.

But Su Hao didn’t make a fuss either. With a leap, he stood beside the two and said, “It is said that I awakened as a Mage of the Elemental Explosion, but I have not tried casting spells.”

Ah Xing chuckled and said, “With mine and Ah Wang’s abilities, it’s a perfect complement. Casting spells is not difficult, but it’s not simple either; it’s all about practice. Ah Yang, do you have a source?”

Su Hao took out the ancient pearl given to him by Gu Yin and said, “Is this what you mean by source?”

Ah Xing exclaimed, “Indeed, and this source pearl has a very high purity. However, this source pearl is not suitable for beginners. I’ll give you one later!”

He took out a dimmer source pearl and said, “Casting spells is actually about guiding the source within the source pearl and releasing it in a special way. Each Mage has their own unique view of the source, so casting methods are generally different. However, there is a similar step, which is to guide the source out of the source pearl. Just like this…”

With that, the source pearl in Ah Xing’s hand glowed faintly, and a misty source was guided out, winding around his palm, gradually fading and disappearing.

Ah Xing waved his hand vigorously towards the distance.

An invisible ripple spread out silently.

The next moment, a large rock in the distance made a “crack” sound and slowly slid to the side.

A large rock, separated by a hundred meters, was actually split in half by Ah Xing’s wave.

Su Hao sincerely praised, “Impressive!”

Ah Xing laughed heartily with his hands on his hips, then said, “It’s not just that. Watch this.”

Another strand of source was drawn out, wrapped around his hand, and then disappeared. Ah Xing reached out and grabbed the rock that had been chopped off to the side, which visibly expanded and then burst into a pile of fragments.

Before Su Hao could even praise him, Ah Xing laughed and said, “How about that, aren’t we powerful Elemental Mages? Invisible and unstoppable.”

Then he asked, “Ah Yang, did you notice anything from my two spells?”

Su Hao shook his head appreciatively.

Ah Xing continued, “The first step is guiding, the second step is transformation, and the third step is casting. Guiding is the hardest to practice, transformation is the most dangerous, and casting is the most strenuous.”

Su Hao asked, “What should I do?”

Ah Xing smiled and said, “The source contained in your source pearl is too much for practice; it’s not suitable. Keep it aside. Use this low-level source pearl of mine!”

With that, he handed his source pearl to Su Hao.

“Every awakened Mage, as if by instinct, has mastered the method of transforming the source. What I want to teach you is the coordination of guiding, transforming, and casting…”

Ah Xing explained the precautions and process of casting spells to Su Hao.

Su Hao quickly grasped the key point of releasing spells, which is the “semi-transformation state”!

The transformation of the source is not completed instantaneously but goes through a process. The crucial point is to control the spiritual power to brake before the complete transformation of the source, then merge a part of the spiritual power and release it. Spiritual power can control the outbreak of the source at any time to achieve the effect of the spell.

In essence, casting a spell consumes a part of spiritual power each time, and if the spiritual power is insufficient, it cannot continue.

The strength of a Origin Mage fundamentally depends on the strength of their spiritual power.

And the level of a Origin Mage also depends on the intensity of their spiritual power.

Su Hao thought to himself, “I wonder what level my spiritual power is among Origin Mages.”

Ah Xing smiled and said, “So, completing the casting of a spell is not easy, let alone using it in battle. It requires a lot of time for practice.”

Su Hao nodded understandingly and then asked, “Can I try it now?”

Ah Xing smiled and said, “Of course. Ah Yang, remember, you can only draw out a tiny bit of source, not more, and you must follow the sequence step by step, otherwise, it’s very dangerous.

You see, every year, many people mess around without following the steps and end up wasting themselves. I don’t want you to be one of them, understand?”

Su Hao nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Ah Xing, I cherish this life more than anyone else.”

In fact, Su Hao didn’t need Ah Xing’s reminder; he understood the ferocity and danger of the ‘source’ himself. With just one slight mistake, the fragile body could be torn into pieces.

What made him curious was that it seemed the source appeared differently in everyone’s perception.

Su Hao sensed the ferocious explosive force, Gu Yin sensed the stable aggregation of matter, Ah Xing sensed the elusive gas, Ah Wang sensed the malleable mud…

It was a strange feeling that couldn’t be described.

Su Hao looked at the source pearl in his hand, gathered his mind, followed Ah Xing’s method, and infiltrated the spiritual power into it, drawing out a thread-like misty source, gathering it on his fingertips.

Next was merging a bit of spiritual power and transforming it into a ‘semi-explosive’ state.

This smooth operation left Ah Xing and Ah Wang stunned.

This isn’t right! Is this the operation of a novice? Why does it seem more skilled than us old birds?

They simultaneously raised their vigilance, prepared to act immediately to save Su Hao if there were any signs of loss of control.

Su Hao opened his eyes and looked curiously at the small white light ball floating on his fingertip, thinking to himself, “It looks like ‘Wind Blast’, doesn’t it?”

It seems similar, but the difference in essence is huge; one is energy derived from spiritual power conversion, and the other is energy derived from ‘source’ conversion.

As for what the source really is, Su Hao still wasn’t clear.

So, next is to release it, lock onto the target, and throw out this energy ball!

In the previous world, Su Hao was most proficient in the Wind Blast technique. The principle of projecting the energy ball should be similar.

After a moment of contemplation, he used his spiritual power to guide the slight structural changes in the energy ball at his fingertips, then extended his hand towards the distant half-cut rock.

“Shoo—”

A white laser shot out from Su Hao’s fingertips, connecting with the giant rock. At the same time, Su Hao merged the spiritual power of the source, guiding the complete transformation of the source, releasing the violent energy inside.

“Boom—”

A violent shock transmitted through the stone to the feet of the three, a spherical white light flashed for an instant, then expanded and burst, a shockwave hit them head-on, making the three instinctively shield their eyes with their hands. Then a large number of rocks splashed, hitting them and catching the three off guard.

As the waves subsided, they slowly lowered their hands and immediately looked at the previous location of the rock.

Where was the original stone? There was only a large pit with a diameter of two to three meters left.

Ah Xing and Ah Wang looked at each other, unable to say a word at this moment.

Who has ever succeeded in casting spells for the first time? Perhaps a super genius could, but casting so smoothly and naturally, it was a bit too much!

The most crucial thing was that although Su Hao was called a ‘Mage of the Explosion Source,’ the power of this explosion was a bit outrageous.

They could see clearly how much source Su Hao had guided out from the source pearl. It was just that tiny bit, not even noticeable without careful observation.

But who could tell them how such a tiny bit of source could erupt with such tremendous power?

Even Su Hao appeared very surprised by this power. Although he knew that the energy contained in the source was very high, much higher than spiritual power, he did not expect that just this tiny bit could erupt with such powerful force.

Su Hao asked, “Is this considered a success?”

Ah Xing forced out a smile and said, “Of course!”

Su Hao asked again, “What’s next?”

Ah Xing smoothed his windblown hair and said, “Ah Yang, you need to practice repeatedly first. When you can cast spells proficiently, then we’ll teach you how to fight. Casting spells and fighting are two different things!”

Ah Wang also nodded and said, “That’s right. Your attack power is indeed strong, but if you can’t hit the target, it’s useless. On the contrary, others’ attack power may not be strong, but if you get hit once, it could cost you your life.”

Su Hao nodded and said, “Okay.”
