Chapter 1 Awakening! Binding Bond System
…………
"Number One, Su Chen!"
In the classroom of Class 8, Grade 1 at Tianlan Magic High School, the homeroom teacher, Xue Musheng, spoke in a serious tone.
"arrive!"
A handsome young man with a clever look in his eyes strode onto the stage.
Su Chen rolled his eyes inwardly: Sixteen years! I've been in this world for sixteen years, a world where even Newton's coffin lid was blown apart by magic! I've finally waited for this day!
As a genuine transmigrator, Su Chen's past sixteen years have been rather frustrating. There was no old man, no personal space, and not even a system panel that made a sound.
If it weren't for his thick skin, which rivals that of the original protagonist Mo Fan, he wouldn't know how he would have survived those tedious nine years of compulsory magic education.
Su Chen glanced at the audience. Mo Fan, sitting in the back row, was winking at him and giving him a thumbs-up. Su Chen smiled and returned a confident look.
Hey bro, wait until I awaken my fire element, then I'll show you how to be awesome and take you flying!
Su Chen took a deep breath and solemnly placed his hand on the floating Awakening Stone in the center of the podium.
As soon as Su Chen closed his eyes, he immediately felt a strange chill creep into his body through his palm, as if a slit had been cut open in the void of his spiritual world.
"God help me, give me a fire element, or at least a wind element, please don't give me a water or light element, I don't want to be a water-spraying turtle or a human flashlight when I'm in the early stages..." Su Chen muttered to himself.
Just then, an extremely domineering light suddenly flashed across his empty mental world!
It wasn't red fire, nor blue wind, but a dazzling purple!
"Crackling sound!!!"
In the real world, a piercingly sharp sound suddenly rang out in the previously quiet classroom!
Before Xue Musheng could react, he saw the Awakening Stone under Su Chen's hand erupt with a dazzling purple light. Immediately afterward, several wild purple arcs of electricity shot out from the Awakening Stone like untamed horses!
"Holy crap!" Su Chen was startled and instinctively tried to pull his hand away, but the force was incredibly domineering.
"Sizzle—Bang!"
An arc of electricity struck the multimedia blackboard next to the podium, causing the screen to explode with sparks and black smoke. Another arc of electricity spread along the ground, scorching the edges of the desks of several students in the front row, who scrambled back in fright.
The fluorescent tube on the classroom ceiling flickered twice, then with a "crack," the light bulb shattered, scattering shards of glass all over the floor.
The entire room fell silent.
Five full seconds passed before Xue Musheng swallowed hard, his voice cracking with excitement: "Lightning... Lightning element!!! It's lightning element!!!"
This single stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the entire Class 8 instantly erupted in chaos!
"Holy crap! Am I blind? Purple light! Is it really lightning?!"
"A one-in-a-thousand chance of a lightning-type attack? This kid's ancestors must be incredibly lucky!"
"Holy crap, that spark almost struck me! That's terrifyingly powerful!"
In the crowd, Mu Bai, who had been sitting upright and maintaining the image of an elegant young nobleman, suddenly clenched his fists, his handsome face slightly contorted. He stared intently at Su Chen on the stage, his eyes filled with disbelief and jealousy!
How is this possible? A commoner with no background has awakened the lightning element?! And he already possesses such overflowing destructive power right after awakening?!
Mo Fan, sitting in the back row, stared wide-eyed, then slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Holy crap! Old Su really pulled off that! He even chopped up the blackboard! Awesome!"
Su Chen stood on the podium, looking at the smoking blackboard and the mess on the floor. Although he was panicking inside, he pretended to be calm on the surface. He even swaggered and blew on his bangs. Basic operation, don't be silly, I'm just that cool.
Just as he was about to give his acceptance speech, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
[Ding! System activation conditions have been met, host has completed magical awakening.]
[The strongest bond binding system is now complete!]
Su Chen's smug smile froze instantly.
system?!
Holy crap! You damn system are sixteen years late! I thought you'd died in the void turbulence!
The system ignored Su Chen's frantic complaints and continued broadcasting:
[The system's functions are as follows: The host can choose their own magic system and bind themselves to a mage at the same level of cultivation.]
[Once the binding is successful, the host's magic level in that element will forever be two minor levels higher than the bound user's!]
Su Chen stood there, stunned, his mind racing.
If I bind myself to someone, will my level always be two levels higher than theirs?
and many more!
There are only three levels of basic magic. If I bind to a level 1 basic mage, wouldn't I be directly at level 3 basic magic?!
Su Chen's gaze suddenly swept towards Mo Fan in the back row, his eyes instantly shining like two 1,000-watt light bulbs.
Who is Mo Fan?
The original protagonist!
A cultivation maniac!
That's the epitome of a cheater!
If I were to bind my lightning element to Mo Fan...
Once he awakens, and then easily binds himself, I can lie in bed and instantly level up to the third level of the initial stage?!
If he cultivates to the second level of the initial stage, wouldn't I be able to break through to the intermediate stage directly?!
"Gulp." Su Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Mo Fan, my good brother! Our friendship of over ten years, and all my cultivation in this life, depends on your efforts!
Don't worry, if anyone dares to bully you in the future, I'll be the first to strike them down with a level three lightning seal! You just focus on your cultivation, and I'll protect you from behind!
"Su Chen! Su Chen?" Xue Musheng excitedly patted Su Chen's shoulder, interrupting his daydreaming. "Well done! You're the first one in this year's class at Tianlan Magic High School to awaken, and a lightning-type one at that! You don't need to pay for the blackboard, the school will cover it! Go down and consolidate your spiritual world!"
"Thank you, teacher!" Su Chen snapped out of his daze and smiled brightly.
He strode down from the podium and walked straight toward Mo Fan amidst the awe, envy, and jealousy of the entire class.
"Old Su, you've been hiding your true strength!" Mo Fan excitedly punched Su Chen in the chest.
Su Chen wrapped his arm around Mo Fan's shoulder and said earnestly, "Fanzi, I owe everything I have today to my hard work. It's your turn soon, so you must awaken your potential and... you must cultivate relentlessly from now on! Don't be lazy. My future... cough, our future depends on you!"
Mo Fan was taken aback by Su Chen's sudden passionate speech. Although he felt something was off, he nodded gratefully, "Don't worry, Lao Su, I'm definitely no worse than you!"
Su Chen laughed wildly in his heart!
Yes, yes, yes!
That's the spirit!
Roll it up!
Roll it up as hard as you can!
