Chapter 3

The discharge procedures were very simple.

Sign a few papers, confirm your departure, and acknowledge that the hospital is no longer responsible for any symptoms, and then you can leave...

The three of them called a hovercraft outside the hospital and flew off into the distance.

Along the way, sitting in the back seat, they looked through the glass at the bizarre and colorful world outside.

There were familiar skyscrapers, and technology still held a significant place in this world. However, there were also many streams of light, colorful and dazzling, each representing a flying sword and a cultivator passing by...

As they passed the square, they saw a huge projection floating in the air, playing what seemed to be a popular TV series. It told a story from ancient times, the era where Su Xian had previously been. However, the plot was somewhat inaccurate, and the customs and culture were completely messed up. Nevertheless, the special effects were top-notch, with spectacular and beautiful fights, truly a masterpiece...

Hmm... perhaps special effects weren't even necessary? Even a newly graduated cultivator at the Spirit Condensation stage could easily do these things...

Watching the agile actors exchange blows, the fights were incredibly splendid. Even a small and cute girl could shatter stones with a single punch. Su Xian suddenly realized that in this world, what was most abundant might be superhumans.

And he himself was now one of them.

This was probably the best gift his predecessor had left him.

Thinking about it...

He raised his finger and tried to control the true essence in his body according to Su Xian's memory, adjusting its frequency and vibration.

The principle of spell casting was very simple.

There were nine levels of spells, and the methods of casting were largely the same. Adjust the frequency of the true essence in your body to a unique rhythm, resonate with the external spiritual energy, and then you can manipulate a portion of the natural spiritual energy for your own use. This is what a spell is. Higher-level spells require hand seals and incantations, making them extremely complex.

But truly talented individuals can greatly shorten the time it takes to adjust, even to the point of instant casting.

Thinking about the definition of spells in his mind, Su Xian slowly adjusted the somewhat uncooperative true essence in his body.

Then, a small flame, like that from a lighter, appeared at the tip of his finger.

Su Xian's eyes lit up, filled with joy!

Although he had the power of true essence flowing through his body and had witnessed supernatural powers, the feeling of truly possessing such power still made him inexplicably excited and thrilled.

In his previous life, he had yearned for something extraordinary, and in this life, he was already destined to be extraordinary.

"Hmm..."

Suddenly, a low sigh came from beside him, tinged with helplessness.

Su Xian, who was still excited, turned his head in confusion and just happened to see Su Tao turn away, leaving him with the back of her head, as if talking to the glass, saying softly, "I know your grades at school aren't very good, but don't be so discouraging to Mom, okay? Thunder Flame is just a first-level spell, though weak, it does have destructive power. You can do it to this extent... Are you trying to light someone's cigarette?"

Su Xian: "……………………………………"

"Is this really that bad?"

He asked.

Su Tao didn't say anything.

Well, it was indeed bad.

Su Xian looked at the flame on his finger and blew it out...

Then, his eyes lit up again as he saw his terminal, where Dian Niang had proactively opened his bookshelf.

On the bookshelf, all the novels he had been following had disappeared, leaving only one book titled "Thunder Flame."

But before... the bookshelf had been empty.

Su Xian's expression changed slightly.

Noticing Su Xian's expression, Yang Wanhuai quickly said, "Alright, Tao Tao, your brother is just not fully recovered yet. Don't discourage him."

"Whether he's in good condition or not doesn't affect the power of true essence," Su Tao said softly, but seeing Su Xian's expression, she wisely stopped talking. Although she looked bored, she clearly cared a lot about her brother.

Dian Niang's reminder made them misunderstand that he was discouraged by Su Tao's words...

Su Xian didn't explain and wasn't angry at Su Tao's sarcasm. After all, he owed her a huge favor for saving his life.

But what was going on with Dian Niang, and this Thunder Flame...

Su Xian's heart burned with a strange excitement, but as he watched the rapidly receding streets and buildings, he didn't open the book at that moment.

The more such a time, the more one needs to stay calm.

The hovercraft took over two hours.

Finally, the car flew into a picturesque neighborhood with the security guards at the checkpoint bowing respectfully.

The green plants were fresh, the flowers were in clusters, and the air was fragrant.

The environment was surprisingly elegant.

Although their family was poor, thanks to the prodigy Su Tao, the principal of Chaoyang High School, in order to win over this excellent student, specially rewarded them with an independent villa in the most prosperous area of the school district.

The Chaoyang school district had array masters using unique methods to set up spirit arrays to gather spiritual energy, making the spiritual energy far more concentrated than in their previous dilapidated slum. Su Tao also knew the principal's intentions. After she was admitted to Tian Shu Academy in advance, Chaoyang High School's status rose accordingly. It was clear that the school would gain more prestige as she progressed further. The principal naturally wanted to give Su Tao more benefits.

For this reason, she didn't refuse the house... at least, practicing here was much faster than in other places.

But if the school gave you a house and tuition, and you still couldn't enter Tian Shu Academy, it would be reasonable for the school to take the house back.

Yang Wanhuai clearly knew this. Looking at the exquisite independent villa with lush morning glories at the door, adding more greenery, she felt a sense of guilt. She picked up Su Xian's luggage from the hospital and said, "Let's go in."

Inside the house...

Three bedrooms and one living room.

Unlike the outside, it was not luxurious but had a simple and elegant feel.

Just as they entered.

It seemed that finally returning to her own territory, Su Tao relaxed a lot. She kicked off her shoes in a rather ungraceful manner, put on cute little pig slippers, and said, "I'm tired, I'm going to rest in my room."

"Tao Tao..."

Yang Wanhuai called out.

"Yes, Mom? What's wrong?"

"Nothing... nothing..."

Yang Wanhuai's face showed a determined look as she said, "Mom found another night shift yesterday. Although the salary isn't high, it adds up to a considerable amount... Don't worry, we still have half a year. In half a year... I will definitely save enough tuition for you."

Su Tao was stunned, her brows furrowed, and she said softly, "Mom, I already have a plan. Don't worry, it's just ten thousand star coins, which isn't a big deal for me. I've grown up, you know. But you, working during the day and taking care of the family, you're already very tired. If you don't get enough rest at night... what about your health? In short... don't worry about it, I have a way."

"Is... is that so? That's good..."

Yang Wanhuai said, her face showing relief. She sighed, "Yes, Tao Tao has grown up."

"So, don't worry, I'm going to do my daily practice now."

In a few steps, Su Tao ran to her room, closed the door, and ignored Su Xian the whole time.

Su Xian didn't say much. The ten thousand star coins were spent on him, and he naturally couldn't be indifferent. However, his understanding of this world was still based on his predecessor's memories, and he had no real sense of it.

How much is the exchange rate between star coins and RMB?

He thought a bit confusedly and said, "Then... I'm going to rest too."

"Okay, go quickly, Xiao Xian. The doctor said you need to rest a lot," Yang Wanhuai said with a loving smile.

Su Xian walked to his room...

But a sense of anticipation welled up in his heart. Dian Niang's spontaneous actions truly gave him endless anticipation. Without further ado, he needed to figure out the differences between his VIP account from ancient times and his modern account.
