Chapter 20

"Indeed, today is a very important day for Tianlan High School. Coincidentally, Ningxue has returned from her summer vacation at the Imperial Academy. I discussed with the Clan Leader and invited her, the banner of Bocheng, to give a speech at Tianlan Magic High School. At the same time, we will show her our annual assessment to evaluate the quality of this year's students," Mu He said.

Mu He, looking at the spirited appearance of this young Mu Bai, naturally knew what he was thinking. He patted Mu Bai's shoulder with a chuckle and said, "Don't worry, when it's your turn for the assessment, I'll guide her to watch. She will come, and the Clan Leader will come too. If the Clan Leader sees how hard you work, he might allocate more resources to your family. You should know how many descendants we have in our clan, and the outstanding ones are as numerous as cattle. If you can be favored by the Clan Leader and get the Star Dust Magic Tool for a few months, it will be greatly beneficial to you!"

"Star... Star Dust Magic Tool, really? I also have a chance to be allocated the Star Dust Magic Tool??" Mu Bai's eyes sparkled.

"Of course. Do you think why we are different from civilian mages? Superior genes? Family influence? No matter how good these things are, they can't compare to the Star Dust Magic Tool! If you can become a core disciple of the family, you will be allocated the Star Dust Magic Tool, and your cultivation will definitely surpass all the students in the school!" Mu He said.

"Uncle, I... I will definitely perform well!"

Surpass all the students in the school!!

Mu Bai was completely fired up. No wonder those family descendants were like madmen in their cultivation; it was all for the Star Dust Magic Tool.

Every mage's cultivation time is limited. For apprentices like them, five hours of meditation is the limit, and the remaining time can only be used for learning theory and knowledge.

The Star Dust Magic Tool is the most sought-after nourishing tool for all mages.

Mu Bai didn't know the principle of the Star Dust Magic Tool, but he knew that it could quickly restore the energy of a cultivator after they became tired from cultivation, effectively shortening the fatigue period.

Generally, after five hours of meditation in a day, the remaining 19 hours are mostly spent on other activities.

These 19 hours are the fatigue period of meditation, and one can only pass the time by doing other things or sleeping.

For many students who want to advance further, these 19 hours of fatigue are really too long, yet they are helpless. After a person's mind is highly concentrated, they need a longer time to relax their nerves; otherwise, their mind will collapse.

However, the Star Dust Magic Tool is a cultivation divine tool that can shorten the fatigue period.

Shortening the fatigue period of meditation is equivalent to extending the daily meditation time!

One or two days might not show much effect, but after one or two months, it will create a significant gap compared to those without the Star Dust Magic Tool. If it's for two or three months, or even longer, it will truly surpass peers by several streets!

The efficiency of meditation varies from person to person, some are fast, some are slow, but that's not the main concern. With the Star Dust Magic Tool, even those with extremely low efficiency can lead at the front. For those with good talent and hard work, it will be even more effective!

"Uncle, you said before that the top students in the advanced class have a chance to be allocated the Star Dust Magic Tool, is that true?" Mu Bai asked, somewhat excited.

"Yes, since it's a school, there are naturally some cultivation resources. However, the school's resources are very limited. With so many students in the school, giving each one a day's use is as good as nothing. Therefore, there must be an annual assessment, and only the top students in the advanced class are eligible to be allocated the Star Dust Magic Tool for a certain period. With your grades, getting into the advanced class is definitely not a problem. At that time, I can use a little trick to let you hold the school's Star Dust Magic Tool for a bit longer, which will be very beneficial to you. The school is a fair place, and I can't do too much. The real leap for you will be the Star Dust Magic Tool of the Mu family, a resource that civilian mages can never obtain in their lifetime. So, you must cherish it," Mu He said earnestly to Mu Bai.

"Don't worry, Uncle, I won't let you down."

"Talking to me is no use; you need to perform well in front of Ningxue and the Clan Leader!" Mu He patted Mu Bai's shoulder.

Mu Bai nodded heavily, and a cold smile appeared in his heart: Xu Zhaoting, what can you do now that your cultivation is on par with mine? What can you do with your lightning affinity? I have the vast Mu family behind me, and you can never compete with me in your lifetime!

"By the way, how is that boy named Mo Fan?" Mu He suddenly remembered something, like recalling a beggar he reluctantly gave money to on the street, just a casual question.

"A waste of space, he will definitely be expelled from the school." Mu Bai had no need to hide his disdain for Mo Fan at this moment.

Mu Bai deeply despised Mo Fan.

Although they all grew up in the same area when they were young, Mo Fan always had a group of people following him wherever he went, like a monkey king. What Mu Bai couldn't understand at all was that the incomparably noble Ningxue would also hang out with them and be very close to them.

What was he, running around the streets and mountains every day like a wild monkey, exuding a lowly aura?

Did he understand what true power was, what status and position meant, or what it was to be poor and ridiculed all his life?

The son of a servant, lowly and ignorant, had no idea what foresight or ambition meant. He found joy in struggling in his slums and dirty alleys.

"Alright, I'll sign him off. I've also given an explanation to the Mo family. It's not that I didn't help, but his son is indeed a fool. Even with the opportunity to awaken, he can't become a mage. Sigh, many people just don't know when to stop and waste money on futile attempts. The problem is, you are the one who is hopeless, hoping your son can leap over the dragon gate? Poverty and incompetence are passed down through generations," Mu He said slowly, smoking a cigarette.

At this moment, Mu He's half-closed eyes resembled those of a noble and elegant old fox, revealing disdain and ridicule for the lowly skunk.
