Chapter 9 Actually, I was born with dual systems
"Su Ming, Han Bing is a member of the Han family!!!" Li Xing and the others were shocked and furious. They didn't expect Su Ming to dare to hit Han Bing, who was a member of the Han family. Moreover, Han Bing was a prominent figure in the school. Otherwise, Li Xing wouldn't have become Han Bing's lackey.
Those people wouldn't even think about trying to curry favor with Han Bing.
Li Xing said it, but he didn't move an inch. He wasn't stupid. Su Ming's current state was too oppressive for teenagers who hadn't yet entered society. They were on completely different levels.
"I know he's from the Han family, so what?" Su Ming picked at his ear and said impatiently.
Before becoming a magician, Su Ming was somewhat afraid of the Han family, but after becoming a magician, what was there to be afraid of? Moreover, Han Bing was just an outer member of the Han family, and his uncle was not the leader of the Han family.
Offending Han Bing wouldn't be enough to offend the Han family. The head of the Han family might not even know that Han Bing exists in the family.
"Su Ming, you'll regret this!" Han Bing gritted her teeth, waved her hand, and left the private room. Several of her followers quickly followed after their master.
"Remember to pay the bill, I don't have that much money." Su Ming shouted from behind, while Han Bing left without saying a word.
Han Bing's move was within his expectations.
He had only just gained control of five stars. The difficulty of controlling the last two stars increased exponentially, and even if a member of the Han family possessed resources that ordinary people lacked, he could not easily control them.
The mage who controls the five stars is only slightly stronger than an ordinary person.
In terms of strength, Han Bing couldn't even match Su Ming, so it was understandable that she left in anger.
"Wow, so handsome!" Jiang Shaoxu deliberately made a very loud noise, acting like a little fangirl who was completely captivated by Su Mingying's handsome appearance.
"Boss, will everything be alright? After all, it's the Han family. Even if it's not officially a targeting of you, they might get you expelled from school next semester through the school authorities," Liu Qi said worriedly.
"Do you think I'd get expelled if I controlled three stars?"
Liu Qi replied without hesitation, "Definitely not. Boss, you're a space-age expert. Even if you only master one new house, you won't be expelled. But..."
"But, boss, it's been almost half a year and you haven't controlled a single star. I feel it will be difficult for you to control a star in the next six months. If the Han family makes trouble then, it will be all over."
"Don't worry, it's just a star, it's nothing." Su Ming patted Liu Qi on the shoulder, indicating that he didn't need anything from him.
Then, looking at the other people in the private room, the room seemed rather deserted after Han Bing and the others left, and no one spoke.
"You all start eating! Why are you all staring at me? The Marriott Hotel isn't cheap. You have to eat until you're stuffed."
Su Ming was the first to pick up his chopsticks and wolf down his food.
Everyone else also picked up food, but not as much as Su Ming.
It's hard to imagine that this person who's going to eat rice tomorrow just got frozen.
Hanbing has already mastered five stars and will soon become a true mage. At that time, who will not give her face?
Offending him now is not a wise move. With Han Bing's talent and the resources of the Han family, Han Bing is arguably the most likely person in the entire school to become a mid-level mage or even a high-level mage.
People are too busy trying to curry favor with such a great magician to even think about offending him.
Although no one spoke, they all lowered their opinion of Su Ming and planned to have less contact with him in the future.
"How is it? Handsome or not?" Su Ming, quite vain, approached Jiang Shaoxu.
It's winter break now, and Jiang Shaoxu is wearing her own clothes, which perfectly show off her figure. It's snowing now and the weather is cold, but Jiang Shaoxu isn't wearing a bulky cotton-padded coat. Perhaps it's because of her magician's constitution, but Jiang Shaoxu doesn't seem to feel cold.
She had a pleasant fragrance about her, though it was hard to tell if it was her natural scent or perfume, which made one's imagination run wild.
"Not really, I thought you could use magic." Jiang Shaoxu pouted, looking bored.
Su Ming felt a little embarrassed. He remembered that when he lent him the soul-repairing vessel, he had opened his crotch and was going to show magic during the New Year. In Jiang Shaoxu's eyes, he was a space-type magic user, so naturally he had to show space-type magic.
Now I can use magic, but it's summoning magic, not spatial magic.
The Space System still doesn't control a single star.
How long until Chinese New Year?
All in all, it's less than a month. Even with the foundation to control star particles, controlling the space system is not something that can be accomplished in a month.
This already meant he was destined to break his promise.
Su Ming suddenly said mysteriously, "Let me tell you a secret... I have another element, and that other element can already cast magic."
"Really?" Jiang Shaoxu was somewhat skeptical. "Show me a spell, or you're just lying to me."
"There are a lot of people here. I'll show you when there are fewer people."
"Okay." Jiang Shaoxu thought for a moment and nodded. She thought Su Ming was just saying that to save face.
She had never heard of two different systems where a highly talented mage possessed innate abilities.
Most of those innate talents are strange and unusual, but I've never heard of anyone possessing two elements at the initial awakening stage.
Why do magic academies require magic awakening at the age of sixteen or seventeen?
You awakened earlier, cultivated earlier, and became a magician earlier.
The people in the Magic Association didn't not want to, but they couldn't. Before the age of sixteen, a human's soul strength was not strong enough to withstand the damage brought about by magical awakening.
The consequences range from mild coma to direct death; these are all bloody stories that have happened. Some people, in their eagerness for their children to get ahead, have ended up damaging their souls and preventing them from becoming magicians, resulting in children falling into a coma and becoming vegetative.
Awakening two elements is certainly possible, but that's only after becoming a mid-level mage. Once you become a mid-level mage, the stardust turns into a nebula, and your soul strength greatly increases. Only at that point can you withstand two elements.
This is why innate talents are rare and unusual, but it's unheard of for anyone to possess two elements at the initial stage, a burden the soul cannot bear.
The meal was somewhat awkward. The host, Han Bing, was nowhere to be seen, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Only Su Ming was eating with great effort.
Su Ming devoured most of the dishes on the table.
After finishing his meal, Su Ming leaned back in his chair to digest, using a toothpick to remove any remaining meat scraps from between his teeth, thoroughly enjoying himself.
"Su Ming, I need to go back to cultivate, so I'll be leaving now," Zhou Qiong said, standing up.
The purpose of this gathering was for Hanbing to win them over. Everyone knew that the people present were all from humble backgrounds, and it would be better to join a large family. Even if they couldn't enter the core, it would still be better than struggling on their own.
Han Bing left long ago, so this plan naturally fell through. We can only wait and see if there will be another opportunity in the future.
The people present were somewhat disappointed that their plan to join the powerful family had failed. It was all because of Su Ming, but they didn't dare to cause trouble for Su Ming, at least not now. They could only keep their dissatisfaction to themselves.
Zhou Qiong started the conversation, and the others gradually said goodbye, leaving only Su Ming, Jiang Shaoxu, Liu Qi, and Jiang Shaoxu's best friend, Bai Zinuo, in the room.
"Now that there's no one around, how about you show me?" Jiang Shaoxu looked at Su Ming with a grin.
"What are you showing off?" Bai Zinuo asked curiously. Su Ming was a big celebrity at school. His kick to Han Bing was very cool, but unfortunately he was a useless person who couldn't even control a single star.
In the eyes of mages, even if they were apprentice mages, Su Ming's actions seemed like petty thugs fighting each other, which was quite ridiculous.
Liu Qi walked over and said, "Boss, I'm going back first. I haven't cultivated yet today. I need to hurry up and control the star, and then see if I can plead with the school."
"See? You should learn from Liu Qi. He's worked so hard, and you haven't mastered a single star and are just doing nothing every day." Jiang Shaoxu was exasperated. She had even given him the soul-cultivating vessel, but after so much time, he still hadn't mastered a single star.
Jiang Shaoxu was furious; he had just tried to fool her by mentioning two departments.
"I'm working really hard, okay? You don't even live with me, how do you know I'm not working hard?" Su Ming didn't care about Jiang Shaoxu's words at all; only he knew how hard he worked.
He can cast magic and has even contracted a summoned beast; he's a genius anywhere.
If Jiang Shaoxu doesn't believe it, so be it. She'll find out eventually when the time comes; there's no rush.
"How many stars do you control?"
"Six, almost seven! It won't be long before we can unleash the magic, right, Shaoxu?" Bai Zinuo answered first, very excited, as if it were her own.
"Impressive, impressive," Su Ming replied dismissively.
Thinking to himself, Jiang Shaoxu was the most talented person in the school. She had only mastered six stars, while he could already cast magic.
Looking at myself like this, I realize I'm really awesome.
