The blue sky was as clear as water, and a cool breeze blew across his face.

Yan Lan Dukedom, Green Magic Academy.

Students dressed in mage robes walked together and talked loudly.

On their faces hung the pride of being a mage!

A man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes stood alone, looking out of place.

He was dressed in a monotonous white robe, which was completely different from a gorgeous mage robe!

Obviously, he was not a mage yet!

His appearance attracted a wave of ridicule.

“Look, it’s Lin Ming again! It’s been three years, and he’s still only a dabbler, a Tier 1 Mage…”

“If his grandfather wasn’t a Tier 4 Mage, I’m afraid he wouldn’t even be able to enter the Green Magic Academy!”

“Humph! His grandfather is about to die. After his death, his noble identity will be taken back, even the manor and castle will be taken back as well. It won’t be long before Lin Ming becomes a pauper!”

“Who knows, Lin Ming might become a Tier 4 Mage and be able to maintain his status as a noble family!”

“Then I’d rather believe that a pie will fall from the sky!”

Hearing their sarcastic words.

Lin Ming sneered.

He had transmigrated here for three years and used his family status to become a student of the Green Magic Academy.

He had thought that his future was bright!

But the reality was completely different.

Lin Ming’s affinity with the elements and his ability to construct magic could be said to be a mess!

The affinity with the elements was the ability of a mage to accumulate magic power, and the ability to construct magic was the ability to control magic skills!

The two complemented each other, and for a mage, one could not be missing!

In three years, Lin Ming, who was of the fire attribute.

Could only condense a small flame that could light a cigarette!

But he did not give up. He trained hard every day.

Being ridiculed by others in the training ground, he trained alone in the back mountain of the academy.

“Brother Lin Ming, going for training again?”

“Go! Go! Go! I believe you will definitely succeed!”

“Brother Lin Ming, don’t take it to heart to what those people say. They are just envious of your good look!”

The moment they walked out of the academy, several beautiful women greeted Lin Ming one after another!

He was not only the number one trash in the academy!

He was also publicly acknowledged as the most handsome man in the academy!

Indeed, his handsomeness was unparalleled..

However, Lin Ming clearly knew that in this world, the strong preyed on the weak. A good-looking skin could not allow him to live his life in peace.

The strong were the truth of the world!

Lin Ming smiled at the few female students with admiring eyes and rushed to the back of the mountain.

Back mountain of the academy.

The dense shade covered the sun, very few people came here.

Lin Ming stood on the cliff and stared at the lake below.

He closed his eyes slightly and sensed the energy around him.

At this moment, he could clearly sense that there were many shining red light spots around him.

Those were fire elementals.

“Fireball Spell!”

Lin Ming shouted in a deep voice. A mysterious energy was mobilizing the fire elementals around him.

Puff!

With a muffled sound, Lin Ming secretly glanced at his right palm.

He saw a cluster of weak flames flickering.

He clenched his right hand tightly. The flames disappeared and a piercing pain came from his palm.

However, Lin Ming only frowned slightly!

“Today is the third year of my transmigration. Is this the end of my life?”

Lin Ming squeezed out these words from the corner of his mouth.

The current him could not even master a Tier 1 spell!

Unreconciled!

Very unreconciled!

“Ding, the three-year deadline has passed. Supreme skill system is beginning to load…”

“Ding, unknown reason, system has a bug…”

“Bug repair completed, remaining skill points: Max!”

In his mind, the mechanical voice sounded.

“System?”

Lin Ming was overjoyed. As an old bookworm in his previous life, he had a good understanding of the system.

Soon after.

A skill panel appeared in his mind.

There was only one skill, Fireball Spell, but with a + sign behind it.

It was very eye-catching!

Lin Ming did not hesitate and clicked the + sign in his mind.

“Ding, your Fireball Spell mastery has increased. Current level is beginner (Level 1)!”

“Beginner?”

Lin Ming was overjoyed. Fireball Spell was a Tier 1 magic, and he could train it to beginner (Level 1).

That meant that he was no longer a half-baked Tier 1 Mage!

Then!

Lin Ming’s eyes lit up, and he did not enter a meditative state like before.

He only thought about it on purpose.

A scorching fireball appeared in his palm.

He threw it with all his might, and the fireball accurately shot towards the lake water below.

Splash…

A wave was created on the surface of the water.

At this moment, Lin Ming finally understood the benefits of the system.

As long as he levelled up his skill, he would be able to grasp it perfectly!

Moreover, due to the system bug, his skill points were unlimited!

Surprise, an incomparable surprise!

In the past three years, this was the first time Lin Ming was so happy!

In a flash.

“Ding, your Fireball Spell mastery has increased. Current level is master (Level 3)!”

Lin Ming condensed another fireball that was the size of a basketball. It was even emitting traces of blue flames as it appeared.

Moreover, he found that only the process of generating the fireball consumed mana.

Maintaining the fireball didn’t consume mana at all.

“Oh my god, it’s so simple!”

“So, as long as I level up, I can become stronger?”

Lin Ming couldn’t help but exclaim.

A smile appeared on his face, and he focused his attention on the skill panel again.

“Ding, your Fireball Spell mastery has been increased. Current level is major accomplishment (Level 5)! ”

“…”

“Ding, your Fireball Spell mastery has increased. Your current level is major accomplishment (Level 6!)”

“System notification: Do not overindulge!”

“Can this be called overindulgence after holding it in for three years?”

“Ding, your Fireball Spell mastery has increased. Your current level is complete (Level 7!)”

“…”

“Ding, your Fireball Spell mastery has increased. Your current level is sublimated (Level 9!)”

“Congratulations on your self-learning and comprehension of the ‘Law of fire explosion’. Your Fireball Spell mastery has reached the law (Level 10!) and has been transformed into a forbidden spell– Dark Yang Explosion!”

After a series of joyful operations, he saw that the + sign had stopped moving!

Lin Ming then stopped in satisfaction.

“Law of fire explosion — Dark Yang Explosion?”

“Let me see how strong it is!”

Lin Ming’s eyes were filled with ecstasy. The others needed tens of thousands of practice to cultivate their spells from beginner to great success!

But he had comprehended the law in such a short time?

Lin Ming mobilized all the magic power in his body and started to condense — Dark Yang Explosion!

In an instant.

He felt his whole body suddenly become weak and all the magic power in his body was drained!

He couldn’t help but start to stagger.

And in his palm, a black gem-like and the size of an egg energy ball appeared!

It was pitch-black and kept spinning!

It contained an extremely terrifying energy.

“This is the black flame!”

Even though Lin Ming was extremely weak, when he saw the black flame in his hand, his eyes could not help but flash with excitement!

The next moment.

Lin Ming’s body went limp, and the energy ball in his hand fell to the lake water below.

“Phew, it’s been three years! Three years!”

Lin Ming lay weakly on the ground, his eyes shining with a fiery light!

He also understood what it meant to overindulge!

Boom!

A loud sound was heard, and the birds flew away in shock!

The entire cliff shook non-stop, and even the lake water below surged to the top of the cliff!

In an instant, it sublimated!

The lake water below also disappeared!

The entire lake bed cracked like it had been dry for a hundred years!

In the center, there was a huge hole!

It was as if it was formed by falling meteorites!

When he got up and saw this scene, Lin Ming dragged his weak body and was extremely excited!

His eyes were bright and spirited!

It was as if three years of humiliation had been washed away at this moment!
