CHAPTER 1:SOUL OF A MAGE

...Chapter 1: Soul of a mage

...

You XiaoMo stood in front of a mirror, blinking at the stranger reflected in

it. After exhausting a great deal of brain cells, he was finally willing to

believe the fact that his soul was currently attached to a stranger's body.

The youth in the mirror looked about seventeen to eighteen years old.

Roughly his own age. He was wearing a long blue traditional Chinese robe

with a common blue-green hairpin on the top of his jet-black hair. The

combination gave him an otherworldly look. However, he seemed

somewhat pale, especially his lips. They were completely lacking color, as

if he had just received a heavy blow, the pretty pair of eyes was very red

and swollen like walnuts. You XiaoMo felt haggard all of a sudden, not

used to the sudden change in his appearance.

After being sentimental for a moment, You XiaoMo finally evaluated the

room he was in. It was extremely sparse. A wooden bed, a wooden table, a

wooden chair and a wooden counter on which the mirror was placed. Not a

trace of anything unnecessary. Although simple, it was filled with a rustic

feel, the simple style of ancient times.

Connecting this with the clothing on his body and his otherworldly look,

You XiaoMo made the sad discovery that he had been transported to ancient

times. But he was a modern man! He clearly remembered that the gas leak

next door caused an explosion, implicating him, the innocent neighbor,

exploding him into this stranger's body. Although this sounded outrageous,

it was indeed reality.

After an internal struggle, You XiaoMo decided to go with the flow.

After putting on his shoes, just when he was about to open the door and

leave to figure o ut the situation, the door was suddenly pushed open from

the outside, making him jump in shock. When they almost collided into

each other, the other party quickly dodged him and gasped in surprise.

You XiaoMo, you're finally willing to get out of bed?"

You XiaoMo was certain that only he himself knew his name, so this person

must be calling the original host of this body. Looked like heaven was still

treating him alright, giving him the body of someone with the same name.

You XiaoMo examined the incomer. He was a handsome youth, about his

own age, with a very sunny smile. But what did he mean by 'you're finally

willing to get out of bed', don't tell me he had a bad habit of being lazy?

Without waiting for him to ask, the young man started to speak.

"You XiaoMo, you should not lose heart. Even though your soul has a green

aura, at least you can still become a mid-level mage. You must know that

mid-level mages are still very rare. Some people remain low level mage s

their whole life. Therefore, you should not be broken-hearted. Tomorrow

morning, you have to go to the Mage's Hall. You have to pick yourself up."

You XiaoMo felt his head spinning and his brain swelling. What green

aura? What mid-level mage? Why did he not understand?

But overall he began to understand a little, maybe because this body had a

green aura soul, so it made the real owner of this body feel like he was

wearing a green hat? So he hid in his room broken-hearted and secretly

crying, finally dropping dead from excess grief? You XiaoMo covered his

face, such a way to die, how shameful!

"Then what about you?" You XiaoMo asked cautiously.

At the moment, he only knew this young man. He could only try to extract

information about this dimension from him. However, he was afraid that the

young man would discover that he was not the real You XiaoMo, therefore

he couldn't ask him straight out. Due to this, he didn't know that they had

not known each other for long. Furthermore, after finding out that his talent

was too inferior, he had locked himself inside, refusing to go out. That

being sa id, it was understandable that he was unaware of a lot of things.

The young man immediately grinned widely, unable to contain his joy, and

said bashfully while scratching his head, "My aura is blue.One look and it was clear that a blue aura was a good thing, but he still did

not understand a thing, ah !

"About that, I don't really understand. These few days my head has been

muddled, I’ve been forgetting a lot of things. Can you tell me more?"

You XiaoMo asked sheepishly, afraid to look at directly at him, afraid that

he would become suspicious. The young man seemed to be oblivious,

completely unsuspecting, revealing all that he knew, including the place

where they currently were. He said all there was to be said. After listening

to it all, You XiaoMo was rendered speechless. He was so utterly shocked

that he had no idea when the young man left the room.

This world was completely different from the one he knew. He had entered

the biggest sect on the Long Xiang Continent, the Tian Xin Sect. To be

precise, he was just a probationary disciple. Furthermore, the Tian Xin Sect

was divided into two divisions.

The Warrior Division was made up of practitioners. Their souls did not have

colored auras, but they could practice various energy control and martial

arts techniques. The other was the Mage Division. All mages had colored

auras. The colors were separated into various levels from level one to level

nine, then from light to dark: pink, yellow, green, teal, blue and purple.

Those who had pink and yellow auras could only become low level mages.

Light green and green auras could become mid-level mages. Blue and

purple auras could become high level mages. However, the potential for the

latter was much greater than the former. For example, with a purple aura

one's potential was much higher than someone with a blue aura. Therefore,

there was hope of becoming a top level mage.

A blue aura meant a future high level mage. No wonder the young man had

such an elated expression. As for the host of this body, he was a

probationary disciple of the Mage Division. He was brought back here three

days ago by the elders of the Tian Xin Sect, along with some others . The

original host was a little arrogant, but during the evaluation, he found out

that his aptitude was unexpectedly the worst among everyone. Unable to

accept it, he hid himself in his room, crying.This kid, such appalling mental fortitude!

On top of that, he learned a very important piece of information. Since he

was a probationary disciple, he had to pass the assessment half a year later

or else he would be driven out of the Tian Xin Sect.

The Tian Xin Sect was the largest sect on Long Xiang Continent, with very

stringent requirements for their disciples, especially for mages. If they were

unable to produce the required product half a year later, they would be

swept out the door. A s a stranger in this strange land, and with a brain that

still hadn’t connected to the logic of this world, to You XiaoMo, this news

was undoubtedly like thunder in a clear sky.

(t/n: wearing a green hat \= being cheated on: *This saying came from a story

about a merchant who had a very beautiful wife. Due to his job, he was

never around the house much. Out of loneliness, the wife began cheating on

him with a fabric shop owner whenever the husband left home. But one day,

the fabric shop owner got impatient, because the husband hadn’t left the

house for more than 3 months. Some days later, the fabric shop owner saw

the husband pass by his store, so he thought the husband had left the house

for business again, thus he sneaked into the house to meet the wife, but

before he did anything, the husband came back. However, the fabric shop

owner managed to hide under the bed and avoid the calamity. After that

experience, the wife asked the shop owner to make a piece of green fabric

and make a green hat for the husband. She gave it to the husband and said

this hat represented her heart, it would protect his hair from all the dirt and

hope he would always remember her through this hat. The husband

gratefully received the hat and wore it every time he left for business, but

little did he know, the hat was to signal the fabric shop owner that the

husband had left for business and he could come over.*)
