Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

The deep and tempting voice of the boxing champion ignited the fire in Han Te’s heart. The young man felt that his mouth was dry, his head was dizzy, and his blood was boiling.

“Is—is it true, Lord Fist King? I—I can learn magic?”

He asked in disbelief.

“Of course.”

The Fist King nodded and said, “Since General Bai’s chip from the magical universe was given to me, I’ve been studying the arts of magic. My computational ability has significantly improved after I swallowed the data

pieces of the Fuxis. I’ve also vaguely activated the ancient, remote data that can be found in the deepest part of my central database.

“Although I haven’t recovered the most ancient bottom-level data yet, the mysteries are still scattered and unsystematic. But at least, mortals can see the domain of the gods.

“Magic and Cultivation are two completely different systems of strength.

“The utilization of spiritual energy in the Cultivation system is only limited to the three-dimensional space. Except for the space jumps, the spiritual energy rarely touches the power of the four-dimensional space. The

advantage of such a system is that it is safe and stable enough. The strength comes from the heaven and the earth and melded with the body. It does not involve too many ‘strange forces’.

“The magical system, on the other hand, involves the power of the four-dimensional space. You can simply imagine opening super-tiny wormholes on your fingertips with special gestures, spells, and rune arrays and

summoning storms in the four-dimensional space.

“Of course, we all know that the four-dimensional space is extremely dangerous. Not only are there all kinds of storms that can tear a starship into iron elements, there are also countless unpredictable ‘creatures’ that

can be called deities. Therefore, the magical system is much more dangerous than the Cultivation system. Magicians need to be more devoted and calm than Cultivators in order to grasp the true meaning of magic.

“Moreover, at the risk of being torn apart by the four-dimensional space storm, the magical power that is summoned will often be much stronger than that of Cultivators of the same level. Although there are still

shortcomings such as the duration of the spell and the difficulty of finding magical materials, there are no mages in the Pangu Universe. Other people will not be able to defend against your unbelievable spells at all.

That is your greatest advantage!

“How about it? Do you want to learn? I can teach you.”

While he was talking, the brilliance around him blinked, displaying dozens of 3D light beams. Data related to the training system poured down like a storm. Complicated rune arrays and zigzagging spells drowned Han

Te like a treasure trove.

Han Te found it hard to keep his eyes open and breathe. Every nerve in his body was shivering in excitement.

“Ld”

He was at a loss for words.

“There’s nothing to hesitate about. This is your only chance.

There was eagerness in the boxing champion’s voice as he said, “You were right just now. If he is just an ordinary fire control officer, he will only be an assistant to the commanders such as Boss Bai and Lei Chenghu

even if he has trained himself to the peak. Even if he becomes an ordinary commander of a fleet, how can he be compared to ‘Emperor Yongjia’?

“However, it is completely different with the Fire Manipulator and the Mage.

“The magical fleet of the magical universe in the past was able to pass through the Chaos Sea in the middle of the multiverse, escape from the scourge of the tides, and break into the Pangu Universe. Although only a

few remnants were left, it was not hard to imagine how strong it was.

“If we have the opportunity to collect more debris of a magical fleet, or even rebuild a new one with you as the core, with thousands of cannons under your control, you will be able to absorb the power of the

four-dimensional space at your will and turn it into an almost unlimited energy source. By then, as the ‘Great Mage Han Te’, are you afraid that you will not be able to compete with Emperor Li Jialing?”

“Good—good point!”

Han Te was completely fascinated. He almost drooled while he listened. Wiping the corner of his mouth, he asked, “Then, is this spell very difficult to learn and time-consuming? If so, I will have to study both

fire-control techniques and magic, and I won’t have much time to accompany Liu Li!”

“Of course, it’s difficult. Of course, it’s time-consuming. But isn’t it only natural? How can you learn such a marvelous skill so easily?”

The Fist King said, “However, I’ve compiled a tutorial on the rudiments of magic for you according to your specialties, which has significantly reduced the difficulty. If you can ignore the outside world and train yourself

for twenty years, you should be able to make some achievements.”

“That long?”

Han Te was greatly shocked. “More than twenty years?”

“Nonsense. With your aptitude, how long do you think it will take for you to reach the Nascent Soul Stage or even the Divinity Transformation Stage? I guarantee that you will have more achievements than Cultivators

if you study magic with the same time and energy!”

The Fist King frowned. His voice turned cold as he said, “It was you who begged me to help you a few days ago. I saw that you were deeply in love with me, and I was moved by you. I couldn’t bear it any longer, so I

taught you everything I knew. Hmph. In the real magical universe, even the apprentice mages would have to bitterly cultivate in the isolated magical towers for decades before they could graduate. Even in the Pangu

Universe, are there not a few cultivators who have secluded themselves for decades? I went through all kinds of trouble to help you compile a ‘quick textbook’ to shorten the time to the limit. I never thought that you

would not appreciate my kindness.

“Han Te, didn’t you say that the golden-haired boy was merely lucky enough to have more adventures than you did in order to become the emperor? Now, a unique adventure is right in front of you. Let’s see whether

or not you have the courage, determination, and patience to hold it in your hands!

“Of course, I have courage, determination, and patience!

Heartened by the boxing champion, Han Te jumped up from the ground and stood straight like a javelin. He rubbed his fists and gnashed his teeth. “As long as I can become a great sorcerer who is unparalleled in the

history of the Pangu Universe and stomp on the lucky brat, I will be able to endure all kinds of pain and fear none!

“It’s not that I don’t know what’s good for me, Master Fist King. I just feel that it’s inappropriate that I don’t have time to accompany Liu Li because I’m occupied with dual training for such a long time.”

“What’s wrong with that?”

The Fist King said, “A man with his own career and capability is the most charming man. Do you want to become a failure who has accomplished nothing in Liu Li’s heart and only knows how to talk big?”

“Well…”

Han Te scratched his hair. “That’s true.”

“Moreover, right now, Liu Li’s impression of you is just that of a big brother who grew up with you. If the two of you get along with each other day and night, this impression will be hard to change.”

The boxing champion continued, “I, on the other hand, think that, after twenty years of separation and your glamorous return as a ‘great sorcerer’, you might be able to reverse your ‘brother’ image and improve your

relationship.

“It—it does make sense. The Fist King has truly seen through human nature to the extreme!”

Han Te smashed his fists. He thought for a moment and said, “But—but we’ve been separated for such a long time. What if some ill-intentioned, sleazy guy approaches Liu Li? Not just the yellow-haired guy. A girl as

cute as Liu Li must have a lot of stinky men chasing after her. She is so innocent. What if she is fooled?”

“Hehe… Do you think I’m dead?”

The boxing champion slapped Han Te’s shoulder heavily, his fingers almost piercing into the young man’s flesh. “Rest assured. I promise you that you will not let any man with ill intentions get close to Liu Li, including

our emperor!”

“Lord—Lord Boxer!”

Han was more touched than ever. Then he thought of another question. “Right. Since magic is so awesome, how far have you been training yourself? Are you a ‘great sorcerer’? Will you train with me?”

“Well…”

The Fist King pondered for a moment and said, “Although the mysteries of magic are stored in my core database, I’ve embarked on a different path of training. My database is full of… distracting thoughts.

“Besides, you know my origins. I was not a pure human being in the beginning. I was the ‘Coster’ on a magical starship. I was the mainframe crystal processor, the artificial intelligence, and so on. Part of my mission was

to help human beings practice magic.

“Therefore, I probably won’t be able to become a real great sorcerer, but you still have a chance. Really. I think very highly of you. I believe in you!

“You…”

Han Te’s eyes were wet. He sniffed and asked, “Master Fist King, why are you helping me like this?”

The question baffled the boxing champion for a long time.

“Firstly, we are… from the same hometown. | consider myself to be a member of the evil land. Compared to Li Jialing, who has nothing to do with me, I am naturally on your side.

The boxing champion thought for a long time and said, “Secondly, and more importantly, I can see a potential in you. A potential to practice magic. Maybe even you don’t realize how suitable it is for you to become a

great sorcerer.

“It’s true. In the asymmetric competition between you and Li Jialing, perhaps no one is optimistic about you, a young man from the Wasteland. Even if there is a one in a billion chance that you can defeat the emperor

of the imperium and the golden lion, I am the only one who can see that there is something unique inside your body. That is, uh, that is… the ‘Heart of Magic’. Yes, it is you, a man who possesses the Heart of Magic. You

were born to become a great magician. Li Yao is not your lucky encounter. I am your real lucky encounter!

“Therefore, uh, therefore, there is no need to ask or explain anything. In short, believe in yourself, create miracles, surpass all limits, and make all the impossibilities possible. Listen to the guidance of the ‘Heart of

Magic’ and chase your dreams bravely, Great Mage Han Te!”.
