Elemental Light Mage

"Stop talking nonsense. We have secured this kid's life. Don't even think about doing whatever you want with him."

Hanagi's holy cavalry moved forward a distance and threatened Masago Keiki.

"Even if his survival would hinder your use of the Tower of God to pacify the entire world?"

"What?"

Xi Yeming realized that he seemed to have heard some extraordinary information.

"He possesses light magic and seems to be a perfect energy source for activating the Tower of God."

Zhengwu Jingmu revealed the hidden goals of Xileqiu and Huawan.

Xi Leqiu said: "That's something for later. At least for now I won't allow you to do anything to him."

The two women's attitudes were very firm, and they seemed determined to ensure Xi Yeming's safety.

Zhengwu Jingmu was also a little afraid of this. After all, the dinosaurs in his hands were almost dead. If he went into battle with the two again, Du Zizhen might not be able to save his life.

He raised his hands resignedly and said, "Alright, I'm really impressed by you. I won't harm his life. I just want the light magic on this kid."

Hua Wan and Xi Leqiu still did not move after hearing this.

"Assuming my experiment is successful and light magic is spread to the world, the probability of you using the Tower of God will also be greatly increased?"

It was not until Masago Keiki announced the news that the two women's expressions showed a hint of hesitation.

"Don't give up on me all of a sudden!"

Xi Yeming suddenly felt that his senior and aunt were somewhat unreliable.

"How can you guarantee that you are telling the truth?" Xileqiu asked half-doubtfully.

The scientist patiently explained, "The device we got from the Tower of God is enough to analyze only his light magic components. We just need to copy it into my body. There is no need to take his life."

After a brief silence, Xileqiu believed Zhengwu Jingmu's explanation.

"I hope you will do what you say."

After saying that, he pulled Hua Wan out of the cave, and before leaving, he did not forget to look back at Xi Yeming in the cage.

Xi Yeming rolled his eyes and said to himself, "I knew that adults are unreliable."

"You are not too young, shining magician," Shogo Keiki said to the prisoner, "Although seventeen years old is a bit early in the eyes of the world, it is actually a bit late for geniuses."

Xi Yeming said disdainfully: "I'm really sorry, I have seen many geniuses, but they all call me a genius."

"First of all, it is a bit narcissistic to just repeat the achievements of your predecessors and call yourself a genius when you have nothing of your own."

"What did you say?!"

Zhengwu Jingmu's criteria for judging genius really don't apply to Xi Yeming.

Cosmic magic is the result of the research of the two teachers, light magic was obtained from nowhere, chaos magic was passed down through blood, and plague magic can also be found in the real world.

In Zheng Wu Jingmu's eyes, Xi Yeming could only be regarded as a box containing many achievements, and the things inside were not his credit.

"Are you very good?" Xi Yeming was unhappy and tried to fight back against Zheng Wu Jingmu.

"I have a PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology."

This remark immediately silenced Xi Yeming. After all, as a child born and raised in East Asia, he naturally knew what the weight of a "PhD from MIT" meant, not to mention that this Ph.D. was still locked up.

Xi Yeming had never thought that he would be imprisoned by someone in the real world, so he pretended to be calm and replied, "It seems that you still look down on me, a prisoner?"

"In a way, you haven't gotten into my eyes yet."

"What the hell..."

Zhengwu Jingmu suddenly interrupted Xi Yeming's swearing and started another topic, "By the way, I have always wanted to ask a question."

"what……?"

"Why have you never tried to share light magic?"

This ambiguous statement made Xi Yeming not know how to respond.

Because Xi Yeming thought he would ask how to get light magic and how he got light magic.

"I tried my best to retrieve all the public records of you using light magic, and found that if your comrades could use light magic, the battle would be much easier. However, after experiencing many battles, you never had such an idea. Why?"

The doubts in his words were full of suspicion towards Xi Yeming, but Zheng Wu Jingmu's tone was extremely calm.

Light magic cannot be shared just because you want to. This is the light magic that Xi Yeming obtained when the Insect King chose him and made him the heir to the Goddess's body. It is not just a weapon, but also a symbol of the friendship between Xi Yeming and the Insect King.

"If I want to share, I will share. If I don't want to share, I won't share. What's it got to do with you?" But Xi Yeming decided to act on impulse in order to attack Zheng Wu Jingmu.

After being scolded, Zhengwu Jingmu fell into deep thought, his eyes fixed on Xi Yeming without moving.

"I went too far. I had heard that East Asia was a democratic place, but I never thought that not everyone expected fairness."

“You’re not Japanese?”

Zhengwu Jingmu's name easily reminds people of the island country located in eastern Asia in the real world, but his remarks about East Asia made Xi Yeming suspicious.

“No, only my mother is Japanese, but I’m actually a Swiss national.”

These words seemed to make Xi Yeming realize something. He vaguely felt that Zheng Wu Jingmu also had an extraordinary experience behind him.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic, the shining magician," Masago Keiki clapped his hands, not wanting to continue talking about himself, "I need you to tell me how it felt when you first received light magic and whether there would be any side effects."

"Do you really think you can get light magic?" Xi Yeming was a little uncomfortable with Zheng Wu Jingmu's behavior of opening champagne right after starting, "You won't get light magic."

"Haha," Zhengwu Jingmu didn't care about Xi Yeming's remarks at all, "You think you are too special. Do you really think you are unique?"

The contemptuous smile challenged Xi Yeming's cognition, and Zheng Wu Jingmu seemed to be confident of obtaining light magic.

"I copied a gene similar to yours and covered it in my body, and I found this by my own ability-"

The iron coffin that had been silent in the corner suddenly stood up, squeezing out a large amount of thick fog from the gap. The movement of the coffin lid attracted Xi Yeming's attention.

A dried corpse appeared in front of Xi Yeming's eyes. He put his hands on the pyramid shield and stared at it in disbelief.

Although the appearance was completely different from the goddess's body, Xi Yeming was touched in his heart that the existence of the mummy was similar to the goddess's body.

"Where did you find it?!"

"You have nothing to say now, shining magician. Do you still think that my efforts will be in vain?"
