A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 464 Finally Understood

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan smiled slightly and then said, "I might leave."

Louis frowned slightly and asked, "You really haven't considered staying? If you stay, Ancient Spirit City will definitely protect you."

Chao Bufan understood what Louis meant, smiled again, and said, "Senior Louis, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I never intended to stay. After all, I still have my family in HX, and I can't possibly abandon them."

“Sigh!” Louis sighed softly, a look of disappointment clearly crossing his face, and then said, “Since that’s the case, then I have nothing more to say. Young man, let me warn you, if we find out that you have ill intentions toward the magic academy, then don’t blame me for not warning you.”

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan's expression turned serious, and he said respectfully, "Senior Louis, please rest assured, I am not the kind of ungrateful and shameless person. I swear to God, I will never do anything to betray the Magic Academy."

Louis nodded and said, "Okay, I've asked all the questions I needed to. You have a match tomorrow, so go back and get some rest."

"Yes, Senior Louis, this junior will take his leave!"

With that, Chao Bufan bowed and then turned to leave.

Shortly after, Principal Smith and others entered. Smith asked, "Mr. Lewis, what do you think of this extraordinary thing?"

Upon hearing this, Louis smiled slightly and then said, "He's a very mysterious person. This kid is not simple. He is indeed a rare talent. I just examined his body, and to my surprise, I couldn't see through him at all. His body is like a bottomless abyss, unfathomable."

"Even you can't see through it?" The others were startled.

Louis nodded, then said, "Smith, you should keep a close eye on him. If you can get him out of here as soon as possible, let him go to avoid any trouble later."

“Yes, Mr. Louis,” Principal Smith and the others said respectfully.

Louis stood up from the sofa and said as he walked towards the office inside, "Alright, that's enough time. You can all go and get ready!"

"Yes."

Back in the dormitory, Chao Bufan quickly transmitted his voice and said, "Senior, you were right after all. Ancient Spirit City is not simple. I can't even see through this old man named Louis."

The old man said, "I estimate that there must be many people like him in Guling City, and perhaps there are quite a few who are even more capable than him."

"kindness."

Chao Bufan nodded in agreement and said, "I think so too."

“Oh, right,” the old man seemed to have thought of something, and then said, “Why didn’t you ask him about the Bible? Maybe they know something!”

“Actually, I’ve had this idea for a while,” Chao Bufan said, “but I feel that most of the people here still have some distance between them and me, so I have to be careful.”

"makes sense."

"Senior," Chao Bufan asked, "don't you feel that the person who met Louis seems to be more than just a magician? I sensed a powerful energy fluctuation within him, an energy fluctuation related to cultivators. Could he also be a cultivator?"

“Yes,” the old man said, “he is indeed a cultivator. Think about it, magic at level twelve is the level of a magic god, and beyond that is breaking through the limits of the human body, equivalent to the tribulation stage for cultivators. If one breaks through level twelve, it is equivalent to successfully transcending the tribulation. Then, a true qi will naturally form within his body, and this true qi is equivalent to the true qi that a cultivator possesses when he becomes an immortal god after transcending the tribulation. Therefore, they can begin to cultivate Taoist arts and the like. So it’s not surprising that there is a powerful energy fluctuation within Louis’s body.”

"I understand."

With that, Chao Bufan flashed into his own inner space.

At this moment, He Yifei and the others sat cross-legged together, eyes closed, intently comprehending the magic Chao Bufan was teaching them. Chao Bufan stood behind Lin Xiaomin, glanced at his four lovers, a happy smile flashing across his face. Then, he crossed his arms and stood there pondering. In a matter of minutes, countless thoughts raced through his mind—

“Ancient Spirit City? Black House Mountain? What kind of places are these? Could they be another ‘Sun Village’?” He frowned deeply and muttered to himself, “If Ancient Spirit City and Black House Mountain are like Sun Village, then these two places are definitely much more powerful than Sun Village.”

Chao Bufan had already discerned this from Louis.

"Could it be because they know magic?"

Although magic requires external aids to unleash its true power, it still needs a certain amount of magical energy (also known as mental energy or magical power) to control and make things work for one's own purposes. If there is no magical energy within the body, then no magic can be used. Therefore, he felt that there must be an intricate connection between magical energy and true qi.

He tried to suppress his cultivation level to the lowest possible level, then closed his eyes and carefully sensed it. He nodded, then frowned deeply and muttered to himself again—

"Magic~ So that's what it is."

He finally understood the difference between magic power and true energy. Simply put, magic is when a magician uses themselves or other tools as a medium to concentrate and transform magical energy into other useful things, such as heat energy, light energy, or even the control of water, earth, and the mind. This transformation process is magic. It's completely no different from practicing Taoist arts, except that the methods and forms of practice differ.

If one doesn't suppress their cultivation level and experience the wonders of magic on their own, they really won't discover it. Once they understand, Chao Bufan immediately feels a sense of exhilaration, as if the clouds have parted to reveal the clear sky.

Having grasped the connection between magic and true energy, Chao Bufan fell into deep thought once more, for for him, many mysteries still awaited his unraveling—

The next day—

Today will be a very special day for the magic academy.

The academy had not scheduled any classes today. At the crack of dawn, all students from all grades were gathered on the playground. As for Chao Bufan and the other four, Professor Warlock had already taken them to Principal Smith's office.

At this moment, Principal Smith, Professor Michael, and others were already waiting, and even Louis was there.
