Mo Fan always thought he was quite shameless, but now he was surprised to stumble into someone more shameless than him!

“Master, I don’t think we have ever charged any customers like that,” Xiao Mian said.

Guo Liyu fondled the beard he was quite proud of and admitted, “Mm, you’re right…”

“Uncle Guo, stop joking around with my friend. He’s still waiting for you to Awaken a powerful Element for him. Time to prepare for it,” Mui Nujiao intervened.

Guo Liyu patted his chest and declared proudly, “Prepare? What do I need to prepare? Let’s do it right away! I promise to Awaken any Element you want!”

This new Awakening Room was very different from the one Mo Fan was brought to after he had reached the Intermediate Level, obviously a lot classier. Even the stands the Awakening Stones were displayed on looked extremely costly.

“You know the drill, don’t you? Tell me what Element you want first. Otherwise, you might think I’m just a genius after the fact,” Guo Liyu said.

“Nothing in particular, anything will do,” Mo Fan replied.

“Well, you must have a preference?” Guo Liyu asked after a moment of hesitation.

“Mm, the Light Element, then…” Mo Fan answered after a brief pause.

“Are you sure you don’t want to buy a Guiding Stone? I’ll give you a thirty percent discount. I can guarantee you that it will greatly increase the odds of Awakening the Element you are after!” Guo Liyu promised.

“There’s no need for that. Let’s begin. There’s no such thing as a weak Element in this world. It’s only the Mage that is weak,” Mo Fan responded firmly.

“You’re right! Seeing how determined you are, I shall give you another five percent discount. I can’t go any lower!” Guo Liyu said.

“…”

Mo Fan decided not to use a Guiding Stone, mainly because the Guiding Stones for the Super Level were simply too expensive. Mo Fan was fine with any Element, as long as it was not Healing or Psychic!

Mo Fan stood in the center of the room, while Guo Liyu stood opposite him. He placed his hands on the Awakening Stone and said, “I’ll use my Will to help you stabilize the Awakening Stone. It will get rid of the Elemental impurities for you.”

Mo Fan nodded. He closed his eyes after taking a deep breath.

It was his fourth Awakening!

Each Awakening was like a great transformation for Mo Fan. He could not wait to see how strong he would become after gaining eight Elements!

That being said, reaching the Super Level was like reaching the top of a mountain, allowing him to see a clearer sky. In addition to the two new Elements he would be getting, the time he spent on upgrading the rest of his Elements would be worth it, too!

“I gained this Awakening Stone from Mount Dayflame of the Tianshan Mountains. It contains the purest energy of the Light Element, and it also has some unique traits related to the Light Element, too. I’m not being stingy. This thing can easily be sold at an insane price at an auction. Since you are my niece’s friend, I don’t mind giving it to you. You should take good care of it, and don’t you ruin my reputation!” Guo Liyu told him.

Mo Fan did not respond. He was focused on sensing the energy inside the Awakening Stone.

Guo Liyu did not lie to him. Mo Fan immediately felt like he was standing in a spacious valley surrounded by rocks under a bright sun; the strong presence of the Light Element felt like it was purifying him!

His Spiritual World was like a vast black galaxy. The places with Stardust were the furthest points his Will could reach, where the vast darkness was yet to be explored. The Star Ocean’s appearance had shed some light on areas previously covered in darkness.

The Awakening had lit up a new area in his Spiritual World, which was now newly unlocked!

Mo Fan found a faint halo of light in the new area. He was rather confused when he noticed an unfamiliar color.

“Gold?”

If it was golden, it must be the Light Element. Mo Fan was impressed. This Guo Liyu was really something. He did help Awaken the Element he had asked for!

“Strange, it doesn’t look golden, it seems a little darker…” Mo Fan quickly realized something unusual after taking a closer look.

The colors of a Stardust, Nebula, Galaxy, and Star Ocean were not fixed. For example, they might change color when they merged with a new Soul Seed.

However, the initial color of the Elements was usually fixed. The Light Element was golden, but the new Element that Mo Fan had Awakened was not the usual pure gold. It was golden-brown, to be precise!

“What’s going on here?” Mo Fan was dumbfounded.

What Element has the color golden-brown? Is it the Light Element or not!?

The Stardust slowly took shape. The Stars were slowly appearing, too.

One, two, three…when all seven Stars took shape, it meant the Awakening was completed.

Mo Fan still could not identify the Element by its color. He slowly approached the Stardust after all the Stars had appeared.

Mo Fan was shocked when he interacted with the adorable Stars!

It is not Light!

It is not the Light Element!

Guo Liyu remained beside Mo Fan. His eyes never left the Awakening Stone.

His brows were tightly furrowed. He stared at the golden-brown light flickering from the Awakening Stone.

“The Earth Element? Strange, why would the Earth Element have a hint of gold? Could it be that these Awakening Stones didn’t absorb the natural light energy, but have mutated from the energy of the light?” Guo Liyu murmured.

Mo Fan slowly opened his eyes. His pupils emitted a brown glint of light, with a golden ring on the outside!

“The Earth Element!” Mo Fan looked at Guo Liyu and blurted out first.

Guo Liyu sighed. “There’s no guarantee you will Awaken the Element you want. It’s a matter of probability, but I must say that this Awakening Stone had quite a high chance to Awaken the Light Element. Maybe you were just unlucky,” Guo Liyu quickly explained.

“I wouldn’t say I’m unlucky. I’m quite fond of the Earth Element, too! I happen to lack defensive spells!” Mo Fan smiled. He was not disappointed at all that he had Awakened the Earth Element.

There was no reason for him to be disappointed. The Earth Element and Light Element were not too different from one another. The Basic Spell of the Earth Element was very flexible, with many uses. It could boost a target’s speed or restrict its movement, and be used as a trap.

The Intermediate Spell of the Earth Element was more commonly used for defensive purposes, just like the Light Element. The Advanced Spell was the Eyes of the Rock Demon, a powerful control spell!

Mo Fan was not too familiar with the Super Spell of the Earth Element, but he recalled Yan Shi Summoning the enormous back of a dragon to defend him from the Giant Purple Linden’s Demon Tree Spikes. That defense was none other than the Super Earth Spell Yan Shi had perfected. It felt like the entire land had become her weapon for both offensive and defensive purposes!

Besides, those spells did not have to be framed so they could only be used for just a defensive or offensive purpose!

With the fine control from being in the Super Level, those with the Earth Element could also choose the path of violence and make the ground tremble!

“Strange, why does your Earth Element have a hint of gold in it?” Guo Liyu asked.
