Stronger with Crimson Modifier

Xinghui Middle School, located in the heart of the Lower City District, is a top middle school directly affiliated with Star Mecha University.

It brings together elite students from all across the Lower City District. Every single student has passed a rigorous selection process, possessing an Intentional Energy Level of at least C-Level, making the school a veritable cradle of geniuses.

Although the tuition was not cheap, the benefits were beyond what any ordinary academy could offer.

Aside from the various benefits and subsidies, each student got their own private room—a thirty-square-meter apartment, fully equipped with water, electricity, and internet. There were even dedicated cleaning staff who came in daily.

「At this moment.」

Inside one of these rooms.

Zhao Yao sat cross-legged.

His hands were folded over his abdomen, his eyes tightly shut.

His breathing followed a peculiar rhythm.

As time passed, his consciousness felt as if it were being drawn into the boundless depths of the universe.

Before him was a giant star, just like the solar projection he’d seen in class.

However, compared to the projection, the sight of this sun was far more stunning and real.

The massive sun filled his entire field of vision. Its scorching light, like innumerable sharp swords, pierced the dark void, dyeing the surrounding space a brilliant golden-red.

Far from calm, the sun’s surface roiled with violent energy.

Searing plasma, like boiling magma, constantly churned and erupted, forming massive tongues of fire that threatened to devour everything.

The corona shrouded its edges like a thin veil, emitting an interwoven glow of ethereal blue and silver-white.

The light wasn’t harsh on the eyes; instead, it possessed a unique beauty, like the universe’s most exquisite work of art.

However, the corona was not static. It flowed with a slow grace, forming immense arcs that coiled like Giant Dragons across the sun’s surface.

Suddenly, Zhao Yao noticed an anomaly within the corona.

A massive surge of energy burst from the sun’s surface, creating a dazzling Siphon.

The Siphon resembled a colossal pillar of light, shooting from the sun’s surface toward the heavens, as if trying to draw in all the energy of the universe.

Within the pillar of light, countless motes of light twinkled like stars, spinning and dancing on the currents of energy to paint a magnificent tapestry.

At the apex of the Siphon, the energy gradually converged, forming a massive vortex.

Within the vortex, the energy flowed faster and faster until it finally erupted in a blinding Burst of light, illuminating the entire universe for a fleeting moment.

Zhao Yao felt his consciousness drawn to this energy, and he instinctively began to mimic its absorptive rhythm and fluctuations.

「Outside.」

Suddenly, the light in the once-bright room dimmed.

On closer inspection, the surrounding light appeared to be distorted.

It was all converging on Zhao Yao’s body.

It was as if a distortion field with a one-meter radius had formed, with him at its center.

Due to the absorption and distortion of the light, a shimmering white glow now illuminated the surface of his body.

It made him look incredibly mystical.

"Hm?"

The moment this happened, Xi Guang, who was neurally linked to Zhao Yao, noticed immediately.

’This kid... he’s actually this fast?’

Seeing this, Xi Guang was rather surprised.

She hadn’t expected her tenth host’s talent to be so astonishing, that he’d succeeded in the Cultivation of the Siphon Will Refining Technique so quickly.

After all, among her nine previous hosts, the fastest had taken over three months just to barely reach the Entry-Level.

Yet this kid before her had managed to awaken his power in just half a month.

’It seems this kid’s Light Bloodline Talent is far more powerful than I anticipated.’

「After a while.」

Zhao Yao slowly opened his eyes.

Instantly, the distorting, pulling force field vanished without a trace. The surrounding light, which had dimmed, returned to its original brightness.

"How do you feel?"

Xi Guang’s voice sounded in Zhao Yao’s mind.

"I feel great! No, I’ve never felt better! It’s like a set of shackles has been lifted from me! I feel so much lighter. I feel like I could jump to the ceiling right now!"

Zhao Yao took a deep breath, carefully sensing the changes in his body.

He could clearly feel a significant enhancement in both his five senses and his physical strength.

He held out his hand and clenched his fist slightly. A wisp of white light coalesced in his palm.

This was the light he had absorbed during his Cultivation of the Siphon technique.

Now, he could solidify it, release it, and even use it to cause a certain amount of damage.

"All right, you’ve only just awakened your Light Bloodline. Don’t use this power so casually!"

Xi Guang’s voice suddenly interrupted his actions.

At her words, Zhao Yao quickly retracted the wisp of light.

However, the instant the light vanished, his face paled slightly, and a wave of weakness washed over him.

"Until you’ve grown stronger, you should use your power as a Light Descendant as little as possible."

Xi Guang, who was usually languid, sounded uncharacteristically serious as she warned him.

"Those bastards from the Eternal Night Council are most likely searching for me.

If they find us, with your current level of strength, your death will be certain."

"I understand."

Zhao Yao nodded.

After spending this time with her, he had come to a general understanding of his situation.

According to her, the most powerful organization in this world was the Holy Cross Church.

The Holy Cross Church was formed by those who had awakened their Light Bloodline.

And her previous host had been one of its members.
