Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe

Chapter 56 Shocking Revelation

Edward and Johnathan hurriedly crawled away to a corner of the dorm room, hugging each other and looking at Adam in trepidation.

Why wouldn't these kids feel frightened? One moment Adam was in a state of pain, and the next moment he was laughing like a madman.

Suddenly, they saw Adam turn toward them and stare at them with narrowed eyes.

"Eeeekkk!" Edward and Johnathan hugged each other even tighter. They were like a couple of little mice who had just encountered an evil cat.

"Hmm?" Adam was puzzled. "The hell is wrong with you both?"

"W-Who are you? What have you done to Adam?!" Edward screamed in panic. Meanwhile, Johnathan was frozen in fear.

Realizing what was happening, Adam rolled his eyes. He thought to himself, These guys have been reading up on those urban legends lately. They probably think I've been possessed by an evil spirit.

Thinking this, he couldn't help but sigh. He looked at Edward and mocked. "Do you really think if I was possessed by an evil spirit, I'd know that you have a crush on Lisa?"

"And you." Adam turned to Johnathan and smirked. "You're courting Shelly and Hillary at the same time. Would an evil spirit know that?"

Edward's and Johnathan's faces flushed red from embarrassment. The things that Adam had just mentioned were all true, and they had told this to him in confidence. But now, everything was laid bare.

Johnathan looked at Edward and forced a laugh, trying to hide his own embarrassment. "Hehe… hahaha, so you've been losing weight to impress Lisa, huh?"

"You!" Edward's face was redder than a tomato. "And you, you're fooling around with two girls at the same time? Shameless!"

Adam interrupted their quarrel, "You guys, I'm going to take a quick bath. After that, we can head out for dinner."

He headed to the bathroom, filled the bathtub with warm water, and immediately lay down inside it.

The amount of information he'd just learned from the expert's memories was simply astonishing.

Adam was filled with disbelief. He had simply wished that he would be able to learn some spells from the memories, but what he learned was very comprehensive, and quite honestly, very shocking!

It took him a while to organize all the memories, and finally, he was able to go over it one by one.

First of all, he received a body enhancement technique known as the Astral Tyrant Manual.

Magi have categorized two ways through which they could tap into the universal power known as mana.

First is the external mana system, through which Magi manipulate mana to achieve desired effects. Magic spells and magic combat techniques fall under this system.

The second is the internal mana system, through which Magi extract the mana from the surroundings and subsequently elevate their essence, resulting in strengthening themselves and advancing through ranks.

Mana extraction techniques and body enhancement techniques fall under this system.

A body enhancement technique allows the Magi to use the mana stored in their bodies to augment their limbs or weapons to fight enemies. The Astral Tryant Manual was one such technique.

Moreover, it also contained magic combat techniques as well as a mobility technique.

But the best thing about this technique was that practicing it would constantly strengthen the user's body, building a solid foundation, and making the most optimal build. It adjusted the user's body to reach perfection.

It was a technique that could be considered the cream of the crop.

The Astral Tyrant Manual was definitely something unheard of in the Uriel Continent. No, it was probably something unprecedented even on this whole planet!

And that brings us to the most shocking revelation that Adam discovered in the memories. And that was…

They were not alone in this universe!

"Ha… Haha… Hahaha!" Adam's face was etched with incredulity as he lay in the bathtub. "Is this what the professors meant by the wisdom paradox?"

The wisdom paradox states the following:

The more a person learns, the more they realize how much they don't know!

In the memories, Adam witnessed the expert, who was in fact a high-ranking Magus, flying through the vast cosmos and traveling to various planets. Each of these planets had their own magical civilization. Some were backward, while some were highly advanced.

Adam also got to see the various species that inhabit the universe. It was truly an eye-opening experience.

Moreover, Adam witnessed the expert travel to an ancient ruin of a long-extinct magical civilization. It was here that the expert obtained the Astral Tyrant Manual.

When he found this body enhancement technique, he was extremely regretful. Because the Astral Tyrant Manual required one to start practicing it while they were still at Rank 1.

One would not be able to practice it if they had already advanced to the next rank. Because that would mean altering their entire physiology from scratch which was simply impossible.

Moreover, this manual also required the user to have high spiritual power relative to their rank. Otherwise, the user would never be able to display the true power of the Astral Tyrant Manual.

The prerequisites were extremely strict, however, Adam was very fortunate that this manual was a perfect fit for him.

After having gone through the memories, Adam sighed emotionally. "So this planet I'm on is merely a grain of sand in the boundless desert that is the universe."

The amount of information that Adam had learned from the memories of the expert, exposed him to the immense unknown.

However, he was not frightened in the least.

If anything, he was empowered.

Adam clenched his fists, his eyes shining with newfound conviction. "Embrace ignorance. Embrace lifelong learning. That is the path of a Magus!"

From the memories, Adam was also able to vaguely learn the common language used in the majority of the planets in the universe.

He recalled the scene he had witnessed when he first acquired the white lotus. In that scene, the Magi were talking in a foreign language. He wasn't able to understand then, but now he could faintly understand some of it.

Adam thought of the black-armored Magus that valiantly fought against the thousands of Magi. He had long since taken this Magus as his role model. Today, he was finally able to learn his name.

"Magus Julian Stockholm…" Adam muttered.

"I will follow in your footsteps and one day become a Magus just like you!"
