Andrew walked out of the study and headed to the bathroom to wash up.

Due to the intense pain, his entire body was drenched in sweat.

The moment Andrew went out of the door, he saw his two children.

Mary had returned home and was helping her brother in the kitchen.

“You’re back.”

Andrew greeted her and then hastily washed up. He felt a little hungry, so he casually chose a set of clothes and changed into it. Then he sat down at the table on which there were many dishes.

“This is the meat of the flaming chicken.”

Andrew noticed it. The flesh of the special magical beast was beneficial for cultivating.

The only drawback was that it was expensive!

“I bought it especially for you,” Tim said with a smile, “I received my monthly allowance today”

Mary, who was sitting at the table, also looked at the dish in surprise.

“It’s been a long time since our family ate this.” She looked greedy.

Andrew could not help but smile when seeing her like this.

His son had grown up. Even if he didn’t have the cheating program, Tim’s continuously increasing strength was enough to support this family.

Andrew picked up the cutlery and was about to take a few pieces of chicken to eat when he heard a cold and childish voice beside him.

“Tim! You shouldn’t have bought this flaming chicken!”

“Your father needs more high-level items to return to the level of the beginner mage. It’s better to use the money to increase your own strength.”

“But since we can’t help my father recover for the time being, it’s also good to make him happy.”

Andrew was a little stunned.

He was familiar with the second voice. It was his son’s voice. It was somewhat distorted, but he could still recognize it.

‘This is a spiritual transmission.’

‘I didn’t expect that with the diamond spiritual structure, my sensory ability would become so strong.’

Andrew put down the cutlery and turned his head. Then he found Topa was lying on Tim’s shoulder and talking with him.

‘So they are talking now.’

‘This little fellow, who looks like a rabbit, was picked up by Tim when they were on their last trip. It looks extraordinary.’

Andrew remained calm and continued to listen to their conversation.

Topa was a little displeased. “Strength is the most important. I’m the Astral Beast, so you should listen to me!”

Tim said as if he was coaxing a child, “I always listen to you, don’t I? You asked me to slow down the pace of my breakthrough, and I did as you said.”

“Forget it. Be diligent and remember to practice the Starry Night Meditation that I taught you,” Topa reminded Tim, “And according to our plan, you will sign up for the Wild Hunt. Otherwise, just by relying on my origin star power, you won’t improve fast.”

“All right. I’m not of Star Race. How can I become stronger quickly?” Tim replied.

Andrew felt relieved.

He had heard of Star Race, which was considered one of the most powerful forces in this world.

Everyone in this race was born with origin star power, which was very beneficial to the cultivation of a majority of races. Once it was taken away, Star Race would lose all their strengths. Therefore, Topa was willing to share this with Tim, which showed that he meant Tim no ill.

‘No wonder Tim’s talent is about the same as mine but he advanced so quickly.’

“One can only gain the star power with the help of Star Race?”

“This is quite strange.”

When Andrew decided to stop hearing their conversation, Topa said another secret.

“Star Race is not born powerful. The origin star power is not very useful before we reach the level of a great mage. On the contrary, it will only bring us fatal disaster. When we were magic apprentices or ordinary mages, we relied on an extremely stable and airtight spiritual structure to survive. Since you have cultivated to gain this kind of spiritual structure, the speed of your cultivation won’t be slow.”

‘What?’ Andrew was stunned. ‘Stable and airtight? Was Topa referring to diamond?’

Andrew was secretly pleased. Sure enough, his decision was right. He did not hesitate to endure great pain and changed his spiritual structure, finally laying a perfect foundation for his cultivation.

“Okay, I got it,” Tim replied solemnly.

However, Topa was still talking non-stop.

“Don’t think that you’re very powerful just because you have become a beginner mage.”

“This is just the standard of the Blue Planet. In Star Race, it’s not that easy to become a beginner mage!”

“Hey, what are you talking about? Not only have I broken through to become a beginner mage, but I’ve also mastered the magic of wind and fire. I’m much stronger than others now.” Tim retorted without much confidence.

Topa’s voice became more and more disdainful.

“Is that so? Then do you know that if you want to become a beginner mage in Star Race, you need to master at least four different types of magic and sixteen types of spells?”

“Your mana reserves must be enough to enable you to continuously cast beginner spells thirty times. Only then can you be recognized as a beginner mage. With your current level, you’re just a slightly stronger apprentice in Star Race.”

‘Apprentice?’ Andrew was stunned for a moment.

When he became a beginner mage, he had only grasped one type of magic. He was slightly worse than his son. According to Topa, he probably didn’t deserve to be a mage at all.

Tim was still a little unconvinced and he said, “I don’t have to follow the standards of Star Race, do I?”

“On this planet, I’m already considered a genius.” He said unconfidently, his voice becoming lower and lower.

Topa was getting more annoyed. “Genius?”

“You can’t imagine what a true genius is like in Star Race.”

“At the very least, you have to master the ability to cast spells across levels.”

“They can use beginner spells to bring out the power of middle-level spells!”

“Even if you have the spiritual structure that I told you, you are unable to do it!”

The two of them kept talking and Andrew learned quite a few secrets while listening to their conversation.

‘Even a beginner mage is so powerful in Star Race.’

‘As for casting spells across levels, I don’t know if I have the chance with my current talent…’

‘Sure enough, even if I have the diamond spiritual structure, I can’t slack off.’

Andrew slowly chewed the meat in his mouth, then he put down the cutlery and said calmly, “You guys enjoy your dinner. I’m going back to my room to cultivate.”

…

In the early morning of the second day.

When Andrew woke up, he found Tim and Mary still asleep. He tiptoed into the living room and rummaged for a while. Not long after, he took out a golden card that looked rather quaint.

”I haven’t used it for decades.’ Andrew thought and showed a nostalgic expression.

With this golden card, he could test his abilities for free in Magical Apprentice Halls that were open all over the country.

Since Andrew became a beginner mage, he had never used it again. 

Previously, Andrew’s test on his diamond spiritual structure made him unsure of his power.

‘If the tests at Apprentice Hall prove that my spiritual structure is more stable, then I can begin my cultivation.’

Andrew took out a few pieces of bread from the fridge, opened the door, and walked out..
