Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

"Ahh ... !!!!" Liu Yang screamed agonizingly, he felt as if thousands of needles penetrated his back at the same time. Because of the pain, he fell and curled up like a ball as he rolled from side to side.

"Break !!" Liu Xia acted quickly, she dispersed Liu Yang's magical energy. The wind wings disappeared from his back.

When Liu Xia looked at the wound on Liu Yang's body, she was happy that it wasn't very deep, only part of the flesh on the surface was torn. The back of the shirts was destroyed, the leaking flesh and blood could be seen.

"Heal" A white light covered Liu Yang's body and the wounds on his back, in just a few seconds, he was healed.

"Darling, are you okay?" Liu Xia asked worriedly.

"Yes, I'm fine. What happened? Why did something go wrong? " Liu Yang was in doubt about the case, he did not understand why his body was torn by the power of the wind.

"Darling, you should have heard me and not tried yet. Before you try, I need you to hear some things "Liu Xia waited for Liu Yang to look at her before speaking again.

"Create the wings again" Liu Yang did as she asked.

"Darling, before you merge with the wings, you must take away the sharp effects of the wind on the wings. Look "Liu Xia took out a piece of paper and approached one of Liu Yang's wings. Before the paper got close to the wing, it was cut into hundreds of pieces by the vibrations caused by the magical energy of the wind in the wings.

"Darling, did you get to see it?" Liu Xia showed the pieces of cut paper to Liu Yang.

"Yes."

"Create a wind blade using element control"

Liu Yang waved his finger and a knife was created. Liu Xia did the same thing again, she brought a piece of paper close to the knife, but when the piece of paper reached three inches from the wind knife, the next part was turned into shredded paper.

"Darling, I never taught you that because it wasn't the time yet. But now it's different, you've reached the Advanced level and can learn other secrets about magic. What I am teaching now is a very dangerous thing, even the big shots are afraid to teach this kind of thing to the younger generation unless they are confident of it. Darling, you must have realized the difficulty of doing this, right? "

"Yes, I felt like thousands of needles were piercing my back, the pain was agonizing." Liu Yang shivered as he remembered the pain he felt a few moments ago.

"Darling, before I try again. I will help you to reduce the cutting effects of the wind element. Listen carefully "She waited for him to pay attention to her first.

"The first thing you need to do is try to take out the passive effects of the wind element. This passive ability is always with the power of the element and is very difficult to remove or cancel. But how does it disable the passive effect? The only way to do that is to concentrate and try to remove the effect by controlling the power of the wind. "

"I see ... Honey, can I try now?" Liu Yang vaguely understood how to disable the passive effects of the element.

"Yes. But first, you should do something smaller than the wings, you take it off "Liu Xia advised. Liu Yang waved his hand and the pair of wings disappeared, while a blade of wind appeared.

"Darling, try to feel the power of the wind on the blade. Put your hands around the wind blade"

Liu Yang closed his eyes and concentrated on the blade in front of him. His two hands were around the wind blade, his hands were close to being cut by the wind, but Liu Yang couldn't feel the cutting effects.

Clearing his mind, Liu Yang focused only on the dagger in front of him. But no matter how hard he tried, Liu Yang couldn't feel the sharp effects of the wind.

One second ... One minute ... One hour ... Two hours ...

Liu Yang sat in the lotus position with eyes closed for several hours straight, he couldn't feel his body numb because he was focused on something else.

Time passed slowly, but Liu Yang did not notice it. His focus was only the dagger in front of him.

Without knowing his hands approached the dagger, his skin began to be cut slowly and blood began to flow.

His face was twisted with pain, sweat was falling like a waterfall on his face. This showed that Liu Yang was in a lot of pain while fighting something internally. At first, Liu Xia was startled to see this scene, but she could do nothing but stand by her man and pray for his success.

…

Within Liu Yang's mind, he was having a different fight.

After closing your eyes and starting to meditate. Liu Yang was emerged into his mind to try to feel the power of the wind.

But to his surprise, what popped into his mind was a big wheel with ten holes of various strange shapes. This was the wheel that Liu Yang used to transfer some elements to Liu Xia. This is the Wheel of the Elements.

"What is this thing doing here? I thought it was inside my body, how did it appear inside my mind? " Liu Yang wondered.

The wheel started to spin after it appeared, the place where the dagger-shaped hole had started to glow a green light. A strong wind started to blow soon after, Liu Yang's mind seemed to have a big hurricane inside.

"This is ..." Liu Yang was shocked when he saw the hurricane appear. This was not a real hurricane, but an illusion created by the wheel.

The hurricane surrounded Liu Yang before slowly subsiding until it completely covered his body.

"Ahhhhh !!!!" Liu Yang felt a great pain in his mind, it felt like thousands of needles were piercing his mind. The hurricane was entering his body little by little.

A phrase written in green letters appeared in front of him: What is the wind?

"What is the wind ????" Liu Yang didn't quite know the answer to that question.

Soon after, other phrases began to appear.

The wind is freedom.

Follow the wind to be free.

The wind can be warm, but cold.

The wind can be cold, but warm.

The wind is what travels the world in every possible way.

Feel the wind and be free.

The wind is freedom.

Liu Yang read these phrases out loud in his mind.

"Wind is freedom." The pain in Liu Yang's mind lessened after speaking the first sentence. But it was still painful, he was almost losing consciousness. Liu Yang was still supporting because he didn't want to fail.

"Follow the wind to be free." Liu Yang's body became lighter after reciting the second sentence. The pain has also subsided.

"The wind can be warm, but cold. The wind can be cold, but warm. " After the third and fourth sentences, his body felt like it was flying.

"Wind is what travels the world in every possible way." After the fifth sentence, Liu Yang couldn't feel anything else. It seemed that he had lost all senses.

"Feel the wind and be free." After the sixth sentence, Liu Yang felt the element's energies in his body become much more sensitive than before.

"Wind is freedom." After the seventh sentence, the wind became one with Liu Yang, and Liu Yang became one with the wind. This was the final stage of the mastery of the elements, the Elemental Fusion, this happened when the magician merges with the element itself.

The pains that Liu Yang was feeling were lessening with each sentence he recited, but it didn't matter to him. What mattered was that he managed to recite all the phrases that the wheel showed.

The dagger-shaped hole began to light up before being filled with magical green energy. The wheel then disappeared.

Liu Yang was no longer inside his mind, he was gone because he passed out.

In the real world, Liu Xia was hugging his body tightly. Tears were falling from her beautiful eyes because Liu Yang's body was very wounded and bleeding, luckily, she has already healed his wounds. But the blood was still strewn on the floor.

Liu Xia felt the suffering that Liu Yang was feeling, but she could only pray for him. After Liu Yang successfully managed the fusion, she burst into tears, as this was something that even she or Nightshade did not foresee. Liu Yang receives a great fortune in a disgrace.

After healing his wounds and verifying that Liu Yang did not suffer any permanent injuries, Liu Xia wiped the blood off the floor and carried Liu Yang to the room, but before that, she cleaned his body and changed his clothes.

Liu Yang only woke up three days later.
