Giant Space

At this moment, Starlight was completely oblivious to the conversation between the two, as his entire focus was centered on the spherical space within his chest.

He felt as if he had become a central point, with that spherical storage space slowly orbiting him like a satellite. He could sense its presence with just a thought.

Upon looking closely into the interior of the sphere, Starlight was even more stunned by the massive space within.

Didn't Po Kong say that a typical mage's storage space was very limited? At most, it could hold some personal belongings and the like. However, his own space was actually much grander than the field they had used for the test earlier.

Now, let alone a small amount of luggage, Starlight felt as though even storing an entire city's worth of grain would be more than enough.

At the same time, Noah suddenly let out a cry of surprise from the side. “Evan, how did you do it? Why can I also see Little Star's storage space, and...”

Before he could finish, he flapped his book cover and floated to the desk. A magic book he touched immediately vanished from the desk.

Starlight was astonished to find that an identical book had suddenly appeared in a corner of his storage space.

He tried to control it with his mind to reach for the book. In the next second, the book passed through the invisible circular opening beside him and landed in his hand.

“Amazing, isn't it! This is a theory I've researched for a long time, but I just couldn't find the right person for it. Given the situation with you two, it would be very difficult to replicate it again, but at least we've made a good start, haven't we?”

Eventador spoke to them with a smile. Having successfully verified and implemented his hypothesis, he was in an exceptionally good mood.

“So, Little Star, how big is your space? Generally speaking, a person's spatial affinity is innate and cannot be enhanced through cultivation. However, the records regarding the Radiant Elemental Body are still far too sparse, so I'm quite curious about this.”

Starlight was about to answer when Noah snatched the topic away.

“Hehe... If I actually say it, I'm afraid it'll give you quite a scare, Evan! You'd better prepare yourself mentally!”

Hearing this, Eventador’s eyebrows quirked up, and he looked at Noah with a hint of surprise. “Is it really that exaggerated? Go on, tell me!”

“Then listen well... I just did a rough estimate. If you really wanted to put things inside, I reckon you could fit about half of the academy's castle in there.”

“Hah... I thought you were going to say something huge. Half a... castle???? Carlos, you're not joking, are you? Do you mean a room or a castle?!!”

At first, Eventador simply waved it off dismissively, but half a second later, he suddenly reacted. The gaze he turned toward the two was instantly filled with immense shock.

It even gave him the illusion that the things that had surprised him today were already more than all the surprises from the past several years combined.

If Noah wasn't lying, then this was truly unprecedented news! After all, as a spatial Archmage himself, his own storage space was only about the size of two studies.

To be able to fit half a castle inside... wouldn't that be hundreds of times larger than his own? How on earth was this possible!

“Where exactly did it go wrong... Was the variable the Radiant Elemental Body? Or was it me as the guide... or perhaps Carlos’s soul form? No matter how I try to explain it, this is just too unreasonable! Could it be... that Little Star's spatial affinity is also exceptionally high? Is this an innate effect of the Radiant Elemental Body?...”

Eventador’s brow was tightly furrowed as he rubbed his chin and muttered to himself, seemingly completely captivated by the logic-defying size of Starlight's space.

“Sigh! You two really know how to stir up trouble. You just got back and you're already denying him any peace, aren't you? You two should head out first. Evan won't be snapping out of it anytime soon. Go stay at the usual spot. Carlos, you haven't forgotten it, have you?”

Sitting behind the desk, Mowei sighed as he watched Eventador’s entranced state. He casually tossed a key toward Starlight and then issued the order for them to leave.

“By the way, regarding the size of the boy Starlight's storage space, the fewer people who know, the better. I don't want my grand-disciple to be snatched away and used as manual labor!”

Just as the two were about to step out the door, Mowei’s voice rang out again. Starlight looked back, only to find the old man's figure had already vanished from the study, leaving only Eventador still buried in his calculations.

Seeing that no one else was speaking to him, Starlight picked up Noah and walked out the door. Only then did he realize they were already several kilometers away from the testing grounds, standing atop the tower of the castle in the center of the academy.

“Um... Noah, let me ask you a question.”

“Hmm?”

“What kind of mage is... Grandmaster Mowei? And what level of strength has he reached? I can't seem to sense his depth at all.”

After some thought, Starlight finally voiced the doubt in his heart. From the moment he met Mowei, he had developed a deep interest in the old man.

In his understanding, no matter how powerful someone was, there should be a measurable 'quantity' of power that could be sensed. Yet Mowei’s presence was like 'nothingness,' completely impossible to grasp.

He hadn't seen anything in the old man. Starlight even wondered if the old man had truly appeared in the office. But the sensation of being patted earlier had been so real.

Hearing Starlight's question, Noah smiled and said:

“I'm really not sure about the old man's strength. At least, your father and I never saw him go all out. As for Evan... he might know something, but I can say for certain that he hasn't yet surpassed the scope of the Saint Rank.”

“Also, regarding the old man's magic type, I can tell you for certain, it's not space magic. Do you want to try and guess what it is?”

Seeing that Noah wouldn't say it directly, Starlight began to think as he walked down the stairs. However, no matter how much he pondered, he couldn't explain how Mowei had neutralized the danger brought by those spatial ripples.

Seeing that he couldn't come up with an answer, Noah generously revealed the solution for him.

“It's time. The old man's magic is time!”

“Time? But... can something like time really be considered an element? I can understand space, but time... it just feels far too ethereal and intangible, no matter how I think about it.”
