Xiao Lin could not change Gu Xiaoyue's choice, but he now needed to choose his own branch. He was not willing to be relegated to a support-type mage. Coupled with the fact that he would mostly be in the frontlines as a dual-cultivator, support magic was out of the question.
There were a lot of types of offensive magic. The basic ones would be the four elements of wind, earth, water and fire, and each of them gave birth to a very large array of spells. Other than that, there were mixed elemental magics such as ice, lightning, and nature, but they usually had higher requirements to begin learning them.
For instance, nature-type magic required the use to first get their earth and water element magics to a certain level before they could begin learning it.
Xiao Lin could not help but be anxious. The different branches of magic were all regarded as equals, and it usually depended on the user's preferences and roles, which was what caused him grief.
