**Soul of a Mage**
You XiaoMo stands in front of a mirror, blinking at the stranger inside the mirror.
After exhausting a lot brain cells, he is finally willing to believe the fact that his soul
is currently attached to a stranger's body. The youth in the mirror is about 17 to 18
years old. Roughly his own age. He is wearing a long blue traditional Chinese robe
with a common blue-green hairpin on the top of his head, with jet-black hair. It all
gives him an otherworldly look. However he seems somewhat pale, especially his
lips, completely lacking color, as if he had just received a heavy blow, the pretty pair
of eyes are very red and swollen like walnuts. You XiaoMo feels haggard of a
sudden, not used to the sudden change in his face.
After **lamenting Spring and Autumn* for a moment, YouXiaoMo finally
evaluates the room he is in. It is extremely sparse. A wooden bed, a wooden table, a
wooden chair and a wooden counter on which the mirror is placed. Not a trace of
the unnecessary. Although simple, it is filled with a rustic feel, simply the style of
ancient times. Connecting this with the clothing on his body, his otherworldly look,
You XiaoMo makes the sad discovery that he has been transported to the backward
ancient times. But he is modern man! He clearly remembers that the gas leak next
door caused an explosion, implicating him, the innocent neighbor, exploding him
into this stranger's body. Although this sounds outrageous, it is indeed reality. After
a little struggle, You XiaoMo decides to go with the flow.
After putting on his shoes, just when he was about to open the door and go out
figure out the situation, the door is suddenly pushed open from the outside, at once
making him jump in shock. The other person quickly dodges, narrowly missing
colliding into You XiaoMo, both gasping in surprise at the same time.
"You XiaoMo, you're finally willing to get out of bed?"
You XiaoMo is certain that only he himself knows his name, so this person must be
calling the original host of this body. Looks Iike heaven is still treating him alright,
giving him the body of one with the same name.
You XiaoMo examines the incomer. A handsome youth about his own age with a
very sunny smile. But what do his words mean, what 'You're finally willing to get out
of bed', don't tell me he has a bad habit of being lazy? Without waiting for him to
ask, the young man starts to speak.
"You XiaoMo, you should not lose heart. Even though your soul has a green aura, at
least you can still become an intermediate level mage. You must know that
intermediate level mages are still very rare. Some people can only remain as low
level mages their whole life. Therefore you should not be broken- hearted.
Tomorrow morning you have to go to the Mage's halI. You have to pick yourself up."
You XiaoMo feels his head spinning and his brain swelling. What green aura, what
intermediate level mage? Why does he not understand? But on the whole he starts
to understand a little. Maybe because this body has a green aura soul, making him
feel like **he is wearing a green hat**? So he hides in his room broken-hearted and
secretly crying, finally dropping dead after excess grief? You XiaoMo covers his
face, such a way to die, how shameful!
"Then what about you?" You XiaoMo asks cautiously.
Right now, he only knows this young man. He can only try to extract information on
this dimension from him. But he is afraid that the young man will discover that he is
not the real You XiaoMo, therefore he can't ask him straight out. However, he
doesn't know that they have not known each other for long, furthermore, after
finding out that his talent is too inferior, he had locked himself inside, refusing to go
out, therefore it is understandable that he is not aware of a lot of things. The young
man immediately grins widely, unable to contain his joy, and says bashfully while
scratching his head.
"My aura is blue."
One look and it is clear that a blue aura is a good thing, but he still does not
understand a thing ah!
"This, I don't really understand, these few days my head has been muddled,
forgetting a lot of things, can you tell me more?"
You XiaoMo asks sheepishly, afraid to look at directly at him, afraid that he would
become suspicious. The young man seems to be oblivious, completely
unsuspecting, revealing all that he knows, including the place where they are
currently at, saying all there is to be said. After listening to it all, You XiaoMo is
rendered speechless. Shock upon shock in his mind, to the extent that he has no
idea when the young man left the room.
This world is completely different from the one he knew. He has entered into the
biggest sect in the Long Xiang continent, TianXin sect. To be precise, he is just a
probationary disciple. Furthermore, TianXin sect is divided into two divisions. The
Warrior division are martial artists. Their souls do not have colored auras but they
can practice various energy control and martial arts techniques. And the other is the
Mage division. AIl mages have colored auras. The colors are separated into **three,
six, nine levels**, from light to dark: pink, yellow, green, teal, blue and purple. Pink
and yellow auras can only become low level mages. Light green and green auras
can become intermediate level mages. Blue and purple auras can become high level
mages.However the potential for the latter is much bigger than the former. For
example, the purple aura, its potential is much more than the blue aura. Therefore
there is hope of becoming a top level mage.
Blue aura, means a future high level mage. No wonder the young man has such an
elated expression. As for the host of this body, he is a probationary disciple of the
mage division. Brought back here three days ago by the elders of the TianXin sect.
The original host is a little arrogant, but during the evaluation test, he found out that
his aptitude is unexpectedly the worst among everyone. Unable to accept it, he hid
himself in the room crying. This kid, such appalling mental fortitude! On top of that,
he learned a very important piece of information. Because he is a probationary
disciple, he must pass the assessment half a year later, or else he would be driven
out of TianXin sect. TianXin sect is the largest sect in Long Xiang continent, with
very stringent requirements for their disciples, especially for mages. If they are
unable to produce the required product half a year later, they will be swept out the
door. **Look up and see no one familiar**, You XiaoMo with a brain that still has
not connected to the right track of this world, this news is undoubtedly like
**thunder from a clear sky**,
Notes:

wear a green hat - weakling
three, six, nine grades - various rank and
levels
