Transcending the Magic Era: The Supreme Female Archmage

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is already the year 3222 of the Roland calendar.

Chu Qiuchi, the little girl who was once still innocent and childlike, has now grown into a graceful 13-year-old young lady. Her signature shoulder-length curly hair has become long, wavy hair, and her features have gradually matured, revealing her stunning beauty. She still wears a bright red magic robe, making her appear even more unrestrained and flamboyant.

Over the years, she and her teammates have trained diligently day and night, and now she has officially entered the ranks of Grand Mages, meeting the standards to leave the academy for further training. Once her teammates have advanced one by one, they will be able to leave the academy together and travel to the four major war zones for training.

For the past six years, they have participated in the Academy Tournament every year, and they have done it every time, winning first place without fail. The "Six-Six-Great-Smooth Team" has become a star team in the entire empire, known to almost everyone.

Whether it was magical training or the study of alchemy, she never slacked off. Now, Chu Qiuchi is not only a great mage but also a level 5 alchemist, having reached level 5 in both potion making and artifact crafting. She successfully silenced all those who had doubted her because of the grade of her magic orb.

Both her and Ji Moyu's staffs were handcrafted by Chu Qiuchi. They retained their original design from the simulator, even their names remained unchanged. However, the crystals inlaid at the top of the staffs had been completely replaced.

Now, the top of Chu Qiuchi's staff is inlaid with the level-six magic rune core that Chu Siyuan brought back. This core grants the staff greater power and increases skill casting effects by 30%, making the staff even more formidable in Chu Qiuchi's hands.

Ji Moyu's staff was inlaid with a level 7 magic rune core sent to him by his father, which had a more significant effect than Chu Qiuchi's staff, directly increasing the skill release effect by 50%.

Chu Yichen's staff was also crafted by him personally, with the sixth-level magic rune crystal core that Chu Siyuan had given him as a reward embedded at the top.

Nalan Xingyao meticulously crafted the staffs for herself and Puyang Minghui. The level seven magic rune crystals on the staffs were carefully prepared by their respective families, demonstrating the profound foundation of the five great families.

Nalan Xingyao had asked Chu Qiuchi and Chu Yichen if they needed help to exchange their crystal cores for level seven magic runes, but they refused. It wasn't because they couldn't afford them, but because those two level six magic rune crystal cores carried their parents' love and expectations for them.

The morning light filtered through the gaps in the curtains, gently caressing Chu Qiuchi's face. She awoke from a night of cultivation, stretched contentedly, and pushed open the door. The room next door was empty; the silence made her feel slightly uneasy.

Last year, during her final participation in the academy competition, one of the prizes she received was a precious magical potion—Cloud Breath Grass. Through Chu Qiuchi's tireless efforts and repeated experiments, she finally developed a potion that could confuse the magical energy within her body, which she named "Illusion Potion."

Having taken the Illusion Potion, Long Yueze was finally able to escape the academy's surveillance and return to his family's homeland—the Great Forest of Aris. For years, those who had been lying in wait for him at the forest entrance had become complacent, and Chu Qiuchi's Illusion Potion further deceived everyone, allowing him to return to the Beast Clan effortlessly.

Long Yueze officially entered adulthood two years ago, and has now advanced to level 7. Six years of living and working together have fostered a deep brother-sister bond between him and Chu Qiuchi, and both felt extremely reluctant to part ways.

Long Yueze's return undoubtedly stirred up a new wave of excitement among the beastmen, especially after they learned that he had reached adulthood. As Long Yueze began investigating the truth behind his past pursuit, the atmosphere within the beastmen became tense.

To Chu Qiuchi, the turmoil involving the beastmen seemed like a story from another world, and she didn't pay much attention to it. Occasionally, she would learn some scattered news from magical messages sent by Long Yueze, but to her, those turmoil were nothing more than distant whispers.

Her gaze fell on the empty room across the way, and a faint sense of loneliness welled up in her heart.

Chu Qiuchi sighed softly, "Habit is a terrible thing!" He then gently closed his own door, walked to Ji Moyu's door, and knocked lightly.

The door opened with a click, and Ji Moyu, already tidied up, stood tall and straight. The two walked side by side towards the dining room, ready to have breakfast together. This habit had remained unchanged for many years, becoming an unspoken understanding between them.

As the years passed, Ji Moyu's features became more and more refined, and his appearance gradually revealed an irresistible charm, as if he was born with a captivating quality.

Of course, that's assuming you ignore the cold aura he exudes. Only in front of his teammates does he occasionally drop that icy exterior and show a hint of gentleness.

The two entered the restaurant, carefully selected their breakfasts, and found a quiet corner to sit down. Chu Qiuchi's gaze inadvertently fell on Ji Moyu, quietly observing his eating.

Ji Moyu seemed to feel the slightly burning gaze, looked up, and asked with a hint of confusion in her eyes, "What's wrong?"

Caught off guard by the sudden question, Chu Qiuchi coughed lightly, trying to cover her embarrassment, and said half-jokingly, "It's nothing, it's just that watching such a beautiful woman like you eat makes me feel hungry!"

Ji Moyu was already used to Chu Qiuchi's teasing; over the years, Chu Qiuchi's verbal taunts had become commonplace for him. He responded nonchalantly, "You have an amazing appetite, stop looking!" After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to focus on his breakfast.

Chu Qiuchi's expression froze instantly upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashing in his eyes: "Little Fish, you've changed! How come you've even learned to be sarcastic? If we don't talk about appetite, we can still be good friends!"

Since Long Yueze left, her eating habits have finally returned to normal, and she no longer needs to go to restaurants to get takeout. But everyone's impression of her seems to be deeply ingrained, especially Ji Moyu, who habitually brings her an extra serving of milk and eggs after breakfast every day. Alas, it seems this reputation is hard to shake off.

On the way to the gravity training room, Chu Qiuchi cast an inquiring glance at Ji Moyu: "Little Fish, are you about to break through?"

"Not yet, it might take another two weeks."

Chu Qiuchi sighed softly, "You'll need another half month, and the others will probably need more than a month! I really want to go out and gain experience! After staying in school for so many years, I feel like I'm growing mushrooms!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Moyu paused slightly: "Soon!"

Years of physical training have allowed them to break through their current physical limits and enter the next stage, enabling them to train their physical fitness in the gravity training room.

In recent years, Mingxi Holy Academy has repeatedly achieved comeback victories in the academy competitions despite differences in magic levels, thanks to the excellent physical fitness of its students. This has led the entire Aurora Empire to place greater emphasis on physical training. Warriors in the major war zones, in particular, have intensified their training efforts.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the gravity training room, Chu Yichen, Nalan Xingyao, and Puyang Minghui were already waiting there. Time flies like water; the little ones of yesteryear have all grown into handsome young men.

Chu Yichen is now half a head taller than Chu Qiuchi, and her personality has become more lively and cheerful. She has established deep friendships with everyone in her class, and even has many acquaintances in other classes. She is especially popular with the girls.

Nalan Xingyao has a more aloof temperament, and when she doesn't smile, she has a captivating charm. Standing next to Ji Moyu, the two look more like siblings.

Puyang Minghui was still that sweet little girl, only the baby fat on her face had faded a bit, revealing her delicate bone structure and a resemblance to Ji Moyu.

With the arrival of Chu Qiuchi and Ji Moyu, the team atmosphere instantly became lively. Puyang Minghui's eyes gleamed with excitement as she eagerly suggested, "Qiuchi, we've been training in the Level 1 gravity chamber for half a month and are completely accustomed to 10 times gravity. How about we challenge ourselves in the Level 2 gravity chamber today and try the intensity of 20 times gravity?"

Chu Qiuchi looked around at his teammates, and Chu Yichen and Nalan Xingyao's eyes were also full of anticipation: "It seems that you have all discussed it?"

She turned to Ji Moyu, and seeing him nod slightly with eagerness in his eyes, she decisively said, "Alright, let's go to the Level 2 gravity chamber. But why do you suddenly want to intensify your training?"

Chu Yichen explained earnestly, "Aren't we about to go to the war zone for training? I've heard the training intensity there is no joke, and we don't want to hold them back."

Chu Qiuchi nodded understandingly: "I understand. Then let's work together. I've also been researching a drug that can enhance physical strength. If it's successful, it should bring a new breakthrough to our physical abilities."

Puyang Minghui's eyes lit up, and she said with surprise, "Qiuchi, you are amazing! The mental power training device that you led Xingyao and Yichen to develop has already caused a sensation throughout the empire. Now you are going to start developing a new drug?"

Chu Qiuchi pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Yes, I think physical fitness is very important to us! However, the testing of this potion requires the extraction of various magical potions, and I need your and Xiaoyuer's assistance. Actually, I would prefer to develop a magical artifact that can resist mental attacks, but the current materials are not sufficient. When we go out to train, we should also look for those special insulating materials."

Puyang Minghui puffed out her chest and confidently assured him, "Don't worry, we'll definitely support you, right, Brother Yu!"

As she spoke, she gently nudged Ji Moyu, who nodded slightly and responded succinctly and firmly, "Mm!"

Chu Yichen and Nalan Xingyao exchanged a knowing glance and said in unison, "Sister, don't worry, just let us know if you need anything. We'll always be your capable assistants!"

After agreeing on the plan, they entered the Level 2 training room together, ready to face today's rigorous training.
