Rock Kingdom: Why is black smoke coming out of my star chart?

Chapter 47 The Power of Illusion and Reality

Lin Feng said goodbye to Martha and teleported back to his room.

There were still some busy sounds coming from the living room; it seemed that Aunt Lorraine had finished her work for the day.

As soon as the door opened, Aunt Lorraine almost dropped the rag in her hand and hurried over to greet her.

"Lin Feng? Why are you back? Isn't today the first day of school at the magic academy?"

Lin Feng snapped his fingers, conjuring a magic wand in his hand, and winked, saying, "Of course, it's because of magic!"

"Oh, right! Ah! Teleportation magic is so convenient." Aunt Lorraine sighed, hands on her hips. "If I knew teleportation magic, I could save so much work at the docks every day!"

Lin Feng, considering his decent alchemy skills and the gradual increase in his elf strength, figured he might not be so short of money, and said, "Auntie, why don't you stop working? I can earn tens of thousands of Lockon coins in a minute now. I'll support you!"

Aunt Lorraine chuckled and said, "Good, Lin Feng is really capable now! But if I suddenly stop moving around, I'm afraid my body will rust!"

"Okay! But I'm much more capable than you imagine now! Don't worry about any trouble!"

……

After dinner, Lin Feng returned to his room and took out the book Enzo had given him from his bag.

Choices Beyond Positive and Negative

Introduction: Locke's emotions gave rise to two diametrically opposed energies: one is the power of will generated by positive emotions, and the other is the power of nightmares generated by negative emotions.

However, I discovered a third type of energy, which is inert and generally does not react without external stimulation.

Once this energy is activated, it will continuously split into two alternating forms, one illusory and one real, unleashing tremendous destructive power...

Lin Feng gently pressed his chin, pondering, "What does Enzo mean by giving me this book? Does he think I've come into contact with the so-called third energy?"

"Or rather, he discovered my birth chart..."

Lin Feng took a deep breath, raised his hand and summoned his star chart. A faint black mist slowly swirled around the stars in the chart.

It lacks the pure white starlight of a normal natal chart, the warm and gentle aura of wish power, and the chilling coldness of nightmare energy.

"So he thinks you are the so-called third type of energy?" Lin Feng gently stroked the stars in the star chart. It was empty, without any contract marks or wishing stars.

He tried to infuse magic into it, but it seemed to be filled with something, making it difficult to inject magic.

Lin Feng picked up "Choices Beyond Positive and Negative" and continued reading.

The book's research stems from a meteorite, which the author discovered was becoming increasingly illusory while the surrounding flames were becoming increasingly solid.

Therefore, he speculated that there was an energy on the meteorite that was splitting into two completely different energies, which were acting on the meteorite and the flames respectively.

Since the research began, the energy within the meteorite has seemed inexhaustible. Even after turning the meteorite itself into an illusion and its surroundings into flames, it continues to exert its influence.

The author boldly speculates that this power did not originate from the meteorite, but from the continent of Carlosia itself; it was just that the meteorite activated this dormant energy.

As he expected, his research revealed a type of star that resonated with this energy among countless stars.

These types of stars are called: Death Stars.

Lin Feng suddenly realized that he had come into contact with this power a long time ago!

"The energy released by the Willpower Impact?" Lin Feng tapped the table with his fingertips, recalling the scene when he used the Willpower Impact.

When he prayed to the stars in the sky, none of them responded to him except for one silent, dark star.

Calling it the Death Star is quite fitting!

The power of illusion... Because he wanted the elves opposite to die, he turned their deaths into reality? And the resulting illusion was that the magic power within him became an illusion?

Why did the wealth and nobility also perish when they touched this power a second time?

He had no intention of dying rich and noble!

"Wait! Perhaps wealth and status are not annihilation, but rather an illusion! A transformation into illusion from the inside out! I see!"

Lin Feng shuddered. "This ability to turn the illusory into the real and the real into the illusory feels even more chilling than a sacrifice!"

"However, if I wanted to transform into a giant, beautiful woman, could I materialize her?"

Lin Feng's gaze unconsciously drifted upwards, and images of the violent Martha and the annoying Mia inexplicably popped into his mind, causing him to shrink back in fright.

He sighed, preparing to close the book, wash up, and go to bed, when suddenly, a piece of paper fell out from the cover.

It reads: By filling this energy with a sturdy container and utilizing its ability not to react with other objects, one can accumulate power through potential energy.

The ink on this note is still wet, so it's very likely that it was written by Enzo!

Lin Feng paused, then sighed, "As expected! Enzo approached me because he had already discovered my problem."

Lin Feng paused, then sighed, "As expected! Enzo approached me because he had already discovered my problem."

However… since he chose to keep it a secret for me, I don’t need to worry too much about my safety until his plan unfolds.”

"Using potential energy? Like this?"

Lin Feng continuously poured magic power into the star chart, and then constructed a high-temperature rune to release the magic power.

Just then, the black mist of the star chart suddenly contracted, and a concentrated magical power surged back!

Lin Feng subconsciously raised his hand, and a small flame leaped up from his fingertip, its power nearly half again as strong as usual.

His eyes lit up slightly.

"Enzo's talent is truly remarkable. He already knows how to use this power without ever having encountered it before."

Lin Feng put away the star chart, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, crossed his legs and put them on the table, and murmured:

"Since this power is unrelated to nightmares and isn't some evil force, using it sparingly shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

The next morning, just as dawn broke.

Lin Feng stretched, lost his balance, and fell backward off the chair.

"What bad luck."

Lin Feng rubbed the back of his head, called the three jasmine plants on the windowsill to his side, squatted down, and gave them earnest instructions.

"I might not be home for a while, so please remember to protect Aunt Lorraine and don't let her wander off."

The little girls all waved their little hands, as if they understood, and gathered around to gently rub the back of his hand.

Lin Feng touched the leaves on their heads, then turned around and activated a teleportation spell.

A flash of white light, and the person appeared beside the source of magic power in the magic academy.

The college was very quiet in the early morning, with only a few students walking by carrying their books.

He had only taken a few steps when a gentle voice, tinged with amusement, came from the side.

"Lin Feng".

Lin Feng paused, knowing who it was without even turning around.

Enzo leaned against a pillar in the corridor, turned to look at Lin Feng, and said:

"Yesterday was the first class for new students, why didn't you come?"

Enzo slowly approached, asking with concern, "What trouble have you encountered?"

Lin Feng looked up at him, his tone indifferent: "No trouble."

He paused, then deliberately picked up the old book in his arms and shook it. "I was studying the book you gave me, and I got so engrossed that I lost track of time."

Enzo's gaze fell on the book, the smile on his lips froze almost imperceptibly, he coughed twice, and for a moment he couldn't say a word.

"They are indeed diligent."

Enzo coughed lightly, resuming his gentle demeanor. "Now, let's enjoy life at the magic academy."

After saying that, he gave Lin Feng a deep look, then turned and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Lin Feng chuckled, stuffed the book back into his bag, and walked towards the general education classroom.
