Lin Xiao, an all-around mage proficient in all ten elements, recklessly researched compound forbidden spells and ended up in another world.
Here, martial arts flourished and technology was advanced, while magic had become a niche profession at the bottom of the barrel, despised by everyone.
Determined to revive magic, Lin Xiao entered an academy to take on disciples, only wanting to settle down and be a teacher.
As the years passed, the disciples he casually taught one by one became renowned across the world:
Fire and time-space: in a fit of rage, he burns the heavens; in an instant, ten thousand years pass. He is honored as the World-Burning Mage King.
Water and light: with one hand, he commands life; with the other, he protects. He is known as the Divine Guardian of the World.
Earth and summoning: one man can hold back a million troops. The world calls him the Immortal Bulwark.
Gale and shadow: he comes and goes without a trace, taking an enemy's head from ten thousand miles away. The world calls him the Dark Night Sovereign.
Thunder and space: before the sound arrives, he is already there; with a single thought, he travels a thousand miles. He is known as the Instant Prison God of Slaughter.
And Lin Xiao remained the same quiet, obscure instructor of the mage class, lying flat all day.
Until the cataclysm of the evil demons arrived, and monsters swept across the land. His former disciples each defended a region, fighting to the death against the demonic armies.
But the evil demons' ultimate boss looked down on all living beings, and even the disciples together could barely stand against it. The world teetered on the brink of destruction.
Just then,
Lin Xiao smiled faintly.
No matter. It's time for your teacher to step in.
