Zhang Gong decides to learn light magic, a magic few show interest in and eventually becomes the legendary Grand Magister. While trying to end the continent’s east and west separation in order to unite all of the different races, he becomes every race’s Child of Light.
💡 This is the debut novel of Tang Jia San Shao. It is a "historical artifact" of the web novel world—simplistic, cliché, and rough around the edges. It’s a short, breezy read that lacks the complexity of modern xianxia. Read this if you want a nostalgic, "Yu Yu Hakusho" style vibe or if you want to see where a legendary author started his journey. Note: The naming convention is reversed to Western style (First Name, Last Name), which can be confusing for seasoned CN readers.
Ch. 1–50 (The Lazy Student): ⭐⭐⭐ – The Setup. Zhang Gong is a lazy protagonist who chooses light magic specifically because it seems easy. The early chapters are lighthearted and focus on his school life and "accidental" genius.
Ch. 51–200 (The OP Rise): ⭐⭐ – The Childish Hero. The story moves fast—too fast for some. Zhang Gong becomes overpowered quickly, and the "Child of Light" prophecy begins to take over. Plot holes and logic gaps start to appear as the author finds his footing.
Ch. 201–357 (The Rush to the End): ⭐ – The Sprint. The final arcs are incredibly rushed. Complex political situations are solved by the MC simply lying or enemies acting "brain-dead." The romance and ending are often cited as the weakest points of the entire experience.
