system!

When her biggest secret was exposed, Lu Shi's mind went blank, as if she had stopped thinking.

"Looks like I was right." The man in black's expression turned amused as he noticed Lu Shi's change in demeanor. "In just over three months, you've gone from a barely mid-level white mage to a super-level mage with six out of nine elemental attributes. It seems the system has given you far more help than I did back then!"

"Ah! You are too..." Lu Shi was completely shocked.

"Haha, no, I'm not! Don't guess! I'm a native mage of this world. I just took the system from that arrogant transmigrator before you once." The man in black raised one hand and clenched his fist. "I hope you won't be like that idiot before and return the system to me willingly. Otherwise, I'm not one to show mercy to women."

"Come and take it yourself if you dare!" Lu Shi snapped out of her daze.

So what if I'm the strongest in the world? My "cheat poem" title isn't just for show; I rose to power by stepping over the corpses of the Shadow Society members.

Under the magic-suppressing space, even a member of the Shadow Society is slaughtered like a chicken.

Think it and do it.

The deep purple light of the magic-suppressing space instantly appeared, enveloping everything within.

The little fox immediately withdrew from the possessed state and hid in a corner.

A large pair of scissors appeared in Lu Shi's hand.

Looking at his own hands, a moment of confusion flashed in his eyes. "What kind of heretical practice is this? Magic suppression? We can't cast spells together, friend or foe? What's the point?"

"The significance is that I'm confident I can cut your head off with scissors."

With a snap, Lu Shi flashed forward and lunged at someone.

Yi took a few steps back, easily avoiding the lock-like strike of the large scissors.

His formidable physical abilities are on full display.

"Good physical condition is useless; skill is more important."

The giant scissors opened and closed, Lu Shi swung her legs, twisted her body, and leaped into the air, soaring nearly three meters into the air.

"Without magic, how can you jump this high using only your body?" Staring at Lu Shi in mid-air, a hint of emotion finally appeared on his face.

"Have you ever seen a cutting technique that seems to fall from the sky? Today, I'll show you."

Lu Shi, who was in mid-air, plummeted rapidly, her body moving so fast that only afterimages could be seen. Her speed was no less than when she released a wind magic spell, and the giant scissors stabbed hard into Yi's chest.

*Pfft*

The scissors pierced his body, penetrating his chest.

He clutched his chest, a look of surprise flashing across his face, but it quickly turned into relief. Finally, he gave Lu Shi a meaningful smile.

[Human forbidden spell mage killed, soul weight G, automatically absorbed]

Looking at the nearly 20,000 unabsorbed souls in his consciousness space, Lu Shi felt something was amiss.

Hiss hiss hiss.

The little fox instinctively let out a high-pitched and sharp cry, without even having a chance to speak consciously.

Rumble.

Lu Shi felt a jolt throughout her body and couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood.

The magic-suppressing space instantly collapsed.

In mid-air, a young man in black floated, surrounded by black mist. His handsome and charming face had a pair of black, star-like eyes that stared at Lu Shi with a mocking gaze.

"Little girl. You must have absorbed quite a bit of soul weight when you killed my forbidden spell projection!"

Lu Shi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and stared fiercely at the black-clad youth in the air.

"Damn it, could this be the true form of One?!"

"I can see the resentment in your eyes. But that's alright, what I like most is to break a person's pride and make them submit to me. Besides, conquering such a beautiful woman would definitely be even more satisfying!" The black-clad youth's smile had taken on a sinister edge.

"Then, the first step will be to strip you of your greatest reliance." The black-clad youth slowly raised his right hand, and multicolored lights flashed simultaneously.

"What is this?" Lu Shi's mouth opened slightly, forming a semi-circular "o," as various magic types appeared almost simultaneously. Her expression froze, and she was unable to express her shock in words.

"Hehe, the ultimate secret of fusion magic is the fusion of all elements. Now, system, obediently return to my body." Yi's right hand reached out and grabbed Lu Shi.

In an instant, Lu Shi felt an unprecedented emptiness, as if a part of her body had been ruthlessly ripped away. Her face turned pale, and her lips pressed tightly together, as if she wanted to lock that painful sense of loss deep inside.

"No."

Although she kept saying she wanted to complain about this system that only worked like a battle log, Lu Shi never imagined that one day, this greatest support she had ever had since her transmigration would disappear and leave her.

"Master, that being... was absorbed!" Little Scissors exclaimed in equal surprise.

Lu Shi carefully sensed that although her strength was still there, the magical radiance in each area of ​​her consciousness space was still shining brightly, and even the weight of the unabsorbed souls in her consciousness container was still there. However, there was no longer a control panel, nor the mechanical system voice.

"Haha, you're back! This time, let's continue to drain the souls of this world, so that I can become an eternal being. You can't imagine how unbearable it was to have my strength stagnate without you." The one in mid-air was talking to itself frantically.

Lu Shi knew that the system had entered Yi's body.

"Little girl, now, submit to me. To be honest, you really do please me." His tone softened somewhat, and Yi's gaze shifted to Lu Shi.

"You maintain the appearance of a teenager, but you're actually some kind of ancient monster whose age is unknown. I like young, fresh meat, not someone like you who's an old, dried-up piece of meat that's been dried up for who knows how many years. Die!"

As the lightning spear fell, Lu Shi was determined to bite it even if it meant her death.

His expression turned cold. The lightning spear struck his head, but instead of causing any harm, the lightning magic seemed to be absorbed, turning into electricity that coursed through his body.

"You're courting death. If you don't submit, become fuel for my soul."

When he got really angry, he stretched out his hands and made a pinching motion.

Lu Shi suddenly felt her throat being locked by an invisible force of space, and was involuntarily lifted into the air. She frantically waved her hands, trying to break free from the restraints in her throat, but all her efforts were in vain. The feeling of suffocation grew stronger and stronger, and the sensation of impending death was terrifying.

Suddenly, the pressure in her throat eased, and Lu Shi fell to the ground, unable to stop coughing violently.

"Take your apprentice and leave quickly," the aged voice rang out.

Lu Shi looked up and saw Li Cuiling standing in front of her. Without saying a word, she picked her up and sped off towards the capital.

"Master," Lu Shi called out with difficulty.

"Let's hurry. The three Archmages will handle it." Li Cuiling carried Lu Shi, their speed undiminished.

Through Li Cuiling, Lu Shi saw three elderly men with white hair and beards floating in the air, confronting each other.

"It's you three old geezers again. You were the ones who ruined my plans back then, and you still dare to show your faces in front of me today," he said arrogantly.

"First, you are attempting to destroy the world and kill all living things. A madman like you should not exist in this world," an elderly mage said angrily.

"When the system left my body, I felt it was a bit of a waste to kill the three of you. Now that the system has returned, I'll use the souls of you three old geezers as fuel for me to become the ruler of this world!"

boom……

The last thing Lu Shi saw was the three old men glowing with a deep red light, flames engulfing the sky, leaving only a sea of ​​fire.
