On the panel, the number related to soul weight decreased rapidly.

48G……41G……33G……

It stopped at "18G".

The realms behind mind-based magic are also rapidly expanding.

[You begin meditation. After burning your soul to a weight of 4G, your mind magic reaches intermediate level, your Mind Purification magic skill upgrades, and you learn a new mind magic skill, Mind Impact.]

[Continue meditating. After burning your soul to a weight of 28G, your mind-based spells will reach advanced level. Your Mind Purification and Mind Impact spells will be upgraded. You will also learn a new mind-based spell, Mind Wall.]

[After burning 30G of soul weight, your mind magic is still at a high level, but you have become more proficient in using mind magic and seem to have gained new insights. However, these insights are not enough to reach a higher level...]

Mind-based (Advanced)

Magical Skills: Mind Purification, Mind Impact, Mind Wall

...

Lu Shi's body continued to struggle.

In her consciousness space, a small figure representing her soul was curled up and floating in the void, with a number marked above its head... 18.

Gazing upwards into space.

In the void of space, within the realm of white magic, the most striking feature is a white star map, signifying that the mind magic has reached an advanced level.

On the edge of this star map, there is a patchwork of intersecting star trails, which is the mark of a mid-level healing system.

A white light flashed in Lu Shi's eyes, and her consciousness began to draw a star map, attempting to unleash a mind-bombardment magic.

When she started trying it, she discovered that she was incredibly skilled at casting Mind Blast spells, as if she had cast them countless times before.

Great, so upgrading the panel not only increases the magic level, but also the casting proficiency.

Others need to go through countless attempts to control and practice releasing the power. But I can skip this process simply by burning mana... no, burning my soul.

It seems this panel isn't so useless after all.

Well then, take this, you pervert!

Lu Shi focused her attention and sped up the drawing of the white star map.

Magic shines in the star chart.

Star chart revealed!

Magic accomplished!

An invisible shockwave shot out from Lu Shi's eyes and hurtled toward the Demon Shadow Envoy's forehead.

"ah!"

The Shadow Envoy clutched his head, fell off the bed, screamed in agony, and crackled and popped all over his body.

Then, the visible yellow light shattered on his body, and the fragments fell down and gradually disappeared into nothingness.

"Good opportunity, the protective stone shield is shattered."

Lu Shi, suppressing the urge to explode, grabbed the scissors that had fallen to the side and stabbed at the Shadow Envoy.

This time, she didn't care about vital organs or anything like that; she just stabbed him.

Hot blood gushed from the Shadow Envoy's body, splattering onto Lu Shi's face and body.

Strangely, Lu Shi didn't show any fear. She had completely gone mad, using magic beyond her soul's limits, rendering her irrational. Only her remaining consciousness told her she had to kill this man.

Soon, Lu Shi was covered in soaking blood, emitting a nauseating metallic smell.

It's unclear how long they stabbed him, but the man on the ground was already unrecognizable from being stabbed by the scissors and was no longer moving.

Strangely, the scissors were absorbing something from the man's body, with wisps of yellow light flowing inward along the blade.

Unfortunately, Lu Shi is now a madwoman and knows nothing.

The panel popped up.

A new message appeared on the screen.

[Slayed a mid-level human mage; soul weight 42g, absorbable]

Is it absorbed?

Unfortunately, the madwoman Lu Shi completely ignored the panel's warnings and mechanically continued to poke the man on the ground with the scissors.

[If no reply is received within 30 seconds, the message will be automatically deleted.]

[Absorption complete]

In Lu Shi's consciousness space, the little soul figure, just like Lu Shi in reality, was acting like a madman, constantly waving its arms.

As the information prompts on the panel ended, an invisible container suddenly appeared in front of the little figure.

The invisible container displays the number 42.

The figure of the Shadow Envoy was now imprisoned within, struggling and twisting like a bound wild beast trying to break free and regain its freedom.

The container, seemingly transparent, was indestructible; it tightly enveloped the soul, preventing its escape.

The little hand of the soul figure continued to wave unconsciously.

Suddenly, her hand accidentally touched the surface of the container.

Then, the soul inside the container began to dissolve and decompose, then turned into a beam of light that flowed into the fingertips of the little soul figure.

The little soul figure stopped waving its hands and collapsed limply to the ground.

The numbers above the container begin to decrease, while the numbers above the little man's head gradually increase.

In reality, the scissors fell to the ground, and Lu Shi collapsed helplessly to the ground.

...

"Bang bang bang".

The urgent knocking on the door continued.

Then, the waiters outside called out loudly.

"Guests! Are you there? We'd like to open the door and come in."

“滋”.

The sound of a card being swiped came from the door lock.

Then, the door was pushed open.

The smell of blood wafted out.

"ah!"

The waiter's screams were so loud they seemed to pierce eardrums.

"It's so noisy."

In the space of consciousness, seemingly affected by the waiter's screams, the number above the little soul's head stopped at 48, while the number on the container stopped at 12.

What about Lu Shi in real life?

She was still unconscious on the ground, but the expression on her face was no longer crazed!

...

I woke up again.

Lu Shi found herself lying on a judge's chair in an interrogation room.

The excruciating headache and feeling of being unable to control myself that I had experienced before were gone. I was still a little dizzy, and I had been given a clean set of clothes.

As I sat up straight, I saw a serious-looking man in military uniform sitting opposite me.

He was in his thirties, with a resolute face, and staring intently at me.

"woke up?"

The soldier's voice was deep and resonant, carrying the air of a natural superior.

"Commander Zhang?"

The first name that came to Lu Shi's mind was this.

Zhang Junshang, the highest-ranking commander of the military region stationed in N County, is a high-level mage who has awakened the three elements of wind, fire, and earth.

He is, in name only, the strongest magician in N County, and also the military leader in charge of protecting this area.

"Are you fully awake now?" Zhang Junshang threw a pair of scissors on the table, pointed at them, and asked, "Now, can you explain why you were in the Summer Hotel's love room with the Shadow Envoy yesterday? And how did you manage to kill a mid-level earth mage with these scissors?"

"ah?"

Is it really that direct from the start?

I haven't figured out how to defend myself yet.

While mentally complaining, Lu Shi suddenly noticed a message on the panel.

Current remaining soul weight: 48G

[Current remaining unabsorbed soul weight: 12G]

Scrolling up through the history, Lu Shi burst out laughing.

So that's how you can play!

He kills people and absorbs their souls to replenish himself.

Haha, this cheat is amazing!

Zhang Junshang stared at the grinning woman, a strange glint in his eyes.

She's such a pretty girl. Could she have really gone crazy from all the stress?

However, Lu Shi's smile suddenly froze.

She felt a jumble of thoughts flash through her mind. Looking at Zhang Junshang in front of her, a tempting voice kept whispering in her mind: Kill him, suck his soul.

Her actions were faster than her thoughts; Lu Shi's hand had already reached for the scissors on the table.

Zhang Junshang had already sensed something was wrong; a blue light flickered in his eyes, and a six-pointed star flashed.

【Wind Prison】

Lu Shi instantly felt as if her body was bound by an invisible strong wind, unable to move.

"Lu Shi, you have suffered a severe shock and your mental state is very unstable right now. You are a mind mage, so you need to purify your mind quickly."

yes!

I'm a spiritual mage, how could I be tempted to commit a crime by a few whispers?

With his right hand, he drew a star chart for spiritual purification, which was a form of spiritual purification for himself.

In an instant, the world fell silent!
