Our first dinner at Nirvana High School was a big meal hosted by Principal Qian.

The meal was enjoyed by both the host and guests.

Upon returning, Principal Qian was overjoyed to find that the six students had been diligently practicing with their magical aids, making the most of every minute. He repeatedly praised them for their promising future.

Old Qian and Feng Tianxiao opened two more bottles of wine, claiming they would talk all night long.

Lu Shi then bid farewell and returned to her room to cultivate. After closing the door, she first checked on Xiao Ya in her spatial dimension and found it still asleep amidst the swirling smoke. She asked Xiao Jianjian and learned that the incense was harmless to it and could even promote its growth, so she let it be.

After finishing everything, Lu Shi decided to complete the important part of the day: fusing the magical spiritual root.

As instructed by Xiao Jianjian, Lu Shi sat cross-legged on the bed.

"Master, are you ready?"

"Um."

Afterwards, Lu Shi cleared her mind and prepared for the upcoming changes.

Two magical roots, one black and one white, suddenly appeared out of thin air and floated in front of Lu Shi. Then, the two magical roots decomposed into countless tiny points of light. The points of light began to flicker, and Lu Shi stretched out his hands to guide them. The points of light gradually gathered together, forming a powerful flow of energy.

Suddenly, energy flowed into Lu Shi's body through her hands.

As the energy flow intensified, Lu Shi began to experience intense pain.

The pain felt like it was tearing her body apart. It was worse than being pricked in the head with needles; her body felt like it was being split in two.

However, having weathered many storms, Lu Shi gritted her teeth, kept a clear head, and used her willpower to guide and control this powerful energy flow.

"Master, you must control this energy. If it gets out of control, you might die."

"You idiot, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Lu Shi cursed inwardly, suffering terribly.

After enduring the most difficult half hour, Lu Shi's body suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.

The left side of its body is black, while the right side exudes white.

The light gradually dimmed.

Two tree-like spiritual roots, one black and one white, were generated once again.

This time, however, the spiritual root was completely translucent, looking countless times better than when it fell out of Wen Tianming's body.

The two newly generated magical spiritual roots flickered a few times, then disappeared again, eventually merging completely into Lu Shi's body.

Within the consciousness space, in the shadow realm, a tree-like spiritual root is entwined, and the flow of magic is made smoother with the support of the root.

In the area of ​​the Mind System, there was also a tree-like spiritual root that was wrapped around it, emitting a white light.

The light emanating from the two magical spiritual roots, one black and one white, made the already colorful consciousness space even more dazzling.

Lu Shi opened her eyes and exhaled deeply.

Silently activating the Shadow magic, I felt that the power and effects of all Shadow magic had almost doubled.

It seems that the Mind system has also received a similar boost.

These two magical spiritual roots have completely elevated these two elements to a higher level.

"Master, guide it according to the method I taught you, and see if you can generate a Tai Chi diagram." Little Scissors happily shook its head and transmitted a magic casting technique into Lu Shi's mind.

To copy something exactly.

Lu Shi slowly traced the lines with both hands.

This time, without any external help, I had to figure it out entirely on my own.

Two symbols, one black and one white, rose from Lu Shi's left and right hands, slowly bringing his hands together. The two symbols began to merge and rotate, eventually forming a Tai Chi symbol.

"We did it!" Little Scissors shouted excitedly.

Lu Shi also felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Look, I succeeded on the first try, without relying on cheats. I'm a genius too.

After practicing the release and fusion several more times, I became more and more proficient.

However, I still can't make the Tai Chi diagram appear automatically with a thought.

Ultimately, Lu Shi could only make the Tai Chi diagram appear in the desired position within one second.

Good, now we have another trump card in our hand.

"Little Scissors, shouldn't we pay a visit to the Wang family?" Lu Shi was in a very good mood.

"Let's go, let's scout ahead tonight. If all goes well, we'll kill Wang Batian. It seems he's investigating Wang Yunshui's death," Xiao Jianjian agreed.

Lu Shi changed into a black bodysuit and then put on a trench coat.

He left without hesitation, activating Shadow Cloak.

Six students were practicing in their assigned dormitories, while Lao Feng and Lao Qian were drinking and talking all night.

Lu Shi left with peace of mind.

After using Shadow Cloak to leave, Lu Shi used Wind Track to travel for more than ten minutes before entering a bustling street.

She hailed a taxi. Lu Shi pulled open the back seat and got in.

"Master, are we going to the Wang family?"

The driver wasn't very old either. When he saw Lu Shi in the rearview mirror, he looked quite amazed and slowly asked, "Which Wang family?"

"Are there many Wang families in J City? I'm going to the Wang family, one of the four great magic families!" Lu Shi raised her voice.

"Oh, beautiful lady, it's so late. Are you going to the Wang family to see the eldest son of the Wang family?" The driver seemed to encounter similar situations frequently.

"Young Master Wang? Who is that?" Lu Shi asked curiously.

"Wang Batian! He changes partners every day and has a new one every night. You're so pretty, he'll definitely choose you tonight!" The driver's words were full of certainty.

Lu Shi had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

It seems that Wang Batian's reputation for womanizing has spread far and wide.

"Miss, at this hour, Young Master Wang is definitely out at night. I'll take you there directly. You won't find him at the Wang family's residence." The driver remained certain.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Master." Lu Shi said politely.

...

The taxi was driving.

Lu Shi looked out the window.

The night view of J City has an even more magical punk feel than during the day.

In the night scene, the neon lights, like a liquid dream, flow between the glass curtain walls of skyscrapers, reflecting colorful light and shadow. The city sky is cut into countless fragments by towering buildings, each fragment inlaid with flashing billboards and light strips, like countless stars falling into a jungle of reinforced concrete.

The air was filled with the faint warmth of various devices and the aroma of street food. These smells intertwined, creating a unique atmosphere. In the shops lining both sides of the street, holographic projections danced on the shop windows, displaying all sorts of exotic goods and services. Pedestrians hurried by, their faces reflected in various colors of light and shadow, their expressions becoming blurred in the interplay of light and shadow.

The taxi stopped in front of a bar. A large group of young men and women were walking in and out, embracing each other; they were completely different from the pedestrians they had encountered before.

The driver pointed to the neon sign that read "Night Scene" hanging on the gate and said with concern, "Miss, this is it. I heard that Young Master Wang is very generous. I hope you can hitch a ride with him tonight and make a fortune."

After paying the fare, Lu Shi realized she only had a few dozen yuan left in her pocket.

Alas, I am now completely penniless.

"Thanks for your kind words. I'll try to make a fortune tonight." Lu Shi gave a thumbs up and strode towards the gate of Nightfall.

Two young men were guarding the door. One of them had faint magical fluctuations. Although his level was not high, only at the initial stage, the fact that a mage was guarding the door showed that Nightfall was quite powerful.

As Lu Shi approached, the magician whistled.

"So, beautiful lady, are you here today to have a romantic encounter with Young Master Wang? Too bad you're a bit late. You have quite a few rivals today. But with your looks, you should be able to capture his heart!"

"It's alright. Tonight, I'll make sure Wang Batian has an unforgettable night." Lu Shi smiled radiantly.

He added in his mind, "Yes, this might be his last night."

After saying that, Lu Shi, under the watchful eyes of the two young men, swayed her hips and walked into the night.
