The return trip from the city center went smoothly.

Lu Shi quietly entered her room at Nirvana High School.

Lying in bed, looking at his control panel, he hummed a little tune with a sense of pride.

Current remaining soul weight: 1330G

[Current remaining unabsorbed soul weight: 1248G]

[Current remaining monster soul weight: 371G]

...

Super-tier is within reach!

It's necessary to learn about skill combinations to quickly improve your nine magic systems.

Currently, he only has high-level skills in the Mind and Fire elements, and he is now relying entirely on his low-level and mid-level magic skills to contend with his opponents.

Although these skills are of a high level, they are still inferior to high-level magic.

After all, the higher the level, the stronger the magical attack power and the greater the variability.

If you are at the high level of the ninth element, then you have a good chance of challenging those of higher levels!

With sweet dreams in his mind and the lightning stimulation from Little Scissors in his body, the time for cultivation always passed quickly.

The next morning, Lu Shi led six students to complete the day's weighted running training.

At the end, Zhang Qinglan, Zhou Rui, and Wu Lie happily told Lu Shi.

They broke through and reached the intermediate level.

Good, 16 years old and at the intermediate level.

This level of ability would have placed them in the top ten in the previous Grade 11 classes 1 and 2.

With this comparison in mind, the three remaining students who had not yet made a breakthrough practiced even harder.

This time, the six students were even more convinced of the body-refining methods proposed by Teacher Lu.

Regardless, the six students excitedly went to tell Principal Qian and Principal Feng the good news.

Lu Shi decided to go back and catch up on her sleep.

As a result, I had just lain down.

I'm consciously practicing my scissor-using skills.

bump.

A loud bang came from inside the school gate.

Lu Shi suddenly woke up, rolled out of bed, and ran outside.

...

At the school gate.

The school sign of J City's Ninth Magic High School broke in two and fell to the ground.

Principal Qian and Principal Feng were confronting a group of people at the school gate.

The other party was menacing and clearly had ill intentions; they were obviously there to cause trouble.

The leader of the other side was a middle-aged man with a full head of blue hair.

A blue wind flowed through his hands. The blue wind seemed to possess a spirit, flowing nimbly, like a highly skilled dancer, creating an indescribable rhythm on his palm.

"Old Qian, didn't I warn you to cancel the school's registration? You said all your teachers and students have been transferred to our Jiang family's affiliated training institution, so why are you still keeping this empty school?" The middle-aged man spoke very directly.

As his voice rose and fell, the wind swayed even more violently.

"Jiang Fengtao, I don't want to close the school anymore. Does your Jiang family intend to bully us?" Principal Qian retorted, his neck stiff, looking defiant.

"Qian Wujin, don't push your luck." Jiang Fengtao waved his hand, and the wind in his palm transformed into a wind blade, shattering the school sign that was already split in two on the ground into even more pieces. "Go and cancel your school registration. Otherwise, next time this wind blade will cut you."

"Jiang Fengtao, isn't your Jiang family just after school accreditation? Luckily, Lao Feng reminded me. You're using underhanded tactics to trick me into canceling the school's registration, and you still dare to dream of taking over. Bah!" Qian Wujin spat on the ground, showing no decorum whatsoever of a school principal.

"With your level of school management, look what you've done to Ninth Magic High School. We should probably get someone more talented from us," Jiang Fengtao said confidently.

"Your training institutions under the Jiang family are swindling ordinary people out of their hard-earned money every day. When it comes to making money, you are even more greedy than the Phantom Magic Training Institution. If you were granted a license to operate a school, even more people would be harmed by you."

"Whether an ordinary person can awaken magic depends on talent. We give you money, we provide the opportunity, it's a mutual agreement, so what's fraud?"

"Ha, using the worst materials, with a success rate of less than one in a thousand, you managed to swindle an ordinary family out of their entire fortune. You've done this kind of thing quite a few times."

"I don't want to waste time talking to you. I'll just ask you one question: are you going to deregister the school or not?"

"No, I'd rather die than go."

"Fine, then... I'll kill you."

As he spoke, Jiang Fengtao's hands shone brightly with azure light, and two wind blades, accompanied by sharp whistles, slashed directly at Qian Wujin's head, seemingly intending to cleave him in two.

Qian Wujin raised his hands, and a yellow protective shield unfolded in front of him.

Sizzle.

The wind blades struck the protective shield, producing a piercing noise.

Then, the protective shield shattered, and Qian Wujin suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Pathetic. With this kind of strength, how can he be the principal?" Jiang Fengtao glanced at him disdainfully, and the cyan light in his hands gathered again.

Feng Tianxiao supported Lao Qian with his right hand and drew a star map with his left, preparing to fight back despite his injuries.

However, Jiang Fengtao suddenly stopped releasing the wind blades.

A white light appeared in front of his face, blocking a mental shock.

But this also made him stop drawing star charts.

The spell failed.

Jiang Fengtao stared at Lu Shi, who walked out from behind the two principals, his eyes filled with confusion.

He pulled a young man aside and asked, "Zhang Ye, who is this woman?"

Zhang Ye stared at Lu Shi for a while, a look of amazement on his face. But then he shook his head.

"I don't know this woman. She's not from Ninth Magic High School. She probably came with Principal Feng."

"Useless." Pushing Zhang Ye aside, Jiang Fengtao said to Lu Shi, "Woman, I'll give you a chance. Like Zhang Ye, leave Ninth High School and join my Jiang family's magic training institution. Whatever salary Qian Wujin gives you, I'll double it."

"Tsk tsk, how did you know I love money?" Lu Shi asked curiously.

Seeing that the other party was interested, Jiang Fengtao thought to himself that he had a chance and was preparing to add fuel to the fire. But Lu Shi's next words made him furious.

"Unfortunately, a gentleman... beautiful women love money, but there are proper ways to acquire it. There are some kinds of money I won't earn." Lu Shi pointed to the school gate and said loudly, "Thank you for helping us dispose of the old school sign. We are preparing to replace it with a new one. However, please leave now. If you don't leave, something impolite might happen."

Are you threatening me?

"No, I'm just stating the facts."

“You little brat, you haven’t even grown your hair yet, and you dare to talk to me like that…” Jiang Fengtao pointed at Lu Shi and said sternly.

But before he could finish speaking, he hurriedly stepped aside to avoid the three Shadow Spikes that were fired.

"I hate people who act like they're old and arrogant." Lu Shi's words were no longer polite.

"You little brat? I was thirty-five in my past life. I'm already twenty-three in this one, and you still dare to call me a little brat? I'll burn your hair!"

As he spoke, a blue light also shone beneath Lu Shi's feet.

With his right hand pointing to the sky, a thunder spear descended from the heavens, piercing towards Jiang Fengtao.

He easily dodged it.

However, he couldn't escape the instantaneous burning sensation on Lu Shi's left hand.

Hit.

Flames began to emerge from Jiang Fengtao's body.

A yellow light automatically emanated from his body, stopping the flames from burning.

"Another nouveau riche family. They not only have mind-based defensive magic artifacts, but also earth-based defensive magic artifacts. The magic families in J City are really wealthy," Lu Shi exclaimed again.

Seeing that the scorching flames were blocked, Jiang Fengtao smiled smugly.

But his laughter stopped abruptly.

【ignite】

The powerful explosive force blasted cracks into the defensive magical artifact.

Jiang Fengtao was so angry that he bit his lip until it bled.

"You're asking for it," he said, emphasizing each word.

Then, his figure transformed into a gentle breeze and rushed towards Lu Shi, accompanied by several wind blades.

The gleaming blade seemed poised to sever Lu Shi's vital points.

However, Lu Shi was moved.

With the added boost of the Category 10 wind rail, she was in no way inferior to Jiang Fengtao in terms of speed.

The wind blades didn't chase after Zhong Lushi; they all just grazed past her body.

Such speed caused Jiang Fengtao to freeze, seemingly unable to believe that his opponent possessed a speed no less than his own.

He gritted his teeth, stopped, and clasped his hands together. The blue energy flowed into his hands and gradually formed a spiral of energy.

Then, with a push of both hands, the spiraling energy shot straight into Lu Shi's chest.

This is Jiang Fengtao's trump card, a mid-level wind-type attack spell.

Cyclone cutting

However, Lu Shi smiled slightly.

Draw a silver star map with both hands.

The star map is displayed.

A silver mirror appeared on her chest.

Then, the spiraling energy entered it.

Amidst everyone's astonished gazes...

The spiraling energy reflected back at Jiang Fengtao at an even faster speed.

The energy surged into his body, piercing right through the earth-elemental defensive magic artifact. Jiang Fengtao hurriedly fell backward, the energy grazing his head, blowing off all his blue hair and revealing a patch of bloody scalp.

He touched his scalp, only to find his hand covered in blood. Jiang Fengtao roared and waved his hands, preparing to pounce on Lu Shi again.

"stop!"

A stern voice interrupted Jiang Fengtao's impending attack.
