The convoy traveled for more than twenty hours before entering the city of J the following night.
Think about the military mages who came to support N County back then. It would take them 8 hours to fly there by Cloud Eagle. Driving is already quite fast.
After entering the city limits, it took another half hour of driving to reach the resettlement area that J City had set up in advance.
Sitting in the car, looking at the rows of tall buildings, the ordinary surviving residents from N County probably filled this neighborhood. But judging from the condition of those buildings, you can imagine how comfortable they are.
The minibus carrying Lu Shi and the others did not enter the residential area, but continued forward for another ten minutes before stopping in front of a detached villa.
I assumed that J City's population, economic situation, and geographical environment were infinitely better than N County's. The environment must be infinitely better too, but there are no skyscrapers or lush greenery to be found.
Whether it's the villa they live in or the resettlement community, looking around, it's clearly even more desolate than N County... this is post-disaster N County!
The minibus dropped off the passengers and their luggage, then turned around and left, seemingly unwilling to stay any longer.
Feng Tianxiao scratched his head sheepishly and said apologetically to everyone, "Land prices in J City are too high, every inch of land is precious. We couldn't find a suitable large house for so many of us all at once. So we asked someone to help us find a connection and rented this place temporarily."
She added, "We'll stay here for the next two months. Once we're all enrolled at J City Magic High School, we can apply for on-campus accommodation, which will be much more convenient."
"Principal Feng, we don't mind." The six students nodded sensibly and went to choose their rooms.
Although the place is desolate, the villa we rented is spacious enough.
The building has three floors and more than a dozen rooms. The six students each chose one they liked and moved in. They were also thoughtfully given the best and most comfortable rooms for Lu Shi and Feng Tianxiao.
Everyone happily tidied their own rooms.
Feng Tianxiao personally went out and bought a large amount of exquisite J City specialty food to celebrate everyone's new life.
After sharing their first meal together in their new home, they each returned to their own rooms.
Lu Shi lay on the bed in her assigned room, making plans for the next step.
Xiaoya nestled in her arms, sleeping soundly.
When there are people around, it will consciously go into stealth mode. It's unimaginable that a leopard about the size of Garfield could be like this. After it becomes invisible, it's completely undetectable and you can't feel its weight. Lu Shi can only vaguely feel Xiao Ya curled up on her shoulder.
But when no one is around, Xiaoya will snuggle into Lu Shi's arms and act coquettishly.
They would always insist on sleeping together at night.
"Master, this is your next special training plan, take a look!" Little Scissors' voice interrupted Lu Shi's thoughts.
"Little Scissors, are you a devil?" Staring at the training plan that was sent to her, Lu Shi gritted her teeth and asked, "Hey, I'm a noble magician! You want me to hone my body like a barbarian? Look, weighted running? Swinging scissors for an hour every day to practice cutting techniques."
"And this is even worse, requiring electric shocks every night? You want to be Professor Yang, the Thunder King? Be careful, or I'll sue you for women abuse." Lu Shi was increasingly alarmed as she read on.
"With your frail body, you can't unleash your full power. You must understand, even a mage without a strong physique is like a glass cannon, shattering at the slightest touch. In this world, human magic is so powerful, yet it's still suppressed by magical beasts—it's simply because the physical differences between mages and magical beasts are too great." Little Scissors comforted her, "Think about your master, Li Cuiling. With that physique, she might even have a chance to break through to the Super-Rank. The stronger your body, the higher your magical achievements will be; they complement each other, Master!"
"Stop reading, stop reading, I'll practice, okay? But..." Lu Shi's eyes darted around, and she said seriously, "I want those six students to undergo special training too. Will your training methods be suitable for them?"
"Master, you're the devil! They're still children!"
"I'm still a woman!"
"I've never considered you a woman! You're clearly a violent tomboy."
"Don't change the subject, can it be used or not?"
"Yes, that's fine. However, I suggest starting gradually, letting them begin with one-tenth of the intensity."
Why the hell didn't you let me proceed step by step?
“Master is no ordinary person. You were born with dual attributes, and you have two cheat codes activated. You definitely need to meet different requirements.”
"Get out of here!"
...
The next day, at five o'clock in the morning, it was just getting light.
Lu Shi pulled the six students out of their meditation.
"Listen up, from now on, every morning, everyone will run fifty kilometers!" Lu Shi, dressed in sportswear and doing warm-up exercises, announced to the six students.
"What? Teacher Lu, the special training you mentioned before is just torture! We might as well practice casting spells instead." Zhou Rui asked suspiciously.
“Don’t you think your bodies are too weak? In actual combat, your physical condition is a huge hindrance. Although advancing in magic will improve your physical abilities, a body you train yourself will allow you to cast spells more quickly and flexibly,” Lu Shi explained.
"But the speed of casting spells still comes down to familiarity with and ability to draw star charts! Physical strength is just icing on the cake. We can't let our normal spellcasting training and meditation interfere with our lives!" Wu Lie added.
"Your worries are unnecessary. Starting today, I will provide you with auxiliary magical artifacts for your evening meditations and afternoon magic casting training. The morning sessions will be arranged by Teacher Lu from now on. Students, for those who want to advance from high-level to super-level, physical health is the most important thing. It's only now that I'm this old that I regret being too lazy when I was young." Feng Tianxiao stepped forward and spoke up for Lu Shi.
Upon hearing the principal's words, all six students were assigned cultivation artifacts, and they all smiled and happily began to warm up, preparing for their running training.
"Principal Feng, thank you!" Lu Shi said earnestly.
“Shishi, these are the only six students left at our N County Magic High School. After them, the school will cease to exist. All the magical artifacts we’ve accumulated will be given to them. You are a top student who graduated from the Capital Magic University, so I trust you with these in mind.” Feng Tianxiao looked at Lu Shi with anticipation, his words particularly sincere.
He then added, "By the way, Shishi, come with me to J City Magic High School at noon."
"Ah! What is it?" Lu Shi asked, puzzled.
"First, I'll introduce you to the members of the school committee. Second, at Cuiling's request, I'll take you to undergo your third awakening." Feng Tianxiao said earnestly, "I never imagined that you could advance two levels in less than a month after arriving in N County, reaching the advanced stage. Cuiling said you've been accumulating knowledge and experience for so many years, and it only came to fruition after this dangerous experience in real combat. Shishi, you're a genius, you..."
Lu Shi didn't pay attention to what Feng Tianxiao said next; she only knew that she was about to awaken again.
Awaken my ass!
"Master, don't worry, your soul strength is high enough. You can awaken a few more times without any problem. You're practically a cheat code user," Little Scissors comforted her.
"But if I do this, am I breaking the rules of advancement in the magical world?"
"You're like a cheat code, all your magic is working normally, what's the panic? Come on, it's time to train," Little Scissors urged casually.
In the morning, Lu Shi absentmindedly led six students to complete a 50-kilometer run.
This distance, longer than a marathon, was covered by the seven people in less than two hours.
Lu Shi sighed, realizing that she and her companions had broken the world record from her previous life with ease.
Magicians are physically weak; it really depends on who you compare them to.
Compared to ordinary people, a magician's body is still a superhuman existence.
After finishing their run, the six students returned to their rooms, took out their magical artifacts, and began cultivating.
Lu Shi nodded in approval at his positive attitude.
"Little Jianjian, I don't think simply running will improve us much. We need to do something really demanding."
"I told you to go straight to it a long time ago. Today is the first day, just consider it an adjustment period. Master, it's time for you to set off," Little Scissors reminded her.
Lu Shi washed up, tidied herself up, changed into a business suit, and left the room.
Her appearance amazed Feng Tianxiao.
Looking at the charming Lu Shi, the old man nodded, instructed the six students to study on their own, and then led Lu Shi to the waiting car outside.
Sitting in this magical Maybach worth over a million, Lu Shi couldn't help but recall the first time she rode in Zhang Junshang's luxury supercar.
This time, it felt different again.
But the only constant truth is... it's good to be rich!
