A refreshing scent emanates from within, making one feel relaxed and happy.
Lu Shi felt her mind was clear and her thinking was sharp, as if she could see through everything in the world. All her previous distractions and fatigue vanished.
She stretched out her arms wide, revealing the exquisite curves of her beautiful figure.
Huh!
The wind prison magic that had imprisoned him disappeared.
Zhang Junshang gazed at the captivating young woman before him. His throat tightened, and he involuntarily swallowed.
She's such an alluring enchantress, yet she puts on such a haughty and aloof act.
No wonder so many people have their eyes on him.
"Is it back to normal?" Zhang Junshang couldn't help but ask first.
"Hmm, that's about it, but we still need to..." As she spoke, Lu Shi's right hand flashed with white light, tracing star trails.
Star trails appear!
Magic!
The white light of the healing spell surged throughout Lu Shi's body, bathing her in it. She felt every cell in her body was full of vitality, and her whole body was relaxed and healed.
From Zhang Junshang's perspective, white light swirled around Lu Shi's forehead, and the conspicuous scar disappeared rapidly, quickly returning to smooth skin, completely healed.
"Such powerful healing magic! No wonder he's a white magic genius specially trained by the Capital Magic Association," Zhang Junshang exclaimed.
Despite the praise, Lu Shi inwardly scoffed.
Genius my foot!
He only became a mid-level mage at the age of twenty-three.
There are plenty of mid-level elemental mages who are seventeen or eighteen years old.
White mages have no direct combat ability, and in this magical world, even cultivation resources are allocated very little!
Thinking back to its predecessor, it's really quite frustrating.
Despite being hailed as a genius, she is not as famous as her own beauty.
But now it's my turn.
I want to be a ruthless and heartless black lotus.
No resources? No problem.
I'll do it myself!
For now, it's best to maintain the persona and not let others discover the secret of the heart replacement.
Having made up her mind, Lu Shi spoke directly: "Commander Zhang, you flatter me! I was too scared to remember much about what happened in that hotel. I only remember... I remember that I was also a victim, and that stabbing him with scissors was self-defense! He wanted... wanted to bully me. Waaah."
As she spoke, she squeezed out a few tears.
A beautiful woman shedding tears is even more heartbreaking.
“Well, based on your identity, I can basically rule out the possibility that you colluded with the Shadow Society. That Shadow Society member has committed numerous atrocities in N County, having already raped and murdered more than a dozen young girls. You did a good deed for the people. Although your methods were a bit heinous, it's probably because you were too deeply affected.” Seeing Lu Shi's pitiful appearance with tears in her eyes, Zhang Junshang took the initiative to explain for her, and handed her the scissors, adding, “Ahem, these scissors of yours are quite sharp, so you must be careful when using them in the future.”
It is definitely sharp.
These scissors don't look like ordinary items; I wonder what material they're made of.
Even among so many experts in the Capital Magic Association, no one could discern the origin of these scissors.
It was the only heirloom left by the previous incarnation's parents, which the previous incarnation treasured and always carried with them.
Although it cannot break through the magic of the protective stone shield, it can easily pierce through ordinary mortal flesh.
Lu Shi silently took the scissors. Upon holding them, she noticed they were much heavier and had a strange pulsation, as if they were alive. However, they didn't exhibit this behavior when held by Zhang Junshang.
Before Lu Shi could think any further, Zhang Junshang asked again, "By the way, why did you go to the Summer Hotel yesterday?"
"Ah! It was... it was Military Advisor Huang from the military region who sent me. He said he had something important to give me privately, and I trust him a lot, so I... that's why I went to the appointment," Lu Shi answered hesitantly.
As a high-ranking member of the military, Huang Junshi had been pursuing Lu Shi relentlessly ever since she arrived in N County. His invitation to a hotel would have been suspicious to anyone. Yet, the original owner of this body foolishly accepted, intending to make it clear that she was refusing. But upon arrival, she discovered it was a trap.
The poor little girl, so naive and foolish, paid the price with her life.
"Military Advisor Huang?" Zhang Junshang murmured the name, pondering for a long time before finally making a decision. He looked up and said in a low voice, "Lu Shi, Military Advisor Huang's identity is not simple, especially since the powerful family behind him is one you cannot afford to offend. Moreover, the person you killed was also not simple. I used my privileges to conceal your identity. However, just in case, don't go to the magic school to register for now. Go directly back to the Magic Association in N County."
After a pause, he continued, "You were just sent here to get some experience. You'll definitely be transferred back to the capital in less than three months. Perfect timing, you've already broken through to intermediate mage as soon as you arrived in N County. Go to the Magic Association and stay there for your second awakening. No matter what element you awaken, just focus on your cultivation, wait for your transfer order, and don't go out unnecessarily again."
Ha, they're trying to "protect" me.
The intention was good.
But I've just enjoyed the thrill of killing, absorbing souls, purifying, and leveling up, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation?
Cultivation is impossible.
But the man in front of me is powerful, influential, and terrifying.
Okay, I'll back down for now and think of something else when I get back.
Lu Shi lowered her head, hiding her thoughts.
Her lowered head, in Zhang Junshang's eyes, was taken as an implicit agreement.
...
Sitting in Zhang Junshang's luxury supercar, watching the man driving with one hand, he actually looked kind of handsome.
The sports car weaved through the traffic, attracting the attention of countless people.
Being stared at like that, Lu Shi felt a little...pleasant.
But this magical world is truly amazing.
Many items are the same as in the previous technological world, except there are no firearms, no computers, mobile phones and other electronic products, and no internet or electronic payment, just like going back to China in the 1960s.
Moreover, the energy that powers these vehicles and household appliances is no longer oil, wind power, or electricity, but magical energy.
Zhang Junshang escorted Lu Shi all the way to Huang Tian, the president of the N County Magic Association, gave him a long explanation, and then left.
Faced with the imposing Zhang Junshang, Huang Tian repeatedly assured him that he would take good care of Lu Shi and would never let her run around again.
Lu Shi stood to the side, full of resentment, but dared not show it, and could only continue to play the role of a weak parasitic flower.
After Zhang Junshang left, Huang Tian took Lu Shi directly to awaken.
He led her to a private, dark room.
Upon entering, a thick, star-shaped stone eerily floats in the air at the center of the dark room.
There is a clear handprint in the very center of the stone.
"Shishi! You've finally broken through to the intermediate-level mage. You're a natural dual-element mage, but unfortunately, both of your awakened elements are support-oriented. I hope you can awaken an element this time, preferably fire or lightning, to increase your self-protection capabilities." Huang Tian pointed to the awakening stone, earnestly helping Lu Shi make plans.
Lu Shi herself was also quite looking forward to it, after all, this was her first real experience of awakening, so she wished for a fire element.
Right hand pressed on the palm print...
Countless starlight shone on the Awakening Stone, forming streaks of starlight that, like special blood vessels, wrapped around Lu Shi's right hand.
Lu Shi stood there motionless, her head slightly raised.
"Crackling, crackling, crackling..."
Suddenly, a wave of heat swirled around the Awakening Stone.
Amazing flames erupted from Lu Shi's body.
"Fire...fire element! I've never seen such terrifying intensity of flames before. Our Magic Association has produced another genius!"
Huang Tian let out a scream.
Good heavens! I must hurry and tell Cuiling that her apprentice has made something of himself.
Then, Huang Tian hurriedly left the dark room.
Lu Shi remained standing there, without moving.
...
In the space of consciousness, as Lu Shi's hand pressed on the Awakening Stone, a glimmer of light flashed in the originally white space of consciousness.
From the void, a speck of stardust, imbued with awakened power, appeared.
These stardust particles flew through the air, drifting far to the right of the White Magic area before finally falling down.
That's the elemental magic area!
Different colors represent different elemental systems.
Red represents the fire element.
Cyan represents the wind element.
Yellow represents the earth element.
Blue represents water systems.
Gold represents the light element.
Purple represents the lightning element.
Carefully distinguish the colors of the areas illuminated by the falling stardust.
red.
Fire element, not bad, wishes come true.
Lu Shi sighed inwardly.
Just as she was about to withdraw her right hand, the Awakening Stone once again shone with starlight, covering Lu Shi's right hand like a vein.
In the void, another force of awakening has once again entered.
It traced a startling arc in the air, and the cyan area within the elemental magic was also illuminated.
Wind system.
Hmm, not bad either.
It will run even faster in the future.
It seems I really am a dual-system person!
Awakening always happens in pairs.
Lu Shi prepared to withdraw her hand again, but the familiar power of starlight emanated from her once more.
The purple areas of elemental magic were also lit up.
Lightning element.
Great, looks like I can switch to a violent elemental mage.
Just when Lu Shi thought that the awakening of the three systems could end,
The starlight emanating from the Awakening Stone continued to surge forth.
have to!
Lu Shi was numb.
Awakening four elements at once.
A happy dilemma: Can I afford to raise them?
The last star drifted toward another silvery area.
Dimensional magic, a new area of magic.
And what's lit up is...
Summoning type.
Awakening to four types of magic at once.
So, who else is there?
