That night, Lu Shi stayed in her own room.
To others, she had only been gone for a little over three months. But Lu Shi knew in her heart that this was actually her first time here.
Stroking the familiar yet unfamiliar furnishings in the room, Lu Shi stopped thinking about it.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, with Xiao Jianjian's help, he fused his lightning and fire magic roots overnight. His strength suddenly increased significantly.
The next morning, Lu Shi was woken up by the noise.
Led by Jiang Kuanglan and Chen Youliang, a group of young masters from magical families came to the Trial Council again, wanting to meet Lu Shi.
Li Cuiling's threat yesterday seemed to have no effect; in fact, all these young masters from prominent families have united.
Inside the reception room, Wu Chenyi adopted an imposing stance, engaging in a verbal battle with everyone and managing to block them all out.
When Lu Shi finished tidying up and came out, she saw that her senior brother had lost the argument and was about to take action.
When the young masters from prominent families saw Lu Shi come out, they all showed delight and rushed forward to fawn over her.
"Senior brother, where is Master? Why are you dealing with these flies?" Lu Shi ignored everyone and walked to Wu Chenyi's side, holding down her senior brother who was about to get angry.
"Master went to the trial meeting early this morning. These flies are so annoying, I can't get rid of them." Wu Chenyi said angrily.
"Xiao Wu, who are you calling a fly? You're just a kid from an ordinary family, don't try to imitate Shi Shi. If you weren't Shi Shi's senior, you wouldn't even have the right to talk to us. Be careful, or we'll treat you badly." Chen Youliang pointed at Wu Chenyi, his attitude arrogant.
"Heh, you're welcome? Fine, then let's give it a try!" Wu Chenyi rolled up his sleeves, laughing angrily.
“Alright, we can’t move around here. Let’s go outside.” Chen Youliang waved and walked out the door first. A group of young noblemen, accompanied by bodyguards, followed him out with smiles on their faces.
"Senior brother, you actually fought for me! I'm so touched." Lu Shi raised her hands, deliberately striking a lovesick pose.
"Get lost, stop pretending to be innocent. I just can't stand these bastards. Today I'll demonstrate what it means to be punished and scolded when necessary." Wu Chenyi walked out the door in a huff.
Lu Shi chuckled and followed them out.
...
The practice ground for the trial.
The crowd stood on two sides.
Lu Shi and Wu Chenyi stood to one side.
Chen Youliang, Jiang Kuanglan, and a group of wealthy young men, along with their bodyguards, formed a large and imposing group standing opposite them.
"Xiao Wu, apologize now and let Shishi go out with us, and I'll take what you just said as a joke. I'll still think of you if there are any good things in the future."
"Chen Youliang, stop with the nonsense. Let's exchange a few blows." Golden light emanated from Wu Chenyi's body.
"Oh, I've heard that Judge Li has two apprentices, a white mage and a light-elemental support, both gentle and kind, not suited for combat. Little Wu, I didn't expect you to look so flashy with your golden glow," Jiang Kuanglan mocked from the side.
"Stop talking nonsense. Are you going to fight or not? If not, get lost." Wu Chenyi really didn't want to say anything more.
"Ah Biao, teach Xiao Wu a lesson, but don't hit him too hard, after all, he's Shishi's senior brother!" Chen Youliang suddenly waved his hand, and a burly man in black walked out from behind him.
"Aren't you going to do it yourself?" Wu Chenyi asked, somewhat surprised.
"I'm so noble, how could I possibly do it myself?" Chen Youliang shook his finger.
"I'll fuck you ###".
Wu Chenyi was enraged, raised his hands, and launched the first attack.
[Light Sphere]
Three orbs of light, tinged with an eerie golden hue, flew toward Chen Youliang.
Lu Shi nodded. This senior brother had a level 7 proficiency in intermediate-level light magic, and was almost ready to transform it into the level 10 Judgment Hammer.
Unexpectedly, the three consecutive bursts of light orbs were blocked by a black barrier.
Ah Biao stood in front of Chen Youliang and easily blocked the attack.
"This light barrier seems to possess both the magical aura of shadow and curse." Having seen many experts, Lu Shi's perception is now quite advanced, and he can deduce a lot from the protective magic alone.
Seeing that his attack had no effect, Wu Chenyi waved his hands and released three consecutive light-emitting balls.
If once isn't enough, then we'll break through this black barrier of light with sheer numbers.
Ah Biao sneered disdainfully, maintaining the light barrier with his left hand and drawing a circle with his right. A black star map automatically formed, and then countless shadow nails rained down on Wu Chenyi.
The black nails, like a storm, were visually far more impactful than the three consecutive bursts of light orbs.
Wu Chenyi's expression changed completely.
He didn't have time to release more light orbs. He clasped his hands together, and four golden wings appeared, quickly enveloping his body.
Spiky, spicy, spicy.
Countless shadow spikes struck his wings, causing Wu Chenyi to tremble.
After the Shadow Nails were fired, Wu Chenyi's four flashy golden wings were riddled with holes and emitted black smoke, no longer looking splendid.
"Admit defeat! You are no match for me." Ah Biao raised his hands high, and a huge black star map appeared above his head.
"No, I didn't lose." Wu Chenyi said stubbornly, looking at the black star map above the other person's head.
"Then don't blame me." Ah Biao's expression changed, and he clenched his fists.
Within the massive star map, a gigantic nail emanating a strong black aura appeared, spinning rapidly as it shot towards Wu Chenyi.
Wu Chenyi's face was contorted with rage. He raised his hands and defiantly released a golden light barrier, trying to withstand this seemingly world-destroying attack.
Sizzle...
A huge Tai Chi diagram blocked Wu Chenyi's way.
The huge nail is embedded into the Tai Chi diagram from the front.
The Tai Chi symbol rotated automatically, grinding and dissolving the giant nail until it was completely swallowed up.
Lu Shi slowly walked to Wu Chenyi's side and patted him on the shoulder.
"Senior brother! You're too inexperienced. You can't just have fancy moves; you need to be down-to-earth!"
The tone of the instruction made Wu Chenyi somewhat dazed.
He knew his junior sister had gotten stronger, but he never imagined she was this strong. She so easily blocked what appeared to be a high-level dark fusion attack spell.
Lu Shi stood in front of Wu Chenyi, opposite A Biao.
Ah Biao stared at Lu Shi with a heavy expression, his guarded look evident on his face.
"Shishi! Why did you run out? It would be terrible if you got hurt!"
"yes!"
"Shishi, please move aside."
The young men opposite shouted in unison, afraid of hurting the beauty.
Only Ah Biao solemnly said, "Since there's no damage, let's stop here and call it a draw, shall we?"
"No way." Unexpectedly, it was Chen Youliang who refused. He stepped forward and glared fiercely at Wu Chenyi. "Xiao Wu, apologize to me, or this isn't over."
“I know you…” Wu Chenyi was about to swear.
"Senior brother, let me handle this," Lu Shi said calmly, stopping Wu Chenyi.
She looked at A Biao.
"Curse, high-level dual-elemental Darkness?"
The question question actually conveys a sense of certainty.
Ah Biao was taken aback, then nodded.
"Alright, take this one. You can make any request you want today." Lu Shi smiled gently, her lips curving into an elegant arc, her eyes sparkling with laughter, like stars twinkling in the night sky.
"Ah Biao, it's your turn now!" Chen Youliang was overjoyed.
Ah Biao nodded solemnly. He waved his hands, and black light barriers rose one after another.
"Let me test my new upgraded lightning and fire magic root on you with my lightning and fire strike."
Lu Shi held her hands to the sky. A purplish-black light danced on her left hand, while crimson flames rose from her right. A faint, crystalline magical root appeared on each of her arms.
[Lightning Strike]
This attack was the same one Niu Hao had used before, a single move that swept away a line of Soul-Chasing Birds.
At this moment, Lu Shi used it to break through A Biao's curse and shadow protection barrier.
The energy beam, infused with lightning and fire, ignored the dark light barrier and swept directly over A Biao's head.
The intense heat burned away Ah Biao's full head of black hair, instantly turning him into a bald man, with plumes of black smoke rising from his head.
Ah Biao touched his bald head and asked in horror:
"You're a high-level lightning and fire mage?"
Lu Shi lowered her hands, put them behind her back, tilted her head to look at the sky, and said softly:
"High-level? I'm no longer one."
