Chapter 122 Lifting the Restriction
Xiaowei and that elf look alike, and they even look exactly the same when they cast spells.
However, their cores are completely different.
The spirit possessed an aura of divine compassion for all things in the world.
If necessary, Mingzhao thought, it would definitely sacrifice everything to save all living beings.
But Xiaowei is different.
Aside from her transformative abilities that made everyone feel close to her, her true nature was indifferent.
Elemental spirits should be sensitive and perceptive to everything, but Xiaowei shows indifference to everything.
Her face always wore a polite and refined smile, as if it had been carefully designed.
But her eyes were cold, and Mingzhao couldn't be fooled by that.
Lu Ming's modifications caused the Wind Spirit to completely lose its divinity, leaving only its superficial aspects.
Can such a work, which is all show and no substance, really be considered a perfect creation?
Having heard enough of the nonsense, Mingzhao had a pretty good idea of Lu Ming's trump card.
She can't wait to make this disgusting person disappear from the world completely.
Mingzhao put away the hypocritical face she had shown in order to extract information.
Xiaowei sensed the discordant atmosphere first and turned around.
Illusory blue wings appeared and disappeared behind her, and elements gradually gathered around her.
The rich aura of life and wind elements surpasses even that of the hot spring on the ship.
As a result, the other elements in Mingzhao's sea of consciousness also began to stir.
Lu Ming, on the other hand, was not able to react for a moment.
Seeing Xiaowei's reaction, he looked at her with a completely bewildered expression.
It wasn't until they saw the staff that appeared in Mingzhao's hand that they realized what was happening.
"Miss Xiaohong, do you have any objections to the ideas I proposed? Wouldn't a win-win cooperation be better for both of us?"
A pained expression appeared on his face, but Mingzhao wouldn't miss the murderous intent in his eyes.
"There's no point in talking if our philosophies don't align."
Mingzhao was too lazy to waste any more words with him and took out her staff.
She unleashed a high-pressure water cannon, and hundreds of fireballs emerged from the seawater.
Immediately afterwards, it hurtled towards Xiaowei and Luming at lightning speed!
With a gentle wave of her hand, Xiao Wei unleashed countless wind blades, slicing the water sphere into pieces.
Lu Ming remained within Xiao Wei's attack range, seemingly with no intention of making a move.
Immediately afterwards, the wind blades disappeared.
The wind elements surrounding Xiaowei transformed into dozens of small tornadoes, which swept towards Mingzhao.
Mingzhao frowned slightly and summoned a water shield to deflect the force of the tornado.
The two fought back and forth, neither able to gain the upper hand for a time.
Lu Ming took out a personal protective equipment card and put on a shiny gold bulletproof vest that looked expensive.
Mingzhao was genuinely nervous, thinking he was about to join the battle.
Lu Ming possesses most of the company's resources, so his combat strength should not be underestimated.
But he was only protecting himself and seemed to have no intention of joining the battle at all.
"Xiaowei, stop dawdling and hurry up and take care of her."
Upon hearing this, Xiaowei retracted the tornado and began chanting in a language that Mingzhao could not understand.
The tornado disappeared from her sight, and the previously dispersed enormous energy appeared to have converged in one place.
All the surrounding sounds fell silent, and the wind all rushed towards Xiaowei!
A massive arrow of wind coalesced before her, sharp and filled with killing intent.
Mingzhao was certain that her water shield would not be able to withstand this attack.
Then we'll have to resort to other methods!
She ignored Xiao Wei, swung her staff, and launched a direct attack on Lu Ming!
Ice spikes formed beneath his feet, and the ice surface spread rapidly, quickly approaching Lu Ming!
Logically speaking, given the numerous layers of defense Lu Ming had built up, he shouldn't have been bothered by attacks of this magnitude, at least not initially.
However, his reaction was very strong.
"Xiaowei, what are you doing! Help me!"
Xiao Wei obediently stopped condensing the wind arrow in front of her.
Life force gathered in front of Lu Ming, blocking the attack of the ice spikes.
Mingzhao now understands that Lu Ming, for some unknown reason, has no offensive capabilities whatsoever.
Moreover, he seemed extremely afraid of death; whenever Mingzhao attacked him, he would panic terribly.
Xiao Wei obeyed his every command. She had many opportunities to kill Ming Zhao, but she missed them all because she listened to Lu Ming's orders.
The wind spirits' control over magic far surpasses Mingzhao's, and the only way to break the deadlock in this battle is to target Lu Ming.
Mingzhao completely ignored Xiaowei's attack.
She possesses the "Five-Point True God" ability, meaning she has a good chance to activate this skill if an attack gets very close to her.
However, she still overestimated Lu Ming.
Lu Ming kept directing Xiao Wei to protect herself, so she had no chance to attack.
After a while of this stalemate, Lu Ming seemed to realize that this was not a solution.
He gritted his teeth, took out the panel, and seemed to be looking up information.
"Xiao Wei, release the first layer of the restriction!"
Regardless of what he said, Mingzhao continued to hurl all her attacks at him.
But then Xiao Wei let out a bird-like sound, which sounded very out of place and was completely different from the elegant voice of the wind spirit.
A hurricane emerged and swept away everything around it.
Lu Ming was protected by Xiao Wei in the eye of the storm, remaining completely still.
Mingzhao was not so lucky; she was in the area where the storm was at its strongest, and she was almost blown away.
She quickly summoned Thor's Battle Axe, using its immense weight to ensure she remained pinned to the spot.
Xiaowei's ban has finally been lifted.
Although her appearance remained unchanged, Mingzhao sensed a distinct difference from before.
Her demeanor became sharp and chilling, and the already sparse traces of humanity in her eyes faded even further.
Mingzhao sensed that something was amiss.
Wind spirits are a very gentle race and almost never have the desire to attack any living being.
This is why Lu Ming, despite his mediocre strength, was able to capture a wind spirit for experiments.
But Xiao Wei gave her a completely different feeling at this moment.
She developed an aggressiveness that other creatures would not possess.
Lu Ming saw the confusion on Ming Zhao's face and said to her in a very smug tone.
"What's wrong? You don't think all I did was give her the blood of a wind spirit, do you? You underestimate bioengineering. What use is a useless person who can't attack? Let me give you a piece of advice: if you repent now and remember your mistakes, I can still recruit you into my company."
"However, given your ungratefulness, the conditions I gave you before are gone. Now I'm giving you a chance to become a senior executive in the company."
"Whether you die at the hands of my great creation or join the company's great cause, the choice is yours."
