Madam Qian's Visit
The next morning,
Li Yao woke up in his bedroom on the second floor. The sunlight streaming in through the large south-facing window was a bit dazzling.
It's gotten a bit warm in the air lately.
Or perhaps it's a restlessness? Spring has arrived, it's here again...
Li Yao rolled out of bed and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost nine o'clock; he had gotten up a bit late.
Last night, he didn't practice his alchemy skills and changed his training order. He first meditated, and then analyzed and constructed spell models at a high frequency and intensity. Originally, he wanted to exhaust his magic power so he could have a sweet and peaceful sleep, but unexpectedly, while he was busy analyzing spell models, he actually broke through the Flash Spell! This was an unexpected surprise.
Now he has truly mastered the spell "Flash Spell"! Li Yao conducted several practical simulations in the room, and this spell can achieve an effect similar to "teleportation".
It is more flexible and faster to use than "Baiyakien's" "Star Realm Shuttle" ability, and the range of the teleportation depends on the mage's mental perception range.
The casting speed depends on the mage's spell model construction rate.
Alternatively, the model can be built and left to its own devices until the right moment arrives.
Simply put, practice makes perfect.
This spell is great in every way.
It's just that it consumes a lot of energy.
Even with Li Yao's current magic reserves, he can only release the spell five or six times in a row. After training and mastering the spell, he can reduce the investment of mental magic and increase the number of times he can release it.
certainly,
It doesn't need to be cast so many times during regular combat; after all, it's a spell used in emergencies.
After using Flash to create distance, this becomes the mage's preferred combat mode.
Therefore, a unit might only be used once or twice in a single battle.
The unexpected breakthrough and the exhaustion made Li Yao sleep soundly. When he finished washing up and got ready to go downstairs, Chen Xi had already prepared dinner and placed it in front of the fireplace.
A slice of toast with butter, a few slices of bacon, a serving of scrambled eggs, and a glass of milk.
It's simple, but it looks very appetizing.
Li Yao said to Chen Xi, "Our Chen Xi is the best, thank you so much."
Chen Xi responded with a smile, "Mmm~"
He sat down to eat breakfast, and Chen Xi asked while wiping the cup, "Boss, is the milk cold? Do you want it heated up again?"
Li Yao tested the temperature of the cup; it was just right.
That's really thoughtful! So Li Yao replied, "No need to trouble yourself, the temperature is just right."
Chen Xi put down her cup. "Is something on your mind, boss?"
Is it that obvious?
He smiled and said, "It's nothing."
After finishing breakfast, he took the plates to the kitchen to wash them, and then went to the Golden Osmanthus outside the tavern to practice the Qi Refining Technique.
After doing all this,
Li Yao returned to the tavern, pondered for a while, took out his phone and sent a message to Old Man Lu: "Want to chat sometime?"
Old Man Lu: "I'm busy."
Li Yao: "..."
You think you're so great?
Li Yao was furious and immediately typed a message to Old Man Lu: "Is that so? I'm planning to start my own organization related to the Otherworldly side. I've seen the relevant guidelines on the Wallfacers's official website, so I'm letting you know!"
Old Man Lu: "???"
What kind of trouble is this kid planning to cause now?
He immediately called Li Yao: "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable..."
Old Man Lu: "???"
"Damn it! "Old Man Lu sat there and almost crushed his phone in his hand.
Not long after,
When Madam Qian walked into the office from outside and saw Lu Xingshen there, his face flushed with anger, she couldn't help but laugh, her tone full of teasing. "Did that kid make you angry again?"
Lu Xingshen felt a little embarrassed.
This person is over a hundred years old and is still arguing with a young man!
It made him seem so stingy! This made Old Man Lu even angrier!
Mrs. Qian went around to her desk and sat down, then couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's there to be embarrassed about? It's good to have a bit of temper, otherwise life would be so meaningless."
She always spoke slowly and gently, and seemed to have a very good temper.
Old Man Lu always acted very respectfully and like a student in front of Madam Qian.
After exchanging pleasantries, Madam Qian asked, "So, what brings you here?"
Old Man Lu took a deep breath and said, "That kid can reincarnate a military spirit."
Madam Qian's expression gradually became serious. She sat up straight, thought for a while, and then showed a relaxed expression, her eyes becoming much more vacant. "Okay, that's great."
After a while, her gaze refocused on Lu Xingshen: "You can relax a lot more now."
Lu Xingshen up straight. "Yes."
Bearing the weight of so many military spirits and protecting them day and night consumed too much of Lu Xingshen's energy.
As the Sword Holder of the Wallfacers, Lu Xingshen's combat strength is beyond doubt; however, he has been stuck at his current level for too long.
The superpowers he acquired from his Contract Master could certainly greatly enhance his combat strength.
However, it became an obstacle to his spiritual practice.
Old Man Lu was unwilling to give up on his former comrades! Madam Qian also said that Lu Xingshen was too sentimental, which became his own obsession. Life and death are predestined, but he just wouldn't accept it.
This is a personal choice.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Madam Qian smiled and said, "Now that you've taken off such a heavy burden, you should have made a lot of progress. You're on track to reach the seventh level."
Lu Xingshen added, "By the way, that kid just messaged me saying he wants to register his own organization of supernatural beings..."
"I see,"
Madam Qian couldn't help but chuckle. This young man really had a knack for coming up with ideas on a whim. She stood up from behind her desk and said with a smile, "Then I'll go to Nanjing with you. I haven't been active in China for a long time, so I'll treat myself to a vacation."
"Good!"
Old Lu happily stood up from his seat. The teacher had already exhausted too much energy to maintain the "Iron Curtain" against foreign encroachment.
The teacher is too tired.
Compared to that, what does it matter that I bear the souls of tens of thousands of soldiers?
Lu Xingshen said enthusiastically, "Nanjing is an ancient capital of six dynasties, with many famous historical sites and scenic spots. We can have a good time there."
As he spoke, he took Madam Qian's coat.
It's still too cold in Kyoto right now.
As Madam Qian had Lu Xingshen help her put on her coat, she laughed and said, "Do you really need to tell me that? I was active there all the time during the Republic of China era."
There are many things that can no longer be said now.
Otherwise, if Madam Qian's past deeds were told, they would scare a lot of people to death!
After they were almost ready, they headed straight for the Capital Airport, having already arranged their itinerary on the way.
After all, people like them definitely have special privileges when traveling! In the afternoon, Lu Xingshen and Madam Qian arrived at the Lost Tavern. Li Yao was lying on the sofa in front of the fireplace, deciphering magical knowledge. Hearing the noise at the door, he turned around and almost slipped off his chair! "You, you've come?!"
This is the first update. The second update will be later. Hope you enjoy reading!
