The next morning, Jinghai First Middle School.
Cars continuously arrived at the school gate, and students wearing the school uniform got out of the cars, waved goodbye to their parents or drivers, and then walked into the campus with their backpacks.
Sss~
A taxi arrived, seeming out of place among the luxury cars around it.
A boy got out of the car.
He had short black hair and was also wearing the school’s uniform, with broad shoulders, a sturdy physique, and a sharp deanor, with a face of rigid lines and intense eyes.
After getting out of the car, he didn’t mind the gazes of others, and simply walked forward with firm strides.
His face was calm, and his walking was like the wind, with a masculine charm.
He quickly caught people’s attention.
"Wow, he’s cool, who is he? A senior grade athlete?"
"Not an athlete, are you blind? You don’t recognize Scholar Lu?!"
"Eh? It really does seem like Senior Lu, haven’t seen him in a long ti, he’s changed a lot!"
"Changed a lot? Doesn’t seem like it, I recognized him imdiately."
...
Recently, Lu Xun indeed transford, evolving from previously thin arms and legs into a model-grade handso guy.
He lost so of the youthful innocence and gained so masculine charm.
Puberty is precisely the ti for physical growth.
Teen boys and girls changing day by day isn’t uncommon.
Most students at the school didn’t have a deep impression of Lu Xun, having only seen him a few tis on the award stage in the school auditorium, so they didn’t pay much attention.
But when Lu Xun entered the classroom of Senior Three (4), the shock he brought to the students was quite explosive!
"Old... Old Lu?!"
"Damn, brother, what happened to you?"
"Haven’t seen you in a few days, how did you grow taller than ?"
A few boys gathered around, pointing and talking.
The girls around also widened their eyes, looking him up and down, their eyes gleaming.
Today’s mainstream aesthetics isn’t the "soft and fresh young idols" from past lives, but rather "tough and handso n."
The latter attracts people of all ages and sexes!
Across Jinghai First Middle School, except for a few athletes, there weren’t many boys with Lu Xun’s physique.
...
Faced with the inquiries of his classmates.
He casually replied, "Growing rapidly recently."
Obviously, no one believed him; they’ve seen rapid growth before, but never this rapid!
After not seeing him for a few days, he had completely transford!
Many classmates suspected he had touched upon a taboo, had taken enhancent needles, and would lose his eligibility for the college entrance exams.
Looking at him, their gazes changed from initial amazent to doubt.
Good physique is desirable, but as middle school students, academics should be prioritized.
Destroying one’s future for the pursuit of physical beauty is undoubtedly the most foolish behavior!
Lu Xun couldn’t be bothered to explain, nor did he need to prove his innocence.
Anyway, before every monthly exam, students undergo drug tests.
One test will reveal if there’s any dication involved.
Idle gossip need not be entertained.
He returned to his seat by the window in the back row and gave Wuer’s skeleton head a few pats.
"Sleep, sleep, Da Gu, all you know is to sleep! Always missing my grand entrances!"
"Brother Lu!!"
Wuer woke up in surprise, and upon recognizing the person before him, was imnsely delighted; in his eye sockets, the red soul fire danced with joy.
He quickly got up, asked his desk mate to move inside, and then eagerly started to inquire.
Lu Xun casually chatted with him, glancing back at the desk behind.
The back row was empty; the elf student wasn’t in the classroom.
It seed, as Wuer said, she has been skipping classes recently, hasn’t co to school, and is busy with sothing unknown.
But that’s her business, no need to interfere.
"Brother Lu, the class advisor said you got injured, took a week’s leave, how co you’re back to school so soon?" Wuer whispered, "...was the injury from that incident before?"
"I’m all recovered." Lu Xun gently nodded and lowered his voice, "Don’t bring up that matter again; it’s troubleso."
Fewer people knowing ans more safety.
He didn’t want to get his desk mate involved, so he brushed the topic off lightly.
"Okay, okay." Wuer was also very perceptive, didn’t probe too much into his secrets.
The two switched topics and started talking about everyday life.
Joking around to pass the ti, the morning classes flew by easily.
After school at noon, Lu Xun patted Wuer’s shoulder, spiritedly saying:
"Let’s go, buddy, I’m treating you to a hot spring!"
"Sure, Brother Lu, are you really treating?" Wuer was excited.
"Of course, a man of his word." Saying this, Lu Xun lowered his voice and secretly told him, "I’m hoping you can teach more magic."
Upon hearing this, Wuer hesitated for a mont, checked the surroundings to ensure no one was around, and then whispered:
"Brother Lu, there’s sothing I must remind you. The essence of ritual magic is ’exchange’; it’s borrowing power from unknown entities.
Behind every gift lies a price tag.
If used frequently, it will pull you into the abyss."
Lu Xun was taken aback; he hadn’t expected this situation.
No wonder when he was chanting the spell at the ritual, he felt like he received a "response."
It turned out it wasn’t his own power but "borrowed."
But who is the creditor?
The demon god in the abyss?
"You don’t need to worry; using ritual magic occasionally is fine, I can assure you of that." Wuer confidently patted his sternum.
"I see." Lu Xun nodded, "Then teach other types of necromancy, especially functional magic like passing through walls, invisibility, or flying."
Wuer paused, his jaw moving as he said:
"Brother Lu, I think you might be misunderstanding necromancy."
"...Actually, you Humans in the Human Federation, 99% don’t understand what necromancy is; they confuse elental magic, undead magic, and necromancy together..."
He patiently explained.
After listening to Wuer for over ten minutes, Lu Xun suddenly realized and clarified the types and relationships of magic around the world.
Magic is divided into three types: ritual magic, soul magic, elental magic.
The first type needs no further explanation.
Elental magic, as the na suggests, is based on magic essence, constructing magic circuits and magic array patterns, aided by spells and other diums to perform magic.
It’s the mainstream of the magic side in today’s world.
Soul magic, on the other hand, is quite "niche."
It relates to magic essence but not closely.
"Soul power" is key to this type of magic.
Under soul magic, there are two branches: undead magic and necromancy.
The forr focuses more on "summoning," allowing you to transform soul power into entities that assist in combat.
For example, a necromancer can summon skeleton warriors, bone dragons, witch demons, forming an undead legion.
This system’s promotion and upgrade paths also revolve around summoned creatures.
Necromancy... Well, from the na, you should know that it’s a "exclusive" cultivation system of the undead race.
It leans more towards destruction and devastation, not using soul power for summoning, but directly absorbing and enhancing oneself!
The undead race can also practice necromancy as well as undead magic.
They are naturally soul masters!
But other races aren’t the sa; it depends on physical traits and talent.
"Moreover, even if I only teach you undead magic, Brother Lu, you’ll find it hard to learn."
Wuer sincerely said, "The path of the soul is profound and arcane. Becoming a necromancer isn’t easy; as a human, it’s tough to even get started."
"Is that so..."
Lu Xun couldn’t help but show regret.
Inherent limitations are indeed unavoidable.
Wuer has racial talent, born to excel in this field.
Actually, Wuer didn’t understand why Brother Lu wanted to learn magic?
Human technology is so advanced; he doesn’t need to venture into the magic side.
Although now the Human Federation is cordial to all races, never causes trouble, quietly develops its economy and technology like a submissive kitten.
But if really in a state of full-scale war, with the terrifying depth of the Human Federation, not saying sweeping the world... beating half the globe is no problem.
The Human Federation doesn’t stir trouble, not because it fears trouble, but to prepare and accumulate for the next celestial convergence’s "world-ending level war."
Wuer believes compared to the magic side, Lu Xun opting for "technology and practical skills" clearly has more prospects!
But Lu Xun thinks only kids choose.
Muscles, cha, magic... he wants it all!
"Whether or not I can learn remains to be seen, but teach first!"
He determinedly said to Wuer, "What if I’m a world-class talent?!"
