Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

"The genes are not very stable, and the rejection reaction is severe. It looks like it has just been activated, but I don't know if it can survive."

Mu Shuang shook her head slightly and said with some regret.

But despite her words, Mu Shuang easily slapped Westin to the ground, no matter how much he provoked her.

Seeing Westin's body twisted and mutated, vomiting blood like a dead dog, Xia Jian quickly grabbed Mu Shuang's hand: "This is my experimental subject, you mustn't kill him."

Upon hearing this, Mu Shuang slowly stopped what she was doing.

Mu Shuang curled her lip in disgust: "Clean up the floor. I can't stand the sight of blood."

Xia Jian rolled his eyes inwardly, but his hands and feet moved very quickly. He dragged the dying Westin into the basement and put him in a new incubation chamber.

Seeing Westin still undergoing changes, Natsumi was at a loss.

After all, he wasn't an expert in biological bloodline science; most of his knowledge was related to the human body, so he couldn't be of much help at this point.

The only way to stabilize Westin's bodily functions is with nutrient solutions and drugs that enhance mental strength.

Hopefully, this guy can pull through on his own. If not...

Then we can visit Westin's grave around this time next year.

kitchen.

As Xia Jian was cooking, Mu Shuang suddenly walked up to her side.

Mu Shuang gave Xia Jian a deep look, then took a book out of her spatial bag and placed it on the stove.

Seeing this, Xia Jian glanced at the book title.

Soul Splitting Technique

"What a strange name."

As Xia Jian was wondering what kind of spell it was, Mu Shuang spoke up: "I need you to advance to the second rank within two months and learn this spell."

Upon hearing this, Xia Jian looked troubled.

"This is too difficult. I admit I'm a genius, but even geniuses need time. Two months is too short."

Of course, at his current pace, he should have no problem reaching the peak of the first tier within two months, if not advancing to the second tier.

However, when faced with such a situation, it's natural to try and negotiate.

"Don't worry about improving your strength. I still have a hibiscus bud, and this amount of time is enough for you to advance."

As she spoke, Mu Shuang took out another plant that resembled a hibiscus and pointed to the spellbook on the stove: "Your focus should be on cultivating this spell."

Similar to the fake plant from Xia Jian before, except that the one Mu Shuang took out was a mature one, with flower buds already in bloom and a sweet, refreshing fragrance.

Summer wasn't too surprised by the appearance of the hibiscus buds, mainly because it didn't really matter; it would just take a little more time.

Xia Jian glanced at Mu Shuang, who was eating with her chopsticks, then scooped the food out of the pot and picked up the spellbook on the table to examine it.

Upon seeing the contents, Xia Jian's face froze, and he almost cursed.

Although I can see that this is important to Mu Shuang, you don't have to use forbidden techniques to practice every time, do you?!

Soul Splitter is a spell related to the soul.

The caster needs to transform their mental energy into a sharp blade and then directly attack the opponent's soul.

Although this spell seems very powerful, it has a fatal flaw: if the attack fails, the opponent may find a weakness and attack the caster's soul in return, which is commonly known as backlash.

The soul is the foundation of a person, and the consequences of suffering trauma are self-evident.

Of course, since it is a forbidden technique, its power is self-evident; if one's soul and mental strength are inferior, it is an instant kill.

However, precisely because this is a forbidden technique, compared to ordinary mental spells, it not only directly targets the opponent's soul, but the caster also needs to pay for soul energy and permanently deplete their mental strength.

Soul energy is different from spiritual energy; it is the origin of all living beings, and any change in it can lead to unpredictable consequences.

Mental damage might only cause Alzheimer's disease, but damage to the soul consumes soul power, also known as the three souls and seven spirits. This comparison shows which is more serious.

"Teacher, how about we choose another one?"

Xia Jian slowly pushed the spellbook in front of Mu Shuang and asked cautiously.

"I'm not discussing this with you. You might not die if you learn it, but if you don't, I guarantee you won't live tonight."

Mu Shuang took a bite of food, then looked up at Xia Jian, her icy gaze seeming to freeze Xia Jian's soul.

"Oh, look at what you're saying. I was just joking to lighten the mood. Your orders, teacher, are my life's goal."

Seeing that Mu Shuang wasn't joking, Xia Jian couldn't help but chuckle twice and quickly put the "Soul Splitting Technique" and the Hibiscus Sprout into his spatial bag.

"That brat, don't let me catch her!"

Xia Jian had just lowered his head and muttered a couple of crickets in his mind when Mu Shuang suddenly grabbed Xia Jian's wrist tightly, causing Xia Jian to wince in pain: "Ouch, ouch, be gentle, it hurts, it hurts..."

Mu Shuang ignored Xia Jian and instead threw him over her shoulder, smashing the rune-enhanced floor into a crack.

A strong sense of dizziness surged into his mind, and the sharp pain in his back made Xia Jian gasp.

Before Xia Jian could even sit up, Mu Shuang placed one foot on Xia Jian's chest and said with murderous intent, "I told you my patience with you is limited. This is just to teach you a lesson."

"I might as well tell you, this matter is very important to me, and time is limited. If you can't help, I can send you to be reincarnated sooner!"

Hearing Mu Shuang's sinister words, Xia Jian was afraid that Mu Shuang would go crazy and send him away directly, so he nodded repeatedly like a chick.

Seeing Xia Jian's frightened expression, Mu Shuang helped Xia Jian up: "That's a good girl. Did you hurt yourself when you fell? Let me rub it for you."

"No need, it doesn't hurt."

Xia Jian quickly waved his hand in refusal.

Mu Shuang looked at Xia Jian with an unfriendly expression: "Are you saying I went too far?"

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

But before Xia Jian could finish her performance, Mu Shuang continued, "Are you saying I'm not ladylike enough?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Jian couldn't hold back any longer, and even considered going all out with Mu Shuang.

Even a clay figure has some fire in it; if you say everything, good or bad, then what's the point of him saying anything?

Just kidding, come on, give me a smile.

Sensing the fluctuations of the elements around her, Mu Shuang couldn't help but chuckle twice, pinching Xia Jian's cheeks and kneading them into an ugly smile.

"Alright, that's enough. I have things to do. You practice your Soul Splitting Technique here, and I'll come find you again when I have time."

Seeing Xia Jian remain silent, Mu Shuang packed up the food on the stove while talking, and then slipped away.

After Mu Shuang left, Xia Jian walked to the window expressionlessly and, sure enough, saw Mu Shuang hiding outside the door.

Noticing Xia Jian by the window, Mu Shuang pretended not to see him and looked around, then turned and flew towards the direction of the Bull Head House.

'Hoo~'

Watching Mu Shuang's departing figure, Xia Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness they didn't mention the Cowhead House..."
