Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

With things having escalated to this point, the two stopped chatting.

Just as Mu Shuang reached the door and was about to leave, she suddenly turned back to look at Xia Jian, and at the same time, a tremendous pressure descended upon Xia Jian.

Unable to withstand the pressure, Xia Jian collapsed to the ground.

Mu Shuang walked up to Xia Jian and squatted down, then began to grope Xia Jian, who looked completely bewildered.

"What...do you...want to...do...?"

Seeing this, Xia Jian asked with difficulty.

"Wizards believe in the principle of equivalent exchange. Now that you have taken my forbidden magic, you must pay the corresponding price."

As Mu Shuang spoke, she took out Xia Jian's spatial bags one by one.

Xia Jian stared at all of this with eyes wide with rage.

This was all her belongings; even the spatial bag hidden in her pants was pulled out by Mu Shuang.

However, no matter how much Xia Jian struggled, under the pressure of Mu Shuang's powerful mental strength, his body was unable to make any movement.

"Forbidden technique...wasn't it...that you...stole...it...? Why...are you with me...?"

Xia Jian gritted his teeth as he spoke, while Mu Shuang disgustedly threw the spatial bag that Xia Jian had hidden in his underwear onto the ground.

"I stole it! What I stole is mine, isn't it? You took my things and don't want to pay me, and you still think you're in the right?"

Mu Shuang winked at Xia Jian and replied matter-of-factly.

Xia Jian was speechless after being rebuked by Mu Shuang, and thinking about it, it seemed to make some sense...

That makes no sense whatsoever!

Even sophistry can be presented in such a refreshing and elegant way!

As a teacher, shouldn't you know how to be selfless and dedicated? Why should I let you take away what I worked so hard to earn?

If Bro knew, he would surely marvel at how brilliant their thought processes were.

Seeing Xia Jian's face flushed red from struggling, Mu Shuang couldn't help but sigh: "Alright, alright, don't be so stingy, I'll just take one, okay?"

But Xia Jian struggled even more fiercely after hearing this.

If you're so capable, put down my only two-square-meter space bag before you say that!

Most of my valuable materials are inside, which means my assets have shrunk by more than half!

"Practice hard, I believe in you!"

Mu Shuang patted Xia Jian on the shoulder, then skipped happily out of the room.

As the oppressive aura emanating from him dissipated, Xia Jian collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon.

At this moment, Xia Jian was on the verge of tears and felt like dying.

"What are you doing lying on the ground? Did you lose your virginity?"

Just then, Bro poked his head out from the doorway and looked at Natsumi, who was lying on the ground with tears in her eyes, with some confusion.

Xia Jian sat up, rolled her eyes, and said irritably, "I wish I'd lost my virginity!"

My current situation is a thousand times worse than losing my virginity!

"What are you doing here?" Xia Jian asked expressionlessly as he picked up his spatial bag.

Upon hearing this, Bro couldn't help but give an awkward smile: "My uncle was beaten by your teacher, so my uncle sent me to teach you a lesson."

"So your uncle was the unlucky guy who got robbed."

Xia Jian pursed his lips, quite displeased with Yin Yang Dao.

If it weren't for that damn forbidden technique, would he have been robbed by Mu Shuang?

"What, you're still holding a grudge?"

Bro frowned slightly. Although he didn't know what had just happened, something felt off about what Natsumi was saying.

As expected, birds of a feather flock together; neither of these two, master and apprentice, is any good!

"Because of this lousy book, Mu Shuang stole a huge sum of money. Can't I even complain a little?"

Xia Jian tossed the black book in front of Bro and asked him in an annoyed tone, glancing sideways at him.

"Ahem, after all, you're my teacher, how can I call you by your first name? I have something to do, let's talk another day."

Seeing that Xia Jian was getting impatient, Bro quickly made up an excuse and ran away without even taking the black book.

Compared to that, he felt that his own life was more important. Now Xia Jian even dared to call Mu Shuang by her name. What if Mu Shuang blamed him for this?

Although it seems impossible for a fourth-tier wizard to do this, that's how Mu Shuang's reputation came about.

Whether you're right or wrong, if you can't win, then you're wrong!

"Two cowards!"

Xia Jian looked disdainful upon seeing this.

Just like when I first met Bro, this family is just as cowardly!

There was no sound at all just now, so Frank must have been attacked unilaterally and probably didn't even fight back.

It's outrageous that someone like that can become a fourth-tier wizard!

…………

After closing the door, Xia Jian took out one of the spatial bags.

Seeing that the pills were still inside, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The materials don't matter, since he doesn't need most of them anyway.

The world is vast, and there are many powerful forces; at worst, we can find another opportunity to plunder.

The key is those pills that I refined myself. These are related to the "Demon Fear" technique. It would be bad if Mu Shuang noticed the problem.

I don't have many options right now, so I can barely accept paying money to avoid trouble.

Moreover, even without today's events, once Mu Shuang learned of his identity, she could easily find a reason to snatch him away. It's even possible that Mu Shuang deliberately took this black book.

After putting his things away, Xia Jian picked up the black book and began to read it carefully.

With people from Yinmo Valley and the Arctic Sirius Palace present, even if he was unwilling, he had to arm himself first, and learning "Soul Absorption" became a necessary measure.

The more you look at this thing, the more speechless you become.

For Xia Jian, powerful magic was enough to make up for his shortcomings; this forbidden technique that could easily cause his soul to be scattered was indeed lacking.

It's not that it's bad, but it's too taxing on the body.

If Mu Shuang were to bring over a few normal spellbooks, the +1 talent would make him invincible in the first tier.

Once one's mental strength grows stronger, fighting opponents of higher levels will not be impossible.

However, forbidden techniques have their advantages. Generally speaking, forbidden techniques are easier to learn and can be put into practice more quickly.

Of course, its great power is one of its advantages, but it's not quite enough for Natsumi, who is focused on playing it safe.

…………

As Xia Jian patiently read through the entire book, he received feedback from his '+1' talent.

After Xia Jian received the message, there was no joy on her face, but she unconsciously rolled her eyes.

As expected of a forbidden technique, he learned it without even using it once...

Xia Jian was speechless.

Even with the extremely compatible 'Demonic Fear' meditation method, he still practiced it once before it was displayed on the panel.

No wonder some people learn evil arts. With this kind of training efficiency, they can stand out from ordinary people in no time, not to mention those who are already powerful.

Although I have already learned how to absorb souls, some trial and error is still necessary.

As soon as Xia Jian activated the Soul Absorption Technique, he immediately felt his blood and qi surging within his body, with wisps of blood and qi flowing out from within.

As his spiritual power began to burn, a strange and powerful force arose spontaneously, even giving Xia Jian the illusion that he could defeat Mu Shuang.

However, the powerful force came with indescribable side effects. The rapidly burning mental energy made Xia Jian panic, and he quickly stopped using Soul Absorption.
