Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

The dagger plunged deep into her neck, but without hesitation, the girl abruptly pulled it out.

The next instant, scalding blood gushed from the wound, dripping down and staining the ground beneath their feet red.

The thick, pungent stench of blood, carried by the evening breeze, rushed towards Chu Ge and filled his nostrils.

Chu Ge: "?"

It's so explosive right from the start?

Is this something I can watch without buying a ticket?

What she saw before her eyes was completely beyond her expectations.

She walked slowly forward, stopping in front of Xu Wan. Looking at the still-bleeding wound on Xu Wan's neck, she asked, "Are you alright? Do you need me to take you to the treatment room to get your injuries treated?"

"It's alright."

Xu Wan's eyes were clear and bright, the dagger she gripped tightly in her fingers dripping blood. Although her face grew paler from blood loss, her tone remained arrogant and domineering, carrying her own unique arrogance.

"However, a mere fatal wound and a little bloodletting for tempering are of no great importance to me, Emperor Xu Wan."

As blood continued to flow, the free-floating magic within his body surged wildly. Once the blood and qi were properly released, a magic core quietly condensed in his spiritual world, causing his strength to surge once again.

She raised her hand and pressed it firmly against the torn wound on her neck. A continuous stream of magic flowed into the wound through her palm, forcibly suppressing the blood flow and temporarily stopping the massive bleeding.

Once the bleeding had stabilized, Xu Wan took out a lighter, intending to burn the dagger to accelerate the healing of the wound with high heat.

"Let me help you."

Chu Ge saw through her intentions. With a surge of magic, a cluster of scorching flames suddenly rose from his palm.

Thank you.

Xu Wan thanked him softly and held the blood-stained dagger above the flame. Soon, the cold blade was heated to a bright red by the high temperature.

Without the slightest hesitation, she placed the red-hot blade directly against the wound on her neck.

A piercing sizzling sound suddenly erupted, and the smell of burnt flesh slowly spread, mingling with the strong stench of blood.

Chu Ge subconsciously sniffed. He hadn't eaten much for dinner, and now, smelling the aroma of roasted meat, he felt a strange hunger pang in his stomach.

"It smells quite nice."

"If you don't mind, may I take a bite?"

Xu Wan's expression was calm, but her tone was extremely serious. "Consider it as repaying you for your help just now, and also to temper my Dao heart."

"No need, I can't accept that."

Chu Ge quickly shook his head and silently pressed his slightly rumbling lower abdomen.

She's not some fake human; at most, she'll eat mercury, potassium cyanide, and monster excrement—things that any human could accept.

But to be honest, she hasn't gone to that extreme a level when it comes to doxxing.

The cruel scene of self-healing before his eyes also made Chu Ge vaguely recall the past.

She had once cut open her own flesh and blood, but her treatment method was different from Xu Wan's; it was a simple and brutal method of gluing with strong glue.

She still remembers that the super glue that was touted as the best in the universe, capable of sticking to everything and everything, was of ridiculously poor quality.

It kept leaking as I was sticking it on. Several times, just when it was finally stuck on, it would burst open within seconds and the internal organs would spill out.

In a fit of anger, she went straight to the live streamer selling the glue and left a negative review for false advertising, warning all buyers to be careful and avoid being scammed.

The streamer was extremely unconvinced at the time, and publicly challenged him, claiming that there was nothing in the world he couldn't stick.

Chu Ge was too lazy to explain to him, so she directly sent him a private message a video of herself using glue to seal her stomach wound, which repeatedly ruptured and leaked her intestines.

Just a dozen seconds later, the streamer ended the broadcast at lightning speed, immediately refunded her in full, and begged her to let him go.

He even said that he would burn paper money for her every Qingming Festival and the fifteenth of each month.

He even posted his ceiling artwork overnight, vowing that if he ever sold super glue again, he would be struck by lightning and die a horrible death.

A moment later, Xu Wan slowly put down the crimson dagger.

The wound on my neck had long been dried by the high temperature, forming a thick, hard scab that completely stopped the bleeding.

Chu Ge pulled himself out of his thoughts, looked at her, and asked in a deep voice:

"Are you practicing the 'Great Thousand Records' by self-harming and bleeding like this?"

"Not bad." Xu Wan nodded frankly, a faint smile full of fighting spirit curving her lips.

"Chu Ge, just you wait and see. It won't be long before I surpass you and dominate the world for all time."

"Is that so?" Chu Ge smiled and said proudly, "Then you should work hard, I'll be watching."

She has always admired like-minded people who have a firm belief in the Tao and are determined to make progress, and she is naturally happy to help them and encourage them openly.

The night was quiet, and the moonlight poured down onto the rooftop.

Two young girls, both determined to pursue the Dao, sat side by side, cross-legged, absorbing magical power and cultivating diligently.

As dawn broke and the sky began to lighten, the two of them opened their eyes at the same time.

Their eyes met, a tacit understanding forming between them, each with a faint smile on their lips, as they stood up side by side.

A surge of powerful magic coursed through his spiritual world, resulting in visible progress in his cultivation.

Xu Wan clenched her fists, turned to look at the white-haired girl, and spoke with a hint of cold provocation:

"Chu Ge, don't let your guard down. It won't be long before I break through to the high-level mage level."

"That would be best."

Chu Ge remained calm, but in his heart he sincerely admired her perseverance and talent.

The tone abruptly shifted, a chilling smile appearing on her indifferent face:

"But Empress Xu Wan, remember this: no matter how strong you are, I, Emperor Chu Tian, ​​will always be above you."

The two walked down the rooftop side by side, with Chu Ge trailing behind, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over the other's neck.

In just one night, the hideous brand had mostly healed, the scab had fallen off, and its recovery ability was terrifying.

Out of kindness, she gently reminded her, "The scar on your neck is still there, would you like to put a band-aid on it to cover it up?"

"No need, I brought a turtleneck sweater." Xu Wan snorted coldly, her arrogance undiminished, showing she was prepared.

"They even considered such details," Chu Ge murmured to himself, secretly impressed.

The person before me is meticulous in planning and strategizing, possessing a temperament and perseverance far exceeding that of ordinary people.

No wonder humans have been able to dominate the world for so long.

If there were more ruthless, self-disciplined, and relentlessly progressive people like Xu Wan in the world, the road ahead, though arduous, would never be dull or boring.

Training Course.

The members of the Demon Hunting Bureau who are out on a mission today are organizing their teams and selecting accompanying members.

Chu Ge, Xu Wan, and Tang Xiaoran were assigned to the same team, led by a pair of burly twin men, Li Yang and Li Gang.

The group quickly changed into standard combat uniforms, selected weapons and equipment suitable for themselves, and the five of them, fully equipped, boarded a vehicle and headed to the mission location.

The case originated from an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. Residents in the surrounding area have repeatedly reported that an unidentified monster is hiding deep inside the factory. Every night, strange roars and noises can be heard, causing constant disturbance and posing a great danger to the residents.

The car smoothly arrived at the perimeter of the abandoned factory. Li Gang got out first and turned back to solemnly instruct the three girls:

"The three of you stay in the middle of the group, walk quietly, don't make any noise, follow us closely, observe and learn, and don't act on your own."

"clear."

Tang Xiaoran nodded obediently, then turned to look at Chu Ge beside her, her eyes full of seriousness: "Don't be afraid, Chu Ge. I'm here, and I will definitely protect you."

Thank you.

Chu Ge nodded slightly, sighing inwardly.

What a simple and kind girl. In the end, I'm afraid I'll still have to protect you.

"Oh my, how thoughtful!"

Xu Wan, who was standing to the side, was full of disdain and felt ashamed of Tang Xiaoran's sycophantic behavior. She deliberately imitated Tang Xiaoran's tone and repeated it in a sarcastic tone.

"Don't be afraid, Chu Ge~~ I'm here~~ I'll definitely protect you~~"

Tang Xiaoran: "..."

Helpless, she turned to her and added, "The same goes for Wanwan, I will protect you too."

"Heh, no need for that." Xu Wan turned her head away, giving a cold snort, her arrogance palpable.

"I, Empress Xu Wan, have never needed anyone's protection. You just need to take care of your own safety."

The twin brothers were stunned by the strange atmosphere between the three of them and quietly whispered to each other.

Li Yang leaned close to his brother's ear and whispered in confusion, "Brother, what's going on between them? Are they jealous of each other?"

Li Gang, with a shrewd look in his eyes, replied in a low voice, "Most likely, it seems that this proud young lady is jealous."

"Three girls, a real-life love triangle?" Li Yang looked shocked, as if he had stumbled upon some juicy gossip.

I think so.

Li Gang nodded slightly, lowering his voice even further, "Such a famous scene was already recorded in Tomato's novel 'Magic: Starting with High-Voltage Electricity Reincarnation, Leveling Up Alone'."

Without further delay, the group stepped into the old, abandoned factory.

The walls were mottled and peeling, the environment was dark and damp, and the air was filled with the smell of decay and ruin.

Li Gang and Li Yang, one in front and one behind, protected the three girls in the center of the group, forming a tight defense.

Li Gang turned on his head-mounted light, held a thermal imaging scanner in his left hand, and gripped a specially made demon-hunting gun tightly in his right hand, cautiously surveying his surroundings.

Tang Xiaoran was somewhat afraid of this environment, so her hand unconsciously gripped the sleeve of the white-haired girl in front of her.

The team slowly ventured deeper into the factory. Along the way, the sound of dripping water could be heard everywhere, and from time to time, the faint rustling of rats could be heard from the piles of debris in the corners.

Suddenly, a strange flapping sound came from above the ceiling.

Li Gang immediately raised his hand, and the powerful flashlight suddenly shone directly onto the horizontal beam above.

The bats hung upside down from the ceiling in dense numbers. These nocturnal creatures are extremely photophobic, and when suddenly exposed to strong light, they instantly fall into a state of intense stress.

Bats plummeted out of control, flapping their wings wildly as a dark horde swept overhead.

flapping—flapping—

The foul-smelling excrement and urine landed on everyone's combat uniforms, leaving them in a sorry state.

"Damn it, where did all these bats come from!"

Li Yang frowned, spat, and asked Li Gang in a deep voice, "Have you detected any demonic beasts?"

"Well, how should I put it?" Li Gang looked down at the dense red dots on the thermal imaging screen, swallowed hard, and said with a strange sense of guilt, "Rather than actively searching, it's more like—"

"We are...surrounded."
