Magical Cat

Elaine already knows that Li En now cultivates alone every day.

So after Li En took her to class, they parted ways.

After several days of training, Li En felt that the basement Melina provided was actually quite nice.

It not only provides sufficient privacy, but also allows him to cast spells freely without alerting the academy.

Moreover, after reading the two books Melina gave him, Li En gained a deeper understanding of magical circuits and was full of confidence in his current task.

On this day, Li En came to Melina's basement again.

Melina had no classes today, so she accompanied Li En in his training and could also provide guidance from the side.

Li En was naturally happy to have such professional guidance.

But today, as soon as Li En entered the basement, he looked towards a corner, then turned to Melina and asked, "Who's that sneaky guy?"

Melina pursed her lips, trying to suppress a laugh.

From the corner, Joey's figure slowly appeared, her gaze towards Lee En filled with surprise and uncertainty.

He glanced at Melina, then at Lee, his gaze shifting.

Joey couldn't understand how Lee En could have figured out that he was hiding in this corner, even with Melina secretly tipping him off.

He had originally intended to observe Li En from the shadows, but this little cat revealed his location as soon as it appeared.

"How is this possible? My invisibility magic is so powerful that even Melina couldn't detect it. This little cat..."

Joey stared at the faint magical energy emanating from Lee En, racking her brains but unable to understand how the other party had seen through her.

Melina shrugged, actually feeling quite relieved.

Joey secretly infiltrated the academy and then met up with Melina.

Melina originally wanted to get him a legitimate status to visit the campus, but he insisted on showing off.

But believe it or not, Joey actually managed to sneak in without alerting the academy and gloated in front of me for quite a while.

Unfortunately, he was seen through at a glance by Li En.

Li En was also puzzled by Joey's reaction and thought Joey was a weirdo.

The magical energy emanating from Joey was like a giant black hole, violently affecting Li En's magical perception skills.

From a quantitative perspective, it's a huge question mark; even a cat would have to ask who that is.

As a result of asking that one question, the other person kept looking at me strangely, as if I had asked something I shouldn't have.

Li En quietly hid behind Melina, trying to distance himself from the strange woman.

When Melina saw Joey looking at her, she shrugged innocently, indicating that it had nothing to do with her.

"Li En, don't worry, he's not a bad person, he's just a little strange."

Melina still had a conscience after all, and she made an excuse for Joey.

"Is he going to stay here indefinitely?"

Li En's meaning was clear: he didn't want to be with this strange person, and he didn't want him to see his cultivation process.

"Uh, well..."

Melina looked somewhat embarrassed and glanced at Joey.

Joey held a higher position in the Society than she did, so only he could make the decision in this situation.

Joey coughed lightly and then stepped forward.

Seeing him approach, Li En hid even more deeply, only peeking out from behind Melina to observe him.

Upon realizing that the kitten had completely mistaken him for a creepy uncle, Joey couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

I never expected that the first hurdle of this inspection would be myself.

"Haha, little kitty, don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. I'm just a little curious about you."

As soon as he said it, Joey noticed that the kitten opposite him was even more frightened and even turned and ran away.

Joey's face darkened, and he immediately used Flash to block Li En.

Before Joey could say anything more, Melina quickly said, "Don't worry, he's also from the Tongxin Society."

Upon hearing this, Li En immediately stopped being afraid and even gave Joey a big eye roll, his eyes filled with obvious disdain.

"Hey, what does this mean?" Joey was getting annoyed.

Li En swaggered back to Melina's side, then lightly leaped onto her shoulder.

"What's he here for? To preach your doctrines to me?" Li En asked casually.

"No, no, no, he's here to test you. Passing the test will bring great benefits." Melina now understands Li En's personality and starts by talking about the benefits.

As expected, Li En's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked, "How much benefit?"

"You should pass his test first; it will definitely benefit you anyway."

The less Melina said, the more curious Lee En became.

When he learned that Joey was also a member of the Tongxin Society, he wasn't afraid of Joey mainly because he understood that these people wanted something from him.

Although Li En still doesn't understand what their organization does, it's clear from the previously signed contract that the Tongxin Society values ​​magical beasts very much.

Especially a magical beast like him, who clearly has a bright future ahead of him.

Moreover, if the other party really does something, Melina alone is enough to deal with him.

Seeing Joey approach with a displeased expression, Li En asked him directly, "So, how are you going to test me?"

Joey was already annoyed by Li En's attitude towards him, and now that Melina had persuaded Li En with just a few words, he was even more annoyed.

Seeing that Li En was willing to cooperate, Joey also put on airs: "Calling it a test is just to see what you're really made of."

"For high-quality magical beasts, the Tongxin Association has a very strong training policy."

"You'll get your share of the good stuff, but you have to prove you deserve it first!"

Joey's initial politeness followed by arrogance only made Lee En find it even more amusing.

He approached me like a weird uncle just now, but now he's putting on airs again.

But Li En was confident in his own abilities, and since the Tongxin Society was offering him benefits for free, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Then how can I prove it?" Li En asked directly.

"Just continue your cultivation as usual, I'll be watching from the side."

Now that things were already out in the open, Joey didn't need to hide anything. He simply stood against the wall, waiting for Lee En's performance.

Lee En looked at Melina and saw that Melina was just nodding to encourage him, so he did as Joey said.

If it doesn't interfere with his daily cultivation, that would be the best.

As usual, Li En began casting the binding spell in the basement.

He had performed this spell hundreds of times, so he knew it by heart, and his casting speed was getting faster and faster.

Joey only saw Li En close his eyes and concentrate, and the next moment a large patch of vines sprouted from the ground, covering an area of ​​more than ten square meters.

Seeing this, Joey's expression turned serious.

He remembered Melina telling him that Li Encai had only been hatched for a short time and was still a juvenile magical beast.

Not only can a juvenile magical beast cast spells, but it is also a magical creation with such a large scope, which is indeed beyond common sense.

Moreover, the casting speed is almost instantaneous.

Putting everything else aside, just from this one spell, it's clear that Li En's talent is truly extraordinary.

Joey narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself:

"That's interesting."
