Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death.

Chapter 98 Nebula Anomaly, Lu Nian

Old Bao went to do his shady business, while Xu Fang lay on the bed and tried to move his arm.

Not sour?

Xu Fang was somewhat surprised, because according to Lingling, he had been lying in bed for a month.

Putting aside whether there are professional muscle atrophy prevention massages in France or the world, even if you get a massage, lying down for such a long time will definitely have aftereffects, and it's hard to say whether you'll be able to lift your head.

After shifting to a more comfortable position, Xu Fang closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.

Cultivation is the foundation of one's existence in the magical realm. Just as hands and feet are like clothes, cultivation is like hands and feet. A mage would rather lose an arm than lose even one magic user.

"Four nebulae in total, very good... hmm?"

Xu Fang was stunned.

Wait, four nebulae?

It's true that I have four attributes, but the golden star is my true body; I should actually possess three nebulae!

What the heck is that extra one?

And when did my water element break through to the intermediate level?

"Wait, let me sort this out..."

The amount of information was too much for Xu Fang's brain, which had been slept for a month, to process. So he gave up thinking and decided to look at the water system, which he was more familiar with.

Within the Water Nebula, forty-nine golden stars are hurtling about, their surrounding rings shimmering with aquamarine light.

What Xu was most concerned about was the shape of the nebula.

The nebulae of ordinary mages usually have some impurities and are just shiny, without anything special about them.

But the nebula that Xu Fang was facing now looked as if it were hidden in the mist, swirling like a vortex, with a dangerous mystery.

"A spirit seed?"

Xu Fang's eyes widened. "Damn, is it okay for someone to have a wild spirit seed growing in their brain?"

Talk is talk, and jokes are jokes. Elemental things are all about mutual consent; if either party rejects them, the absorption ritual will fail.

In other words, it's likely that Xu Fang absorbed it himself.

"Could it be... the mist from Duma Waterfall?"

Old Man Bao just told him that the dense fog was generated by Riley and his group of priests using a water-based magic array, and this spirit seed is most likely a kind of array eye.

Such a precious item, I never expected it to fall into the hands of my murderous enemy. I wonder what kind of expression Lai Li would have if he knew this in the afterlife.

After examining the water system, Xu Fang turned his gaze to the fourth nebula that had suddenly appeared.

"Wow!"

The Misty Nebula was already stunning enough, but what Xu Fang didn't expect was that this brand-new nebula was even more abstract.

Surprisingly, it wasn't the traditional star-ring combination, but rather something like the Earth-Moon system, with an eerie purple star hovering around the golden star.

The two stars are not much different in size, giving people a certain feeling.

It seems that all it takes is a trigger for the eerie purple star to turn the tables and make the golden star its satellite!

······

Old Bao still had some professional ethics; while ruthlessly fleecing the fat sheep, he didn't forget to inform the big shots that he had regained consciousness.

A small town in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Hua Zhanhong received the message from Old Man Bao, and his furrowed brows finally relaxed for a moment.

Opposite him stood a tall man, his face filled with resentment and defiance.

"Commander Hua, I disagree with your decision!" the man protested indignantly, arguing, "Give me more time and more test subjects, and I will succeed immediately. This is a magical breakthrough that has never been seen before in history..."

"Listen to your tone, Lu Nian. As a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, do you think human lives are just disposable experimental materials?"

Lu Nian was speechless, then argued, "These people were originally death row inmates. Although there were indeed some uncontrollable aspects, we eventually dealt with them all cleanly, and they didn't harm anyone!"

He felt that the current Chinese military leaders were so rigid and incomprehensible that they had completely lost the boldness they once possessed.

As long as the goal is good, what does it matter if the means are a little dishonest?

They were clearly creating. In ancient times, when there were very few magic systems that people could awaken and learn, there were still great people in various fields exploring and pioneering.

Sacrificing for humanity is a mage's duty. Each additional elemental power strengthens the nation and humanity as a whole!

Unfortunately, my superiors are blind and cannot see my sincere heart!

"Obey orders." Hua Zhanhong was too lazy to say anything more.

He had never really liked Lu Nian, his subordinate. Although Lu Nian was one of the most capable people in the Military Intelligence Bureau, his extreme and stubborn nature sometimes made him seem like a madman.

"yes!"

Even though Lu Nian had a thousand reasons to disagree, he could only salute and watch Hua Zhanhong leave, not daring to cause any more trouble.

Snapped!

Lu Nian lit his pipe, took a deep drag, and stared into a daze, seemingly lost in thought.

As Lieutenant Jiang Yi entered, Lu Nian looked at her and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Jiang Yi said, "It seems something happened with the parasitic demons, but I can't find out the specifics because I don't have the necessary permissions."

"The idiots in charge of the new dimension messed things up, and now we have to swallow the consequences," Lu Nian sneered. "They're clearly just making up an excuse because they're afraid my great experiment will shake their position."

"So what do we do now?" Jiang Yi asked.

After a moment's struggle, Lu Nian's face hardened: "Continue the experiment! We're on the right track; all we're missing is a perfect test subject!"

Jiang Yi couldn't help but say, "But by doing this, you're openly disobeying military orders. If you're caught by the magic police, you'll be stripped of your rank!"

"So what? I'm doing this for humanity!" Lu Nian's dark face surprisingly revealed a hint of holiness: "As long as a new system can be created, I don't care about losing my military rank, or even my life!"

Jiang Yi looked at Lu Nian with fervent eyes.

"Your subordinate will certainly follow!"

······

Shanghai, Qingtian Hunting Grounds.

"Xu Fang!"

When Jiang Shaoxu returned from buying food and heard the news that Xu Fang had woken up, she excitedly ran upstairs.

Lingling called after her, "Slow down! You'll spill it! My floor! My carpet!"

Rushing into the room, Xu Fang, who had just snapped out of his meditation, turned around and smiled at the noise: "You're back?"

Jiang Shaoxu lunged forward, stumbled and fell on top of Xu Fang, causing Xu Fang to gasp in shock.

"Are you alright? I didn't mean to!" Jiang Shaoxu was flustered with concern and said helplessly, "Does it hurt a lot? I... I'll rub it for you!"

Lingling, who was following behind, pouted. This wasn't pain; it was clearly a bittersweet experience!

As she rubbed his eyes, they reddened, and tears streamed down her face.

Xu Fang lost his composure. "Hey, hey, hey, it seems like I'm the one in pain, why are you crying?"

"Don't cry, I'm fine, I'm perfectly healthy now." Xu Fang raised his arm, his biceps bulging as if to show strength.

"Are you really alright?"

"I'm perfectly fine, nothing's wrong with me."

This sentence really provoked Jiang Shaoxu. Under Xu Fang's questioning gaze, he reached out and lifted Jiang Shaoxu's head up like a radish.

Their eyes met, and they could hear each other breathing.

Xu Fang's gaze darted away, and then, in a moment of madness, he actually closed his eyes.

Jiang Shaoxu's breathing became erratic. Looking at Xu Fang, who was looking up with his eyes closed and his eyelashes trembling slightly, she knew the atmosphere had reached a certain point... She gritted her teeth and suddenly lowered her head.

"Eek!"

Lingling, standing at the door, let out a small scream and quickly covered her eyes with both hands, her fingers spread wide apart, her big, dark eyes peeking out from between them.

Oh ho ho ho!

Lingling watched with great interest, though she couldn't explain why, since it was nowhere near as profitable as making money or hunting demons...

Perhaps it's because the way the two were so engrossed in each other made it so relatable?

Thank you to [Young Master Ye] for the 1000 coins!
