Chapter 82 I Am a Talented Man! (Two in One)
Before leaving, Zhou Wei asked Ge Xiaomi some questions about Lu He and why she suddenly became so powerful.
Ge Xiaomi didn't go into details, just said that Lu He was fine and was now practicing in the redwood rainforest. As for why she became so strong, it was Lu He who helped her.
Ge Xiaomi didn't say anything else, and let Zhou Wei ask it himself.
After chatting for a few more words, Zhou Wei left. Although he still had many questions, it was not easy to ask them to the end. After all, his relationship with Lu He was not that good. Some things were not appropriate to ask his girlfriend, so it was better to ask Lu He himself.
He pondered for a while in the car. He was going to send a message to Lu He, but after thinking about it, he made a phone call directly.
As the phone beeped, he was both excited and nervous.
He had a bold idea, and he didn't know if Lu He could help him realize it.
However, the call didn't go through in the end.
Zhou Wei was a little disappointed, and then drove away.
With his IQ, he couldn't think that it was early in the morning in the redwood, although Lu He hadn't slept yet and was practicing in bed.
…
In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight shines down.
Lu He half-closed his eyes and looked up at the red sun hanging in the sky. A ray of sunlight entered his pupil, giving people a feeling of absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon.
"The taste of fire element... and a small amount of light element, as well as unknown energy particles."
Lu He murmured to himself: "But why can they gather together and be transmitted to such a far place?"
He just carefully pondered the connection between the elements and particles in that ray of sunlight, but did not find any special combination between them.
There should be relevant records in the Eye of Inheritance, but he couldn't find it. It should be said that his authority was insufficient. There was no record of knowledge about the sun in the apprentice-level inheritance.
"The road is long and arduous, I am still a rookie."
Lu He laughed at himself and ended his daily meditation.
Go downstairs for breakfast.
Today's breakfast was made by Ella, Patani's trusted female assistant, oatmeal peanut butter, with eggs and milk.
Lu He was not very interested. He ate a few bites and went to the laboratory to check on the status of the Flame Demon. He felt that he had recovered a lot after a night, so he drew a few more test tubes of blood.
After drawing blood, Lu He came to the magic practice room on the third floor and began to arrange the magic circle.
Today, he will hold a ceremony to plunder a talent that he coveted from the Flame Demon.
Regarding talent, there is a special subject in the Eye of Inheritance, written by the 9th-level wizard Gavier.
The first sentence above is that talent is actually a kind of knowledge. If you understand this knowledge, you will naturally have talent.
Lu He couldn't understand it for the time being, so he planned to use a ceremony to plunder the Flame Demon's talent.
This ceremony was also created by Gavier.
During the arrangement, Patani came to him with a mobile phone and said that his phone kept ringing. Lu He took a look and saw that many people were looking for him, so he turned off the phone and threw it aside.
...
China, Beiping.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off."
Li Si pouted, aggrieved and about to cry, looking at his second uncle Li Shudao with tears in his eyes.
"It's all your fault. You insisted on calling. Now, Lu He has turned off his phone."
Li Shudao was also dumbfounded. He had contacted so many people with Lu He, sent him messages, and called him, but there was no response.
There was no other way. Under Shi Hong's instigation, he found his niece Li Si and made two calls. No one answered the first one, and the second one was turned off.
"Are you so impatient? Can't you wait a few more days? I used to chat with him and send him messages. He would reply to me at most every three days. Now it's like this. I don't know if he will talk to me again in the future."
When Li Si thought of this, he felt even worse. He opened his eyes wide and glared at his uncle.
"Sisi, I know you're anxious, but don't worry."
"Uh... there are many reasons why the phone prompts to shut down. Maybe Lu He's phone ran out of power while he was talking, and then it turned off automatically."
"It's also possible that Lu He didn't notice when you called for the first time, and when you called again, he happened to be in a place where the signal was not very good."
Li Shudao's scalp was numb. In order to comfort his niece, he racked his brains to come up with two reasons that even elementary school students would not believe, and lied against his conscience.
"Yes, it must be out of power!"
Li Si's watery eyes lit up after hearing it, and she felt that what his second uncle said made sense.
"Fuck!"
"Dog licker!"
Li Shudao complained in his heart, and couldn't bear it anymore. He told Li Si to notify him immediately if she had any news.
Then he turned around and left.
He had to think of a way again. If it didn't work, he could only contact Liangxiang in Japan again.
…………
Swish!
Lu He, who didn't answer the phone, drew the curtains.
The black silk curtains directly blocked the windows tightly, and no light came in.
The room became pitch black, and after a few seconds, a faint scarlet light suddenly appeared on the ground.
The ground of the entire training room had been drawn by Lu He with a layer of strange words and lines.
These dense symbols looked extremely distorted, like small snakes entangled and connected together, and constantly radiating scarlet light outward.
The light intertwined, faintly forming the appearance of a witchcraft array.
In the middle of the magic circle, there are two large and small pure green solid wood tables, on which many scratches are carved with some kind of red paint, forming a strange pattern.
"The talent plundering magic circle is finally completed!"
Lu He carefully checked the witchcraft magic circle again and confirmed that there was no problem.
He went downstairs to eat and went to the top floor to adjust his state.
When the last sunset completely disappeared in the rain forest, Lu He opened his eyes.
He got up and went to the laboratory, brought the fire demon into the magic circle, and put it on a smaller green wooden table after knocking it unconscious.
After instructing Patani not to disturb him, Lu He opened the blood vessels on the hand of the fire demon and attached magic power to the wound to prevent healing.
Drops of sticky blood continued to overflow from his wrist and fell on the ground, making a low ticking sound, which looked very scary in the dim room.
After the blood gathered to a certain extent on the ground, it began to flow into the formation along a specific trajectory.
Zizi! ! !
Affected by the blood of the Flame Demon, the scarlet light of the entire witchcraft magic circle suddenly became several times stronger.
"Let's start!"
After Lu He sensed that the magic circle was running well, he took off his clothes and stood naked on the large green wooden platform.
Then, Lu He picked up a scalpel, and the sharp blade reflected a scarlet cold light.
Lu He's face was calm, and he cut two cuts on his forehead, with the cuts crossing and the intersection just at the center of his eyebrows.
After doing all this, Lu He stood quietly on the wooden platform and waited.
I don't know how long it took, and finally, the scarlet light in the room slowly subsided.
Huh! ! !
With a sound similar to a breeze, a translucent red Flame Demon suddenly rushed out of the magic circle and pounced on Lu He.
The red Flame Demon rushed into the air in front of Lu He, but suddenly stopped in front of him.
Bang!
The red Flame Demon suddenly exploded, turning into countless red light spots, floating in front of Lu He.
Lu He stretched out his finger and gently touched the light spot.
Instantly, all the light spots rushed towards him, and all drilled into the intersection of his brows.
A burning sensation quickly spread from the brain to the whole body, as if all the cells in the body were burning together.
About half an hour later, Lu He's body was burning with light golden flames, and a dark red complex rune appeared faintly between his eyebrows, like a dancing golden flame flower.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Lu He stood there stiffly for a long time without moving.
More than two hours later, Lu He opened his eyes, his eyes were faintly red, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Elemental talent-fire affinity!"
"I am also a man with talent!"
Fire affinity means that his power and effect in fire spells will be greatly improved in the future, and it also means that he will get twice the result with half the effort when practicing fire element spells.
This is his real talent. The previous plant affinity cannot actually be regarded as a talent, but a spell recorded in the Eye of Inheritance.
Lu He got dressed with some excitement, ready to go outside to test it out and see how much his fire magic had improved.
Before leaving, he took a look at the Flame Demon and wilted again.
Without paying attention to him, Lu He went straight to the test room.
The test room was very large, about 40 square meters, but most of the empty space inside was occupied by various high-end-looking equipment, leaving only a narrow space in the middle.
The space was surrounded by half a meter thick special metal, and there were many deep and shallow pits on the metal wall.
These were the equipment purchased from the Eagle Federation, and Lu He had learned how to use them, and he learned very quickly.
"Let's test it with the classic fireball technique."
After Lu He finished speaking, he stretched out his hand, and a moment later, an orange-red fireball appeared in his palm.
There was no movement of his hand, only a shadow of fire flashed in the air, and the fireball had already hit the metal wall.
With a bang, sparks flew everywhere, and another shallow pit appeared on the wall.
Lu He came to the computer next to him and tapped on the keyboard. After more than ten minutes, lines of data appeared on the screen.
Temperature, speed, radiation, energy, spectral ratio data, time, etc., huge amounts of data are jumping drastically, and finally stabilized on a very small fluctuation.
Lu He carefully analyzed the data and had a rough idea in his mind. The power of Fireball was significantly improved, and the casting speed was also faster.
Finally, he sorted it out in detail and created a file:
Fireball - Level 0 Fire Element Spell
Consumption: Mental Power 2.0→1.7, Magic Power 20→17
Speed: 280m/s→321m/s
Energy: 930J→1057J (±10J fluctuation)
Casting Time: 3 seconds→2 seconds
Fireball has been improved in all aspects.
What surprised Lu He the most were the casting time and speed, which were greatly improved, exceeding 10%, because these two items are related to whether you can take the initiative and hit the target.
Other things are fine, such as energy. A little more power is indeed a good thing, but the original energy of the fireball is enough, and it is still in a state of excess. 900J and 1000J hit the body of the creature, and the result is the same.
For more than an hour, Lu He tested other fire element spells one by one. Like the fireball, there are certain improvements in all aspects.
…………
"Alas, I won't bother you anymore. You should take good care of yourself for a while."
Lu He looked at the dying Flame Demon, feeling very upset, because his demon potion would be delayed for a few days before it could be refined.
He sent Flame Demon back to his private room and injected a large amount of life energy. Lu He was relieved when he saw that he was getting better.
He went to the bedroom to take a shower, changed his clothes, and went downstairs to eat the barbecue rice that Patani had just made.
He remembered the mobile phone halfway through the meal, so he asked Patani to bring it to him.
He ate and read.
There were dozens of missed calls and hundreds of unread messages.
It was really out of the ordinary. In the past, there were only ten messages at most during the Chinese New Year, and they were basically group messages.
Now that he is an apprentice, more people care about him.
He replied to a few messages from his elders first, not many, just his fourth uncle and an uncle from his mother's side, and Le Qin, who can't be considered an elder, but a sister.
Just after replying to a message, a call came in. The number was awesome, with a series of 6s.
Lu He knew it was a scam and hung up. A few seconds later, the call came again. Lu He hung up again. He called again and blocked the call this time.
Then it was quiet and he felt relieved.
Then it was his left and right knights. The group name of Beauty and the Beast was changed to Lu He's left and right knights.
In the group were Ge Xiaomi and Feng Yin. They knew that Lu He would not look at his phone for a few days because he was busy, so they did not x-on:him. In the past, the two of them discussed mostly clothes, shoes, photos and the like in the group. Since they changed their jobs to knights, they discussed their cultivation insights every day.
Especially Ge Xiaomi boasted yesterday that she had knocked down the two Zhou brothers, which made Feng Yin eager to move and said that she also wanted to find the Zhou brothers to learn from each other.
Lu He was amused.
When he found the two Zhou brothers, they had indeed sent him messages. He opened Zhou Wei's chat box and saw more than a dozen messages that were all the same, all with four words:
Brother Lu, are you there?
Lu He was speechless and replied, "Your brother Lu is gone."
As a result, Zhou Wei replied in seconds: Brother Lu, I know you are here, I have something to tell you.
Lu He was even more speechless and ignored him for now.
Zhou Wu was much more normal and sent a happy New Year's greeting.
Next was Li Si, all small talk, asking him what he was busy with, where he had been recently, and so on, and there was also a full-body photo, asking him if this outfit looked good.
Clicked it.
In the photo, she was wearing a black slim-fitting T-shirt, which clearly outlined her slender waist. Her long black hair was simply draped over her chest. Her skin was fair, revealing a faint redness. She was holding a striped small bag in her hand, and she looked like a girl next door.
Lu He chose to follow his heart and replied with two words: Good-looking.
Li Si also replied in seconds: Really? (cute expression)
Then there was Xia Qiming, all of which were inappropriate for children. Lu He was too lazy to reply and ignored them directly.
There were many other groups, old groups, new groups, and various groups. They gave out red envelopes and wished each other a happy New Year. It was very lively.
Lu He looked at them one by one, and sent big red envelopes to those he knew, and left directly to those he didn't know.
As he looked at them, he found that Xia Qiming, this bastard, pulled him the most. The most outrageous thing was that there was some kind of airdrop group. He thought it was a parachuting group at first, but who knew it was that.
Lu He found Xia Qiming and sent a message, "You kid is really wild."
He looked at it for more than half an hour, but the more he looked at the messages, the more messages he saw, and his phone never stopped vibrating.
Lu He was in a good mood today, and he was very patient. He looked at them one by one and replied one by one.
Then Zhou Wei called, and Lu He hesitated for a while but still answered.
"Brother Lu, are you there?"
"Brother Wei, don't worry, I will still be here even if the earth is gone." Lu He replied unhappily.
"Haha, Brother Lu is really humorous."
"No kidding, by the way, do you have any urgent matter to find me? You even called me."
"Do you have a secret method to quickly hold the elixir? Can you teach me?" Zhou Wei on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds and asked tentatively.
Holding the elixir, this is the ultimate pursuit of countless warriors from ancient times to the present.
He and Lu He are not in a relationship like Ge Xiaomi, and he doesn't know if Lu He will teach him. He feels that there is little hope, but he still wants to give it a try.
"Sure, but my method requires surgery, I don't know if you can accept it." Lu He doesn't care, it only takes more than ten minutes to cut two knives.
"Really???"
"Accept!!!"
Zhou Wei was very excited, so excited that he only heard the beginning of "yes" and the end of "can't accept".
...
At the same time, in Beiping.
Li Shudao and Shi Hong took Li Si's mobile phone and looked at the prompt in the chat box that they were talking on the phone, and were stunned.
As soon as Lu He came online, he received a notification, and then called Lu He. He was hung up three times and was finally blocked. Because they were worried about leaving a bad impression on Lu He, the two discussed and did not continue to change numbers to call.
So Shi Hong dragged him to find Li Si, because they saw Lu He's reply to Li Si in the background.
Li Shudao talked for a long time, and finally brought up the group's interests and the future development of the group, and Li Si agreed to make the call.
Shi Hong walked out and asked the staff outside.
"Who is talking to him?"
"Minister, it's Zhou Wei who is calling."
"Zhou Wei? Zhou Wu's younger brother?"
"Yes, he's hung up now."
After Lu He hung up the call, he saw Li Si's missed call again. The photo she sent flashed through his mind, and he decided to take the initiative to call her back, in case she had something urgent to ask him.
"Si Si?"
"Yes, what are you doing?"
"Just finished dinner."
"What did you eat?"
"Barbecue rice."
"Oh, is it delicious?"
Li Shudao: ...
Shi Hong: ...
Under the crazy signal of his second uncle, Li Si told Lu He about the situation and handed the phone to Li Shudao.
...
"Oh, then you guys come."
Ten minutes later, Lu He hung up the phone and sent the address.
Looking at the time, it was almost dawn. Lu He shook his head helplessly. He would not have looked at his phone if he had known.
He originally wanted to refine the Hand of Pain at night.
It's true that people in the world are helpless.
Lu He felt that he was too humane as a wizard, and there were many things he couldn't give up.
I don’t know what I will be like in dozens or hundreds of years when all the people I know are gone.
