Chapter 6: Ice-type Spirit Seed Rebirth! Mu Ningxue presents Stardust Magic Artifact!
[Copy Mu Ningxue's B-grade talent, Ice-type Spirit Seed?]
Looking at the semi-transparent panel floating in front of him, Jiang Che confirmed it in his mind without hesitation.
[Obtained the innate ice-type spirit seed - Rock Ice]
In an instant, Jiang Che felt as if his entire body had fallen into an ice cave, extremely cold!
He even lost all sensation in his body; his limbs, blood, and organs were all frozen!
Fortunately, Jiang Che is currently in the audience; it would be much worse if he were still on the podium.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Jiang Che felt a continuous warmth coming from his shoulder.
It felt as if I were soaking in a hot spring in the dead of winter, and the chill quickly dissipated.
Jiang Che turned his head to look.
A sophisticated, mature woman with exquisite makeup was looking at her mysteriously; that woman was none other than Tang Yue.
She had one hand on Jiang Che's shoulder, which relieved his chill.
"Jiang Che, you seem to be feeling unwell."
Tang Yue parted her red lips slightly and asked with concern.
"I'll be fine in a bit."
Jiang Che spoke weakly.
But what he didn't expect was that the chill in his body seemed to be aroused by the warmth, and it ravaged his body even more fiercely!
Upon seeing this, Tang Yue immediately asked the head of the teaching department for permission to leave, and Jiang Che naturally followed her.
The two left the noisy annual performance review meeting.
They arrived at the infirmary of Tianlan Middle School.
Because mages are physically strong, the chances of them getting sick are extremely small, so the place is incredibly spacious, without even a doctor on duty.
At this moment, Jiang Che felt as if his whole body was about to freeze into ice, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Tang Yue placed both hands on the boy's strong chest.
"Fleaburn!"
She let out a low shout, and the fire element within her body erupted.
Meanwhile, the ice element within Jiang Che's body was rapidly dissipating, and his numb body gradually regained sensation.
Seeing that Jiang Che was alright, Tang Yue withdrew her hands.
Jiang Che looked at the beautiful teacher Tang Yue in front of him with some embarrassment.
"That teacher Tang Yue..."
Because he was trying to figure out what excuse to use to explain the strange condition of his body.
Little did she know that Tang Yue had already guessed everything, and she slowly said:
"To be able to contend with my Sparrow Flame, the power within you is definitely not that of a beginner mage."
"What incredible magical talent!"
Tang Yue said with a hint of envy.
As a judge with extensive experience, she naturally knew that this was a magical talent.
Jiang Che was just wondering how to explain this when Tang Yue suddenly thought that his talent was innate.
He naturally accepted this offer.
"Thank you, Teacher Tang Yue!"
This incident also served as a reminder to Jiang Che.
Even without Tang Yue, this ice-type spirit seed wouldn't have killed him.
But it'll be enough to make him miserable for a while.
Since only intermediate-level mages have the strength to collect spirit seeds, it is too much for a beginner to do so.
It seems that in the future, one should act according to one's abilities when it comes to replicating talent.
"Alright, Jiang Che, if you have any questions in the future, you can come to me."
After expressing his gratitude, Jiang Che left the infirmary.
Tang Yue, who remained in the infirmary, looked at the boy with curiosity.
In her perception, Jiang Che possessed two powers within him, as well as this mysterious talent.
This little guy has quite a few secrets.
However, Tang Yue didn't want to delve too deeply into anything that didn't involve the Black Vatican's power.
She was also curious about how far this boy would grow up to be.
……
After the annual assessment, the top 100 were included in the elite class.
These one hundred people also gained the right to use the precious Stardust Magic Artifact for a limited time.
The Mu family also held a grand banquet to welcome Mu Ningxue back today.
During the banquet.
Jiang Che remained seated on the edge, while Mu Ningxue sat in the center of the banquet.
Finding the banquet boring, he quietly left and went outside the reception room.
The Mu Family Manor is located at a high point in the entire city of Bo.
Standing here, you can see the moonlight shining like silver on Bocheng.
Jiang Che sensed the ice-type spiritual seed within his spiritual world.
"About a 2.5x increase? While it can't compare to a top-tier spirit seed, it's definitely enough for me right now."
"And then there's the disaster in Bo City..."
Jiang Che looked at the mountains shrouded in darkness, knowing in his heart that there were still two years until that disaster...
Just then, a delicate fragrance drifted in on the evening breeze.
Jiang Che turned around and saw Mu Ningxue staring straight at him with her icy blue eyes.
"haven't seen you for a long time?"
He tried to say hello.
Because he and Mu Ningxue hadn't seen each other for more than three years, and three years is enough to change many people and things.
Mu Ningxue chuckled.
Jiang Che stared blankly at the girl's smiling face, which was like an ice lotus blooming on the Tianshan Mountains, and was indescribably beautiful.
Under the moonlight, Mu Ningxue's snow-white hair gained an even more sacred and noble air.
If we go by what I said in my past life...
This girl is destined to become the unattainable white moonlight for countless people.
"Jiang Che, long time no see"
After a light laugh, Mu Ningxue still spoke somewhat coldly, but her words carried a hint of playfulness.
"I came here to give you this."
Mu Ningxue handed a sandalwood box to Jiang Che.
Jiang Che did not accept it; he felt that Mu Ningxue in front of him was somewhat unfamiliar.
"What's inside?"
"Stardust Artifact"
Mu Ningxue replied briefly.
Jiang Che stared at the box, somewhat lost in thought, but still waved his hand in refusal:
"I can't accept it; you don't even have enough resources for yourself."
A single Stardust artifact costs at least a million, that's far too much money.
Even with the support of the entire Mu family of Bo City, it wouldn't be enough for a magician.
Not to mention that Mu Ningxue is studying at the Imperial Magic University, where rich kids are everywhere.
Even though this Stardust artifact is very important to him.
Consider it a gift from me.
Seeing that Jiang Che wouldn't accept it, Mu Ningxue continued to persuade him.
"Keep it for yourself, I really don't need it."
Looking at the boy who kept declining, Mu Ningxue felt as if she had returned to the past.
"You're still so strong-willed."
She reluctantly and slowly put away the sandalwood box.
Jiang Che assumed that Mu Ningxue would no longer insist, so he prepared to have a chat.
But at that moment...
"thump---"
"You...you!"
Jiang Che looked down at the girl in his arms in utter shock.
Mu Ningxue boldly stepped forward and hugged him!
"Don't push me away!"
Mu Ningxue relaxed comfortably, inhaling the scent of fresh grass emanating from the boy, which seemed to have been baked by the warm sun.
"Sigh, why bother?"
Jiang Che sighed softly.
This sixteen-year-old girl carried too much on her shoulders: her mother's hatred, the pressure from her family, and the pain of being tormented by her talent.
Jiang Che experienced it firsthand today; that feeling of falling into an ice cave was truly unbearable.
Moreover, Mu Ningxue suffered even more pain.
a long time……
Mu Ningxue released the embrace, reverting to her indifferent expression.
She placed the sandalwood box on the ground, then whispered to Jiang Che:
"Consider this your payment."
I'm heading back to Beijing tonight. I hope to see you again someday.
After saying that, Mu Ningxue turned and left nimbly, her delicate fragrance dissipating in the evening breeze.
Jiang Che looked at the sandalwood box on the ground, and after thinking for a long time, he picked it up.
"The hardest thing to bear is the kindness of a beautiful woman..."
