Chapter 597: The Change of Sigong Hiyori: The Ice Sculpture Melts (7/7, Requesting Subscription)

"I don't know either," Sigong Hiyori said awkwardly, setting the table down. "Why did just reciting it once let me lift such a heavy table?!"

"Koa, you try too!"

Saying this, she wrote out the Light Spell and handed it to Sōsaka Koa.

Sōsaka Koa glanced at it, saw it was only a few hundred characters, memorized it quickly, and destroyed the text.

Since there was no benefit, Sōsaka Koa naturally didn't want to reveal supernatural power.

After doing this, Sōsaka Koa silently recited the incantation in her heart.

In the void, white light descended.

Sōsaka Koa recited it three times in succession, feeling warmth gather within her body and her strength surge.

But her stomach also growled loudly.

Sigong Hiyori, hearing this, exclaimed in shock: "Does reciting spells consume food too?"

"Young Lady, this is normal," Sōsaka Koa analyzed. "Energy isn't created from nothing—at least low-level cultivators can't generate energy out of thin air, and reciting a few incantations won't summon divine power. I suspect the spell merely converts food nutrients into magic power. The efficiency of this energy conversion, though, is thousands of times higher than the human body's own digestive system!"

Saying this, she walked to the rosewood table, pinched one corner between two fingers, and effortlessly lifted the several-hundred-pound table.

Sōsaka Koa was Sigong Hiyori's personal attendant, and to protect her, she had learned many skills.

But her strength still remained within the range of an ordinary person.

Lifting several hundred pounds with just two fingers was clearly no longer ordinary.

At least in this world, even weightlifters couldn't do it.

Sōsaka Koa was stunned: "It seems this ordinary spell isn't as ordinary as we thought."

Sigong Hiyori nodded, her eyes bright: "How amazing—this is supernatural power. Just reciting a few lines of scripture increased my strength. It's too wondrous."

Sōsaka Koa suggested: "Young Lady, time waits for no one. Since we've encountered this opportunity, we should seize it. Let's handle the loaned credit points soon."

"Mm々｀." Sigong Hiyori, having felt the benefits of the supernatural, was already eager.

Hearing this, she no longer hesitated and opened the chat group.

Sigong Hiyori: "I just recited the Light Spell—now I can lift several hundred pounds with one hand. Is this normal?"

Su Xiao: "For ordinary people, definitely not. But everyone in our group aims for immortality—this kind of spell is naturally ordinary."

Komeko: "Exactly. Before, I'd be shocked by several hundred pounds of strength. Now, I can move mountains and fill seas with ease. What's several hundred pounds?"

Aniya: "Aniya is also very strong—she can blow up a mountain. But Mom and Dad said not to cause destruction, so she doesn't dare use her strength on people."

Kurogane: "Aniya is good when she listens. With that strength, you could crush anyone into dust."

Aniya: "【afraid】 Okay."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "Aniya's schoolmates are in trouble. If she gets angry, one punch could turn someone to ash."

Aniya: "..."

Aniya: "Aniya would never do that!"

Sigong Hiyori: "By the way, you said loans were possible—can I borrow too?"

Kōbutsu Kanae: "Of course. Want to borrow?"

Sigong Hiyori: "I want to borrow!"

Kōbutsu Kanae: "【red envelope】 Same rules as always—feel free to DM me if you don't understand."
