Chapter 32: Luo Pei Awakens

……

The wilderness training ended successfully. Under the persistent arguments of Lv Cheng, the students who were injured by the frenzied Gloom Wolf received varying degrees of compensation, ranging from ten thousand to one hundred thousand. For children from ordinary families, this compensation was a significant sum.

Of course, this compensation was paid personally by Zhankong. After all, he was the primary person in charge of this training and the one primarily responsible; since an incident occurred, he naturally had to take responsibility.

For a High-level Mage, a compensation of over one million was not much, but being pressed aggressively by a student truly caused Zhankong to lose face.

"You were even more impulsive this time than Mo Fan was before," Tang Yue said helplessly.

To cause conflict with a High-level Mage over such a trivial amount of compensation was truly not worth it.

"Do you think he would hold a grudge against me over such a small matter?" Lv Cheng asked in return.

"I'm not sure if he will hold a grudge, but he has certainly remembered you," Tang Yue said.

"I think so too," Lv Cheng nodded.

The corner of Tang Yue's eye twitched, "Why?"

Lv Cheng never acted emotionally; in fact, many times his actions could be described as calculated at every step!

"Do you think that Gloom Wolf really lost control by accident?" Lv Cheng asked.

Tang Yue was stunned, "You mean..."

"I didn't say anything," Lv Cheng shrugged.

It was enough to give a reminder. Now in Bo City, there was not only Ye Chang in the Black Vatican, but also the rain-bringing Wu Ku, a Super-level Water Element user and Sufferer; plotting against him was like child's play.

Right in front of Ye Chang, Black Vatican monsters could be shoved in his face, but what about when Ye Chang wasn't there?

Previously, he had intended to start directly with Ye Chang to prevent the Bo City Blood Disaster from happening. After all, he had grown up in this city, and if he just ran away alone, it would be somewhat unkind. But now it seemed he might have overestimated his status in Ye Chang's eyes.

Perhaps Ye Chang just regarded him as a fun toy.

Preventing it from the root was impossible, and he would not risk his own life to have a showdown with Ye Chang.

Then, he could only use another, safer plan.

One was Tang Yue, who had a background in the Judgment Court, and the other was Zhankong, who had a background in the military.

He had already gained most of Tang Yue's trust, and he had also roughly tested Zhankong's temper.

When the time was right, he would provide some information to these two in a subtle way.

Having done this much, his conscience was clear.

……

Returning home, Lv Cheng walked into the basement and pushed out the Luo Pei Statue he had prepared earlier.

The energy of the Rat Talisman had accumulated enough; he could attempt to activate Luo Pei.

"I must remind you, you currently have the Demon Qi of a demon on you, and Luo Pei is a Saint Warrior," Shendu said.

Saint Warriors were the group most favored by Righteous Magic, aside from the Immortal God Descendants, and their Magic Power was nearly infinite.

Whether it was Luo Pei's spells or his Spell Divine Power, their essence was special magic. Since it was magic, it naturally required the consumption of energy.

He was the most powerful Demon Wizard, and his soul could travel freely between the realms of Yin and Yang, so his Demon Qi energy was infinite, and his Spell energy was also infinite.

As for the power of other demons, they all needed to be replenished from the source of their magic.

When Ximu stood in the sky, his energy was endless; when Zhou Lan approached the moon, his energy was also endless.

Basha needed the ocean, Xiaofeng needed air currents, Zhong Su needed lightning, Dikui needed the earth, and Bogang needed massive consumption.

Once lost or far away from these sources of magic, the demons' power would gradually weaken, so during the years they were trapped in Hell, the demons' power weakened extremely severely.

Likewise, those spells that restrained him could only be activated based on the Righteous Magic left in the human world by the Eight Immortals. Righteous Magic would exist forever, and the spells that restrained him would exist forever!

This world had no Righteous Magic; even if Luo Pei were resurrected, his strength would be greatly reduced, and those damned spells would pose no threat to him!

After delaying for so long, his Magic Spell was about to be completed!

Even if Luo Pei were resurrected, he could not stop it!

"Why do I have a chilly feeling?" Lv Cheng's expression was strange.

"You wouldn't be preparing some plan to plot against me again, would you?"

"How could that be? I am currently under your control. Even if I really had some small thoughts, you could send me back to Hell at any time," Shendu said solemnly.

"Really?" Lv Cheng raised an eyebrow.

The Pure Yang Sword actually had another special function that allowed him to sense changes in himself; this thing was a true firewall!

Not only could it block the intrusion of viruses, but it could also monitor if something had quietly entered.

Shendu had tampered with him, and his body had already shown some abnormal changes.

However, for him, these changes were still acceptable, and Shendu had attributed all these changes to the influence of Fire Demon Qi, so he did not expose him.

After all, exposing him was useless; if the other party didn't admit it, what could he do?

Aside from threatening to send Shendu back to Hell, what else could he do?

Shendu had now roughly figured out his personality; he was not a good person, but he was not heinous either. He would not take the initiative to persecute others, nor would he ever sacrifice himself to fulfill others.

And this world was dangerous; he would not give up this power placed before him—the power of a demon.

"Of course," Shendu put on a sad and pitiful appearance.

"I am your teacher, after all. During this time, I have been devoted to you, only hoping that you can give me more freedom in the future."

I don't believe a word of it!

Lv Cheng complained inwardly.

Shendu did not know what abilities he possessed; Shendu knew nothing about his innate lie-detection ability or the monitoring function of the Pure Yang Sword.

And up until now, most of the things Shendu had told him were half-truths!

Whether it was the Yin-Yang Balance Contract or the situation with the Spells, Shendu was lying!

The Divine Power of the Twelve Talismans was also magic in essence; since it was magic, it was naturally impossible for there to be any issue of which one hatched first!

At most, it was just a matter of Magic Power consumption.

After all, Magic requires the consumption of energy, and the Twelve Talismans must certainly require the consumption of energy as well.

However, why does the power of the Rat Talisman require such a long time to be used?

Was it not activated?

He had actually believed it before!

But after this period of testing, he could be certain that Shendu was lying!

This old thing had been guarding against him resurrecting Luo Pei from the very first moment he left Hell!

The restriction on the Spell was fake!

"Let's begin." Lv Cheng took down the Pure Yang Sword from his chest and pressed it against the statue of Luo Pei, and Shendu also arrived on Lv Cheng's body.

The two powers merged into one, and a glowing rat appeared in Lv Cheng's pupils.

"Luo Pei, it is time to wake up."

As the Magic Power of the Rat Talisman's Turn Static into Dynamic was activated, Lv Cheng felt more than half of the energy in his body being drained away, and the Pure Yang Sword also began to tremble.

The next instant, starting from the part touched by Lv Cheng's right hand, the stone statue began to become soft, as if it had turned into true life.

"Am I... resurrected again?"

Having awakened once more, Luo Pei felt the Rat Talisman Magic Power within his body, but it was very weak and could not support him in moving for too long.

"A Demon?!"

Upon regaining his senses, Luo Pei immediately discovered the Demon Qi on Lv Cheng's body, but before he could act, he felt another aura on Lv Cheng's body.

"Don't be in such a hurry to act, I can explain this matter," Lv Cheng said hurriedly.

Even Shendu had fallen into the hands of this Saint Warrior, so he did not think he was a match for Luo Pei.

"You are a Saint Warrior?" Luo Pei felt his mind could not quite wrap itself around this.

How could there be the aura of a Demon on a Saint Warrior?

And so intense?

"What Saint Warrior?" Lv Cheng asked in his mind.

Wasn't he an Immortal God Descendant?

"Saint Warriors are mostly powerful human Mages protected by the Immortal God Qi, similar to an Immortal God Descendant like you; in nature, you are the same type of person, though you are more favored by Righteous Magic than Saint Warriors," Shendu explained.

People chosen by the Immortal God can obtain the favor of Righteous Magic; these people are usually called Saint Warriors—to explain it using a game, these people have a permanent buff obtained at the start.

As for an Immortal God Descendant, the buff on their body is stronger, and they possess higher control authority over Righteous Magic; in certain circumstances, they can even exceptionally possess administrative authority!

Just like his son, Xiao Long, who can perfectly absorb and control the Demon Qi left behind by other Demons.

Lv Cheng, under the condition of meeting certain requirements, can even obtain the true power of those Immortal Gods for a short period of time!
