CHAPTER 431: SEE THE TRUTH IN TWO HOURS (LEISURE NEW BOOK CONTENT)

The other person’s malevolent gaze was evident, but it was clear that they were still adhering to certain specific rules, unable to cause him any effective harm, apart from causing some psychological shadow, there was no other effect.

As long as one does things honestly according to the rules, there should be no problems.

Then, what will this devil summoned from within himself bring him, and where will it go from here?

"So... hiss... what do you want... hiss..."

A intermittent sound suddenly echoed in his ear, the only thing that surprised Li Qing was that the other person’s speech always felt a bit burning, though understandable, yet quite strange.

What do you want.

Li Qing was silent for a while, finally following Rosenberg’s advice, clearing his mind, following his true self, getting what he wants, then correspondingly losing some things.

For magic, everything abides by rules, give and take is a straightforward concept, one must give to receive.

But the summoning magic taught by Rosenberg didn’t say anything about sacrifice, it wanted it all.

Oh, all mine!

That’s basically it, in other words, I’ve already given you the offering, regardless of the price being right or not, I’m just a magic practitioner, you shouldn’t be so unappreciative...

After an unknown amount of time, Li Qing suddenly felt something being stuffed into his head, the feeling was quite marvelous, like a strange essence being injected into his soul.

It made him tremble all over.

"Got the thing... hiss... then destined to lose something... hiss, hiss!"

It was at this moment!

Li Qing suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the dark figure perched on the offering ahead, he quickly uttered two strange syllables, and the spiritual power in his mind suddenly erupted, instantly pouring out into the altar.

Buzz!

Countless magic runes on the altar suddenly emitted green luminous light.

Consequently, Li Qing saw chains formed by countless magic runes binding the blurry shadow tightly.

"Squeak!!!"

A piercing creak suddenly echoed, Li Qing’s pupils shrank, horrified to see the shadow being swiftly dragged towards him by the rune chains, violently crashing into his brow.

Li Qing fell backward, unconscious.

The shadow-filled basement began to gradually brighten, the shadows rapidly contracted, disappearing without a trace.

The magic altar also calmed down, no longer possessing any divine anomalies.

...

...

When Li Qing woke up, nearly ten hours had passed.

He nursed his aching head against the wall, slowly rising, and then gradually steadied himself as his blurry vision began to clear.

"Huh? Hey?!!"

Looking at the information that appeared in his view, Li Qing was completely stunned.

"Devil’s Altar: It seems you can get a response from the devil by offering some things."

Looking at the information displayed in his vision, Li Qing’s gaze bizarrely shifted down, concentrating on the nearly dried hot pot.

"Offering eaten by the devil, seems quite delicious and suitable for the devil’s liking, but the bloody broth seems a bit spicy~"

So the devil’s hissing sound was because eating the hot pot felt too spicy, thus causing the strange sound?

So, can I see my own information?

Li Qing’s thought slightly moved, his personal panel rapidly appeared before his eyes.

"Surname: Li Qing

Tier: None

Possessed Skills: Basic Meditation Technique (Entry Level)

Talent: Identification Skill (Level 1)

Character Evaluation: Cunning Villain!!!"

Cunning villain?

Oh, so much grievance, is it necessary to evaluate me like this.

Li Qing was a bit speechless, then he came back to himself and felt a dizzying sensation, while his body was weak and couldn’t stand.

It seems this process of displaying object information consumes a lot of physical strength and spirit.

Following the desire of my own heart, could it be...

Could it be that after reading so many novels, I also yearn for a system to take over, thus I got a system’s golden finger through the devil, a system?!

Thinking of this, Li Qing couldn’t help but feel his heart pounding, if Rosenberg hadn’t repeatedly emphasized that they could only summon the devil once at their current stage, he’d really want to try again.

Excitedly bouncing back and forth in the basement for quite a while, Li Qing finally calmed down and then happily discovered that the light ball in his mind began to change, the starlights scattered by the light ball slowly diffused throughout the whole sea of consciousness.

I can condense magic power!

Li Qing’s expression was invigorated, his eagerness palpable.

At once, he didn’t hesitate, having repeatedly practiced simulating the condensation of magic power many times.

He quickly tidied up, rushed up the stairs to the bedroom, and lay down.

For condensing magic power, the posture doesn’t matter, as long as you’re comfortable.

What is magic power?

According to the magic book ’Formation of Magic Power’, magic power originates from oneself, it’s a combination of spiritual power and physical strength, but it leans more towards the attribute nature of spirit emitted as a mutation, while the body makes magic power more cohesive and controllable.

This is also why mages pay more attention to the growth of spirit, many instead neglect the body, some extreme mages even transform themselves into pure spiritual existence.

However, in the Gray Magic Academy, the book ’Formation of Magic Power’ repeatedly emphasizes that the magic path is long, spirit and body complement each other, both are indispensable.

Li Qing slowly calmed his mind, the lines in the light ball envisioned by meditation skill continuously began to fill with white light.

Finally, the white light spread, connecting with the lines, forming a true light ball spinning slowly in his mind.

This process was notably slow, as the light ball formed, the spilled starlights diffused throughout the sea of consciousness, and the starlights gradually sank and flowed into the body.

Gradually, a force deep within began to awaken, and then merged with the starlights.

As time passed long, when the spiritual starlights merged with the body’s energy, the fused substance suddenly rushed into the mind.

Boom!

Li Qing only felt his head buzz, face turning pale, immense pain instantly surged through, making him tremble all over as if rolling wildly on the bed.

After ten full minutes, the pain permeating to the bone slowly subsided, Li Qing gasped heavily, slowly rising, dizzy for quite a while before returning to his senses.

Did it succeed.

Li Qing felt the half-transparent substance in his mind, like smoke or mist, rotating around the light ball, each spin of the light ball marked by meditation would synthesize an extremely small amount of mist into it.

Is this magic power?

Li Qing was quite curious, with a thought, the magic power located in his brow began to slowly rotate and flow into the body, when this veil-like magic power filled his entire body, Li Qing got up and moved.

"Indeed..."

No augmentation at all, magic power’s primary function is still for casting magic, not strengthening the body.
