Chapter 783: The Incantations Type

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Once Lu Shu reached home, he started managing all the Spirit Qi that he could control from within his Seal of Lands. This could probably be considered one of the most serious matters he had ever done.

He channeled some Spirit Qi from the wilderness into the cities and concentrated most of it in Luo Shen Cultivation College and areas populated with secret pract.i.tioners. Thanks to the rats, most of the vegetation had been eaten up. Thus, Lu Shu could have a peace of mind when he poured in the Spirit Qi.

In fact, Luo Shen Cultivation College was situated in a Spirit Qi-rich area as a result of the remains. Thus, there had been special projects arranged by the Heavenly Network on the prevention of mutated creatures in the region, so as to avoid similar disasters as what had happened at Liu Li’s and Jiang Shuyi’s houses.

Speaking of which, Liu Li was rather happy at the moment despite his old villa being destroyed. Now, the concentration of Spirit Qi at his new house had far exceeded the average level elsewhere. This had rendered his land more than one billion bucks in value.

Of course, that had to be attributed to Lu Shu. Although he refused to admit it, the magical land he had given to Liu Li and Jiang Shuyi was indeed priceless.

And now, Lu Shu could ensure that there were no mutated creatures anywhere near Luo City.

At this moment, Lu Shu started wondering whether the mighty creator of the Seal of Lands had performed similar deeds before, which had resulted in humans becoming much more intelligent than other species.

In the meantime, the Heavenly Network had also noticed the influence of the growing Spirit Qi on human society. Many had become stronger, and even those with low apt.i.tudes had benefited from inhaling Spirit Qi as well. Furthermore, the rich were also willing to reside on magical lands despite their inability to draw energy from Nature.

Nonetheless, for humans, the main improvement lay in the intellectual aspect as compared to other animals. According to research conducted by the Heavenly Network, residents of magically rich lands, or those who had stayed in the vicinity, had experienced an increase in IQ of around 10 to 20 points on average.

Moreover, similar findings were revealed in foreign countries too. For instance, children who were diagnosed with dyslexia had become noticeably better at reading after some time in magically rich lands.

Such academic findings were often available for sharing purposes, as they were not essential for one’s survival, but helpful in establis.h.i.+ng a good image of the various organizations.

Nevertheless, special cases such as “dyslexia” were rarely reported in China because those patients would often be dismissed as simply being stupid…

Yet, just when Lu Shu was busy transferring the Spirit Qi, he noticed a blast of energy waves from the lane beside his house… Wait, was it not the house in which Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao were staying?

In the next moment, he saw Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao pus.h.i.+ng each other out of the house, wrestling together. Immediately Lu Shu recalled his consciousness back to his physical body and ran out of his house. He shouted at the two boys, “Stop pus.h.i.+ng!”

Then, the two guys began to kick each other…

Lu Shu rubbed his temples in annoyance. “Stop kicking too!”

To his astonishment, the two of them started spitting at each other while standing still…

Lu Shu’s face went dark. “Oi! Stop! What’s going on?”

Cheng Qiuqiao replied angrily, “I asked Chen Zuan to help me remain conscious by providing external sounds while I swallowed the awakening fruit, just in case I get a.s.similated with the element.”

That made perfect sense. Lu Shu once faced the same crisis as well. Eventually, he regained his consciousness with a drop of Lu Xiaoyu’s tears. “Then?” he asked.

Cheng Qiuqiao suddenly turned to Chen Zuan and stared at him with fires burning in his eyes. “Then, this fellow kept singing songs after I ate the fruit. Although I was not a.s.similated by the element, the element had almost been a.s.similated by the song…”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. He turned to Chen Zuan and said, “You’ve changed my impression of you!” Then, he asked Cheng Qiuqiao, “What song did he sing?”

After a long pause, Cheng Qiuqiao hummed a small part of the song, as if he was extremely embarra.s.sed by it. “The little conch sh.e.l.l goes di di di, making the seagulls go wild in sky. The little conch sh.e.l.l goes di di di, making the sea waves ogling at sh.o.r.e ¹ …”

Lu Shu’s mouth twitched a bit as Cheng Qiuqiao repeated the lyrics. What the h.e.l.l was with that “ogling”?

However, once Cheng Qiuqiao sang the song, two sparrows, who were flying cheerfully around the branches just one second ago, suddenly plunged towards the ground as if they were drunk…

That caught the three of them off guard. Lu Shu immediately reached out to catch the sparrows. He shouted, “Is this a new power you have awakened?!”

Fortunately, the tree was not that tall. After a short moment, the birds flew away again, as though everything that had happened earlier was a mere illusion.

But the boys did not believe that it was that simple. They walked towards a taller tree. Lu Shu glanced up at the flock of sparrows perching on the tree branches and said, “Try again. Sing it silently in your heart.”

Cheng Qiuqiao obeyed. But nothing happened. Thus, Lu Shu asked him to sing aloud. Just as before, all of the birds in the tree collapsed towards the ground, as if they were unable to stand his singing.

Lu Shu caught the birds one by one in his hand and set them free again. Then, he told Cheng Qiuqiao in a firm voice after taking a deep breath, “Confirmed. It’s your new ability, though I’d say it’s quite unique indeed…”

“Chen Zuan! I’m not done with you!” Cheng Qiuqiao roared. Then, the two of them started wrestling again.

But Lu Shu had a strange feeling about it. He had never heard of any incidents similar to this one. Thus… Chen Zuan’s singing must be very powerful!

Honestly speaking, Lu Shu was very eager to conduct an experiment right now. He wanted to ask someone else to eat the fruit and see what kind of power he would awaken to. It was possible that the abilities developed would be related to interfering with the activity of birds, just that Cheng Qiuqiao’s was more special in the sense that he had to chant a few lines of incantations first.

Luckily, they were in an inland city. Otherwise, Lu Shu would really love to see the effects on sea waves when Cheng Qiuqiao sang it to the sea…

Speaking of which… would it affect humans too, since it worked on birds?! Or other creatures like gargoyles?

While there were elemental types of Metahumans, such as the fire and the thunder-types, people around Lu Shu had awakened to more interesting ones. For instance, the little fatty was a gifted eater, and Cheng Qiuqiao… Could he be counted as a wizard? Or rather, the incantations type?

If this power was really effective on humans, Lu Shu highly suspected that Cheng Qiuqiao would be chanting incantations behind Chen Zuan when the latter flew in the sky after the two had ascended to Cla.s.s A…

For some reason, Lu Shu was really looking forward to seeing that in person…

At this moment, a person entered their sight from outside the yard. Lu Shu recognized him at once. “Hey! The dishonest seller!”

“From Zhao Yongchen’s distress, +399!”

Lu Shu had never expected to meet him there. Then, a thought struck him. “Are you a teacher now at Luo Shen Cultivation College?”

Zhao Yongchen replied with a genuine smile. “Correct. I will be teaching the students in the Investigation cla.s.s and the Species Research cla.s.s. I left as soon as my wounds were healed. In fact, my foundation has been destroyed in the battle in Africa last time, and now, fortunately, I can still be of some use.”

Lu Shu went silent. That could explain the absence of their teacher as Zhao Yongchen had been in the process of recovery.
