What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

Jiuge took a dagger-shaped red crystal and a huge transparent crystal ball from the room and moved to the sofa.

Pointing to the dagger-shaped crystal, she explained, "This is the crystal I prepared for you last night. You must take it with you when you're working with me from now on. Its name is Yuan. It's usually very gentle, but its personality and temper can be quite fierce when conflicts arise."

Last night, she specifically consulted a psychic for a long time in order to find a suitable crystal for An Chen to use.

Within the association, Jiuge belongs to the Crystal faction, and many of her skills are closely related to crystals.

She also put a lot of effort into finding the right crystal for An Chen.

For some unknown reason, the crystals did not react when they sensed her choosing a suitable crystal for An Chen. In the end, only the most fiercely competitive 'Yuan' reluctantly appeared in Jiu Ge's mind.

“All things have a spirit.” An Chen glanced at ‘Fate’, nodded, and indicated that he understood.

"This is my commonly used divination crystal ball, named Moon. Now, place your hand on it."

Upon hearing this, An Chen nodded and gently placed his right hand on it.

With her eyes closed, Jiuge placed her hand on the other side of the crystal ball.

Soon, she entered a trance-like state and began to sense An Chen's spiritual talent.

Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds passed.

Jiuge opened her eyes, looking at the "crystal ball" in front of her with some confusion.

"Strange, it was purified and charged last night," she muttered to herself in a voice only she could hear.

This was the first time Jiuge had encountered a situation where the crystal ball did not react at all during the test.

"What's wrong?" An Chen asked with concern.

"'Moon' did not respond."

Jiuge tilted her head, looking somewhat puzzled.

"It's probably broken," An Chen said calmly.

"I see. Let's try again then."

For some reason, An Chen felt that her voice suddenly turned cold again.

The two tried several more times, but no matter what they did, the crystal ball remained unchanged and did not react at all.

Jiuge frowned, her expression somewhat serious, as if she were deep in thought.

"How about we just give up?" An Chen suggested.

He originally only wanted to hide his strength, not to cause Jiuge unnecessary trouble.

"That's impossible, unless you're the only human being without any spirituality whatsoever."

Jiuge muttered to herself.

"..."

An Chen was speechless, and began to regret that he had just kindly thought of Jiu Ge for a few seconds.

"Are you human?" Jiuge looked up, her expression serious.

"Are you insulting me?" An Chen suddenly realized.

"No, I just find it strange."

As she spoke, Jiuge gently placed her hands on the crystal ball.

Soon, the crystal ball emitted a dazzling white light.

"It's not broken."

Jiuge glanced at An Chen suspiciously, then narrowed her eyes.

"Hmm, maybe it's just that our horoscopes don't match." An Chen shrugged helplessly, his expression completely calm.

"..."

Jiuge also fell silent.

If he's not the only person in the world with absolutely no spiritual talent, then he can only be the only person in the world with an explosive talent who can hide his abilities.

An Chen clearly cannot be the second type.

"Let's try a barrier spell next."

Ignoring An Chen, Jiu Ge got up and took a piece of peach wood.

If learning barrier techniques doesn't produce the slightest reaction, then it means An Chen can only be used as a doorkeeper by her.

"For first-timers, peach wood is easier to work with than crystal."

Using her spiritual power, she drew a pentagram on the ground and began chanting a spell.

A sudden gust of wind swept in, and a thin, circular mist appeared around the two of them.

"receive."

The wind stopped, and the thin mist disappeared.

An Chen quietly observed everything before him, then glanced at Jiu Ge, his face expressionless.

Judging from the crystal ball's reaction, Jiuge's spiritual power is basically at a perfect level.

Why is she still afraid of pranks by spirits?

"Concentrate your spiritual power on the peach wood, draw a picture and chant an incantation. If you succeed, other spirits will not be able to see the mist or enter the barrier."

She handed over the peach wood, and Jiuge held out her hand, gesturing for Anchen to do the same as her.

"At first, you might not be able to use it even with peach wood, but that's okay. As long as you have the talent, you can succeed after practicing dozens or even hundreds of times," she reassured you in advance.

After all, even someone as naturally gifted with spiritual energy as her had to try several times before she succeeded.

Taking the peach wood, An Chen followed suit and drew a five-pointed star on the ground.

If there's still no reaction this time, Jiuge will probably only treat him as a doorkeeper from now on.

An Chen thought to himself, "If things really turn out that way, it will be very detrimental to achieving my goals."

After thinking for a few seconds, he began chanting the incantation.

A gentle breeze swept by, and a thin layer of light gray mist appeared around the two of them.

"?"

Jiuge opened her mouth slightly, her expression one of utter astonishment.

"how?"

"Very strong, exceeding my expectations. Although the color is a bit off, the fact that it was used on the first try shows exceptional talent."

Not only is he completely unafraid of spirits, but he can remain as steady as a mountain when encountering spirits of any shape, and spirits are also afraid of his super strong physique. Moreover, he can learn high-level spells at lightning speed.

Jiuge secretly admired him, realizing that it wasn't a real dud.

According to existing records, even people with a certain degree of spiritual talent need at least one to one month to begin to develop spiritual hearing and vision, not to mention magic, which may take several years.

"Try the defensive barrier again. It's like a protective shield. If used well, it can even reflect the enemy's attacks back."

After saying that, she drew a circle on the ground with her finger.

As they raised their arms, a circular, transparent dome appeared around them.

"receive".

The transparent cover disappeared.

An Chen calmly took a sip of tea, picked up the peach wood, and drew a small circle on the ground.

As the last stroke was completed, an oval-shaped transparent dome appeared.

"?"

Although it's not perfectly round, it's still a high-level spell.

How did he manage to do it on the first try?

Jiuge blinked, somewhat confused about the situation.

Chapter 8 is on the agenda

Then, the two tried the soul barrier.

The result was the same; although the shape wasn't very nice, it could still be used in one go and was effective.

At this point, Jiu Ge's gaze towards An Chen began to change.

"You really didn't know anything before?"

"Yes, that's right." An Chen's expression was indifferent, as if he couldn't understand why Jiu Ge would ask such a question.

"..."

Seeing Jiu Ge's puzzled expression, An Chen said, "How about demonstrating something else?"

"No, your body won't be able to handle trying too many things in one day."

After thinking it over, Jiuge rejected the suggestion.

If An Chen were to learn too many skills at once, expending too much mental energy, he would probably be bedridden for a week afterward.

“In that case, let’s move forward the first important task.” Looking at An Chen, Jiu Ge thought for a moment and said this.

“Your talent is very high, so there’s no need to worry about any problems that might arise that I can’t solve along the way. We can directly carry out high-difficulty missions.” For some reason, hearing Jiuge say this gave An Chen a bad feeling.

And soon, his intuition proved correct.

“Tonight, let’s go find that suspicious genius together. No matter who he is, at least we should catch him first. If he’s a good person, we can apologize. But if he’s a bad guy, that would be troublesome.”

As she spoke, Jiuge tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, revealing her imposing aura once again.

"tonight?"

"Correct."

Jiuge pointed to the 'Fate' on the table and began to teach An Chen how to use the crystal.

"When doing a mission, you only need to inject spiritual power into it, and it can be used as a dagger to damage spirits, or as a peach wood branch to set up formations and cast spells."
