Magic High School.

Chapter 232 What does it mean that there can be a fourth lion in the pupil?

“Fine…” Li Ge almost couldn’t hold back his laughter at Valerie’s reply.

However, seeing that they were playing with the chibi pony, Li Ge didn't intend to disturb it any further. It seemed that the little thing had basic intelligence, although it wasn't particularly intelligent, but at least at the level of a cat.

What if you push it too far and it starts hissing and then explodes?

Despite being full of tricks, Li Ge's biggest fear is being killed before he's prepared. Given time to prepare, he can unleash power far exceeding his current strength, although he usually does it by scheming.

However, in the event of a sudden encounter, his various skills may become useless, leaving him no choice but to hastily transform into his masked armor form and fight with others.

Therefore, Li Ge often tests others' abilities in skirmishes and quickly retreats after seeing information and data with his own eyes, only to return for a rematch after preparing something to counter them.

It can also be understood that Li Ge's tactics are more like a humanoid demon Void Demon. He will likely be defeated in the first encounter, but as long as he can retreat smoothly, he can adapt to you the second time, and even the third time he can completely adapt to your presence and thoroughly find your weaknesses.

Unless you have no weaknesses.

Of course, Li Ge also had a lot of problems. He was killed in one round by the other party and was caught off guard before he could even adjust.

However, Li Ge was also taken aback.

Wait a minute, aren't people with high talent in a particular field supposed to be mentally unstable? He doesn't think Valerie fits that description at all.

After all, Valerie is a typical naive and innocent girl. She eats and sleeps all day long, without a care in the world or a single worry. Whenever she fights, she rushes in to take damage with a cold face. After feeling a little pressure, she rushes out her big and small horses to fight the opponent.

After that, all I could do was stand there drooling.

Could this person's brain really be so mad as to have a domain talent on par with Abaddon? Li Ge was rather skeptical.

Abaddon is a madman who understands himself, while Li Ge has discovered that he is likely a madman because of his past life memories, and is somewhat related to the innate abstract holy body, belonging to the typical internet sugar man.

Xiaoye is most likely due to the chaotic mental network of Luanpoye. Not only Xiaoye, but Lige even discovered that her sisters were also born with a lot of abstract and crazy traits.

On the contrary, Yi Lian, whom Li Ge had always thought might be crazy, seemed to have almost no talent in the field, while Valerie's talent completely exceeded his expectations.

Okay, maybe Yilian really is a normal person, while we little sugar people are the abnormal ones.

In short, after playing around for a while, Li Ge casually took two peaches from Xiao Ye and Valerie's yard and then prepared to go to the forging department to repair his masked armor.

Perhaps I also want to go and see how Yilian is doing. After all, Yilian is still a half-meter-tall little boy. Although he is a water person, losing most of his body is probably not a minor thing.

Meanwhile, Yi Lian was in the medical department.

"You elemental spirits are truly amazing. Even with less than a quarter of your body remaining, you can still move around normally? And even seem completely unaffected?" The doctor in the medical department was utterly astonished.

However, they quickly came up with a solution.

Yi Lian cannot be restored through cell cloning, and it's hard to say whether he still has "cells" in his body. However, the school's treasure vault contains a treasure similar to copying and printing, so they can temporarily copy several copies of Yi Lian's body and then complete the fusion.

After a long time, Yilian finally completed the repair of her body. She felt that her savings, which she had made by selling Setu, were completely depleted.

With his last bit of points, he needed to repair his God Hand. There was no other way; the God Hand was just too useful. Although it needed to warm up, losing the God Hand would cause his strength to plummet.

In particular, with his friends gradually mastering their domains while he himself seems to be a long way off, he needs this God's Hand as his trump card even more.

With his six Noble Phantasms, he is capable of fighting against opponents of a higher level. Although he can only maintain this for about ten minutes, he can hold off even enemies at the near-fourth rank during that time.

But without the Hand of God, he's just a maggot...

"Sigh..." In short, Yi Lian sighed. He never expected that he, who was the strongest among his friends when he entered school, would now be at the bottom, only slightly stronger than the self-destructing truck Valerie.

After her body gradually recovered, for some reason, Yilian always felt a little cold.

The doctor also advised him not to overuse his psionic powers recently, and not to attempt any intense battles, at least until his body had fully integrated and adapted to him.

Maybe so. I might be pulled further away, and then I might really be the most worthless person in the team.

Just as he was feeling agitated, Yi Lian shivered again. He tightened his coat and asked in confusion, "Isn't it summer right now?"

However, what he didn't notice was that a chill gradually crept up the area behind him as he walked.

This might be the last gift that senior and ancestor left him, a treasure called "Liquid Ice".

Li Ge left the forging department excitedly. He had already repaired his belt and spent money to upgrade it completely!

His masked armor was originally derived from a special insectoid exoskeleton, but this time, after spending money, Li Ge upgraded it to the highest-level exoskeleton armor among that insectoid race.

In that instant, he had spent almost all the money he earned from selling Sertu, and even his recent mission wages had been used to pay for it.

However, the results are encouraging, because the material of his masked armor exoskeleton has been changed to the shell of the Ohmu, which is lighter and has increased its defense several times over. At the same time, he no longer needs to wait for the 24-hour psionic thread transmission, and can use the thread transmission once every six hours, and can store up to four times.

The only problem was that the old dwarf became even more worried, saying, "After all, this material was taken from the swarm that was once a cosmic catastrophe. You should be careful not to be devoured in the end."

"Especially the silk thread teleportation, don't use it too much after you've exceeded the limit, or I'm afraid your armor will come to life and try to eat you instead."

Li Ge, however, said, "I don't want to use a belt without paying a price," and then left happily under the old dwarf's speechless gaze.

"Sigh, these young people nowadays..." the old dwarf sighed. He actually wanted to say a few more words, but he didn't expect Li Ge to run away so fast.

Soon Yi Lian arrived and asked, "Old man, could you please forge another Hand of God..."

Li Ge was very excited after leaving the forging department. Usually, he would go to the virtual arena to try and get points from others. He was the arena's lucky charm, there to create points. No one who wanted to rank up could escape him.

However, he gradually lost interest. After all, Li Ge realized that there was already a pitiful thick barrier between him and his peers. After all, once he mastered the domain, as long as he released it, not to mention his peers, even the senior students in the Execution Department who had not yet entered the domain would suffer.

As for the fairy Daphne? She's just a defeated opponent. Li Ge no longer bothers to try and get her ranking. He's already an intern and probably doesn't even have a ranking among his peers anymore. Let that fairy be the top freshman; he doesn't need that title anymore.

He is now one of only three domain magic users in the entire school!

Unlike Valerie, who boasts that "I think I am," he is a proper domain sorcerer, and his domain can be fully projected outwards.

To put it simply, if any of the senior students in the Executive Department are geniuses and reach the initial stage of their domain, they can happily engage in elbow strike battles with Li Ge within Li Ge's domain.

If one is only at the beginner level, then one can only grit one's teeth and persevere in the Red Stone Domain.

If a senior student hasn't even entered the field, then he will only be fed a huge chunk of Red Stone Domain in one go, and then wait to die on the spot.

Unless his spirit and soul are as resilient as Senior Karl's, a ruthless person who sealed the goddess for thousands of years with just a promise.

"Sigh, he actually wants to go on another mission. Looks like I really am a liar, I can't be happy unless I'm courting death." Li Ge said some nonsense. His injuries hadn't healed yet, and his kidneys were still extremely weak, but he was already thinking about courting death again.

It seems he hasn't been beaten enough.

Just as he was happily humming a song and striding confidently toward the mysterious academy...

Passing by a full-length mirror, Li Ge boldly tossed his hair. Even with a mask on, he wanted to see how different he was now compared to the naive person he was when he first came to school.

However, at that moment, Li Ge was stunned.

To his astonishment, he discovered that a fourth lion's phantom had appeared in his pupils. Unlike the third lion, which lingered for a long time before emerging, this lion was already almost fully revealed, as if it was just one step away from being completely unveiled.

My eyes can actually evolve?

Li Ge had always thought that his Lion's Eye had reached its limit after evolving three times and producing a third flamboyant lion. After all, his Noble Phantasm had evolved to the genuine version, and it would become increasingly difficult to go any further.

But now, the eyes have evolved again!

He stared intently at the fourth lion, but the fourth lion seemed to be looking back at him, its pupils seemingly reflecting a useless version of itself.

At this moment, Li Ge even learned the real name of the fourth lion!

What a useless lion!

In this way, his pupils now contained images of the ugly lion, the gossipy lion, the showy lion, and the useless lion. At that moment, as if some kind of enlightenment had suddenly appeared in his mind.

The next instant, the useless lion appeared completely in Li Ge's pupils as if by natural flow.

To his even greater surprise, the lion was wearing a Crazy Thursday paper bag on its head...

Then, the corresponding message pops up in the system.

Chapter 233 A shocking revelation from within the Cult of Order!

[Optional Branch 1: The King's Golden Eyes (Noble Phantasm)]

The King's Golden Eyes (can be fully integrated into the Lion's Eyes): Your golden eyes will never go out, and you cannot turn them off. At the same time, anyone who dares to look directly at you will have their retinas burned by your golden eyes, and it can even burn the retinas of enemies of higher ranks.

Cost: Your golden eyes will never close.

Note: Wang Bu Huo, Wang Bu Yi, Wang Bu Qu, Wang Bu Yang Cheng, Wang Bu Qi Fu!

[Option 2: Noble Phantasm: Imperial Conquest]

Imperial Sign (can be fully integrated into Lion's Eye): Your pupils will solidify into golden yellow, and the whites of your eyes will solidify into purple. At the same time, when you wear yellow and purple clothing, after activating Golden Eye, you will recover one percent of your lost spiritual energy and mental power per second.

Cost: When you don't have yellow and purple items, your psionic energy consumption will increase significantly.

Note: Yellow and purple were once the representative colors of emperors. As the heir to the Golden Emperor, only by wearing a yellow and purple color scheme could one possess the aura of an emperor!

Option 3: Noble Phantasm - Bronze Eye

Bronze Eyes (can be fully integrated into Lion's Eyes): When you activate Golden Eyes, enemies you gaze upon will gradually turn bronze. The effect increases with the duration of the gaze. You can also use this on yourself to turn yourself bronze, increasing your strength and defense.

Cost: If one continues to bronze oneself for an extended period, it will cause irreversible gradual bronzeification of the body, resulting in the loss of a physical body.

Note: Bronze was once a symbol of imperial power!

Looking at the three branches of the treasure upgrade, Li Ge couldn't help but start breathing rapidly.

But surprisingly, all three of my Noble Phantasm upgrade branches are related to the Emperor?

Never mind that, he immediately started picking.

The first to give up was the ever-burning Golden Eye. The Lion's Eye could never be turned off, and the price was simply outrageous. The Golden Eye burned spiritual energy even when it was on, and he didn't want to become like some other 50/50 player. Besides, when it was on, it was like a high beam, making him the biggest third wheel at night.

As for the Bronze Eye, he thought about it and decided to give up on it. After all, his Lion Eye had another ability, the Hypnotic Eye, which could gradually accumulate hypnotic progress as long as he made eye contact. Having the Bronze Eye would create a conflict between the two abilities.

In the end, he chose the yellow and purple combination!

It restores one percent of the lost spiritual energy and mental power every second, which means that Li Ge will no longer be so short of mana, no longer be so weak that he has no mana left. He can even keep his domain active and keep elbowing Xiao Ye until dawn!

Of course, Xiaoye is now able to expand her domain, so she doesn't need Li Ge to keep expanding her domain and putting pressure on her anymore. But who has the dream next? He can accompany you to expand your domain several times in a row. It's just a matter of who can't take it anymore.

As for the cost of the yellow and purple color scheme, it only activates when there is no yellow and purple color scheme on his body. But after he evolves, aren't his pupils already yellow and purple? Isn't this cost practically negligible?

The next instant, although Li Ge's pupils were still a dazzling golden color, the whites of his eyes gradually turned purple.

He checked his own energy consumption, and as he expected, the spiritual energy consumption had not increased! In other words, as long as he didn't become twice as powerful as Xiahou, he didn't need to worry about this cost affecting him.

As for the consequences of becoming a double Xiahou, he would lose his eyes, and by then he would probably be about to die, so the consequences would be negligible for him.

This almost constant psionic energy regeneration, simply put, means that Li Ge has a near-constant blue buff.

Although his ability to consume a lot of mana seems to be limited to just one thing: expanding his domain.

But it doesn't matter, who would complain about having too much blue?
