Chapter 39: Asuro’s Compensation

Asuro searched through Hughes’ memories. She even knew about the bed-wetting incident when he was young.

However, she did not find any information related to the cheating in the exam.

The unwilling Asuro quickly and violently pushed her own spiritual power.

Boundless spiritual power was transmitted into Hughes’ body through her fingers.

“This kid was so hesitant just now. He must have cast some kind of magic on himself. As long as I find traces of magic, it would be easy for me to break his magic with my strength.”

Asuro affirmed herself in her mind while she increased her efforts to search for the traces of magic in Hughes’ body.

She searched for a long time and was so tired that her forehead was covered in sweat. Her forehead was also emitting a needle-like pain because she had exhausted too much spiritual power.

But even so, she did not find any trace of magic in Hughes’ body.

Asuro was still unwilling to give up. Although her belief had been shaken, she still decided to continue searching.

This time, she was searching for Hughes’ memories.

In the ancient legends, there was a way for people to cut off part of their memories without using any magic.

Although Asuro did not know this method herself, in her subconscious mind, she thought that Hughes knew this method.

This time, she searched particularly carefully, not missing even the slightest detail.

But after searching for a long time, she still did not find the tearing feeling that she was looking forward to.

Hughes’s memory was complete as one.

There was not a single flaw, nor was there any trace of splicing.

Asuro withdrew her spell tiredly, and her heart was instantly filled with disappointment.

At this moment, a thought exploded in her mind.

Wasn’t I going to take Hughes as my disciple? Wasn’t it a good thing that he did not cheat?

Asuro laughed crazily as the thought came into her mind!

But not long after, the laughter stopped abruptly.

Bang!

Hughes’ eyes turned white, and he fell straight to the ground. His body kept twitching, and white foam gushed out of his mouth.

“F*ck! I used too much power!”

Asuro slapped her forehead in frustration. She remembered the scene where she crazily injected her own spiritual power into Hughes’ mind in order to search through Hughes’ memories.

Now, there were two spiritual powers in Hughes’ mind.

One was his own, and the other was much more powerful. It was Asuro’s.

The battle between spiritual powers had always been straightforward. Whether it was in terms of quality or quantity, Hughes’ spiritual power was no match for Asuro’s.

“Forget it, you’re lucky. This spiritual power will be your compensation.”

Asuro took out a bottle of magic potion and removed the black cap on the bottle.

“I only have one bottle of this potion left, but it’s not a disgrace to use it on you.”

Asuro reached out to open Hughes’ mouth and poured the bottle of black potion into Hughes’ mouth.

Then, she stepped on the ground and four magic patterns of red, blue, green, and yellow extended from the bottom of her feet to the end of the forest.

A rough elemental baptism array was formed.

Then, Asuro stretched out her hand and touched Hughes’ glabella. Her spiritual power was connected to Hughes’ spiritual power.

Five pitch-black anti-magic stones circled around Hughes’ glabella. After spinning a few times, they turned into a black light and drilled into the depths of Hughes’ glabella.

In the next moment, the four violent basic elements gathered crazily.

Under the guidance of Asuro’s powerful control, they drilled into Hughes’ body.

As soon as they entered Hughes’ body, these elements, which could still be quantified, turned into rabid dogs, crazily destroying Hughes’ body.

“Suppress!”

Asuro shouted, and the disorderly elements in Hughes’ body quieted down.

Not only did they not cause trouble in Hughes ‘body, but they instead obediently followed the trajectory of the anti-magic stone training method and began to refine themselves.

During this process, beads of sweat the size of soybeans fell from Asuro’s forehead to the ground.

The intense consumption of mental energy caused Asuro’s brain to emit waves of unbearable pain as if it had been pierced by a silver needle.

Asuro was still holding on. Once she stopped, the unconscious Hughes would be destroyed by the violent elemental energy.

…

After more than ten minutes, the violent elemental storm finally stopped, and the aura on Hughes’s body also expanded by dozens of times.

“I’ve doubled your elemental baptism. Your current magic power is already 16 times that of an ordinary tier 4 Mage.”

“This can be considered compensation for you. But you’d better be grateful. After you pass the exam, you’d better take me as your master voluntarily.”

Asuro’s face was pale. She reached her right hand under her neck and said fiercely to Hughes, who was still sleeping:

“Or I’ll kill you!”

Unlike the sincere threat before, this time, the threat was not only less vicious, but also shyer.

After saying these words, Asuro raised her palm, channelled her spiritual power, and slapped Hughes’ face.

After passing through the skin on Hughes’ face and entering Hughes’ mind, her spiritual power turned into sharp steel needles, instantly waking Hughes up from his deep sleep.

Hughes, who had just woken up, looked around blankly. The intense pain in his head reminded him that what had happened was not an illusion, but real.

“I admit that you really have nothing to do with cheating. I have already given you compensation. I think you should be able to sense the changes that have occurred in your body.”

Asuro said coldly without even looking at Hughes.

Upon hearing Asuro’s reminder, Hughes subconsciously used his spiritual power to check his body.

Hughes almost jumped up with excitement.

Fortunately, Hughes was a man who had lived two lifetimes. His self-control was amazing. In the end, he did not lose face in front of Asuro.

Hughes’s current magic power was already 32 times that of his third-tier magic power. Compared to an ordinary fourth-tier mage, his total magic power was 16 times that of his opponent.

This meant that Hughes had already crossed the barrier between third-tier and fourth-tier, and became a real fourth-tier mage.

His magic power had soared. Where were the anti-magic stones?

Hughes subconsciously put his spiritual power into his body and checked the location of the anti-magic core.

The anti-magic core in his body was still a full circle larger than before. He estimated that it was exactly the amount of four anti-magic stones.

Hughes looked at Asuro gratefully and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

However, Asuro, who was standing coldly at the side, did not appreciate the kindness and said coldly.

“The second exam is about to begin. I will take you there now.”
