"If it's him, it's not surprising either," Mu Nujiao said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Mian asked, confused.
"Hehe, it means that the person Mu Nujiao fancies is naturally extraordinary," Ai Tutu said with a laugh.
Xiao Mian was too shocked to speak, staring blankly at Mu Nujiao.
As the eldest young lady of the Mu Family, Mu Nujiao's admirers could build a Mingzhu Tower if they all gathered.
Even the young masters from aristocratic families among them couldn't catch Mu Nujiao's eye, yet now she has someone she secretly fancies?
"Tutu, don't talk nonsense!" Mu Nujiao frowned and scolded.
"Mu Nujiao, we've known each other since we were kids, how could I not see through your little thoughts? If you like someone, just say it. It just so happens we can give you some ideas," Ai Tutu said.
This time, Mu Nujiao didn't scold Ai Tutu. After pondering Ai Tutu's words for a few seconds, she pursed her red lips and remained silent.
It's really the person Mu Nujiao secretly fancies... Xiao Mian seemed to have discovered some major gossip, her eyes filled with excitement.
If this news were released, it's likely that countless admirers of Mu Nujiao would be heartbroken.
"Congratulations, you awakened the Space Element," Mu Nujiao said first when she saw Cheng Xiao walk over.
"It's alright," Cheng Xiao smiled indifferently.
Originally, it didn't matter to him what element he awakened, but the second element being the same symbiotic dual element as the first made it impossible to be indifferent anymore.
Moreover, he awakened the Space Element and Chaos System, which, when used with the Shadow Element and Undead Element, could produce unexpected effects!
"Even awakening the Space Element as a second element can be so calm, truly worthy of being the person Mu Nujiao fancies," Xiao Mian couldn't help but say.
"That's right, Mu Nujiao's taste can't be bad, much stronger than my spare tires," Ai Tutu nodded in agreement.
"Xiao Mian, Tutu, you two!"
Mu Nujiao was directly sold out by her two friends, her face instantly turning red.
At the same time, she raised her beautiful eyes and glanced at Cheng Xiao with anticipation, noticing that Cheng Xiao's expression also showed a hint of awkwardness.
"Cheng Xiao, since you've awakened a new element, shouldn't we celebrate and you treat us to a meal?" Ai Tutu said, seizing the opportunity.
"No problem, where do you want to eat?"
"Hehe, I know a very popular restaurant nearby."
"..."
Ai Tutu excitedly led Mu Nujiao and the patron for the day to a hot pot restaurant near the Mingzhu Tower.
Eating for free is the best, Ai Tutu knew this well and was ready for a feast!
Cheng Xiao was also very generous, letting Ai Tutu order whatever she wanted without feeling the pinch.
The resources he earned from the commissions he took this year, even if he bought this hot pot restaurant, would at most be a drop in the bucket.
Possessing the powerful Shadow Legion, except for Hunter Master level commissions, Cheng Xiao completed everything with a sweeping attitude, focusing on efficiency!
His Hunter points also increased dramatically. In one year, he was promoted from High-Level Hunter to One-Star Hunter Master.
Relying on this Hunter Master status, he had gained some popularity in Shanghai.
Many old customers who came to the Qing Tian Hunter Agency for commissions would specifically request Cheng Xiao to complete them, even with an added price.
Among the oldest customers was Mu Nujiao, who represented the Mu Family in posting commissions.
In the hot pot restaurant.
Ai Tutu ate without any manners, not caring about anything else besides eating.
The other two, on the other hand, began talking about the Academy's enrollment.
"Mingzhu Academy will start enrolling in a few days, do you need me to introduce you?" Mu Nujiao said.
"Introduce?" Cheng Xiao didn't understand, what kind of operation was this?
"We children of aristocratic families can skip some procedures and directly join the Academy, as long as we meet the standards," Mu Nujiao explained.
"That's not necessary," Cheng Xiao shook his head, "I've already made plans with a friend to go together."
"Is that so."
Mu Nujiao didn't say much more, but she felt regretful in her heart.
If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have let her family introduce her to the Academy, that way she could have applied with Cheng Xiao...
...
After returning home, Cheng Xiao began to study his new elements.
The second element in his spiritual world was the same as the first, the Space Element and Chaos System shared a single star dust, fourteen star points!
Cheng Xiao had previously tested his spiritual power and found it to be at the peak of the second realm, very close to the third realm.
Relying on his spiritual power at the peak of the second realm, Cheng Xiao only took a few hours to master the elementary magic of the Space Element and Chaos System.
In addition, Cheng Xiao also developed two very special skills.
These two special skills undoubtedly appeared because of the inheritance power of the Shadow Monarch.
Shadow Exchange and Invisibility!
Shadow Exchange allows him to swap positions with a Shadow Soldier located far away, regardless of distance, and it consumes no magic energy.
The Invisibility skill is cast using the ability of the Chaos System as a medium, and it also consumes no magic energy.
However, invisibility is not virtualization; although the body and aura are hidden, the body is still substantial.
Original text is being reviewed!
This move can be said to be a divine skill for assassination, but when encountering area-of-effect skills, one still has to avoid them.
It's worth mentioning that these two exclusive skills can be used with others.
The essence of Shadow Exchange is to open a space portal.
Cheng Xiao's shadow is the entrance, and the location of the designated Shadow Soldier is the exit!
To use Invisibility with others, one only needs to place a Chaos Mark on that person, and then activate the Invisibility skill, allowing them to hide together.
Cheng Xiao muttered to himself:
"I thought skills like Shadow Exchange would only be mastered after reaching a certain level of cultivation.
"Now it seems it was because I hadn't mastered the abilities of the Space Element that I hadn't mastered Shadow Exchange."
This is very significant. The elements awakened in the future might also have similar special skills.
If used well, they are simply divine skills!
Of course, that's something to consider after reaching the Middle-Rank...
...
Soon, the day of Mingzhu Academy's enrollment arrived.
Cheng Xiao and the Mo Family siblings applied to Mingzhu Academy. Coincidentally, all three applied for special enrollment.
Special enrollment is prepared for academies that have some special magic systems.
Cheng Xiao is the Undead Element, Xin Xia is the Healing System, and Mo Fan is the Summoning System.
Black, white, and dimensional elements, excluding elemental magic, have all been gathered.
"Cheng Ge, Xin Xia said you broke through to Middle-Rank, what's your second element?" Mo Fan asked curiously.
Cheng Xiao pushed the wheelchair Ye Xin Xia was sitting in and looked sideways at Mo Fan:
"Didn't Xin Xia tell you?"
"No, that girl insisted that she couldn't tell me without your permission," Mo Fan said sourly.
Ye Xin Xia lowered her head in embarrassment.
Cheng Xiao smiled helplessly and replied:
"It's nothing big, I just awakened the Space Element."
"Just awakened... the Space Element?"
Mo Fan's mouth twitched, speechless at Cheng Xiao's unintentional humblebragging.
It's no wonder Xin Xia didn't tell him in advance, she was specifically waiting for this moment.
