Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 576  Power Of Laws

When he walked out, he saw Rey and Shasha in the distance, casually talking. They also noticed his presence and looked over.

"Good morning, team leader!" Rey ran over and greeted him enthusiastically. Shasha also followed him and nodded in greeting.

Max returned their greetings and asked, "Where is Emily, Durden and those two little guys?"

"Emily is in seclusion while Durden left earlier for a walk with those two." Rey answered.

"Okay." Max nodded and said, "You go and tell Durden we are leaving for the capital in a short while."

Rey nodded, and left, leaving Max and Shasha alone. He noticed Shasha seemed to have something on her mind but was hesitating to speak it out, so he asked, "You want to say something?"

Shasha took a deep breath and nodded, "Yes."

"I don't know if it's appropriate to ask this, but can you give me some of that holy energy?"

"Holy energy?" Max asked, confused. After she told him what she meant by holy energy, he understood she was talking about the Divine energy that seeped out from him when the system upgraded his core.

He could understand why she was tempted to get her hands on some more of the Divine Energy because it was just too miraculous. Emily had told him it had different effects on everyone. After absorbing it, some progressed in their cultivation, some comprehended the technique they weren't able to before, while some, who had incurable diseases, or hidden injuries, had their diseases cured and hidden injury healed. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He was about to tell her he didn't have any, but stopped when a thought flashed in his mind, and looked at her up and down. She had fair and tender skin, an attractive pair of emerald eyes, thin pink lips, a modest bust, curvy figures, a peach shaped ass you want to give a tight squeeze and long legs. Overall, she was very beautiful. Adding in the fact that she was a mature woman, and had a stubborn and aloof personality, she was more than enough to tempt most men, Max included.

Shasha frowned when she noticed him check her out and became uncomfortable, but didn't say anything. Since she needed a favor, she knew she couldn't show any dissatisfaction. Besides, she already knew he wouldn't give something so precious like the Divine Energy without reason, so she was ready to pay whatever price she had to pay.

After checking her out, he calmly asked, "Why do you need it?"

Shasha's eyes brightened when she heard this. This meant he wasn't opposed to giving it to her. Suppressing her excitement, she answered calmly, "A few years ago, I was badly injured in a battle, and almost lost my life. Even though I ultimately survived, and most of my injuries healed, the injuries to my mana core and mana channels couldn't be healed."

"I've searched for the cure for many years, but… couldn't find any. Because of my injured mana core and channels, I couldn't make any progress in my cultivation, and had to do everything I could to stop my cultivation from regressing."

At this point, she took a deep breath, and said, "However, when I absorbed that holy energy you gave off, my mana core completely recovered. Now, only my mana pathways remain injured. If I could get some more of the Holy Energy, I could heal them too, and then I would be able to try breaking through to the five-star realm."

Upon hearing her, Max nodded. Her case was just like his father, Ashton,. But when he heard her last sentence, he frowned and asked, "Five-star? Aren't you an early-stage four-star? How would you try breaking through to the five-star?"

Shasha didn't answer and lowered her, hesitating. Max grew surprised when he noticed her hesitation. It seemed she wasn't just saying it for the saying sake, but was really confident she could break through to the five-star once her mana channels healed. But how? The gap between early-star four-star and five-star was just too big. She would need at least a few months if not years of continuous cultivation just to touch the realm boundary to four-star.

'It seems she also has some secret.' Max thought to himself, and was tempted to know, but suppressed the impulse, and said, "It's alright if you don't want to say."

Saying this, he turned around and started walking toward the house where Emily was.

Seeing this, Shasha became anxious and called out. "Wait!"

A small, victorious smile appeared on his face before immediately disappearing. He then walked back to her, and waited for her answer.

Shasha took a deep breath, stared into his eyes with a serious expression on her face, and said, "I'm confident to break through to the five-star realm because… I've comprehended an elemental law."

"Huh?" Max looked at her with a confused look on his face. Comprehended an elemental law? He didn't know what that meant and how it could help her bridge the gap between early-stage four-star to five-star realm.

Shasha raised her brows when she noticed his confusion, "You don't know what an elemental law is?"

Max felt he was being looked down upon and felt embarrassed, but he really didn't know. Most of what he knew was from some books, the system and the people around him.

Coughing lightly, he said, "Ahem! I don't know. How about you explain it to me?"

Shasha thought for a moment before saying, "When someone asked Lord Raku, he said this, A law… is some kind of abstract but powerful force or an all encompassing rule. But from what I understand, it is a higher level of control."

"For example, if a normal person has awakened the fire element affinity. But he can control or manipulate the fire only through his magic spells, and can't do it on his own. Even if he can, it will be too basic, like lighting the fire. But if he can comprehend the Fire Law, he would command a superior control and manipulate it according to his wish. He could use it without magic spells, while his magic spells would become one or several fold stronger according to the level of his understanding of the law."

After saying this, she raised her hand and pointed at a broken wall in the distance. Wind elemental mana gathered and condensed at her fingertip. It then shot out at the wall, and,

Bang!

Created a fist size hole on it.

Witnessing this scene, a surprised look appeared on his face because from the moment she raised a hand to the moment the hole was created in the wall, only less than a second had passed. He knew even someone with a high level of control over his mana would take slightly more time to do the same. Besides, he would need a high level of focus too. Shasha, however, didn't focus too much. She was as casual and relaxed as one could be, and didn't even seem to actively control her mana. It moved on its own. Of course, he knew it was an illusion, but still, this was an incredible feat, and wasn't any different than Instant cast. He knew very well how extraordinary and useful the ability to Instant cast was. It could help you fight and kill foes stronger than you, like he did with his Caladius Brachium with the system's help.
