A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 443 Advancement Legend

"Tell me, what exactly is your relationship with Jiang Shuzhou!"

Grace was clearly not buying Jiang Shuzhou's sophistry.

Soul fluctuations, especially those of a true spirit, cannot be faked, not even by deities. After all, the laws of the soul explicitly endow every living being with uniqueness; this is the underlying logic of the laws, and even deities cannot defy it.

However, high-level transcendents can only confirm this with mental energy fluctuations, and often only those who have mastered the laws of the soul can sense soul fluctuations.

Clearly, as a veteran legend, Grace naturally possessed the laws of the soul, or rather, almost all mages possessed the laws of the soul to some extent.

Of course, not being able to fake it doesn't mean he can't hide it. Jiang Shuzhou was trying to prevent Grace from noticing that something was wrong with him.

After all, they had spent seven years together day and night, and he had also regained his strength. So it was only natural that Grace had long remembered Jiang Shuzhou's soul fluctuations.

"You won't tell me?"

Looking at the silent Jiang Shuzhou, Grace already knew the answer in her heart.

"Now, I command you to pierce my heart with a sharp blade."

Jiang Shuzhou simply stopped acting. Having come to this point, after several serious injuries, his humanity had now taken over.

However, there was still one step left to take, and that was when Grace had to get to work.

When Grace heard Jiang Shuzhou's words, and when she found herself inexplicably raising a blade beyond her control, her suspicions were confirmed.

The guy in front of me is the master I've been thinking about day and night.

"You...I won't hurt Master."

Grace resisted the power of the contract with all her might, even bleeding from the corner of her mouth and being injured.

"Execute the orders. And remember, I will not die. This is just the beginning."

Although Grace was in some pain, Jiang Shuzhou was more concerned about his own promotion than her.

You can coax the woman later; this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for promotion, so don't waste it.

As the saying goes, "One must love the country before loving the beauty," Jiang Shuzhou prefers improving his own strength to romantic relationships.

Of course, Grace, as a legendary mage, was a good match for Jiang Shuzhou, so Jiang Shuzhou did not reject her.

However, all of this will have to wait until he is promoted.

Seeing the determination in Jiang Shuzhou's eyes, Grace no longer resisted and shakily raised the blade.

"Master, if you don't come back, I'll go look for you. If I can't find you, I'll kill myself!"

"..."

"No way. Although I am handsome, what you're saying makes it sound like I'm some kind of vixen who has you completely infatuated with me and is willing to die for me."

"By the way, you're kidding, right?"

Looking at Grace's determined gaze, Jiang Shuzhou felt a little less confident.

"Is it right?"

"you guess."

What awaited Jiang Shuzhou was a single sentence from Grace and a sharp blade piercing his chest.

Ouch, this child, doesn't he know to be gentle?

Then, Jiang Shuzhou's consciousness went dark.

However, this only lasted for a moment.

There was complete silence and emptiness all around.

It is said that the world was born from a fire, an eternally burning flame.

Now, the flame appeared in an instant.

It was a mass of silver, yet it possessed a dreamlike quality, with some iridescent flames.

Without a doubt, that was the fire of Jiang Shuzhou's soul.

After the three gods perished, humanity returned, and Jiang Shuzhou's soul fire changed from its original golden color to a dreamlike silver.

Perhaps this is the legendary iridescent silver.

As our understanding of the laws deepened, countless laws began to tremble.

This means that even the laws of nature are celebrating the birth of a new legend.

Of course, it should actually be described as trembling. After all, Jiang Shuzhou is not a god, but as soon as he advanced, he had already reached the level of a demigod or even approached the level of control over the laws of a weak god, which can be considered quite powerful.

In just a little while, Jiang Shuzhou will be able to reach the level of a weak god, reaching the limit of all mages.

Meanwhile, in the outside world.

Grace stared blankly at Jiang Shuzhou.

She killed her master.

But Master said he would be resurrected.

Grace just stared blankly at it.

Soon, the anomaly occurred.

Countless laws coalesced into fine threads, and a dreamlike curtain was drawn back, enveloping Jiang Shuzhou and Grace together, forming a giant cocoon.

Grace was initially rejected, but along the way, these fine threads made of laws seemed to receive some kind of command and wrapped Grace up as well.

In Grace's arms, the corpse of Jiang Shuzhou, which she was holding, turned into dreamlike specks of light and gradually disappeared. Then, in the center of the cocoon, a new body condensed.

His body was even more perfect, and his appearance was incomparably handsome, enough to topple kingdoms and cities. This was not a metaphor but the truth. With Jiang Shuzhou's current looks, he could be said to be unconsciously releasing charm at all times.

If he doesn't restrain himself, then as soon as he sees Jiang Shuzhou's face, whether it's a photo or something else, anyone with weak willpower will be instantly captivated and driven completely mad by him.

Seeing Jiang Shuzhou's face, Grace showed no reaction whatsoever. On one hand, she was determined, and on the other hand, she had already made up her mind about Jiang Shuzhou.

Now, her only thought is...

Why is this person's face prettier than mine?

It can only be said that Grace still suffered from not being able to advance to Legendary status in her dreams.

Jiang Shuzhou's ascension to legendary status in his dream meant he was now officially registered in the dream world, making him a semi-native of the dream realm, and naturally granting him some extraordinary abilities.

Jiang Shuzhou woke up quickly.

"Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"

Jiang Shuzhou looked at Grace and said.

"..."

Grace curled up and began to sob.

"My family, my master, my enemy, the one I love, and the one I want to kill are all the same person..."

Soon, Grace began to sob, her voice so heartbreaking that it brought tears to the eyes of all who heard it.

"Uh, well, I didn't mean to."

Jiang Shuzhou had never learned how to coax women, mainly because he thought it was unnecessary. After all, he had already studied psychology, so why should he learn how to coax people?

Just take strict control of her.

However, it was indeed Jiang Shuzhou who acted unfairly towards Grace, tormenting her for several years.

"Jiang Shuzhou, you bastard!"

After saying that, Grace stopped talking, curled up in a ball again, and started sobbing.

Faced with this, Jiang Shuzhou could only try to comfort her and walked over to Grace's side.

Then, he was tackled by Grace.

"You've fallen into a trap!"
