The location of Luo City was about N34°37′9.01′′, E112°26′50.37′′. Lu Shu calculated the most desirable direction in which the Seal of Lands should expand. Then he realized, to his dismay, that the city was located right in the center of the country and it was far from any national border…

So how? It would take ages to expand it overseas!

Despite Nie Ting’s warning, Lu Shu believed that his ultimate intention was benign. Indeed, he was looking for the root cause of the mutation, and this required multiple trials and errors. It was impossible to forbid him any mistakes in the process!

It’s okay! Not a big deal!

Then, he continued to ponder about any possible way to accelerate the expansion. Once again he climbed up the sky ladder of the Seal of Lands in an attempt to control the expansion accurately provided the good view. And it turned out to be viable too.

The original boundary of the Seal of Lands was irregular. It had a ten-meter wide tentacle reaching into the north… which looked rather creepy…

On the downside, the accurate control of expansion required tremendous amount of celestial powers.

By nightfall, Lu Shu’s celestial powers had been sufficiently restored. Then, he pushed the border by another 50km while maintaining enough Spirit Qi for himself…

Honestly speaking, the effect was not quite up to his expectation. It would definitely be more efficient if he could expand the area pieces by pieces like earlier. But Lu Shu did not care!

At the moment, Lu Shu was drenched in sweat. It was much more tiring than the day before. Lu Shu realized that he had used a couple of hours to accomplish what was done very fast previously.

On the other hand, Chen Zuan and the rest noticed that Lu Shu would go home after a short visit to the lab each day. No one knew what he was doing.

“Brother Shu, did you manage to get us a teacher?” Chen Zuan blocked Lu Shu as he was about to go home.

“Don’t worry,” said Lu Shu causally, “It’s not urgent. I have something more important to do!”

With that, Lu Shu left again…

Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao exchanged a look of concern. “What happened to Brother Shu? Why does he look so excited? Is he sick?”

Then, Cheng Qiuqiao asked Lu Xiaoyu, “What’s wrong with him?”

But Lu Xiaoyu ignored him completely. Same as the rest, Lu Xiaoyu was also concerned about Lu Shu’s unusual behavior recently. In the past few days, he had not been singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star at all…

“Could it be that he has run into some trouble? And he doesn’t want us to be worried?” Cheng Qiuqiao asked, adding an imagined, touching trait to Lu Shu’s personality…

Chen Zuan let out a cold laugh. “Do you really think he’s that kind of person?”

“Why don’t we follow him and take a look? It’s pretty scary if he goes on like this! We have to at least figure out what he’s busy with,” said Cheng Qiuqiao.

By then, Lu Shu had remained in that state for almost two weeks. It was abnormal!

…

Back at home, Lu Shu took out his Seal of Lands. He was already reaching his destination. In fact, there was nothing much he could do in a ten-meter-wide stretch of land as each city was much larger than that. But Lu Shu had his own plan.

He gazed at the borders with full anticipation. There was only 50km left!

In his magical instincts, the vast land was gray, except for a colorful thread extending all the way to the north.

The thread went past mountains and rivers. Lu Shu noticed a benefit of his expansion strategy, that it allowed his magical instincts to survey the surface conditions within the boundaries.

In other words, he could be transported to anywhere within the borders with the Seal of Lands in his hands.

It felt like… he was exploring new territories in a game, and that he was clearing the mists in the atlas…

Suddenly, intense exhilaration burned in Lu Shu’s eyes. The border… had finally reached the Liuhai Lane, all the way into Nie Ting and Shi Xuejin’s courtyard…

No sooner when Chen Zuan and the rest reached Lu Shu’s doorstep than they heard his frenzied laughter from his room. “HAHAHAHA, IT’S KARMA!”

That made Chen Zuan’s and Cheng Qiuqiao’s flesh creep. “What the hell? What’s happening to Brother Shu? Like I said, he’s sick! What should we do?!”

To Chen Zuan, Lu Shu was a powerful figure to cozy up to. Now that Lu Shu was his classmate, it was a perfect opportunity for him to do so. But why had he gone crazy at this moment…

In Lu Shu’s opinion, the ten-meter wide control range was not that useful. An effective search range required at least a few tens of kilometers. What could he find in merely ten meters?

But it would be a different case if he had an end in mind…

Now it was time!

Lu Shu extended the border right into the courtyard. From there he planned to create a circle with the courtyard as its center. But then he realized that the expansion was more laborious than pushing outward the borders due to the distance.

It was fine, though, as he only needed 500 square meters!

With his magical instincts in the sky, drops of sweat slid down Lu Shu’s physical face. Suddenly, he clenched his teeth and let out a loud roar. In the next instant, the entire Liuhai Lane was covered in his control range. Lu Shu laughed wildly at Shi Xuejin and Nie Ting, who was about to read the files handed over by Hao Zhichao beside him.

As Nie Ting flipped through the documents, he suddenly gazed into the sky, knitting his brows together. Currently, Nie Ting was only one step away from the breakthrough of Class A. Thus, he had sensed something unusual when Lu Shu looked at him from the sky. But he saw nothing!

Then, Hao Zhichao exclaimed in surprise, “The Spirit Qi is all gone…”

“From Nie Ting’s distress, +666!”

Lu Shu had spent two weeks just for this moment! At that instant, he felt so relieved. He would have a guilty conscience tricking other people, but not Nie Ting.

As the saying went, you would feel more aggrieved if you were wronged and swallowed the unfairness yourself. And he, Lu Shu, was a vengeful person!

At this moment, Nie Ting yelled coldly at the invisible existence in the sky, “Lu Shu!”

Then came the slash!

Lu Shu shuddered in shock as Nie Ting called his name. Then, his consciousness returned to his physical form at once. In the next instant, he heard the frenzied knocking on his door…

“From Nie Ting’s distress, +999!”
