Chapter 44: Fucked
The people in the ring looked towards the field one after another, with some expectations and some contempt.
The sentry in charge of today's guard glanced at Lu Zhizhi out of the corner of his eye and said to his companion: "What are you testing? It's a day-to-day test. It's weird that it's a guide. We're using superpowers to move this big guy around. I really want to get off work." Ah.”
"It's just a formality, but if you don't have mental power, you will at least have supernatural powers. Otherwise, how are you different from those weak humans in Jiucheng? They have no value at all and will just wait to be protected."

"No, I'm really tired of protecting human beings. I'm forced to do it when I don't have the ability, as if I'm weak and I'm justified."
Several young men from the aristocratic district opened a bet on the spot.
"Come, let's see if that little loser from the Lu family can turn around this time."
"Come on, you can't open this betting market at all. Even if you beat her, she is a weakling with no mental power, no mental body, and no superpowers. Just bet on her."
An aristocratic lady took off her bracelet on the spot and pressed it on the other side. She said in a sweet voice: "I bet Miss Lu has special powers."
This was the young lady who was publicly humiliated by Heffel at the banquet a few days ago. After she finished speaking, she looked in Heffel's direction to ensure that he could hear her voice: "Don't belittle Miss Lu like this."< br>
Several other noble ladies looked confused and asked her: "Della, do you have a fever?"
Della had no fever and was even conscious.
After she was humiliated by Heffel last time, she came back and figured it out. His Highness was not as uncaring about his fiancée as the rumors said. Otherwise, why would he be sarcastic to her in order to protect her? After all, her father is still Sitting at the end of the senate, there is no way you can become enemies.
So Della decided to take a gamble, and if the bet was right, she might be able to win over His Highness Heffel for her father and family.
Seeing that Heffel was actually looking this way, she raised her voice and said, "So what if Miss Lu is an ordinary human being, I support her."
Heffel, who was sitting on the high platform, hummed and raised his hand, and a waiter immediately came forward and bowed his head.
Heffel propped up his chin and whispered a few words to him, and then the waiter led people downstairs to the gaming table and ordered them to place two suitcases on both sides of the gaming table.
Some people were dissatisfied and shouted: "Where did you come from? Have you ever played before? How can anyone be able to do both?"
A young man recognized him as the person next to Heffel. He immediately grabbed the speaker and asked politely: "May I ask what Duke Heffel's orders are?"
The waiter cleared his throat: "His Highness used two boxes of crystal nuclei of level four alien beasts and pressed them on both sides. His Highness said that no matter what Miss Lu's test results are today, she is the fiancée of Duke Heffel."
Everyone present hurriedly agreed, and the person who had just yelled hid in the corner and wiped his sweat. Della was secretly happy, glad that she had made the right bet.
On this side, the person involved, Lu Zhizhi, listened to the precautions explained by the staff on the testing platform, and then touched his hand on the transparent barrier in front of him.
Ever since she came back from the White Tower last time, she had an idea.
Whether it was Lu Yuan's gradually revealed desire for control or the complicated interpersonal network of Shang Sancheng and Heffel, she didn't like it.
So Lu Zhizhi planned to hide his true strength, release only a little mental power, and show his identity as a guide. In this way, she can gain the qualification to enter and exit the White Tower at will, and then get timely information about Li Chenjun and the others from Feng Heng. At least she can be freer and no longer have to rely on Lu Yuan for everything.
As soon as she put it on, the magnetic ball in the center of the instrument began to rotate rapidly.
The huge gear in front of him also rotated, from slow to fast, then to very fast, even causing sparks to appear from the friction.
Everyone held their breath, and the venue suddenly became quiet, waiting for the instrument to display the results——
Mental strength: None.
Powers: None.
Lu Yuan looked at the words on the screen and breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
Saloi smiled proudly, not surprised by the result.
Jia Shi raised his eyebrows first, and then an excited smile appeared on his lips.
Various voices soon sounded in the field——
"Let me tell you, he's just a waste, tsk, a waste of my time."
“Another privileged person to protect, so boring.”
Some people even shouted impatiently at Lu Zhizhi: "Get down quickly, why are you standing there?" Lu Zhizhi looked up at the screen in surprise, and then looked at his hands thoughtfully.
Just now, she clearly released her mental power.
She was about to raise her hand to leave, but suddenly, on the huge electronic screen, the picture that had been stuck on the word 'nothing' at the beginning suddenly moved.
After constantly jumping frames, it soared from C to A, then to S, and finally stopped at S+. During this period, the magnetic ball and gears were still turning, showing no signs of stopping.
Someone in the stands asked: "Is the detector broken?"
Lu Yuan resisted the urge to stand up, not letting himself show any abnormality, and the muscles under his suit were stretched to the extreme.
Heffel had already walked from the chair to the front, holding the railing tightly with his hands, looking nervously at the small figure below.
Saloi suddenly frowned, and his sharp red pupils glanced at the subordinates on the side. The subordinates' faces were full of astonishment, and then they shook their heads at Saloi nervously and innocently.
The mysterious man in black robe sitting beside him leaned forward slightly and watched the situation without saying a word.
The sentries at the headquarters were standing or sitting, looking at the situation on the field with their mouths wide open, and said in surprise: "So what level is this? A? S?"
"It's broken. How can we have a guide these days and have such a high level of spiritual power?"
Jia Shi bit his fingers excitedly in the corner and stared at Lu Zhizhi's back.

‘Bang——’
There was a loud bang.
The high-speed rotating magnetic ball suddenly exploded.
Lu Yuan stood up and activated his power to teleport to Lu Zhizhi, using his back to block the falling debris.
"Brother?"
She raised her head from the man's arms and saw Lu Yuan's serious expression.
"It's okay, let's go home."
Lu Yuan pulled her away quickly, but was stopped by Hu Erxun with quick eyes and hands.
"Lord Lu, the detection equipment suddenly exploded. Everyone must wait for the on-site inspection to be completed before leaving. Please cooperate."
"The test results haven't come out yet, why are you anxious?" A voice suddenly sounded in the field. Lu Zhizhi looked at the source of the voice. It was Kashi.
He didn't know when he had reached the front of the stand, sat on the railing and swung his legs, tilting his head to look at Lu Zhizhi, his low and hoarse voice full of interest.
"You're right, Miss Lu. I'm really curious, what is your mental power level?"
Lu Zhizhi felt that he had bad intentions.
Before he could refute, the voice sounded again: "In order to avoid controversy, I suggest you take the test again."
She looked at Heffel, who was standing on the other side, wondering why he suddenly intervened and made another suggestion.
Lu Zhizhi felt that Lu Yuan's hand holding her suddenly became tighter. His whole body looked very tense, like a beast that was ready to attack at any time.
"I don't think it's necessary. My sister was frightened just now and needs to go home now." Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes and stared at Heffel. The two looked at each other from a distance, neither of them giving in.
A burst of feminine laughter came from the central area of the stands. Lu Zhizhi saw Saloi clasping his hands together and a cross chain tied to his palms. There was no feeling of mercy at all, but a strange coldness.
"Is he just an ordinary human being? Is he worthy of you being so serious? I think Miss Lu is just a poor little person who failed to inherit her talent. Please leave."
When Saloi opened his mouth, Hulson no longer stopped him. Lu Yuan glanced at Saloi cryptically, and immediately wanted to take Lu Zhizhi down to the testing table, but was stopped by the mysterious man in black robe who had been silent.
"Wait a minute——"
The mysterious man snapped his fingers, and the huge broken detector in the field disappeared instantly, and a brand new small detector appeared in everyone's field of vision.
He looked down at Lu Zhizhi with an unfathomable gaze and said, "On behalf of the three elders of the Senate, I order Miss Lu to retest."
