Witch Special

Although she was quite concerned about the change in hair color, Lin Zhenxi soon discovered the convenience that this change brought to her.

There's no way around it. The magic-boosting effect of these hairs is simply... too strong.

Even if the number of magic circuits in her body more than doubled, Lin Zhenxi still only had a few hundred. Even though Lin Zhenxi's magic regeneration and circulation speeds surpassed those of ordinary people due to the interconnected magic circuits, her total magic power still lagged significantly behind those of the Age of Gods. Of course, the strong interference of gaseous magic with reality would significantly increase the power of Lin Zhenxi's elemental magic, and its compressible properties would allow Lin Zhenxi to store more magic power with fewer magic circuits. All of this would allow Lin Zhenxi to close the gap with the Age of Gods magicians, and even surpass them in certain areas.

But playing those fancy tricks and taking shortcuts is not as satisfying as running over them in an upright manner. And now, these purple hairs, which are almost equivalent to magic circuits, give Lin Zhenxi the confidence to do so in an upright manner.

Even if the magic circuit in a strand of hair is very thin, so what? It's because Lin Zhenxi has an astonishing amount of hair. With so many hairs added together, the total number of Lin Zhenxi's magic circuits will reach an appalling level.

Anyway, if we ignore quality and simply compare quantity, we can't find anyone in modern and ancient history who possesses more magic circuits than Lin Zhenxi. Even if we include the even more distant Age of the Gods, Lin Zhenxi can probably compete with those so-called gods.

Isn’t this invincible... Holding a handful of her hair, Lin Zhenxi felt so happy that her heart was bubbling with joy. Even the overly bright colors on her hair seemed extremely cute.

Then again, the teacher's hair was also this color. Could it be that this color was a sign that the magic circuits in the hair had been opened? Lin Zhenxi felt that she might have discovered the truth.

After her excitement wore off, Lin Zhenxi quickly calmed down and faced reality. Even if the transformation of her hair into magic circuits was a pure surprise, she still found it hard to accept going about her daily activities with such vibrant hair. Compared to being the center of attention wherever she went, the most eye-catching handsome man (or woman) in the crowd, she still preferred her original, normal black hair.

At least, he still looks like a normal person. Reality isn't some 2D world where people have all sorts of hair. Normal hair is either black or brown, turning white as they age. Some people might have red or blonde hair, but blue, pink, or purple hair is unheard of unless it's dyed.

Well, green is possible, but that is not natural, but something that was given to him later.

Can it change back... Lin Zhenxi thought carefully about the reason why her hair changed color, and felt that she might still be able to save it.

The hair turns purple because a thin magic circuit appears in the hair, and now these magic circuits are filled with magic. Due to the excessive internal pressure, these magic circuits are in an excited state, causing the elements in the air around the hair to be in an extremely activated state. The colors of all the elements are superimposed together to form a high-frequency light wave. Purple is just a small tail of this light wave remaining in the visible light band. Their main force has actually extended to the invisible light area.

Therefore, as long as Lin Zhenxi takes back the magic power in these magic circuits, they should be able to return to their original state.

However, the magic circuits and magic power are somewhat symbiotic: the magic circuits provide a home for the magic power, while the magic power in turn nourishes the magic circuits, preventing them from aging and dying. Therefore, it's not a good idea to reclaim all the magic power. The magic circuits in these hairs are so thin, it would be a shame if they weren't nourished by magic and became blocked.

Well, take back most of it and leave a little bit to ensure that the magic circuit is always in the lowest level of excitement to ensure the smooth flow of the magic circuit. That's it.

Unless in extreme circumstances, magic power itself lacks consciousness and only obeys the command of the mind. Therefore, Lin Zhenxi easily withdrew 99% of the magic power from her hair, leaving less than 1% to maintain the smooth flow of the magic circuit. The moment the magic power was withdrawn, the bright purple color in her hair suddenly dimmed, gradually becoming a strange color close to pure black with a hint of purple. The purple color was particularly prominent at the ends of her hair, as they gradually became transparent, giving the impression of a gradient hair color with only the tips dyed light purple.

Lin Zhenxi poured magic power back into her hair, and it immediately turned back to bright purple. Then she took it away again, and it turned back to black with a slight purplish tint.

Well, it looks pretty good, that's it.

As long as it is within your control, you can accept it.

"Yanyan～～～～" Lin Zhenxi shouted in a long tone.

"Put on some clothes, you exhibitionist!" The black cat flew over, grabbing two pieces of Lin Zhenxi's clothes.

"Nice, partner, this is what I want you to do." Lin Zhenxi pulled off his bathrobe, spread it on the ground, stepped on it, took the clothes that Yanyan had hung on the cat's paw, and began to put them on one by one.

After getting dressed, Lin Zhenxi grabbed her wand and tapped it against her body, using magic to sweep away any fine sand particles that might have clung to her. Of course, the effect wasn't as good as a shower, but it was better than nothing. Besides, the sand particles were the product of magical weathering, so they weren't inherently dirty. It was just something you might notice psychologically.

Next, she came to a corner of this underground space that no longer had any value to exist, and began to test the actual effect of the transformation ritual she designed herself.

Even deep underground, the various elements still exist; at most, their proportions may vary. For example, the abundance of earth will inevitably increase, while wind will inevitably be much less abundant than on the ground and in the sky. However, the abundance of water and fire is similar to that on the ground, as one element affects temperature, while the other affects humidity. Unless the environment is extremely cold or dry, neither element is likely to be too scarce.

But what kind of magic should he try? Considering that he was underground after all, Lin Zhenxi decided to use some magic with relatively small physical destructive power to test it.

It's you, Dark Ball!

The fundamental elements aren't limited to just earth, wind, water, and fire; there are six: earth, wind, water, fire, light, and darkness. We won't dwell on the four; they're always there, and even if we don't recognize them, they should know us. Light and dark are a fascinating pair of counterpoints, as they always exist in opposition. Wherever there's light, there's also darkness. While the difference may vary slightly depending on the room's brightness, they're definitely there.

These two elemental magics are notoriously weak, but they possess properties not found in other elements. The properties of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire are readily apparent, taking effect immediately upon impact, whereas the special properties of Light and Dark magic require a short delay before their effects are felt. However, they possess strong penetrating power, easily piercing through solid objects and directly affecting their interior, inflicting embrittlement and corrosion on targets.

Lin Zhenxi drew out his wand and pointed it at the opposite wall. He put in about the same amount of magic power as he remembered, and then silently recited the shadow ball spell.

She immediately felt her magic power gushing out from the front of her wand, like gas evaporating, quickly spreading across the space in front of her. This feeling was quite strange, because before, the front end of her magic power was just the tip of the wand, but now it had crossed the boundaries of this entity and spread into the air.

But she soon had no time to sigh, because immediately afterwards, a black ball swelled rapidly in front of her, looking like a black airbag suddenly inflated in front of her.

No, the black ball quickly surpassed the size of a normal airbag and continued to expand. It expanded until it reached the boundary of the gaseous magic power Lin Zhenxi had diffused into the air, and only then did it finally stop. By then, its diameter had exceeded ten meters, and both its lower and upper parts had already touched the boundaries of the underground space. If Lin Zhenxi hadn't deliberately made this space larger, this massive black ball would have filled it entirely.

Judging from its appearance, there is no doubt that this is a Shadow Ball, but its size is too big, almost catching up with the super-large Rasengan on the next set.

The key point is! Lin Zhenxi didn't feel how much magic power she used. To create this massive Shadow Ball, Lin Zhenxi used about the same amount of magic power as the smaller, palm-sized Shadow Ball she had used before. This small amount of magic power consumption couldn't even keep up with Lin Zhenxi's own magic power recovery. In other words, the little magic power she used would automatically regenerate in the time it took to catch her breath.

Just as Lin Zhenxi was contemplating the destructive power of such a massive shadow ball, she suddenly felt as if she were losing control of it. If such a large shadow ball exploded this close to her, it would be no joke; at the very least, it would disfigure her. Terrified, Lin Zhenxi didn't even bother to think about why she was losing control of her magic. She quickly swung her wand and pushed the massive shadow ball away.

The giant shadow ball hit the opposite wall without making any sound, but went straight in. Lin Zhenxi looked at the dents on the ceiling and floor of the underground space caused by the movement of the shadow ball and fell silent.

Can this thing still be called a shadow ball?
