Chapter 89: Farewell Again

"—There are many species of mythical beasts similar to the Phoenix around the world, such as Europe's Phoenix, Russia's Firebird, Egypt's Benu, South America's Yel, Arabia's Anka, and the East's Fenghuang. Notably, all these birds possess the trait of resurrection and are closely related to the Phoenix constellation and the sun."

"Our Medici family has confirmed that they can, to some extent, draw power from the Phoenix constellation. This is likely why most stars in the Phoenix constellation are dim. It's not that they are inherently weak, but rather that the star power projected from the Phoenix constellation into this world has been extracted. Additionally, the Phoenix constellation may have a mysterious connection with the sun."

"Few people know that thousands of years ago, the star 'Achernar,' adjacent to the south of the Phoenix constellation, was the South Pole star among the celestial stars. Meanwhile, 'Fomalhaut' to its north was one of the stars of the Northern Palace Black Tortoise's Encampment constellation, and also the core star of the Black Tortoise's Seven Mansions."

Angela paused here, then spoke to Li Mochen with deliberate seriousness: "Amo, if you intend to continue practicing your 'Eighty-Eight Constellation Meditation Method,' then I suggest your next step could consider the Phoenix constellation. This will help you grasp the mysteries of life and death at the poles, and even aid you in visualizing the Great Yin and Great Yang in the future."

Li Mochen leaned back slightly, a hint of surprise in his eyes. Angela's suggestion was remarkably aligned with his own thoughts.

The difference was that Angela's advice was based on Western constellation studies, while his considerations were rooted in Eastern stellar studies.

The position of the Phoenix constellation was quite interesting, coinciding precisely with the location of the 'Firebird' in Eastern stellar studies. Although the latter was not among the Twenty-Eight Mansions, it held considerable importance in Eastern stellar studies.

He indeed needed to consider the next step of the 'Dual Profound Transformation Method.' Although he had only been in this world for a few days, thanks to the auxiliary effects of medicines and beast meat, along with the particularly abundant spiritual energy here, the stabilization of his own cultivation base was progressing unusually fast.

Two hours seemed to pass in an instant. When Angela's lesson finally came to an end, Li Mochen felt a sense of lingering satisfaction.

Angela hesitated for a moment before gathering her courage to speak: "Amo, it was you who saved me yesterday, wasn't it?"

Li Mochen blinked, then feigned ignorance: "I don't know what you're talking about."

Angela snorted lightly: "You didn't change your sweatpants. That pattern and style are only available at our school. Also, although you were wearing a mask, your voice didn't change, and your height was the same. Andrei, are you trying to insult my intelligence?"

Li Mochen's lips twitched slightly. In truth, he had anticipated this issue beforehand. But at that moment, the situation was too urgent; he couldn't change his pants while sprinting at full speed.

At that time, if he had delayed even a second, the girl named Lina would have died on the spot.

If it were him, he would have found a way to use illusions to solve it, but Tianxin Li Mochen obviously didn't have the leisure to maintain a full illusion spell.

"It was me."

Li Mochen frankly admitted it. He had concealed his identity earlier to avoid getting involved in trouble. Since things had gone against his wishes and he had been found out, it was no big deal.

But he still made a zipping motion across his lips: "Keep it a secret for me, OK? I don't want to be found by the police, nor do I want assassins coming to avenge."

"It really was you!"

Angela broke into a bright smile. She knew it was this guy.

"Although you might not care, I still need to thank you on behalf of Lina and myself. You saved our lives."

"No need to thank me. You are my classmates after all. Since I saw it, I couldn't just stand by. And Angela, you've helped me too."

Li Mochen had already walked out of the meditation room and was preparing to grab his things and go home: "But if you feel indebted, you can express gratitude materially. I'd be happy to accept. I think your two lives should be worth quite a bit?"

Hearing this, Angela couldn't help but smile. Then she noticed his previous remark, and her expression turned strange.

But by then, Li Mochen had already entered the men's locker room. Angela could only pause and wait patiently outside.

About three minutes later, Li Mochen emerged from the men's locker room carrying his sword bag. Angela puffed her cheeks and pouted: "Amo, you're so cunning. You're already this powerful, yet you still let me teach you. I sensed your magical source yesterday. I've never seen anyone who could control two completely opposite extreme magical sources so effortlessly. I bet your foundation is top-notch. Both the Ursa Minor and the Antarctic constellations must be flawless; otherwise, you couldn't have achieved that. But I foolishly believed you and arrogantly gave you lessons."

"You're mistaken. Do you really think the constellation knowledge you taught me is something someone like me could grasp?"

Li Mochen felt he must not dampen Angela's enthusiasm: "Angela, your lectures are excellent. I get absorbed every time. I think you have great potential as a teacher."

"Really? You're not lying to me?"

Angela's eyes sparkled with joy: "When I was little, my dream was to become a teacher. Hmm~ Since you say so, shall we continue the lessons?"

They had already walked out of the gymnasium, but Li Mochen's steps halted. This was because a Maranello convertible, which absolutely should not have been there, was parked on the sports field ahead.

Li Mochen recognized the beautiful woman stepping out from the driver's seat—it was his half-sister, Jennifer Wiltonstein.

Angela's gaze was also drawn to the newcomer. Not yet understanding the situation, she quietly observed.

Jennifer quickly approached them. She took off her sunglasses and looked Li Mochen up and down with a cold, displeased gaze: "Not bad. In less than half a month, there's color in your face. The Nathan Group treats you well, doesn't it?"

Li Mochen thought for a moment, then decided not to respond. He walked past the woman with a cold expression.

The original owner of this body was full of resentment, but Li Mochen believed that provoking her now would be futile.

This half-sister of his was not like that waste of a magical energy shadow from yesterday. Li Mochen could see that her foundation was exceptionally solid, and she carried several top-tier magical artifacts. Although Jennifer's current level was only twelve, her actual combat power far exceeded her level. If measured by the magical energy shadow he had killed, she was worth between seven and ten of them. Evaluated by this world's system, she might even reach 15S, the master level of the fifteenth rank.

Since he was not as strong, it was better not to humiliate himself.

"Still so foolish, my brother."

As they passed each other, Jennifer let out another cold laugh: "Andrei, can't you use your pitiful intelligence to think? Given your current situation, why would the Nathan Sports Group offer you a top-tier sponsorship contract plus two floors of the Unicorn Apartment?"
