Quick Wear: Love still depends on two love brains

At five o'clock the next day, just as the sky was getting light, the training ground on the back mountain was full of people.

Quan Jiuxi had already set up a spirit gathering array in the center of the venue. Twelve obsidian stones were arranged according to the positions of the stars, and the spirit awakening bead was placed on the stone platform in the center.

"Line up, in order of age." She stood at the center of the formation, her voice piercing the morning mist. "Place your hand on the awakening bead, concentrate your mind, and recite the incantation after me."

Old Master Quan was the first to step forward. As soon as his skinny palm touched the Qi Ling Pearl, it was enveloped by a gentle force.

Quan Jiuxi tapped his brow with his fingertips and shouted softly, "Draw the Qi into your body, open up all the orifices, and awaken your spiritual roots—rise!"

The light blue spiritual energy flowed along the old man's arm. Pain first flashed across his face, and then turned into shock.

But after a moment, the old man's originally cloudy eyes lit up, and his knuckles made a light "cracking" sound when he clenched his fists.

"I...I think I can see dewdrops a hundred meters away."

The old man's voice trembled, and the mental power detector on his wrist lit up green: "Detected mental power fluctuations, current level: B+."

There were gasps from the crowd.

The old man's mental strength was only C-level before he retired, but in just a few minutes he jumped two levels?

Next is Father Quan’s turn.

As soon as he placed his hand on the Spirit Awakening Pearl, he was pushed back half a step by the spiritual energy, and beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

Quan Jiuxi was sharp-eyed and noticed that his meridians were blocked. He tapped his back three times with his fingertips: "Concentrate, don't resist."

As the three fingers fell, Father Quan suddenly groaned, as if something was broken.

Spiritual energy instantly surged throughout his body. He leaned against the stone platform and gasped for half a minute. When he opened his eyes again, the complex patterns on the design drawing in his hand became extremely clear - that was the core structure of the mecha that he had been stuck on for half a year, and now he could see through the key at a glance.

"Spiritual power...Level A, Beginner." The prompt sound of the detector made his eyes red.

Quan Feng's hands were still shaking when he stepped forward.

He stared at the Qi Ling Pearl, remembering the mocking light on Tang Mingyuan's mecha last year, and the disappointed looks of the elders at the family meeting.

When the spiritual energy surged into his body, he gritted his teeth and allowed the force to wash away the blocked mental nodes.

"Ah—" He uttered a low cry, and the detector suddenly burst into a dazzling red light:

"Spiritual power breakthrough! Current level: Intermediate A-level."

Quan Feng suddenly looked up, and his eyes were full of complexity when he looked at Quan Jiuxi - admiration, unwillingness, and a hint of bitterness at being surpassed.

Finally, it was Quan Mengmeng’s turn. The little girl stood on tiptoe to reach the Qiling Pearl. As soon as the spiritual energy entered her body, she giggled: “Cousin, I seem to hear the wind talking!”

Quan Jiuxi looked into her lively eyes and lightly touched her head with his fingertips: "It's a wind-type spiritual root. Practice hard and you can become the most powerful scout in the future."

For the next three days, the entire Quan family spent time at the training ground.

Quan Jiuxi did not teach them any fancy spells, but only the most basic breathing techniques to familiarize them with the connection between spiritual energy and mental power.

She focused more on the modification of the mecha - she dismantled and reassembled the dusty "Black Iron" mecha in the family warehouse, and integrated the principles of spiritual root operation into the control system, allowing people who opened their spiritual roots to directly mobilize the energy of the mecha through mental power, eliminating the delay of conventional operations.

"Remember, aura is auxiliary, the core of the mecha is structure and tactics."

She stood outside the training cabin, watching Quan Feng control the mecha to perform a standard evasive maneuver.

"Your mental strength is sufficient, but your calculation of the load-bearing capacity of the mecha's joints is far from enough. If you were 0.3 seconds slower, this movement would have caused the gears in your right leg to crack."

Quan Feng's forehead was sweating as he silently adjusted the parameters.

He discovered that Quan Jiuxi's understanding of mechas far exceeded that of the old engineers in the family - she could accurately tell the load-bearing limit of each screw and predict the energy loss of the mecha under high-speed movement.

She is indeed very good.

Quan Feng looked at Quan Jiuxi. The girl was dazzling and completely different from the person who was always causing trouble.

It seems that Xing Sui can still help her drain the water from her brain?

On the opening day of the league, the Star Fighting Mecha Arena was packed. When the Quan family team entered the arena, they attracted a lot of whispers.

"Look, that's Quan Jiuxi, following General Pei into battle, but he summoned a phoenix!"

"I think she will definitely be the champion!"

"That's not necessarily true. It could just be a coincidence. Don't forget, she was once a notorious loser."

"I don't care, she's got her heart on me, so she's bound to win?!"

"Look at Quan Feng, his mental strength is only at the middle level of A-grade, and he has the nerve to join the elite group?"

Quan Jiuxi was wearing a silver-gray combat uniform. Upon hearing this, he just glanced at the person who spoke - the Zhao family team. The leader, Zhao Feng, was hugging two team members and sneering.

The Zhao family is a mecha family that has risen to prominence in recent years. Zhao Feng's mental power has reached the high-level A-level, and the "Liyang" mecha he controls is equipped with the latest thermal energy cannon, making him a favorite to win the championship in this league.

Quan Jiuxi glanced at the two of them indifferently. When their eyes met, they were suddenly a little frightened.

It was nothing, even though it was a light look, it made them feel oppressed.

In the first round of the group stage, Quan Jiuxi's opponent was the Wu family, who were good at guerrilla tactics.

The "Swift" mecha controlled by the opponent was as agile as a bird. At the beginning, it took advantage of the obstacles on the field to launch a surprise attack from behind. The laser beam brushed past the "Black Iron" shoulder armor that Quan Jiuxi had casually taken out from home, leaving a charred mark.

The Quan family members in the stands held their breath instantly, and Father Quan clenched the binoculars in his hand - the speed of the "Swift" was recognized by the alliance as fast, and ordinary mechas could not keep up with its turning rhythm.

In the cockpit, Quan Jiuxi's pupils were unusually calm.

She did not rush to chase, but instead called up the three-dimensional model of the venue and quickly marked the possible movement nodes of "Swift" on the screen with her fingertips.

When the "Swift" rushed out from behind the cover again, Quan Jiuxi suddenly controlled the "Black Iron" to do a reverse roll, and the alloy shield on his left arm hit the wing of the "Swift" accurately.

With a crisp "click", the Swift's balance system failed instantly, and the fuselage spun and crashed into the rock wall.

Quan Jiuxi slowly approached the Black Iron, and the particle knife on his right arm popped out and pressed against the glass of the other party's cockpit: "Give up?"

The Wu family's driver panted heavily on the communication channel, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I lost."

But when Quan Jiuxi entered the quarterfinals and faced the Qi family, who were known for their defense, doubts arose.

The Qi family's "Rock" mecha is covered with three layers of energy shields, and it withstood the frontal bombardment of an interstellar cannon last year.

"Kwon Jiuxi has hit a wall," the commentator's voice echoed across the arena. "The energy shield of 'Rock' is 1.5 times denser than 'Black Iron'. It's impossible to break it!"
