Taking the opportunity of traveling through books

Try your best in difficult situations

I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down. Panic wouldn't solve the problem; I had to keep a clear head. The system might be malfunctioning, but I could sense it wasn't completely broken. Perhaps there was still a chance.

I clicked on the "Operation Log" and was dazzled by the densely packed records. I had never carefully studied these records when the system was working properly before, but now it seems that they may contain key information.

Time ticked by, and I was like a drowning man searching for a lifebuoy in the vast ocean, desperately grasping at every possible opportunity. Suddenly, a record caught my eye. It was about the system's energy operation mode. I had never adjusted this parameter before, and the system defaulted to the most energy-efficient mode.

"If I change the system's energy operation mode, can I break through the current predicament?" I murmured to myself, with a spark of hope rising in my heart.

I began adjusting the system parameters, setting the system's power mode to its highest setting. As I did so, the system panel began to flicker, as if under immense load. I stared at the screen nervously, my palms sweating.

At this moment, I felt a strong spiritual power fluctuation coming from behind me. Looking back, I saw Hao Yang fighting with Wei Qing and others. While he was dealing with Wei Qing and others, he looked at me anxiously, his eyes full of worry.

“Don’t worry about me, just focus on them!” I shouted, a warm feeling welling up in my heart. Even in the midst of danger, he always cared about my safety.

Wei Qing and the others saw Hao Yang distracted and seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. Hao Yang was struggling and gradually lost the upper hand. He gritted his teeth and persevered, but his eyes never left me, as if cheering me on.

"Hao Yang, be careful!" I screamed, my heart in my throat. Wei Qing seized Hao Yang's weakness and hit him in the chest with a palm. Hao Yang groaned, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Haha, you're overestimating yourself!" Wei Qing laughed triumphantly, a malicious glint in her eyes. "I'll deal with you first, then I'll slowly take care of that loser!"

I watched Wei Qing raise her hand again, my heart filled with despair and anger. Could fate really play such a trick on me? At this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Hao Yang, and a golden light instantly enveloped Wei Qing and the others...

The golden light faded, and Elder Wei appeared before Hao Yang and I. His hair and beard were all white, but he looked energetic, his eyes sparkling, and he exuded a sense of authority without even getting angry.

"Elder!" I was surprised and happy, as if I had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Elder Wei nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Yao'er, just focus on breaking the restriction. I'm here!" After that, he turned to face Wei Qing and the others and said sternly, "How dare you trespass into the forbidden area and hurt your fellow disciples? You are guilty!"

Wei Qing and the others were clearly very wary of Elder Wei, but unwilling to give up, so they could only bite the bullet and say, "Elder Wei, we are also considering the interests of our family. This forbidden area..."

"How dare you!" Elder Wei shouted angrily, interrupting Wei Qing. "Family interests? I think you are blinded by greed! I will report today's events to the head of the family truthfully. Just wait for the family's punishment!"

Wei Qing and the others tried to argue, but Elder Wei ignored them and attacked directly. The powerful spiritual energy wave shook the surrounding trees. Hao Yang took this opportunity to adjust his breath and rejoin the battle.

I knew this wasn't the time to reminisce, so I immediately focused on studying the system. Time was running out, and I had to find a breakthrough quickly!

Suddenly, my eyes fell on an inconspicuous corner of the system panel, where a line of small words was displayed: "Spiritual power injection, forced breakthrough."

Forced breakthrough? My mind moved and I immediately clicked on the detailed instructions.

"Forced breakthrough requires a large amount of spiritual energy from the user and carries certain risks. Do you confirm the operation?"

Risk? Who cares about risk right now? I gritted my teeth and chose "Confirm" without hesitation.

As the system began to operate, I felt a powerful suction coming from it, and my spiritual energy was rapidly draining away. My vision went black, and my body began to falter.

I bit my lips tightly to prevent myself from making any sound. I had to hold on. I couldn't give up! Just when I was about to give up, I felt the restraint loosen a little, and I heard Hao Yang's surprised voice in my ears: "Yaoyao, I feel..."

Before he could finish his words, my vision went dark and I lost consciousness...

Gradually, consciousness returned. I tried to open my eyes, but they felt heavy as lead. Faint sounds of fighting and shouting filled my ears, and I struggled to wake up.

"Yaoyao! Yaoyao! How are you?" It was Hao Yang's anxious voice. I tried hard to respond to him, but no sound came out.

"Girl, just hold on a little longer, it will be fine soon!" Elder Wei's voice was also filled with worry.

I finally managed to pry my eyes open a crack, and the scene before me gradually became clearer. I saw Hao Yang and Elder Wei, their backs to me, locked in combat with Wei Qing and the others. Hao Yang's body bore several new wounds, but he ignored them completely, his strikes fierce and relentless, each one a desperate gesture.

Although Elder Wei was old, his skills were profound, and he could still handle three of them with ease. While fending off the attacks of Wei Qing and the others, he also paid attention to the situation on my side, his brow furrowed and his expression solemn.

I saw that the light of the forbidden barrier had become dim and bright, and the once indestructible barrier was covered with cracks, like a mirror about to break, shattering. I knew that my efforts had not been in vain, and the forbidden barrier would soon be broken.

"Yaoyao, just hold on a little longer, it will be over soon!" Hao Yang seemed to feel my gaze. He looked back at me, his eyes full of worry and encouragement.

I tried to smile at him, but I didn't even have the strength to lift the corners of my mouth. My body felt light and floating, as if I could ascend to heaven at any moment. I desperately tried to grab onto something, but I found myself powerless.

The spiritual energy in my body continued to drain uncontrollably. I felt like a fish that had been drained of water, its vitality draining away bit by bit. My vision went black and my consciousness began to blur.

Just when I was about to pass out, I felt the restriction suddenly shake, then completely shattered, turning into specks of starlight and dissipating in the air.

"Success!" I heard Hao Yang's surprised voice, and then he suddenly rushed towards me and hugged me in his arms, "Yaoyao, are you okay?"

I leaned weakly against his chest, trying to open my eyes to look at him, but my eyelids were too heavy to open. I tried to speak, but no sound came out. All I could feel was his warm embrace, his rapid heartbeat, and the faint smell of blood.

"Yaoyao, hold on, I'll take you in right away!" Hao Yang's voice trembled, and I knew he was worried about me.

I felt him pick me up and run towards the depths of the forbidden area. I tried hard to open my eyes, wanting to see the scenery deep inside the forbidden area, wanting to see the legendary magical herb...

Suddenly, I felt Hao Yang's body shake violently, followed by a muffled groan, and the arm he was holding around me loosened a little.

"Hao Yang, what's wrong with you?" I was shocked and tried to gather my last bit of strength to ask him what happened.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Hao Yang's voice sounded a little weak, but he still pretended to be calm and comforted me.

"Brother Haoyang, be careful!" A sharp voice came from behind, full of malice and complacency.

I tried to look back, but I found I didn't even have the strength to move my eyes. Unease and fear filled my heart. I knew Wei Qing and the others must be behind this... "Brother Hao Yang, be careful!" Wei Qing's chilling voice made me feel dizzy. Hao Yang stumbled a few steps as if he'd been hit hard, and he almost threw me out.

"Yaoyao, hold on to me!" Hao Yang's voice exploded in my ears, trembling with pain. I tried to hold onto his collar, but the things in front of me became increasingly blurry. I could feel him trying his best to steady himself and prevent me from being shaken further.

"Hao Yang, you can't even protect yourself, so just leave this bitch alone!" Wei Qing's sharp voice came again, with undisguised malice, "Just surrender obediently, and I can make your death even quicker!"

Hao Yang ignored her. He held me and ran forward with determination. I knew that the spiritual herb was just ahead. I could smell the fragrance in the air, the unique scent of the spiritual herb.

"You're looking for death!" Wei Qing was furious and cast a fierce spell directly at Hao Yang's back.

"Hao Yang!" I exclaimed, but was powerless to stop it.

Hao Yang groaned and his body shook violently, but he gritted his teeth and persisted. Instead of stopping, he sped up and rushed towards the direction of the spiritual grass.

I could feel that every step he took was extremely difficult, and his breath was getting weaker and weaker, but he still didn't give up.

"You won't cry until you see the coffin!" Wei Qing sneered, and quickly formed seals with her hands. An even more powerful spell was brewing.

"Hao Yang..." I murmured weakly, my heart filled with despair and worry.

Closer, closer. I could clearly see the magical herb emitting a radiant white light. It grew beside a huge rock not far away, swaying in the wind, as if waving to us.

"Yaoyao, don't be afraid, I'll get the spiritual herb soon..." Hao Yang's voice came intermittently, with a hint of weak tenderness. He stretched out his hand, trying hard to touch the spiritual herb that was so close.

However, just as his fingertips were about to touch the spiritual herb, Wei Qing's attack arrived...

"go to hell!"
