Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

That day, Lu Lingxi went to Shengyuan Auction House to deliver the newly refined pills to Manager Li. She had only been away from home for a short while when she noticed that several men were following her.

Lu Lingxi walked steadily and calmly, and even when she sensed the person following her, there was no sign of panic in her eyes.

She deliberately took a roundabout route through the bustling streets, trying to ascertain the intentions and strength of her followers.

However, the men did not seem to be in a hurry to reveal their true identities, but kept a certain distance and followed closely.

A thought suddenly flashed through her mind—the Illusion Moon Forest, that mysterious and unpredictable ancient land where spirit beasts roam, might be the perfect refuge for her escape.

Having made up her mind, a subtle, sly smile appeared on her face. She adjusted her breathing, making her steps appear light and casual, as if she were simply strolling leisurely through the bustling streets.

The streets were bustling with people, and the diverse faces of the crowd created a vivid picture of everyday life, providing her with perfect cover.

She cleverly used the crowd, occasionally glancing at the few figures that were faintly visible behind her, confirming that they were still following her not far away, but without noticing anything unusual.

She pretended to be full of curiosity about everything around her, sometimes pausing in front of the exquisite stalls to examine them closely, sometimes walking into shops to chat with the shopkeepers, and occasionally buying a small trinket or two. Everything seemed so natural and so casual.

Finally, when a seemingly ordinary but secretly mysterious shop came into view, she casually stepped into the shop, exchanged a few pleasantries with the shopkeeper, and inquired about the shop's furnishings as if by chance, but in reality, she had already glanced at the back door out of the corner of her eye.

Taking advantage of the moment when the men following her were distracted by the commotion inside the shop, she slipped away silently through the back door.

Once out of sight of the crowd, Lu Lingxi Yao immediately used her movement technique, her figure darting through the narrow alleys with agility and speed.

As the distance gradually increased, the hustle and bustle of the city was gradually replaced by the dense forest, and the outline of the Illusionary Moon Forest appeared faintly in front of us.

Several men, their faces cold and their eyes filled with disdain, moved swiftly and forcefully through the forest path. Their target was Lu Lingxi Yao, the notorious "good-for-nothing" of Guiyun City and the young lady of the Lu Ling family.

As they ventured deeper into the outer reaches of the Illusionary Moon Forest, the surrounding scenery grew increasingly dark and profound. Ancient trees reached for the sky, their intertwined branches allowing only a few rays of light to penetrate, and a strange chill and sense of crisis quietly permeated the air.

The men, who had initially been confident, began to sense something amiss—the "good-for-nothing" in their eyes had vanished without a trace, as if by phantom, under the protection of the forest.

"Boss, something's wrong. How did that good-for-nothing suddenly disappear?"

A man stopped in his tracks, his brow furrowed, his voice betraying his panic.

He looked around and saw that all around was quiet, with only the rustling of the wind through the forest and the occasional cry of an animal in the distance.

The leader, a man with a cold face and sharp eyes, was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly regained his composure.

"Calm down, don't panic. She's a piece of trash. No matter how capable she is, where can she hide? Everyone, stay alert, spread out, search carefully, don't miss any place!"

He shouted in a deep voice, but a hint of seriousness flashed in his deep eyes.

At his command, the group, though apprehensive, had to force themselves to remain calm and disperse, each heading in a different direction deeper into the forest to search for the vanished figure.

After searching for a period of time without finding anything, the name Lu Lingxi Yao quietly transformed in their minds from a contemptuous label of "useless" to a fearsome presence.

Just as the group stepped into the outer area, which was gently caressed by a thin mist, a lingering sense of mystery and unease seemed to remain in the air. Suddenly, a subtle change broke the surrounding tranquility.

Lu Lingxi Yao's lips curled into a bewitching smile that could captivate all beings, like a poppy blooming quietly in the dark night, both alluring and dangerous.

She deliberately chose a perfect spot, one that was neither too obvious nor too obvious, yet ensured that her figure fell within the line of sight of those who were relentlessly pursuing her.

At that moment, her figure seemed to blend into the surrounding environment, yet she inadvertently stood out and became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Boss, look! That brat is right there, don't let her get away!"

A hurried and excited voice cut through the air, followed by a series of tense and powerful footsteps.

Upon hearing this, the leading man's gaze sharpened, instantly locking onto Lu Lingxi's location, a determined glint in his eyes.

The group sped off like arrows, some even charging forward recklessly, determined to capture the cunning "brat" in one fell swoop.

Lu Lingxi Yao, on the other hand, seemed to have anticipated all of this. She moved swiftly and gracefully forward, like a forest sprite, leaving behind a string of silvery laughter and an elusive figure.

Several men followed closely behind the graceful figure ahead. Soon, they realized that although she was not far ahead, she neither accelerated her run nor showed any signs of fatigue, but always managed to maintain a cleverly elusive distance.

The man in the lead frowned, his tone filled with disbelief and frustration.

"This is truly bizarre. How can a piece of trash possess such astonishing speed, leaving even us self-proclaimed elite five-star martial artists in the dust?"

Upon hearing this, the others exchanged glances, their eyes showing the same astonishment and confusion.

They secretly calculated that if this matter were to spread, their reputation in Guiyun City would be severely damaged, and they would become the laughing stock of others.

This sense of humiliation burned their self-esteem like a raging fire, forcing them to channel their fighting spirit and resentment into motivation, gritting their teeth and continuing their seemingly hopeless pursuit.

Sweat streamed down their foreheads, dripping onto the parched earth, only to be instantly absorbed, mirroring their state of mind—exhausted yet resolute.

And so, in this Illusionary Moon Forest, a seemingly unequal chase quietly unfolded, while Lu Lingxi Yao's seemingly casual ease made the chase full of unknown variables and challenges.

Stepping into the central area of ​​the Illusion Moon Forest, the surrounding air seemed to become unusually heavy and quiet, and even the sunlight filtering through the dense canopy became dappled and deep.

Lu Lingxi Yao involuntarily slowed her pace, her brows furrowed slightly, and an indescribable strange feeling welled up in her heart.

The surrounding area, which should have been bustling with life and teeming with spirit beasts, was now unusually empty. Apart from the occasional chirping of unknown birds and the rustling of the wind through the leaves in the distance, there was no sign of any other living beings.

"How...how could this happen?"

She murmured to herself, her gaze searching the dense yet silent forest around her, hoping to find a clue, but she only caught empty shadows of trees and dappled light.

This tranquility made her feel both confused and wary.

Looking back at the men following closely behind, their expressions were equally solemn, their eyes flashing with doubt and unease.

The man in the lead looked more cautious. He lowered his voice and said, "Everyone be careful. We've never seen anything like this before. We've already ventured deep into the central region and heard that there are many spirit beasts here, and they are quite powerful. The silence we're in now probably means something's wrong."

The others nodded in agreement, unconsciously tightening their grip on their weapons and becoming more cautious in their movements.

They unconsciously drew closer to each other, as if this would increase their sense of security.

As they went deeper, the sense of oppression from being shrouded in the unknown grew stronger.

"This matter must be resolved as soon as possible. That useless person cannot be allowed to remain. We must act swiftly."

The man in the lead had a resolute and unquestionable glint in his eyes, and his tone carried an unquestionable authority.

He tilted his head slightly, conveying a signal to his companions behind him with an almost imperceptible movement—a tacit understanding that required no words.

Upon receiving the signal, the group tensed up almost simultaneously, their pace quickening involuntarily. Like cheetahs, they suddenly exerted their strength, their bodies tracing smooth and powerful arcs in the air, instantly surrounding Lu Lingxi Yao. Their movements were silent yet threatening, every glance and every subtle action revealing an unyielding dominance.

Lu Lingxi was tightly surrounded by several people, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere that was almost frozen.

A man with a full beard and a rugged face, whose eyes were as sharp as a hawk's and whose lips curled into a disdainful smile, slowly spoke, his voice low and threatening.

"Useless trash, let's see where you can run to now?"

Lu Lingxi stood still, her face calm and composed. She gently raised her hand, her fingertips twitching slightly. A flash of cold light appeared, and the Flying Snow Sword was drawn. The sword was crystal clear, like the first snow of winter, shining with a cold yet dazzling light in the dim light.

Holding a long sword, she stood tall and composed, her gaze calmly sweeping over the man in black before her.

Seeing Lu Lingxi Yao so calm and composed, the man's face darkened even more. He snorted contemptuously, his voice tinged with anger and embarrassment.

"Hmph, trash. I advise you not to put up any futile resistance. If you're smart enough to surrender obediently, perhaps... we might take pity on you and leave you with a whole corpse..."

However, before he could finish speaking, a dazzling light suddenly flashed through the air, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch.

With a slight movement, Lu Lingxi Yao's long sword seemed to transform into the brightest shooting star in the night sky, carrying a chilling aura. In an instant, she precisely severed the man's throat, and blood gushed out like a spring.

The man in black stared wide-eyed, filled with disbelief and terror, but he could no longer utter a sound. He could only fall helplessly to the ground, his life force fading rapidly, leaving only a cold corpse and the thick smell of blood in the air.

Lu Lingxi Yao, however, acted as if nothing had happened, slowly sheathing her long sword without the slightest fluctuation in her eyes.

The scene was so sudden and shocking that the remaining people couldn't help but gasp in surprise, but then their voices stopped abruptly as if gripped by an invisible fear.

The group unconsciously took a few steps back, each step heavy and frantic, as if trying to escape the sudden shadow of death, yet finding nowhere to run.

The air was thick with the stench of blood and unease, making it suffocating.

The man in the lead had a livid face, and his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's as he locked onto Lu Lingxi Yao.

His eyes were filled with shock, anger, and deep wariness, as if he were realizing for the first time that the girl in front of him, who was called "useless," possessed a powerful force that could overturn all their understanding.

"Fuck..."

He cursed under his breath, his tone filled with disbelief and indignation.

Who exactly spread the rumor that she was a "good-for-nothing"? His brother, a five-star martial artist, was considered a powerful figure on the continent, yet he was killed in the blink of an eye by this "good-for-nothing" who had been ridiculed by countless people, without even being able to put up any effective resistance.

At this moment, all prejudice and misunderstanding seemed so pale and powerless. He began to re-examine the girl and secretly planned his next move.

Lu Lingxi stood quietly, unconsciously emanating a chilling aura that made people tremble, like a cold wind from the depths of hell.

Her eyes were deep and unfathomable, their indifference revealing an unyielding resolve. Every gentle breeze that swept by seemed to intensify the oppressive atmosphere in the air.

The man at the head of the group looked even paler in the darkness and the chilling atmosphere, and fine beads of sweat unconsciously appeared on his forehead.

However, a fierce determination arose from this helplessness.

He clenched his fists, a fierce glint in his eyes, and looked at his brothers behind him, whose faces also showed fear. He roared in a deep voice, "Brothers! We can't just sit here and wait to die! We have to fight either way. How can we be willing to give our lives here if we don't try our best? Today, let's join forces. I don't believe that so many of us can't take her down! Charge!"

As he finished speaking, the other men, though still shaken, mustered their courage, gritted their teeth, and charged toward Lu Lingxi Yao in unison.

Their figures were like moths drawn to a flame, knowing they would die, yet still striving to shine their last light.

In that split second, Lu Lingxi Yao remained motionless, and with a light slash of her Flying Snow Sword forward, a thunderous roar seemed to rise from the ground like a thousand horses galloping. Immediately afterward, a crystal-clear ice spike suddenly shot up from the ground, reaching a height of more than two meters, radiating a chilling aura capable of freezing the soul.

Those men, who had intended to take advantage of the situation to press forward, their faces still showing ruthlessness and greed, were caught off guard by this unexpected turn of events.

A moment of astonishment and fear flashed in their eyes, but it was too late. The speed of the icy blade far exceeded their imagination, and before they could react, it had mercilessly pierced through their bodies.

The blood condensed into frost in the cold air, merging with the surrounding chill, leaving only shocking cracks and a body gradually losing its vitality, silently telling the story of this instantaneous cycle of life and death.

This is the power of the "Frost Blade," a legendary technique in the Flying Snow Swordplay. Lu Lingxi Yao cleverly incorporated a small amount of ice spirit power into the move, which greatly amplified its power. Not only was it faster and sharper, but it also possessed a transcendent icy power.

She stood there, surrounded by a light mist of ice, like the purest snow goddess in winter.

She searched the corpses, taking the spatial rings from each of them into her palm.

Then, she slowly closed her eyes, and a gentle yet profound aura emanated from her body—the unique spiritual fluctuations of a cultivator.

She extended her divine sense, penetrating the protective layers of each ring and delving into that vast and boundless space.

Then, a faint smile appeared on her lips. Among these rings, not only were there all sorts of magical treasures, elixirs, and rare materials, but what surprised her even more was the considerable number of spirit stones.
