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

Suddenly, Lu Lingxi had a flash of inspiration, and a brilliant plan quickly took shape in her mind. She used her divine sense to silently transmit this plan to the phantom beside her.

The phantom immediately nodded in understanding. Then, under a surge of power, it transformed into a seven or eight-year-old boy in the blink of an eye.

As his spiritual energy surged, a faint black mist rose in the air. This mist gradually condensed and eventually formed a pair of pitch-black wings on his back. His whole body exuded a strange and powerful aura of malevolence, which made people's hearts tremble.

Hiding in the shadows, Youming Chang saw this scene and his eyes were filled with greed. His gaze was fixed on the phantom. As everyone knows, a spirit beast that can transform into human form must be at least a divine beast. This one in front of him could not only transform, but was also a dark plant spirit beast. Moreover, he had heard that when the Demon Blood Vine transforms into human form with black wings on its back, its cultivation will double.

Youming Chang's heart pounded faster, and an unprecedented fervor surged within him. He secretly vowed that no matter what, he was determined to obtain this dark-type plant-based spirit beast.

The phantom pushed its speed to the limit, then transformed into a wisp of black mist, carrying an undeniable aura, and suddenly sped towards the seven-colored nine-tailed fox.

The seven-colored nine-tailed fox angrily raised its elegant neck, let out a "whimpering" cry, and flew swiftly towards the phantom with lightning speed.

Seeing this, Lu Lingxi Yao did not hesitate to mobilize the wind spirit power in her body. A blue light swirled around her, like a blue lightning bolt, and relentlessly chased after the seven-colored nine-tailed fox.

The phantom attracted the attention of the seven-colored nine-tailed fox in front, while Lu Lingxi Yao was behind, her eyes fixed on the movements ahead. Her hands were clenched into fists, and the power of the five elements intertwined and merged in her palms. After seizing the opportunity, she unleashed a world-destroying punch and smashed it fiercely towards the seven-colored nine-tailed fox.

"Bang~"

A deafening roar echoed through the space. The Seven-Colored Nine-Tailed Fox was struck heavily by the sudden attack, its massive body trembling. It turned around abruptly, its beastly eyes flashing with icy killing intent. With a deafening roar, the Seven-Colored Nine-Tailed Fox opened its massive maw, and a stream of scorching air shot out, heading straight for Lu Lingxi Yao.

Lu Lingxi reacted quickly, sidestepping the attack with ease. However, the crisis was not over. The giant claw of the seven-colored nine-tailed fox, with the force to tear through the air, suddenly attacked her.

At this critical moment, Lu Lingxi had no time to think and could only take the blow head-on. The giant claw collided with her protective spiritual power, producing a dull sound. Although she tried her best to resist, she was still shaken by the powerful force and staggered back several steps. A trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and the pain made her let out a low groan.

"Well!"

The phantom's eyes, like two deep pools of blood, suddenly darkened. He parted his thin lips and softly chanted, "Arrow of Darkness."

As the words fell, the surrounding air seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force. Dark spiritual energy surged and rapidly condensed into countless sharp arrows. They were densely packed, blotting out the sky, and carrying the aura of death as they shot toward the seven-colored nine-tailed fox.

"Shuashuashua——"

The seven-tailed fox appeared small and helpless under this impenetrable attack. Despite its best efforts to dodge and leap, it still could not completely avoid the rain of dark arrows.

In the end, its body was pierced by arrows, and its gorgeous fur was stained red with blood. Each arrow seemed to ignite the rage in its heart, making it even more ferocious and out of control.

The wounded seven-colored nine-tailed fox let out a deafening roar, its huge paws suddenly rising, its sharp claws extending rapidly in anger, carrying a cold glint, and pounced towards the phantom like lightning.

At this critical moment of life and death, Lu Lingxi Yao flashed and instantly appeared beside the phantom. She used all her strength to push the phantom to the side, while she herself remained under the deadly attack of the Seven-Colored Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Pfft!"

With a muffled thud, the sharp fox claws nearly tore through Lu Lingxi Yao's defenses, embedding themselves deeply in her abdomen. Blood gushed out, staining her clothes red.

However, there was no sign of retreat in Lu Lingxi's eyes. She tightly covered her wound with one hand, as if trying to forcibly retain the rampant life force.

At this critical moment, Ling Shu reacted quickly, her hands surging with spiritual energy, transforming into a warm and powerful force that continuously flowed into Lu Lingxi Yao's body, prolonging her life force. With Ling Shu's help, her life force gradually recovered, although she still looked frightening on the surface.

At the same time, after Phantom was pushed away by Lu Lingxi, a ball of black blood mist suddenly condensed in his palm. He pushed forward, and the blood mist slammed into the already wounded body of the Seven-Colored Nine-Tailed Fox.

A look of astonishment flashed in the nine-tailed fox's eyes. It struggled a few times, but finally collapsed to the ground helplessly. Its body was eroded by the dark spiritual power that had been fused with the deadly poison of the Demon Blood Vine, and it fell into a temporary state of paralysis and unconsciousness. Even though it was a divine beast, it could not withstand this attack.

"Master!" Phantom rushed back to Lu Lingxi's side, her eyes filled with worry.

Lu Lingxi shook her head gently. Although her face was as pale as paper, she managed a reassuring smile. "I'm fine."

The phantom's red eyes were filled with self-reproach as he whispered, "It's my fault for being useless. I failed to protect my master, which is why he was so seriously injured."

Before Lu Lingxi could speak, a cold voice suddenly rang out from the corner, tinged with provocation and disdain, "Hmph, it's because your master is too incompetent. Staying by her side will only lead to a dark future for you. Why don't you consider changing your master, like—me!"

Then, two figures slowly emerged from the dark corner. It was You Mingchang and the man. You Mingchang's eyes were full of greedy light, constantly moving over the phantom. The dark plant-type spirit beast, the Demon Blood Vine, was a perfect match for him, a dark spirit master.

"Little fellow, your talent is truly enviable. Fire, wind, darkness, earth, plus the rare space element—a five-elemental spirit master is enough to make you shine anywhere. But unfortunately, today is the day of your demise. Since you cannot escape death, why not give me this Demon Blood Vine? I guarantee it will be of the greatest use in my hands." Youming Chang's voice carried an undeniable domineering aura, every word filled with threat.

Faced with this blatant plunder, Lu Lingxi Yao's pale face blossomed with a calm smile, her voice weak yet firm, "Hmph, you want my spirit beast? You're not worthy!"

Whether someone is good enough or not is up to me!

Youming Chang snorted coldly, his hand twitching slightly, clearly preparing to activate the contract formation in an attempt to forcibly seize it.

However, at that very moment, the phantom figure instantly transformed into a cloud of black mist and vanished without a trace. At the same time, the seven-colored nine-tailed fox that had been paralyzed was also quickly stored into the Kunlun Ring under Lu Lingxi Yao's control.

Seeing this, Youming Chang sneered, his eyes filled with confidence and disdain. "You think recalling it will solve everything? As long as I get rid of you, the contract will naturally be dissolved. Today, I'm going to have this Seven-Colored Holy Spirit Grass and Demon Blood Vine!"

Lu Lingxi Yao looked down at the Seven-Colored Holy Spirit Grass in her hand, then looked up at the despicable person who was taking advantage of her misfortune, a mocking smile curling at the corner of her lips.

"You've decided? Hahaha~ What a joke, don't take yourself too seriously!"

Youming Chang's dark eyes widened suddenly, filled with doubt. He couldn't understand why Lu Lingxi was so calm. However, before he could think about it, Lu Lingxi had already made her move. With unbelievable speed, she stuffed the Seven-Colored Holy Spirit Grass in her hand into her mouth.

At that moment, Youming Chang's expression changed drastically. He had no time to react and could only watch helplessly as Lu Lingxi Yao swallowed the Seven-Colored Holy Spirit Grass that he had painstakingly found.

The spiritual herb melted instantly upon entering her mouth, and immediately afterward, an indescribable, boundless energy awakened within Lu Lingxi Yao's body, like the primordial chaos at the beginning of the universe, churning wildly in her spiritual sea of ​​consciousness.

In an instant, this energy was about to fill and burst the space of the mental sea of ​​consciousness. The energy fluctuations were as turbulent as ocean waves, frantically squeezing every corner of the mental sea of ​​consciousness.

"Ah~", Lu Lingxi Yao rolled on the ground in pain, her limbs unconsciously hitting the surrounding stone walls.

A complex expression flashed across Youming Chang's face. He then quickly retreated from the cave with the man. He cursed under his breath, "That girl really got off easy. But judging from the current situation, she doesn't seem to be able to withstand the energy from the Seven-Colored Holy Spirit Grass. If she fails to absorb it, she'll explode and die. Even though we've lost the Holy Spirit Grass, once that girl is dead, I might be able to get the Demon Blood Vine."

At the same time, this violent energy fluctuation and Lu Lingxi's painful cries, like thunder in the dark night, pierced through the thick stone wall and reached outside the cave.

Just then, Lu Xinglan arrived in a hurry. His steps faltered abruptly at the familiar yet desperate voice, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart, prompting him to rush into the depths of the cave without hesitation.

Just as Lu Xinglan anxiously stepped into the cave, You Mingchang and the man also rushed out of the cave, almost brushing past Lu Xinglan. Although Lu Xinglan keenly sensed that the other party had an unusual aura, at this moment he was full of worry for Lu Lingxi Yao's safety and had no time to care about anything else.

Lu Xinglan rushed into the dark and deep cave. The scene before him made his heart ache. Lu Lingxi was covered in blood and grime, her skin mottled and cracked from the cuts, and bleeding profusely.

Her spiritual power went out of control, her eyes turned bloodshot, and her expression became distorted, as if she were haunted by a nightmare. She recklessly rammed her body against the hard stone wall, each impact accompanied by a heart-wrenching roar, until finally, with a last cry of exhaustion, her body could no longer bear the strain and she fell limply to the cold ground.

"Yao Yao!" Lu Xinglan's voice was filled with uncontrollable self-blame and grief. Almost as he called out, he teleported to Lu Lingxi Yao's side and caught her fragile body in time. His gaze was gentle and sad, full of heartache and self-blame, hating himself for not finding her sooner and not being able to protect her in time.

Just then, the cave began to tremble violently, and loose rocks kept falling from the ceiling and walls, crashing to the ground with dull thuds. Lu Xinglan had no time to think; he held Lu Lingxi tightly and rushed toward the cave entrance.

Outside the cave, Youming Chang and the man had been waiting for a long time, their faces smug and wicked. Seeing that the cave was about to collapse, Youming Chang snorted disdainfully and raised his hand lightly. A cold, dark spiritual force silently shot towards the cave entrance, instantly accelerating the collapse. Boulders tumbled and dust flew up. In no time, the originally narrow cave entrance was completely blocked by countless rubble.

When Lu Xinglan saw that the exit was blocked by rubble, his face darkened. Gravel kept falling from the cave ceiling. If they didn't get out of there soon, they would be buried alive.

So he softly called out, "Dark Prison"

Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly materialized from nothingness. He was dressed in a tight-fitting black suit, completely covered from head to toe. Only his pair of deep, abyss-like black eyes shone with calmness and loyalty. His attire was strikingly similar to that of Nalan Rongzhi's secret guard, Shadow.

Dark Prison spoke in a low voice, "My lord! I have scouted the area and found that there is a rather weak section of the stone wall deep within the cave. I will transform into my true form and lead you out!"

After he finished speaking, his body emitted a dazzling black light, and in an instant, an enormous black dragon soared into the sky, its scales shimmering with a cold light, its eyes like torches, and its aura majestic.

Lu Xinglan, carrying Lu Lingxi, quickly leaped onto the dragon's back. The Black Dragon Dark Prison carried them as they crashed into the weakest stone wall. With a deafening roar, the stone wall shattered, dust filled the sky, and they used the force to soar into the sky.

"My lord, where are we going?"

"Hidden Mist City!"

Then, the massive body of Dark Prison, carrying Lu Xinglan and the weak and powerless Lu Lingxi in his arms, sped towards a hidden place deep within the Holy Spirit Continent...

That was their headquarters, the Mist Hidden Sect. This place was shrouded year-round in a thin, impenetrable white mist, resembling both a fairyland and a labyrinth. Even experienced explorers could hardly glimpse its true form. The Mist Hidden Sect became their stronghold not only because of its exceptional secrecy, but also because its geographical location facilitated their various missions, making their actions difficult to detect.

Lu Xinglan held Lu Lingxi tightly. Her frail body appeared exceptionally small in his arms. His hands gently rested on her cold back, and a continuous stream of spiritual energy flowed from his palms, slowly seeping into Lu Lingxi's body, injecting vitality into her depleted life force.

As time passed, a faint but clearly perceptible life force gradually surged within Lu Lingxi Yao's body, and Lu Xinglan's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed, indicating that Lu Lingxi Yao was out of danger.

However, when he saw the violent energy, he couldn't help but frown again. The energy was almost bursting her slender body, which made Lu Xinglan tremble with fear. He couldn't help but scold her in a low voice, but his tone was full of heartache.

"Yaoyao, how could you take such a risk? If this power is not properly guided, at best it will plunge you into an eternal slumber, and at worst... the consequences will be unimaginable."

Lu Xinglan looked down at Lu Lingxi Yao, who was covered in blood, and unconsciously hugged her tighter, whispering softly in her ear.

"Yaoyao, you must hold on!"
