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

Just then, a circle of light appeared at the end of the path, very similar to the one they had just entered, except that this one was smaller, so small that only one person could pass through at a time. Lu Lingxi stared at the circle of light, lost in thought, wondering where it led. Then she and Bei Chenhaoyu exchanged a glance and walked in together, followed closely by Chu Ranran, Ye Junyi, and You Mingchang.

Within the circle of light, darkness reigned, as if they were in an endless void. Though apprehensive, the five remained calm. Suddenly, a powerful suction force lifted them up, and after a dizzying spin, Lu Lingxi found herself in a completely unfamiliar place. All around was silent; she was alone, with no one else in sight. It seemed the white circle of light had transported them to different locations.

After the dizziness subsided, Lu Lingxi found herself in a vast desert. This desert was completely different from ordinary deserts; it was filled with the rich scent of earth. The desert sky was a pale gold, and the sun hung high in the sky, scorching the earth.

Just as Lu Lingxi was intently sensing the changes around her, a deep and powerful tremor came from underground. Immediately afterwards, a colossal creature burst forth from the ground. Its shape resembled a combination of a tortoise and a snake, its entire body covered in a hard and thick shell. Its head was that of a snake, held high, with piercing eyes that exuded an undeniable majesty.

Upon seeing this, Lu Lingxi Yao's eyes were filled with surprise. She murmured softly, "Could this be the legendary divine beast—Xuanwu?"

"Hmph, you insignificant humans, how dare you trespass into my territory!" Xuanwu roared deafeningly, his voice filled with threat and disdain.

Lu Lingxi did not back down. Instead, she straightened her back and a fighting spirit flashed in her eyes. "Senior, I did not mean to offend you, but if a battle is inevitable, I will not back down!"

Xuanwu sneered: "Courage is commendable, but strength is the key to everything!"

Before the words were finished, Xuanwu transformed into a yellow whirlwind, carrying an overwhelming momentum as it attacked Lu Lingxi Yao.

Lu Lingxi Yao's figure flashed, transforming into a blue streak of light. The Flying Snow Sword drew a perfect arc in the air, striking directly at the Xuanwu's carapace.

However, the seemingly fragile attack vanished without a trace the moment it touched the Xuanwu's shell.

"Hmph, you mere humans dare to challenge my majesty?" Xuanwu's voice was deep and majestic, echoing across the desert.

Lu Lingxi was not discouraged. She sprang up again, and the Flying Snow Sword drew a dazzling trajectory in the air. The tip of the sword carried a sound of tearing through the air and struck Xuanwu's eyes, which seemed to be able to see through everything.

Xuanwu snorted coldly, tilted its head slightly, and instantly dodged the attack. At the same time, it swung its tail violently, heading straight for Lu Lingxi Yao.

Lu Lingxi Yao moved nimbly, using the momentum to flip in the air and avoid Xuanwu's fatal blow. At the same time, the Flying Snow Sword drew a perfect arc in the air, the sword light as water, turning into a series of sword shadows, attacking Xuanwu with impenetrable force.

Xuanwu was not to be outdone. Runes shone on its carapace, and a faint protective shield enveloped it, blocking Lu Lingxi Yao's sword shadows one by one.

Then, it opened its huge mouth, and a power originating from the ancient primordial era condensed in its mouth, forming a dazzling beam of light that shot straight toward Lu Lingxi Yao.

Faced with this devastating attack, a resolute glint flashed in Lu Lingxi's eyes. She raised her longsword high, its tip aimed at the beam of light, and her spiritual power surged wildly within her body as she met it head-on.

The two forces collided in mid-air, unleashing a deafening roar. The entire space seemed to be torn apart by this force, with light scattering everywhere and energy fluctuations causing the surrounding yellow sand to surge up, blotting out the sun.

Facing an ancient divine beast, brute force alone is insufficient to achieve victory. Therefore, Lu Lingxi quickly adjusted her strategy, utilizing various spiritual techniques and movement skills she had learned. At times, she lightly leaped atop the Xuanwu's massive body, searching for weaknesses; at other times, she transformed into a phantom, maneuvering against the Xuanwu and exhausting its stamina.

As time went by, Lu Lingxi Yao gradually discovered the pattern of Xuanwu's attacks. She used her agile movements to skillfully dodge one deadly attack after another. At the same time, she used the earth and metal elements in the surrounding environment to enhance her attack power and defense.

"Senior, you are strong, but I, Lu Lingxi Yao, am even stronger!" Lu Lingxi Yao's voice was firm and powerful. Suddenly, the Flying Snow Sword in her hand shone brightly, gathering the righteous energy of heaven and earth to form a dazzling sword aura that struck Xuanwu's vitals.

Faced with this sudden attack, Xuanwu finally showed surprise.

Originally, I only came out to test her because I sensed a familiar aura about her. Judging from her offensive, if I don't stop now, I might really fall into the hands of this seemingly weak human.

So, the Xuanwu's massive body trembled slightly, and it actually withdrew its defenses, allowing the sword energy to gently touch its carapace without causing any damage.

"You are very strong." Xuanwu's voice carried a hint of gentleness that was barely perceptible.

Lu Lingxi smiled slightly, sheathed her Flying Snow Sword, and said, "Senior, you are too modest. Today's battle with you has made me understand what true power is."
