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

Lu Lingxi carefully put away the jade bottle and turned to Zhuque, saying, "We still need to go to the Azure Continent, and Rong Zhi's condition cannot be delayed."

Zhuque nodded, about to speak, when suddenly his expression turned serious. "Master, someone is here."

Before the words were finished, a clear bell sound came from afar. A girl dressed in green rode a snow-white spirit beast and slowly walked towards them. The girl had delicate features and a hint of heroism between her brows. A string of silver bells hung from her waist, making a pleasant sound with the spirit beast's steps.

"Did you two come down from Star-Picking Cliff?" The girl dismounted and curiously looked at Lu Lingxi and Zhuque.

Lu Lingxi nodded slightly, "That's right."

"Great!" The girl's eyes lit up. "My name is Lin Qingling. I am a disciple of the Star Pavilion on the Azure Continent. I heard that there was something unusual happening at Star Picking Cliff, so I came to investigate."

Zhuque's eyes flashed, "The Azure Continent?"

Lin Qingling nodded with a smile, "That's right, the Azure Continent is above the Apocalypse Continent. It's rich in spiritual energy and is an excellent place for cultivation."

Lu Lingxi's heart stirred. "Are there any special requirements for going to the Azure Continent?"

“Of course,” Lin Qingling took out a Star Jade Slip from her bosom. “You must obtain the Star Pavilion’s approval and the Star Token to travel to the Azure Continent through the Star Array.”

"How can I obtain the Star Token?" Lu Lingxi asked.

Lin Qingling blinked. "It's very simple. You just need to pass the Star Pavilion's assessment. However," she paused, "the assessment is only held on the first day of each month, and it's extremely rigorous, with a pass rate of less than 10%."

Just then, a sudden gust of wind swept in, and a sharp whistling sound came from the sky. Three figures descended from the sky, the leader being a man dressed in black with a gloomy face, holding a long, black sword.

“Junior Sister Lin, these two people have the aura of Star-Picking Cliff on them. They must have just picked the Dew of the Void Stars,” the man in black sneered. “Perfect. Hand over the Dew of the Void Stars, and I might consider giving you a quick death.”

Lin Qingling's expression changed. "Senior brother, what are you doing here?"

"Hmph," the man in black glanced at her disdainfully, "Star Pavilion sent me here to wait for this moment."

A hint of coldness flashed in Lu Lingxi's eyes. "The Dew of the Void Stars is very important to me. I'm afraid I cannot comply."

"You're courting death!" the man in black roared, brandishing his long sword as a jet-black blade of energy pierced through the air.

Lu Lingxi swung her Flying Snow Sword, and the sword energy collided with the blade energy in the air, producing a deafening roar.

The Vermilion Bird spread its seven-colored wings, and flames erupted, engulfing the other two men in black. Lin Qingling was not to be outdone; she gently shook the silver bell in her hand, sending waves of sound towards the men in black.

"You mere ants from the lower realm dare to fight me?" The man in black sneered, his dark element surging wildly within him, transforming into countless black blades that attacked the three of them.

A cold glint flashed in Lu Lingxi's eyes. Her nine elemental spiritual energies erupted simultaneously, forming a dazzling pillar of light in the air that shattered all the black blades. At the same time, she wielded her Flying Snow Sword, its light raining down and enveloping the man in black.

"This...this is nine-elemental spiritual power?" The man in black's expression changed drastically. In haste, he summoned a black shield, attempting to block this terrifying attack.

However, under the impact of the nine elements of spiritual power, the shield was as fragile as paper and shattered instantly. The man in black was forced to retreat repeatedly by the blow, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Senior brother!" The other two men in black saw this and wanted to step forward to help, but they were blocked by the Vermilion Bird's seven-colored flames.

"Go!" The man in black looked grim. He took out a talisman from his pocket, crushed it in his palm, and the three of them vanished instantly.

"That's amazing!" Lin Qingling looked at Lu Lingxiyao with eyes full of admiration. "Sister, you must participate in the Star Pavilion's assessment. With your strength, you'll definitely pass!"

Lu Lingxi pondered for a moment, "Where will the assessment be held?"

“Wanxing City is just ahead,” Lin Qingling pointed to a majestic city in the distance, “There are still three days until the assessment. I can take you there.”

Lu Lingxi nodded, "Then I'll trouble you."

The three walked towards Wanxing City, but none of them noticed that after they left, a faint, shadowy figure quietly followed them...

Wanxing City is magnificent and imposing, with star patterns engraved on its walls. On either side of the city gate stands a towering spiritual energy tower, with a huge star stone floating at its tip, emitting powerful spiritual energy fluctuations.

“This is Wanxing City,” Lin Qingling said, pointing to the plaque above the city gate. “The Star Pavilion is holding its assessment in Star Square in the city center. I’ll take you to find a place to stay first.”

As soon as the three stepped into the city gate, a commotion arose. A group of young cultivators dressed in fine clothes were gathered around a stall. The stall owner was an old man with white hair, and various spiritual artifacts were displayed in front of him.

“These are all spiritual artifacts that the Star Pavilion has rejected,” Lin Qingling explained. “Many people who participate in the assessment come here to try their luck.”

Just as Lu Lingxi was about to speak, she suddenly sensed a powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy. A young man in a blue robe strode over, his arrogant gaze sweeping over everyone.

"Get out of the way!" the young man shouted, and the crowd immediately dispersed. He walked to the stall, picked up a silver longsword, and asked, "Old man, how many spirit stones is this sword?"

The old man said tremblingly, "This Star Sword is a high-grade spiritual weapon, and it costs one thousand spirit stones."

"A thousand spirit stones?" The young man sneered. "Giving you a hundred spirit stones would be generous!"

“Young master,” the old man said with a wry smile, “one hundred spirit stones aren’t even enough to cover the costs.”

"You're courting death!" The young man roared in fury, gathering a ball of water elemental energy in his hand, ready to attack.

"Stop!" Lu Lingxi suddenly spoke, her eyes flashing like lightning. "What kind of skill is it to bully the elderly?"

The young man turned around and looked Lu Lingxi up and down. "Oh? Another arrogant cultivator from the lower realm?"

"Senior Brother Nie," Lin Qingling whispered, "she's very strong."

"Very strong?" Senior Brother Nie chuckled dismissively. "Then let me see just how strong you are!"

Before he finished speaking, the water elemental power in his hand transformed into countless ice blades, attacking Lu Lingxi Yao. She swung her longsword, and a sword aura shattered all the ice blades.

"You've got some skill," a hint of surprise flashed in Senior Brother Nie's eyes, "but that's far from enough!"

He formed a hand seal, and the surrounding water elements gathered wildly, transforming into a giant water dragon that roared and pounced towards Lu Lingxi. A cold glint flashed in Lu Lingxi's eyes, and her fire elemental power surged within her body, transforming into a blazing wall of fire that instantly blocked the water dragon. The moment the water dragon touched the wall of fire, it instantly turned into water vapor and dissipated into the air.

At the same time, her Flying Snow Sword, imbued with wind spirit power, formed sharp wind blades that attacked the young man. In his haste, the young man conjured a water shield, but it was instantly shattered by this terrifying attack.

"This...how is this possible?" The young man's face changed drastically, and he retreated repeatedly.

“Senior Brother Nie,” Lin Qingling said coldly, “she is a powerful expert who can simultaneously control nine types of spiritual power!”

"Nine elemental spiritual powers?" Senior Brother Nie's face turned pale. "I'm sorry, I was blind to your greatness. I'm willing to offer two thousand spirit stones for this Star Sword!"

After saying that, he placed the spirit stones on the stall and slunk away.

"Thank you for your help, young lady," the old man said gratefully. "Please accept this Star Sword as a gift."

Lu Lingxi shook her head. "I already have a sword, but please accept these two thousand spirit stones."

"Sister is amazing!" Lin Qingling said excitedly. "Senior Brother Nie is an inner disciple of the Star Pavilion, but I didn't expect you to defeat him so easily."

Zhuque smiled slightly, "Master's strength is beyond his comprehension."

“I’ll take you to where you’ll stay,” Lin Qingling said. “Tomorrow I’ll take you to see Star Plaza.”

Just as the three were about to leave, a sudden gust of cold wind blew by. Lu Lingxi frowned and sensed a faint black aura. She looked back but found nothing.

"What's wrong, Master?" Suzaku asked.

Lu Lingxi shook her head. "It's nothing, let's go."

However, just after they left, a man in black robes emerged from the shadows, his cold gaze fixed on their departing figures, muttering to himself, "Nine elemental powers... interesting, very interesting!"
