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

Legend has it that the Demon Blood Vine is the supreme plant-type spirit beast in the Demon Realm. Its vines have a faint red glow flowing on their surface, like congealed blood. Although it looks eerie, it contains the unique magic and life essence of the Demon Realm. It is a rare medicinal material that alchemists dream of, and it can be used to extract magical potions that can reverse life and death.

It's just a mystery why such a precious Demon Blood Vine would appear in the Phantom Forest of the human realm.

Despite having many questions in her mind, being in this mysterious place shrouded in dense dark spiritual energy, she decisively chose to temporarily set aside her doubts and think about them later.

She asked Huan Yue to protect her, so she sat cross-legged, closed her eyes and concentrated, and her body gradually emitted a faint light that resonated with the dark spiritual energy around her.

With each deep breath, the dark spiritual energy within her body seemed to awaken a giant dragon, surging and surging through her meridians.

This force is profound and powerful, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, breaking through upwards section by section.

In this tense and sacred moment, the dark spiritual power within her body finally reached its peak, leaping from the peak of the ninth-star dark spiritual master to the first-star spiritual king, directly surpassing the fire and wood elements. At the same time, the surrounding dark spiritual energy seemed to thin out a bit.

As Lu Lingxi Yao broke through, a surge of power flowed into the Demon Blood Vine in the space, allowing it to directly advance from the seventh star of a Sacred Beast to the first star of a Divine Beast. It should be noted that if it were to cultivate on its own, it would take an unknown number of years. Having tasted the sweetness of success, the Demon Blood Vine realized that the girl who had contracted with it had such amazing talent, and the resentment in its heart was gradually replaced by gratitude.

Lu Lingxi Yao formed a contract with the Demon Blood Vine, and the Dark Spirit Pearl naturally fell into her hands. It should be noted that the Dark Spirit Pearl is extremely rare for dark-element cultivators because it can greatly shorten cultivation time and improve cultivation efficiency.

As Lu Lingxi exhaled the last breath of turbid air from her body, a strange fluctuation suddenly surged in the air, carrying an undeniable danger.

Her pupils contracted sharply. Without a moment's hesitation, she channeled her wind elemental power, her figure seemingly merging with the wind's trajectory, light and swift. With a light touch of her toes on the ground, she instantly retreated dozens of meters, creating a safe distance from the sudden danger.

In the dim night, a man stood quietly, dressed in a black robe that swayed gently in the breeze, detached from the hustle and bustle of the world. He exuded a profound aura, suggesting that he was no ordinary person.

His features were sharply defined by the night, and he looked to be around twenty or thirty years old. His eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, and she could vaguely sense the faint fluctuations of dark spiritual energy emanating from him.

Lu Lingxi stood not far away, her eyes filled with vigilance, openly scrutinizing the uninvited guest. "Who are you? Why did you ambush me?"

Faced with her questioning, the man's face remained cold and stern, without the slightest emotional fluctuation. His voice was deep and magnetic, carrying an unquestionable authority.

"I am Ye Zigui, the master of the Dark Spirit Pavilion. Little girl, hand over the Dark Spirit Pearl in your hand, and I can guarantee your safety; otherwise..."

It is said that the people in the Dark Spirit Pavilion are all spiritual cultivators who practice dark spiritual power, and their pavilion master has already reached the cultivation level of a Spirit Venerable.

Although there was a huge disparity in strength between them, she had just been promoted and her foundation was not yet solid, so she urgently needed a thorough and exhilarating battle.

A defiant smile played on her lips, tinged with a barely perceptible amusement. "So what if I don't pay?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zigui's expression darkened, a hint of undeniable anger flashing in his deep eyes. His low voice carried a warning, "Arrogant! Do you know the consequences of your words?"

Lu Lingxi shook her head with a light laugh and took a step forward slowly. Her clothes fluttered in the wind, making her look even more unrestrained.

“That’s how arrogant I am!” She paused slightly, her eyes suddenly becoming sharp and confident. “I want to see if you, Ye Zigui, have the ability to make me taste the price of this arrogance.”

An invisible tension emanated between the two. Ye Zigui snorted coldly, a chilling smile playing on his lips. "Hmph, what an arrogant fool! I hope you can still laugh like that later."

A playful smile curved her lips, her voice clear yet tinged with disdain and mockery, "Lord Pavilion Master, aren't you being a little too overconfident? After all, there are always people more capable than you, and the sky is always higher than the heavens!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zigui's expression changed drastically, his eyes blazing with fury. Instantly, a powerful and icy pressure enveloped his body. He roared, his voice filled with rage, "Ignorant brat, prepare to die!"

With a flick of his sleeve, a dark blade, as black as night, hurtled toward Lu Lingxi Yao with earth-shattering force, moving at an astonishing speed.

Seeing this, Lu Lingxi Yao moved swiftly, like a swallow skimming the water, dodging the fatal blow with extreme agility. Even so, the dark blade grazed her arm, leaving a thin, long bloodstain. The blood slowly seeped out, making her fair skin look shocking.

Despite her injury, she was even more excited. "Sect Master, does this count as our official duel?"

"If you don't hand over the Dark Spirit Orb, you will die!"

Ye Zigui was surrounded by a dark spiritual power, as if slowly rising from the depths of the underworld, surging with a heart-palpitating force. Then, the black energy on the ground, like the tentacles of a demon, twisted and spread, approaching her.

In her shock, a thought flashed through her mind, and a tiny crack seemed to tear open in space. Then, her figure blurred, as if merging into the surrounding night. In the blink of an eye, she stood firmly on a large rock not far away.

At the same time, the grass where she had been standing was instantly swallowed up by the surging black mist. The once lush and vibrant weeds seemed to have their life force drained away the moment they came into contact with the black mist, quickly withering and dying, leaving behind only a desolate place.

She stood atop the boulder, her gaze fixed on the land below, eroded by darkness, her eyes filled with awe.

Just then, a chilling aura suddenly rose from beneath her feet. Without the slightest hesitation, she used her wind elemental power to leap lightly into the air.

Below, the once silent boulder underwent a sudden transformation. Its surface began to crack, the rocks crumbled and reformed, eventually transforming into a giant stone monster over five meters tall, waving its thick arms made of solidified rock, each swing accompanied by a deafening roar.

A look of disbelief flashed in her eyes; she had never expected that Ye Zigui would possess an earth-elemental talent.

Before she could think, the giant stone monster's arms, as thick as pine trees, hurtled towards her with a devastating force.

A faint smile appeared on her lips. Then, she gently raised her hand, and the Flying Snow Sword was already in her grasp. With a clear sword hum, she flicked her wrist and gently swung it. The power contained in the sword tip instantly erupted, transforming into a lifelike golden dragon. Its golden scales shimmered, and its roar shook the heavens. It soared into the air, carrying an invincible majesty, and charged majestically towards the giant stone monster.

The golden dragon and the stone monster clashed fiercely, the shockwaves from their collision sweeping across everything around them like a violent storm. But the golden dragon was clearly superior; with its indestructible force, it easily tore the giant stone monster to pieces, ultimately reducing it to a pile of fine stone dust that drifted away in the wind, as if it had never existed.

Then, she twisted her waist sharply, her movements light and agile, and quickly approached where Ye Zigui was.

However, Ye Zigui's reaction was unusually calm. A cold smile appeared on his lips. "Hmph, walking right into a trap, utterly foolish!"

After speaking, he gently spread his hands, as if summoning the power of darkness. Instantly, wisps of dense black energy surged around him like living things. They intertwined and entwined in the air, eventually weaving into a dense, impenetrable black net that quickly and silently enveloped Lu Lingxi Yao.

This black net, like a giant black cocoon, tightly bound Lu Lingxi Yao within it, blocking out all outside light and leaving only endless darkness.

"No matter how much you struggle, it's all in vain. In the face of absolute power, you are nothing but an insignificant ant!" Ye Zigui's voice echoed in the darkness, filled with arrogant arrogance.

But at that moment, Lu Lingxi, who was wrapped in a black cocoon, suddenly let out a faint laugh. Although the voice was soft, it carried an undeniable confidence.

"Oh? Is that so? Then let me see if this so-called 'net of heaven and earth' can really trap me, this 'ant'."

Under the pitch-black night sky, a dazzling blade of light, like lightning slicing through time and space, suddenly tore apart the layers of intertwined black cocoon. Illuminated by the light, the cocoon eventually shattered into countless fragments, scattering across the ground.

Lu Lingxi Yao stood unharmed in this light, holding a light-elemental spiritual weapon—the Holy Spirit Blade.

At the same time, she lightly touched the ground with her fingertips, as if she had made some kind of mysterious pact with the earth. Then, she suddenly raised the hand that was pressing on the ground, and the earth seemed to respond to her call. Sharp earth spikes suddenly surged up under Ye Zigui's feet. They pierced the darkness like swords and instantly surrounded him in a cage built of earthen walls several meters high.

Startled, Ye Zigui tried to break free from this sudden predicament. He took off, attempting to fly into the air, but a huge black net suddenly descended from the sky, like a deep shadow in the night, mercilessly binding him tightly. Ominous light flickered within the net, seemingly devouring every ray of light around him.

Ye Zigui quickly erected a spiritual energy shield, his deep eyes flashing with intense light, his expression filled with greed.

"You actually have earth element talent? Today, our sect not only wants the Dark Spirit Pearl, but also wants to embark on the path of dual cultivation with you, a rare dual-element spirit master."

Having said that, he suddenly roared, "Break!"

With this sharp shout, the thick earthen wall and the dense giant net, originally formed from earth-elemental spiritual energy, collapsed in an instant, turning into wisps of ethereal dust.

His eyes gleamed with an almost morbid elation and excitement, as if what he was about to obtain was not just a precious Dark Spirit Pearl, but also the greatest opportunity he had ever dreamed of.

Upon hearing this, a deep look of disgust appeared on Lu Lingxi's face. "Pah! You? You think you're worthy of cultivating with me?"

Ye Zigui remained silent. With a thought, a thick, dark mist gradually gathered in his palm, releasing a chilling dark power.

Suddenly, he pushed his palm forward, and the black energy seemed to be given life, instantly expanding and splitting into several incomparably sharp black blades, carrying the aura of death, pointing directly at Lu Lingxi Yao.

Faced with this sudden and fatal blow, Lu Lingxi's reaction was nothing short of miraculous. Her figure moved like lightning at that moment, so fast that it was almost impossible for the naked eye to catch it.

However, just when she thought she could completely escape death, a sudden change occurred. Ye Zigui's figure appeared behind her mysteriously, and a silent palm strike, like a venomous snake in the shadows, struck her back without warning. She had no time to react and felt an irresistible force surge towards her. Like a kite with a broken string, she was violently slapped away, tracing a tragic arc before crashing heavily into an ancient tree not far away.

A dull thud echoed in the silent night. Her body trembled and slid down, a mouthful of blood gushing out uncontrollably. A wave of excruciating pain washed over her; it felt as if her internal organs were being torn apart, all her strength drained away, and even moving became incredibly difficult.

Ye Zigui's figure slowly approached. "I advise you to obediently hand over the Dark Spirit Pearl, then swear to me to become my servant. Only then might I consider sparing your life!"

Faced with Ye Zigui's threat, Lu Lingxi Yao showed no fear whatsoever. She clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white from the force, and her voice, though soft, was exceptionally firm: "Dream on! I, Lu Lingxi Yao, would rather die standing than live on my knees!"

Just then, a voice drifted from the top of the ancient and thick tree trunk, carrying a hint of barely perceptible mockery, deep and magnetic.

"What a stubborn little guy!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zigui and Lu Lingxi Yao looked up simultaneously, their gazes passing through layers of green leaves, finally settling on the top of the tree trunk, where an extraordinary man came into view.

He sat there quietly, his body seemingly enveloped in a faint glow. His long, ink-black hair flowed freely, and his features were striking, like a masterpiece by a master craftsman. Every line was perfectly placed, creating a breathtaking beauty. His purple eyes were deep and captivating, as if they could see into the essence of all things. He smiled slightly, the curve of his lips carrying a hint of playfulness and provocation, enough to make anyone's heart flutter and become unable to extricate themselves.

The man's dangerous aura made Lu Lingxi instinctively resist, but at this moment she needed to get medical help as soon as possible. Although the man was very dangerous, there was no enmity between them. She calmly said, "Save me!"

Upon hearing this, the man's lips curled into a playful smile, a smile that was both wicked and mocking. With a swift movement, he leaped lightly from the tall tree trunk like a ghost, landing silently.
