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

As dawn broke, Lu Lingxi stood in the courtyard, dressed in light training attire. Beside her, Zhixia lowered her head, her eyes filled with disappointment and reluctance, her hands unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes.

Lu Lingxi gently patted Zhixia's shoulder and said tenderly, "Zhixia, you have good talent, but you have never had the opportunity to learn systematically. Now, take advantage of this time while I am training to learn from the academy teachers and bring your potential to the fullest."

Zhi Xia looked up, her eyes slightly red, but she tried hard not to let the tears fall, her voice choked with sobs.

"I understand, Miss!"

Lu Lingxi paused for a moment, then continued, "I look forward to seeing you stand before me in an even more dazzling light when we meet again!"

Upon hearing this, Zhi Xia's disappointment was gradually replaced by a warm feeling. She nodded vigorously, her eyes regaining their sparkle.

"Miss, I will! I will cherish this opportunity, study hard, and not let you down. I'll wait for you to come back!"

On the edge of Fengyang County lies a forest called the Nine Nether Forest, a place that captivates the hearts of countless mercenaries and adventurers.

It is completely different from the Illusion Moon Forest. The Nine Nether Forest is larger, has more spirit beasts, and the spirit beasts are of a higher level. It is also the most dangerous place. Therefore, it naturally became Lu Lingxi Yao's first choice for training.

A young boy stood quietly beneath the city gate of Fengyang County. Sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, dappling his straight back and casting a golden glow on his slightly immature figure.

He looked up, his gaze falling on the ancient plaque on the city gate tower, his lips moving slightly as he softly read it aloud.

Fengyang County!

The boy's face had not yet completely lost its childishness, but his eyes shone with a determination and courage beyond his years. A faint smile played on his lips as he stepped through the city gate with the bustling crowd.

This young girl is none other than Lu Lingxi Yao. She arrives in Fengyang County with a completely new look, and her destination is the terrifying Nine Nether Forest.

After entering the city, she did not linger, but quickly found a clean-looking inn to settle down, preparing to enter the Nine Nether Forest the next day.

The Nine Nether Forest is renowned for its perilous nature. Here, ancient trees reach for the sky, their branches and leaves forming a dense, impenetrable net that almost completely blocks out the sunlight, leaving only dappled light and shadow.

Deep within the forest lurks all sorts of ferocious spirit beasts. These beasts possess extraordinary strength and speed, and have a strong sense of territory. Even the bravest adventurers find it difficult to linger on the outskirts, let alone venture into the core area, which would be tantamount to suicide. Only well-equipped and highly skilled mercenary groups, relying on their teamwork and formidable strength, dare to venture into the central area.

Since she came here for training, Lu Lingxi Yao couldn't just stay on the outer perimeter. Besides, with Huan Yue around, those spirit beasts wouldn't dare to approach easily.

As Lu Lingxi Yao ventured deeper into the forest, the surrounding environment became increasingly eerie, forcing her to unleash her powerful spiritual energy to perceive everything around her.

However, even such powerful spiritual energy seemed insignificant in the face of the vast and boundless Nine Nether Forest, barely able to cover a small area around her.

"Hey, little guy, this is not a place for you. High-level spirit beasts lurk all around. They are extremely ferocious. How dare you come here as a child without any guards?" The man's tone was a mix of warning and concern.

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi Yao's brows twitched slightly, and her eyes grew even colder. She asked indifferently.

"and then?"

Upon hearing this, the man's smile froze, replaced by an embarrassed blush. But he quickly regained his previous affability, his smile tinged with a hint of helplessness.

"So, you'll stay by my side. Once we've finished our mission, I'll escort you back safely. That's much better than you wandering around this dangerous place alone."

Lu Lingxi pondered for a moment. Since she was already here, she might as well go and see what opportunities might arise. So, she nodded slightly, agreeing to the man's suggestion.

The man led the way, and Lu Lingxi Yao slowly followed behind him.

Throughout the journey, the man's gaze remained fixed on her with curiosity and bewilderment. The boy looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old, yet his eyes revealed a tenacity and composure beyond his years. How had he, all alone, managed to traverse so many dangers to reach this central region? And which noble family's child was he? Why would they dare to let him train alone? These questions lingered in his mind.

Fortunately, he ran into him. Once the mission is complete, he will definitely escort him home safely.

As they paused, they came to a wide-open lawn where more than a dozen tents were set up in a neat and orderly fashion, resembling a temporary, cozy little village.

The two walked toward one of the tents. The man stopped, gently lifted the tent flap, turned to look at Lu Lingxi, a gentle smile playing on his lips, and said, "Little one, we've arrived. Come in!"

Lu Lingxi nodded slightly and then stepped into the tent.

There were many people in the room, their faces solemn as they discussed something. When they saw the man bring in a boy, they all looked at Lu Lingxi Yao in unison.

However, Lu Lingxi Yao appeared unusually calm in the face of this sudden attention, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.

She casually sat down in a seemingly inconspicuous spot, her posture revealing a detached and indifferent attitude.

At this moment, a woman in red, with a graceful figure and light steps, walked through the crowd and came to the man's side. She lowered her voice and asked softly, her tone carrying a hint of curiosity and caution.

"Boss, where did this kid come from?"

The man chuckled softly upon hearing this, "I met him on the road. Seeing him all alone, I was worried he might encounter some misfortune outside, so I brought him back. Once we finish our task, we'll send him on his way. By the way, how's your discussion going?"

Upon hearing this, the woman in the clothes subconsciously turned her gaze to Lu Lingxi, clearly worried that Lu Lingxi had overheard the details of their plan.

The middle-aged man smiled faintly, "It's alright!"

These words acted as a reassurance, allowing the woman in red to relax her tense nerves slightly. She then readjusted her mindset and continued to communicate quietly with the man and the others.

"Today, a dozen of us brothers encountered a Fire Cloud Wolf. Despite our large numbers, we were no match for it. After several exchanges, it became clear that with our current strength, confronting it head-on would be like throwing an egg against a rock."

"Fortunately, we know we've reached the Fire Cloud Wolf's lair, but the key issue is that we need more than just defeating it; we need to capture this precious spirit beast intact, which is undoubtedly much more difficult. If it weren't for the need to capture it alive, with the combined strength of our team, we might actually be able to kill the Fire Cloud Wolf, but killing it would not benefit us."

At this moment, a man's voice broke the silence, tinged with helplessness and anxiety: "Yes, the rating day is fast approaching. If we can't capture a spirit beast within this limited time, it means we will lose our qualification to enter the Dark Mine."

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere instantly became heavy, and everyone's brows furrowed into deep frowns.

The woman in red suddenly raised her eyes, her gaze locking onto Huan Yue in Lu Lingxi Yao's arms. Immediately, an undisguised joy bloomed on her face, and she involuntarily stepped towards Lu Lingxi Yao.

"Little one, could you transfer the spirit beast you're holding to us?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi's face instantly darkened.

The phantom moon in her arms seemed to sense the woman's ill intentions. In an instant, its sharp teeth were exposed, and it barked a warning at the woman in red.

"You filthy woman, wolves are sacred beasts, how dare a mere human like you covet them? I'll bite you to death!" Huan Yue roared inwardly, just as she was about to transform, Lu Lingxi Yao held her down.

Lu Lingxi's gaze was as cold as frost as she stared directly at the woman in red, her voice devoid of any warmth: "Want it? You can't afford it!"

Upon hearing this, the woman's lips curled into a bitter smile, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes. She knew all too well that the spirit beast before her was no ordinary creature, and its value far exceeded that of gold and silver treasures.

Even so, she was still unwilling to give up easily. She bit her lip and insisted, "I understand that this is indeed a pipe dream. But please believe me, this spirit beast is really important to us. If you are willing to name a price, we will do our best to raise the funds, no matter how long it takes, and we will never break our promise today."
