Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world
Chapter 71 Encountering Danger in the Forest
During the past two weeks, a large number of intermediate-level spirit stones have been delivered to Blazing Flame every day, which makes the members of Blazing Flame extremely happy. At the same time, the few people who represent Blazing Flame in the competition have all consciously gone into seclusion to cultivate. Everyone is looking forward to seeing what level they will reach when they come out.
During this time, Lu Lingxi was constantly uneasy. Given the consistent style of the Gale Mercenary Group, it was impossible for things to remain calm for so long. However, she couldn't predict when they would make their move. In any case, she had to prepare in advance.
With only half a month left before the rating conference, she carefully selected a series of self-defense treasures. On the other hand, she worked day and night to refine emergency pills. These pills could not only heal injuries and save lives, but also turn the tide of battle at critical moments, becoming an ace in their hands.
However, the most crucial ingredient for the Spirit-Boosting Pill she was currently refining—the Spirit-Boosting Grass—had become a problem for her. She had searched all the pharmacies in the city, but none of them had any Spirit-Boosting Grass. So, she decided to go to the Nine Nether Forest to try her luck.
Thanks to the connection between Lu Lingxi and the plant-type spirit beast, the Demon Blood Vine, she quickly discovered a patch of Spirit-Chongling Grassland. After carefully picking the grass, as she was about to return, she vaguely sensed a mysterious and extremely dangerous aura behind her.
She snorted softly. So the Gale Mercenary Group had been holding back for so long, just to deal with her?
"Hmph, you've been hiding for so long, aren't you going to make a move?" Lu Lingxi's voice was cold and disdainful, echoing in the quiet forest.
As soon as she finished speaking, a man dressed in black with a cold face slowly emerged from the dense shadows of the trees. His eyes were devoid of any warmth, and he simply stared at her coldly.
"Now that you've discovered me, prepare to die!"
The man in black slowly raised his hand, and a blazing fireball suddenly leaped from his palm, carrying destructive power as it hurtled rapidly toward Lu Lingxi Yao.
Lu Lingxi's eyes sparkled, and with a light turn, she skillfully darted past the edge of the fireball. The fireball instantly struck the ancient tree behind her, and with a deafening roar, the tree was engulfed in flames and turned into ashes in an instant.
The man in black smirked, his voice low and cold, "Not bad, you actually managed to dodge it. You do have some skill."
As soon as he finished speaking, his left hand burst into flames again, like an angry dragon emerging from the sea, and he slammed it down on Lu Lingxi Yao.
Faced with this unstoppable attack, Lu Lingxi remained exceptionally calm. Her hands swiftly formed hand seals, and cold energy condensed in her palms, quickly forming frost that collided head-on with the flames of the man in black.
In an instant, ice and fire intertwined, and a loud "bang" erupted in the air. However, Lu Lingxi was ultimately slightly inferior and was knocked back several feet by the powerful energy wave. She staggered and barely managed to adjust her body before landing ten meters away.
She quickly adjusted her breathing, her eyes flashing with an indomitable light. In the air, the water elemental power seemed to respond to her call, gradually gathering and transforming into countless extremely sharp ice blades, gleaming with a chilling light, which shot towards the man in black with lightning speed.
This sudden counterattack surprised even the man in black, who was clearly not expecting Lu Lingxi to launch such a rapid counterattack in such a short time.
However, this was nothing to him, who was at the Spirit Venerable realm. With a gentle push of his palm, an invisible force surged, and the ice blades melted in the air, turning into droplets of water that silently merged into the earth.
"Little one, stop struggling in vain and just accept your fate!"
The man in black spoke calmly, but his eyes held an indescribable killing intent. His spiritual energy surged throughout his body, like the ocean before a storm, unfathomable.
Lu Lingxi stood tall, facing the man in black's overwhelming aura, but her eyes showed no sign of backing down; instead, they became even more resolute.
"You speak too soon. If you want to take my life, you will have to pay a much higher price!"
The man in black chuckled, a hint of amusement in his voice: "Heh... interesting. Since you insist, I'll play along and show you what true despair is."
After speaking, the longsword formed from his spiritual power, with flames leaping on its blade like a raging dragon in flames, rushed straight towards Lu Lingxi Yao with unparalleled power.
The powerful spiritual energy sword forced Lu Lingxi to dodge left and right, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow each time.
However, even with her exquisite movements, she could not completely avoid the overwhelming attack. Several wounds quietly appeared on her body, and blood instantly stained her clothes. Her wrists were charred black by the high temperature, making her look extremely disheveled.
"I've had my fill of fun, little guy, it's time for you to get going."
The man in black spoke with an undeniable arrogance. His eyes narrowed, like a cheetah locking onto its prey. He gathered immense spiritual power in his fists and slammed them towards where Lu Lingxi was.
With a loud "boom," Lu Lingxi Yao was caught off guard and struck head-on by the sudden punch. She felt an indescribable force raging through her body, as if her internal organs were being torn apart by an invisible hand, causing her unbearable pain.
Then, a strong, metallic taste of blood filled her mouth, and finally, unable to hold back, she spat out a mouthful of blood with a "pfft".
With difficulty, she retrieved an eighth-grade restoration pill from her spatial storage. A faint glow emanated from the pill, and a bitter smile touched her lips. This pill was given to her by Nalan Rongzhi; for a moment, she even felt a pang of longing for him.
But this was not the time for her to let her mind wander. She quickly composed herself, swallowed the pill, and soon the medicinal effects spread rapidly throughout her body, repairing her broken body. Although it could not restore her to her peak condition, it at least gave her a glimmer of hope.
Lu Lingxi's eyes regained their brilliance. She gathered all her spiritual power, and between her palms, five colors of spiritual power intertwined like a rainbow, gradually merging into a chaotic sphere.
This sphere contains boundless energy, as if it wants to devour the entire world.
As the man in black closed in again, she threw the Chaos Orb without hesitation—her final counterattack.
With a loud "bang," the Chaos Sphere collided with the black-clad man's spiritual energy shield, releasing astonishing energy fluctuations.
Both of them were thrown back by the force, crashing heavily to the ground like falling leaves.
Lu Lingxi Yao had exhausted her last bit of strength and lay on the ground, unable to move.
This was her first attempt at spiritual energy fusion, and she never expected to gain such terrifying power, but it also brought her fatal damage.
The man in black, though also severely injured, was in much better condition than Lu Lingxi.
He stared at Lu Lingxi in shock. To his surprise, this young man was a genius of all five elements, risking his life to use spiritual power fusion. He knew that the five elements of spiritual power were mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. If they were forcibly fused, the slightest mistake would result in the body exploding and the person dying. Ordinary people would not risk using such a method.
He stood up, dusted himself off, and his eyes flickered with complex emotions.
Although this boy is young, he has immense potential and, given time, will surely become his formidable rival.
But at this moment, he must end this battle as soon as possible and end the boy's life.
He walked up to Lu Lingxi Yao, looked down at her, a cold smile playing on his lips, and slowly said, "Little one, your talent is indeed remarkable, but unfortunately, you are destined not to see tomorrow's sun!"
Faced with this death threat, Lu Lingxi's lips did not tremble; instead, a playful smile appeared on her face. "Is that so? Come out! Demon Blood Vine."
As the words fell, a subtle ripple spread through the air, and then a boy who looked to be seven or eight years old appeared out of thin air and stood beside Lu Lingxi.
He possessed exquisite features, with a pair of blood-red eyes that seemed to see into people's hearts. A half-smile played on his lips, and he exuded an extremely sinister aura that sent chills down one's spine.
The little boy frowned slightly, a hint of reproach in his eyes: "Master, you finally remembered me."
Although there was a hint of complaint in his words, his tone was exceptionally pleasant, possessing an indescribable charm.
However, Lu Lingxi did not show him any tenderness, but coldly commanded, her voice calm and resolute, without the slightest hesitation.
"Stop talking nonsense and kill him."
After speaking, Lu Lingxi Yao struggled to sit up, closed her eyes and focused her mind, beginning to adjust her inner energy, clearly entrusting the upcoming battle entirely to the Demon Blood Vine beside her.
The appearance of the little boy made the black-clad man, who was already considering retreating, feel even more apprehensive.
He knew that the existing spatial artifacts could not contain living beings. The child in front of him was not human, but a spirit beast that could transform into human form, at least at the level of a divine beast. After the previous fierce battle, he was exhausted and powerless to fight against the divine beast.
Just as he was plotting his escape, a blood-red vine ripped through the air like lightning, instantly wrapping around his body. It then rapidly multiplied and multiplied, binding him tightly with countless vines, rendering him unable to move.
"Damn it!"
The man in black roared, but his struggles only made the vines tighten their grip. Sharp barbs sprouted from the tips of the vines, piercing deep into his skin and directly into his blood vessels, greedily devouring his blood.
With painful groans, his life force was gradually drained until he turned into a withered corpse. Only then did the Demon Blood Vine slowly retract its tendrils, and then everything returned to calm.
When Lu Lingxi opened her eyes again, a hint of surprise quietly crept into her heart. The surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations seemed to become more active because of this moment. She keenly sensed that the power originating from her contracted partner had undergone a qualitative leap.
In the brief moment she closed her eyes to meditate, the Demon Blood Vine broke through to the fourth level of Divine Beast. Its growth rate was astonishing, and she also benefited and advanced to the ninth level of Spirit Sect.
As Lu Lingxi's inner energy stabilized, the Demon Blood Vine seemed to sense its master's awakening, waving its arms and running towards Lu Lingxi. Perhaps because of the breakthrough, it jumped and bounced excitedly at every touch.
This was the first time Lu Lingxi had seen the Demon Blood Vine transform into human form since it formed a contract with her. Looking at the lively and adorable little creature in front of her, she couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke its soft head, whispering, "Thank you for your hard work!"
Demon Blood Vine took Lu Lingxi Yao's arm and spoke in an almost coquettish tone, her clear eyes filled with anticipation.
"Master, look, even that wolf has its own name. I want one too."
Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi suddenly remembered that after contracting the Demon Blood Vine, she threw it into her spatial storage, and she had completely forgotten about it.
A sense of apology welled up within her, and she smiled awkwardly. After thinking for a while, she still couldn't come up with a good name. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind: since the Demon Blood Vine was contracted in the Phantom Forest, she might as well use the place name as its name.
"Uh... how about I call you 'Phantom' from now on?"
Upon hearing its name, the Blood Vine was so excited it almost jumped for joy. It cheered, "Yay! I finally have a name! Let's see if that dead wolf dares to laugh at me again, hmph!"
Having said that, it couldn't wait to return to its spatial dimension and boast about its name to the Gale Wolf...
