A magical journey of a sharp-tongued woman and a goofy man

"What is the mission?" Ye Shuli stared at the trial officer, her tone calm but carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension.

In the center of the trial grounds, she stood out like a crane among chickens, the surging spiritual energy around her like dancing ribbons, making her even more dazzling.

All eyes were on her, filled with envy, jealousy, and anticipation; the atmosphere was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring.

Ye Shuli took a deep breath, feeling the spiritual energy permeating the air, and her heart beat slightly faster.

Becoming the Spirit King had always been her goal, and now that she had finally achieved it, she was naturally overjoyed.

But at the same time, a strange sense of unease also began to grow.

The Spirit King Trial was no child's play, and she didn't know what challenges she would face next; this unknown made her uneasy.

Just then, she felt several malicious gazes, like venomous snakes, tightly coiling around her.

She glanced sideways and saw several joint trial participants gathered together, pointing and whispering at her with sinister smiles on their faces.

"Tch, so what if he got lucky? Does he really think he's invincible?" a short, stout trial participant said sarcastically.

“That’s right, we must teach her a lesson this time!” another tall trial participant chimed in, his eyes gleaming with malice.

Ye Shuli took in all these words and her brows furrowed slightly.

She had long anticipated that the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind, and that her success would inevitably attract jealousy and hostility.

These joint trial participants were clearly unwilling to be surpassed by her and wanted to take this opportunity to give her a hard time.

The surrounding psionic energy seemed to sense Ye Shuli's emotional fluctuations and became uneasy, bubbling like boiling water.

Ye Shuli's lips curled into a cold smile. Did she want to embarrass her?

Let's see who the real joke is!

The trial officer cleared his throat and slowly began, "This trial mission..." He paused deliberately, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Ye Shuli, "is called 'The Challenge of the Psychic Beast'."

As soon as the trial officer finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in an uproar.

The challenge of psionic behemoths?

That was one of the most dangerous tasks in the Spirit King Trials!

The challenge area is riddled with psionic traps; a moment's carelessness could result in being torn to shreds by the powerful psionic energy.

Even more terrifying is that a new type of psionic behemoth is lurking in the center of the region. It is incredibly fast and can even become invisible, making it seem like a bug in the system.

The other trial participants pulled out their most prized possessions: protective shields, psionic detectors, high-grade healing potions...

They wished they could bring all their belongings over.

Only Ye Shuli remained alone, holding only a dagger condensed from spiritual energy, gleaming with a faint blue light.

"Wow, this girl is way too confident! Just a dagger? Is she cosplaying Li Xunhuan's Flying Dagger?" one of the joint trial participants couldn't help but complain.

"He's probably scared out of his wits, haha, just wait and see!" another trial participant laughed gleefully.

Ye Shuli ignored these comments and simply glanced at them indifferently. What do a bunch of newbies know?

This is called being highly skilled and daring!

Upon entering the mission area, the surrounding scenery changed abruptly.

The once empty training ground has been transformed into a misty forest, with eerie psionic fluctuations permeating the air.

Ye Shuli had only taken a few steps when she felt a gust of wind rushing towards her!

"Whoosh!"

A dark shadow flashed past her, moving so fast that it was almost impossible to see with the naked eye.

Ye Shuli's hair was lifted up, and a few strands fell to the ground.

"Such speed!" Ye Shuli was secretly astonished. This psionic creature truly lived up to its reputation!

She immediately activated her psychic perception, and the surrounding psychic fluctuations became instantly clear.

She could sense that the psionic creature was constantly circling around her, looking for an opportunity to attack.

"call out!"

Another attack! Ye Shuli barely dodged it, but her clothes were torn open.

"Tsk, she's quite troublesome." Ye Shuli licked her lips.

Just then, the ground beneath her feet suddenly lit up with a red light! A psionic trap had been triggered!

"boom!"

The powerful psionic shockwave sent Ye Shuli flying.

"Haha, serves them right!" The joint trial participants burst into laughter upon seeing this.

However, their laughter didn't last long before it abruptly stopped.

Ye Shuli landed steadily on the ground, dusted herself off, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

Just as another attack was about to strike, she suddenly turned around and stabbed the psionic creature with pinpoint accuracy!

"laugh--"

With a soft sound, the dagger pierced the psionic creature's body.

The surrounding psionic energy trembled, and the joint trial participants all showed expressions of astonishment.

"How is this possible..." The spiritual energy on Ye Shuli's dagger was like a bone-deep infection, seeping into the body of the spiritual energy beast through the wound and destroying its spiritual energy core.

The behemoth let out a mournful roar, its massive body crashing to the ground and dissipating into specks of starlight.

A crystal-clear psionic crystal lay quietly where the giant beast had vanished, emitting a soft glow.

"What?! This actually works?" The joint trial participants were dumbfounded, their jaws practically dropping to the ground.

The speed and stealth of this new psionic behemoth were practically a bug; they couldn't even hide in time, yet Ye Shuli single-handedly took it down.

This is too outrageous!

Ye Shuli walked to the psionic crystal, bent down and picked it up.

The crystal felt warm and smooth to the touch, and a powerful surge of spiritual energy instantly flowed into her body, like a sudden awakening, making her feel completely comfortable.

The surrounding psionic energy was also affected, shining brightly and enveloping her in a dazzling radiance, as if a goddess had descended.

The expressions of the joint trial participants grew even uglier, as jealousy and resentment gnawed at their hearts like venomous snakes.

"Why? Why is she so lucky?" the short, stout trial participant said through gritted teeth.

"Hmph, lucky? I think it's just pure luck!" the tall trial participant scoffed. "We'll see, next time you won't be so lucky!"

After absorbing the spiritual energy crystal, Ye Shuli's strength reached a new level.

She looked up ahead; her next target was the central area of ​​the trial space, where the ultimate reward of the trial was said to be hidden.

She started walking towards the center area.

However, she hadn't gone far when she sensed an unusual fluctuation of spiritual energy, like a ferocious beast lurking in the shadows, exuding a dangerous aura.

The surrounding psionic energy also became restless, as if responding to her vigilance.

"Heh, it seems someone is eager to kill me." Ye Shuli's lips curled into a cold smile. She saw through the tricks of the joint trial participants at a glance—they had set up a powerful spiritual energy seal on her inevitable path, trying to trap her!

The air around us seemed to freeze, filled with a tense atmosphere.

Ye Shuli stopped in her tracks and did not act rashly.

She reached out and gently touched the psionic energy flowing in the air, sensing the strength and structure of the seal.

“Interesting…” she said softly. Ye Shuli’s lips curled into a cold smile as her slender fingers traced complex trajectories in the air, like a conductor playing a mysterious melody.

The surrounding psionic energy began to fluctuate with her movements, as if it had been given life, dancing at her fingertips.

She's not one of those reckless brutes who only know how to fight head-on; the wisdom of modern people is no joke!

"This seal is full of flaws." Ye Shuli chuckled. She found a tiny flaw in the seal, as easy as finding a crack in tofu.

She guided a wisp of spiritual energy, like a fine thread passing through the gap, like a virus invading a system, and began to dismantle the sealed structure.

The joint trial participants hid in the shadows, wearing smug smiles.

"Hmph, let her be arrogant, let's see how she dies this time!" The short, fat trial participant rubbed his hands together, as if he could already see Ye Shuli's miserable state of being trapped.

However, their smiles froze on their faces before they could even bloom.

A flash of light appeared at the seal, and Ye Shuli appeared like a ghost, completely unharmed!

"What?!" The joint trial participants were dumbfounded, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"This is impossible!" the tall trial participant exclaimed, his jaw nearly dropping to the ground.

Ye Shuli dusted herself off and glanced at them with disdain, as if she were looking at a group of clowns.

"That's it? You dare to show off your meager skills before an expert?" She beckoned with her finger, her tone full of provocation. "Come on, continue!"

The participants in the joint trial looked at each other, their faces filled with shock and fear.

Their carefully laid trap was so easily broken by Ye Shuli!

This woman is simply unfathomable!

Ye Shuli ignored these useless people and turned to continue forward.

However, she hadn't gone far when she suddenly stopped.

The sight ahead sent a chill down her spine.

A massive psychic vortex appeared in her field of vision, like a black hole in the universe, emanating a chilling suction force.

The surrounding trees were swept into the vortex and instantly turned to dust.

"What the hell is this?" Ye Shuli squinted, feeling a powerful sense of oppression.

This vortex seems to conceal a great danger...

She slowly reached out her hand, wanting to touch that mysterious power.

Just then, a voice rang in her ear: "Be careful, it's in there..."
