Xiao Jin struggled for over a decade in the apocalypse before perishing with the Zombie King. To her surprise, she woke up, reborn into a world without zombies.
Before she could even bother w...
Unbeknownst to her, this blue energy began to gradually wash over Xiao Jin's body, changing her bones and muscles. In her mind, the transparent supernatural energy core shone with a faint light, and the cracks on it were slowly repaired.
Xiao Jin slept for three whole days.
As the light faded, it was dusk outside. Through the car window, the orange-red sunset was partially obscured, and the lush green wheat fields undulated with the breeze.
A ray of setting sun shone on Xiao Jin's face. Through the light, she appeared completely transformed. Her hair, which had always been medium-length, now reached her waist. Her skin, which had nearly burst open due to the energy surge, was now smooth and white, as if it had been reborn.
Xiao Jin's eyelashes, like meticulously crafted feather fans, grew thicker and deeper, and her facial features became more and more exquisite, with every line perfectly outlining a captivating picture.
In the past, Xiao Jin was already dazzlingly beautiful, but now, that radiance seems to have been subtly amplified by an invisible hand, making it almost impossible for people to look directly at her.
Because the furniture in the train has an automatic cleaning function, there was not a single trace of stains on the carpet under Xiao Jin's body. It was fluffy and smelled of the unique woody fragrance of the carriage.
And it was amidst this familiar atmosphere that Xiao Jin quietly opened her eyes.
Her thick eyelashes trembled slightly. When she opened her eyes, a blue light shone from the edge and then disappeared. Her pupils were as dark as ink, with a hint of light brown in the center.
Standing up, Xiao Jin took a deep breath. She clenched her fists, sensing the extra power within her body, and realized that she had never felt so relaxed before.
The black energy that had previously emanated from Jian Xiuyun seemed to have undergone an unusual change within her body.
Xiao Jin just lifted her foot to go to the bathroom when she found that her body involuntarily lurched out.
It all happened so fast that a loud "bang!" resounded, making the whole room seem to tremble. As the dust settled on the walls and everything returned to calm, Xiao Jin found himself embedded in the solid wall in an unbelievable way.
With a little effort, Xiao Jin pried herself out of the wall. She stood still, then looked down at her legs, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"What... is going on?" Xiao Jin muttered to himself.
Why am I going so fast that I can't control myself?
Xiao Jin tried touching the broken wall again, but miscalculated and slapped it instead of touching it, leaving a handprint on the wall.
Not only the speed, but the power has also increased several times over!
Xiao Jin thought about it and concluded that it must be due to the energy within her body. This energy had optimized her body, not only her strength and speed, but also her perception, which had been enhanced several times over.
She hasn't adapted to her current body yet, but once she fully adapts, her combat power will definitely experience a qualitative leap.
While Xiao Jin was deep in thought, the human-shaped dent on the wall had completely healed. She adjusted her posture and, after knocking over several pieces of furniture in the room, finally managed to enter the training ground.
There's plenty of space here, she can run around however she wants.
So for the next two hours, Xiao Jin worked hard to tame her unruly limbs in the training field. After hitting the wall countless times, she was finally able to control her body flexibly.
Only then did Xiao Jin realize that her bones and muscles had been strengthened to varying degrees. At least the blade of the Shattered Shadow could not leave any wounds on her body. Otherwise, if she had hit the wall like before, her bones would have been broken long ago.
Xiao Jin exerted a lot of effort to finally create a wound on his arm, but the wound healed in just a few seconds without leaving a scar.
With such terrifying regenerative abilities, Xiao Jin felt increasingly less human.
…………
Soaking in the bathtub, letting her body rise and fall in the water, Xiao Jin closed her eyes to rest, her head gently resting against the back of the bathtub.
The air was filled with mist, and her features were exquisitely beautiful.
Xiao Jin opened her eyes and glanced at the time; she had been unconscious for three days. She brought up the player panel and immediately saw a flood of unread messages in the background.
First, there's the reward from the previous dungeon run.
The main quest gives 500 points, the entrance exam gives 100, and the side quest at the altar gives 2000 points plus a bronze treasure chest. Xiao Jin is unsurprisingly at the top of the leaderboard this time, and then there are the rewards for completing the world background.
Back when Xiao Jin was taking Jian Xiuyun for a walk around the campus, she had already completed all the background progress. The reward was good; she not only received 1500 points but also three stones.
Yes, it is indeed a stone.
At least in Xiao Jin's previous view, these were just three ordinary stones, grayish-brown, about half the size of a palm, and solid when tapped, without crumbling.
It wasn't until later, when Xiao Jin saw the system's description, that she realized what 1500 points meant. She asked, "Could you please exchange them all for these stones?"
[Spirit Stone]
Rank: Beginner
Note: Absorbing this item will instantly restore 50 points of spiritual energy.
Sigh! Just because it's not called a stone doesn't mean a spirit stone deserves dignity!
Speaking of the uses of this basic spirit stone, we must mention the spirit power value. This is a new attribute that appeared on Xiao Jin's panel after she woke up. In addition to the spirit power value, Xiao Jin's panel is also very different from before.
The blue, semi-transparent panel had a golden pattern added to its edges. In the center of the panel, besides Xiao Jin's basic information, a pattern resembling an eye was faintly imprinted.
Xiao Jin initially thought the eyes were closed, but upon closer inspection, they were actually half-open, with a very thin slit below the eyelid that was barely visible unless one looked closely.
Let's take a look at Xiao Jin's player information.

Putting aside the terrifying points Xiao Jin received this time, the panel now displays four new items: health points, spiritual power points, mental power, and spiritual energy level.
Xiao Jin looked at the notification sent to her by the back-end system and found that while she was unconscious, the system notified her that her mental strength had reached the threshold and that the spiritual energy module would be activated for her soon.
The power that Xiao Jin felt within her body was her spiritual power.
