Chapter 284: Yu Xin gained new abilities after the upgrade. At a certain moment after the system upgrade was completed, silver lines suddenly lit up. Yu Xin's hair moved without wind, her little face turned slightly pale, and her brows were furrowed.
Ye Lang understood that this was a bottleneck, so he gently held Yu Xin's hand and slowly injected a stream of energy into her to stabilize her turbulent soul flow.
As expected, with a crackling sound, the invisible bottleneck shattered, and the silver lines receded like the tide, replaced by a diamond-shaped mark standing upright between the eyebrows, faintly flowing with starlight.
The little girl suddenly opened her eyes, and the stars seemed to be turning upside down in her eyes, and the air around her was rippling slightly.
Ye Lang sensed the qualitative change in her soul field, and that aura quietly entered a new level, faintly in harmony with the rhythm of heaven and earth.
He was certain in his heart that this "key" had finally begun to show its potential.
Yu Xin's breath gradually calmed down, and the diamond-shaped mark disappeared between her eyebrows. Then she spoke excitedly:
"Brother-in-law, I've been promoted to a second-level psychic. I feel so comfortable."
Ye Lang nodded gently, his eyes still fixed on her brow. Although the diamond mark had disappeared, he could still vaguely sense its existence, like a star imprinted deep in his soul.
"Xiao Xin, activate your supernatural power and sense me."
Yu Xin closed her eyes and concentrated, her soul power spreading out like a thread, instantly covering Ye Lang's whole body. After a long while, she opened her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes:
"Brother-in-law, I... still can't sense anything. You seem to have no soul at all, as if you are not in this world anymore."
She murmured, her brows furrowed slightly, her tone filled with disbelief.
Ye Lang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but a gleam of brilliance flashed across his eyes.
"Xiao Xin, have you gained any new abilities or improvements since your soul power was upgraded?"
Yu Xin blinked and tilted his head to think for a moment.
"I think I have a new ability. My soul sense can now extend many tentacles. It's a bit... disgusting. Huh~"
The little girl shrank her neck, feeling a little cold.
"As for the improvement, I feel that both the range of soul perception and the texture have been greatly enhanced."
Ye Lang nodded, his eyes slightly darker. Soul tentacles?
Without hesitation, he asked Zhao Lang to find an inner disciple.
After explaining the dangers and rewards to him, the disciple agreed without hesitation.
Ye Lang signaled Yu Xin to try to use his soul tentacles to detect the other party.
Yu Xin took a deep breath, and his soul power spread quietly like a spider web. Several transparent tentacles stretched out gently, and the moment they touched the disciple, the other party trembled all over, cold sweat broke out, but he gritted his teeth and did not move.
Yu Xin suddenly opened her eyes and exclaimed:
"Brother-in-law, I seem to see a lot of images flashing in his mind.
And... I feel like I should be able to control his soul, but it's difficult, like there's an invisible barrier preventing me from truly touching the core of his consciousness.
Every time I want to go deeper, my head feels a little swollen."
She rubbed her temples, her tone filled with a hint of reluctance and fatigue.
Ye Lang nodded, then asked the disciple if he had any abnormal reaction.
The disciple's face turned pale, and his voice trembled slightly:
"I... felt like my soul was touched by something, warm and sticky, like something was crawling inside my brain.
For a moment, it seemed like I couldn't control my body, but it was short-lived and I recovered in the next second."
Ye Lang's eyes flickered slightly, and after giving him ten level 2 crystal cores, he let him leave.
Ye Lang stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes as deep as the abyss.
Yu Xin's ability far exceeded expectations. His soul tentacles could not only spy on memory fragments, but also touch the threshold of controlling souls. Although he failed, the control for just a moment was enough to affect the battle situation.
Moreover, the human soul has a natural barrier that can resist external invasion. It is against heaven that she can leave traces under this barrier.
Ye Lang was horrified, but remained calm. If this ability developed, reading minds and stealing consciousness would be easy, and he could even plant a soul imprint invisibly, silently disintegrating the enemy's will.
