After finishing his meal, Li Xuanzu did not leave, but watched Fu Yu absorb the spiritual core.
He hadn't tried what would happen if someone directly absorbed a spirit core, so to be on the safe side, it was better to keep an eye on it himself.
Absorbing first- and second-tier spirit cores was very easy, and the process was over in less than five minutes.
Fu Yu felt a sense of unreality as she experienced the energy within her body.
So this makes me a second-tier psionicist?
However, before she could get into her imagination, Li Xuanzu reminded her that it was time to absorb the third-tier spirit core.
Fu Yu then realized what was happening and grabbed the third-tier spirit core to begin absorbing it.
However, there were some minor issues this time.
Her body was frighteningly red, as if it had been soaked in blood.
No, it really is stained with blood!
Li Xuanzu grabbed her hand, and felt a sticky sensation on it, with a fishy smell.
He then used his divine sense to examine her body more closely and found that many blood vessels had ruptured and blood was constantly seeping from her skin.
The energy belonging to the third-order spirit core was constantly impacting her body.
In fact, Li Xuanzu didn't need to intervene. Once the pain subsided, the energy would heal the injuries on its own. However, Li Xuanzu was unaware of this, so he intervened directly and suppressed the energy.
Fu Yu, who had fainted due to excessive blood loss, woke up again. The thing she had imagined—becoming a third-tier psionicist—did not happen, and the energy level in her body remained at the second tier.
At this moment, her vision was blurred, and all she could see was red.
Blood flowed into her eyes.
"Don't move around, there's something wrong, but it'll be fine in a moment," Li Xuanzu said seriously.
Fu Yu saw that she was covered in blood, closed her eyes, and wondered if she had fainted.
Logically speaking, there are only two ways for a second-tier psionicist to become a third-tier psionicist.
First, it's simple and brutal: frantically absorb first and second-tier spirit cores of the same kind, and quantitative change leads to qualitative change, relying on quantity to reach the third tier.
Second, directly absorb a third-tier spirit core to break through to the third tier.
However, the second method seems to have a prerequisite: it requires a certain amount of energy.
The psychic energy within a psychic's body is constantly nourishing their physique, and someone like Fu Yu, who jumped three levels in a row, couldn't keep up with it.
However, the energy of this third-tier spirit core was not particularly powerful, not enough to burst all of Fu Yu's blood vessels.
Li Xuanzu guided the ball of third-tier energy, allowing it to absorb the excess energy, and then began to repair Fu Yu's body.
First the ruptured blood vessels, then the torn skin, all recovered to about 70-80% in a short time.
But Fu Yu hasn't woken up yet, and the blood she lost can't be replenished so quickly.
By nightfall, it was completely dark.
"Ugh, I'm dizzy. Where am I?" Fu Yu opened her eyes and found herself lying in bed.
She had also changed her clothes.
Looking at the not-so-soft mattress beneath her and then at her clean clothes, Fu Yu suddenly had a bad thought.
Li Xuanzu, he wouldn't...
"Brother, Sister Fu Yu is awake." Fu Yu's voice was a bit loud as she got up, and Qian Li, who had been waiting at the door, called out to the hall.
When Fu Yu walked out of the room, her face was completely red, and she dared not look directly at Li Xuanzu.
"You don't think I changed your clothes and put you on the bed, do you?" Li Xuanzu was speechless.
"Huh? Isn't that right? Then..." Fu Yu was startled and looked at Qian Li beside her.
"It's me," Qian Li answered truthfully.
Then, a deathly silence fell over the room.
It wasn't until Li Xuanzu looked Fu Yu up and down that someone spoke.
"What...what kind of look is that?" Fu Yu noticed Li Xuanzu's gaze and became somewhat exasperated.
"No, I was just wondering what could have made you misunderstand my taste." Li Xuanzu withdrew his gaze, and without waiting for Fu Yu's reply, took Qian Li back.
"Ahhh, what do you mean? Come back!" Fu Yu was furious again. She was actually quite pretty, though not a beauty, but her youthful charm was quite appealing.
"I'm so angry!" Fu Yu stomped her foot. She wanted to go to the refrigerator to get some food, but when she thought of Li Xuanzu's gaze, she withdrew her hand.
"I'm not eating anymore, I'm going to sleep!" As if in a fit of pique, she slammed the refrigerator door shut.
As for why Li Xuanzu was in the mood to joke, it was because he had an extra third-tier psionicist as an assistant, which put him in a good mood.
