Ning Yanlan looked helpless after hearing this, but Xiao Xin seemed to be in high spirits and showed no sign of stopping, continuing to "punch" Jiang Yuan's legs for the sake of the doll.
"How about I give you a massage instead?" Ning Yanlan couldn't suppress the fluttering in her heart when she saw Jiang Yuan's expression of enjoyment.
"What massage? I was testing Xiao Xin's strength!" Jiang Yuan stubbornly refused to admit it.
Ning Yanlan looked at Jiang Yuan with disdain. This guy wasn't testing Xiao Xin's strength at all; he was clearly enjoying a massage from the substitute doll.
"Brother Jiang Yuan, I can't hold on any longer!" The substitute doll actually spoke, but the voice belonged to Xiao Xin.
Jiang Yuan was very satisfied with this; it was already quite remarkable that they were able to communicate using substitute dolls in such a short time.
"It's alright, just hang in there!" Jiang Yuan said calmly.
Ning Yanlan's eyes widened in disbelief. This person was too cruel! The child said she couldn't hold on any longer, yet she was still being told to keep going. However, thinking that it might just be to let Xiao Xin hold on for a little while, she didn't stop her.
Five minutes passed quickly, and the substitute doll's movements became slower and slower, while Xiao Xin herself was sweating profusely.
"Maybe we should just forget about it!" Ning Yanlan said, unable to bear it.
“I listened to you last time, but this time you have to listen to me!” Jiang Yuan refused. When Xiao Xin was awakened, Ning Yanlan said that she was a child and did not let her bear the consequences of the backlash of her talent alone, but now that she has been awakened, she has to learn to bear it herself.
"Brother Jiang Yuan, can you stop? I'm not feeling well!" Xiao Xin's voice became weak.
Jiang Yuan used his Heavenly Eye to check Xiao Xin's condition and found that she was still normal, so he said coldly, "Didn't you say you were going to protect Mom?"
"That's it? What are you going to use to protect it!" Jiang Yuan said sarcastically.
Xiao Xin didn't seem to realize that these were sarcastic remarks, but when she heard that she was supposed to protect her mother, her eyes hardened again. "I can do it!"
The substitute doll had grown a little at this moment. It was now one meter tall, and its appearance had also changed. The fabric of its clothes was engraved with many patterns, just like the patterns that had appeared on the Holy Spirit Beast before.
However, the patterns on the Holy Spirit Beast are naturally formed, while those on the Substitute Battle Doll seem to be artificially carved. In addition, the patterns on the Substitute Battle Doll carry soul energy, which immediately lowers its quality.
Despite its low grade, it still shares similarities with the patterns on the Holy Spirit Beast. The seemingly soft fabric becomes tough under the support of soul energy, and its hardness and toughness are no less than those of the flesh.
Under Ning Yanlan's frantic gaze, Xiao Xin persevered for another ten minutes. Jiang Yuan also closely monitored the changes in Xiao Xin with his Heavenly Eye. "Yanlan, give her another Holy Spirit Stone!"
"Huh?" Ning Yanlan didn't understand at first. What did it mean to add a Holy Spirit Stone?
"She's just exhausted her soul energy, not that she can't hold on any longer!" Jiang Yuan said calmly.
"How could that be? Xiao Xin can't hold on any longer, let her rest!" Ning Yanlan was about to go up and pull Xiao Xin up.
"Don't worry! I've been watching her the whole time. The soul energy in her mind is at its most active state right now. If you interrupt her now, you'll only deprive her of an opportunity to grow!"
After Jiang Yuan spoke, Ning Yanlan really didn't dare to move recklessly. Getting injured was a minor matter, but having her growth in strength blocked was a much bigger problem.
So, Ning Yanlan took out a Holy Spirit Stone.
Xiao Xin didn't know how to use the Holy Spirit Stone, but when she grabbed it, a surge of energy flowed into her body and then gathered in her mind.
The substitute doll was already 1.5 meters tall, and it had changed again in Jiang Yuan's Sky Eye.
"Substitute Doll (Minor Completion), Level: Excellent, can fight in place of the user by injecting soul energy, soul energy range: one to ten."
Previously, the substitute dolls did not exhibit a range of soul energy, but now that they have reached a minor completion state, they have specific indicators.
Based on Jiang Yuan's experience, this substitute doll is of a high quality; if a comparison were to be made, it would be at least a treasure of the same level as the psionic bracelet.
The substitute doll's attacks became sharper, but they still didn't hurt Jiang Yuan much. However, to show respect, Jiang Yuan still attacked the substitute doll.
Ning Yanlan was relieved to see this. Actually, she was quite worried that Jiang Yuan and Xiao Xin would not be able to get along peacefully, but now it was clear that she had worried too much.
"We're like a family." This thought suddenly popped into Ning Yanlan's mind. She chuckled to herself, "If I could be with this guy, our family would be just as happy in the future!"
Xiao Xin's intervention made her understanding of soul energy more thorough. With the addition of the energy from a Holy Spirit Stone, her soul energy has risen to 1.9, just one step away from becoming a true first-tier soul energy system.
"call!"
Finally, the battle ended when Xiao Xin could no longer hold on.
The substitute doll fell to the ground with a thud, turning back into a lifeless doll.
"I haven't reached Tier 1 yet!" Jiang Yuan said calmly. There's a difference between 1.9 and 2.9. "I still need to work harder!"
Ning Yanlan glared at Jiang Yuan, then said, "It's alright, you've already done great. Just take your time with your cultivation!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan lost his temper. He suddenly realized that the older sister in front of him was really taking her time with her cultivation. She would find a place with abundant energy, take a nap, and her spiritual energy would automatically increase. That feeling was much more comfortable than working hard.
"Brother Jiang Yuan, am I really useless?" Xiao Xin's pretty face turned pale.
"Um!"
Jiang Yuangang had just finished speaking when Ning Yanlan's expression was full of threat, so he had to change his tune, "Compared to your sister Yanlan, you are indeed a bit weak! However, compared to brother Jiang Yuan, you are great!"
