Regardless of the Zhao family's situation.
Meanwhile, the destroyer of this plane revealed his whereabouts, and Lu Yan received a message from Shao Lin to secretly deal with that person.
Lu Yan left, and Bai Wu, a tall and strong man, stayed by her side with his bodyguards, but they were all in hiding.
Xia Yixin suddenly felt that the entire villa was empty, but thankfully her stomach pain had subsided.
Lu Yan wasn't there, but her studies had to continue. Fortunately, it seemed like she had finally figured it out, and the probability of her making mistakes on math tests was getting lower and lower.
A week later, Xia Yixin went to the school to take the entrance exam, as agreed with the school beforehand.
Although her math score was slightly lower, her grades in other subjects were excellent, and she was eventually placed in Class 1. In another month, she will be able to enter the senior year with the other junior students.
Having finally solved the first task, Xia Yixin was finally able to escape the sea of problems and catch her breath.
Lu Yan's message was still the last one she received last night before she fell asleep: "Focus on your exams, I'll be back by the day after tomorrow at the latest."
She sighed softly.
Actually, she really wished to stand shoulder to shoulder with him rather than be protected by him. The feeling of helplessness she felt now was the same as when she was lying in a hospital bed and even her right to die was taken away from her. She didn't like it.
Although she knew she was overthinking it, but...
She's not strong enough yet.
At this moment, the system suddenly spoke up, "Host, in terms of physical abilities, you are already unmatched in this entire plane, except for K from the newly emerged fourteenth plane. His mental power is indeed very strong, and he can manipulate people's minds. But you are not without ways to improve..."
The system's words made Xia Yixin's eyes light up. "What do you mean?"
"Mental strength, as the name suggests, is the energy body formed by the spirit. It is different from the spiritual power in your body. It is mostly without consciousness and is mostly manifested in many post-apocalyptic superpower planes. It is divided into three stages: destruction, defense, and guidance. Your current demonic bloodline has been improved in all aspects, so your mental strength will also increase. It is currently 80 points, which is already 50 points higher than the average person. However, the destruction stage requires at least 500 points."
The system paused for a moment, then said, "You'll probably only be able to achieve this when your demonic bloodline reaches the eighth stage."
She's only in the second stage now; the eighth stage requires at least hundreds of thousands of points, which is impossible even if she overdraws them.
"So you're saying all this is useful?" Xia Yixin chuckled.
"You can actually look for this in the points shop, host. I remember there are some that can train your mental strength. As for weapons, you can use them as long as they don't have supernatural attributes."
The system's words made Xia Yixin's eyes light up.
How could she forget about the all-powerful points mall!
Sure enough, after flipping through thousands of pages, she found what she was looking for.
It was afternoon, and the warm rays of the setting sun shone into the room through the window. The slender, tall girl held out her right hand, and as she slowly opened her phoenix eyes, a silver spear, like her Shangxie, was made of Xuan Tie Jingang. It gleamed with golden light and exuded an aura of dominance.
The spear is five feet seven inches long, but very light, weighing only thirty pounds. However, its blade is sharp and deadly; a single touch will kill. Moreover, the spear is shrouded in visible black smoke, which is the result of the countless vengeful spirits that have been killed by this spear. It is precisely for this reason that it has the power to attack spirits.
"Ding! The host has successfully exchanged for a green-grade soul weapon—the Black Yama Spear—and activated the mental power attribute. The current attribute value is 80. Ten thousand points have been consumed, and the current total points are -4000. If the host cannot repay the points before leaving this plane, the host will be immediately eliminated," the system notification stated.
The system added quietly, "Host, you must be careful. Since this Black Yama Spear can train your mental strength, it will affect your mind. Only by strengthening your mental strength can you control it. Those with weak willpower will be haunted by vengeful spirits and suffer from nightmares."
As Xia Yixin gripped the Black Yama Spear, she indeed felt a strange surge of murderous intent within her, along with an untamed power, like a ferocious tiger roaring and trying to break free of its restraints. The resentment entwined around the spear was also surging violently.
But it was quickly suppressed by her own mental and spiritual power.
Indeed, there are both advantages and disadvantages.
Xia Yixin tested the Black Yama Spear little by little, and after a while she discovered the key: maintaining a balanced mindset. The more determined one's will is, the less easily one is influenced. Moreover, her mental strength did indeed improve as she practiced the spear technique.
Xia Yixin knew she couldn't let her guard down, because the Black Yama Spear was still unstained with blood.
The system had warned her to be extra careful when the gun was stained with blood.
The Black Yama Spear has another advantage: it can be shortened to the length of a dagger. The vengeful spirits wrapped around it are actually a good way to punish evildoers, immersing them in nightmares created by their conscience.
Haste makes waste.
Her training ground, which is also the main space, has a different time flow than outside; it's paused. After practicing for a while, she put away Black Yama, deciding not to use this "double-edged sword" unless absolutely necessary.
In just three hours of practice, I've managed to get a basic grasp of this new weapon.
Before leaving the main space, the system watched Xia Yixin put away Black Yama and couldn't help but ask, "Host, I've heard other systems say that their hosts are ruthless. In this world, since you've already met Lu Yan, and he's so strong, why did you still insist on..."
"System, have you ever experienced what it feels like to entrust your fate and life to someone else?"
"..." The system immediately understood. It knew that this girl's soul contained an indomitable spirit and a strong will, all of which stemmed from her past experience of being in the lowest point of despair.
“He wants to protect me, and I want to protect him too. Improving my abilities is the best option for me right now.” Xia Yixin found an answer.
The system encouraged, "Host, keep it up! As your system, the only thing I can do is enable the multi-dungeon mode for you. This plane was originally D-level, with few dungeon missions, but since it is a combined plane, you can choose to do dungeon missions from other planes. I have already granted you the permission."
"Hmm, it seems you're not completely useless after all," Xia Yixin sighed.
"...Hmph~" The system had unknowingly become arrogant as well.
With plenty of dungeon quests to do, Xia Yixin was completely relieved.
She completely disregarded Lu Yan's previous warnings.
She couldn't post about the entrance exam on Weibo anymore, but she did interact with her fans a bit. However, recently, her fan club member "Rabbit Jack" has disappeared.
Meanwhile, Su Yan is currently recording her new album, which in the original novel will elevate her to a new level and is also the starting point for her relationship with the second male lead, Yan Yiran.
Judging from the fact that Su Yan occasionally added the phrase "that brooding guy" to her WeChat messages, Yan Yiran is a cool idol, but in reality, he's a loyal and devoted puppy.
Knowing that Lu Yan would be back soon, she went to the mall to buy the things she had been wanting to buy, all sorts of couple items, clothes, shoes, socks, and even underwear.
In the lingerie store, she even bought a special outfit, and her face turned even redder as she thought about how someone would look when they got back.
However, an email arrived even before Lu Yan returned.
