The sky outside brightened and darkened again, and in the blink of an eye, seven transformations had passed. All the crystal cores inside the room had already been absorbed by Lin Ruo.
Lin Ruo, inside the ice cocoon, had a hard, black outer shell. This was the impurities expelled from her body, frozen to her body by the extreme cold, completely enveloping her, not even a single hair was spared.
If it weren't for the slight cracks and undulations on the black shell, one would really think it was a black statue.
Now, the statue has begun to crumble, and tiny cracks are constantly appearing on its outer black shell as it falls rapidly. The outermost layer of ice cocoon is also slowly melting away.
At the same time, the ice outside the fortress began to recede towards it. Afu and the others guarding outside immediately brightened up. Their master had completed the upgrade, and their anxious hearts finally settled down.
They dare not go any further, as the ice has not completely receded.
Lin Ruo opened her eyes amidst the fallen debris, feeling the abundant energy slowly flowing through her body. She breathed a sigh of relief, then smelled that familiar stench again. Her expression tightened, and she quickly collected the black residue into a large bag and threw it into her spatial storage.
She then rushed into the bathroom to take a shower. More than half an hour later, Lin Ruo finally felt better in her nose and came out of the bathroom.
By this time, the ice inside the fortress had all dissipated, and Afu and the other five were all waiting obediently in the living room, wanting to see how Lin Ruo was doing.
After Lin Ruo came out, she habitually looked at the digital clock on the wall. The time was clearly displayed. This time, it took her seven days to upgrade. Seeing the worried expressions on the faces of the family members, she could imagine how they must have felt these past few days.
Seeing Lin Ruo emerge from the bathroom unharmed, all five of them rushed forward, wanting to get close to her, especially the three fluffy ones at home, whose big ears were tucked into airplane ears and whose tails swayed left and right.
Ah Liu and Lao Bai's willow branches only lightly wrapped around Lin Ruo's wrist, the tender leaves rubbing against her skin.
Lin Ruo's upgrade had never taken this long before, and this time it really worried them, as they still couldn't get in.
"Okay, I'm really fine. When it comes to upgrading your superpowers, the higher the level, the longer it will take. Don't worry."
After finally calming down all the animals at home, Lin Ruo had time to check how her abilities had improved after this upgrade.
First, she focused on her mental energy. Lin Ruo closed her eyes and released her spatial domain with all her might. White light flashed around her body, and then her spatial domain expanded, directly extending to a range of 2 kilometers. The area covered by her mental energy also increased to 15 kilometers.
Lin Ruomei's eyes were full of joy. Although she almost couldn't withstand the upgrade of her mental strength this time, the improvement in her mental strength was still very gratifying, as it had actually doubled!
After the initial surprise, Lin Ruo suppressed her emotions and used her mental energy to contact the blue crystal core in her mind. Immediately, she recalled the progress she had made after this upgrade. Her water-based abilities had a wider range of effects, and even the temperature of her ice was much lower than before. She took out the black jade crystal slab from her spatial storage and raised her hand, sending a huge ice spike directly into the slab.
After a loud "boom", Lin Ruo looked at the stone slab. There was a clear dent on the stone slab. Her eyes lit up. Now the hardness of the ice she had condensed was comparable to that of the black jade crystal!
Overjoyed, she then realized that the new ability of her water-based superpower was materialization!
The explanation for this superpower is simple: by manipulating this power, one can materialize any part of their body into water.
Lin Ruo stood up, turned around and walked to the bathroom mirror. With a thought, she activated her water-based ability, and her entire head turned into flowing water. She still retained her clear facial features. She reached into the water and touched it carefully, but there was nothing inside, only water.
The next second she returned to her original form, then she raised her hand and activated her power again, her hand turning into water.
A flash of blue light appeared in her palm, and an ice blade appeared in her hand. She stabbed it fiercely at her other hand, which had turned into water. The ice blade easily pierced through, and Lin Ruo did not feel any pain. When the dagger was pulled out, the water that had been pushed away by the dagger returned to its original state.
Lin Ruo withdrew her materialization ability, raised her hand in front of her, and there wasn't a single scratch on it!
She was overjoyed. With this ability, she could manipulate matter to dodge any attack at will.
Her current level of superpower is far ahead of other superpowered individuals, but it doesn't completely guarantee that she won't be attacked. With this skill, it's difficult for others to hurt her.
Although this ability cannot be applied to the whole body yet, Lin Ruo felt that as long as she practiced hard, it was not entirely impossible.
After the initial joy, filled with excitement, she used her mental energy to contact the white crystal core in her mind.
This time, her spatial ability was upgraded, but the static space within her space remained unchanged. However, her life space expanded to twice its previous size, meaning that her life space now covers a full 12,000 acres.
The space was still divided into three parts. Looking at the boundless black soil and the spatial lake, Lin Ruo felt troubled for the first time. What should be planted in such a large place?
She first planted grain on all the remaining black soil. Although there was still plenty of grain in the space, she couldn't let the black soil lie idle; that would be too wasteful.
Her eyes flickered, wondering if she would be able to enter the space after the upgrade.
She tried to enter the space by channeling her spiritual power, but an invisible membrane blocked her way. Her eyes brightened slightly. She had never sensed this membrane before when she tried to enter the space but couldn't. What was going on?
If this membrane is torn open, will she be able to enter the space?
Lin Ruo tried to cast a spatial domain around herself, but her spatial domain could only control this space, while her own life space was located in her spatial crystal core, belonging to two dimensions. Her spatial domain could not reach it at all, let alone tear off that membrane.
She put away her spatial domain, feeling somewhat disappointed, but then her confidence was rekindled. This time she could see the thin membrane, and perhaps when it was upgraded again, she would be able to pass through it.
Having made up her mind, she once again probed the life space with her spiritual power, wanting to see what specific changes had occurred within it.
Her spiritual power swept across the black soil, and she clearly sensed that the energy in the black soil was much greater than before, as was the energy in the lake water.
She was planning to replace all the soil in Ah Liu and the old white tree pit with new black soil later.
