"First, what kind of girls are the most popular?"
Xie Zhou first posed a question.
"That goes without saying, of course it's good-looking women. Men are visual creatures, so if you're good-looking, you've already won half the battle."
The system pondered for a few seconds and then directly stated the result, which hit Xie Zhou right on the mark.
"Yes! You're a brilliant system, that's the correct answer!"
Xie Zhou clapped and cheered.
"But I'm so unattractive! Do you think I could make Luo Fantian fall head over heels for me and then abandon him? That's simply impossible!"
Xie Zhou pretended to be wronged.
"Well... what you said... seems to make sense..."
The system found itself unable to refute the argument.
"It's not 'seems like'! Please be more confident! Remove 'seems like'! With my looks, other men would run away from me! How could they possibly like me!"
Xie Zhou secretly felt a pang of regret.
"So, seduction is definitely out of the question. Now we need to think of a second method!"
Xie Zhou let out a long sigh of relief.
"Strong abilities, personal charm, and inner qualities! These are far more important than appearance! Besides, as my abilities grow, I will also become more and more beautiful! So, won't I then be a woman who is both powerful and beautiful!"
Xie Zhou rattled off a whole bunch of things, leaving the system somewhat bewildered.
"So that's how it is."
The system seemed to be thinking about it, and felt that what Xie Zhou said seemed to make a little bit of sense.
"Now that's settled, I've told you all my thoughts. Don't rush me anymore. I can just do more things to make him sad, right?"
Xie Zhou was secretly delighted.
"Okay, no problem. But if you go against this original intention, I won't let you off the hook."
The system was fanning itself with a small fan, its expression unusually serious, as if it were somewhat different from the systems of the past. No one knew why.
"Let's stop here for now. I still need to cultivate so that I can injure Luo Fantian all over as soon as possible. You agree, right?"
Xie Zhou smiled.
"Yes, you can begin. I won't disturb you any longer."
After a moment of contemplation, the system finally uttered those words.
"Alright, I heard my strength has improved, let me see."
Xie Zhou sat cross-legged on her soft little bed, feeling the energy constantly emanating from his body.
"I didn't realize I was this strong."
Xie Zhou murmured a sentence, hardly believing her own feelings.
The Great Perfection of the Fusion Realm! It really was the Great Perfection of the Fusion Realm, Xie Zhou was overjoyed.
"I must continue cultivating!"
Xie Zhou's continuous progress during this period fueled his growing enthusiasm for cultivation.
"After so many days of tireless cultivation, I think you should let your body relax, otherwise, might something go wrong?"
You Ruo said with concern.
"Don't worry, you guys are here. But I feel like I've reached a bottleneck. If I can break through this bottleneck tonight, maybe I can successfully advance!"
Xie Zhou took a long breath and silently cheered herself on.
"I can do it! I can do it!"
Xie Zhou said it twice in his mind.
"Yes! I can do it!"
After saying this, Xie Zhou began his cultivation journey with his eyes closed.
It seemed as if the spiritual energy from the outside world was being blocked by something, and it was unable to enter Xie Zhou's body, which made Xie Zhou extremely anxious.
"What's going on? Why does this spiritual energy seem to be resisting my body?"
This was a situation Xie Zhou had never encountered before, and now that he was facing it, he was naturally somewhat flustered.
"It's probably because your body has reached its limit in terms of the total amount of spiritual energy it can hold. If you don't break through, this spiritual energy will no longer be usable by your body."
The system gave Xie Zhou a reminder when he was confused.
How can I break through this barrier?
Xie Zhou asked another question.
"Everyone's breakthrough path is different. No one can use the methods of predecessors to break through. Therefore, the extent to which you can reach depends entirely on yourself."
The system sighed slightly when faced with this problem.
"I see. Okay then."
Xie Zhou sighed.
Since we can't break through directly, let's fight it head-on!
"I refuse to believe it! I can't break through to a higher realm tonight!"
Xie Zhou's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he immediately closed them.
Although he couldn't absorb external spiritual energy, Xie Zhou still circulated spiritual energy within his meridians in an attempt to break through.
"No, this still won't work!"
After a long while, Xie Zhou's body showed no change whatsoever.
"Could it be that there's something wrong with my method?"
Xie Zhou frowned, already feeling somewhat impatient.
"It's just the first level! How come it took me so long!"
When Xie Zhou was anxious, he used even more power.
In a daze, she seemed to have returned to her home before she transmigrated. A row of books was crookedly placed on her desk, and the computer was still on, with a half-finished book on it.
"What...what exactly is going on?"
"Come out for dinner! What are you waiting over there for?! Are you waiting for me to invite you out?!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice reached Xie Zhou's ears.
"Eat? Dad?"
Hearing that familiar voice, Xie Zhou felt a little dazed.
"Hurry up! The food's going to get cold if you don't eat soon!"
That's my mother's voice.
"Dad, Mom..."
Xie Zhou's eyes were a little moist.
"I'm here, Mom and Dad..."
Xie Zhou opened the door and took a step outside. Suddenly, she felt her foot slip and fell. The light receded further and further away from her, and all she could see was endless darkness.
"What...what's going on?"
Just a moment ago, she was being called to dinner by her parents. How did she end up here in an instant? Could she be dreaming?
The darkness didn't last long; soon, a demonic claw reached out towards Xie Zhou.
"What is that?!"
Xie Zhou leaped into the air.
From all directions, all sorts of claws kept reaching out to grab Xie Zhou.
"What are these things! What are all these things?!"
Xie Zhou kept dodging these claws.
"No! I was definitely at home just now! No! I was cultivating!"
"Where am I?! Where am I?!"
Xie Zhou had a headache; all sorts of memories were tangled together, making it impossible for her to tell which were real and which were illusions.
