Chapter 277 Settling scores with the Zhao family
Jiang Yuan smiled but didn't say anything.
"It's only been less than half a year since the college entrance exam ended, but it feels like so much has happened, like a long time has passed..."
Luo Xi took a sip of hot tea, leaned back in her chair with a sigh, and looked up at the sky, saying:
"If only peace could always be like this."
The night sky was vast, and the stars shone brightly.
Shooting stars occasionally streak across the night sky.
Everything appeared peaceful and tranquil, without any signs of extraterrestrial beings spying on it or the terror of the surrounding abyss.
Jiang Yuan glanced at the sky, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
Having ventured into the depths of the abyss, he now knew that beyond this dazzling and beautiful night sky lay not peace and tranquility, but an even more terrifying and chaotic endless abyss.
The mechanical maid looked at the two of them, her eyes flashing, and was about to say something when...
Luo Xi asked, "Hey, are you busy tomorrow?"
"Something's wrong, what's up?"
Luo Xi parted her lips slightly and said in a relaxed tone, "I was originally planning to ask you to come with me to farm some materials. But it's okay if you have something else to do."
After chatting for a few more minutes...
As Luo Xi left, she asked about Lin Qingyan with a pointed remark before departing.
"You and she seem to get along quite well?"
"she?"
"That cold-hearted woman."
"Lin Qingyan? Not bad, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. Good luck in the nation war."
After saying this, Luo Xi turned to leave, her purple hair swaying and brushing against Jiang Yuan's face, shimmering in the moonlight.
A hand grabbed Luo Xi's wrist.
She turned her head to look.
Something was stuffed into his mouth.
Before Luo Xi could react, it melted instantly upon entering her mouth, transforming into a wisp of divine energy that surged into her spiritual world. Within this spiritual realm, which resembled a purple sea, a golden lotus seemed to bloom, emanating a misty aura that strengthened her soul and nourished her spirit.
Luo Xi blinked her beautiful eyes, and her bewildered expression, combined with her alluring and stunning face, created a charmingly unexpected look.
"This is?"
"Why ask so many questions? It's something that can nourish the soul anyway." Jiang Yuan said, reaching out to touch Luo Xi's fair eyebrows, and a golden ripple spread out.
Luo Xi immediately felt as if her soul had been cleansed, impurities swept away by an incomparably pure and scorching aura, leaving her feeling extremely refreshed and full of energy.
"Your spiritual talent has been enhanced, probably by using that ancestral treasure, right? But some hidden dangers were left in the process, making your spiritual world very fragile."
Jiang Yuan looked down into the girl's eyes and said, "Go back and absorb it properly. Don't ignore the hidden dangers just because you're focused on leveling up."
Luo Xi touched her brow blankly, then smiled gently, like a flower blooming.
"You're showing concern for me?"
Before Jiang Yuan could speak...
A girl ranked in the top ten of the school's goddess list tiptoed and lightly kissed the corner of his mouth before turning and leaving, her eyes sparkling with spring-like affection. The boy lingered, reluctant to leave...
This romantic scene, however, was merely a figment of Luo Xi's imagination.
Just as she pouted and stood on tiptoe, about to approach Jiang Yuan.
Her fair and delicate oval face was pinched by a hand.
It was Guan Xiaoxiao who appeared just in time.
The mechanical maid said calmly with a cold expression, "Luo Xi, this is an academy. Please be mindful of your behavior."
"cut!"
Luo Xi, whose plans had been ruined, clicked her tongue and glared fiercely at Guan Xiaoxiao.
The mechanical maid is no less impressive. She was once insignificant compared to Luo Xi, a popular campus goddess, but now... she is stronger and is Jiang Yuan's personal maid, his exclusive possession, which is perfectly legitimate!
Their eyes met, as if there were flashing swords between them.
It didn't last long.
Luo Xi then left.
He hummed a song as he left, clearly in a very good mood.
……
Inside the house at night.
Jiang Yuan soaked in the spiritual liquid in the bathtub, took out the [Ring of Zeno], and carefully examined its attributes.
[Technology-based defensive equipment]
[Bracelet Type]
Physical Defense +800, Elemental Defense +800, Mental Defense +300
[First Skill - Zeno's Absolute Defense: Once released, it forms a giant white wall phantom located at the edge of space. Attacks against you will be absorbed by it. They may seem to hit you, but in reality, they can never be touched. Cooldown time: 24 hours]
[Second Skill - Counterattack Vector Impact: Continuously absorbs attacks and stores kinetic energy, unleashing a devastating vector impact when needed, capable of causing extremely astonishing damage.]
[Equipable Level: LV85]
"It's a good item, but unfortunately, its level isn't high enough."
Jiang Yuan sighed, tossed it into the system warehouse, then closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.
The body-tempering technique was also being practiced continuously, frantically absorbing the life energy from the spiritual liquid.
A faint glow between the eyebrows is a sign that the next immortal cell is about to be born.
……
Nothing was said that night, and the next day soon arrived.
Jiang Yuan went home and checked on Mo Xixi's condition.
She had awakened, her skin had become even whiter and more radiant, her hair cascaded down to her waist, her legs were long and slender, and she looked even taller and more beautiful.
When practicing boxing, every punch and kick makes a whistling sound.
Nourished by that rare and precious fourth-grade Dragon Blood Fruit, her Qi and Blood value successfully reached 75.7. Although she was still a first-level martial artist, she was far superior to others of the same level.
This is the foundation.
"Brother Yuan, the fruit you gave me is amazing! I feel like a completely different person, my body is so light!" Mo Xixi exclaimed excitedly.
"Hmm, not bad, about 50% of the medicine's effects have been absorbed," Jiang Yuan nodded.
Hearing his praise, Mo Xixi immediately raised her head proudly, "A genius's sister is of course a genius too! I'm going to be the Great Demon King!"
"Don't be too smug. With your current strength, in this Divine Martial Academy, let alone those students, there are plenty of younger siblings who can defeat your peers with one hand."
"I haven't awakened my talent yet, have I? Once I do, I'm sure I can rise to prominence just like you, Brother Yuan, and forge my own invincible path."
"Sometimes what makes someone strong isn't talent, but the person themselves... You'll understand when you get there."
"So now I can practice the Body Tempering Technique, right?" Mo Xixi asked coquettishly, shaking Jiang Yuan's arm.
"Body training, visualization, and breathing techniques need to be practiced simultaneously." Jiang Yuan took out the book "The Method of Visualizing the Bright Moon Over the Sea" and handed it to Mo Xixi. "You already have some basic knowledge of breathing techniques and body training. Now, the most important thing is to learn the visualization method so that your spirit and blood can achieve harmony and unity through breathing."
Jiang Yuan then spent the morning teaching Mo Xixi the basics of the "Moon Contemplation Method at Sea".
She sat cross-legged on the ground, her expression serene, her whole body enveloped in a pale blue halo.
Jiang Yuan nodded slightly.
Although she can be a bit arrogant at times, my cousin is indeed very talented.
If I didn't possess the two monstrous abilities, [Supreme Deduction] and [Infinite Amplification], I'd probably be inferior to her in terms of comprehension alone...
I saw him walk out of Mo Xixi's room.
Aunt Tao Yufeng smiled and said, "Your cultivation is over? Are you having dinner at home today? I cooked a five-colored pheasant..."
"No, Auntie, I have something to do and need to go out."
"What's the rush?" Tao Yufeng wanted to persuade her.
Uncle Mo Lingfeng came out and scolded, "What do you know? If Xiaoyuan says he has something to do, then he must have something to do. There's no time to eat, don't let it interfere with important matters."
After saying that, he said to Jiang Yuan with a gentle expression, "Go ahead and do your thing. Important matters are at stake. Come and have dinner again next time."
Jiang Yuan smiled and agreed.
After leaving home.
He summoned Lanlan, used spatial teleportation to instantly leave Shenwu Academy with her.
After leaving the academy, tear up another teleportation scroll.
Jiang Yuan appeared directly at Yuan Ling's home.
When Shen Gongyu and Ye saw him, they were first stunned, then excited and delighted.
"Gen-kun!"
"Owner."
We met again after a few days.
The fact that the two had already learned the Great Xia language surprised Jiang Yuan.
Since Yuan Ling wasn't there, Jiang Yuan didn't stay long; he sat for a while before leaving.
Night seemed reluctant to part: "Is Master leaving again?"
Jiang Yuan patted her little head and smiled, "This time you're going to fight, it won't take long, you'll be back soon."
The important thing he was going to do was, of course, to settle accounts with the Zhao family.
