My talent panel can be increased.

Chapter 172 This place is already full!
A verdant figure pierced through the raging flames. After creating some distance, Alice drew her bow and shot an arrow. Her sharp gaze, like that of a hawk, locked onto the God. The bow was fully drawn, and the azure arrow fell from the sky.

"Whoosh!!"

The emerald green arrow pierced the sky, breaking through the dense net of countless flames as it fell, its swiftness aimed directly at Ye Mingqiu's chest.

However, [Instinctive Perception] had already predicted the trajectory of the arrow.

"when!"

The blood spear struck down the arrow, and a burst of verdant light exploded in an instant. The emerald green color transformed into countless virtual vines that enveloped Ye Mingqiu, and countless tiny seeds attempted to quietly merge into his body and parasitize him.

Although it was just an explosion of arrows, it was actually a magical attack, and an extremely sophisticated one at that, which was very difficult for ordinary psionicists to break.

This is elven magic.

Elven spells have a slightly lower upper limit than regular spells, but their advantage is that when taught to specific targets, they are much easier to learn than regular spells, and they also have a much lower requirement for spirit attributes, making them more suitable for non-magical professions.

[Magic Energy Devouring]

Ye Mingqiu calmly cast his spell, the pitch-black [Demonic Abyss Power] enveloping him layer by layer, swallowing the emerald light spots and making him even stronger.

The god-king, whose body was covered in pitch-black [Abyssal Power], only revealed half of his face. The scarlet light in his eyes appeared even more ferocious and terrifying in the surrounding darkness. He raised one arm, and the [Abyssal Power] behind him surged like boiling water.

Darkness descends.

Countless liquid tentacles formed from the power of the Abyss climbed from the ground to the sky. With the God-King at its core, the area where the spell was released had become a dark abyss, as if hell had opened a rift, allowing a terrifying black tide to descend and engulf the sky.

"Darkness has descended? How is this possible!"

Finally, Alice couldn't hold back any longer and screamed out in pain, her face contorted with agony.

As a top-tier psionicist, she naturally had some understanding of demonic magic and knew how much energy and loss an ordinary psionicist would have to expend to convert psionic energy into demonic energy.

Even the strongest experts would need to expend at least 10,000 spiritual energy to unleash it!
In other words, this BYD God-King has at least 10,000 units of spiritual energy? And that's even after he just used the Demon Flame Arrow? This guy has that much spiritual energy at level 4? Even with the ability to consume no magical energy, that shouldn't be the case, right?

She never imagined that the energy Ye Mingqiu used wasn't magical energy converted from spiritual energy, but rather the power of the Abyss of the Sequence, which consumed less energy and was more powerful when releasing demonic spells.

And
Ye Mingqiu has two blue stripes!

Moreover, it is equivalent to nearly 10,000 total psionic energy!

"We can't just sit here and wait to die!!"

Alice knew that Dark Descent was a domain-type demonic spell, and once she was covered by Dark Descent's domain, she would no longer have any chance of victory.

We must leave the area as quickly as possible!

"Snapped!"

She immediately clapped her hands, and light green psionic energy ignited from her body like flames, transforming into magic to form an elven spell. A huge emerald array took shape in mid-air, and massive tree roots radiating golden light continuously emerged from the array, as if to cover half the sky.

"Is the divine tree summoning us?"

Ye Mingqiu murmured softly.

The essence of this elven spell is to summon a projection imbued with the power of the divine tree to clash with the domain of darkness, but it is still essentially a psionic creation and can still be devoured by the power of the abyss.

The unique feature of the Divine Tree Summoning is that it can rely on the power of the summoned to conserve some spiritual energy consumption, and thus summon a projection of sufficient strength when spiritual energy consumption is not so high.

But
"As a user, you are still too weak."

Ye Mingqiu finally delivered his verdict.

The pitch-black waves surged toward the sky, colliding with the roots of countless divine trees. Several divine trees, imbued with golden light, crushed the pitch-black waves, but were swallowed by even more darkness. Countless pitch-black hands climbed toward the divine trees, seemingly wanting to devour the roots of the trees in the sky.

At the heart of the battle, Alice, who was casting elven magic, quietly disappeared. She vanished into the energy fluctuations of the divine tree, completely concealing her aura, and looked down at the divine lord on the ground with a furrowed brow.

'I never expected this guy to be so strong! Who knew he could even cast spells!'
'This is bad. The long-range maneuvering strategy is unfeasible. We can only temporarily conceal our tracks, lie in ambush in the mountains, and wait for an opportunity to strike decisively.'
"hateful!"

As Alice felt the depletion of spiritual energy within her body, her brows furrowed even more.

The legendary class, Wind Spirit Nightshade, is very strong, possessing the potential to cast elven spells, as well as super mobility and ranged damage output capabilities.

However, her total spiritual energy is not high, so she can't unleash too many skills. The summoning of the divine tree just now almost drained her. If she wants to use a skill that can decide the outcome of the battle, she has to hide for a while.

Lengthen the battle lines!

We'll look for another opportunity later!
Alice quietly left, disappearing into the mountains amidst the sounds of the Black Tide and the roots of the Divine Tree clashing. She stepped into a small cave, her tense mood easing slightly.

But the next moment...
A grotesque crimson spear suddenly shot out from the shadows, piercing her body in an instant. As Alice stared in bewilderment and shock, the man with bloodshot eyes whispered:
"This place is already full."

"Why?"

Alice's voice trembled.

"puff!"

Without a reply, Ye Mingqiu punched straight through her chest, precisely shattering her heart, and watched as Alice vanished in despair and confusion, turning into white light.

【Battle Victory】

Rather than explaining things during battle, which only adds more variables, he prefers to win directly.

This is a very simple reason.

Ye Mingqiu returned to the audience seats. He lowered his eyes, casually agreed to Ge Wu's request to sell the battle video, sat down to savor the insights he gained from the battle, and simulated in his mind whether there was a better solution.

Beside her, Tang Ruobing slowly raised the corners of her mouth in a subtle smile, clearly in a very good mood.

She had long known that Ye Mingqiu was the kind of person who was purely focused on fighting. Once he entered battle mode, he would not care about things that ordinary people might care about. Even if he had a near certainty of victory, he would not show any mercy until he truly achieved victory.

Soon, a series of hurried footsteps sounded, and Alice came to Ye Mingqiu's side, her eyes flashing with a burning light.

How rude.

Ye Mingqiu thought to himself.

"Whoo~"

Alice took a deep breath, calmed her breathing and mind, and said seriously, "100,000 psionic points, tell me how you found me."

So polite.

Ye Mingqiu changed his mind and replied, "I can sense your hostility and killing intent, so your ability to conceal your aura and form is ineffective against me."

"Hostility perception?"

Alice was taken aback for a moment, then immediately retorted, "You actually learned this kind of skill? There are only five skill slots at Tier 1. Isn't learning such a general skill a waste of your slots?"

"I didn't learn."

"Ok?"

"It's just that I have a strong sense of perception and am quite sensitive to the enemy's killing intent and hostility," Ye Mingqiu answered honestly.

He personally speculated that the reason his ability to perceive killing intent/hostility was so strong was because his soul strength and soul potential were strong enough, which gave him an extra boost in perception, allowing his combat instinct perception to be greatly amplified.

"Talent?"

Alice frowned slightly.

Rather than believing that Ye Mingqiu's perception was exceptionally strong, she was more inclined to believe that he was subtly hinting at his talent. If it were purely a perception of hostility, then his perception would be terrifyingly powerful, something no psionicist should possess. Even a legendary-level psionicist wouldn't have such strong perception.

Is it futuristic vision?
As mentioned in the previous techniques, the Divine Lord seems to possess the ability of future vision, allowing him to see their techniques and movements in advance. However, that level of future vision is likely only passive for him. Once he activates it actively, he will be able to see in advance where I will appear from.

That's it!

Alice quickly sorted out her thoughts. She guessed that Ye Mingqiu killed her not only because he was decisive and ruthless, but also because the side effects of future vision were equally huge for him. He had to end the battle as soon as possible to avoid further complications.

After understanding everything, her mindset gradually calmed down. Facing an enemy with [future vision], hiding her figure was indeed ineffective, and being defeated was only natural.

[Notification: You have received a transfer.]

"Here you go, these are the psionic points we agreed on."

Alice said with a smile.

"Received. Ge Wu has some combat videos of me for sale. You can ask him for them and just say I gave them to you," Ye Mingqiu said politely with a smile after accepting the energy points.

"Thank you. Oh, by the way, just out of curiosity, are you a high school graduate taking the college entrance exam this year?"

"Yes."

“What a coincidence, me too. I’m from Qingshan Academy. Where are you from?” Alice asked with a smile.

Chenghai No. 2 High School

"what?"

Alice was immediately stunned, her eyes filled with confusion, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Is Chenghai No. 2 High School the kind of ordinary high school I imagined?"

"Ah."

Are you here for a leisurely stroll in the mortal world?

Alice complained.

In the world of psionicists, high schools are actually divided into many categories. For example, the Second High School where Ye Mingqiu is located is an ordinary high school (compared to psionicists). Above ordinary high schools are key high schools, and above key high schools are top-tier high schools.

Alice's school, Qingshan Academy, is a far cry from ordinary high schools. It's jointly run by various powerful families. The quality varies drastically between different schools; even a dog wouldn't go to a bad school, while top-tier schools are stronger than top-tier high schools, possessing unparalleled learning resources.

Therefore, when Alice heard that Ye Mingqiu was in an ordinary high school, she was extremely shocked. After all, ordinary high schools are not strong. It would be a miracle if a student could reach the second tier before graduating from high school. It would be even more impossible to cultivate a top student on the ladder.

Alice was certain that with the learning resources of an ordinary high school, it was virtually impossible to cultivate a top-level psychic with the level of a God-King. Even if one did, it would most likely have little to do with the school.

"By the way, I'm just curious, how is the training of psychics in regular high schools? How is the training of psychics in your class?" Alice asked curiously.

"Three."

"Three Hero-level?"

Alice tried to think of the worst-case scenario, after all, it was just an ordinary high school, so it was normal for them to have fewer hero-level heroes.

"No, only three people became psionicists."

Ye Mingqiu replied.

"."

Alice fell silent for a moment, looking at Ye Mingqiu as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, finally unable to resist asking, "Are you in the first year of high school?"

"Senior year of high school, support class."

"Support class? You? Huh??"

Alice couldn't hold back any longer. Her expression was as colorful as fireworks. She had considered many possibilities: tank, magic, or warrior. After all, he was indeed very strong in these areas.

But to her utter surprise, this guy was actually a support type? This is support? Huh? Explain to me, what exactly is a support type?
"puff!"

Tang Ruobing couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Her smile successfully caught Alice's attention. Alice turned her head and asked curiously, "You two seem to get along quite well. How did you meet?"

"classmate."

"Oh, is this a classmate from junior high?"

Alice asked curiously, "Those who can enter the Heavenly Ladder rankings are not ordinary people. The probability of them coming from ordinary high schools is extremely small. It is more likely that they met each other in junior high school."

"No."

"Elementary school classmate?"

"Not at all."

"Kindergarten classmate?"

“We were high school classmates. I also went to Chenghai No. 2 High School,” Tang Ruobing said with a smile.

"you?"

Alice took a closer look and confirmed that she was not mistaken: Shattered Star, ranked second on the ladder.

Good heavens! I'm just speechless!

This is a group that came out for a leisurely stroll in the mortal world!

What incredible luck Chenghai No. 2 Middle School had to encounter such formidable opponents at the same time, directly securing the top two spots on the ladder rankings. From now on, Chenghai No. 2 Middle School is likely to become famous.

"After this ranking competition ends, many universities will likely extend offers to you. What are your plans?" Alice asked curiously.

Ye Mingqiu looked at Tang Ruobing, who replied, "It depends on the offer. The main target is prestigious universities. Recruitment from major forces may be more tempting, but the actual promotion channels may be blocked, and the fairness may be slightly lacking."

Is that how you see it?

Alice sighed and said, "Actually, prestigious schools aren't much better. Everyone tries to maintain a superficial level of fairness. In the world of psionicists, strength is paramount. When competing for resources, the strong will tend to favor their own people."

The subtle changes in her eyes, though Tang Ruobing didn't explicitly say so, clearly indicated that she didn't come from a prestigious family or powerful background. Even if she did, there were likely some unspeakable reasons behind it.

Thinking of this, Alice smiled and said, "Let's add each other as friends. I'm from Shuting. We can chat and contact each other again when we have the chance."

"Ah."

Tang Ruobing nodded in response.

"Ding!"

A notification sound from the spirit world rang out, and Alice subconsciously looked at the chat bar. Her eyes gradually changed, and she muttered to herself, "The Dream Weaver's dream has begun. Next, all the world's top psionicists will have to take action."

Dream Weaver
Tang Ruobing lowered her eyes. Although Ye Mingqiu said he didn't know why the Dream Weaver would choose to weave dreams at this time.

However, she firmly believes that the dream weaver's dream creation is most likely related to Ye Mingqiu. His dream needs material, and this material may come from all sorts of places. This time, it is highly likely that it happens to be related to Ye Mingqiu.

Ye Mingqiu also obtained the title of "Lord of Light and Shadow" after that world exploration.

so.
[Lord of Light and Shadow] is most likely the key point in the Dream Weaver's dream. Remembering it will likely give you a certain advantage.

Therefore, Tang Ruobing informed her father of this information in advance.

I hope he returns victorious!
