My stats are higher than yours!

"Give."

Xia Yanxin tossed over a small, antique-looking box and said, "This is your compensation, a bottle of basic soul medicine. Apply it to your forehead; it will slightly increase your soul strength."

"Something that enhances soul strength?"

Bai Shuodong was slightly surprised.

Soul strength, like willpower, is a hidden attribute and is generally not used. Soul cultivators are extremely rare, but their combat power in the early stages of the game is ridiculously strong.

Because normal people don't practice soul cultivation at all! Their soul strength is far lower than that of soul cultivators!

"It's alright, I guess. This stuff can only increase the amount of something by a limited amount, and the effect isn't obvious. It's better than nothing, but those guys at Giant Pharmaceuticals aren't willing to bleed money out of them," Xia Yanxin said with a slight shrug.

Thanks.

Bai Shuodong accepted the secret medicine.

Even so, soul-type secret medicines are not something that ordinary people can easily come into contact with, and their value must be extremely high. Without Xia Yanxin's help, he would never have been able to obtain this bottle of secret medicine.

"Want to fight?"

"No psionic powers or comprehension skills are allowed."

"no problem."

Xia Yanxin replied with a grin, then continued, "I don't even need to use my talent, how about that? Aren't I taking good care of you?"

"Ok?"

Bai Shuodong noticed something was wrong, took a closer look at Xia Yanxin, and confirmed again and again that this girl had not entered the Spirit Realm Trial to become a spiritual energy user, but if that were the case, where did she get her confidence?

That's so strange.

"bring it on."

"it is good."

The two walked onto the training ground one after the other. Xia Yanxin then took out her greatsword, but unlike before, she used dual-wielding, one greatsword in her left hand and one in her right. This was a fighting stance that Bai Shuodong had never seen before.

Bai Shuodong felt immense pressure, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He murmured to himself, "Can a greatsword be dual-wielded?"

Chapter Thirty: The Loneliness Born From This

Lost.

Bai Shuodong lay on the training field, staring blankly at the sky.

He frowned, completely unable to understand what was wrong with Xia Yanxin just now. She was clearly using a greatsword, and a greatsword in each hand, a weapon that was extremely cumbersome.

But in her hands, this thing was incredibly agile, almost as if it were dancing gracefully using inertia and the force of impact, composing poetry with blood and violence, and expressing the violence of the greatsword with ultimate skills and combos. Its suppressive power was much stronger than that of a single greatsword.

How on earth did she do it?

That doesn't make sense!

"Hahaha!"

"You've held on for quite a while!"

Xia Yanxin straddled him casually, her feet planted on the two greatswords, pinning down Bai Shuodong's arms. With her arms crossed, she looked down at him and said, "Bai Shuodong, my greatsword skill has reached level 7. Oh, by the way, you probably don't know this, but level 7 is a crucial qualitative change. I feel like I can do anything now."

"So when do you plan to take the Spirit Realm Trial? Are you going to take some more time to prepare, or...?"

"With my current strength, I should be able to try to break into the legendary class this week. As for you... just keep working hard."

"whispering sound!"

Bai Shuodong turned his head away.

After officially passing the Spirit Realm Trials, psychics also have different levels. To describe the different professional levels using Bai Shuodong's standards...

An intern position, worse than a pig or a dog.

Ordinary job, useless.

Elite profession, average level for ordinary people.

The Lord class is relatively strong.

Heroic profession, top of the grade.

Legendary profession: Superman.

Of course, the value of a professional title varies greatly depending on the category.

For example, a lord-level professional player in the warrior class sometimes has a lower social status than an elite-level professional player in the support class. This is because there are far too many warriors and far fewer support players, and it is also easier for support players to find teammates when forming a team.

As the saying goes, the capable are more secure. Warriors have strong individual combat abilities and can be considered for solo play. However, they are often forced to play solo because they cannot find teammates.

Raising your base stats to 20 is easy, but getting a high-level job is not. That's why many people get stuck on their stats until they max out their skills and master enough comprehension skills before participating in the Spirit Realm Trials.

Xia Yanxin is that kind of person.

Her base attribute is 19.8, which is actually to avoid accidentally triggering the Spirit Realm Trial if her base attribute is 19.9 and increases by 0.1 due to training.

Xia Yanxin's special skill level has now reached level 7, and she feels that's enough, so she's preparing to participate in the Spirit Realm Trial.

"I'll be aiming for legendary status sooner or later, so you can just wait and watch with bated breath."

"whispering sound!"

...

After the training course ends, there is a vacation every two weeks.

Normally, the Psionic Academy is a closed, boarding school. If you want to go out, you have to ask for leave. It's not much different from a regular high school, except that the school spirit is a little bit more aggressive.

And now...

It's not much different from before.

Rent a place outside and only come back once every ten days or half a month, just for the so-called home. What's so good about a home without warmth?

Only an idiot like Jiang Lin would be willing to spend money on a place like this, and then say things like, "You don't understand," "Even if it's small, it's still a place that belongs to me," and "It feels so reassuring to have a home, don't you think so?"

When you talk to him about cost-effectiveness, he gets angry and says things like, "The world is so big, but you don't even have a place that belongs to you. Don't you feel uneasy?"

joke

Am I that kind of person?

Money shouldn't be spent on things like that!

but...

Every time he went to Jiang Lin's small rented room with him, seeing how neatly and cleanly he had decorated it, he would feel a strange sting, an indescribable feeling.

Loneliness? Solitude? Longing?

Forget it. Not everyone has the right to be pretentious. I should get used to it. Haven't I already given up on or been given up on many times?

Bai Shuodong sat in the classroom.

He looked down at his textbook.

The others chatted noisily, talking about what they would do when they got back—whether they would take a bath, eat snacks, play games, or wait for their parents to make braised pork.

Bai Shuodong wasn't a jealous person, but every time he heard these sounds, saw others tidying up their things and finding a place to go, while he could only stay here reading, watching everyone in the classroom leave one by one, until only he was left, with only the sound of his turning pages remaining.

There will always be a bitter taste in my mouth.

Occasionally, someone would return and kindly ask, "Why don't you go home?"

What's there to ask?

This kind of thing.

What difference does it make whether it exists or not?

Jiang Lin must have packed his things and gone home too, right? Want to come over to his place for a bit?

But that's his home.

dream.

It's something that doesn't exist.

Why such a strong yearning for dreams? Because they don't exist in reality. In the silent days of daily life, the sharp edge of loneliness quietly cuts into his heart again and again.

Now I have money, with school uniforms and financial support from the head of student affairs.

So much money.

Improving our strength is the optimal solution, right?

Bai Shuodong lowered his head, his eyes gradually beginning to flicker.

I can buy time to use the projector in my private training room, but those things are very expensive, costing 10,000 yuan per hour. Even if I had 200,000 yuan, I couldn't keep it up for very long. Such crucial funds shouldn't be wasted on useless things.

Furthermore, continuing to learn and comprehend skills is also very important. The level and effect of a skill are not completely fixed after comprehension; the skill effect can be improved as comprehension increases, making the skill stronger and stronger.

Therefore, I also need to consider spending money to go to the lion enclosure to observe the lions, which might help me further improve the level of Lion's Eye.

And basic attributes...

There are also medicinal baths to heal hidden injuries...
