My stats are higher than yours!

"Go stand in the combat zone."

"?"

"Go when I tell you to."

Xia Yanxin said simply and directly.

"Oh."

Bai Shuodong arrived at the combat zone and then saw Xia Yanxin carrying two heavy greatswords, walking towards him with a ferocious smile.

She licked her lips, her gaze sharpening, and said, "The things in your head are all distracting thoughts. The best way to clear them out is to make them insignificant and useless."

"What do you mean?"

Bai Shuodong asked a question, and at the same time subconsciously pulled out a long spear from the weapon rack, locking his Lion's Eyes onto her, instantly assuming a fighting stance.

"Fighting is good. As long as I fight, my mind will go blank. I will only see my opponent and the battle, only the fighting. My worries and concerns will disappear."

Xia Yanxin's smile grew even wider, and a little crimson spiritual energy gradually ignited on her body. She stepped forward, carrying two giant swords, and said, "The more idle people are, the more they will think about all sorts of things. As long as there is something that requires concentration, they will not have those unnecessary thoughts."

"When faced with distracting thoughts, what you need is not persuasion, but action. Whether it's fighting or cultivating, it doesn't matter. As long as you take action and have things to do, you won't have time to pay attention to those unimportant things."

"It doesn't matter, just forget about it."

"Really? Yes... I see!"

Bai Shuodong's voice wasn't loud, but it suddenly rose in volume. His lion's eyes were fixed on Xia Yanxin, and a dangerous smile appeared on his lips. All other thoughts vanished instantly.

"Xia Yanxin! You bastard!"

"They actually tried to use the excuse of relieving my worries to beat me up! They actually used such a blatant and open scheme!"

Immediately, Bai Shuodong suddenly laughed.

"Hehehe, hahaha, hahahahaha!"

He leaned forward slightly, releasing azure psionic energy from his body. Blazing flames swirled around the spear, and his smile deepened as he roared, "Perfect! Let me show you the psionic energy I wield! Flame Spear!"

"He's actually mastered psionic abilities?"

Xia Yanxin looked surprised, but then became even more excited.

"Good! Very good! Excellent!"

Only an opponent like this is worth fighting with all my might! Absolutely fantastic!

"Bang!" "Bang!"

The two stomped the ground simultaneously and charged at each other, their greatswords and spears gleaming with a chilling light, drawing similar crimson arcs in the air.

"Clang! Ding! Bang!..."

The sounds of continuous collisions rang out, and the flaming spear and the greatsword were evenly matched.

However, Xia Yanxin's attack speed was constantly increasing, and the power of the greatsword was becoming more and more formidable. In the blink of an eye, she had already gained the upper hand.

Even so, Xia Yanxin still dared not be greedy and reckless, after all, Bai Shuodong's [Slow Burst] value was too high. If he were to seize an opportunity, the opponent could end the battle in one move.

Something's not right!

'This guy's fighting style is off!'

'His marksmanship has improved so much compared to before. Is it because of the trial? Did he receive a treasure at the end of the trial? Something specifically for leveling up his skills?'

'but...'

'Level 5 skills are still too weak!'

Xia Yanxin's lips suddenly parted into a smile, and her two giant swords began to fly.

Watching her heroic fighting posture, Bai Shuodong instantly experienced that feeling of mental emptiness. His consciousness became more and more focused, his gaze fixed on the person in front of him, and his concentration in the battle became higher and higher, and he became more and more absorbed.

This is... the way to relieve worries!

Chapter Sixty! I don't want to fight anymore.

"Oh!"

The greatsword clashed with the flaming spear, sparks flying, and both men were thrown back.

Xia Yanxin bent down, changed the way she gripped the greatsword, and her eyes changed at the same time.

This guy's combat skills have improved considerably. If he was at level 1 or 2 before, he's probably at level 4 or 5 now.

Not only that...

His psionic energy is very high, extremely high! His elemental conversion efficiency is extremely high!

"I never expected you to have such a talent," Xia Yanxin said, narrowing her eyes.

“Your psionic abilities are quite impressive. If I’m not mistaken, they should have some kind of enhancement effect, right?” Bai Shuodong said with a smile.

"Ah, that's right. I can get a 30% boost to all my attributes just by continuously releasing psionic energy."

Xia Yanxin stated directly, "Since childhood, I have been tempering my body with the blood of ten thousand beasts to enhance my potential resistance. After a long period of tempering, I have absorbed and accumulated a large amount of the essence of the blood of ten thousand beasts, which eventually led to the transformation of my spiritual energy and gave me my current attribute enhancement ability."

"So that's how it is."

Bai Shuodong said knowingly.

Different people have different innate physical constitutions, and the difficulty of mastering psychic energy also varies.

The key is physical constitution, so some people want to start with physical constitution and slowly change it through top-level treasures, so that psychics can more easily master psychic energy. The Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts is one such treasure.

Beast Blood is not a specific type of blood, but rather a body-refining treasure made from the blood of multiple types of beasts using special techniques. The quality of Beast Blood is not fixed; it mainly depends on the quality of the materials and the refining method. If both are excellent, the product will be of very high quality.

However, using such treasures does not guarantee mastery of psionic energy; ultimately, it depends on the user's talent and luck. The treasures merely provide a possibility.

The possibility of creating something from nothing.

"And what about your psychic powers?"

"Natural awakening".

"what?"

Xia Yanxin was slightly taken aback. You, a guy with only 4 points in mental attribute, are talking to me about naturally awakened spiritual energy? Are you kidding me?

“That’s right, it was a natural awakening. I didn’t use any treasures because I didn’t have the money or the time to use them,” Bai Shuodong said frankly.

"That seems to be the case."

Xia Yanxin nodded, then smiled and continued, "Never mind, let's fight first!"

"it is good!"

Soon, the two resumed their battle, this time with even greater intensity. Their previous fights had been more of a probing exercise than a full-blown engagement.

[Notification: Stamina is being rapidly depleted, triggering a short-term adaptation period]

[Tip: Stamina recovery speed increased]

it is good!very good!

Bai Shuodong's lips curled up, and his movements became increasingly flamboyant in the battle. His spear danced like a dragon, trembling and unleashing a series of thrusts that clashed repeatedly with the two greatswords.

The red-haired girl danced across the battlefield, her combat instincts incredibly sharp. She gave him no chance to use a slow burst combined with a fire spear to deliver a fatal blow, instead slowly engaging him in a prolonged fight, wearing him down.

"She played too steadily."

Bai Shuodong frowned slightly, as if he had strength but couldn't use it.

After all, Xia Yanxin already has high agility, and now she has a 30% attribute enhancement, plus her skill level is also higher, making her quite troublesome to fight against.

But then a smile returned to his face, his concentration increasing as he muttered to himself, "Well then, you'd better do your best, and don't let me catch you, or else... hehehe..."

"Flame Spear!"

The spear, wreathed in crimson flames, slashed through the sky once more, crashing into the greatswords. The spear actually forced both greatswords to constantly resist and defend.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!..."

The sounds of weapons clashing rang out continuously, the pace of the battle quickened, and the intensity increased. Xia Yanxin retreated with light steps, her heart beating faster and faster.

'This guy is too troublesome!'

She could sense that although Bai Shuodong's normal strength was not as great as hers, his psionic energy was ridiculously strong, and the power of his enhanced flames was extremely high. If she were to be hit by such an attack, the outcome would probably be very tragic.

He should at least stay in the infirmary for a few days, right?

We also have to consider his talent; this guy is probably ready to use [Slow Burst] to ambush me at any time! He might use a certain recovery animation as an opportunity to use it, and then take the damage and counterattack when I seize the moment. Ha, he's absolutely capable of doing that!

"Hey, you bastard, don't you want to face me head-on?" Bai Shuodong asked, taking a few steps back after stopping his attack.

"How about we don't use psionic powers? Let's compete with the purest techniques, shall we?" Xia Yanxin said with a smile.

"whispering sound!"

Bai Shuodong rolled his eyes at her; he definitely wouldn't agree to such a condition.

If neither side uses psionic energy, he would definitely be on the defensive right now. But using psionic energy is a completely different story. Although his psionic energy can't improve his attributes, his attack power is just too high. Xia Yanxin doesn't even dare to touch him.

With a conversion efficiency of 1:12 and a base psionic strength of 1.8, the combined effect of Bai Shuodong using psionic-enhanced weapons is nearly ten times that of a normal person. If he were to fight at full strength, this value would be even higher.

"Forget it, I'm not fighting you anymore. Fighting with you is pointless." Xia Yanxin put down her weapon, sat down in the rest area, crossed her arms, and looked resentful and dissatisfied, as if she was sulking.
