Jiang Mian lowered her head, buried her face in her knees, and her shoulders twitched occasionally, emitting low sobs.

The situation is already quite clear.

In Ye Chenyang's eyes, her disheveled clothes and the faint red marks on her skin made her look incredibly fragile, as if she would shatter at the slightest touch.

For some reason, he felt a surge of urge to protect her.

The experience of connecting with Jiang Mian would likely leave no room for unease for anyone with a conscience and moral compass.

Ye Chenyang spent most of his previous life cultivating and fighting, but he also met countless people, including all sorts of villains.

The scene before us is clearly an elemental burst caused by the girl's forced awakening under extreme fear and despair.

Natural Awakening... [Eye of the Storm] One...

The surrounding area was a mess, with the marks left by the wind being very messy and of varying depths, which was enough to show that the power during the outburst was not stable.

It is not impossible that Jiang Mian, who failed to awaken before, has now "naturally awakened".

Ye Chenyang had seen some people who naturally awakened after experiencing great stimulation, and their situations were basically the same as the current ones.

If one awakens in this way...

The probability of developing the disease may be greatly increased, and even if the disease does not develop, there will be enormous psychological trauma.

Moreover... their initial abilities are extremely unstable, and their control is somewhat worse than that of ordinary awakened individuals, which can only be made up for through practice.

Li Hao's malice was clearly the catalyst for Jiang Mian's awakening.

A spoiled brat, relying on his status as an Awakened One and his family background, acts recklessly and makes unwanted advances towards a lonely and helpless girl...

Ye Chenyang frowned.

In his previous life, before he awakened, he had also been oppressed by people like this.

Therefore, he already disliked people like Li Hao, and now that he has ended up like this, it is entirely his own fault.

However... Jiang Mian always gave him a slightly "strange" feeling of unease, and coupled with the abnormal movement of [Eternal Day], he couldn't help but recall the previous details.

In his previous life, he had never met Jiang Mian, nor had he seen Jiang Mian's name in the official training program.

At that time, due to the threat of the calamity sequence, the authorities attempted to allocate resources to the geniuses at the top of the sequence and to cultivate them intensively. He was among them in his previous life.

But since Jiang Mian awakened the powerful [Eye of the Storm] sequence, why didn't he participate?

Unfortunately, he left shortly after awakening in his previous life and did not know Jiang Mian, so he had no way of knowing anything about her.

Perhaps Jiang Mian developed serious psychological problems after this incident, which may have even affected her ability to perform.

Or perhaps... what she awakened wasn't the [Eye of the Storm], but rather the [Storm] corresponding to the calamity sequence?

That doesn't make sense... If it were someone with a disease, after experiencing such a violent elemental explosion, they should have exploded and died by now.

Ye Chenyang didn't think too much about it for the time being, as there would be plenty of opportunities to get to know her in the future.

Now, what he needs to do is to appease Jiang Mian first.

If this kind of explosive state continues for a long time, it will definitely put a considerable burden on her.

He took a deep breath, the golden aura around him faded slightly, and slowed his pace as he approached the huddled figure.

"Jiang... is alright now."

Jiang Mian suddenly raised her head, her glasses having fallen off somewhere, revealing most of her face that was usually covered.

At this moment, her eyes were filled with tears, her cheeks were flushed, and there were still traces of wet tears.

"It really was him..."

Jiang Mian secretly thought to herself that the other person's gaze was strange... but she didn't know what level of ability he had.

Could it be some kind of sensory ability? If so, that's troublesome...

How can we make it look realistic now...?

"Don't come any closer!"

Jiang Mian shrank back as if in response, staring at Ye Chenyang warily.

With her scream, the surrounding wind seemed to become even more turbulent, and the already small windless area suddenly shrank inward, becoming even smaller.

"Get away! Don't, don't touch me!"

Her voice trembled, and her eyes were filled with panic and fear.

"Is it because of your recent experience that you've developed an extreme distrust of any man who gets close to you? Or...?"

Ye Chenyang paused, looking at the golden light reflected in the girl's eyes. Perhaps his barrier was making her feel uneasy?

A thought struck him, and he removed the "Radiant Light" effect to minimize any potential stimulation.

"Okay, I won't go."

He raised his hands to indicate that he meant no harm.

"Jiang, look carefully, I'm the sheriff, here to help you. Your teacher is waiting for you outside."

"Now you're safe. No one can hurt you."

After Ye Chenyang dimmed his light, Jiang Mian seemed to calm down a bit.

She huddled in the corner, wiping away her tears, but her face was covered in dust from her hands, making her look disheveled and pitiful, yet she still appeared wary.

"Calm down, take a deep breath. Try to feel the wind around you... let it calm down."

Ye Chenyang maintained a safe distance and tried to reassure Jiang Mian, attempting to get her to restrain her abilities.

Jiang Mian put on a submissive expression, focused her mind, and felt the wind around her, while in her mind she was calculating what to do next.

A user of the [Eye of the Storm] ability who has just experienced "awakening" and even caused an elemental storm has probably reached the limits of both body and mind.

Her body was already "fragile," and after such a period of exhaustion, she certainly needed to... take a nap.

Thinking of this, a look of pain appeared on her face, she clutched her chest, and her breathing became rapid.

"I...I can't control them...My head hurts so much...I feel so uncomfortable..."

The surrounding wind field began to become unstable and was difficult to maintain. It turned into scattered wind blades, which swept across the nearby shelves and left a few shallow marks.

Clearly, their power has been greatly reduced.

Jiang Mian's body swayed and she fell softly backward.

The turbulent air currents around us gradually subsided, leaving only a deathly silence.

Just before she fainted, Ye Chenyang stepped forward and caught her just in time. He felt incredibly light, as if she had no weight.

Only then did he see Jiang Mian's face clearly; it was terribly pale, even her lips were the same, she looked completely exhausted.

However... Jiang Mian's brows remained furrowed, and he seemed to be under immense mental pressure.

He reached out and touched the side of her neck.

The pulse was slow and erratic, and the power of the wind had been completely exhausted.

At the same time, [Eternal Day] seemed to fall silent, as if the warning from just now had never existed.

Is the source of the resonance her ability?

Ye Chenyang already had a guess in his mind. Looking at Jiang Mian's tightly furrowed brows, he subconsciously wanted to help her relax, but then he thought of a better way.

A golden light appeared between his fingers; this was the skill [Heart Lamp], which he had only learned in the middle of his previous life.

Its effect is to stabilize the mind, making it one of the few mental calming skills outside of the [Soul] path.

Ye Chenyang's level is not high enough right now, so he can only use the youth version.

However, when he pressed this golden light onto Jiang Mian's brow, Jiang Mian immediately became unsettled.

She felt something warm enter her body, and then...

Jiang Mian emitted a sharp, explosive sound.

"What the hell is this?!"
