The girl selling goods at the market had never seen money before.

She wanted to see what would happen if she attacked the Shadow Fiend herself.

Based on the combat power that Shadow Fiend had previously revealed, Bai Jinxuan felt that she couldn't possibly lose in a one-on-one situation and could easily defeat her.

The problem is that Shadow Fiend might summon a whole cart of bread people. At that point, she won't be able to fight them all, so she'll have to think about how to run away.

She had already thought it through; direct teleportation was the safest option.

Although the Shadow Demons were numerous and attacked frequently, there was a vacuum period before the initial wave of attacks. Bai Jinxuan could have used this time to teleport away, go to the second level to bully the predatory plants, and bring her training for the day to a close.

The plan is all set; now all that's left is to be brave and go for it.

In battle, Bai Jinxuan never backed down. In short, she always took the initiative, took out Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, projected them, aimed, and swung them with all her might.

The blades drew two streaks of light in the shadows, their target the head of the serpentine shadow demon.

Just as Gan Jiang and Mo Xie were about to pierce the Shadow Demon's head, the opponent's body suddenly flickered, and his upper body suddenly shifted to the side, dodging the attack.

It looked towards Bai Jinxuan, and two red lights shone from the pitch-black mist.

"It seems that the system will activate its self-protection mechanism when attacked."

Sensing the intense hostility emanating from the snake-shaped shadow demon, Bai Jinxuan curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

That's exactly how it should be. If monsters are on the verge of death and don't even know how to fight back, then there's no point in trying at all.

Let me see how well Shadow Fiend fares in combat on the third floor!

As she got into position, the Red-Eyed Shadow Demon launched its attack.

Perhaps due to its serpentine shape, it moved incredibly fast, its shadow practically its domain. Its slender body snaked forward rapidly, and after reaching a certain distance, it would shrink back and pounce.

Seeing this, Bai Jinxuan covered her legs with her qi and dodged quickly, moving backward.

At that moment, due to the change in its position, the Shadow Demon's levitation time increased, and its abdomen was fully exposed to Bai Jinxuan.

good chance!

She threw Gan Jiang and Mo Xie at the snake-shaped shadow demon's abdomen, and then used her strength to guide the twin swords, which it had dodged, back around.

Now, it is attacked by flying knives in front and slashes from behind with double swords. Even if it manages to dodge them by chance, Bai Jinxuan's main body can continue the rhythm and launch a thrust.

It's fair to say that this move is essentially a death sentence for the Snake Shadow Fiend.

How can it dodge the guaranteed triangle kill and triple attack?

However, just when Bai Jinxuan thought she had victory in her grasp, Shadow Demon's actions changed slightly.

Its head, which had been tilted forward, tucked back, and its long tail, like an iron whip, knocked away the blades in front and behind it one after another.

That wasn't all. After breaking Bai Jinxuan's attack, it still had energy left, and the iron whip shot straight up to the top of its head.

"So it wasn't that simple after all."

Bai Jinxuan leaped out of the shadow and dodged the attack.

Inside the 'Shadow Chariot', her main body's range of movement is limited, only about a few meters in size, making it difficult to utilize her speed advantage.

Therefore, she decided to bring Shadow Fiend ashore, where she could fight at her peak.

With the help of the headband, she leaped up and landed on the withered, decaying tree.

The tree had shriveled up so badly that it looked like it would collapse at the slightest pressure. Luckily, I was light enough to stay on the tree for a while.

Looking down, although it was pitch black, Bai Jinxuan was still able to roughly determine the location of the Shadow Demon by sound.

"call out--"

A whooshing sound rang out, and she realized that the Shadow Demon had launched an attack. So she took out the Magic Laser Gun from her treasure chest, aimed it at the source of the sound, and activated it.

A blue ray shot out from it, striking the snake-like shadow demon directly on the head.

In an instant, the black snake that had been opening its blood-red maw to swallow Bai Jinxuan turned into a string of snakes and died on the spot.

Due to gravity, the black snake fell and crashed into the laser beam, instantly ruptured, turning into a puddle of black mud that dripped onto the ground.

"That is......"

Bai Jinxuan's eyes widened. She had seen this before; it was a potion used when the Second Middle School dealt with the Superpowered Gadget Research Club.

Unexpectedly, I was able to collect it after killing the Shadow Fiend.

Upon closer examination, it actually makes sense. No explorers would venture to the third level, and such black mud is completely unsuitable for forming a production line.

Furthermore, even if they could produce them, no one would do it. First, the third-tier union would strictly control the trade, and second, the transaction would be extremely risky; even when selling weapons, one would fear that the customer might turn around and use the weapons to kill them.

Moreover, if it weren't for the intelligence from the Superpower Item Research Society, she wouldn't have known that this black mud had the ability to block reconnaissance. Just based on this information, Bai Jinxuan felt that even the guards on the third floor might have been kept in the dark.

Since no one knows its value, no one deliberately collects it. In a way, the Superpowered Item Research Society is truly a group of geniuses.

She walked up, squatted down, and tried to put the black mud into a bottle.

Just then, the pool of black mud suddenly began to boil, bubbling up one bubble after another.

This strange situation startled Bai Jinxuan, and she quickly retreated, keeping her distance from the black mud in her shadow form.

The black mud gradually turned into black water, seeping into the shadows like ribbons wrapping around her.

This was clearly a terrifying scene, but for some reason, Bai Jinxuan didn't feel scared at all; in fact, she felt quite at ease.

Soon, black water gathered in front of her and then rushed into the soles of her feet.

A vast amount of energy spread from her feet to her entire body. It was an extremely violent energy that relentlessly attacked Bai Jinxuan's magic circuits, determined to tear them apart and destroy them.

However, after Bai Jinxuan adjusted her qi to suppress it, this powerful energy was easily suppressed by her.

Just like Little Red Riding Hood used only one finger to push the strong Big Bad Wolf out the door, anyone who didn't know better would think that the Big Bad Wolf was just pretending and came out voluntarily.

After controlling the black water energy, Bai Jinxuan tried to expel it from her body. The whole process was very smooth, but when she thought about collecting it again, she suddenly realized that the black water was gone.

There was no trace of the black water in the entire shadow space, as if it had never existed.

This left Bai Jinxuan somewhat bewildered. From her senses, she should have already returned the black water to its original path. Logically, the black water should have gathered again at her feet. Why had it disappeared?

Is it possible?

Did it accumulate inside the shoes?

Hey, you know what, it's actually quite possible that the Night Walker's internal senses are weakened in the Shadow Dimension!

Bai Jinxuan quickly sat down, untied her shoelaces, and pulled out her foot, which was wrapped in white stockings, dangling it in mid-air.

Her soles were as white as snow, with a hint of rosy hue showing through her socks.

Huh? What happened? Could that black sludge that could devour people have really disappeared?

She panicked a little, and just as she was about to untie the other shoelace, a special sensation traveled through her hand to her mind.

It was the strange energy that I had just released.

Now, it lies dormant inside the shoe.

No, to be precise, it's accumulated among the Night Walkers.

Bai Jinxuan was actually very familiar with this energy; it would consume a portion of her energy each time she marked or transmitted something.

Because the energy can be automatically replenished in about 24 hours after being consumed, Bai Jinxuan always believed that this energy was just a special mechanism of the Night Walker and could not be replenished by the outside world.

It wasn't until this moment that she realized she was wrong.

The Nightwalker's energy can be replenished, and it can even exceed its limit.

She can currently teleport 100 times.

Volume 1: Chapters 8 and 9: Meeting a Classmate's Girl

Early morning, Star City No. 1 Middle School.

Bai Jinxuan, who had been fighting all night, was resting in the bathroom.

On her school uniform, the 'Pride' magic circle was emitting light, constantly assisting her in absorbing magic.

Two medicinal baths combined with several hours of dungeon battles—under such high-density training, Bai Jinxuan's physical fitness reached a new level.

"Activating the Pride Magic Circle was indeed the right decision."

Sensing that the magic in the bathtub was almost gone, she quickly stood up, changed into the school uniform that she had washed and dried the night before, and then put her still-wet uniform into the washing machine.

The transparent sphere begins to rotate.

Seeing this, Bai Jinxuan sat on the sofa, picked up the teapot, and poured herself a cup of tea.

There's still some time before class starts, so she can take a break.

Lying on the cushion, the images in my eyes gradually blurred, turning into the various shadow demons I had seen last night.

Online, there is very little information about the Shadow Demon on the third floor. Most people know less about it than Bai Jinxuan does. Even the explanation given by the guild is vague and unclear. It does not describe its various forms, which clearly shows that they did not want any explorers to go to the third floor in the first place.

At first glance, the third level seems to be the most mysterious place in the underground city.

Bai Jinxuan picked up her cup and took a sip of tea.

Based on her practical experience, all Shadow Fiends possess the ability to stealth and are connected to their own Shadowspace.

The soldiers' initial assumption that she was the Shadow Fiend wasn't entirely unfounded; she and the Shadow Fiend were indeed very similar, both able to move through shadows and emanating black mist.

She felt that the Nightwalker might have some kind of connection with the Shadow Fiend, a type of monster.

Otherwise, how could they have the same abilities and share the same energy system?

After all, both artifacts and monsters originate from dungeons, so logically, it makes sense that they share commonalities.

"Humanity still knows far too little about underground cities."

Putting aside her thoughts about the dungeon, Bai Jinxuan turned her attention to the upcoming class.

Today is her first time attending No. 1 Middle School. She doesn't know what the teaching methods are like, but just by looking at the school building, she knows that it will be vastly different from No. 5 Middle School.

She put on her smart bracelet, scanned the items that needed attention, and then turned to enter the magic circle rental interface.

Drinking tea to relax makes one prone to drowsiness, and last night she spent the entire night killing Shadow Fiends underground, storing up a large amount of Shadow Energy—since she didn't know what to call it, she thought that adding the prefix of the organization she had used to show off to the Undead Secret Society sounded good, so she chose this name.

In short, from now on, she no longer needs to worry so much about the daily teleportation limit. She can go underground whenever she wants, and she has more shadow energy than she can spend.

A blue screen appeared in front of me.

After a day of arrogant growth, Bai Jinxuan realized how outrageous the cultivation resources of the First Sect were. While she still had a lot of credits, she would work hard to accumulate more and perhaps even reach the 4th rank in the next joint examination.

With that in mind, she carefully examined the most popular magic combo meals.

[Arrogance - Greatly increases your physical abilities and accelerates your magic absorption rate (20 credits/day)]

[—Greatly increases the stability of your magic circuits; you can absorb the other person's magic power through dual cultivation (20 credits/day)]

[Rage - Greatly increases your magical power and the destructive power of magic and martial arts. (20 credits/day)]

[Sloth - Greatly increases your mana consumption rate, doubling it while in hibernation (15 credits/day)]

[Binge eating - significantly increase the efficiency of your nutritious meal consumption (10 credits/day)]

Jealousy – Greatly increases your drug tolerance, allowing you to take more drugs in a shorter time (10 credits/day)

[Greed - Significantly increases your focus, you won't feel tired (1 credit/day)]

......

At first glance, apart from the first one, Pride, which was useful to Bai Jinxuan, the other spells were rather useless. If there was anything that could be of any use, it would be the last one, Greed.

Spending one credit per day can eliminate fatigue, essentially acting as an automatic energy booster.

Perfect timing! Because she had been killing Shadow Demons all night, Bai Jinxuan was extremely exhausted. She thought it was worth it to save 7 or 8 hours of sleep by spending just a few credits.

Without much thought, she immediately bought the new magic circle—Greed.

In an instant, the red six-pointed star on the school uniform began to rotate and shrink, forming a new small six-pointed star on the inside. Immediately afterwards, a warm current flowed from the magic circles on the chest, knees, and ankles.

The warm current flowed through my whole body, instantly sweeping away all the soreness and discomfort, as if I had slept soundly all night instead of fighting all night. I felt much more refreshed, both mentally and physically.

To exaggerate, she felt that she might be even better at fighting now than before she went to the dungeon yesterday.

"Is this amplification array really that powerful? Have those people in the lower city who drink energy potions experienced this feeling?"

Bai Jinxuan rubbed herself all over and tried to move around a bit, finally coming to a conclusion.

The Greed buff truly restores full health, and its effects are likely much greater than those of an Energy Potion. Now she understands what it feels like for others to drink a potion.

It's like someone who has gone through countless hardships to finally get a piece of the silver spoon that others were born with.
