“Alright.”
Bai Shuanglian first sized up Ling Xiaoyou’s condition.
Seeing that she had almost fully recovered, she nodded and agreed.
The two of them found a relatively open spot in the dense forest.
Ling Xiaoyou immediately looked at Bai Shuanglian and asked,
“So, what should I train first next?”
“Mm.”
Bai Shuanglian thought for a moment, recalling the training Plan Book, then said,
“Let’s start with magic training, and then move on to weapon training for you, Xiaoyou.”
“OK!”
Ling Xiaoyou nodded her small head energetically.
She was also quite satisfied with this training arrangement.
After all, although having System-chan directly add magic points for her was indeed convenient, she couldn’t always rely on System-chan.
What if System-chan suddenly disappeared one day?
Wouldn’t she be in trouble then?
Moreover, there was another important point—the later upgrades of System-chan were just too expensive!
She really couldn’t afford them! It was better to try training herself!
Thinking of those upgrade points that started with several zeros, Ling Xiaoyou felt her fighting spirit burn even fiercer!
So, she lightly waved her small hand, and the Xuan Yuan Water Control Technique quietly operated, further strengthening her already powerful water manipulation abilities and reducing her spiritual energy consumption.
Ling Xiaoyou gently brushed her small hand across the dim sky before her.
Where her hand passed, rolling dark clouds appeared in the sky, bringing thunder and sweet rain.
Myriad Transforming Rains!
Raindrops began to fall across the world with a soft ‘shila-la,’ starting as a light drizzle like silver threads, then gradually intensifying as the wind howled, accompanied by thunder as if the heavens were angry.
Ling Xiaoyou bathed in the downpour created by herself, yet, strangely, was not drenched at all.
After all, if one had to say it, this rain could also be considered a part of her.
Since it was a part of herself, how could she get wet?
She lifted her small face, feeling the cool, gentle touch of raindrops on her cheeks as they passed through her body and into the earth, leaving her heart so refreshed.
Ah, using magic without restraint really is the best!
Ling Xiaoyou thought happily.
Even when she practiced magic on her own before, she had always tried to restrain herself.
After all, if she accidentally destroyed some equipment in the training ground, that would be bad.
Her magic’s area of effect was quite large, and a slight lapse in attention could easily affect those devices.
Only when fighting the demon last time did she use it without holding back.
But now, they were in a deserted forest, so there was no need to worry about affecting passersby or damaging equipment—they could cast magic freely!
Thinking so, Ling Xiaoyou snapped her fingers.
With a not-so-crisp ‘pa’ sound, the raindrops in the sky gathered and transformed under her control.
When they landed, they were no longer droplets, but small, adorable, water-blue animals.
The little animals looked at the world with innocent eyes, as if they truly possessed wisdom.
Ling Xiaoyou waved at the little animals, and then a fluffy little kitten emerged from the group, walking nimbly and elegantly to her side and rubbing against her outstretched hand.
Then, it slightly opened its mouth, as if wanting to meow, but before any sound came out, its body burst into a splash of water.
If Ling Xiaoyou weren’t immune to being soaked by her own water, that splash would’ve drenched her face.
“Mm, as expected, making them produce sound is still a bit too difficult.”
Ling Xiaoyou murmured, looking at the puddle left behind by the exploded kitten.
Still, she wasn’t sad about the kitten’s explosion.
After all, these water creatures didn’t possess true intelligence.
They only seemed intelligent, but were actually moving according to her control.
“Perhaps, Xiaoyou, you can try mixing a bit of your own Yin Qi into the water.”
Bai Shuanglian crouched down, gently stroking a water-blue rabbit, and spoke to Ling Xiaoyou.
“Eh? Mixing in Yin Qi?”
Ling Xiaoyou was stunned, not quite understanding why Bai Shuanglian would suggest this.
But she subconsciously followed Bai Shuanglian’s words, blending a bit of her own Yin Qi into the falling rain.
Then, she was stunned again, and then surprised.
Because she clearly felt that the water flow, which had always felt as if there was a membrane between her control and it, now moved as smoothly as her own arm.
“Yin Qi is a unique personal signature for a Spirit. Each Spirit’s Yin Qi is completely different.”
Bai Shuanglian explained, seeing Ling Xiaoyou’s surprised expression.
“You can think of it like human blood. Although it doesn’t have the same functions as blood, it serves to distinguish different Spirits.”
Ling Xiaoyou nodded her small head, half-understanding.
Bai Shuanglian saw her expression and knew she hadn’t fully grasped it, so she continued,
“Because of its uniqueness, this Yin Qi always carries some of your personal imprint. So, when that personal imprint touches the water, your control over it becomes greatly strengthened.”
“Oh, I see.”
Ling Xiaoyou made a face of sudden realization, though in truth, she only understood the general idea.
Anyway, as long as she used Yin Qi, her control over water would become much stronger—that’s enough to know!
Thinking this, Ling Xiaoyou happily continued training her magic, practicing until her spiritual energy was nearly depleted.
Looking at the various small animals and plants around her, Ling Xiaoyou nodded in satisfaction, then waved her small hand, turning them all back into water, which flowed into her palm and replenished her spent spiritual energy.
After resting for a while, Ling Xiaoyou took out her ‘Yúnshuǐ Bow,’ looked at Bai Shuanglian, and said expectantly,
“Bai Shuanglian, Bai Shuanglian, look at my pose with the bow!”
As she spoke, she struck what she thought was a cool pose in front of Bai Shuanglian.
In Bai Shuanglian’s eyes, however, it was simply adorable and silly.
“How is it? Isn’t it cool?!”
After striking the pose, Ling Xiaoyou looked at Bai Shuanglian expectantly.
“Yes, yes, very cool.”
Bai Shuanglian certainly wouldn’t say what she was actually thinking.
Otherwise, this girl would get upset again.
She ruffled Ling Xiaoyou’s small head, then pointed at a big tree not far away.
“Next, let’s try hitting the trunk of that tree.”
“Mm!”
Ling Xiaoyou nodded repeatedly.
The long-awaited archery segment had finally arrived!
