Chapter 290 Danger 3
The villagers carried Lingyu to the best house in the village to rest, and even brought out various nourishing herbs to make soup for her. Lingyu remained unconscious for three days and three nights before slowly waking up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a group of children gathered around her bed, their eyes filled with reverence.
The village chief entered the house, carrying an antique box. "Miss Lingyu, this is an heirloom passed down through our family for generations, which I now present to you. Although it is not a priceless treasure, it is said to possess mysterious power that can replenish spiritual energy." Lingyu was surprised and moved. She took the box, opened it, and found a bead inside that emitted a soft blue light.
The moment she touched the bead, it merged into her palm, and a warm current flowed through her body, allowing her to feel her depleted spiritual energy rapidly recovering. Lingyu knew this was the villagers' most sincere gratitude.
After resting for a few days, Lingyu decided to leave and continue her journey. Before she departed, the entire village, young and old, came to see her off, and the children presented her with hand-woven flower wreaths to place on her head. Lingyu set off with a heart full of warmth, knowing that this affection would become a powerful source of motivation for her journey. Lingyu hadn't gone far from the village when she heard a commotion behind her. She turned around and saw a cloud of black mist spreading towards the village. Startled, Lingyu realized something was wrong and immediately turned and ran back.
It turned out that the black mist was the manifestation of an evil demon. It had smelled the aura of the Spirit Pearl and was attempting to steal it. After arriving at the village, Ling Yu quickly organized the villagers to hide in the basement. Then, she stood at the village entrance, forming hand seals, preparing to fight the demon.
The monster revealed itself to be a gigantic three-headed demonic hound. It roared and charged at Ling Yu, who nimbly dodged, simultaneously unleashing a spiritual attack. However, the monster's hide was thick and tough, making ordinary attacks ineffective. Just as the monster lunged again, Ling Yu remembered the mysterious power she had just acquired.
She concentrated her mind, gathering the power fused with the bead within her body into her palm, and then unleashed a blue light that struck the demon. The demon howled in pain upon being hit, its body gradually dissipating. With the crisis averted, the villagers emerged from their basements, their gratitude and respect for Lingyu growing even stronger. Lingyu's resolve to improve her strength and protect the kind-hearted was further solidified, and she resumed her journey. After traveling for several days, Lingyu arrived at an ancient city. The city was bustling with activity, but Lingyu sensed an unusual aura. Following the aura, she discovered an underground arena. A brutal competition was underway there, with participants consisting of humans or demons possessing special abilities.
Lingyu decided to investigate further, so she disguised herself as a contestant and infiltrated the arena. On the field, her opponents were exceptionally fierce, and Lingyu struggled to cope using only her own strength. Just at the crucial moment, she grasped a new technique for utilizing spiritual power, defeating her opponent in one fell swoop.
However, the mastermind behind the arena discovered Ling Yu's intentions and dispatched numerous subordinates to surround and eliminate her. Undeterred, Ling Yu used the arena's environment to her advantage. During the battle, she unexpectedly awakened another hidden power within the beads—the power of space. Using this power, Ling Yu created multiple illusions to confuse her enemies, ultimately breaking through their encirclement.
After this battle, Lingyu's reputation soared, but she did not stop there. Instead, she ventured into a wider world to seek more opportunities to improve her strength. With the belief of protecting justice and kindness in her heart, she overcame all obstacles along the way.
