Chapter 206

The red-haired Witch smiled, her golden pupils flashing with brilliant radiance; she raised her palm, and strand after strand of illusory chains clattered, dragging out vague, shadowy figures.

"Are those all existences dominated by Senior Sister?"

Qin Shi felt a slight chill in his heart; a professional-grade Spiritual Path was absolutely not that easy to deal with.

Moreover, Fish Senior Sister was a heaven's pride of the Four Great National Universities, the most outstanding student of Southwest United in over a dozen sessions, capable of creating her own Combat Method.

Snap!

Just as Qin Shi was pondering, a finger snap made the red-haired Witch reflected in his mind shatter abruptly, dispersing like smoke.

Wearing braided pigtails, the tranquil and gentle Yu Wei reappeared.

She gave Qin Shi a faint smile, as if nothing had happened:

"Walking the Spiritual Path, who isn't crazy? I just have a tiny bit of split personality, no big deal, Junior Brother Xiao Qin, you don't need to be surprised."

The corner of Qin Shi's mouth twitched; so the Spiritual Path producing geniuses and lunatics in equal measure isn't a rumor after all?

He silently put his curiosity back, not asking further.

Instead, it was Yu Wei who spoke up first:

"Junior Brother Xiao Qin, who do you think is prettier?"

"Ah?"

Qin Shi seemed not to have heard clearly.

"Me and her."

Yu Wei tilted her head and asked.

Aren't you two the same person?

Qin Shi slandered inwardly; a mental patient's world is hard to understand.

He was about to answer when his heart suddenly gave a "thump".

Wait!

Why am I able to assume that the "Fish Senior Sister" speaking to me right now is the real one?

"Senior Sister, you even gave her a name?"

Qin Shi turned his thoughts, deliberately stalling.

"She named herself. Since it's said to be split personality, she definitely treats herself as an independent individual."

Yu Wei leaned forward, leaning toward Qin Shi; those watery eyes were like a lake surface wrinkled by wind, rippling with shimmering light.

"Fish Senior Sister has a gentle temperament, more beautiful. You, one can only say your looks are passable."

Qin Shi retreated two steps, avoiding this overly intimate ambiguous gesture.

He could be certain the other party was still that red-haired Witch.

"Boring, couldn't fool you at all."

Yu Wei pouted, then giggled:

"My name is 'Yu Wei', remember it. Next time we meet, you have to call me Senior Sister Yu."

She used her hand as a pen, writing her name in the air.

"Senior Sister Yu, huh."

Qin Shi muttered a sentence, then looked at Yu Wei again; the other's gaze had already become clear.

She asked with slight nervousness:

"Junior Brother Xiao Qin, did you just see 'her'?"

"Mm, she said her name is Yu Wei."

Qin Shi told the truth.

"Fortunately she didn't hurt you."

Seeing Qin Shi safe and sound, Yu Wei let out a breath of relief.

Her "second personality" was moody and unpredictable, having caused several large-scale destructive incidents.

"Senior Sister, this split personality problem of yours, can't it be solved?"

Qin Shi asked hesitantly.

"For now it's rather difficult. After the Spiritual Path enters the professional grade, it seeks the ultimate Transformation on the spiritual level."

Yu Wei explained as she walked forward:

"Cultivation below the Saint Embryo stage only requires accumulating 'quantity', continuously stacking Spiritual Field Power, strengthening the Consciousness Sea. But after condensing the Saint Embryo, to break through to Sitting Forgetting, one must undergo several Sublimations.

This process is very dangerous, because the path of Sublimation is hidden in the Netherworld; the deeper your spirit delves, the higher the probability of being contaminated."

Qin Shi raised an eyebrow; no wonder Spiritual Path practitioners more or less have a few screws loose — each one is practically a potential contaminated person.

He seemed to somewhat understand why the Dongxia Education Commission only promotes the Martial Path and popularizes education in that area.

If the Spiritual Path were rolled out on a large scale, who knows, it might produce a bunch of anti-social elements and powerful lunatics with mental loss of control.

According to what Lin Yunqing said, even the Shen Neng Xi of a First-Rank Academy like Qiguang Heng University only has teaching materials related to the Saint Embryo stage.

For what comes after, one must join a Confidential Department or serve a Super Consortium to possibly continue.

"They all say the end of the Spiritual Path is either ascending to a God's position or turning into a monster."

Yu Wei walked with hands behind her back, her tone rarely playful:

"So, my wish since childhood has been to become a 'Goddess'."

Qin Shi lowered his head; he sensed a trace of grayness from Fish Senior Sister's words.

For the Spiritual Path, this is obviously not a good omen.

Spiritual decline is far more severe than physical injury.

"Senior Sister, you just had a portion of your Shen Nian 'stolen' by me, are you okay?"

Qin Shi suddenly recalled how Yu Weiyi had playfully fought with him, triggering 【Heart of Steel】 and having his spirit plundered.

"It's nothing, it can't hurt me. Little Qin Shidi, your spirit only possesses a Holy Embryo Prototype and hasn't fully crossed into this level."

Yu Weiyi shook her head; she was more surprised than anything. Logically speaking, Qin Shi hadn't entered the Professional Domain, so how could he have Refined a "Trait"?

Senior Sister is truly gentle.

Qin Shi smiled, somehow managing to say something like "I'm a weakling in the Spiritual Path" so euphemistically.

"By the way, Little Qin Shidi, since you're advancing along two paths simultaneously, that barrier to entering the Professional Domain will probably be especially thick."

Yu Weiyi said:

"During your time in Center City, I'll be your Spiritual Ability teacher, training your mental offense and defense."

Qin Shi shrugged, showing he was fearless; he had always been the Legendary Endurance King.

Neither Lao Liang nor Lao Zhang had ever managed to wear him out in training.

As for a beautiful and generous "teacher" like Senior Sister Yu, she didn't look threatening at all.

This Senior Sister and Shidi of Nanhuang Dojo walked along the State Guesthouse entrance straight to the forest path behind; Secretary Huo handled the check-in procedures, so Qin Shi and Yu Weiyi could leisurely enjoy the scenery inside.

Not long after, they were taken by the hotel's reception staff to a standalone villa to stay.

Huo Erwen had been waiting for a long time; he looked at Qin Shi and said:

"Qin Classmate, the Governor's Mansion's Award Ceremony will be held in two days. Before that, you have no fixed schedule and can move about freely.

However, we just received news that the Ying Clan hopes to have a face-to-face meeting with you."

……

……

Inside the State Guesthouse, Chen Caier returned to another villa in a daze.

A young man in white loose training clothes was practicing boxing by the lake, his strikes light and floating, his movements extremely slow.

Seeing Chen Caier like this, he couldn't help but smile and say:

"I told you not to provoke Nanhuang Dojo. Yu Weiyi is a once-in-a-century spiritual ability genius of Southwest United; in a place where seventy percent are male students, a thorny rose like her appearing—you can imagine how much she's admired.

This Spiritual Ability Witch has caused several major disasters, yet it doesn't affect her scholarship or national projects; even if you bring up your father's background, it won't shake her."

Perhaps the psychological shadow was too deep; just hearing the name "Yu Weiyi" made Chen Caier instinctively shrink her neck.

Just now, being dragged into the Mental Space by her, she inexplicably felt as if she had become her "slave," her body and mind involuntarily so.

The white-clad youth heard this and smiled lightly, saying:

"Yu Weiyi is called the 'Witch' because she entered the Professional Domain, traversed the Netherworld, dove into the ocean, and reached an extremely terrifying Depth Value of nine thousand nine hundred. It's said she eliminated a great demon and completed the Domination Ritual.

Since then, any existence whose Heart Spirit Level is inferior to hers has a chance of being affected by 'Domination'."

Chen Caier hugged her arms, feeling cold as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

She didn't dare recall that terrifying woman at all, not even daring to outline her appearance in her mind.

"Behave yourself for a few days. Recently, undercurrents are surging; that Qin Classmate, the Top of the Hundred Strong Competition, is exactly at the center of the vortex."

The white-clad youth put away his stance; a brilliant radiance woven from rich Qi Life Force surged within his body, displaying his extraordinary nature.

"Speaking of which, Ying Lin had once invited me. However, the Ying Clan's orders arrived first; according to the news I received, the famous Nine Surnames Ying Clan hopes to reconcile with Qin Shi."
