About half an hour later, Ji You came out of the testing pod, and immediately noticed that Principal Hong, Dr. Luo, and Teacher Mu Jianling were giving her strange looks.
Ji You subconsciously looked down at herself, not noticing anything odd, and with a sinking heart, she quietly asked, "Teachers... is my examination result not good?"
During the examination, Ji You was completely relaxed, and she even—accidentally fell asleep, so she didn’t know exactly what happened.
Mu Jianling looked at her and said indifferently, "Indeed it’s not ideal."
Ji You’s heart tightened: "No... that’s not possible, right?"
She had squandered 500 million worth of resources!
And also a High-level Soul Device.
Has there been no improvement at all?
Unable to say whether she was more disappointed or sad, Ji You forced a bitter smile and said, "I feel like I have improved."
Firstly, every single strand had grown several times thicker.
Secondly, the scope of her Spirit Space expanded again. Last time, after using Cloud Mist Tea, the Spirit Space expanded, but this time compared to the last was like comparing witchcraft to a grand sorcerer!
Previously, she had used a total of 10 grams of Cloud Mist Tea, and the total expansion of her Spirit Space was less than one meter—it was so minor that Ji You almost doubted the effectiveness of the Cloud Mist Tea. Fortunately, the effects of the Cloud Mist Tea were very evident on Xiao You, not only allowing her to feel her heartbeat, but the Iron Plate space also quietly expanded...
Ji You still couldn’t contact Xiao You, so she didn’t know the specific situation with Xiao You and the Iron Plate, but Ji You’s own Spirit Space had visibly doubled in size at least.
If her previous Spirit Space was the size of a bathroom, now, it was the size of a three-bedroom apartment.
Apart from these two major changes, Ji You swept away her previous exhaustion, feeling incredibly spirited; she felt she could run downstairs for 10 rounds without needing to stop.
How could it not be ideal?
Dr. Luo saw Mu Jianling habitually demoralizing Ji You and smiled, saying, "Ji You, first of all congratulations, your Spiritual Level has been raised from D to B."
Ji You jumped up, bursting into laughter: "Really? I reached B-level?"
Mu Jianling snorted coldly: "Just B-level, after using 500 million..."
Suddenly, a cold bucket of water poured over her head, and Ji You’s joy stopped abruptly...
Dr. Luo’s smile was gentle: "Jianling, stop demoralizing the child, it hasn’t been easy for her. The 500 million we gave are our retirement funds, and she will need to repay that debt."
Principal Hong, shaking his leg, said: "Repaying a lifetime of debt is indeed not easy."
Ji You’s spirits, which had been fiery, instantly cooled to an icy chill.
But in just a moment, Ji You regained her energy, and chuckled, "Teachers, Principal, don’t worry, I will definitely repay you, down to the last penny and not leave any debt unpaid."
Mu Jianling hummed lightly: "Really?"
Ji You nodded forcefully and said, "As cheeky as I can be, I would never embezzle your retirement funds, rest assured."
Principal Hong shook his leg, and then fluttered his hands with several debt contracts, saying, "It’s okay even if you default, since we have these contracts in hand."
"Look what you’re saying... am I that kind of person?" Ji You diligently moved closer to pour a cup of hot tea for Principal Hong, saying, "Debt or no debt, we will definitely repay it slowly in the future, but—Principal, could you please not play with those debt contracts? It really makes me nervous."
This feeling, how should I put it, it’s like my life is held in their hands, fluttering in the wind.
Principal Hong naturally picked up the hot tea poured by Ji You, took a small sip, and directly asked, "Do you know that your Spiritual Silk has its own consciousness?"
Ji You was startled, but quickly realized that the teachers must have discovered it. After thinking it over briefly, she felt that the few teachers present were trustworthy and did not hide anything, directly saying, "Yes, it does."
Ji You’s honest response somewhat surprised Mu Jianling, Principal Hong, and Dr. Luo.
Dr. Luo sighed softly, "You child, usually so slick and astute, why are you so honest when you need to be cautious? In the future, do not mention this to anyone beyond us."
Ji You put away her playful demeanor and sincerely said, "Because I trust that the teachers and the principal will not harm me."
If they really wanted to harm her, they wouldn’t provide her with a priceless High-level Soul Device.
If they really wanted to harm her, they wouldn’t have exhausted their savings during this major crisis in her spiritual power, helped stabilize her collapsing Spiritual World, and allowed her to break through the barriers and reach another level. Currently, the expanse of her Spirit Space has grown, and although Ji You does not yet know the benefits, she understands it’s extremely important.
If they wanted to harm her...
In any case, Ji You is not foolish; she trusts her feelings and the integrity of her teachers.
Hearing Ji You’s response, Dr. Luo’s gentle demeanor vanished, becoming extremely serious, "Do you know how many people in the world have the same condition as you?"
Ji You blinked, "How many?"
Dr. Luo’s tone remained serious, "As far as we know, you are the only one."
To be honest, she knew her Spiritual Silk was a bit special, but didn’t realize it was this unique. In the entire world, only her Spiritual Silk has independent consciousness?
Beside her, Mu Jianling, arms crossed and eyes cold, said, "So what does this tell you?"
Ji You raised her hand, scratching her head, her smile simple and honest: "It means—I am a genius among geniuses? A great figure unmatched in the future!"
Mu Jianling: "..." This content belongs to NovєlFіre.net
Principal Hong: "..."
The group fell silent for a moment, then Mu Jianling said irritably, "But you also need to stay alive till then, otherwise all is lost."
Ji You shivered with fright: "Then... what should I do?"
Mu Jianling’s expression became serious, "Get stronger! Strong enough that no one can do anything to you."
Ji You was deeply shaken.
Of course, she has to become stronger.
She wants to be strong enough not just to protect herself, but also those around her.
Regarding this, from the moment Ji You vowed to survive this era and protect Xiao You, all her friends, she has never wavered.
Ji You thought of a question. After deliberating the phrasing, she cautiously asked, "Teacher... may I ask, how strong do I need to be to take you three down all by myself?"
Quite ambitious, huh.
