She felt that what Shen Xi said made too much sense, yet she still replied, "It’s all my fault for being so useless, you don’t need to comfort me like this."
Shen Xi slightly shook his head, "I’m telling the truth, and our research has found that the more powerful the superpower, the more difficult it is to upgrade." This statement wasn’t a lie, for indeed, the greater the superpower, the more challenging the upgrade process becomes. However, if one’s talent is good, then the difficulty of upgrading is greatly reduced.
Shen Xi intentionally only mentioned one aspect, intending to put Lin Feiyin at ease. In reality, both he and Zheng Tianhe had begun to suspect that Lin Feiyin’s talent was not high. Yet the question was, how could she have developed the purification ability if her talent was not good?
Logically, those whose superpowers could mutate were usually people with good talent. And they had already discovered that it was somewhat easier for Water Element Superpower Users to upgrade compared to other systems, but Lin Feiyin had been unable to upgrade, which was hard to justify.
Thus, they began to suspect that there was something wrong with Lin Feiyin’s initial mutation. It was very probable that she had discovered something that had led to the mutation of her superpower.
Regarding this issue, people had asked her when they first discovered that Lin Feiyin’s superpower had mutated, but she had answered that she did not know herself; it seemed that the superpower had just suddenly mutated.
Of course, the researchers didn’t believe her, so they took a sample of Lin Feiyin’s blood for testing. Unfortunately, there had been no progress.
Therefore, this time, they deliberately kept Lin Feiyin to cooperate with their research.
And Shen Xi’s visit to Lin Feiyin had its purposes, too. It was not simply to chat and nurture rapport.
After he spoke again, Lin Feiyin sighed and said, "So that’s how it is; then do you know how I can upgrade?" Ever since she had been humiliated, she had been wanting to upgrade.
Why were those people afraid to offend Fang Yuxin yet dared to humiliate her? Wasn’t it because Fang Yuxin was a Wood Element Superpower User who had upgraded to the second level, while her superpower was still basic? Once she upgraded, she wanted to see if those people would still dare to offend her!
Unfortunately, her superpower had only reached the Primary Middle Stage, and upgrading was not something that could be achieved overnight.
Lin Feiyin was unaware of this situation, naively thinking that as long as she worked hard on her cultivation, she could upgrade quickly! The words of Shen Xi, although ostensibly complimentary, also made her worry. If her superpower was truly difficult to upgrade, what should she do to upgrade? She couldn’t be stuck at the basic level forever, could she? In that case, her value would be even lower!
Anxiety surged in her heart, and she couldn’t help but look to Shen Xi for help, "Mr. Shen, can you help me?"
Shen Xi then smiled, "It’s good that you trust me. So, are you willing to try this method?"
Lin Feiyin wanted to say she was unwilling, but under Shen Xi’s ’gentle’ gaze, her words came out as "I’m willing."
Upon hearing her response, Shen Xi’s smile grew warmer. He didn’t give Lin Feiyin a chance to regret her decision and immediately said, "Let’s begin now." With that, he took hold of Lin Feiyin’s wrist, rolling up her sleeve.
Biting off the cap of the syringe with his mouth, he said gently, "It might hurt a little, just bear with it."
Lin Feiyin nodded foolishly. Shen Xi’s hand was gloved in latex, slightly cool to the touch. Gripping her wrist in such a way, Lin Feiyin instinctively tensed up.
Shen Xi’s actions were quick. He held the syringe in one hand and accurately found the vein, tilting the needle and puncturing the skin, then pressed down on the plunger with his thumb, slowly injecting the liquid into Lin Feiyin’s bloodstream.
As the liquid entered her body, Lin Feiyin initially felt a swelling pain at the injection site, followed by a cold chill. As the chill entered her blood, an increasing sense of unease grew within Lin Feiyin.
She instinctively looked up and saw Shen Xi’s expressionless, handsome face. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation votes, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
