Chapter 83 - 78: Spiritual Link, Mind Sensing

From within the upgrading RV, waves of spiritual fluctuations pulsed...

From a nearby hotel, Chen Yanyan slowly emerged, followed by Han Yuxin, who wanted a piece of the live-insect business.

Gazing at the trembling beneath the tarp outside the distant auto shop, Han Yuxin said with a smile:

"Miss Chen, you’re quite bold. Aren’t you afraid that superstar actress will eat your boyfriend alive? With Jiang Yun’er’s credentials, she’s far superior to any of us. Whether it’s her figure, looks, or ability and status..."

"Especially since you yourself said that the strange Spiritual Ability she had an early Awakening of, paired with her peerless beauty, is a perfect combination for bewitching and manipulating people."

Chen Yanyan shook her head and returned a confident smile. Her gaze, fixed on the auto shop, held not a trace of worry.

"Rest assured. Jiang Yun’er has clearly lost control of her Spiritual Superpower. Didn’t you see her run over here, half-conscious and whispering for help...?"

"Sometimes, being too powerful isn’t necessarily a good thing."

"But even so, the gap in their Spirit is more than twofold in his favor. She can’t affect Lin Feng at all."

"Especially inside that RV. No one can challenge Lin Feng’s dominance in there..."

Chen Yanyan’s eyes narrowed. She knew better than anyone just how powerful the RV was—or rather, how uncanny it was in the Spirit World.

The last time the RV was upgraded, her spiritual consciousness was pulled inside, entering a desolate world where an armored RV waited in silence.

She had told Lin Feng that she was just tinkering with the RV,

but the reality was far more than that.

Why would simply controlling the fusion of parts and materials make Chen Yanyan so afraid?

The true reason was what she saw in that wondrous, immersive state: when her spiritual consciousness looked up, she saw a black Sun in the sky.

She had fallen from inside it.

And at the edge of the black Sun, an eerie, perpetually bleeding corona seemed to tear the very sky asunder.

It was just as Lin Feng had asked when they first met: had she ever seen a total solar eclipse?

Of course, she had glimpsed one, but it was nothing like the uncanny, blood-red corona hanging overhead in the RV’s Spirit World. What she had seen back then was just a normal eclipse with a pale white halo.

Chen Yanyan had never mentioned this to anyone, but that uncanny image was etched into her memory.

She then realized that the secrets Lin Feng carried were far greater than the various miracles he displayed on the surface.

The truly terrifying part lay within Lin Feng’s own heart.

That was why Chen Yanyan wanted to use this method to see if Jiang Yun’er could stabilize her chaotic Spiritual Power through her interaction with Lin Feng.

If she still couldn’t tame this Superpower, letting Lin Feng try himself might produce a miraculous result.

It was just like during the last RV’s fusion and modification—the ’growth’ she’d experienced with Lin Feng had been immensely helpful to her.

After continuing for more than an hour, the spiritual fluctuations emanating from the RV gradually subsided.

「11:30 PM.」

The armored RV’s modification was still in progress.

In the bedroom, Lin Feng quickly realized the woman beside him wasn’t Chen Yanyan, but Jiang Yun’er—who had no business being inside the armored RV.

’I must have been affected by her Spiritual Superpower, briefly losing my judgment.’

Although that power was no longer overflowing from her, Lin Feng quickly discovered that something seemed very wrong with Jiang Yun’er’s condition.

She was still in the middle of her full Awakening, and the process had gone wrong.

Chaotic Spiritual Power was continuously surging from her brain. If it didn’t stabilize soon, the intense spiritual fluctuations would blast her mind, turning her into a vegetable.

Her feverish brain caused the blood to race through her body. When Lin Feng switched on the soft bedside lamp to check on her, he saw her snow-white skin flushed a lustrous pink. Curled and trembling, she looked like a delicate, tender pink kitten.

Unfortunately, her state was already critical.

Lin Feng immediately used his Identification Skill, hoping to get a clearer picture of her situation and find a way to save her.

’Can’t let her die in my RV. If she’s found here, I’ll never be able to clear my name.’

As he used the Identification Skill, the results quickly materialized before his eyes:

「Jiang Yun’er, Lv. 10/19 (Upgrading)」

「Life Value: 57, Physique: 56, Spirit: 66」

「Superpower Awakening: Mind Control (Can control creatures with a Spiritual Value less than half of her own; max total Spirit of controlled creatures: 33)」

「Evaluation: A human female with extremely high spiritual talent. However, even a weakened version of the Mother Empress’s Superpower is too much for a human with a frail Physique to wield. She needs a much stronger Physique, or she must find a way to disperse and lower her Spiritual Power.」

「Target’s mental state is abnormal. By maintaining the spiritual link, you can absorb and bear a portion of her dissipating Spiritual Power.」

After reading the description from the Identification, Lin Feng froze for a moment. ’What does it mean, "maintain the spiritual link" and "absorb her dissipating Spiritual Power"?!’

’Could it be like with Chen Yanyan’s Spiritual Superpower before? That after ’developing’ with me, the Superpower itself advances?’

The situation was critical, leaving Lin Feng no time to hesitate. He leaned down, gathered the feverishly hot ’pink kitten’ into his arms, and tried to maintain their link.

Before long, Lin Feng saw the text "Spirit +1" float before his eyes.

The chaotic spiritual fluctuations in the brain of the woman in his arms also subsided by a fraction.

’It’s working...’

......

Outside the auto shop, Chen Yanyan saw the tarp, which had just grown still, begin to stir again. She froze mid-step.

Finally, she turned back with an awkward smile:

"Looks like I’ll have to impose on Miss Han for the night."

Han Yuxin replied knowingly:

"I think we have much more to talk about, especially when it comes to Lin Feng."

"Perhaps in the future, Miss Chen will need other women to help you... share the burden that is Lin Feng."

......

「The next morning」 Lin Feng woke and looked at the woman sleeping peacefully in his arms. Her breathing was even, her complexion rosy.

She was sleeping soundly.

’Good, she’s safe and sound.’

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally saved her.

Then, a notification popped up before his eyes.

It was an update notification for his personal Attributes:

「Lin Feng, Lv. 19/19」

「Life Value: 150, Physique: 150, Spirit: 155」

「Skills: Identification, Upgrade, Copy」

「New Extra Ability: Mind Sensing」

「Evaluation: An effect derived from the Copy Skill via a spiritual link. While it cannot control other living beings, it allows you to sense all existences with a Life Value over 50 within a three-kilometer radius.」

「Note: An empathic link with the original host will be permanently established, allowing you to feel each other’s mental states and mutually influence one another.」

After reading about the new changes, Lin Feng froze for a moment, then was overcome with ecstasy.

’Could this be the benefit of Breaking the Limit?!’
