Cosmic-Level Demon God

The red-haired witch smiled, golden pupils flashing with brilliant light. She raised her hand, and chains of illusion clinked, dragging out shadowy, indistinct figures.

"Are those beings controlled by Senior Sister?"

Qin Shi felt a chill in his heart. The Spiritual Ability Path at the Specialized Level was definitely not easy to deal with.

Moreover, Senior Sister Yu was a prodigy of the Four National Universities, the best student in the Southwest United for several generations, capable of creating her own combat techniques.

Snap!

While Qin Shi was pondering, a snap of fingers made the red-haired witch in his mind suddenly shatter, dissipating like smoke.

Yu Weiwei, with a gentle and serene demeanor, reappeared, her hair tied in braids.

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

"Those who walk the Spiritual Ability Path are a bit mad. I just have a small case of spiritual split personality; it's no big deal, Junior Qin, you don't need to be surprised."

Qin Shi's mouth twitched. So the rumor that the Spiritual Ability Path produces geniuses and madmen wasn't a lie?

He quietly stowed his curiosity away and did not ask further.

Instead, Yu Weiwei took the initiative to speak:

"Junior Qin, tell me, who do you think looks better?"

"Huh?"

Qin Shi seemed to not understand.

"Me or her?"

Yu Weiwei tilted her head and asked.

Aren't you both the same person?

Qin Shi grumbled internally, finding the world of the mentally ill hard to comprehend.

Just as he was about to answer, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Wait!

Why am I assuming that the "Senior Sister Yu" talking to me now is the real one?

"Senior Sister, did you give her a name?"

Qin Shi racked his brains, deliberately stalling.

"She named herself. I told you, it's a case of spiritual split personality, she definitely sees herself as an independent individual."

Yu Weiwei leaned forward towards Qin Shi, her eyes, like a lake ruffled by the wind, shimmered with rippling light.

"Senior Sister Yu has a gentle temperament and is more beautiful. As for you, I'd say you're just passable."

Qin Shi took two steps back to avoid the overly intimate action.

He could confirm that the person in front of him was still the red-haired witch.

"Boring, I couldn't fool you."

Yu Weiwei pouted, then giggled:

"My name is 'Yu Wei,' remember that. Next time we meet, you should call me Senior Sister Yu."

She used her hand as a pen and wrote her name in the air.

"Senior Sister Yu, huh."

Qin Shi murmured, then looked at Yu Weiwei again, and her eyes had already regained their clarity.

She asked with some nervousness:

"Junior Qin, did you just meet 'her'?"

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

Qin Shi replied truthfully.

"Fortunately, she didn't harm you."

Seeing that Qin Shi was unscathed, Yu Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief.

Her "second personality" was capricious and had caused several large-scale destructive events.

"Senior Sister, can't you solve the problem of your split personality?"

Qin Shi hesitantly asked.

"It's quite difficult for now. After entering the Specialized Level of the Spiritual Ability Path, one seeks ultimate transformation on the mental level."

Yu Weiwei explained while walking forward:

"Before the Holy Embryo Stage, cultivation only requires accumulating 'quantity,' continuously adding spiritual power and enhancing the sea of consciousness. But after condensing the Holy Embryo, to break through to Sitting and Forgetting, multiple sublimations are necessary.

This process is very dangerous because the path of sublimation hides in the Netherworld. The deeper your mind goes, the higher the chance of being polluted."

Qin Shi raised an eyebrow, no wonder those on the Spiritual Ability Path always had some quirks; they were all potential pollution cases.

He seemed to understand why the Dongxia Education Commission only promoted the Martial Arts Path and popularized its educational content.

If the Spiritual Ability Path were widespread, it might create a group of anti-social individuals and powerful madmen with uncontrolled minds.

According to Lin Yunqing, even in top-tier academies like Qiguang Heng University, the Spiritual Ability System only had related textbooks up to the Holy Embryo Stage.

After that, one had to join secretive departments or serve super consortia to continue down the path.

"They say the end of the Spiritual Ability Path is to either ascend to godhood or become a monster."

Yu Weiwei, with her hands behind her back, spoke in an uncharacteristically playful tone:

"So, my lifelong wish has been to become a 'goddess'.

Qin Shi bowed his head, sensing a hint of gloom in Senior Sister Yu's words.

For the Spiritual Ability Path, this was clearly not a good omen.

Mental deterioration is far more severe than physical wounds.

"Senior Sister, are you alright after I 'stole' part of your spiritual power earlier?"

Qin Shi suddenly remembered the incident where Yu Weiwei had triggered [Steel of the Heart] and had her spirit plundered during their playful tussle.

"It's fine, it can't harm me. Junior Qin, your mind only has a prototype of the Holy Embryo, not fully into this level yet."

Yu Weiwei shook her head, feeling more surprised. Normally, Qin Shi had not stepped into the Specialized Domain, so how could he refine a 'trait'?

Senior Sister is truly gentle.

Qin Shi smiled, amazed at how she could put "I am weak in the Spiritual Ability Path" so politely.

"By the way, Junior Qin, since you are progressing on two paths concurrently, the barrier to entering the Specialized Domain will be particularly thick."

Yu Weiwei said:

"During your time in Central City, let me be your Spiritual Ability System teacher and train your mental offense and defense techniques."

Qin Shi shrugged, showing no fear. He had always been the Legendary Endurance King.

Even Old Liang and Old Zhang couldn't exhaust him.

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

The two, hailing from the Nanhuang Daoist School, walked along the forest path behind the National Guest House, with Holvren Secretary handling the check-in, allowing Qin Shi and Yu Weiwei to comfortably appreciate the interior scenery.

Not long after, they were taken to an independent villa arranged by the hotel staff.

Holvren had been waiting for a while and said to Qin Shi:

"Mr. Qin, the Governor's Mansion award ceremony will be held in two days. Before that, you have no specific schedule and can move freely.

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

...

...

Inside the National Guest House, Chen Cai'Er returned to another villa, looking despondent.

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

Seeing Chen Cai'Er like this, he couldn't help but smile and said:

"I told you not to provoke the Nanhuang Daoist School. Yu Weiwei is a rare spiritual genius in a century of the Southwest United. Such a rose with thorns in a place with seventy percent male students—imagine the level of adoration.

This Spiritual Witch has caused a few major disasters, yet it hasn't affected her scholarships or national projects; even if you pull out your father's background, it won't shake her."

Perhaps due to a heavy psychological shadow, Chen Cai'Er recoiled instinctively at the mere mention of "Yu Weiwei."

Being dragged into the Spiritual Space just now, she inexplicably felt like becoming the other's "slave," her body and mind involuntarily subdued.

The young man in white chuckled at this and said:

"Yu Weiwei is called a 'witch' because she has entered the Specialized Domain, trekked the Netherworld, dove into the ocean to a terrifying 9,900 depth value. It's said she destroyed a Great Demon and completed a domination ritual.

Since then, any existence whose spiritual level is inferior to hers has a chance of being 'dominated' and influenced."

Chen Cai'Er hugged her arms, feeling as if she had fallen into an icy abyss, shivering from the cold.

She didn't dare to recall that terrifying woman or even visualize her image in her mind.

"Behave yourself for the next few days. Lately, there's been a surge of hidden undercurrents, and Mr. Qin, the top contender of the prestigious contest, is at the eye of the storm."

The young man in white put away his stance. The dazzling glow of intertwined life force flowing within his body was a sign of his exceptional prowess.

"Speaking of which, Ying Lin once invited me. But Ying's order came earlier; from what I hear, the renowned nine-surnamed Ying family hopes to reconcile with Qin Shi."
