Ding Yumian said, "When you summoned your summon beast, there was no Contract Gate. Isn't that special enough?"
Lin Chen smiled slightly and said, "Your Mind Element is also very special!"
Ding Yumian was stunned, her face pale. "I…"
The atmosphere suddenly became oppressive. As long as her emotions were slightly low, the invisible mental force fluctuations generated were unknown even to Ding Yumian herself.
Seeing this, Lin Chen restrained his smile and said seriously, "Don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions towards you. We are friends, aren't we?"
Upon hearing this, Ding Yumian's face brightened slightly. After a moment of silence, Ding Yumian smiled softly and said, "I'm sorry, I was a bit out of line just now. How did you know about my situation?"
Lin Chen feigned a reply, "I also have the Mind Element!"
Although Ding Yumian was The Afflicted of Mind, her mental force level was not as high as Lin Chen's, so when Ding Yumian's emotions were stable, it was impossible for her to have any effect on Lin Chen.
Of course, Lin Chen would not use the Mind Element on Ding Yumian; he was just looking for an excuse!
Ding Yumian suddenly realized, "No wonder!"
Through long-term contact with Lin Chen, she hadn't perceived any of his thoughts, which was already somewhat unusual.
As The Afflicted of Mind, when she interacted with people, she often uncontrollably read their thoughts. This unique talent, however, made her suffer greatly.
But every time she chatted with Lin Chen, she didn't have these troubles, which was one of the reasons she was willing to be friends with Lin Chen.
"If I say I can help you completely solve your troubles, would you be willing?" Lin Chen said with a serious expression.
In Lin Chen's view, being The Afflicted was a heaven-sent talent, and an extremely powerful one at that, but due to the limitations of the cultivation system, this powerful talent became uncontrollable.
The Afflicted possessed powerful energy but lacked a container to hold it. In the World of All Magic, almost every Afflicted eventually met a tragic end.
Ding Yumian was one of them. Her tragedy was regrettable, and her life was even more heartbreaking.
In this World where merely living was difficult, she shouldn't have to endure such grievances!
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Ding Yumian was startled at first. Soon, a self-deprecating smile appeared on her beautiful face, and she said, "You're joking again!"
Ding Yumian's troubles couldn't even be solved by Forbidden Magic, so she naturally didn't believe Lin Chen had the ability to solve them.
In fact, to avoid unnecessary trouble, she would probably stay in Mingzhu Academy her entire life.
Lin Chen smiled and said, "I know this is hard to believe, but I hope you'll still try. What if what I say is true?"
Ding Yumian smiled slightly and said, "I can try, but why? Why do you want to help me?"
Lin Chen chuckled, "Just consider it because I'm interested in you!"
For Lin Chen, the problem of The Afflicted was not difficult. Since there was no container, just give him a container, and Spirit happened to be the most perfect container.
Lin Chen had always wanted to help Ding Yumian awaken her Spirit, which would completely change her tragedy.
According to Lin Chen's speculation, Ding Yumian would most likely awaken a Spirit of the Spirit attribute.
Of course, Lin Chen's idea might also fail. After Ding Yumian awakened her Spirit, her Afflicted talent might still be uncontrollable, as Spirit lacked data as theoretical support in the World of All Magic.
But even if it failed, Ding Yumian didn't awaken a Spirit of the Spirit attribute as he imagined.
Lin Chen wouldn't worry at all, because there was still the Soul Core. Once Ding Yumian fused a mental force Soul Core, all problems would be solved easily.
The two of them were not very familiar before, making it hard to trust each other, but today, some issues were suddenly brought to light. Even if there was still a lack of trust, Lin Chen was willing to give it a try.
Ding Yumian's face flushed slightly, and she said shyly, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Clearly, Ding Yumian didn't believe Lin Chen's explanation; it was obviously a jest.
Lin Chen said, "Anyway, trying it won't cost you anything!"
Ding Yumian pondered for a moment and said, "How about we try?"
...
Half an hour later, Lin Chen and Ding Yumian arrived at a hotel closest to Mingzhu Academy. After learning the purpose of their trip, Ding Yumian's face was flushed.
Upon entering the room, many couple's items came into Ding Yumian's view. She whispered, "Lin Chen, how about we forget it? Let's go?"
Lin Chen saw Ding Yumian's embarrassment. He said, "Don't overthink it, we're here for serious business!"
"I..." Ding Yumian saw Lin Chen's insistence and hesitated to speak.
Lin Chen released his mental force and carefully probed every corner of the room. After finding nothing unusual, he drew the curtains.
In a blink of an eye, six black stones appeared in Lin Chen's hand.
Arranging the black stones into a hexagon, he looked at the bewildered Ding Yumian and said, "Actually, your problem is very easy to solve. In my opinion, being The Afflicted is a very powerful talent, but due to the limitations of the cultivation system, it has become a talent everyone fears."
"Next, I will help you awaken your Spirit. Spirit is a form of cultivation different from magic. If all goes well, awakening your Spirit will completely solve your problem!"
Ding Yumian looked at Lin Chen in shock, thinking to herself, "If Lin Chen's words are true, then Spirit must be incredibly precious. Why does he trust me so much? Isn't he afraid that I will reveal his secret?"
Ding Yumian was a little confused by Lin Chen's actions, but she was more touched. Recalling Lin Chen's previous words, Ding Yumian's frozen heart stirred with a ripple.
"What should I do?" Ding Yumian nodded and asked.
Lin Chen said, "Stand inside, don't panic, and feel the changes in your body with your heart!"
Ding Yumian hummed softly and, as Lin Chen instructed, stood in the center of the hexagon.
At this moment, the originally dim room suddenly became bright. Only then did she see a constantly rotating Tai Chi Bagua Diagram emerge beside Lin Chen, and a silver-white long sword slowly rose from the Bagua Diagram.
"This is my Spirit! It's also my secret, and you must keep it confidential for me!" Lin Chen explained.
Ding Yumian nodded in shock. Only at this moment did she confirm that Lin Chen had not lied to her. Perhaps this so-called Spirit could really allow her to control her Afflicted power! A faint glimmer of hope arose in her heart.
Lin Chen said, "Close your eyes and feel the changes in your body with your heart!"
Upon hearing this, Ding Yumian slowly closed her eyes.
With a thought from Lin Chen, six silver lights injected into the six black stones on the ground. Instantly, a golden glow was released from the six stones, forming a light golden罩 that enveloped Ding Yumian.
