Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears

Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Spiritual Mind Master, Materialized Mental Power

Several hundred meters away, atop the canopy of a massive, ancient tree.

A slender-faced youth sat cross-legged, a faint glow flickering between his brows—a sign of Mental Power manifesting physically.

This was Qin Feng, the most outstanding Spiritual Mind Master of his year at Jiang City Lingwu High School.

’Hm? I’ve been discovered?’

A trace of astonishment appeared on Qin Feng’s face.

’She actually detected my Spiritual Lock? And she’s tracing it back?’

’Her Mental Power… is actually at the First-Grade Middle Stage?’

Qin Feng was genuinely shocked. This was something he hadn’t expected at all.

’Isn’t this Gu Yuexi just some Flower Vase Beauty with decent Martial Dao skills? If she hadn’t gotten lucky and contracted that ridiculous mosquito, she probably would never have amounted to anything.’

’To think she had another trick up her sleeve.’

’But so what?’

Qin Feng was only briefly surprised.

’She’s just a Beast Tamer. No matter how strong her Mental Power is, it’s only used to support her Contracted Beast.’

’But I am a Spiritual Mind Master! I specialize in spiritual annihilation!’

’A First-Grade Late Stage Spiritual Mind Master, when launching a sneak attack, is confident he could make even a Second-Grade Martial Artist suffer a major loss, let alone her.’

He was confident he had a hundred ways to easily kill this Flower Vase Beauty!

The corners of Qin Feng’s mouth curled up slightly, and he couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

He hadn’t expected his luck to be this good, running into his primary target right after entering the Secret Realm.

As long as he killed her, the final payment of three million promised by that mysterious person would be his!

Three million!

Just thinking of that number made Qin Feng’s heart pound uncontrollably.

He came from a poor background. To have gotten this far, he had relied entirely on his own talent and life-or-death effort!

But even if he was number one in an unpopular major, could easily get into a top-tier Lingwu University, and receive a sizable scholarship, the most he’d get would be four or five hundred thousand.

And now, there was a sum of three million—practically free money—right in front of him…

Qin Feng truly had no reason to refuse!

As for the identity of the mysterious employer and why they specifically wanted Gu Yuexi dead, he didn’t know, nor did it matter!

All he had to do was take the money and do the job.

Gu Yuexi had to die here today!

…

’Hm? He wants to kill me?’

Gu Yuexi raised a slight eyebrow. From the Mental Power that had locked onto her, she felt an undisguised killing intent.

She understood instantly.

’It seems that Leng Yan really hasn’t given up. He actually bribed another candidate to get rid of me in the Secret Realm.’

’A very clever approach, indeed…’

After all, according to the rules, there were no restrictions on conflicts between candidates inside the Secret Realm. They were responsible for their own lives and deaths, and no one would be held accountable.

This was a rule specifically established by the upper echelons of the Great Xia to cultivate a fighting spirit in the new generation.

In this era, hothouse flowers couldn’t be trusted with great responsibilities…

’A First-Grade Late Stage Spiritual Mind Master… that must be Qin Feng, right?’

Gu Yuexi quickly deduced the owner of the Mental Power and couldn’t help but snort coldly.

If she remembered correctly, in her previous life, this genius from the Spiritual Mind Master major had died a violent death while breaking through to the Third-Grade, unable to withstand the immense backlash of Mental Power.

In this world, the path of Spiritual Cultivation was divided into several branches.

Besides Beast Tamer, the most mainstream and safest path, there were also a series of unpopular yet powerful branches like Spiritual Mind Master, Array Master, and Illusionist.

The reason Beast Taming became mainstream was because it was the safest path. The purpose of cultivating Mental Power was essentially “support” and “communication”—to establish a link with a Contracted Beast and command it in battle. The risk was virtually zero.

Spiritual Mind Masters, however, were completely different.

They turned their Mental Power into the sharpest of weapons, directly attacking an enemy’s soul and consciousness. Their methods were strange and unpredictable, allowing them to kill without a trace.

But this cultivation method was also extremely dangerous. Every session of cultivation and every breakthrough was like dancing on a knife’s edge. The slightest mistake could result in a Mental Power backlash, which at best would turn one into an idiot, and at worst, cause immediate brain death.

Logically speaking, a Beast Tamer with First-Grade Middle Stage Mental Power should have absolutely no way of withstanding a Spiritual Attack from a First-Grade Late Stage Spiritual Mind Master who specialized in killing.

Unfortunately for him…

She was Gu Yuexi!

Just then, a sharp, cold spike of Mental Power, like a poison-laced steel needle, stabbed silently toward her Sea of Consciousness!

Spiritual Spike!

This was the most basic and most commonly used attack for a Spiritual Mind Master.

Had it been any other student, even a genius like Zhao Qingtian, they would have been struck by a splitting headache and mental confusion in the face of this sudden blow.

However, Gu Yuexi didn’t even furrow her brow.

The instant the Spiritual Spike was about to touch her Sea of Consciousness, an invisible barrier made of Mental Power, rippling like water, quietly materialized on its surface.

The Void Observation Technique—Heart Guardian Wall!

DING!

A crisp sound that only she could hear rang in her mind.

The aggressive Spiritual Spike slammed into the Heart Guardian Wall and, like melting ice, instantly dissipated into Nothingness.

’That’s it?’

Gu Yuexi remained expressionless and muttered mockingly, “Have you not eaten?”

Chu Sheng looked up, bewildered. “BZZZ? (Why are you suddenly asking that? No, wait, why are you just standing there frozen? You know I haven’t eaten, so why aren’t you finding some Demon Beasts for me to suck on? Are you trying to starve me to death so we can die together?)”

With his Mental Power level infinitely close to that of a normal person, he hadn’t realized in the slightest that the Empress was already engaged in battle.

Gu Yuexi: “…”

…

In the distance, Qin Feng’s body jolted, and his face instantly paled.

’How is that possible?!’

His face was filled with disbelief.

’It was… blocked? And so effortlessly, at that?’

’My Spiritual Attack was like a clay ox sinking into the sea—it didn’t even create a single ripple!’

’This woman… she’s also cultivated a specialized Spiritual Defense Secret Technique?’

Qin Feng’s expression became one of shock and uncertainty.

However, he quickly calmed down.

’So what if she has a Defense Secret Technique? Her total Mental Power is still only at the First-Grade Middle Stage, a whole chunk less than mine!’

’I refuse to believe she can keep defending forever!’

’As long as I keep wearing her down, once her Mental Power is depleted, it’ll be her time to die!’

Thinking this, Qin Feng no longer hesitated. His eyes narrowed, and an even more majestic torrent of Mental Power surged out madly, transforming into wave after wave of attacks that bombarded Gu Yuexi relentlessly.

…

Gu Yuexi stood her ground, motionless, allowing the storm of Spiritual Attacks to crash against her Heart Guardian Wall, completely unable to stir the slightest ripple.

The Void Observation Technique was the world’s most supreme Spiritual Cultivation method—perhaps even without peer.

The accompanying Spiritual Defense method, the Heart Guardian Wall, was naturally also the best of the best.

Even when activated with only First-Grade Middle Stage Mental Power, it was enough to easily block the vast majority of Spiritual Attacks below the Third-Grade.

It was no exaggeration to say that Gu Yuexi felt absolutely nothing in the face of Qin Feng’s overwhelming barrage of Spiritual Attacks.

But her brows gradually furrowed, and a trace of impatience appeared on her face.

Although his attacks couldn’t hurt her, the sensation was like having a mosquito constantly buzzing in her ear. It wasn’t a threat, but it was annoying!

Moreover, she could sense that the source of his Mental Power was constantly moving.

He was clearly trying to use this method to wear her down while concealing his own precise location.

With her current First-Grade Middle Stage Mental Power, it was indeed a bit difficult to accurately trace and lock onto a constantly moving First-Grade Late Stage Spiritual Mind Master while also maintaining her defense.

’Damn it…’

Gu Yuexi finally couldn’t take it anymore and cursed under her breath, “This annoying mosquito!”

Chu Sheng: “???”
