Su Luo then looked at Di Yubing with an inquisitive gaze.

"Have you been feeling unwell lately?"

"For example, unexplained fatigue, mental confusion, or hearing strange noises?"

Su Luo looked very concerned.

The Spell proficiency is also quite high... This is a learning speed that no human could possibly achieve.

Possession? Parasitism? A system? Or some kind of unexpected awakening of Superpower?

"Abnormal? No, it's just that... after coming into contact with Mana, and reflecting on the theoretical texts you gave me, I suddenly found many difficult parts much clearer. My comprehension and thinking speed seem to have improved significantly."

Di Yubing was slightly taken aback by the question, a thoughtful expression flashing across her fair face.

"However... when I tried to construct those Spell models today, it felt unusually smooth, as if... they were always there, and I was just picking them up again."

Su Luo put her hands behind her back and began to slowly stroll around.

"How was your learning ability before?" he pressed.

"It's acceptable." Di Yubing's reply was humble yet confident. "I have pursued doctoral degrees in seven different fields. Those who participated in the Meditation with me were also leaders in their respective fields. In terms of basic learning ability, they should far surpass me."

"But you defied convention and stood out with an inhuman speed. In this process, besides clear thinking, were there any other special sensations? Don't overlook any subtle differences."

Di Yubing pondered deeply. After a moment, she looked up at the Void, as if sensing something, and whispered:

There's a sense of... friendliness about him.

Upon hearing this, Su Luo was momentarily stunned. Her first thought was whether the constant [Charm Spell] in front of her was too strong and had inadvertently affected her?

He immediately and discreetly cut off the Mana supply to the Constant Spell on the necklace around his neck.

However, Di Yubing's next words made him realize that he had misunderstood.

"I feel..." she frowned slightly, trying to describe the mysterious experience, "A kind of inexplicable... affinity and Resonance with this world, with the flowing energy. They don't seem... to reject me."

Su Luo remained silent, continuing to scrutinize her.

A moment later, he suddenly looked up, his gaze piercing straight at Di Yubing.

Di Yubing was still wondering when his eyes met Su Luo's. He suddenly froze, as if he had fallen into an ice cave!

Killing intent!

A chilling, bone-deep killing intent, as if it were tangible!

Su Luo's face was ashen, her eyes calm, yet an invisible, terrifying mental pressure mixed with pure Mana surged forth, precisely enveloping Di Yubing.

This is a special mental intimidation Spell that consumes Mana.

Di Yubing felt her body stiffen instantly, her mind go blank, and even her breathing almost stopped.

What happened? Did she violate the otherworldly mage's taboo?

What should we do now? Will she die?

However, this terrifying pressure came and went quickly. Su Luo's fierce aura vanished instantly.

Su Luo was in even more pain than Di Yubing, who was stunned.

Just now, he decided to conduct a high-risk test to verify his suspicions.

Without hesitation, he cast a Spell on Di Yubing that had no physical destructive power but was extremely effective in mental Intimidation, "making a scene" for something.

The instant the Spell took effect, he clearly sensed malice.

It swept in from all directions, infiltrating everything, as if the whole world felt a primal hatred and rejection towards him. It wasn't an attack on the body, but a deeper, Rule Layer Negation.

The malice of the world.

Even now, one can still sense the lingering malice in the Void, hovering around Su Luo.

This is troublesome.

Su Luo had a headache.

Has Di Yubing become the Daughter of Heavenly Dao?

The mere display of a hint of malicious Spell interference towards her has provoked a rejection from the entire world?

So domineering, will everyone who opposes her be hated by the world?

So, is she unstoppable in this world?

Or is it because Su Luo is a visitor from another world?

"Heavenly Mandate... the Heavenly Dao... favorable." Su Luo murmured, looking at Di Yubing.

Di Yubing remained frozen in place, her face pale; the chilling mental shock she had just experienced had almost frozen her mind.

But she suppressed her instinctive fear and just stared intently at Su Luo, waiting for his next move.

She was extremely intelligent and knew that in front of this unfathomable sorcerer, any hasty reaction could lead to even worse consequences.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a small test," Su Luo casually reassured her.

He must now thoroughly reassess the value and danger of Di Yubing.

Originally, he only regarded her as a possible Protagonist in Dongli Cang's "Heavenly Mandate one" script, and he was too lazy to cause trouble and did not want to get too involved in the cause and effect.

However, it was later speculated that Dongli Cang simply possessed a system, and the plot involving the people and things related to him was all controlled by human intervention, rather than by some kind of uncontrollable force—such as the Heavenly Dao, Fortune, or other mysterious things. In Su Luo's eyes, Di Yubing was nothing more than the identity of the highest person in charge of Hudu.

After she displayed an exaggerated Talent for Mana Spells, Su Luo used her as a test subject and instantly cast a Spell on her without hesitation.

But now...

Damn it, it seems like this world has some kind of dirty thing called the Heavenly Dao, or the World Will.

Su Luo paused, sensing the lingering malice in the air, and after organizing her thoughts, decided to be honest. "Just now, the instant I felt murderous intent towards you, I sensed... a rejection and malice from the very nature of this world."

"The world's... malice?"

"You have Resonance deeply with the energy of this world; the world... or rather, some underlying will of this world—perhaps it should be called the Heavenly Dao? It is protecting you."

Di Yubing remained silent, her eyes flickering.

"Daughter of Heavenly Dao... ordained by Heavenly Mandate... Your existence seems to have been granted a certain 'legitimacy,' receiving the favor and blessing of the world itself. This may be the fundamental reason for your unbelievable speed in learning Spell —the world is helping you."

Why did you choose me?

Su Luo shrugged.

"I don't know, I've never encountered that before."

"However, there is some speculation involved."

"Can you tell me?" Di Yubing's aura gradually Convergence, and the slight joy she had felt from quickly Spell the spell vanished without a trace.

Did Great Yong tell you about Dongli Cang?

"I know everything."

"The Superpower system and Mutated Beasts are foreign, invading 'viruses,' and Dongli Cang is very likely the mastermind behind it all. Your appearance may represent the world's instinctive resistance, and the Mana system has just become the antibody chosen by you, or rather, by the World Will."

After she finished speaking, Su Luo felt the malice surrounding her lessen.

If Su Luo had a favorability system, a notification box might pop up.

[Guide the Daughter of Heavenly Mandate to understand her mission, world favorability +1]
