After all, even if they entered the game, they wouldn't encounter her.

Not to mention the vastness of the Godfall Continent's map, which made the possibility of meeting almost zero. Even if they did meet, she would have already gone to Qinglan Town during the next internal test, and there would be no trace left in the village.

Afterward, Yun Xi meticulously recounted her experiences in the game, emphasizing the formidable combat power of the Rat Fiends.

"So, Xi Xi, you've become a Sorcerer? Have you used sorcery in reality?"

Yun Hai and Liu Yue'e could barely contain their excitement.

If their daughter had already learned sorcery, did that mean their Yun Family was ahead of other aristocratic families?

In an instant, Yun Xi's importance in their hearts skyrocketed.

"Sister Xi Xi, may I be so bold as to ask if you could teach us how to learn sorcery? Perhaps we could learn it on Blue Star too."

Yun Li was somewhat excited, but it was Yun Mei who shot him a cold glance that made him restrain himself.

However, it was clear that Yun Li had voiced the question on everyone's mind, and they all looked at Yun Xi with anticipation.

"That's actually not possible. Because when we apprenticed with the natives of Godfall Continent, they required us to sign relevant contracts. One of the clauses stipulated that we could not spread the sorcery patterns externally."

"Moreover, even if there were ready-made sorcery patterns now, Blue Star lacks Spiritual Energy fluctuations. It would be almost impossible to successfully learn sorcery. If it were martial arts, one could barely try."

Yun Xi's reminder was very clear: the natives of Godfall Continent had an almost obsessive level of control over sorcery knowledge, but they didn't have as many requirements for martial arts.

One reason was that the martial arts in the beginner village were mostly very ordinary, making management unnecessary. Another was that martial arts could be self-created.

As far as she knew, some martial arts on Blue Star would also be recognized by the system.

Especially for professions like soldiers, mercenaries, and boxers who had trained since childhood, their initial physiques were good, and some even possessed their own martial arts. However, these would only be confirmed after logging into Godfall Continent and activating the system.

In other words, ordinary people on Blue Star now should start exercising their bodies as soon as possible and choose a suitable martial arts cultivation technique to practice diligently.

By the time the game opened again, perhaps they could synchronize and complete it the moment the main quest was activated, just like Yun Xi.

Hearing Yun Xi's answer, everyone pondered.

The topic of Godfall Continent was drawing to a close, and just then, their aunt came to remind them that the food was ready.

At the dinner table, the whole family was lost in thought, each wondering about something.

Yun Xi, however, ate heartily.

After the gathering, Yun Xi bid farewell to her adoptive grandfather and parents. The three of them knew that Yun Xi was busy with matters related to Godfall Continent and did not keep her for long.

"Xi Xi, after you go back, you must practice sorcery diligently. When your father and I log into the game, we might need your help," Liu Yue'e said, holding Yun Xi's hand reluctantly.

Yun Xi...

She didn't know if she should tell them that the possibility of them meeting was almost zero. Forget it, she wouldn't say anything for now. After all, those who needed to know would eventually know.

Besides, even if they met, Yun Xi wouldn't provide them with any practical help. They didn't have any emotional connection, so wasn't that a given?

As for the material conditions they had provided before...

Yun Xi felt that her sincere reminder for them to register accounts and her emphasis on the importance of Godfall Continent were enough repayment.

She wouldn't forget the fact that these biological parents didn't love her at all. Yun Xi couldn't possibly do more for them.

What was fake was fake, and the superficial tenderness couldn't last.

"Okay, Mom. You and Dad should exercise more to improve your physical attributes. Don't be too busy with work anymore." To avoid being disturbed, Yun Xi also put on a good show.

At the same time, this was her final reminder.

She had said what she needed to say. The rest was up to them and fate.

The Yun Family's driver was responsible for taking Yun Xi back. As the car door was about to close, Yun Linlin got in from the other side.

"Why are you getting in? Uncle Wu is supposed to take you, isn't he?" Yun Xi asked her.

"Yun Xi, don't be so cold. I'm sorry, I was wrong before, okay?" Yun Linlin looked at her with puppy-dog eyes.

Yun Xi...

"Oh? How were you wrong before?"

"Well, I said some bad things about you in front of Mom and Dad... At that time, I was just a little worried that Mom and Dad would abandon me..." Yun Linlin's voice grew softer, and she tugged at Yun Xi's clothes with both hands.

Yun Xi felt a chill. "Yun Linlin, why are you acting like this all of a sudden?"

"I'm sorry, I really know I was wrong! I will never do that again!"

"As compensation, I can sign a contract with you after registering for the game! In the future, as long as it's within my capabilities, I can unconditionally agree to three things for you! How about that?"

Yun Xi was somewhat surprised by this.

This condition was indeed not low.

Given that Yun Linlin didn't know her own talent, offering 'three things in the future' as an apology was very sincere.

After all, if Yun Linlin were to obtain a divine artifact in the future, Yun Xi could ask for it unconditionally.

With Yun Linlin's intelligence, she wouldn't fail to consider this.

Although there was a suspicion of latching onto Yun Xi, the 'official sorcerer,' and considering many benefit relationships, Yun Linlin's approach was very tactful and not annoying.

Furthermore, Yun Linlin had never done anything that truly harmed her before. After some thought, Yun Xi agreed.

Yun Linlin's proposal was entirely beneficial to her, and Yun Xi didn't need to pay anything extra.

Seeing Yun Xi nod, Yun Linlin finally relaxed.

Returning home, Yun Xi continued to study the 'Light Control Technique'.

After her Spiritual Energy was depleted, she replenished it with white crystals, and time trickled by.

Finally, the day before the next internal test began, Yun Xi learned the 'Light Control Technique'.

[Basic Light Guard LV1: Consumes 10-100 Spiritual Energy to condense a halo, granting 48-138 (Spirit * Skill Level + Consumed Spiritual Energy) defense to oneself. Can be permanently and infinitely stacked. Casting cooldown is 2h.]

The meaning of permanent and infinite stacking was that as long as the Light Control Technique she cast was not consumed by an attack, it could exist permanently and be stacked infinitely.

Even Yun Xi, usually calm, couldn't help but feel a hint of joy.

The only surprise was the two-hour cooldown.

Her previously learned Water Arrow Technique and Water Ball Technique had no cooldown.

Yun Xi decided that as soon as the cooldown period arrived each day, she would cast the Light Control Technique with the highest defense on herself.

Excluding sleep time, she had about 16 hours left, allowing her to cast the Light Control Technique 8 times. This would grant her 138 * 8 = 1104 points of shield daily.

If her Spiritual Energy was insufficient, she would replenish it with white crystals; this was nothing to her.

Survival was the most important thing.

After all, her total HP after adding points was only 150.

1104 points of shield daily was equivalent to having seven extra lives.

If accumulated over a long period, it would be an even more terrifying number.

Yun Xi, content, cast the Light Control Technique on herself.

Instantly, a faint circular halo appeared above her head, barely noticeable if one wasn't looking closely.
