At the same time, deep inside, she began thinking about how to find her own Heart of Freedom.
Freedom—what was freedom?
The freedom of life? The freedom of the soul? Or... the freedom to do whatever one pleased?
Yun Xi's answer was simple. To her, all of these were indispensable forms of freedom.
Life and the soul were freedom; doing whatever one pleased was freedom too.
Freedom meant no Shackles, no control, and no restrictions.
Rather than the "Heart of Freedom," it would be more accurate to call it the "Soul of Freedom": unbound by Shackles, uncontrolled, and unrestricted.
And in a dimension invisible to Yun Xi's naked eyes, as she gradually comprehended the Heart of Freedom, circles of light began appearing throughout the Forest of Freedom. Drawn to Yun Xi, they slowly sank into her soul.
The specks of light gradually gathered into a resplendent galaxy. Spinning, they covered Yun Xi's entire soul, while strands of profound power merged into it and slowly vanished.
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Xi was suddenly jolted awake by the system notification beside her ear—
[Ding, congratulations, player. You have comprehended the special passive talent "Heart of Freedom." The talent interface has been unlocked.]
A special passive talent... Heart of Freedom?
Had she really succeeded?
Yun Xi opened the system panel to check.
[Passive Talent] [Heart of Freedom (144): Passively breaks free from any restraints imposed by those whose "Spirit Attribute" is lower than the player's, including any restraint-type spells and restraint-type items... Note: This does not include the restraints of a System Contract. Please take note!!!]
The 144 in parentheses referred to her Spirit Attribute.
In other words, with this talent, anyone whose Spirit Attribute was lower than 144 would be unable to impose any restraints
