Of course, he didn't take it out immediately.
Otherwise, if others saw him conjure a fruit out of thin air, naive people like Wang Jiangang might think he was performing magic, but Lan Shengxue and the others probably wouldn't think that way; they would definitely think there was something wrong with him.
Jiang Fan opened his eyes and stood up from the ground.
"I've finished adjusting my breathing."
"Then let's go," Lan Shengxue said.
"Hmm." Jiang Fan nodded and then followed behind the others.
Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, he quietly took out the Psychic Fruit and quickly ate it.
Fortunately, the fruit isn't very big, only slightly larger than a cherry tomato, so you can eat it in one bite.
If it were really the size of the peaches stolen by monkeys, it would be quite a hassle to eat.
After consuming the Psychic Fruit, his mental strength instantly doubled, jumping from 6312P to 12624P.
Haha! I've broken the 10,000P mark and become a true Intermediate Psychic!
At only 17 years old, with more than a month until the martial arts exam, he has already become Intermediate Psychic. If this were to get out, it would surely cause a sensation all over the world!
Jiang Fan was incredibly excited. He, who was usually very composed, could hardly contain himself at this moment, and his brows revealed a joy that he could hardly hide.
After all, he was a young man, and even after living two lives, he was still a young man.
The fact that he can refrain from laughing out loud right now already puts him ahead of his peers, and even those older than him might not be able to do it.
He is now Intermediate Psychic, and in theory, he should be able to use external objects to propel himself through the air, which is known as aerial flight.
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan couldn't help but feel eager to try it out.
Everyone has a dream of flying, and Jiang Fan is no exception.
Of course, now is not the time; we'll try it slowly when we get back.
However, he has only just become Intermediate Psychic, so even if he can fly, he probably can't stay in the air for too long.
Just as Jiang Fan was excitedly thinking, his thoughts were interrupted by a sudden commotion from ahead.
"Help! Help!"
Jiang Fan looked up and soon saw a group of people being chased by a giant spider.
At first, when he was still quite far away, he could only vaguely see the outline of the spider. But as he got closer, Jiang Fan was shocked to discover that this spider, which was five stories tall, actually had a woman's face.
This woman had delicate features, red lips, and white teeth. Her large, almond-shaped eyes were filled with innocence and purity, making her instantly endearing.
If that face weren't on this terrifying giant spider, but rather on an ordinary girl, she would have a whole street of suitors.
The pursued team, upon seeing Lan Shengxue and the others, seemed to have grasped at a straw and desperately cried for help.
"Help us! Please help us!"
Yang Xiaoqiang looked at Lan Shengxue, "Should we save her?"
Lan Shengxue is their employer, and their studio's primary task is to protect their employer's safety and ensure the successful completion of their tasks.
Therefore, Lan Shengxue's consent is required for this matter.
Lan Shengxue nodded.
"Everyone, follow me!"
Yang Xiaoqiang drew his long sword and charged towards the Beautiful-Faced Spider.
"Everyone be careful. Although this is only One Star monster, it is enormous and can spit out a lot of spider silk to entangle its target."
"Okay, boss! I'll go first, you guys cover me!"
Zhou Xiaoyan was fast and rushed forward first, ready to slash with his weapon.
Suddenly, the Beautiful-Faced Spider opened its mouth, revealing a completely black interior without a tongue or teeth, making it look sinister and terrifying.
"Waaaaah--"
A series of shrill, wailing sounds rang out, one after another, as if the sounds were not just in the ears, but vibrating directly in the brain.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Xiaoyan's attack was broken, and he collapsed like a deflated balloon.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that Zhou Xiaoyan, now limp, has glazed eyes, a flushed face, and drool trickling from the corner of his mouth. He is gazing at the Beautiful-Faced Spider before him with an infatuated expression.
"Hehehe... Beautiful lady... You're so pretty..."
Zhou Xiaoyan muttered to herself as she walked mechanically and stiffly toward the Beautiful-Faced Spider.
Everyone was shocked to see this.
"Oh no! This Beautiful-Faced Spider has the ability to launch mental attacks!" Xu Dai shouted.
Yang Xiaoqiang was extremely anxious. Seeing Zhou Xiaoyan about to walk up to the beauty's face, he couldn't care less and was about to rush forward, but Miao Xi stopped him.
"You can't just rush over there recklessly. The sonic waves that the Beautiful-Faced Spider just released are mentally aggressive. If you just go over there like that, you might suffer a mental attack like Zhou Xiaoyan."
"I know that, but I can't just stand by and watch Xiaoyan get into trouble!"
Miao Xi gritted her teeth, her clear, cold eyes revealing determination, "I'll go, boss, you cover me."
"How can that be? You're just Early-Stage First Rank Martial Artist, not even as strong as Zhou Xiaoyan. Wouldn't you be offering yourself up as a free kill?" Yang Xiaoqiang refused outright.
Lan Shengxue looked at Xu Dai, "You go."
Xu Dai is Early-Stage Second Rank -stage Martial Artist. He was specially arranged by her maternal grandfather to be by her side. Although his strength is not high, he is already among the strongest in the vast Ancheng.
However, before Xu Dai could rush out, Lan Shengxue heard a "whoosh" sound, followed by an arrow with a sharp gleam whizzing past her.
The speed was so fast that no one could react at all.
Like a shooting star, the arrow flew to the Beautiful-Faced Spider's mouth in the blink of an eye, piercing straight into its wide-open maw.
"When!"
The Beautiful-Faced Spider raised a long leg and blocked its mouth.
The arrowhead shattered instantly, breaking into fragments that fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan frowned, staring at the hairy legs, thinking to himself, "This is way too hard!"
Lan Shengxue kept scrutinizing Jiang Fan. He was the one who shot that arrow just now. It was indeed fast, accurate, and steady. No wonder Yang Xiaoqiang Studio made an exception and hired him even though his strength was not quite at the Martial Artist. He really has some skills.
Because Jiang Fan's arrow interrupted the Beautiful-Faced Spider's whimpering attack, Zhou Xiaoyan recovered her senses and the next second she saw that beautiful face so close to her.
Normally, being able to get up close to such a stunning face would have made him scream with excitement.
But now, he screamed and turned to run away.
"My God! This beast can use mental attacks! I was so careless!"
The Beautiful-Faced Spider gave Zhou Xiaoyan no chance to escape. Its eight legs kept kicking the ground, moving as fast as a train, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Tang--Tang-- Tang Fan, help! Shoot it! Shoot it now!"
Without Zhou Xiaoyan needing to remind him, Jiang Fan drew his bow and shot two arrows at the eyes of the Beautiful-Faced Spider.
Upon seeing this, Li Zhe exclaimed.
"Wow! Two arrows with one bow? This kid's a master archer!"
Not to mention Li Zhe Xu Dai, even Lan Shengxue, who came from Fortress No. 1 and was used to seeing the world, couldn't help but be shocked.
