Feng Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up as she listened to the chatter around her. "Alright, so you're a celebrity! That means you definitely can't bully a weak woman like me!"
"Pay up! Or else I'll sue!" she pouted, looking as if she were about to cry.
The girl's pitiable appearance tugged at the heartstrings of the surrounding men. They cursed Lin Yu to the heavens in their minds, but dared not say a word aloud, for Lin Yu's reputation was too formidable.
This was a person who dared to hit a teacher, and had Zhao Ke backing him up. Who would dare to cross him? Wasn't that just asking for trouble?
Thus, everyone glared in silence. Lin Yu chose to ignore them.
Lin Yu calmly turned and walked towards the nearby reading room, as if he hadn't heard Feng Xiaoyu's voice.
Feng Xiaoyu watched him, her lower lip trembling. She felt increasingly wronged. Although no tears fell, she looked utterly heartbroken.
"Hey, what's your problem?" Seeing Lin Yu actually leave, Feng Xiaoyu immediately scrambled to her feet and scurried after him on her short legs.
The onlookers, who had been about to follow to watch the fun, found the librarian arriving late. She yelled, "This is a library! No shouting! Everyone, disperse quickly!"
The crowd jolted upon hearing this and quickly abandoned their intention of following, dispersing one after another.
Lin Yu arrived at the library reading room and placed a stack of books on a table. He turned and asked, "Are you done following me? If you want to sue me, go ahead!"
However, Feng Xiaoyu’s pitiable demeanor vanished. She grinned, "Hehe, I see you're self-studying college material. Coincidentally, I’m quite knowledgeable about these subjects, so I can teach you!"
Lin Yu blinked in surprise and then chuckled, "Alright!"
"One thousand Star Coins per hour. What do you say?" Feng Xiaoyu blinked her large, innocent eyes and cautiously asked Lin Yu.
Lin Yu rolled his eyes and turned back to a book, beginning to read on his own.
Feng Xiaoyu wasn't bothered or discouraged. She quickly sat down beside him. Seeing the book Lin Yu was reading, she leaned her little head over and began to read along.
The book Lin Yu was reading was titled "The Relationship Between Talent and Energy."
After reading for a while, Lin Yu frowned in deep thought, encountering many questions. However, the book's explanations were perplexing and lacked coherence, making him irritable.
The book stated that energy originated from heaven and earth, and was a special form of energy produced by the fusion of heavenly and earthly energies with human energies.
This energy was born with the awakening of talent and was the source of all skills, much like the relationship between a car and gasoline.
Where did the energies of heaven and earth come from?
Where did the energies of the human body come from?
The book did not elaborate, causing Lin Yu to knit his brows.
Seeing this, Feng Xiaoyu's heart leaped. She immediately puffed out her chest and said, "You don't understand this, do you? This heavenly and earthly energy, it actually comes from here, and the human body's energy is like this!"
She deliberately spoke this way to attract Lin Yu's attention. However, Lin Yu couldn't figure it out and was about to switch to another book for cross-referencing.
Seeing that Lin Yu wasn't paying attention to her, Feng Xiaoyu got annoyed. "Hmph, I'll let you off the hook today! I won't charge you!"
"Listen carefully, this teacher will only explain it once!"
"This heavenly and earthly energy originates from the myriad realms. Three hundred years ago, the myriad realms connected to Blue Star, causing a great transformation on Blue Star. Various energies converged and intertwined, giving birth to this wondrous energy."
"This energy is extremely inclusive. It can be used to drive talent-based skills, as well as to power other arts from the myriad realms."
"However, this energy alone cannot awaken talent. It must also be combined with the soul energy of the human body!"
"After fusion, the two energies, under the catalysis of the spiritual platform, can allow humans to awaken their innate abilities. Neither can be absent!"
"This is the relationship between talent and energy!"
Lin Yu lowered the book after listening. If what she said was true, then he had understood the book's content.
Feng Xiaoyu blinked her large eyes, her expression like that of a child, as if signaling Lin Yu to praise her, to praise her quickly!
Lin Yu took out a stack of Star Coins and placed them on the table. "Thank you for clarifying my doubts. Here are a thousand Star Coins!"
Upon seeing the Star Coins, Feng Xiaoyu's eyes sparkled like stars. Like a hungry tiger pouncing, she instantly scooped up the coins with both hands.
She even blew on them gently after holding them, looking completely enamored.
What a little money-grubber!
After pocketing the Star Coins, Feng Xiaoyu said, "If there's anything else you don't understand, just ask me directly. These books are all abridged versions; the more you read, the more confused you'll become!"
Lin Yu flipped through a few more books and nodded in agreement. The content in these books was very general, often stating results without explaining the reasons or processes, making readers more confused and more agitated, wishing they could tear the books apart. They were utterly nonsensical.
Lin Yu sighed and put down the books in his hand. "Let me ask you, can the energy within the body be converted into other attributes?"
"Yes, of course! Let me tell you, the energy born from the combination of heaven, earth, and humanity – the heavenly and earthly energy has no consciousness. Your soul energy, however, carries your consciousness. You need to communicate with this part of your energy, using soul energy as a guide, to convert the energy within your body to other attributes!"
After speaking, Feng Xiaoyu continued, "This step is very difficult. As far as I know, this is a second-year university course. You'll learn a secret technique in university to help you sense that part of your soul energy within your body!"
So that's how it is!
Lin Yu suddenly understood. All the doubts in his heart melted away at this moment. A crack had appeared in the door in front of him, and he could vaguely glimpse the vast world beyond.
Lin Yu closed his eyes and began to communicate with the energy within his body.
With his newfound understanding of the essence of energy, he now had a bird's-eye view when sensing the energy within him.
Soul energy contains my will; I need to guide it to change all energy! Lin Yu thought to himself.
He recalled the moment he unleashed the Flame Jet, and how the energy within his body had instantly converted to fiery energy.
At this moment, he had an epiphany. He established a connection with the energy within him, and it felt as if he could see his own will.
This will was very weak, but it undeniably existed within the energy.
He had experience controlling clones, and he discovered that this will was just like the will of a clone.
Vague, hazy, lacking intelligence, only instinctual, yet he could control this will one hundred percent.
"Energy Conversion!" Lin Yu whispered.
*Boom!*
The energy began to change, gradually turning a fiery red.
Lin Yu opened his eyes and extended a finger. A flame shot out!
Feng Xiaoyu was contemplating how to trick Lin Yu into earning more Star Coins when she suddenly saw a flame appear before her.
She rubbed her eyes, disbelieving. "Impossible, I must be dreaming!"
