Chapter 180: Chapter 180

After hearing Loren's reminder, the little girl closed her mouth, took a deep breath, and once again grasped Loren's large hand with her own left hand.

A dazzling green light surged forth.

Different from the previous few times she had treated Loren, the light that surged from Ayla Morningstar's hand was no longer a gentle white light, but a somewhat piercing green radiance.

The green light instantly spread across Loren's entire body.

Ayla Morningstar's face instantly paled. Then, she extended her small right hand and placed it on the pile of Spirit Stones filling the living room.

In the blink of an eye.

Every Spirit Stone in the entire room was entwined with a dazzling green light.

The blue ocean transformed into a green sea in an instant.

The living room was once again filled with that clear, fresh scent of a forest after rain.

Loren watched this astonishing scene with a strange expression.

Interesting, so it wasn't for treatment fees? It was to compensate for the consumption of using the ability?

As Ayla Morningstar activated her ability, accompanied by the flashing green light in the living room, Loren sensed changes occurring within his body.

Not only did the faint, throbbing pain in his head disappear, but Loren also felt his physical body becoming stronger.

Of course, the pile of Spirit Stones in the living room was also decreasing in a regular pattern.

With both hands extended, Ayla Morningstar was like an energy converter, transforming all the energy contained within the Spirit Stones into nourishment for Loren.

Time flowed quietly away, accompanied by the flickering of the green light.

Ayla Morningstar opened her eyes, withdrew her hands, and the green light blooming on both hands also vanished.

After retracting her ability, Ayla Morningstar let out a sigh of relief. Looking at Loren, whose expression seemed a bit off, she playfully stuck out her tongue.

"Big brother, all done. Your body can support your psychic power now."

Loren turned his head to look at the now-empty living room. An indescribable look of heartache appeared on his face.

2.63 million Spirit Stones... they were all used to strengthen my body...

Loren turned his head and looked at the little girl with an expression begging for praise, sighing silently in his heart.

Actually, I didn't really need such a strong body... I could have endured that bit of pain...

In the end, Loren still didn't voice his true thoughts. Instead, he forced a smile.

"That's a really great ability. You did an excellent job, little one."

After all, she didn't charge me for the treatment... I should praise her...

Hearing Loren's praise, Ayla Morningstar smiled even more happily, her face full of expectation as she said,

"Big brother, aren't you going to test your body now? It's super strong~"

Hearing this, Loren felt a phantom pain in his heart. He involuntarily covered his chest with his hand, feeling the powerful beating of his heart inside, wanting to cry but having no tears.

Of course I know it's strong. After all, I watched those 2.63 million Spirit Stones disappear one by one with my own eyes...

Farewell, Wealthy Loren... I'll be back.

He stood up silently, shook his head vigorously, and cast aside the heart-wrenching thoughts in his mind.

With a flip of his hand, Loren grasped the familiar Black and Gold Revolver, silently adjusted the Energy Bullet's power to maximum, aimed the muzzle at his own left forearm, and fired.

Of course, strength testing requires the most violent method.

The Energy Bullet struck Loren's arm. As the explosion occurred, the Black Wings behind Loren instantly appeared, enveloping his body and the energy produced by the explosion.

It concentrated all the explosive force within the Black Wings.

After a while, the Black Wings behind Loren spread open again, then vanished, revealing Loren completely unharmed.

He looked down at his left arm. Not a scratch.

Recalling the sensation of being hit by the Energy Bullet just now, it felt like a mosquito had landed on his left arm.

"Master! With this level of physical strength, if you went out and said you were a ninth-rank Martial Artist, people would believe you! That little girl's ability is truly outrageous!!"

The Raven's astonished voice rang out in Loren's mind.

Loren looked at his left arm, silently sensing the power of his body, momentarily at a loss for words.

That feeling of power continuously surging from his heart was different from the feeling of having powerful psychic power in the past.

It felt more pure, more real.

A strange premonition arose in Loren's heart. He felt like he could punch through many Mecha with his fists now...

Fortune, is this the change you were expecting as well?

I'm just an ordinary Psychic... how did I end up ...

Loren imagined a scene: himself bare-chested, fearlessly charging through a blaze of explosions, leaping powerfully into the air, and throwing a punch at a Mecha...

He shook his head vigorously again, trying to clear this somewhat bizarre mental image from his mind.

No, don't think about it, forget it!! I would absolutely never fight like that!!

Fortunately, Ayla Morningstar's voice appeared at the opportune moment, interrupting Loren's strange associations.

"Big brother, why do you seem... not very happy?" The little girl's face showed some confusion.

The corner of Loren's mouth twitched. Silently, he extended his left hand and clenched his fist forcefully. That feeling of substantial power once again coursed through his entire body.

"No, not at all. I'm very happy," Loren said with an expressionless face.

Spirit Stones can be earned again, but this kind of opportunity for physical enhancement is something others beg for but can't get... Loren silently comforted himself in his heart.

After comforting himself, Loren turned to look at Ayla Morningstar beside him, who still wore an expression begging for praise, and sighed.

This favor... seems to be getting bigger and bigger. Can this still be considered a cooperative relationship...

"Little one, not many people should know about this ability of yours, right?"

An indescribable seriousness appeared on Loren's face.

"Don't worry, big brother, I'm not stupid."

"Even my dad doesn't know about this ability. He only thinks I'm an ordinary, unremarkable healing-type ability user."

Ayla Morningstar said this with a proud look, her little expression quite haughty.

Hearing this, Loren silently breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Good, otherwise, I'd have to help you kill them...

Loren placed his hand on the other's head and instinctively ruffled her hair. The feel was really good...

"Remember, from now on, the best outcome for anyone who learns about your ability is that they never get another chance to speak." Loren instinctively began imparting his experience.

"For a rule-system Psychic, protecting your own information is the top priority."

The living room fell quiet for a moment.

"Big brother, what about you?" Ayla Morningstar's voice rang out, her tone somewhat mischievous.

The little girl let out a light cry, covering her head. Her small eyes were teary, looking at Loren with a pitiful expression.

Loren calmly retracted his bent finger. Just now, he hadn't been able to resist giving the little girl a knock on the head.

"I said, from now on," Loren said, looking down at his own palm, somewhat lost in thought.

He recalled the sensation of knocking the little girl's head just now. Speaking of which, did I use a bit too much force just now?

Why does it feel like the little girl's physical strength isn't quite right either...

Is this the trump card that gave you the courage to come to the Radiant Flow Star Domain alone to find your father?

It really is an excellent ability, little one...
