"The power is decent, but the control is too poor."
Li Yifei's voice broke the silence, carrying a hint of obvious disdain.
"Thirty-seven percent of the energy leaked out and was wasted in the air. Your mental force is not yet enough to master these eyes."
He shook his head, seemingly very dissatisfied with the result.
This nonchalant sentence, however, struck everyone like a bolt from the blue.
Such a terrifying attack was merely "too poor control" in his words?
Dugu Yan was even more ashamed, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
The rebirth she was so proud of turned out to be just a defective product in Brother Yi Fei's eyes.
She took a deep breath, organizing her chaotic thoughts.
Then, she made a move that caused the Chat Group to explode again.
She walked in front of Li Yifei, and three steps away from him, her knees softened, and she knelt down with utmost solemnity.
"Thank you, Brother Yi Fei, for the grace of my rebirth!"
She looked up, her eyes intertwined with ice and fire, filled with undisguised admiration and attachment.
"From now on, Dugu Yan's life belongs to you."
At that moment, a green afterimage descended from the sky, landing heavily on the edge of the valley.
Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter kneeling before that man, wearing an ill-fitting robe yet emitting an Aura that made even him feel trepidation; he was completely petrified on the spot.
Li Yifei didn't show any emotion regarding this sudden kowtow.
He just calmly looked at the data stream on his watch, confirming that Dugu Yan's indicators had completely stabilized before shifting his gaze from the virtual screen to the frozen figure at the edge of the valley.
"Your granddaughter is safe now."
His words were meant for Dugu Bo, but they made the kneeling Dugu Yan's delicate body tremble.
Dugu Bo jolted awake from his petrified state; he stepped forward quickly but stopped abruptly ten meters away from Li Yifei, bowing in awe.
"Thank you, Your Excellency! Thank you, Your Excellency, for remaking Yan Yan!"
His voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement and trembling, tears streaming down his old face.
Li Yifei ignored his gratitude and gave Dugu Yan a new command.
"Stand up."
Simple words with irresistible authority.
Dugu Yan didn't dare hesitate; she quickly braced herself against the ground to stand up. Beneath the oversized black robe, her bare feet stepped on the cold jade, causing her a bit more unease.
"Experiment over, time to go back," Li Yifei said, his tone as if announcing an insignificant matter.
He glanced at the sky. After the recent reinforcement and observation, his spirit power had been consumed significantly, but it was recovering quickly.
"Today's itinerary ends here."
"Follow me."
With that, he took a step forward.
This step did not land on solid ground. The space in front of him rippled, and he merged directly into those ripples, vanishing from sight.
Next instant, he appeared on the mountain path a hundred meters away.
Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment before reacting, quickly circulating her spirit power to follow.
Her body felt incredibly light now; with just a single thought, she drifted forward.
The livestream room exploded again because of this sudden scene.
[Worlds Number One Princess: Teleportation! Teleportation! I want that ability so much too! That way I could stand in an invincible position!]
[Is Jade Not Jade: This is way cooler than Little Goose's eyes~ Coming and going without a trace, he can go to whichever sister's boudoir he wants to~]
[Little Fox Demon: This is no longer in the category of a Spirit Ability... this is directly applying Spatial Law.]
Hu Liena's words made Bibi Dong's heart in the Spirit Hall twitch violently.
Law! Again, Law! Every move this man made was demonstrating a Domain that she could not reach in her entire life.
"spirit power is mostly recovered, just in time to test a new ability."
Li Yifei muttered to himself, seemingly completely unconcerned with the two people behind him.
He walked to a half-man-high piece of granite and stopped.
Dugu Yan quickly caught up, stopping behind him out of breath, not daring to speak.
The livestream lens also focused on the man along with her gaze.
Li Yifei slowly raised his right hand, formed his fingers into a sword, and slashed casually at the granite.
Crack!
With no spirit power fluctuation and no shocking Aura, that hard granite split silently from the middle, the cut as smooth as a mirror.
Then, he opened his five fingers and gripped the Void Realm.
Boom!
The entire piece of granite instantly exploded, shattering into stone dust and fragments that scattered in all directions.
Dugu Bo's eyelids twitched; this precise control over power was simply appalling.
The Chat Group was full of question marks.
[Bunny is So Cute: What is Brother Yi Fei doing?]
[A Little Wild Goose: I... I don't know either.]
But Li Yifei's next move caused his and Dugu Yan's thoughts to come to a complete standstill.
Li Yifei extended his left hand, and at his wrist, the phantom of that exquisite Hourglass Wheel appeared again.
[Momentary Eternity].
He made no extra movements, simply snapping his fingers at the pile of rubble.
Click.
The crisp mechanical clicking sound echoed once more in everyone's Soul.
In the next second, a cognition-defying scene occurred.
The stones scattered on the ground seemed to have the rewind button pressed; they violated all Laws of physics, flying backward and rapidly splicing and interlocking in the air.
The exploded cracks closed, and the scattered stone dust returned to its place.
In just one second.
The granite that had been smashed to pieces stood whole and undamaged in its original spot.
Li Yifei's heart remained calm as he coolly analyzed the data feedback on his watch.
"Rewinding inanimate objects consumes about zero point one percent spirit power. The cost is low, meeting expectations."
He made his plans and then turned his gaze to a common Blue Silver Grass by the roadside.
He walked over, bent down, reached out, and with a fluid motion, snapped the Blue Silver Grass in half.
The fragile leaf was split into two pieces, and green sap seeped from the break.
The girls in the livestream room subconsciously held their breath.
What was he going to do?
Li Yifei raised his right hand again.
On the phantom of [Momentary Eternity], the hourglass flowing with Time Stardust paused slightly.
Time Reversal!
The two broken pieces of Blue Silver Grass were pulled together by an invisible force, slowly approaching each other.
At the break, a faint green light lit up. It was not a simple joining, but a restoration originating from the Life-level.
The fibrous tissue of the leaf reconnected at a microscopic level, and the cellular structure regained its activity.
In the blink of an eye, the Blue Silver Grass returned to its original state, even the dewdrops on the leaves returning to their original positions.
Li Yifei, however, frowned slightly.
"spirit power consumption, three percent."
He quickly calculated in his mind.
