Chapter 194 Power Awakening
Chapter 194 Power Awakening
Jiang Songchu's breath hitched slightly, her fingers unconsciously tightening around the corner of the blanket, her voice tinged with wariness.
"Not yet, is there something you need?"
There was a moment of silence outside the door, then Qin Tianyi's voice rang out again, tinged with gentleness.
"It's nothing, I just noticed your light was still on and wanted to ask if you needed anything."
Jiang Songchu's brows furrowed slightly, his tone flat and even.
"No need, I'll go to sleep right away."
Qin Tianyi's voice came from outside the door again, with a hint of a smile.
"Okay, good night then."
As the footsteps faded into the distance, Jiang Songchu's body slowly relaxed.
She leaned against the headboard, her gaze still fixed on the door, but her heart was far from at peace.
"What on earth is this guy up to?"
She murmured softly, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
The old house was unusually quiet on the rainy night.
Just as Jiang Songchu was about to go to sleep, she suddenly thought of something, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She quickly closed her eyes and entered the virtual space in her mind.
All of them were standing in front of her, still looking as cute as ever, but with a hint of fatigue on their faces.
"Tongtong, are you alright?"
Jiang Songchu asked anxiously.
The system smiled and shook its head: "I'm fine! Chu Chu, I've investigated and found out about the 'Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic,' the main system said..."
Jiang Songchu's heart leaped into her throat. She looked nervously at Tongtong, waiting for the next answer.
Tongtong's smile gradually faded, and his expression became serious.
She skipped and hopped to Jiang Songchu, and with a wave of her small hand, a light blue light screen unfolded between the two of them, on which a series of complex runes and images appeared.
"Initially, the main system told me that the 'Huangdi Neijing' is an ancient energy system. It is not a dangerous thing, but an extremely precious power."
Tongtong's voice carried a hint of excitement, yet also a touch of seriousness.
"This power originates from ancient times. Legend has it that it is a cultivation method left by the Yellow Emperor, which can enhance physical fitness, improve potential, and even prolong life."
Jiang Songchu was stunned when she heard this, her eyes widening slightly, her tone filled with disbelief.
"Strengthen physical fitness? Enhance potential? This...this sounds like something out of a martial arts novel."
The system nodded, and her braids swayed gently with her movements.
"That's right! But this isn't a fictional plot from a novel; it's a real force."
"The main system says that this power has been dormant for a long time, and it was unexpected that it would awaken within you."
"Chu Chu, you might be the chosen one!"
Jiang Songchu's heart beat a little faster. She looked down at her hands and could feel the faint energy flowing within her body.
She looked up, somewhat uncertainly, and asked, "Then... how will this power affect me? Will there be any side effects?"
The little girl shook her head, her tone firm: "No way!"
"The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic is a gentle force that will gradually improve your constitution, making you healthier and stronger."
"However, the main system also reminds you that you need to guide and control this power yourself."
"If you make good use of it, it will bring you many benefits."
A glimmer of expectation flashed in Jiang Songchu's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by worry: "But... how should I guide it? I don't know anything about these things."
Tongtong patted her shoulder with a grin: "Don't worry! I'll help you!"
"The main system gave me a detailed guide, and we can study it together."
"Moreover, this power will gradually emerge as you grow, so there is no need to rush it."
Jiang Songchu relaxed a little, nodded, and a smile finally appeared on her tense lips.
"Thank you, Tongtong. I feel much more at ease with you by my side."
They all happily twirled around, the starlight on their skirts casting a dazzling glow.
"Of course! I'm your personal system!"
"By the way, Chu Chu, would you like to try out this power?"
"Although it's not very obvious yet, you should be able to feel some changes."
Jiang Songchu closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to feel the flow of energy within her body.
At first, she only felt a faint warm current in her body, like a spring stream flowing slowly.
Gradually, the warm current became clearer and clearer, as if it were flowing through her limbs and bones, bringing an unprecedented sense of comfort.
She opened her eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "I can feel it! It's like my whole body is full of energy, and even breathing has become much easier."
Tongtong proudly raised her chin: "See! I told you this power was amazing!"
"However, Chu Chu, you must remember that although this power is strong, you cannot rely on it too much."
"You need to improve yourself through your own efforts to truly master it."
Jiang Songchu nodded solemnly: "I understand. I will make good use of this power and will not let it control me."
All of them smiled with satisfaction, then waved their hands, and the runes and images on the light screen gradually disappeared.
She leaned closer to Jiang Songchu and whispered, "Chuchu, I'll be with you for the next few days to familiarize yourself with this power."
"However, you should also take care to rest and not overwork yourself."
Jiang Songchu nodded, her heart filled with anticipation and gratitude.
She whispered, "Tongtong, thank you. Having you by my side..."
Tongtong patted her shoulder with a grin: "Of course! We're the best partners!"
A moment later, Jiang Songchu suddenly thought of something, her brows furrowing slightly, her tone filled with curiosity and anticipation: "Tongtong, did you gain anything else from this trip to see the main system?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the system looked miserable, its round eyes filled with grievance, and its voice lowered.
"I also asked why the math competition task was triggered in the first place."
Jiang Songchu was taken aback, her hand paused for a moment, and her eyes were somewhat blank.
She blinked, then looked on with a look of realization: "Oh, that... I almost forgot about it."
She sighed softly, her tone tinged with a mixture of helplessness and amusement.
"What, did the main system actually give an explanation?"
The system nodded, its little face scrunching up even more, as if it had suffered a great injustice.
"The main system said that Tianrong in this plane is too weak. He has never won a place in the math competition. The top three in the world are always occupied by the United States, the United Kingdom, and the United States."
As it spoke, it gestured with its little paws, as if describing the arrogance of those countries.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Songchu raised an eyebrow slightly, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily...
