Yu Xian tinkered until school ended, but he still couldn't come up with a particularly good solution.
The main reason was that Blood Shield Art was a bit complex; unlike Mirage Doppelganger Technique, which could be disassembled at will, it was the type that wouldn't function if even one screw was missing.
Moreover, besides being able to adjust its size, the shield's shape couldn't be changed at all.
Yu Xian walked home with Nora, his mind constantly thinking about how to increase the defense of the Space Bubble, as he was considering giving up on Blood Shield Art.
"You seem very tired today. Did you encounter some difficulty?" Nora asked when she saw Yu Xian not paying attention to his surroundings while walking.
Yu Xian sighed, "There's a spell I want to modify but can't. It's indeed a bit difficult."
"I don't understand spells, but when you encounter difficulties, sometimes it's okay to put them aside for a while. Perhaps things will naturally work out when you get to the bridge?" Nora said with a smile, comforting him.
Yu Xian couldn't help but laugh, "You're right. Then I won't think about it for now. Oh, have you achieved initial mastery of your internal cultivation?"
"Haven't you noticed that I've been secretly practicing every day now?" Nora revealed a mischievous smile, her expression like a large white goose that had successfully snatched food.
Sunflower Facing the Sun Divine Skill could only be cultivated during the day; progress at night was very poor, even worse than sleeping, so after trying it once, she didn't continue cultivating at night.
"How does it feel to cultivate?" Yu Xian asked curiously.
Nora thought for a moment and replied, "It feels like soaking in a hot spring, and my body temperature is about ten degrees higher than before. Besides that, I haven't found anything special yet."
"Body temperature rising? That should be a good thing," Yu Xian immediately said, thinking of his own situation.
After consuming a large amount of Silver Blood, his body temperature also rose, and after his body temperature rose, his physical fitness also improved. He estimated Nora was in a similar situation.
This indicated that Nora was indeed getting stronger.
Nora then placed her hand on Yu Xian's face, blinked, and asked, "Is my hand hot now?"
"Not hot, just a little warm."
Yu Xian felt the soft touch on his face and couldn't help but smile as he looked at Nora's smile.
Then, a thought struck him, and he reached out to place his hand on Nora's cheek, asking, "What about my hand? Is it warm?"

"So cold." Nora quickly pulled away, pretending to be disgusted.
Yu Xian used Silver Blood to warm his palm, then chased after her to touch her again, laughing, "How about now?"
"Huh, why did it get hot again?" Nora looked at Yu Xian in surprise, her cheeks flushed.
Yu Xian just smiled but didn't tell Nora the reason, which made Nora chase after Yu Xian, launching a series of 'goose attacks'.
Subsequently, the two walked slowly, laughing and playing, turning a five-minute walk into over half an hour.
After sending Nora home, Yu Xian then teleported back to his own house.
After showering, he opened the refrigerator, took out some fresh beef, and prepared to make a stir-fried beef dish for himself.
Ever since he could eat, he hadn't intended to mistreat himself, so he bought a lot of meat and froze it, so he could cook for himself occasionally when he didn't want to eat out.
In fact, his cooking wasn't bad.
In the past, to take care of his father, he had taught himself many dishes. He might not be as good as a professional chef, but his skill was definitely better than the average person.
Moreover, now that he had Super Taste, as long as he was willing to taste more, it was impossible for the food to be bad.
Half an hour later, he sat in the living room eating stir-fried beef and a bowl of white rice. Perhaps feeling it was a bit too quiet, he turned on the TV and connected to the Kylin APP, preparing to see if there was any big news internally.
【A Flying Corpse has appeared again in Twin West Mountains, and a search is currently underway. All members below Eagle Rank are requested not to approach Twin West Mountains.】
【Battle Division has once again added six captains. The awarding ceremony will be held in Yanjing.】
【The nationwide investigation of Brain-Eating Neural Worm has been completed. Currently, all victims controlled by Brain-Eating Neural Worm are under surveillance. The Research Department will develop medicine as soon as possible to save every victim as much as possible.】
【Regarding the detailed rules for weapon applications, members who meet the qualification standards can apply. Thanks to the weapon provider, Comrade Xian Yu.】
...
...
Yu Xian's expression was a bit strange. What kind of blessed land was Twin West Mountains, that Flying Corpses kept appearing? It was too terrifying.
Additionally, he had thought that Kylin had given up on the Brain-Eating Neural Worm investigation due to Demos's matter, but it turned out Kylin had quietly investigated the situation in major cities across the country.
However, what he didn't expect was that Kylin didn't immediately act against those infected by the Brain-Eating Neural Worm; instead, they wanted to save these people.
In fact, those people infected by the Brain-Eating Neural Worm were indeed not dead yet.
Their nerves were merely replaced by the Brain-Eating Neural Worm, but their brains were still alive; it was just that information reception was controlled by the Brain-Eating Neural Worm, and their every move could be misled.
If there was a way to save these people, Yu Xian also felt that they should strive for it, rather than just killing everyone.
"I hope the Research Department succeeds!"
Yu Xian took two bites of rice, eating and silently wishing in his heart.
As for the last piece of news, although he sold the extraordinary weapons and equipment to Kylin, they were sold at standard market prices. The problem was that extraordinary weapons and equipment had always been in short supply, so many pieces of equipment, if truly sold on the market, would fetch prices far above the market price.
Coupled with the very large quantity of weapons and equipment he sold, which greatly alleviated the supply pressure on the logistics department, the logistics department specifically expressed their gratitude to him.
He clicked on this message, and sure enough, many comrades below were expressing their gratitude to Xian Yu.
Seeing so many people's thanks, he felt a bit pleased.
After finishing his meal in one go, Yu Xian then prepared to continue his journey.
Although last night's journey was a bit tiring, a bit monotonous, and even a bit dangerous, it was more about curiosity for the unknown and anticipation for the scenery ahead.
He had grown to like that feeling.
In an instant, he appeared at the location he marked last night, and then he manipulated the Space Bubble to continue flying forward.
The sky wasn't completely dark yet; the setting sun emitted red light on the horizon, and the sky full of red clouds looked like flames burning the sky. The dim yellow mountain peaks flickered between light and dark, as if they were slumbering monsters.
Yu Xian adjusted his navigation, slightly adjusted his flight direction, and then continuously took photos with his phone, recording all the beautiful scenery he saw.
However, just as he was checking the photos he had taken, a green shadow flew from the ground at an extremely fast speed.
A Blood Shield instantly formed, and then it was sliced in half by a single strike.
What a huge mantis!
Yu Xian clearly saw the attacker and thought in surprise.
The next second, as the mantis struck out with its scythe again, he moved to another Space Bubble nearby. Instantly, he saw the Space Bubble he was originally in sliced open by a single blow.
"Skill: Appraisal!"
Yu Xian seized the opportunity to activate his skill.
The next moment, the mantis's attributes appeared before him.

【Summary: A super swordsman among insects.】
----------
It's an Eagle Rank!
And it was clearly a high-attack, low-defense squishy, no wonder it could cut his Space Bubble open with one strike.
At this moment, the Scythe Mantis pursued again, its sharp scythes emitting a dazzling cold light.
"Tsk, overestimating yourself, seeking death!"
Yu Xian frowned slightly, seeing that the Scythe Mantis was relentless.
He raised his hand and flicked out a Space Bubble. The Space Bubble rapidly expanded during its flight, and at the same time, the space inside became chaotic and distorted.
The Scythe Mantis was caught off guard and crashed into the chaotic Space Bubble. Its body seemed to be stirred by immense force; it lasted less than a second before exploding, turning into a constantly swirling green blood mist.
It came quickly, died quickly, and died cleanly.
Yu Xian looked at the green blood in the Space Bubble and suddenly became curious: if he absorbed the blood of this thing, would he be able to gain a new skill tree?
However, wouldn't that turn the chaotic Space Bubble into a juicer?
