On the Eight Extremes Star, I awakened the twelve talismans.

Bai Xue was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information and couldn't process it all at once.

For more than two years, she has been carrying the fate of the entire planet on her own, rushing to the battlefield every day, watching people around her fall one after another, and watching her homeland wither away day by day in the poisonous fog.

Unexpectedly, all the problems were solved as soon as Ye Han arrived.

The toxic fog has been cleared away, and supplies are on their way; everything is moving in a positive direction.

"Ye Han, you've changed so much. Not only are you stronger, but you're also incredibly wealthy. You don't even care about Blue Eyes anymore, and you can just pull out hundreds of millions of dollars without a second thought."

Ye Han smiled and said, "These are nothing. Oh, by the way, there's something I need to give you."

"What is it?"

"Close your eyes, and don't peek," Ye Han said mysteriously.

Bai Xue cooperated perfectly, sitting upright with her eyes closed and a curious smile on her lips, wanting to see what Ye Han was up to.

She could feel Ye Han walk up behind her, gently brushing aside the white hair at the back of her neck with his fingers, and then there was something cool and refreshing on her neck, pressed against her collarbone.

"Okay, you can open your eyes and take a look now."

Bai Xue looked down and saw that she had a crystal necklace around her neck.

The chain, made of ice crystal, is thinner than a strand of hair and almost transparent; you can barely feel it against your skin.

The pendant is a pale blue crystal about the size of a fingernail, which refracts tiny bright spots under the light.

"It's so beautiful! Is this necklace for me?" Snow White exclaimed with delight.

This was the first time Ye Han had given her a gift.

"Yes, there's a rainbow stone inside this pendant. Let's see what ability it awakens!"

"Ah! There are rainbow stones inside?"

The preciousness of rainbow stones is self-evident.

The reason why free agents are powerful is that rainbow stones can grant unique special abilities based on the personality and desires of the awakened one.

There aren't many free people in the entire universe combined, and each rainbow stone is priceless.

Ye Han had previously taken two rainbow stones from Chang'e and Inha. He returned one to Chang'e to continue her undercover mission, and the other was set in this ice crystal necklace and given to Bai Xue.

"Alright, stop being so alarmed. From now on, this rainbow stone is yours. Try it out first; after you awaken your ability, your strength will also increase."

"it is good."

Bai Xue took a deep breath, closed her eyes, gently placed her palm on the pendant, and sank her consciousness into the rainbow stone.

Energy fluctuations surged within the room, and a layer of white, semi-transparent light spread from Bai Xue's palm, slowly enveloping the entire living room and surrounding the three of them.

Lingling reached out and poked the inner wall of the light shield, her fingertip was gently bounced back.

"What kind of ability is this?" Ye Han raised his hand and pressed it against the light shield, feeling a gentle yet resilient resistance in his palm.

Lingling's eyes lit up with green light, and after scanning for a moment, she replied:

"Master, Sister Baixue has awakened the power of barriers."

"The barrier set up by this ability is very strong. As long as you have enough stamina, even if you can't fight against some powerful enemies, you can at least remain undefeated. However, it will be at a disadvantage against spatial abilities. After all, a barrier is a fixed barrier in space, and spatial abilities can bypass it directly, so it will not provide any protection."

"Okay, I understand." Ye Han looked at the semi-transparent light shield, lost in thought.

The abilities granted by the Rainbow Stone are related to the personality and inner self of the awakened individual.

Chang'e sought immortality and awakened the ability to extract medicinal power.

The blue-eyed man is obsessed with music and has awakened a sonic ability.

The protagonist of the original work, McDonald, has abilities related to food.

Judging from the abilities that Bai Xue awakened, she is more inclined to protect.

Perhaps because she grew up in the perilous environment of Tianxue Star and watched her loved ones leave one by one, her deepest desire was not to become stronger, but to have a barrier to protect those she wanted to shield from all harm.

So she started learning martial arts at the age of five, and even willingly came to the Eight Extremes Star, all to protect others.

Bai Xue snapped out of that state and opened her eyes to see the light barrier: "Ye Han, what ability have I awakened?"

"Power of the barrier."

Ye Han punched it hard, but the barrier didn't budge.

"This ability is very strong and has great potential. Although it is mainly used for defense, defense is not the same as being passive."

"I suggest you develop more in this direction, such as creating a damage-reflecting barrier that can reflect incoming attacks back, or an elemental barrier specifically designed to trap enemies based on a certain elemental attribute."

"If used well, it can prevent the enemy from entering and also prevent them from escaping."

Bai Xue immediately understood Ye Han's meaning and asked, "What about close-combat defense? I'm not very good at defense. Can the barrier make up for that?"

"Of course."

"You can try compressing the barrier to your body surface, making it a layer of close-fitting armor. This won't restrict your movement, while maintaining high-intensity defense. Combined with your original close-combat style, when you charge into the enemy ranks, you'll have a unified offense and defense, and your opponents won't be able to break through your defenses even if they try to counterattack."

"Close-fitting armor..." Bai Xue murmured, repeating it over and over, her eyes gradually brightening.

With a flick of her right hand, the semi-transparent light shield around her rapidly shrank, becoming like a thin film of light clinging tightly to her skin.

Then, from the shoulders to the waist and legs, everything was covered by a layer of white light.

"It really works!" Bai Xue smiled, her eyes filled with joy.

Looking at her earnest and focused expression, Ye Han couldn't help but smile, recalling the same expression she had when she taught him training on the desert planet.

The master-disciple relationship has been reversed.

Now it's my turn to guide her in developing her analytical skills.

"By the way, you can also try using elemental barriers more often, such as trapping enemies with barriers and gradually wearing them down."

"Yes, I'll think about those directions you mentioned later." Bai Xue withdrew the barrier's power, and the faint light around her dissipated.

"Ye Han, how can I possibly thank you? You've been helping me ever since the Eight Extremes Star. Now, you've not only helped me solve the troubles on Tianxue Star, but you've also given me such a wonderful gift."

"It seems like I owe you more and more."

"You're mine now, so what's the big deal? Don't overthink it," Ye Han replied casually.

A mischievous smile appeared on Bai Xue's face.

With her hands behind her back, she gave Ye Han a slight, affected bow, her tone as affected as a young lady from an ancient drama: "Alright, alright, my lord Ye Han, I can never repay your great kindness in this lifetime, so how about I repay you with my body?"

Seeing her acting like a drama queen, Ye Han didn't expose her and continued, "Then I'll gladly accept your offer. Let's go wash up first."

"Yes, sir!"
