Magic High School.

He felt that his psionic power was increasing too quickly, which might not be a good thing. He was struggling to learn psionic power enhancement, and it seemed that he would probably reach the third level by the end of the semester, at which point he would have to learn psionic power projection.

As the teacher in the Noble Phantasm Department mentioned before, once psionic energy is released externally, it becomes extremely difficult to control. Once psionic energy leaves one's body, as an externally released force, it becomes as untamed as a wild dog that has broken free of its reins.

Okay, Li Ge's thoughts are getting more and more off-topic.

“Domain?” Yi Lian picked up her monocle and then asked, “I think I’ve heard of this thing before. Isn’t it called the ultimate technique? It’s said to be so difficult that even professors and experts scratch their heads.”

“We’re trying to simplify the basics of this now. Give it a try and see if you can get your hands on the basics,” Li Ge said with a smile.

"Alright then." Yi Lian roughly understood; this meant she was to try out the new product.

Anyway, I won't lose anything, so I might as well give this field a try.

"How do you use it?" he asked, tossing the monocle in his hand.

"Just like that, you wear it near your eyes, and it will automatically attach and stay in place," Li Ge demonstrated.

He didn't really understand why people in the Mysterious Academy liked wearing these things. He felt they were extremely uncomfortable to wear, as if the bones in his eye sockets were holding them in place. Wearing them for a long time could even cause the bones in his eye sockets to gradually become deformed.

However, it's quite convenient as a magical device. According to Abaddon, the monocle was for easier ritual setup, but since he doesn't need to learn rituals, it's useless to him.

Yilian picked it up, looked at it, and put it in her eye socket, saying, "And then?"

"Then, go to sleep and have sweet dreams," Li Ge said with a smile.

Yi Lian: "?"

"nerve!"

"Hey buddy, I'm really telling the truth. The first step in this field is dreaming, learning to control your dreams, building a stable and continuous world within them, and then fixing this dream world into your own inner world. That's considered getting started."

After Li Ge's explanation, Yi Lian understood and returned to her room, where she lay down on the waterbed.

This was Li Ge's first time entering Yi Lian's room. Each of them had a small room of about twenty square meters with a private bathroom, and a large living room of several tens of square meters in the middle, with their rooms located on either side. They wouldn't enter someone else's room unless they were deliberately trying to.

Yi Lian's room was completely different from his. His bed was like a bathtub filled with water, and there were many fish tanks in the room with air ducts connected to them. Some of these tanks housed strange aquatic animals, while others contained unknown algae or corals.

It felt like stepping into an ocean park, which surprised Li Ge quite a bit.

This is simply because different races have completely different lifestyles.

"Sleeping will do, right?" Yi Lian lay down in the bathtub, and then seemed to immediately become one with the water in the bathtub, as if she had melted away.

“I’ll stay here and watch over you to prevent any accidents,” Li Ge said.

"alright."

Seeing that Yilian seemed to have completely merged into the tank of water, Li Ge wouldn't have been able to tell where Yilian had gone if it weren't for the fixed position of the monocle. He suddenly felt that the Morphling's way of sleeping was so peculiar.

As for the surrounding environment, Li Ge suddenly saw a fish floating belly up. He found it very interesting; this alien fish could even swim on its back.

Then, when he reached in, the needle-like sting made Li Ge pull his arm back instantly.

"Wait, why is this thing electrified... Oh my god, it's leaking electricity!"

Li Ge suddenly saw the fish floating belly-up but still slowly paddling in the water, and suddenly felt that this guy's vitality was a bit too tenacious.

Meanwhile, in Yilian's dream.

He did indeed enter a dream; it was a school, and everything around him felt so familiar.

So that's how it is. Is this the prerequisite for this domain? Controlling dreams?

He tentatively tried to control the school in the dream. The next moment, figures from his memories appeared one by one, and then he even graduated, wearing a doctoral cap and receiving a diploma.

The dream flashed by. The next moment, Yilian felt as if she had graduated and returned home in glory, to her hometown, a small fishing village inhabited entirely by mutant elves…

No, my hometown!

"Brother, let's have a duel and see who's the better one!"

"Yilian, let's duel!"

"Let's duel, for this is your inescapable destiny."

"Come, let's fight!"

Let's settle this once and for all!

Countless figures and scenes flashed before his eyes, all of them seeking a duel with him.

It was as if, here, failing to complete the dueling ritual was a heinous crime. Relatives, friends, family, and even the entire society and tribe were systematically oppressing him, forcing him to complete the Morphling dueling ritual, to fight another Morphling to the death.

If you win, you're male; if you lose, you're female.

In that instant, he broke out in a cold sweat and cried out in terror, "Quack! No! I don't want to see this thing!"

Li Ge, who was searching for the leak point nearby, was speechless.

He saw Yi Lian suddenly get up from the bathtub, splashing water all around him. He didn't know if he was drenched in sweat, but he was soaked, and it was impossible to tell which parts were sweat and which were water.

"What's wrong?" Li Ge asked.

"Nothing...nothing...I'm not playing anymore, I'm not playing anymore..." Yi Lian immediately threw his monocle at Li Ge and said this. He looked as if he had suffered some ultimate insult in his dream.

Li Ge: "?"

What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? I think I had the same reaction every time I dreamed about Liu Ruyan at the beginning?

What exactly did Yilian dream about? Why did she react so strongly?

Li Ge took the monocle from his hand. He wondered if he should do what Abaddon did and enter Yi Lian's dream to see what was going on and experience it with him. Maybe that would make him feel better.

He couldn't accept Liu Ruyan as the core of his domain before, but after Abaddon treated him to a few meals at Shi, he got used to it.

Li Ge thought to herself, then looked out the window and saw Xiao Ye pruning the fruit trees in the yard.

"By the way, Xiao Ye, I have something good here, want to try it?" Li Ge came up with another bad idea.

Chapter 176 You'll regret this!

"Domain? I've heard about it recently. Are you part of this project?" Xiaoye asked with a puzzled expression as she took the monocle.

"You actually know?" Li Ge was suddenly a little surprised. After all, Yi Lian hadn't reacted much to the earthquake in the academic circle, but Xiao Ye actually knew something about it.

“Someone on the forum found the paper you authored, and they’ve been talking about the field ever since,” Xiaoye said, as she began trying to put on her monocle.

"People on the forum are interested in this? Which forum?" Li Ge suddenly became interested. Is there really a place with such a strong academic atmosphere?

It seems that this academic earthquake only affected senior students in traditional disciplines and older professors, and had no impact on Li Ge and his junior colleagues. They can continue to enjoy their holidays and fight as usual.

"A forum for scumbags," Xiaoye said with a strange expression.

Li Ge: "..."

"Next, shall we go to my room or yours?" she asked.

"Either is fine," Li Ge said casually.

Valerie wasn't around at this time anyway; she'd gone to the virtual arena early in the morning to climb the ranks.

"Then let's do it on the sofa in the living room."

"Alright then." Li Ge paused for a moment, wondering why this statement seemed ambiguous.

Never mind, I'll just go to sleep first.

Soon, Xiao Ye fell asleep on the sofa. This time, Li Ge was prepared. Last time, the failure was due to Yi Lian's unstable domain, and for some reason, Yi Lian seemed to have developed some kind of psychological trauma, making her reluctant to try this domain again.

Li Ge thought of Abaddon's words: "Not everyone has the courage to face their own heart. There aren't many people like us who dare to face their own hearts."

But why is Liu Ruyan in my heart? What is this thing? It can't be a collection of all the outrageous and abstract stories I've read, right?

It can't be that my essence is abstract, can it?

Li Ge thought a lot, but he still slowly sat down at the other end of the sofa and tried to enter a dream state by controlling the domain.

Abaddon demonstrated it, the double row of red stones, he can also replicate that.

Then, Li Ge also drifted off to sleep.

"Li Ge?" The voice came, and Li Ge was stunned for a moment. He saw the girl across from him. The two of them were in the milk tea shop together, looking at the high school gate across the street where people were coming and going.

Wait a minute, how come this is my territory?

Li Ge was a little stunned. His own domain was divided into two layers, and he was clearly in the surface world right now, because the private high school he used to attend was right across from him, and there was also the internet cafe he owned near the school.

Shouldn't I be entering Xiaoye's territory? Why am I back in my own territory? Did I do something wrong?

Li Ge recalled the scene of duoing with Abaddon in Redstone and realized that his operation should be correct.

"What's wrong?" Luan Poye tapped his nose with his finger, and Li Ge finally snapped out of his thoughts.

"It's nothing. You know I always have a very unconventional way of thinking," Li Ge casually explained.

Perhaps it was my own mistake that prevented me from entering Xiaoye's domain, and instead I returned to my own domain.

Fortunately, it was on the surface level, rather than in the deeper layers where he was fiercely battling Liu Ruyan and tormenting each other.

Well, since we're already here, let's just enjoy life and get some practice in this area.

Abaddon said that when he was able to calmly complete everything in his domain, that was when the domain was able to detach itself and expand outward.

Therefore, each time you enter your own field, it is a kind of training and self-cultivation for you.

And so they sat in the bubble tea shop, watching the people coming and going from the high school across the street.

It was raining outside. They saw the loser who often went to internet cafes to play StarCraft, looking lost in the rain; they also saw the cool young man, who seemed to be getting into his father's Maybach and driving onto the overpass; and a girl who seemed to be a cheerleader, looking forlorn in the rain.

Luan Poye seemed to particularly enjoy watching scenes from the high school across the street. Perhaps in the world she created for her, they met at that high school, so even now, she still likes to find a spot from time to time to watch what's happening at that high school, and then sit there for a whole day.

It's also possible that she was drawn to the hazy yet pure emotions between the young men and women in the story.

"What's wrong?" Li Ge asked.

She reached out and pointed to the pathetic young man running wildly in the rain. No one was coming to pick him up today, and he didn't even have an umbrella.

"That boy is the one who often comes to our internet cafe. I've seen him before, trying his best to please other girls, but now, not a single person is willing to give him a ride."

"He looks like a dog..."

"Luan Poye said."

"Can you still remember the relationships between the students inside?" Li Ge asked with a smile, but after glancing at the loser running in the rain with his backpack on his head, he casually said, "I'll be leaving for a bit."

As Li Ge left the milk tea shop, the heavy rain was automatically repelled by his spiritual energy whenever it was about to touch him, as if an invisible barrier had formed around him.
