Like most "artificial healers", Rong Mi doesn't really like his healing abilities.

Because they were forced to undergo genetic modification with drug injections and several mental surgeries to acquire said ability.

The sequelae of those drugs and the post-surgery pain made life feel worse than death. They also felt physically uncomfortable every time they used their healing powers.

But this time, because his spiritual domain had merged with that of the original body, Rong Mi did not feel any discomfort during the treatment.

Yinlang fell into a coma and did not resist Rong Mi's mental power.

The wolf's spiritual sea surface was clearly displayed in front of the young man.

The first thing the youth saw was a diamond-shaped shadow as clear as ice crystals hanging high in the center of the Spiritual Domain, which was the sign of the Star Beast Spiritual Contract.

It means that this silver dire wolf has concluded a contract with a human.

He clicked his tongue slightly.

Rong Mi: Someone has beaten me to the punch in claiming the fluffy wolf.^[1]

He was a little disappointed, but this emotion only existed for a short moment. The young man's attention was quickly attracted by Silver Wolf's spiritual realm.

This is a very vast spiritual realm, a silvery spiritual sea.

It was also the most miserable mental realm that Rong Mi had ever seen.

The mental realm of all the mecha masters he had healed before was not as frightening as that of this silver wolf.

The branches of a healthy spiritual realm are lush and complete, and the energy in the sea is calm.

But at this moment, the roaring waves on the sea are surging, and the undercurrents of energy under the water collide with each other, forming chaotic whirlpools that tear each other apart. Several of the large whirlpools penetrated from the surface of the sea to depths that Rong Mi could not see clearly, dividing the seawater in all directions and rolling out deep valleys in the sea that were difficult to see the bottom of.

The spiritual tree that provides energy to the spiritual realm grows upward from the depths of the sea, spreading its branches.

This spiritual tree, the same color as the sea, is scarred.

A large number of branches and vines were broken, floating in the seawater, and were crushed by the whirlpools.

Some branches and vines hang crookedly on the tree. Although they have cracked, they have not completely separated from the spiritual tree. They cling to the remaining intact branches in a weird and twisted posture, forcing themselves to continue growing and supplying energy to the sea.

The trunk of this spiritual tree is covered with a strange burnt black color, and the color slowly seeps into the surrounding seawater, staining the silver waves with streaks.

This is a symbol of the invasion of the spiritual realm by the ice butterfly's mental power toxin.

The bright red mental power of the ice butterfly will turn into inactive black after being separated from the body, releasing strong toxins.

The wolf had obviously been seriously injured in the battle with the ice butterfly. After the external wounds healed, the damage suffered in the spiritual realm has not been treated, and it has been delayed until now.

Rong Mi took a deep breath: It's a miracle that this wolf can survive until now!

The ice butterfly's toxin needs to be solved, but it is not the most urgent problem.

He first needs to calm down Silver Wolf's spiritual sea.

So the lavender spiritual power filled the silver sea and brushed against the waves.

The moment their mental powers connected, Rong Mi couldn't help but let out a low hiss.

It was as if there was an electric current rushing into his brain. It didn't hurt, but it gave him a weird numbness in an instant.

Rong Mi: "..."

It was an interaction between spiritual forces he had never encountered before.

But the wolf's injury was too serious, so he didn't distract himself from thinking too much. He only tried his best to calm Yin Lang's spiritual sea and untie the chaotic whirlpools on the sea.

Yinlang, who was twitching non-stop, gradually calmed down.

At the same time, Lu Yi slowly opened his eyes in a sunken starship at the bottom of the ice sea in the distance.

This was the first time he was truly awake after falling into a coma due to a sudden mental disorder.

He could feel a special energy slowly moving around on the surface of his spiritual realm.

It was a vague feeling as if someone was healing the spiritual sea of ​​his pet.

That dire silver wolf was the spiritual body that he had to split off after his spiritual advancement was interrupted seven years ago and he almost died from self-destruction.

Wolves can act independently, and most of their behaviors are no different from ordinary star beasts.

It's just that the wolf's spirit is connected to his spiritual realm, and its preferences and actions are influenced by Lu Yi's deepest subconscious.

In contrast, Lu Yi could also feel everything Silver Wolf had experienced.

This is a kind of spiritual link synaesthesia that cannot be completely blocked.

When the mental link is strengthened, he can completely sink into the wolf's spiritual realm and share 100% of his senses with the wolf.

When it is weakened, it can only weaken the sensory connection to about 20% at most.

And when he doesn't control it, his sensory connection with Yinlang is around 50%.

Like now.

Lu Yi could feel that the special energy entering the Silver Wolf's spiritual sea was not gentle.

The other party's mental strength was very high, not even as high as a therapist should be, but it made him very comfortable.

The therapist was calming down Silver Wolf's spiritual sea little by little, so Lu Yi's spiritual sea also became quieter.

Although it wasn't much, it was enough for Lu Yi to wake up.

The admiral frowned slightly. There was no discomfort, it just felt strange.

Because no one has been able to enter his or Yinlang's spiritual realm for many years.

The First Legion has its own healers.

According to Army regulations, sergeants in theaters need to receive superficial palliative care regularly every month. After an injury, training is suspended for treatment and recovery.

Lu Yi had suffered many injuries, but when he was in the First Legion, he never received even a single superficial relief.

Lu Yi remembered that the last time he received spiritual treatment was before he became an adult.

At that time, he had not yet completed his spiritual promotion and had not even entered the military academy.

At the age of sixteen, his mental power increased from 2S to 3S. From then on, only therapists with a mental power level above S level and a mental strength level above S level could enter the spiritual realm.

However, the number of healers in the Human Federation is sparse, and there are not many healers above S level. Although the healer's mental power has excellent affinity and stability, it naturally lacks attack power, so its intensity has never been high.

The top mental strength in the Federation is only between level B and level A during treatment. There has never been a treatment with mental strength reaching S.

From then on, Lu Yi's mental depletion could only be alleviated by taking medicine.

When he went to the military academy, the military academy instructor in charge of admissions once persuaded Lu Yi to give up going to the mecha division for this reason.

Because the mecha master's mental domain is commonly severely depleted and he will definitely be injured.

Minor injuries can be solved by taking medicine, but serious injuries...can only be cured by a therapist.

Lu Yi did not agree.

The education he received since childhood made him understand that the level and intensity of his mental power can only function as it should in a war zone.

He was destined to become a mecha master and a theater commander.

He also wants to be such a person.

The Lu family has been looking for a therapist who can enter Lu Yi's mental realm. His grandfather has even begun to seek treatment for sudden illnesses.

Unexpectedly, there was something wrong with it.

Lu Yi recalled the name he heard when he was half-conscious.

Rong Mi.

This therapist, whose mental strength is said to be only C-level and whose overall rating is only D-level, is obviously more than that.

Mr. Lu learned about Rong Mi's situation from the Rong family.

The Rong family said that Rong Mi did not like to endure hardships, had poor patience, a weak sense of responsibility, and was prone to losing his temper, but other than that, he was not a bad person and had no major problems.

Lu Yi didn't know why these adjectives were related to this youth.

He frowned, recalling the scene when the wolf noticed the fluctuations in the Ice Butterflies' mental power when he was unconscious, and left the starship alone to hunt them down.

The mecha's spirit tank glowed with bright purple light, like gorgeous decorative lines on the black frame. Sparks of spiritual power bloomed one after another on the snowy field, burning the butterflies.

Despite this, the Butterflies still broke through to Rong Mi.

The young man held the most common laser blade in his hand to fight the ice butterfly.

Behind him was a mecha master who had lost his mecha protection, so he refused to retreat even a step while fighting the Ice butterfly. Without saying a word of nonsense, one person has already built a line of defense.

The black mecha's movements are nimble but subtle. The knife came out quickly, without hesitation, fear, or mistakes.

Ordinary people can only see how fast Rong Mi operates.

The mecha master could see that his operations were precise and efficient, and his control over the balance and position of the mecha seemed to fuse himself with the mecha.

But only a mecha master who can be as powerful as Rong Mi can know how much hard training and actual combat are required to achieve such control.

Talent, patience, the hard work of squeezing your abilities to the extreme again and again, and the tolerance for pain...

Lu Yi has experienced them all.

He pulled off the lines of the treatment equipment and sat up with some difficulty.

The admiral's thoughts were still on Rong Mi, so he quickly thought of another thing.

The young man once explicitly refused to come to the First Legion to be his therapist.

Lu Yi didn't like forcing others, and he never asked Rong Mi why he refused.

But he probably guessed that the reason for Rong Mi's refusal was related to his personality and the rumors that Silver Wolf was extremely aggressive.

And Rong Mi's current behavior... probably means he didn't recognize his wolf.

I wonder if the young man will be angry after knowing the truth.^[2]

Lu Yi coughed lightly.

He felt that his mental domain had become much calmer after Rong Mi treated Silver Wolf. If there was no fierce battle, there would be no more disordered attacks in the short term.

However, the energy shock caused by the disorder in the mental domain also damaged his organs, making it painful and difficult for him to even breathe.

The admiral fumbled and took out a tube of mental recovery potion from the specially designed sturdy medical cabinet at the bedside, drank it in one gulp, and then pressed the communicator on his wrist.

He lowered his head and found that the communicator on his wrist had been damaged when his mental domain was out of order, and it had broken into several pieces.

Lu Yi frowned and stood up.

His steps were a little unsteady, he felt dizzy when he stood up and almost fell.

The admiral leaned on the wall to concentrate, then casually put on a coat, opened the airtight door of the medical cabin, and walked towards the cockpit of the starship.

The starship's communication device was also damaged, leaving only a rustle in the communication line.

Lu Yi pulled out the panel to check the performance of the starship.

It's a battleship, but it's also a quarantine starship.

In order not to affect others, Lu Yi would be sent to this starship for isolation every time his mental disorder broke out.

During his last psychotic coma, the First Legion's fleet came under attack.

The starship was not hit by gunfire, but became separated from the fleet during the battle, sailed into the gravitational field of the desolate star, and fell into the ice sea.

Because of its self-landing function, the starship was not damaged.

The communication line cannot be connected, probably because it sank at the bottom of the ice sea, and the starship signal was blocked.

Lu Yi then sat in the driver's seat and pressed the start button.

He already knew the general situation of this planet from Silver Wolf's perspective.

The appearance of ice butterflies in the safe zone is no small matter.

It's no small matter that the low-level ice butterflies on the ground are chasing Rong Mi.

What's more, when Silver Wolf just released his spiritual power, he vaguely felt that there were high-level ice butterflies deep underground.

The level is not low, there is at least one level three ice butterfly, and it looks like it is sleeping.

It's just that a large number of low-level ice butterflies died on the ice and there were changes in the group. It may wake up soon.

The situation of Rong Mi and the other contestants on this planet is very dangerous.

Lu Yi hoped that the patrols and military headquarters near the planet had received relevant information and began to organize an evacuation.

But he couldn't see this for the time being from Rong Mi's current actions.

The young man's mecha still stayed on the edge of the ice sea, with no intention of returning to the competition-gathering place.
