Chapter 513: Lu Lingxiao VS Lu Wangshu! Puppet Battle Formation!
by xennovelBishui Lake.
With the spiritual veins upgraded and nourished by thirty-six Ocean Pearls, Bishui Lake has become much deeper.
The lake glimmers, with green waves rippling as numerous spirit fish swim through the water, full of vitality.
On Lake Heart Island, where the spirit energy is the richest, a light mist seems to hang in the air, making it tranquil and mysterious.
On a small boat, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue sat side-by-side, holding Green Jade Fish Rods. They whispered intimately like an immortal couple.
Not far away, Lu Wangshu sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Mysterious Turtle, holding a Green Jade Bamboo Pole. Watching this scene, she pouted, finding fishing completely boring.
She immediately flicked the fishing rod, splashing little droplets of water before bringing her delicate fingers to her lips and whistling.
Instantly, a graceful Luan Bird with a long neck, elegant posture, and a body shining with Green Jade light soared in with wings spread wide.
Lu Wangshu gently stepped onto the Luan Bird, her dress fluttering as she landed. She moved to fish elsewhere.
“Haha.”
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng found it amusing. He didn’t mind and continued enjoying the peaceful moment with Xiao Xiyue.
After a while, they decided it was time to head back to Biyun Peak for a meal with their daughter.
Although he no longer needed food at his level of cultivation.
The desire to eat, along with many years of habit, still led them to dine occasionally.
Besides, mealtime was a moment of family warmth.
“Husband, Fellow Daoist Xiao.”
Just as the three returned to the Lu Family Mansion, Ling Zixiao approached, followed by Lu Lingxiao and Lu Linghe.
“Oh? Xiaoyao, you’ve completed your seclusion?”
“Zixiao, is there something you need?”
Lu Changsheng noticed his son’s spirit had significantly changed, with an added invisible aura of authority.
Although this aura had no effect on him.
It would be naturally suppressive to ordinary cultivators.
Like the bloodline suppression between spirit beasts.
“Hmm?”
On seeing Lu Lingxiao, Lu Wangshu immediately furrowed her brows.
She was very familiar with Lu Lingxiao.
She quickly noticed her younger brother’s changed appearance.
However, she couldn’t pinpoint the exact cause.
“Xiaoyao has something to discuss with you, husband.”
Ling Zixiao, dressed in an elegant light blue palace gown, spoke with a graceful smile.
“Alright, let’s eat first.”
Lu Changsheng smiled, motioning to discuss inside.
They moved to a side hall.
Lu Wangshu’s gaze stayed fixed on Lu Lingxiao.
The more she looked, the more she wanted to beat him up.
He was far too arrogant.
This brother not only had an invisible aura of authority but moved with a dragon and tiger’s elegance.
Especially the way he walked that Lu Wangshu couldn’t find words for.
To sum it up in four words: ‘Dragon Strides, Tiger Steps!’
Although her brother had always been outstanding, he had never been this impressive.
“Could it be because it’s been too long since I’ve hit him during his return?”
Lu Wangshu rubbed her jade-like chin.
She and Lu Lingxiao had been busy outside for a while.
They assisted at Misty Rain Market, the family caravan, and acquired shop compensation from the Sima Family.
Finally, their father told them to return home after receiving a Magical Treasure embryo, crafted by Senior Hong Lian.
They had been separated for nearly a year.
Lu Lingxiao noticed his sister’s gaze, and his deep eyes looked back as if to say, ‘What are you staring at?’
Lu Wangshu lifted her chin defiantly as if to say, ‘What are you going to do about it?’
Lu Lingxiao’s eyes sparkled with golden light, silently challenging her to keep staring.
Lu Wangshu was not to be outdone, clear eyes appearing with mysterious, complex talisman symbols.
“Can you two stop it?”
Lu Changsheng paused and said, somewhat helpless.
These two siblings couldn’t meet without causing trouble.
“What did we do? I’m just catching up with my brother I haven’t seen in a while.”
Lu Wangshu responded innocently.
“If you really can’t stand each other, then go outside and spar.”
Lu Changsheng suggested.
“Father! How can you say that! You’re stirring up trouble between us!”
Lu Wangshu immediately retorted, putting on a sisterly expression.
Normally, she would’ve started fighting Lu Lingxiao by now.
But now that her mother and her aunt, Ling Zixiao, were present, she couldn’t stir up trouble.
“…”
Lu Lingxiao said nothing.
But inside, he felt a bit tempted.
“It’s alright, I think Xiaoyao also wants to spar a bit.”
Lu Changsheng noticed and continued, “Besides, I’m curious to see how much you’ve both progressed.”
He wasn’t making this up.
He genuinely wanted to see the results of his son’s Heavenly Son’s Vision and his daughter’s progress.
“Husband.”
Ling Zixiao rolled her eyes at Lu Changsheng.
She found it incredibly improper for a father not to stop his children from fighting, but rather encourage it.
Still, she was somewhat eager to see how her son now fared against Lu Wangshu.
In the past, her son had always been bullied, outmatched by Lu Wangshu, which as a mother, she couldn’t help but feel some way about.
But since it was just sibling playfulness, she never intervened.
Now that her son had fused with the Law Seed, she naturally wanted to see if he could defeat Lu Wangshu.
Xiao Xiyue’s delicate, beautiful face showed a tender expression. She said nothing.
Her training in the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Technique had made her senses very sharp. She could see the situation between Lu Lingxiao and her daughter.
Although not very familiar with Lu Lingxiao, she knew he was extremely talented, one of the Lu Family’s Golden Core prospects, and had a good relationship with her daughter.
Sibling sparring and playing were fine by her; she had no need, nor knew how to interfere.
“What’s the problem? Encouraging one another helps you both progress. And Xiao Xiyue is here too, so she can see how her daughter’s progressed.”
Lu Changsheng said offhandedly.
As he spoke, a crystal porcelain bottle appeared in his hand. “I have a ‘Seven Star Pill’ here. You two fight, and whoever wins gets it.”
“Seven Star Pill?”
Ling Zixiao was surprised. “Husband, they’re still in the early stages of Foundation Establishment. Isn’t giving them a Seven Star Pill too much?”
The Seven Star Pill is a Tier-3 pill, named after the ‘Seven Stars Shining Bright’ meaning.
Taking it can increase one’s cultivation, saving years of effort.
It can also eliminate hidden injuries and risks that a cultivator might have.
Its effects are somewhat like the ‘Three Yang Pill,’ often called the ‘Minor Foundation Pill.’
Except that compared to the Three Yang Pill, the Seven Star Pill has no effect on Golden Core Formation.
“Pills are meant to be used.”
Lu Changsheng smiled.
This Seven Star Pill was a gift from a kind stranger during a trip to Jin Kingdom with Nangong Mili, so he wasn’t afraid of wasting it.
“Since you say so, Father, then I suppose I’ll spare no effort against Lingxiao.”
Lu Wangshu smiled brightly, realizing her father wasn’t angry and simply wanted to test their strengths.
“What do you say, Lingxiao?”
She looked at Lu Lingxiao, raising her brows and asked.
“Let’s do it.”
In Lu Lingxiao’s deep eyes, a strong fighting spirit erupted with a golden glint.
“See, I knew these two couldn’t help but want to fight every time they met. But let’s eat first.”
Lu Changsheng laughed.
He then asked Ling Zixiao what she had wanted to say earlier.
“Now that Xiaoyao has reached the third level of Foundation Establishment, he intends to go out and broaden his experience. He just wants to integrate what he’s learned recently.”
Ling Zixiao glanced at Xiao Xiyue and softly spoke.
Even though Lu Changsheng trusts Xiao Xiyue completely.
Because of the sensitive nature of the Heavenly Son’s Vision, she kept things vague.
“Broaden your experience.”
Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment and looked at his son. “Why don’t you spend more time with your sister at Crane Ming Mountain, or go train with Cousin Ruyi first before considering long-distance travel?”
“And in a few years, I’ll have other plans for you.”
Although Lu Lingxiao’s abilities could handle roaming and training.
His limited experience made Lu Changsheng hesitate.
He wanted him to gain more experience and later consider sending him to explore the Spirit Control Sect territory.
“Lu Lingxiao, there are still a bunch of tasks at Crane Ming Mountain. You’re bailing out, aren’t you?”
On hearing this, Lu Wangshu’s face showed displeasure.
She hadn’t enjoyed managing Crane Ming Mountain alone.
Having Lu Lingxiao around not only relieved her boredom but made many things easier.
Because despite their banter, she could fully trust her brother.
“…”
Lu Lingxiao’s mouth twitched slightly as he shook his head and said, “That’s not what I meant. It’s just that I feel I need constant battle for improvement, so I was considering going out to train.”
“If that’s the case, then I’ll go to Crane Ming Mountain with Sister Wangshu later.”
Although he was thinking of going outside to train, he hadn’t planned to shirk his responsibilities.
“Want to fight? Sister will take care of it when we get there.”
Lu Wangshu immediately replied.
Previously, she and Lu Qingshan helped take down the Spirit Tiger Association.
If desired, they could use the association’s influence to start expanding.
But expansion inevitably led to battles.
“I’m going too!”
Sitting nearby, munching on candied hawthorn, Lu Linghe raised her hand to join the conversation.
“You’ll stay home.”
Ling Zixiao pressed down on her daughter’s bun hairstyle, her tone exasperated.
Her son and Lu Wangshu going to Crane Ming Mountain was not a vacation; there was no way they could bring her along.
“Father and Sister promised to take me to Crane Ming Mountain!”
Lu Linghe pouted, feeling aggrieved.
Lu Wangshu, upon hearing this, pretended to not notice, looking up and away.
“…”
Lu Changsheng sighed and said, “Since Little Linghe wants to go, let her. If you’re worried, Zixiao, you can accompany her.”
“Besides, with everything happening at Crane Ming Mountain, I’d be more at ease if you were watching over them.”
Given the coming chaos between his daughter and Lu Lingxiao at Crane Ming Mountain.
If no one was watching, things might get out of hand.
Ling Zixiao immediately understood Lu Changsheng’s intention.
After the Purple Secrets Realm, several Lu Family disciples had broken through to Foundation Establishment.
In this situation, expanding industries to accommodate these disciples was inevitable.
Crane Ming Mountain and Chixia Market were great choices.
Looking at her daughter, her gaze softened with some helplessness. “Fine, I’ll take you.”
“Hehe, thank you, Mother!”
Lu Linghe’s sadness vanished, replaced by joy.
As they spoke, a servant brought out spirit cuisine, and everyone began their meal.
Xiao Xiyue’s usually cold and noble demeanor softened around Lu Changsheng and her daughter, but she didn’t say much to Ling Zixiao.
Ling Zixiao, likewise, didn’t engage much.
If the other initiated, she was willing to converse.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t take the initiative.
As a result, most of the conversation was driven by Lu Changsheng and Lu Wangshu, with Lu Linghe helping liven the mood.
“Daddy, is there any more of that sauce from last time?”
Lu Linghe asked, her cheeks bulging with food.
“Which one?”
Lu Changsheng smiled at his adorable daughter.
For cultivators, eating wasn’t just about enjoyment but also a way to enhance their cultivation through Spirit Rice and cuisine.
But his daughter, Lu Linghe, genuinely loved food.
Three meals a day, each one essential.
Her rapid progress in body tempering was closely related to her constant eating.
“It was purple and had lots of sauce.”
Lu Linghe’s clear eyes stared at Lu Changsheng while her cheeks were puffed out like a cute hamster.
“The sauce is gone, but there’s still some meat. I’ll make a pot for you later.”
Lu Changsheng laughed.
Although the family had skilled spirit chefs, when he was in the mood, he enjoyed cooking himself.
“Yay! Thank you, Daddy!”
The girl’s face lit up with joy, clearly excited about the upcoming meal, and her appetite grew even more.
Ling Zixiao shook her head with a sigh.
Watching the innocent and adorable Lu Linghe, Xiao Xiyue felt a sense of closeness.
Her daughter, Lu Wangshu, had also been this cute and lovable when she was younger.
But with age, she had grown less attached to her parents.
So, seeing Lu Linghe, who remained innocent and adorable, Xiao Xiyue couldn’t help but feel some fondness for her.
After Lu Linghe was full, they left the mansion and headed to the back mountain.
Lu Changsheng didn’t summon the Lu Family disciples for the match. He simply activated the formation and let the two fight.
“Go, Brother!”
Lu Linghe cheered, waving her small fists.
In her eyes, her brother stood no chance against her sister, so her sister didn’t need any encouragement.
“Sister Wangshu, I’ve made quite some progress recently, so be careful.”
Lu Lingxiao, dressed in a black and red gown with golden borders, stood tall and majestic.
As he spoke, his deep black eyes glowed with golden light, and his body emanated an overwhelming aura.
Lu Wangshu, wearing a white and pink dress, stood tall with an impeccable appearance, exuding a perfect balance of softness and brilliance.
She could clearly see that Lu Lingxiao was different from before, even without his warning.
“Alright.”
She laughed softly, raising her delicate fingers to draw talismans in the air like a swimming dragon.
She had long mastered the technique of Void Talisman Drawing.
In just a few breaths, she had drawn a talisman.
Lu Lingxiao didn’t move.
When sparring with Lu Wangshu, she typically didn’t use pre-drawn talismans.
So, he wouldn’t unleash his full power at the beginning of the match.
“Boom!”
Once Lu Wangshu was ready, the spiritual energy in Lu Lingxiao’s Qi Sea Dantian surged like a volcanic eruption, accompanied by the roar of a dragon.
Radiant golden light burst from his body, igniting a dark gold flame filled with fierce dominance.
A burning treasure tree with flaming vines appeared before him, shrouded in mist.
Lu Lingxiao reached out, grabbed the Golden Flame Vine Tree, only a foot long, then swept it at Lu Wangshu with a tiger-like force.
“Boom, boom, boom—”
The techniques unleashed by Lu Wangshu’s talismans were immediately destroyed by the strikes of his golden treasure tree.
“What?”
At that moment, both Lu Wangshu and the nearby Xiao Xiyue and Ling Zixiao were astonished by Lu Lingxiao’s power.
It seemed simple and unrefined.
But that only highlighted the terrifying strength of Lu Lingxiao.
“Not bad.”
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly.
Without using any pre-drawn talismans, his daughter might not be able to withstand Lu Lingxiao’s onslaught.
“Whoa!”
Lu Linghe, who was eating candied hawthorn, was also surprised.
Since when did her brother become so strong?
He used to always be beaten by her sister.
Lu Wangshu’s playful smile faded, replaced by a serious expression.
A mysterious pattern emerged on her forehead, glowing with nine-colored light.
“Buzzing—”
She stood there, her dress fluttering as ripples of energy formed, creating talismans all around her.
Even the talisman she had drawn earlier began to tremble, splitting into two, then four, then eight, bombarding Lu Lingxiao relentlessly.
“Boom, boom, boom—”
Lu Lingxiao faced it without fear. Holding the Golden Flame Vine Tree, its flames roared, filled with destructive power as he swept away all attacks, dominating fiercely.
The dark gold dragon-shaped flames engulfed every attack and rushed forward. In moments, he stood before Lu Wangshu, giving her no time to set up her talisman formation.
“Sister Wangshu, use your formation, or you won’t be able to win.”
Lu Lingxiao stopped and said in a deep voice.
He had always fallen to Lu Wangshu because he couldn’t break her talisman formations.
Now, with the Heavenly Son’s Art of Qi Observation, he wanted to see if he could break through.
“Indeed, you should hit your brother early.”
Watching her brother, Lu Wangshu felt a bit annoyed.
She didn’t expect him to grow so strong in just one year.
She cast a glance at her father, seriously suspecting he had given him extra training.
“Well then, I won’t hold back.”
Her dress flowed elegantly as she smiled, revealing her white teeth.
She began to draw talismans, creating formations in all directions.
Lu Lingxiao’s eyes glowed with brilliance, as if he could see the movement of the sun and moon.
As Lu Wangshu’s talismans intertwined, forming a formation.
He could clearly see the entire process, even noticing that his intense focus made the formation’s trajectory appear slower, allowing him to catch some flaws.
For example, many of the talismans Lu Wangshu drew with her spiritual energy weren’t of the same level. She used illusions to disguise them, creating a false image.
“No wonder her talismans seem endless, and her formations set up so quickly.”
Lu Lingxiao realized.
Even though he had trained in eye techniques before, he had never noticed these flaws.
It just showed how refined Lu Wangshu’s techniques were, blurring the line between real and false with just a thought!
“Ninety-nine Mystic Talismans Array! The Golden Light Defense Breaking Heaven and Earth!”
Lu Wangshu formed a complex hand gesture and chanted.
Instantly, the talismans swirled around, merging together to create an impenetrable golden barrier, trapping Lu Lingxiao inside.
“As expected, the Way of Heaven spares only one out of every forty-nine. How could a hastily set up formation be without flaws!”
Lu Lingxiao’s eyes blazed like torches, shining with a dazzling light.
His golden flames surged, and the Golden Flame Vine Tree in his hand swept out, bursting with radiant sunlight.
“Boom, boom, boom—”
The golden formation began to tremble, its light fading.
“So, this is the power of the Heavenly Son’s Art of Qi Observation…”
Not far away, Ling Zixiao watched her son in surprise, feeling both joy and wonder.
Lu Wangshu’s talent in Talisman Formation was undeniable.
Even she found it difficult to find the weak points in such a formation at first glance.
But her son had found the weak point so quickly, breaking the formation with ease.
As she watched her son finally surpass Lu Wangshu, the little annoyances she had held onto for years evaporated.
“But…”
She glanced at Lu Changsheng with a smile, thinking he would have to comfort his daughter later.
“…”
Lu Changsheng remained silent.
His son’s fusion with the Heavenly Son’s Art of Qi Observation gave him an edge against his daughter.
Even Xiao Xiyue couldn’t help but feel astonished.
Being one of the Four Great Immortal Sects in the Jiang Kingdom, Azure Cloud Sect had many opportunities for sparring.
But the matches between her daughter and Lu Lingxiao far surpassed any she had seen in the sect.
Even when she had just entered Foundation Establishment, she couldn’t say she could beat either of them.
Meanwhile, Lu Linghe was simply amazed at how much stronger her brother had become.
He had always lost to her sister before.
“Thousand Fathoms of Water Bring Down the Vast Torrents!”
“Endless Burning Flame!”
“Golden Lotus Sown in the Water and Fire Realm!”
Lu Wangshu chanted solemnly, her hands forming complex gestures.
Her Qi Sea Dantian resonated with the Xuan Yuan Pearl, and her spiritual energy surged forth like rivers.
Feeling her self-drawn talismans weren’t enough, she even threw out a stack of pre-made ones from her Storage Bag to stabilize the situation.
“Boom, boom, boom—”
Lu Lingxiao wielded the Golden Flame Vine Tree, sweeping away all attacks, causing the formation to tremble, its light dimming.
At this moment, his eyes shone with a mysterious power, as if resonating with the heavens.
“Buzz!!!”
Lu Wangshu felt her formation freeze at that moment, its operation slowing, its energy chaotic, nearly breaking under Lu Lingxiao’s attack.
“What is this technique!?”
Lu Wangshu was shocked, her usually serene face slightly startled.
If it weren’t for her Blood Talisman Spirit Body adding strength to her talismans, she was sure the formation would’ve already collapsed.
“Sister Wangshu, you should go all out.”
Lu Lingxiao’s eyes were vast as if holding the cosmos, deep and unfathomable.
While he could exploit the Heavenly Son’s Art of Qi Observation to harshly defeat Lu Wangshu.
They were siblings, not enemies, so there was no reason to go that far.
Besides, relying solely on the Law Seed to show off was not something he wanted, or could bring himself to do.
“It seems I’ll have to show some real strength today.”
Lu Wangshu sighed lightly, her delicate and beautiful face showing a faint smile.
Lu Changsheng prepared to intervene if necessary, to prevent his daughter from using Second-Tier high-level talismans.
While powerful, Lu Lingxiao still had his limits.
If his daughter added a few Second-Tier high-level talismans to the formation, Lu Lingxiao would be unable to withstand it.
Ling Zixiao and Xiao Xiyue also looked serious, worried they might lose control of the situation.
However, Lu Wangshu’s next move surprised everyone.
Four Second-Tier puppets appeared.
“Buzzing—”
Lu Wangshu formed seals, and the puppets roared to life like war machines, radiating a powerful aura, pressing down on Lu Lingxiao.
“Puppet Battle Formation!?”
“Little Four Symbol Battle Formation!”
“Wangshu’s Divine Sense…”
Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao recognized Lu Wangshu’s method as those from the True Lord Tianyuan’s puppet inheritance.
This puppet inheritance was comprehensive.
It included not only various puppetry techniques and crafting methods but also battle formations, like those used by cultivators, applying them to puppets.
These formations enhanced the puppets’ strength significantly.
However, they didn’t know when Lu Wangshu had mastered this puppet formation.
And most surprising was that while casting the Talisman Formation, Lu Wangshu could still control the Puppet Battle Formation!
It was known that a Foundation Establishment cultivator could control at most three Second-Tier puppets at once.
But Lu Wangshu…
Even though Lu Wangshu’s Divine Sense had already reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, such techniques were still incredibly astonishing.
This not only consumed a lot of Divine Sense, but it also demanded extremely high levels of control, requiring the ability to multitask and manage everything with precision!
“Lu Lingxiao, come!”
Lu Wangshu spoke, as Spiritual Energy surged wildly, sketching out talismans that bombarded Lu Lingxiao through the Talisman Formation.
The four puppets formed a battle formation, guarding in front of her and using their power to suppress Lu Lingxiao.
Among these four puppets, one was from Lu Changsheng and was a second-tier top-grade puppet, while the other three were bought by Lu Wangshu and were second-tier low-grade puppets.
The power of the puppets after forming a battle formation was equivalent to directly affecting a Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
“Boom boom boom——”
Under this dual onslaught, even though Lu Lingxiao was powerful and domineering, for the moment he couldn’t break through the encirclement.
And just as he tried to advance a bit, the archer puppet among the four shot a sharp arrow at him.
“Alright, that’s enough. If you continue like this, neither of you will be able to win, so let’s call this match a draw.”
Lu Changsheng saw this and spoke up, noticing that his daughter was also struggling a bit.
If they continued, they would both end up severely injured.
He immediately raised his hand, and Spiritual Energy at the Golden Core Formation level surged, dissolving both of their attacks.
“Phew.”
Lu Lingxiao exhaled deeply, and the dark golden flames around his body dissipated as his Spiritual Energy’s flow became erratic.
Although he could break through his sister’s Talisman Formation and even dismantle it, the other party had too many external means.
If he were to go all out, he wouldn’t stand a chance.
However, if it were a life-or-death battle in the wild, that would be a different story.
Lu Wangshu gracefully descended and snorted softly at Lu Changsheng.
“Wangshu, when did you learn the puppet battle formation?”
Lu Changsheng, pretending not to notice his daughter’s little temper, smiled lovingly.
“This battle formation has a lot in common with the Talisman Formation. Just a little bit of study and I was able to learn it.”
Lu Wangshu pouted slightly, her voice carrying a hint of her temper.
“Tsk.”
Hearing this, Lu Changsheng glanced at Xiao Xiyue and Ling Zixiao, all of whom shook their heads in amazement.
His daughter’s comprehension was simply off the charts.
Lu Changsheng had always believed that if his daughter wasn’t so easily distracted, she could make even greater progress in Talisman Making, perhaps even attempting to reach the third-tier Talisman Master level during the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
But that was something that couldn’t be forced.
The fact that Lu Wangshu could focus mainly on Talisman Making and had progressed this much was already enough.
“Hehe, since you’re interested in battle formations, I’ll have the family forge a few more puppets for you later.”
Lu Changsheng said in a doting tone.
Puppet battle formations are incredibly suitable for positional warfare and are a perfect match when combined with Talisman Formations!
He then looked at Lu Lingxiao and said, “Xiaoyao, your performance just now was very good. However, when you’re outside, you should restrain yourself when using such techniques. Later, your master and I will customize an Artifact for you to conceal it a bit.”
Lu Lingxiao’s method of fighting just now was too extraordinary. Anyone watching would notice something was off.
Although it wasn’t a major issue, Lu Changsheng thought it would be better to keep a lower profile.
Otherwise, he might easily attract the attention of high-level cultivators.
“Yes, Father.”
Lu Lingxiao cupped his hands and responded.
“Lingxiao, what method did you use to disrupt my Talisman Formation just now?”
Lu Wangshu asked Lu Lingxiao.
During their exchange, the most shocking thing for her was when Lu Lingxiao suddenly interfered with her Talisman Formation.
Encountering such a situation in a life-or-death battle would be incredibly dangerous.
“This is a Divine Ability I passed down to Xiaoyao called the ‘Heavenly Son’s Vision.’ It allows him to see the flaws in spells and techniques, observe the flow of Spiritual Energy, and even disrupt the flow of spiritual energy.”
“Your Talisman Formation was too hasty at the time, and Xiaoyao was able to perceive the flaws and disrupt the flow of Spiritual Energy.”
Lu Changsheng glanced at his son and explained.
With the Fiery-Eyes Divine Ability, even without using it just now, he could clearly see everything that had happened.
“Divine Ability!?”
Lu Wangshu was astonished.
After all, only those who reached Golden Core Formation could master Divine Abilities.
It was incredible that Lu Lingxiao had actually obtained a Divine Ability!
However, with Ling Zixiao standing nearby, she didn’t dare to ask too much and simply lifted her chin and hummed softly.
“Alright, it was just a spar between siblings.”
“Although the fight ended in a draw, you both performed exceptionally well. I’m very pleased. I’ll prepare a reward for each of you later.”
Lu Changsheng rubbed his daughter’s silky hair and patted his son’s shoulder, smiling warmly.
Then, he looked at the obedient and cute Lu Linghe nearby and smiled, saying, “Our little He also gets one.”
“Dad already promised to make me something delicious in a few days, so I don’t need anything else.”
Lu Linghe replied in a crisp voice, showing no trace of greed.
“Hehe.”
Lu Changsheng patted her little head and then took her by the hand, returning to the Lu Family Mansion with his wife and children.
“You’ve both expended quite a bit of energy. Go back and rest well.”
Lu Changsheng said to Lu Wangshu and Lu Lingxiao.
“Got it.”
“Yes, Father.”
The two exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat like they were still unwilling to accept the result.
“Sigh.”
Seeing the two of them like this, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but shake his head and smile.
“Just as you said, my lord, Wangshu and Lingxiao will push each other further and further.”
Ling Zixiao said with a gentle smile.
Although the match ended in a draw, she felt that her son had actually won.
If it weren’t for Lu Lingxiao stopping a few times to give Lu Wangshu time to prepare, she wouldn’t have been able to withstand his assaults.
“Hmm.”
Xiao Xiyue pursed her lips and smiled.
Her daughter had extraordinary talent, but she loved to play a bit too much.
Having a younger brother applying pressure would indeed help push her forward.
Besides, while they might bicker and fight, they clearly held back when it mattered.
