"However, Ling Xiao, don't go soft. Ling Lan is not as weak as you think. She has already obtained your legacy," reminded Mu Shui-qing.
A strange light flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes. Ever since he had found out that his legacy had suddenly disappeared in the Central Scout Academy, he had a feeling that it was very likely that Ling Lan had obtained the legacy. However, so many things had happened this time around, leaving him with no time to ask Ling Lan. Mu Shui-qing's words had confirmed his hunch, and this made him extremely happy. His legacy had originally been prepared for Ling Lan, but he had been worried that it would be detained by the military, so he had not handed it over to Ling Lan.
In reality, his worries were real. The military had indeed not directly handed the legacy over to Ling Lan, but had instead placed it into the virtual world of the Central Scout Academy after they had been unable to decipher it, opening it up to all the scouts. They still wanted to control Ling Xiao's advancement method in their hands.
Although Ling Xiao did not know how Ling Lan had managed to fool those surveillance personnel and silently obtain his legacy right under the military's noses, this situation was what Ling Xiao had hoped to see the most. He could not help but give his daughter countless thumbs up in his heart!
"Alright, Lan'er, let's... let me see how well you've learned." Ling Xiao swallowed the words' daddy 'that had been about to come out of his mouth, forcefully changing it to' I 'instead.
Ling Xiao was still very careful. Before Ling Lan accepted his legacy, Ling Xiao did not want to make Ling Lan unhappy with his words.
Ling Lan did not answer, only performing a cold combat salute and then taking a defensive stance, instantly activating her spiritual shield.
Whether the Divine Command Sect was good or not, of course, depended on the confrontation of spiritual power. Both Ling Xiao and Ling Lan, who were also part of the Divine Command Sect, knew very well what to do with their unique fighting style.
However, when Ling Xiao activated his spiritual force, Ling Lan understood what kind of existence a god-class operator was. His spiritual force was as vast as the sea, yet thick and dense. Just by activating it slightly, Ling Lan felt as if she was a small boat in a stormy sea, struggling desperately. If she was not careful, disaster would befall her.
With this, Ling Lan understood that Ling Xiao's spiritual power was even stronger than Mu Shui-qing's. It even gave her a sense of unfathomable terror.
Ling Lan's expression became serious. Of course, the external manifestation was that Ling Lan's entire body was becoming colder and colder. The temperature of the entire space actually plummeted, bringing with it a faint trace of cold air.
"The direction of your spiritual body's mutation is actually towards the ice element!" Ling Xiao sensed this and could not help but frown. This type of mutation was actually not very suitable for mecha piloting. In other words, this spiritual mutation would not be able to increase a mecha operator's control. This way, it would be very difficult to achieve man-machine unity. For Ling Lan, it was very likely that she would not be able to touch the door of imperial operator status in the future. In other words, there was almost no hope for her to advance to imperial operator status.
Ling Lan knew that the spiritual mutation Ling Xiao was referring to was the awakening of her innate talent. She replied calmly, "The direction of the mutation is not important. Whether or not it is suitable for mecha piloting is also not important. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so few imperial operators in the Federation. I think that whether or not one can advance to the highest level still depends on luck and whether or not one works hard enough!"
"Lan 'er, mecha piloting talent is very important, but whether or not a spiritual mutation is suitable for mecha piloting is even more important. Both of them are indispensable, "said Ling Xiao with a sigh. He had seen countless mecha operators start off with the same thinking as Ling Lan, believing that as long as they worked hard, there would be hope. However, in reality, for all operators who had advanced to imperial level and above, their spiritual mutation would increase their mecha piloting abilities. In other words, there was not a single imperial operator whose spiritual mutation was unsuitable for mecha piloting in the Federation.
"Just because no one has found that path doesn't mean that path doesn't exist." Ling Lan was confident in herself. This was because Instructor Number One had said that her other awakened innate talent was the top-class innate talent Profound Insight, which was most suitable for mecha piloting. Although she did not know whether the awakening of two innate talents would bring unexpected difficulties to her mecha piloting, she believed that as long as she worked hard enough, she would not lose to the various geniuses of this world.
Of course, there was also the natural weakness of Ling Lan's body that hindered her from advancing to become a stronger operator. The physical weakness unique to girls was not so easy to make up for. However, in these 16 years, Ling Lan had trained hard in the learning space's full set of basic physical skills as well as the Qi exercises she had brought over from her previous life. Her physical abilities in all aspects were now infinitely close to those of the male students of her age who had stronger bodies. As long as she continued to train, this inherent weakness of hers would slowly be overcome, and in the end, it would not become another shortcoming in her advancement.
"Good, you're ambitious!" Ling Lan's confident and resolute words caused Ling Xiao's initial sense of disappointment to vanish once more. His heart was filled with joy, and his spirit was suddenly reinvigorated.
It was just this slight reinvigoration, but his spiritual power actually became concentrated once more. If not for the fact that Ling Lan had entered combat mode and was constantly on guard, this sudden surge of energy would probably have injured Ling Lan's spiritual body.
Even so, Ling Lan still felt her head being hit by a huge force, causing her to feel dizzy for a moment! This also allowed Ling Lan to experience what her opponent had felt when she had used her spiritual attack on him.
"Heptashield!" Ling Lan chanted silently in her heart. Her fingers trembled slightly, and her spiritual power suddenly transformed rapidly. In an instant, three spiritual shields, each about one square meter in size, appeared.
Heptashield, as the name implied, was a top-level technique of the Divine Command Sect that consisted of seven shields. It rapidly split the user's spiritual power into seven parts, each of which formed a shield array. The defensive power it produced was not something that the total number of shields could compare to. Instead, it made use of the shield's nimble movements to provide a full-body defence without any blind spots. In the end, the shield array could even attack at the same time. Of course, Ling Lan had not learned that yet, so of the seven shields, she could only control three.
Seeing this, Ling Xiao's smile deepened. "Not bad, I didn't expect you to have mastered a top-level technique!" The first top-level technique he had mastered had also been the heptashield. However, at that time, he had already been 18 years old, while Ling Lan had only been 16 years old, two years earlier than him. This proved that in terms of spiritual power, his daughter's talent had already reached a monstrous level …
At this moment, Ling Xiao did not know that Ling Lan's immense spiritual power was due to the accumulation of spiritual power in her two lives. It was not due to her true talent, but all this was no longer important, because Ling Lan's current spiritual power had indeed surpassed her peers by far, far too much.
"Let me test out the defensive capabilities of your heptashield." Ling Xiao reminded, and then a powerful force surged towards Ling Lan. Ling Lan knew that this was one of the most basic offensive techniques of spiritual power. As long as one had spiritual power training, they could basically learn this spiritual attack!
However, a god-class operator's spiritual attack was not the same as an ordinary person's spiritual attack. Although Ling Lan had only sensed a sliver of the opponent's spiritual attack, Ling Lan felt a strong sense of danger approaching.
Ling Lan's brow furrowed. The fingers of her right hand tapped lightly, and the three shields that had been protecting her body moved directly into the path of Ling Xiao's attack. Ling Lan believed in her own sense of danger. This should be a hint from her innate talent Profound Insight. Ling Xiao's attack this time looked ordinary, but it was most likely hiding some kind of secret.
Ling Xiao's spiritual attack struck the first shield. The shield did not resist at all, shattering at the first touch. Ling Lan's expression did not change at this, and she directed the second shield to meet the attack. Similarly, the second shield shattered very quickly, but the second shield held out for two to three seconds, not shattering immediately like the first.
Ling Lan did not hesitate to use the third shield to meet Ling Xiao's spiritual attack. However, at the moment they came into contact with the opponent's spiritual attack, the spiritual shield shrank instantly, turning into a small mirror-like shield the size of a palm in the blink of an eye.
"Boom!" Ling Xiao's spiritual attack collided soundlessly with Ling Lan's tiny mirror-like shield. If not for the fact that Ling Xiao and Ling Lan had suddenly shot out of the rubble and fallen leaves on the ground, no one would have known that these two people standing face to face were engaged in the most dangerous of spiritual confrontations.
Watching the battle, Mu Shui-qing tilted his head slightly, dodging a piece of rubble flying towards him. The smile on his face grew wider and wider, like a large Persian chrysanthemum in full bloom, as radiant as it could be.
Mu Shui-qing was of course satisfied. In his life, he had only taken in two disciples. Ling Xiao, needless to say, was definitely the disciple he was most proud of, and was now the strongest in the Federation, a god-class operator known as the ultimate weapon in this world. And Ling Lan … Mu Shui-qing had always felt that their Divine Command Sect existed for the sake of this peerless aberrant Ling Lan. Mu Shui-qing believed that the Divine Command Sect would definitely flourish in her hands.
At this time, Mu Shui-qing could not help but look at Ling Xiao, thinking to himself, Ling Xiao, oh Ling Xiao, I'll let you witness the power of Ling Lan's heptashield!
The moment Ling Xiao's spiritual attack came into contact with Ling Lan's third mirror-like shield, he felt his own spiritual attack being bounced back by a strong rebounding force!
And this rebounding spiritual attack actually caused him to lose control in an instant, actually becoming the opponent's power to attack him!
"Heptashield!" Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow in surprise. With a light flick of his finger, seven shields appeared around him. With a thought, one of the shields went up to meet the rebounding spiritual attack head-on.
"This heptashield is different from mine …" Who was Ling Xiao? With one glance, he could tell that Ling Lan's heptashield was different from his. His seven shields only had the function of blocking, but did not have the ability to reflect spiritual attacks.
"Is it because of the condensation?" Ling Xiao flicked his finger lightly, and one of the shields quickly shrunk to the size of a palm. However, the back of the shield was thicker by several times and did not have that kind of mirror-like surface. "Looks like this is not the only reason!"
Although Ling Lan had managed to reflect Ling Xiao's spiritual attack, she was still unable to steady herself. She could not help but stumble back five or six steps, and only then did she manage to completely dissipate the power of Ling Xiao's spiritual attack. Even so, she still felt nauseous. Ling Xiao's strength was really too strong — she had barely been able to withstand this attack.
