Translator: H2dH2mr Editor: H2dH2mr Ling Lan did not forcefully suppress the stifling feeling in her heart. She slowly exhaled, and only then did she feel a little better. Although Ling Lan had taken one hit from Ling Xiao's spiritual power, she felt even more strongly that Ling Xiao's strength was bottomless. This was because Ling Xiao's spiritual attack had come so easily and effortlessly that it struck fear into people's hearts.
This was the first time Ling Lan had felt this after her encounter with Instructor Number One. It was as if she would never be able to get close to the other even if she worked hard her whole life. If not for the fact that Ling Lan had been tortured by Instructor Number Five in all sorts of perverted ways, her mind might have been weakened by this confrontation.
Watching the battle, Mu Shui-qing smiled and said, "Ling Xiao, what do you think? Ling Lan's heptashield is very powerful, isn't it? " Mu Shui-qing's tone was undoubtedly smug. Inheriting was one thing, but if there was innovation, as a master, he would undoubtedly be even more excited and satisfied. The ultimate goal of inheriting was for the pupil to surpass the master.
Even the always aberrant Ling Xiao was amazed by Ling Lan's innovation and breakthrough. The smile on his face grew even more radiant as he nodded and said, "Yes, this is too unexpected. I never thought that the heptashield could be used like this." His gaze towards Ling Lan was filled with pride. "This should be something you came up with, right? What a great idea."
The heptashield had always been a defensive technique, so it could basically be said to have no attack power. Only in the later stages, when the user was skilled in using it and was strong enough, would they be able to use the movement of the heptashield to deal a small blow to the opponent. However, this kind of attack power was nothing compared to Ling Lan's improved Reflection Shield.
Ling Xiao's praise made Ling Lan a little shy. After all, this was the result of her, Little Four, and the mentors' joint research. Ling Lan now knew that the so-called Little Four's calculations and speculations were actually the results of the mentors' research. It was just that the mentors did not want her to know that they could learn skills from the real world and conduct research and modification on them, so they let Little Four take over the title.
Ling Lan rubbed the bridge of her nose, and began to explain to Ling Xiao the ideas she and her instructors had come up with when they were modifying the technique. "Because I didn't want to passively wait for an opportunity, I thought, if I could attack while defending, wouldn't that change the situation? I was thinking about how to make the shield have the ability to attack … "
"I tried a lot, and also tried using the shield as a weapon to attack the opponent, but I found that it was impossible. Because once I attacked, it would turn into a spiritual attack mode, and the shield would crumble instantly." Ling Lan smiled faintly as she talked about her failure back then. At that time, all the mentors had looked conflicted — even Instructor Number Five could not maintain that perverted smile on his face, becoming a little crazy.
"After that, I accidentally saw a trampoline, and thought, could I turn the shield into a trampoline? While defending, it could also reflect the force of the attack? After researching for a long time, I finally figured out how to do it. As for why it's a mirror … "Ling Lan's lips curved into a mischievous smile.
Ling Lan did not explain, but simply brought out her heptashield once more. Three shields appeared before Ling Xiao, and then rapidly changed, until they all became palm-sized mirrors …
"Can all of them reflect the force of the attack?" Ling Xiao could not help but be curious.
"Attack and see," said Ling Lan, "Try to use as little power as possible." The current defensive shield was not as strong as the original heptashield — if Ling Xiao used too much power, the shield might not be effective.
Ling Xiao nodded, and casually sent out a spiritual attack. The power and pressure was definitely not as strong as before — the spiritual attack broke through the first shield, then the second, and then the third. Similarly, it met with resistance on the third shield, and in the end, the remaining power was reflected back.
"The defences of the mirrors have been greatly weakened, but not all of them have the ability to reflect attacks. Looks like the reflection isn't due to the mirrors …" Ling Xiao's attack had allowed him to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the mirrors, and he also understood that the appearance of the shield was not the most important. All of this was just what Ling Lan wanted others to see.
After the three mirror shields were destroyed, Ling Lan did not mind and once again condensed three shields in front of her. This time, the three shields did not change, and were exactly the same as Ling Xiao's heptashield.
At this moment, Ling Xiao no longer needed Ling Lan's reminder, and directly sent out a spiritual attack. Similarly, it passed through the first and second shields, but met with resistance on the third shield, and the power was once again reflected.
"The shields that can reflect attacks this time are the original ones, which means that the reflection is not based on appearance, but on internal quality. But why is the reflection always on the third shield? Can I choose freely, or is it restricted to the last shield? Or is it possible to use all three shields? "Ling Xiao received new information, but it also gave rise to countless questions.
"I can only control one of the reflective shields at the moment, because the spiritual composition of the reflective shield is different from the original heptashield. As for which shield to reflect, I can freely choose." Ling Lan said, "The reason I put it on the third shield is because Father is strong. Without the energy consumption of the first two shields, I don't have the confidence that I can successfully reflect attacks. Father should know that there is a limit to the reflective power of the improved shields. If it exceeds the limit, it will immediately collapse, and there will be no reflective effect. "
After listening to Ling Lan's explanation, Ling Xiao could not help but nod. When he heard his daughter say that he was strong, he could not help but feel a sense of satisfaction and joy in his heart. Did this mean that his daughter had uncharacteristically acknowledged him as her father? Ling Xiao's thoughts were a little too optimistic, but in reality, Ling Lan was just speaking the truth, and had no other thoughts.
"Moreover, the defensive power of the reflective shield is lower than that of the normal heptashield. Even now, I still haven't figured out a way to solve this." A trace of regret appeared on Ling Lan's face. If they could make the reflective shield's defensive power equal to the original heptashield, then their improvement could be considered a success. Right now, it was still an incomplete product.
"Ling Lan, you're still young! You still have endless time to perfect this technique. " Ling Xiao opened his mouth to say, "The creation of a new technique will definitely go through hundreds and thousands of trials and adjustments. Don't be impatient."
Don't be impatient. "Ling Lan's heart skipped a beat. That's right, when had she become so impatient? Instructor Number One and the others had clearly said before that new techniques developed must be approved in actual combat. There would definitely be countless adjustments and changes in the process. The things that were truly preserved would definitely be the result of countless trials and tribulations.
"Thank you, Father!" Even though she was still unable to call him 'Dad' so intimately, Ling Lan was not stingy with the term 'Father'.
Excitement flashed through Ling Xiao's eyes. This was a good sign — his daughter's tone was even gentler than before. Did this mean that his daughter was already willing to accept him?
Ling Xiao decided to strike while the iron was hot and take the opportunity to have a good chat with Ling Lan. Thus, he began to ask Ling Lan about the spiritual composition of the reflective shield. Ling Lan had never intended to hide anything from Ling Xiao. Hearing Ling Xiao's question, she told Ling Xiao everything she knew.
Mu Shui-qing watched as the father and daughter before him stood together, communicating about spiritual power control. That heartwarming scene made his eyes water. These past three years, he had also fantasized about how great it would be if Ling Xiao was still alive! Who would have thought that three years later, his dream would come true, allowing him to really see this scene? The heavens were really not unkind to this old man …
Time flew by quickly, and a month's time passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, the acceptance letter from the First Men's Military Academy arrived as promised.
However, on the day of the acceptance letter, the Ling family once again erupted into domestic violence. As soon as Lan Luofeng saw the acceptance letter, new hatred and old grievances rose up. She stepped on Ling Xiao right there and then, not forgetting to elbow him … because Ling Xiao was afraid of hurting Lan Luofeng, he did not dare to use his protective shield. Thus, Lan Luofeng's attack was reflected squarely on Ling Xiao's body, causing him to grimace in pain.
Not only that, Lan Luofeng did not let Ling Xiao into her bedroom that night. However, early the next morning, Ling Lan was still fortunate enough to see the scene of Ling Xiao being kicked out of her bedroom by Lan Luofeng. From that, she knew that Ling Xiao had still managed to sneak into her bedroom last night!
In contrast to Lan Luofeng's anger, the person involved, Ling Lan, was completely unaffected. Since Ling Xiao could help her deal with the testing and training that could expose her gender, what else did she have to worry about? Besides, she was still very curious about the First Men's Military Academy.
And in this one month, Ling Lan often sparred with her father, Ling Xiao. Of course, this was just putting it nicely. In reality, she was one-sidedly being abused by Ling Xiao in all sorts of ways. When they sparred, Ling Xiao did not hold back at all. This made Ling Lan miss Zilong and the other brats very much. This was because when she sparred with them, she was in the role of Ling Xiao.
However, Ling Lan's abuse ended one month later. This was because Ling Xiao was finally handcuffed back to the military from the Ling family's old mansion. This was because the military was going to hold a huge press conference for him in a week's time. At the same time, they were going to announce the official start of the 23rd Division. Just like that, Ling Xiao went from an extremely free househusband and super stay-at-home dad to the busiest general in the Federation.
Accompanying Ling Xiao to the military was the still angry Lan Luofeng. Of course, Lan Luofeng had no intention of going with Ling Xiao, but Ling Lan had directly packed her up and sent her away with Ling Xiao. Mind you, in another month's time, she would also be leaving to enroll at the First Men's Military Academy. Was she going to leave Lan Luofeng alone in the old mansion?
Besides, Ling Xiao was now the most dazzling star general in the military. He didn't lack in looks, power, or reputation. The number of people who liked Ling Xiao would definitely be frighteningly high. If Lan Luofeng continued to squabble with Ling Xiao like this, if some other woman found a chance to come in between them, wouldn't she die of regret?
Ling Lan knew very well that Lan Luofeng's mouth was hard but her heart was soft. Otherwise, in this one month's time, her dad wouldn't have been beaten out of his bedroom so often... Ling Lan didn't need to think to know what they were doing at night.
However, there were a few times when Ling Lan saw Ling Xiao rubbing his knees for some reason. This made Ling Lan suspect that her father had been punished by her mother to kneel on the circuit board of the mecha...
Ling Lan had seen that thing before. Each one of them stood erect, and they were all incredibly sturdy spikes. At this thought, Ling Lan also seemed to feel a faint pain in her knees. She couldn't help but sympathize with Ling Xiao — her mother was actually quite two-faced.
