Chapter 69: Could This Child Be a Peerless Genius?!

“What?! You’ve already mastered everything?!”

In the office, Hong Lingyan abruptly lifted her head from the documents, staring at Ling Xiaoyou in disbelief.

She asked in shock.

“Hmm hmm hmm, that’s right! Sister Ling, I’ve already mastered it all! If you don’t believe me, look!”

Ling Xiaoyou put her hands on her hips and puffed out her small chest slightly.

In front of her, a transparent, crystalline stream of water suddenly emerged from the air, constantly changing form.

One moment it became a soaring bird, the next a swimming fish in the sea, and then it transformed into a Q-version of Ling Xiaoyou.

“This is… Xuan Yuan Water Control Technique! You can already use it to this extent so quickly?!”

Hong Lingyan was so shocked that her mouth couldn’t close.

When she learned this technique in the past, it took her at least a month just to barely manipulate water!

Not to mention transforming the water in so many ways like Ling Xiaoyou!

Looking at the smug Ling Xiaoyou, Hong Lingyan suddenly realized something.

Could it be that the child I picked up…

Is actually an unparalleled super genius?!

Hong Lingyan shivered as if she had been struck by lightning, a tingling sensation spreading all over her body.

Yes, this made sense!

No wonder this child always tried to slack off before.

It must have been because these techniques were too simple for her, so she never felt interested.

Now, because of Bai Shuanglian, she began to cultivate seriously, finally revealing her true talent!

The more Hong Lingyan thought about it, the more convinced she was that this was the truth.

She was very excited.

What could be more fulfilling than personally nurturing an unparalleled powerhouse?

Hong Lingyan felt there was nothing.

Besides, she had wanted Xiaoyou to shine brightly at the Xuantian Martial Tournament, to show the Bai Family how outstanding her own child was.

Back then, she wasn’t very confident.

But now, what was she even worried about!

Ha! This is solid!

It looks like I can even intensify the training more, and for this child, it probably wouldn’t be a problem!

Ling Xiaoyou had no idea what Hong Lingyan was thinking.

If she knew, she would surely look at her with a dumbfounded expression.

No, wasn’t she just showing off a new technique she had just learned?

How did Sister Ling come up with so much in her imagination!

But Ling Xiaoyou didn’t know this.

She thought Hong Lingyan’s excited expression was because she was satisfied with her learning speed.

Although Hong Lingyan was indeed very satisfied, her satisfaction wasn’t quite the same as Ling Xiaoyou imagined.

Silently adding many new training items for Xiaoyou in her heart, Hong Lingyan looked at Ling Xiaoyou, cleared her throat, and said:

“Very good! Xiaoyou! You truly are a genius, you haven’t let me down.”

“Since you’ve mastered these techniques to such a degree, I should give you a reward!”

“Yay! A reward, thank you Sister Ling!”

Hearing there was a reward, Ling Xiaoyou naturally wouldn’t refuse.

She cheered and was very happy.

“I see you still don’t have a Spirit Tool of your own, right, Xiaoyou?”

As she spoke, Hong Lingyan gestured toward Ling Xiaoyou’s small hand.

“So I plan to give you a handy Spirit Tool. What style do you want to choose?”

After speaking, Hong Lingyan added,

“It can be any kind you like, I’ll prepare it for you!”

“A Spirit Tool, huh.”

Ling Xiaoyou stopped cheering, thoughtfully pinching her small chin.

This really did stump her for a moment.

It wasn’t that she didn’t need a Spirit Tool.

Spirit Tools were like equipment for characters in games.

Anyone who has played a game knows that to train a character well, equipment is essential!

But what kind of Spirit Tool did she need?

Ling Xiaoyou suddenly felt paralyzed by choice, not knowing what kind of Spirit Tool to pick, since she had never considered this before.

“Sister Ling, do you have any recommendations for Spirit Tools?”

Ling Xiaoyou looked at Hong Lingyan, wanting to hear her opinion.

“My recommendation, hmm.”

Hong Lingyan thought for a moment, then said,

“I recommend you use a Spirit Tool suitable for your water attribute techniques. That way, you can maximize your innate abilities and greatly enhance your combat power.”

Ling Xiaoyou nodded her little head thoughtfully, agreeing with Hong Lingyan’s words, but she was still unsure.

“Then what shape should I choose for the Spirit Tool?”

“That depends on your personal preference. But whatever kind of Spirit Tool you want, I’ll get it for you. At worst, I’ll have one custom-made for you!”

Ling Xiaoyou nodded in understanding, thanked Hong Lingyan, and then began to consider what kind of Spirit Tool to choose.

Should she use a Knife?

Ling Xiaoyou crossed her arms and pouted, thinking hard.

In her previous life, she actually liked Knife-type weapons quite a bit.

After all, they looked cool, didn’t they?

But after thinking about it, Ling Xiaoyou rejected the idea of using a Knife.

After all, now she was just a cute, harmless little girl, and she was very aware of this.

Seriously, wouldn’t it look a bit silly for a little girl to use a Knife?

Ling Xiaoyou couldn’t say for sure, so she decided to abandon the idea for now and consider other options.

Then how about a Sword?

At that thought, Ling Xiaoyou quickly shook her little head.

That detestable Bai Shuanglian used a Sword!

She didn’t want to duplicate her Spirit Tool!

She decisively PASSED!

Knife, Spear, Sword, Halberd, Axe, Hook, Fork…

Ling Xiaoyou thought through all the weapon types she could remember, but none were very satisfactory.

Suddenly, a thought struck her.

Wait, with her small frame, why was she thinking about melee weapons at all?

If she really had to fight someone head-on with blades and swords, she’d definitely lose.

So she shouldn’t pick melee weapons!

Once she ruled out close-combat weapons, Ling Xiaoyou didn’t need to think much further to know the most suitable weapon for herself.

That was—a Bow!

She was naturally fast, so putting distance between herself and her opponent was easy.

Using a ranged weapon like this, her enemies wouldn’t even be able to get close!

And such a cute little girl using a Bow—it just sounded so beautiful and elegant.

Yes, it’s decided! Bow!

Ling Xiaoyou immediately told Hong Lingyan her decision.

The latter nodded, neither agreeing nor objecting, and simply said she would find someone to craft a good Bow and let Ling Xiaoyou practice Water Transformation for a few days first—the Bow would be ready soon.

Ling Xiaoyou naturally agreed, and returned to the training ground full of anticipation, practicing Water Transformation.

Three days later, Ling Xiaoyou finally received her exclusive Spirit Tool Bow.

But she wasn’t very happy.

At this moment, Ling Xiaoyou stared at another arrow that had missed the target and fell into deep thought.
