Free Web NovelChapter 1634: Chapter 988: The Difference Between a Rare Talent and a Genius
Mu Yunye is inherently arrogant but never recklessly boastful. He is fully aware of his own excellence and understands what can be done and what cannot.
The Mechanical Technique of Shifang City is renowned across the world, and it indeed involves injecting talismanic power into the Puppet’s core furnace.
However, the process is far from simply using spiritual power to engrave Spirit Talismans into arrays.
It requires the assistance of talismanic pens to carve array circuits, guiding the spiritual power inch by inch deep into the heart of the furnace to complete the Spirit Path instructions for controlling the Puppet.
Yet, accomplishing this is talk of the impossible without centuries of talisman cultivation.
And injecting talismanic power into Spirit Stones is an even more fantastical notion.
In Mu Yunye’s view, she must be deliberately making things difficult, setting forth such unreasonable demands.
"Heh..." Fang Geyu sneered coldly, casually tossing the Spirit Stone in her hand.
"The world contains great beauty without speaking of it, the four seasons have laws without debating them, everything has its reasoning without explaining it, things unseen by you may still exist.
You previously claimed to be honored as a prodigy of the Immortal World, the child of the Twin Stars, all your actions, thoughts, and realizations transcend reason. If so, in the mundane world, there should be nothing you cannot do, only what you have yet to imagine."
"In my view, the most you can be termed is a genius, far short of being called a prodigy.
For a true prodigy, the moon can be fetched from under the water, and the lotus can be grown within fierce fire."
Listening to her boast so grandly, Mu Yunye found it amusing.
Yet, he was unwilling to engage with her like a child, slightly inclined his body, ready to leave.
He saw Fang Geyu casually toss the top-grade Spirit Stone in her hands up and down, at the moment it was thrown and caught again by her fair palm.
In the transparent blue center of the Spirit Stone, there appeared a fine, thread-like glow of orange-red Spirit Thread.
Within this Spirit Stone, where Spiritual Power surged like a sea, it condensed and did not disperse, floating and gathering and pulling.
Her stone-tossing motion was relaxed and carefree, showing no concentrated difficulty. In a brief moment, the Spirit Stone revealed the same ’Beiyue Talisman’ as on the white paper.
The spiritual image of ancient mountains and peaks in the small Spirit Stone was brilliantly colorful, and the vast Spiritual Power expressed pure talismanic power between the Spirit Stones.
That power, with just her little hand exerting slight pressure to activate, would release energy sufficient to suppress and flatten this entire plaza.
Mu Yunye’s body, halfway through departing, suddenly halted forcefully, his gaze in the sunlight momentarily became dark as an abyss.
The handsome face lost its color, and he stood by the car for a while, the expression on his face was indescribable.
Until a spirit light streaked over, he reached out to catch the Spirit Stone that Fang’s talismanic lines had imprinted upon.
He was silent for a moment, his lips moved slightly, and he spoke: "Third Miss indeed lives up to being the only heir of Shifang City, truly deserves her reputation. It seems I have made a fool of myself today."
Baili An had quietly observed the son of the Golden Immortal.
He had to admit, this young man had deep etiquette and steady disposition, beyond normal people. freewёbnoνel.com
Initially, he clearly intended to flaunt his academic prowess in front of Fang Geyu, yet he exuded not the slightest sense of showiness or arrogance.
On the contrary, everything he said and did appeared logical and reasonable.
When Fang Geyu effortlessly turned the impossibility he described into reality,
he also generously praised her, despite calling himself a prodigy, he was mercilessly crushed by her talents without hesitation, a truly shameful thing.
Yet there was no trace of embarrassment or unsightly appearance on his face, his attitude was exceedingly humble and politely acknowledged his deficiencies:
"Indeed, there are always higher heavens beyond the skies, more outstanding people beyond oneself. In the way of talismans, calling myself a prodigy before Third Miss Fang is indeed a bit overconfident."
Fang Geyu’s eyes, half-smiling, seemed to penetrate one’s heart: "Though you claim to be overconfident, yet deep down you still feel rebellious.
You believe I have lived in Shifang City for over ten years, the education I received, the knowledge are all related to talismanic paths.
And your exposure to talismanic knowledge is merely a matter of days. You’re convinced, even if you’re not as good as me now, it’s only temporary."
Having his thoughts exposed, Mu Yunye didn’t bother to argue, openly admitted, and with a faint smile said: "I still have a certain confidence in my abilities."
Fang Geyu had to acknowledge, such a confident and narcissistic person is truly difficult to handle.
She no longer debated anything, instead took out a Spirit Stone from the Qiankun Bag, tossing it to Baili An sitting beside her, "Some people never give up until they reach the Yellow River, don’t they."
Mu Yunye raised his brow, watching this scene, couldn’t help but laugh and say: "Is Third Miss excessively confident in herself, or overly confident in him.
If I recall correctly, Mr. Ji hails from the Taixuan Sect, a disciple of the Taixuan Nine Classics, with Wen Hanwei, Scripture Master of Taixuan Nine Classics, specializing in Sword Heart Clarity, being the unparalleled sword dao prodigy of today.
Even I must admit this, but human capabilities ultimately reach their limits. Would Mr. Ji also desire to compete with me in talismanic arts?"
"It’s not exactly a competition." Baili An imitated Fang Geyu’s prior actions with the Spirit Stone, tossing it up and down.
The center of the Spirit Stone seemed to ignite with talismanic intent, the lines and spiritual patterns circuit were clearly visible within, beautiful and delicate, resembling stellar talismanic lines wandering within.
Until the talismanic lines within the Spirit Stone intersected and combined, the strong talismanic power even affected the weather, with chaotic clouds drifting across the sky, daylight obscured, and the sky rapidly darkened.
Causing the Spirit Stone with runes within his hand to flicker unsteadily, akin to fireflies dancing.
