Chapter 142 Scattering Beans to Create Soldiers, Manipulating Fate

After emerging from the space, Lang Lei's eyes were clouded with a sense of vicissitude.

He didn't know how long he had been inside, but it felt like an eternity.

Judging from the surrounding layout, he should no longer be in the place where he entered the space before.

Presumably, after his consciousness left his body, Xuanbing and Lihuo moved his body to the room, right?

However, it was also very rewarding, and the most gratifying thing is to see the results of your efforts.

Morax finally told him that he had nothing more to teach Langley.

Lang Lei needs to walk his own path from now on, honing his own fighting style in battle, rather than following in his footsteps.

That's true; if you follow a path pioneered by others, you'll never surpass the pioneer.

If you want to go further, you have to discover and create for yourself.

"Young Master, you're awake." Xuan Bing handed over a set of clothes from the side and left the room after Lang Lei nodded.

Lang Lei changed his clothes, sat on the bed for a while, and then rolled over and got out of bed.

As I stepped out of the room, Xuanbing and Lihuo were already waiting at the door.

"Young Master, is there any arrangement?" Xuan Bing asked, bowing.

"Not yet." Lang Lei waved his hand. "How long did I sleep?"

"Not long, about half a day," Xuanbing replied.

"Half a day...that's alright." Lang Lei breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young Master, Miss Alicia and the others returned not long ago. They saw you were tired and resting, so they didn't call you. They should be swimming on the other side now. Would you like to..." Xuanbing asked.

A surge of emotion welled up in Lang Lei's heart, but he quickly suppressed it.

Now is not the time to think about this!

Lang Lei, how could you have fallen so low?

"No, I have something else to do."

"Okay, I'll pass it on to the ladies," Xuan Bing nodded with a strange expression.

Lang Lei shifted his gaze from the distance back to Xuan Bing.

"Why do I have this feeling... you're hiding something from me?"

"That's impossible, young master," Xuanbing immediately denied.

"Alright..." Lang Lei didn't suspect anything, after all, Xuan Bing wouldn't do anything to harm him.

In that case, it's acceptable for the other party to have some personal secrets.

After all, family members also need their own private space.

Xuanbing looked away somewhat guiltily, while Lang Lei looked at Xuanbing with suspicion.

Only after Xuanbing finally couldn't stand Lang Lei's gaze and took her leave did Lang Lei go to wash up, still feeling suspicious.

It was only when Lang Lei was washing his face that he saw the excessively dark wash water and realized what had happened.

Something was definitely drawn on his face; the color was ink, not mud!

Furthermore, Lang Lei has a slight obsession with cleanliness, and his body has already reached a state of so-called transcendence, so it's impossible for him to be that dirty!

Lang Lei waved his hand and created a block of ice. Through the smooth surface of the ice, Lang Lei was able to see what was on his face.

"What the hell is this...?" Lang Lei was stunned for a moment.

On Lang Lei's face were the words "Heartbreaker Radish" written in large characters. In the lower right corner of his face, there was a little person making a face, which made his face look ridiculous. The words also covered up most of his dignified and imposing presence.

The font is quite elegant, conveying a sense of liveliness.

Sometimes, the saying "your handwriting reflects your personality" is quite true.

At least Lang Lei could tell at a glance that this was Alicia's doing.

Lang Lei helplessly waved his hand to remove the stains from his face. Fortunately, Alicia did not use her power to create any ink that was difficult to remove, otherwise he estimated that it would have taken him some effort.

It's clear that Alicia just wanted to cause some trouble and vent her little bit of resentment.

Lang Lei didn't pursue the matter further; he simply smiled faintly and shook his head.

……

"System, give me two advanced lottery draws."

"Ding, ten lottery draws have been used up."

The familiar scene appeared, with a golden light and a rainbow appearing, which made Lang Lei's already good mood even more excited.

Lang Lei was stunned when he opened the two cards. Could he really draw this thing?

Aren't you part of the "Tree and Sea System"?

Two cards, one colorful and one gold, were revealed.

That was the reason for Lang Lei's shock.

[Supernatural Card: Scattering Beans to Create Soldiers (Gold)]

Effect: Grants the user supernatural power: turning beans into soldiers.

Introduction: One of the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang, possessing the powerful ability to conjure soldiers by scattering beans. It can create a large number of troops in an instant, having a significant impact on the battle situation. In the absence of reinforcements or when facing an opposing army, this supernatural power can provide the host with immediate troop support. The soldiers created will completely obey the host's orders and there is no possibility of them rebelling.

Legend has it that the art of creating soldiers from beans originated from the ancient magic of "talismanic soldiers." Later, Taoist masters, through cultivating the Taoist principles of mutual generation and restraint, further developed and refined this method, making it more direct and efficient. This supernatural power originates from the infinite potential of life and the laws of creation. Practitioners, through cultivation, master this life force hidden within all things, thereby enabling them to imbue inanimate objects with life.

Note: The soldiers summoned by the host are currently only at the level of Great Soul Masters.

Unlike before, this time Lang Lei obtained a Divine Power Card, which grants him true great divine power and immense magical strength!

Although this supernatural power might consume a little more energy, is that a problem for Lang Lei? Not at all!

With excitement, Lang Lei turned his gaze to another, even more powerful colored card, and another supernatural card came into view.

[Supernatural Card: Manipulating Creation (Colorful)]

Effect: Grants supernatural powers upon use: the ability to manipulate creation.

Introduction: One of the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang.

The power of creation can be harnessed by adjusting and altering the mysteries and enigmas of the universe, achieving creation and transformation from nothing to something, from death to life. It can not only create matter, but also alter its properties, and even create new life forms.

Although the introduction is much shorter than that of "Scattering Beans to Create Soldiers," it is not difficult to see from the quality that although "Scattering Beans to Create Soldiers" and "Merging Creation" are both part of the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang, the difference is indeed quite significant.

It can be said that the fact that the former and the latter can be put together is entirely due to various coincidences.

In Lang Lei's mind, the manipulation of creation is usually associated with a creator god or maker. For example, in the mythology of a certain civilization, the goddess Nuwa created humankind through the power of manipulation of creation. This supernatural power is considered one of the highest magical powers in Taoism because it involves the mysteries and enigmas of the universe and nature, as well as the most supreme power.

Of course, since supernatural powers are also a type of "skill," it depends on who uses them, but this also demonstrates the power of the supernatural power.

"System, immediately use two supernatural power cards!"

"Ding, used."
