Although her true qi was far stronger than Chad Brooks's, she was, after all, still young and somewhat lacking in experience.

Therefore, when she inspected the spirit patterns earlier, she only discovered five breakpoints that had not yet been smoothed out, while the five that had already been smoothed over were overlooked by her.

This was not due to carelessness, but truly because of her lack of experience.

Before this, although she knew of this technique, unfortunately, she herself had never seen a finished product that used it, so it was understandable that she missed it.

However, after receiving Chad Brooks's reminder, she immediately noticed that subtle difference in the spirit pattern.

Letting her true qi carefully sweep back and forth, the shock in her heart was truly beyond words.

There really were breakpoints here, but now they had already been erased. No matter how her true qi flowed, she could not sense the slightest obstruction.

This...

How could it be possible?

After a long while, she lifted her head and stared fixedly at the slightly youthful face before her. Her gaze was no longer that of looking at a person, but as if she were looking at a monster from the ancient primordial wilderness.

Chad Brooks drew in a sharp breath, inexplicably feeling a chill run through him.

“Miss Sullivan, are you alright?” he asked cautiously, testing the waters.

Yvonne Sullivan clenched her fists tightly, and only after a moment did she relax, saying, “Did you do this?”

“Yes.”

“Good. Finish the rest, smooth out the other five breakpoints as well. I’ll come see you again tomorrow.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she leapt back like a flash and disappeared into the forest.

Chad Brooks reached out his hand, but still did not call out.

At this moment, he vaguely sensed that something was off—Yvonne Sullivan's expression was just too strange.

He was somewhat suspicious in his heart. Could there be some flaw in this technique?

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head. Regardless of whether there was some trick to this technique, as long as it worked, that was enough.

He glanced in the direction the girl had left.

Tomorrow,

It’s really something to look forward to!

Chapter 008: Reprimand

“Monster, freak, what the hell…”

In the forest, a graceful figure was darting forward like the wind. Her movements were agile and ever-changing; neither the rugged path nor the trees blocking her way could slow her down in the slightest.

However, on her face was a trace of indignation that she simply could not hide.

The blow dealt to her by that boy’s existence was simply too great. Always regarded as a favored child of heaven, this was the first time she had been defeated by someone in such a manner, and she found it hard to accept.

Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks, stomped her foot heavily, and pouted, “Hmph, I just don’t believe I can’t surpass you…”

A fierce fighting spirit ignited in her heart, and the light in her eyes became unwavering.

With a flash, she dashed forward again, her speed even faster than before.

Half an hour later, she arrived at a quiet village and went straight into the largest courtyard in the village.

Amidst a clatter of noise, she entered the storeroom and took out more than a dozen finished weapons.

These weapons were of all shapes and sizes, a wide variety, but they all had one thing in common: the quality of each weapon was quite excellent, not inferior in the slightest to the one in Chad Brooks's hand.

She casually picked up a longsword, and with a twist of her wrist, a short needle appeared in her hand.

A spirit-inscribing needle.

However, the spirit-inscribing needle in her hand was clearly different; the tip emitted a faint yellowish glow, giving it an air of solemnity and gravity.

With a casual downward stroke, the moment the needle tip touched the longsword, a white flash instantly appeared. Yet, within that sliver of white light was a barely noticeable hint of pale yellow.

Her movements were as smooth as flowing water, completed in one go. In the short time it takes to burn an incense stick, when she put down the longsword, all the spirit patterns had already been completed.

If Chad Brooks or David Brooks had seen this scene, they would have been so shocked their eyes would have popped out.

This delicate young girl had actually reached such a level of mastery in spirit patterns that even David Brooks himself could hardly compare.

Moreover, to complete the spirit pattern so smoothly, she must possess strength to match.

At such a young age, to have such terrifying power—no one knew how she had managed to cultivate it.

However, when Yvonne Sullivan put away the short needle, a trace of annoyance flashed across her pretty face. Shaking her head, she picked up another weapon and began inscribing it bit by bit.

This time, although her movements were still light and forceful, she did not complete it in one go, but deliberately controlled her speed and stopped halfway.

After a moment, she picked up the spirit-inscribing needle again and resumed at the breakpoint.
