"Alright, do me a favor." Li Yuan stood up with a smile, then pointed at the tall faceless puppet and said, "You... use it to fight me, give it your all, I want to test something."

Tang Nian was startled for a moment. She hadn't really seen Li Yuan in action and was unaware of the Blood Saber Ancestor matter. Hesitantly, she said, "Godfather, he's very strong, I... I'm afraid I'll hurt you."

Li Yuan glanced at his strength values "635~1135" and said warmly, "Thank you for your concern, but perhaps your godfather is a bit stronger than you think."

Subsequently, Tang Nian gave a bow, said "Godfather, be careful," and then retreated slightly.

Without any visible motion to activate a mechanism, the tall faceless puppet moved as if it was following her will.

Swish...

The sword box opened instantly, revealing three swords on each side.

The tall faceless puppet held a sword in each hand, and suddenly, four more arms extended from its back, gripping the remaining swords.

Then it stepped on the ground, causing a cascade of snow to rise like a meteor crashing, stirring up waves of white fury.

Snowflakes swirled and instantly enveloped the entire courtyard.

Within that mist, a dangerous silhouette flashed down, with six beams of cold light crisscrossing to weave a web of slaughter.

Such sinister sword light would have everyone in the vicinity on high alert, even the newly entered Sixth Grade Zhao Xiantong couldn't ignore it, as this power had already reached the pinnacle of Seventh Grade.

But Li Yuan closed his eyes.

Tang Nian jumped in fright, immediately shouting, "Godfather! I can't stop it!"

The next moment, Li Yuan's body moved like paper, fluttering amidst the sword light and snowstorm.

One sword, two swords, three swords...

Each sword brushed past his side but couldn't touch him.

Not even the hem of his clothing was touched.

Tang Nian watched in astonishment.

Li Yuan also felt his current state internally.

He didn't need to think much, relying purely on intuition to dodge the danger. This terrifying intuition was brought about by the life transformation caused by Shadow Blood encircling his heart.

Prior, it was the same with General Gu Xiang; that move of City Destruction was actually avoided by him.

Tang Nian's initial worry turned into astonishment, and now it morphed into defiance. She stood silently, seemingly using her will to control the tall faceless puppet.

The puppet attacked more fiercely, yet still couldn't touch Li Yuan.

Sweat appeared on Tang Nian's forehead. She flicked her sleeves, letting six Iron Butterflies slide out.

At this moment, Li Yuan felt as though all the surrounding details were laid bare in his mind, and Tang Nian's actions were naturally within his expectation. The little girl's defiant spirit amused him a bit, so he called out, "Come."

Tang Nian bit her lip, raised her hands, and the six Iron Butterflies buzzed as they vibrated their blade-like steel wings, forming a silver thread around her hands.

"Go!"

Tang Nian shouted, and the six Iron Butterflies took flight in succession, coordinating with the six sword puppets to surround Li Yuan.

For a moment, sword light crisscrossed, and silver glowed, while Li Yuan's figure swayed back and forth, leaving the afterimage of a tumbler...

He hardly moved, just stood there.

Moments later, having played enough, Li Yuan swiped with his left hand, seizing the six butterflies, and blocked the head of the six sword puppet with his right hand.

Everything came to a standstill, and Tang Nian was panting, a small trace of disappointment on her face.

She had thought she was quite strong, yet godfather effortlessly gathered the things she took pride in as if they were toys.

Seeing Tang Nian's dejection, Li Yuan stepped forward, placed the butterflies back in her hands, and ruffled her hair, "Don't be upset. Your godfather is already a Sixth Grade, naturally, your Seventh Grade gadgets can't handle godfather."

"Understood..." Tang Nian muttered, clenching her fist somewhat unwillingly.

In fact, Old Tang eventually gave in and told Tang Nian about their enemy.

Old Tang told his daughter, "The Wen Family has an ancestor, a Sixth Grade powerhouse. Before having complete confidence, never go after them."

At this moment, Tang Nian muttered in her heart: So... is a Sixth Grade powerhouse really that strong?

If even godfather can't defeat them, how can she avenge?

After all, godfather is just a strong man in this border town...

"Godfather, I... I..." The little girl stubbornly lifted her head, her eyes glistening with tears.

Li Yuan looked into her eyes, seemingly understanding her thoughts, and thus said seriously, "Godfather is waiting for you to defeat me. If you want to try, just let me know anytime."

Tang Nian nodded heavily, her fighting spirit... reignited.

Li Yuan added, "This matter of godfather reaching the Sixth Grade is a big secret. Outwardly... godfather is just..."

He thought for a moment, somewhat dazedly saying, "Eighth Grade."

"This matter is only known to your two mothers and you. Can you keep it a secret for godfather?"

"I can!" Tang Nian felt a sense of trust, warming her heart.

...

Li Yuan finished testing his intuition, then grabbed a book to read. After flipping through it once, he found that although he hadn't achieved "unforgettable," he was pretty close.

After reading it two more times, he was able to recite the entire book verbatim.

Having done all this, Li Yuan had lunch and continued to ponder.

"Now there are only two tests left...

But both of these tests require the Ancestral Talisman."

"The Ancestral Talisman is a mysterious glyph naturally seen after the brain has been enhanced, written using one's own Shadow Blood, with two effects.

First, to ward off evil.

In the Mass Grave Ghost Realm, I saw Zhao Xiantong use the Ancestral Talisman to repel several ghost servants.

Second, to heal.

Whether it was Zhao Xiantong or General Gu Xiang, they were severely injured by my spear, but as long as the Shadow Blood Ancestral Talisman was applied to the body, the wounds would nearly heal instantly."

"But here's the problem...

Why haven't I seen the Ancestral Talisman?"
