Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 146: Don't Mention My Name

Su Ming's spirits lifted, and he immediately focused his divine sense into the jade slip, firmly imprinting the rune for "Control" in his mind—a structure several times more complex than the rune for "Gather".

Following his previous successful experience, he first deconstructed it in his mind.

This character "Defend" had a square, upright form with a closed structure, resembling a shield.

He extended his finger, channeled that strand of docile spiritual energy, and confidently began tracing it on the ground.

This rune for "Control" had a square, upright form with a closed structure, resembling a shield.

The second stroke turned smoothly.

However, when he reached the third stroke, which required guiding the spiritual energy outward to construct a closed framework, a problem arose.

That strand of spiritual energy, accustomed to the introverted, spiraling nature of the character "Gather," was completely unaccustomed to this outward-expanding method of guidance.

It suddenly stalled.

"Pop."A soft sound. The spiritual energy snapped at the turning point, and the two strokes that had just taken shape instantly dissipated.

Su Ming was stunned.

Refusing to believe it, he tried again.

"Pop."

He attempted to slow down, guiding it with extreme care.

The spiritual energy passed through, but the entire runic framework became soft and limp, utterly lacking any sense of "defense." Its glow flickered and died.

It simply couldn't take shape.

After over a dozen consecutive failures, fine beads of sweat appeared on Su Ming's forehead.

He realized he was wrong.

Terribly wrong.

The experience gained from mastering the character "Gather" was almost entirely useless when faced with the character "Defend."

"Master..." he began, somewhat dejected.

"How does it feel?" Lin Yu's voice held no emotion.

"Disciple... feels this 'Defend' character rune is completely different from the 'Gather' character. The way the spiritual energy moves is entirely opposite."

"Oh? How is it opposite?"

"The character 'Gather' attracts and compresses external spiritual energy inward. But this character 'Defend'... seems... seems to require using one's own spiritual energy to construct a barrier outward. It emphasizes a sense of 'propping up.'"

"Correct. Continue."

"No matter how I guide it, disciple cannot form a stable 'surface' with the spiritual energy. It always disperses."

"Superficial."
