Chapter 135: My Father Is The Dragon-like Arrogant Protagonist, My Mother Is The Phoenix-like Arrogant Protagonist
Upon hearing this, Ming Zhaoshuang said, “You’ll take my surname. Will your parents be angry?”
Aren’t children usually supposed to take their parents’ surnames? I feel a bit embarrassed about taking hers.
Ming Zhaoxue said, “They’ve been dead for tens of thousands of years. They can’t control me.”
Ming Zhaoshuang touched her nose and suddenly felt that Fushuang in her hand was a bit hot. She didn’t know why, but Ming Zhaoxue’s statement gave her the same feeling as when Xiao Bai casually said that his father had died.
Speaking of which, Xiao Bai and Xiao Bai Bai have very similar names.
No, no, Xiao Bai Bai isn’t really Ming Zhaoxue’s name; it can only be considered a codename.
Anyway, Ming Zhaoxue gives Ming Zhaoshuang the exact same feeling as Xiao Bai.
If Xiao Bai wasn’t still in slumber, Ming Zhaoshuang would really want to ask him if he knew Ming Zhaoxue.
Ming Zhaoshuang continued to ask, “Then what are your parents’ names?”
She felt truly apprehensive about him taking her surname, always feeling like she was letting down his parents, who had worked so hard to raise their child only for him to run off with someone else.
Ming Zhaoxue smiled faintly, extremely composed:
“My father’s name is Ao Tian, and my mother’s name is Feng He.”
Ming Zhaoshuang was stunned.
How could she not recognize these simple names?
Finally, she roared towards Ming Zhaoxue, “Your father is the Dragon King Ao Tian, and your mother is Saint Feng He!”
No, she had long suspected that Ming Zhaoxue was no simple person, that he was the ultimate boss among bosses, the great expert among great experts, but she didn’t expect him to be *this* much of a boss, *this* much of a great expert.
Saying this, what’s the difference between this and saying, “My dad is Li Gang!”
Ming Zhaoxue nodded, and Ming Zhaoshuang collapsed.
She asked again, “Is your father really Ao Tian? The last ascender from tens of thousands of years ago? Is your mother really Feng He? The Feng He who led the cultivation world with her style for tens of thousands of years?”
He chuckled, “Is this really that surprising?”
He now has the cultivation level of Immortal Crossing. He shouldn’t be disgracing these two great experts, right?
Ming Zhaoshuang said, “Isn’t this surprising! Your parents, one a Dragon-like Arrogant Protagonist, the other a Phoenix-like Arrogant Protagonist, can be called the strongest background board in the cultivation world!”
Ming Zhaoshuang felt that if Feng He or Ao Tian knew that Ming Zhaoxue was taking her surname, their coffins might not be able to hold them down.
These two are so powerful; just mentioning either one would be incredibly impressive, yet Ming Zhaoxue chose to take her surname?
Not taking his parents’ surname?
Ming Zhaoxue heard this and nodded slightly, his snow-white hair falling from his shoulders as he seemed to ponder.
He said, “Actually, their names were also chosen by themselves. Ao Tian doesn’t have the surname Ao, and Feng He doesn’t have the surname Feng. They each chose a path for themselves.”
Ao Tian was the Heavenly Dao’s chosen first successor. He did not follow heaven, nor conform to heaven, nor be controlled by heaven.
Feng He was an existence that was not recognized by others, yet she insisted on being the Feng He who conformed to destiny, or even the Feng He who changed destiny.
He continued, “And although they were both indeed powerful, they can’t really be considered the strongest background board. After all, almost everyone they knew is already dead.”
If you think about it carefully, Feng He Du Xian has been dead for tens of thousands of years.
Those who were contemporaries and interacted with her have either died or become Old Ancestors who have retreated from the world and do not emerge from their sects.
For example, the Five Sages have all turned to dust.
So, although Ming Zhaoxue’s background is impressive, it’s already a thing of the past.
Ming Zhaoshuang thought about it carefully, and it was indeed true.
Although Ming Zhaoxue had extremely powerful parents, those two were too busy fighting the Heavenly Dao to even have time to name Ming Zhaoxue, and they didn’t get to use the connections they had prepared for him.
For Ming Zhaoxue, it was almost as if he didn’t have these parents.
Seeing the pity in her eyes, Ming Zhaoxue shook his head and smiled, “There’s no use talking more about them. Let’s focus on learning sword techniques first.”
Ming Zhaoshuang just then remembered the main task and cursed herself inwardly.
She came here to learn swordsmanship, not to chat. How could she have almost forgotten the main task after chatting with Ming Zhaoxue for a couple of sentences?
The next day, she woke up at dusk.
The setting sun, with its warm afterglow, gently sprinkled upon the snow in the mountains, leaving behind a trail of flowing light.
Ming Zhaoshuang raised her hand and found that her cultivation within her body had significantly increased.
What is this?
The previous two times Ming Zhaoxue taught her sword practice, although her spiritual power had improved, it wasn’t as noticeable. It was more about progress in sword techniques.
But looking at the current situation, her cultivation today had at least tripled compared to usual!
Ming Zhaoshuang lowered her eyes and looked at the Spirit Gathering Formation beneath her feet, instantly understanding.
The Spirit Gathering Formation can gather sparse spiritual power to a single point, and she was at the center of this spiritual power, naturally acquiring more spiritual power than usual.
It seemed that although the Spirit Gathering Formation took up most of the night, the benefits were considerable.
If she could cultivate within the Spirit Gathering Formation every time, she couldn’t even imagine how fast her cultivation speed would be!
It’s just a pity that although the Spirit Gathering Formation can make her cultivation twice as effective, the formation itself is quite complex and takes up most of her night.
And she can’t stay in one place for an extended period, so it might not be worth the effort to draw it out.
Unless this formation could be carried with her at all times, allowing her to utilize it anytime and anywhere.
Speaking of which, there are two categories of Talisman Masters: Talisman Masters and Formation Masters.
Although both originate from the same school, Talisman Masters are actually much more popular than Formation Masters. Most Talisman Masters primarily cultivate the way of talismans, not formations.
After all, Formation Masters also have a saying: “Cannot be used for major matters, and is not useful for minor matters.”
When Formation Masters set up formations, they always need to observe the feng shui and landscape in advance, utilizing the timing and geography, which often takes tens of times longer than for Talisman Masters.
This leads to Formation Masters needing others to buy them time when facing major events, and it’s somewhat of an overkill when facing minor matters.
Furthermore, formations consume a lot of soul power. In the cultivation world where soul power cultivation is not very prevalent, Formation Masters often lack enough soul power to complete several formations consecutively.
Therefore, compared to Talisman Masters, who can be carried with them and prepared at any time, Formation Masters are truly not very popular.
Just like the Spirit Gathering Formation this time, it’s useful, but it can’t be taken away directly.
Why can’t it be taken away directly?
Ming Zhaoshuang looked at the formation and suddenly had an idea. Several pieces of paper appeared in her hand.
She spread these pieces of paper out, covering the white snow in the mountains until they were the same size as the Spirit Gathering Formation.
Formations and talismans are of the same origin; talismans are the smallest formations, and formations are the largest talismans.
Talismans can be drawn on paper and carried around, so formations should be able to as well!
Ming Zhaoshuang thought, her brushstroke did not stop, but as she was drawing the formation halfway, her finger stiffened, her mind went blank, and she felt weak.
Truly, her soul power was running low again.
Why is it so quickly depleted?
Ming Zhaoshuang gave a wry smile, thinking that she probably needed to put more effort into practicing soul power, to increase its capacity first.
With that, she simply sat down, planning to replenish her soul power first.
