Wait, She Had an Epiphany Just from Watching Me Play a Game?

The flying sword was incredibly fast.

Before long, Li Moran appeared above Lingxiao Plaza.

At a glance, she spotted Zhong Yi and Mu Yawen nearby. Zhong Yi's brows were tightly furrowed.

"Why has Senior Brother Zhong stopped talking? Is there something wrong with Junior Brother Lu?"

Mu Yawen curiously patted Zhong Yi on the back.

"Something wrong... There's something very wrong!"

Zhong Yi's fists clenched involuntarily.

Mu Yawen was puzzled. "What's wrong?"

"Junior Brother Lu... Why isn't his layout neat at all...?!"

"He could clearly arrange them symmetrically, so why did he put them like this... It's irritating to look at!!!"

"Damn it, that brat definitely heard me!! Why did he deliberately dig one up... Those were your only four neatly arranged Sunflowers!!!"

"Put it back!!"

Zhong Yi waved his fists excitedly.

Meanwhile, Lu Ze was secretly chuckling inside the Illusion Realm.

He had never expected Zhong Yi to have obsessive-compulsive disorder.

When he played games, he was rather freewheeling. He did not demand symmetry or visual appeal from his Formation.

As long as it was practical, that was enough.

Some players, like Zhong Yi, would feel uncomfortable all over if the plants in the same row were different.

With that thought, he dug up a symmetrical Doom-shroom and swapped its position with the Winter Melon in front.

Zhong Yi's cursing grew even louder outside.

By then, the level had reached stage thirty-five.

Its difficulty was already approaching that of the thousandth level and beyond from his previous life.

It might even have surpassed it.

Barbarian Zombies were no longer much of a threat. Red-Eyed Barbarian Zombies surged forth in groups, their attributes doubled in full.

Lu Ze remained calm.

The instant the Red-Eyed Barbarians raised their fists, the Ice-shrooms opened their sleeping eyes.

Heaven and earth froze.

The giants fell.

The zombies howled in unison...

The maneuver repeated over and over.

Lu Ze's timing was impeccable.

Whether it was the instantly exploding Juggling Zombies, the Flying Zombies that snuck into the backline, or the Barbarian Zombies appearing in groups—

He froze them all with precision before harvesting them.

Even when there were occasional gaps, he used disposable plants to defuse the crisis.

This required an exceptional grasp of battlefield control and timing. Otherwise, the slightest lapse could allow the Juggling Zombies to blow up a wave of the front line, or let the Flying Zombies steal away a key damage dealer.

Then the situation would spiral out of control.

In the disciples' eyes, The entire Spirit Field was like the descent of an ice god.

Crisis after crisis was swallowed by the frost that blotted out the sky...

In the air.

Li Moran watched the scene unfold.

Each time an Ice-shroom opened its eyes, waves of frosty spiritual energy battered her Spiritual Sense without pause.

Ice Soul flickered in her eyes, as though she had gained some insight.

Li Moran suddenly raised her silver Snow Sword and slowly performed several sword forms in the air.

A vast icy aura abruptly enveloped all of Lingxiao Plaza.

It formed a strange resonance with the game screen where Lu Ze was fighting intensely.

Chao Wendao was the first to notice.

With Chao Wendao's insight, he naturally understood that Plants vs. Zombies was not the fundamental reason Li Moran's Swordsmanship had broken through to perfection.

Li Moran's Nine Heavens Mystic Ice Swordplay had already been on the verge of a breakthrough.

She had merely happened upon the right opportunity.

He looked toward Li Moran in the sky, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

On one hand, the prodigy of the Spirit Cloud Sect had become even more monstrous.

On the other, it seemed that a new monster had emerged in some strange field.

Everyone was shocked by the frigid aura soaring into the heavens and looked up.

A wave of exclamations rose from the crowd.

"It's Senior Sister Li!"

"Could it be... her swordsmanship broke through??"

"Damn, could Ice-shroom have been modeled after Senior Sister Li?"

"I think Ice Peashooter looks more like her."

"Then does that mean Senior Brother Mu is Tall-Nut?"

"Senior Sister Li reached enlightenment just by watching Junior Brother Lu play Endless Mode? Such Comprehension..."

"Plants vs. Zombies can actually have this kind of effect?"

"Looks like I have no choice but to play it every day!"

"Shh... how can practicing swordsmanship be called playing?"

Within the Illusion Realm, Lu Ze was even more delighted than Li Moran.

Playing a game had actually made Li Moran reach enlightenment...

Now he absolutely had to establish that his Illusion Realm was not a game console, but a learning machine.

At the same time, the system notification finally arrived.

Righteous cultivator Li Moran gained insight from watching the host cultivate and developed admiration!
