[Micro Control]

Looking at the ordinary-looking brush in front of him, Lu Xun never imagined that it would have a level, and it was as high as level 20.

The basic information stated that Teacher had used this brush to draw talismans many times, and over time, it had given birth to a "spirit."

Brush spirits are relatively rare, but when it comes to sword spirits, everyone can understand it more easily.

Since it has a spirit, it is equivalent to having spirituality, like a low-level life. It is easy to understand that it has a level.

It's just that generally only purple equipment has a chance to generate a [Spirit]. This is just a very ordinary brush, and it probably didn't cost much when it was bought.

To be precise, this brush was a free gift from the small shop when Teacher bought the inkstone...

For a moment, Lu Xun became even more curious about his master.

He stretched out his right hand and tried to pick up the brush.

The brush was very light, not as difficult to hold as he had imagined. It seemed like an ordinary, cheap brush.

But the moment it touched the ink, Lu Xun's right hand holding the brush began to tremble uncontrollably!

As soon as it touched the ink, it became heavy!

"What a joke, can't my Qilin Arm handle a brush?" Lu Xun began to try to mobilize the few spiritual powers in his body.

He wasn't worried about Ji Li's trial results now. This silly girl was born with divine strength and was very strong. She should perform well in this trial.

When the spiritual energy circulated, Lu Xun felt a little better.

Although it still felt a bit hard, he had to pretend to be calm and collected!

He now had the burden of being an idol, striving to become the only male idol in the Demon Sect and even the Tian Chen Continent, promoting fan culture in the cultivation world, and performing well in front of a group of tools to make them his fans, so as to harvest prestige points!

Harvesting leeks is the most enjoyable thing.

The disciples watching from behind saw Lu Xun's right hand trembling but his face calm, it could be said that his expression did not change, and they couldn't help but admire him.

They only felt that Little Martial Grand-Aunt's perseverance was undoubtedly revealed!

Even Shen Yan and the Peak Lords, who were drinking tea and eating melons on Evergreen Peak, smiled and felt that Little Martial Grand-Aunt's temperament was indeed good.

After all, he was a ruthless person who dared to jump off Reception Peak.

It doesn't matter if a person is a little weak, but they must learn to persevere.

Of course, they must persevere. If they give up after a while, they will lose twice as much face.

Fortunately, dipping the brush in ink was only the first step. The key was to write and draw on the Talisman Paper with this brush!

The moment the tip of the brush was about to touch the Talisman Paper, time seemed to freeze.

From an outsider's perspective, Little Martial Grand-Aunt seemed to be frozen. He stood there motionless, not even moving the hand holding the brush, as if he was thinking, or a little like he was in a daze.

But this was not the case. He also wanted to splash ink like water, with bold and unrestrained strokes, but this brush... it wouldn't move!

The real trial had just begun at the moment when the tip of the brush was about to touch the Talisman Paper!

Elder Qiu Shui stood aside and explained to the other Outer Sect Disciples: "This is the beginning of the trial. This brush already has its own spirituality. Your cultivation is still shallow, and it will be difficult to control it. You will know later."

Lu Xun mustered all his strength and then desperately poured in spiritual energy, but found it was futile.

The harder he tried, the more fiercely the brush resisted.

And the more it resisted, the more excited Lu Xun became!

"I don't believe I can't handle you!"

Since this was a trial and a task, there was no reason not to be able to wield this brush.

Since it didn't move, then my unlocking method must be wrong.

As a former task maniac, Lu Xun still had some experience. If this road doesn't work, then don't keep trying it blindly. It's not good to get stuck in a dead end, it's better to try another way.

If the dry road doesn't work, then try the waterway.

Overcome strength with gentleness! What is needed is flexibility!

Lu Xun began to reduce his strength, trying to treat this brush in a gentle way, or to put it professionally, it was the legendary skillful force.

Then… the brush moved!

Although it was very subtle, the brush did indeed move slightly, leaving a faint trace on the talisman paper!

It seems it doesn't like roughness, it prefers gentleness.

Lu Xun immediately understood that this trial was about testing the Demon Sect disciples' control over the spiritual power within their bodies!

It was to teach the disciples how to skillfully use their spiritual power and understand where it was most appropriate to use it.

There was a more fitting term for this, which was – Micro Control!

Lu Xun began to carefully feel it. The brush was drawing with difficulty on the talisman paper, unable to even draw a straight line, crooked and twisted, but it had already surprised Elder Qiu Shui and those old fogeys on Evergreen Peak.

Our Little Martial Grand-Aunt… is comprehending quite quickly!

What they didn't know was that Lu Xun had done many tasks and summarized his experience.

He was an old hand at this, understanding that if he was on the wrong path, he should immediately change it, instead of stubbornly sticking to it like an idiot.

He didn't know why, even though he hadn't received any professional training, his Micro Control over the spiritual energy in his body was surprisingly smooth!

"Strange, I clearly haven't spent much effort on this, could it be…"

Lu Xun thought of Second Senior Sister Luo Wanqiu's loving lashings when he went to sleep at night!

Perhaps the sword intent that Second Senior Sister left on him had a similar effect!

Now was not the time to think about these things. Lu Xun held the brush and drew with difficulty on the talisman paper. He felt very painful, not just physically, but mainly mentally.

This kind of Micro Control consumed too much mental energy!

Time passed by, and the five minutes finally arrived.

[Ding! The first part of the trial task has been completed, current progress is 20%, gaining 1000 experience points!]

The exhausted Lu Xun closed his eyes, opened them again after three seconds, and continued to write without hesitation!

He was a greedy person, he wanted to take everything, not leave a single bit behind!

As for the torment on the mental and physical level… ever heard of a man who can last 36 times a night?

What made him feel most powerless now was that his pitiful spiritual power was about to run out.

The so-called Micro Control was like having a sum of money and spending it carefully, spending every penny wisely. But if there was too little money, then no matter how carefully you planned, it would be useless.

On Evergreen Peak, Luo Wanqiu, the Demon Sect's only female Peak Lord, a beautiful woman, said, "Little Martial Grand-Aunt is already doing very well, but unfortunately, his cultivation is still shallow, and his spiritual power is almost exhausted. He should have reached his limit. If…"

Before she could finish her words, she immediately felt something was wrong!

Gongshu Pan, whose face was very dark, was instead an impatient person, and laughed loudly: "Breaking through on the spot, Little Martial Grand-Aunt is truly a divine person!"

They never thought that someone could break through while practicing Micro Control!

Breaking through a bottleneck while doing Micro Control… was it even possible to multitask like this!?

Seeing that the spiritual power in his body was exhausted, Lu Xun decisively clicked on upgrade!

He was not in a hurry to use up all the ten thousand experience points, only leveling up once.

His control over Micro Control was far from enough, and if his spiritual power suddenly increased, he was afraid of messing it up.

One step at a time!

After consuming one thousand experience points, Lu Xun reached the third level of the Qi Devouring Art, and the surrounding spiritual energy poured into his body, turning into spiritual power that he could use.

He, who was just poor and destitute, seemed to have suddenly become rich!

He calmed his mind and concentrated, trying his best to control the brush.

In the next moment, in everyone's astonished gaze, he used the brush in his hand to draw a…

—Straight line!
