After arriving home, Lilly locked herself in her room and did not come out for a long time.
This was the first time Bettany encountered Lilly in such a state. In the past, no matter when she returned, Lilly would always come to her except at midnight.
But now?
"Blake, what's going on?" Bettany grew concerned.
Blake reassured her, saying, "Don't worry, Lilly has her matters to attend to."
If something were amiss, Pablo or the other spirits would have hurriedly emerged.
Bettany wanted to say something, eventually, she remained silent and turned around to cook.
Meanwhile, Lilly was inside her room.
She sat cross-legged on the bed, clutching a pen in her hand.
"The Pen of Judgment... connects the Three Realms and the Six Paths?"
It was a rulebound spirit tool.
"What exactly is a rulebound spirit tool?"
Lilly muttered, unable to understand a single word.
Pablo explained, "I'll tell you what a rulebound spirit tool is. We possess supernatural abilities and magical weapons. The supernatural abilities are like the one called Daddy… Uh, and the people who knew how to use these tools are called prodigies."
"A spiritual tool is the most basic of all tools. spiritual tools have different tiers, ranging from spiritual weapons to treasure weapons..."
Lilly responded with an "Oh."
To be honest, she did not understand whatever Pablo just explained.
Pablo patiently continued, "A spiritual tool is the most basic form. For instance, the protective bracelet you crafted before was made from jade, making it a fundamental magical artifact. If it were made from amethyst from the underworld, its abilities would be more potent, transforming it into a spiritual weapon."
"Let's say your Uncle Cloud is in danger. A magical artifact can help him block a fatal blow, but there's no guarantee that he won't be injured. A spiritual weapon, on the other hand, will not only protect him from harm but also ensure he remains unscathed. A treasure weapon goes a step further—it not only shields your uncle but also safeguards his teammates nearby. And if it's a Taoist weapon, it can even reflect bullets..."
Pablo was speechless.
Feeling somewhat insulted by his nerdy response...
He silently thought to himself, "Next, let's talk about the rulebound spirit tools."
"Let me explain. Imagine drawing a graph with the vertical axis representing the level of the magical weapon and the horizontal axis representing its category."
"For instance, the bracelet you made that provides protection is defensive, making it a defensive magical weapon. Your purple sledgehammer, scale, and frying pan... well, that's used for attacking others. These are offensive magical artifacts. And rulebound spirit tools are the most powerful of them all—they can defend, attack, and even rewrite the rules."
Lilly was silent
Master, why don't you go teach somewhere else…
I still don't get it at all.
Lilly suddenly thought of Zachary.
Why not ask Zachary about this complex question?
Lilly immediately got out of bed and hurried to Zachary's room.
Pablo muttered, "Hey..."
Can't he explain it differently?
Zachary was perfecting Lilly's attack and defense techniques in his notebook.
