Lan Ling's three skills are not useless abilities.
The first two, in particular, one for living beings and the other for buildings, are two rare large-scale AoEs.
Lin Xu's most powerful heavy machine gun currently has a range of only two kilometers.
But now, with just these two skills, Lan Ling can attack any enemy within a two-kilometer radius, and the destructive power must be considerable.
It's like Lanling itself is a superimposed heavy machine gun, or even more than just a single heavy machine gun, but a whole group of heavy machine guns.
With this kind of firepower suppression, we will have more trump cards when dealing with Xiao Xing and his group.
Lan Ling's last skill, which is somewhat similar to Tao Yao's skill of creating spirits, finally gave the island another way to acquire people.
However, after reading the description of Lan Ling's last skill, Lin Xu realized that the minions Lan Ling summoned were likely not permanent and were ordinary vortex lifeforms with limited intelligence.
If he wants these vortex life forms to become like Lan Ling, he will probably need to personally enlighten and process them again.
But this is not a problem. Lin Xu had long since solved the cooldown time limitation of the Enlightenment ability, and multiple consecutive Enlightenment is no longer a problem for him.
Lin Xu then said to Lan Ling:
"Lan Ling, use your ability to summon subordinates to create some vortex creatures for me to see."
Lan Ling nodded and slightly extended her hand.
The Fountain of Life ahead suddenly changed; a stream of water gushed out and then condensed into five whirlpools.
These vortexes gradually transformed into a one-meter-tall creature, staring at Lin Xu and Lan Ling with its eyes open.
Without Lin Xu's reminder, Lan Ling reached out and took five more strands of hair from her body.
Her body is made of the fountain of life, and this hair can grow and heal itself at any time, so there is no need to worry about her hair being plucked out.
Lan Ling tossed her hair onto the five vortex lifeforms, and their eyes immediately became much more lively. Their bodies also grew larger, even taller than Lan Ling.
However, these vortex creatures still did not transform into human form, and they did not appear to be very intelligent.
Lin Xu's eyes flickered.
It seems that Lan Ling's summoning power alone can only create creatures with incomplete life forms, which are more suitable for use as cannon fodder.
Moreover, even without consuming the life force of these vortex creatures, they will disappear on their own after a certain time.
However, Lin Xu now has another option.
This was also a hint given to him by the previously accumulated talents.
He can enlighten these creatures, causing them to undergo a qualitative change.
Lin Xu then asked Lan Ling to summon the vortex creatures, and then he enlightened one of them.
The next moment, another voice appeared in his mind.
"You are...the master?"
Lin Xu looked at what was in front of him.
In the realm of consciousness, a water sprite appeared who looked three parts like Lan Ling, but was taller and had a slightly weaker aura.
"The enlightenment really worked. Now I can mass-produce water spirits, right?"
Lin Xu's heart skipped a beat, and the corners of his mouth curled up:
"That's right, I am your master. But from now on you must obey Lan Ling's commands, she will be your leader."
Lin Xu said to the water spirit, then thought for a moment and added:
"I will ask Lan Ling to name you later."
The water sprite smiled:
"It has a name? That's wonderful! Thank you, Master!"
Lin Xu was somewhat surprised.
This water sprite seems to have a much more normal personality; she's a gentle and lovely girl, without the overly innocent feeling that Lan Ling possesses.
It seems that the life forms Lan Ling summons are somewhat different from her own personality.
Lin Xu nodded, and the water spirit in his mind returned to the body of the vortex creature in front of him.
The next moment, the vortex suddenly burst forth with many springs of life, from which a blue-haired girl about 1.5 meters tall grew.
Compared to Lan Ling, this girl looked more energetic, and she even had a single ponytail, a hairstyle different from Lan Ling's.
Lin Xu said to Lan Ling:
"From now on, these will be your subordinates. Unless something unexpected happens, all the vortex creatures you create will be transformed into your kind by me. You will be responsible for commanding them and teaching them to serve the island."
Lan Ling blinked:
"A leader? Subordinates? They seem quite impressive!"
Lin Xu patted Lan Ling's head:
"This isn't a game, so don't just focus on having fun. For example, right now, you're in charge of naming these new water sprites."
Lan Ling pressed a finger to her lips and fell into deep thought.
With her current level of knowledge, it is indeed a bit difficult for her to name others.
Lin Xu did not guide Lan Ling now; Xiao Yu would naturally teach Lan Ling about naming later.
He then transformed the remaining vortex creatures into elves.
Four other water sprites, each with a different appearance and personality, were born.
Compared to the Peach Fairy, the Water Fairy is clearly more mature, both physically and in terms of personality.
However, these elves all have blue hair and more or less have Lan Ling's ethereal temperament.
Fortunately, their personalities are not so naive; rather, they are more like ordinary teenage girls.
Lin Xu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Finally, there were some normal people on his island.
Otherwise, spending every day with Tao Yao and her group of silly and cute guys would make him feel like his IQ was going to deteriorate.
Lin Xu then examined the characteristics of ordinary water sprites and discovered that these water sprites also possessed some natural talents.
They can control the Fountain of Life and consume life force to create this kind of water. They can also condense small water arrows and water guns to attack enemies, which can be considered as some self-defense ability.
If the abilities of Blue Silk and Fountain of Life are further developed, the Water Sprite might, like the Peach Sprite, gradually acquire a system that allows for rapid growth.
Meanwhile, Lin Xu tentatively extended his finger.
The next moment, a small wisp of water vapor suddenly condensed above his finger, eventually turning into a small water droplet.
Lin Xu looked at the water droplets above his fingers, feeling somewhat shocked.
This drop of water is the fountain of life, which he just naturally condensed by relying on some instincts deep within his soul.
Before this, he had never received any such superpowers or inheritance.
However, after he came into contact with the souls of several water spirits, it seemed that some traces of these spirits remained in his soul.
Therefore, although he did not tear these spirits apart, he seemed to be able to inherit a little bit of the water spirits' power.
Lin Xu was somewhat shocked, and then felt a surge of excitement.
Although his current water-based abilities are very weak, his enlightenment abilities are limitless.
Therefore, as long as he continues to enlighten the water spirit, his water-based abilities will become more and more profound, and his power to manipulate water-based abilities will become stronger.
If things continue like this, it's entirely possible that he'll one day become like Lan Ling, able to summon tides directly from the void.
This is yet another path to becoming stronger.
Moreover, it is a method that can both increase the number of subordinates and become stronger without any loss.
Lin Xu now had a deeper understanding of the potential of enlightenment abilities.
He couldn't help but glance at the Phantom.
The Shadow Princess once said that a great figure in history also possessed this ability.
Who exactly is this person? And what did he do? Even the proud Shadow Clan addresses him with respect?
Judging from the powerful potential demonstrated by the current enlightenment ability, simply possessing this one ability is equivalent to having an endless number of subordinates and extremely strong power.
What level of power had the great figures who once possessed this ability reached?
Where has this person gone now?
