On the Crystal Plaza.
Tritton looked up disrespectfully into the eyes of his ancestor.
On the giant statue that was about ten meters tall, the pair of sapphire eyes seemed to be smiling, as if mocking Tryton.
Mermaid Ancestor: Didn't you expect that? My dear descendant, you have a special kind of people. They have blue hair, blue eyes, and a blue tail, just like me. They are born mermaids. Are you surprised? Are you happy?
Triton: ...Whoever wants this ancestor can take it.
Triton stared at it for a moment longer, and it occurred to him that his ancestor's amiable face had transformed into the face Thor wore when he was teasing him.
Tritton quickly shook his head and looked down at Lingling's adorable little round face to wash his eyes.
"Well, well, of course."
Before Triton could finish his words, Thor stuffed a spirit cub into his arms.
He quickly put the staff into the space ring, caught Lingling in a hurry, looked up and glared at Thor. Thor raised his chin at him, indicating that he should have a good talk with Lingling, then turned around and walked away leisurely.
Before leaving, he turned his back to Triton and said, "I'm going to talk to the two little brothers from the Treeman tribe about what happened to Lingling recently. You take good care of her."
Triton didn't respond to Thor. He had a wooden face and held Lingling stiffly.
Seeing that Uncle Tritton seemed unhappy, Lingling thought for a moment and then picked up her new toy.
"Uncle, here you go!" Lingling invited enthusiastically.
Triton forced himself to relax his expression and looked down at what Lingling had given him—a delicate blue tail with smooth lines that was waving happily.
Triton: "...Thank you Lingling, uncle, no, Lingling, play by yourself."
Having said that, looking at Lingling's sparkling blue eyes, Triton somehow touched Lingling's little tail, his movements very gentle.
Hmm~ It feels very good, warm and soft, unlike an adult mermaid like him, whose scales are cold and a bit sharp.
Triton: ...What was I thinking!
Triton took a deep breath and swam out holding Lingling.
He's going to calm down, deep-sea fish, tremble!
......
"Uncle~ It's so dark here... What are we doing here?" Lingling grabbed the corner of Tryton's clothes, her voice trembling.
After a while, Lingling was carried by Triton and swam out of the mermaid kingdom at a rapid speed and came to the deep sea.
The deep sea was pitch black. If Lingling had not been so close to Trydon, she would have been unable to see Trydon's face clearly. But it was still dark and blurry.
Lingling's long laboratory experience made her a little afraid of the dark, so she kept clinging to Triton.
Triton sensed the little guy's fear and felt a little annoyed.
Why was I so careless? This is a girl, not my twin sons who are tough and can be trained easily.
But since he had already made it out, he had no choice but to pretend nothing had happened. He spoke in a low voice, "Lingling, aren't you going to learn mental magic? The most important lesson is to learn to attack the target with mental power. Uncle will take you to practice."
After he finished speaking, Triton keenly noticed Lingling's trembling, and his heart softened slightly.
After all, Lingling was only a little girl over two years old, and she had just received the inheritance, so she didn't know if her spirit had recovered yet. It was dark here, so he had to be extra patient.
Thinking of this, Triton no longer cared about whether he would disturb the prey. He hugged Lingling with one hand, took out a night pearl from the space ring and handed it to Lingling.
“Eh~”
Lingling held the night pearl and felt that her eyes suddenly lit up.
Triton chuckled. "Uncle can actually see clearly in the dark, but you're still too young and your night vision isn't fully developed yet. You'll have to make do with this for now."
Lingling was no longer afraid. She held the night-shining pearl, which was half the size of her head, tightly in her little hands. She regained her energy and asked excitedly, "Uncle, what should I do?"
Seeing that Lingling was no longer afraid, Triton felt relieved and began his own teaching.
"Lingling, close your eyes and feel your surroundings first, then try to release the contents of your mind, that is, your mental power, to perceive."
Lingling listened to Triton's words and tried to close her eyes.
After feeling it quietly for a while, she felt that the water flow around her seemed a little strange.
but.
Lingling secretly opened one eye and asked sheepishly, "Lingling is not used to it. Does it count if I heard the sound with my little ears?"
Triton laughed. How could this be considered?
He released his own mental power and tried to guide Lingling's mental power.
Lingling felt as if a string in her little head was plucked, gently and faintly.
"Lingling, just imagine that there's something invisible but flowing inside your head. Try to pull it out and throw it outside."
She tried to concentrate and do as Tritton said.
I toss, I toss, I toss, toss, toss, toss~
After a while, Triton felt Lingling's mental power begin to become active.
He secretly praised in his heart that this little guy's mental talent was indeed not low.
He took the opportunity to gently guide: "Very good, Lingling, now, use your mental power to perceive the area in front of you, and you will find something unusual."
Lingling followed Triton's instructions and concentrated her attention to explore forward.
Suddenly, she felt a group of creatures swimming in front of her. They were small and seemed to be deep-sea fish.
"Uncle, I feel it! There is a school of fish in front!" Lingling opened her eyes, clapping her little fish tail and said excitedly.
Triton nodded with satisfaction. "Very good, Lingling. Next, we need to use our mental power to attack them."
"Remember, mental power is a very sharp and flexible force. If you have determined the location of the opponent's head, just thrust your mental power towards that area."
Lingling seemed to understand but not quite, but she still obediently closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and shot her mental power forward quickly, like shaking branches in the forest.
The school of fish seemed to sense danger and began to flee in all directions.
But their speed is far inferior to the speed of mental power.
"Got it!" Lingling cheered.
Her mental power successfully shot one of the fish.
Under the influence of spiritual power, the fish instantly lost its ability to resist and allowed Lingling to control it.
Looking at Lingling's performance, Triton felt very pleased.
He knew that this little human girl had successfully mastered mental attacks, and it would be easy for her to learn other things.
Her talent and potential are undoubtedly enormous.
Well, much better than his two brats.
He swam over, took the fish controlled by his mental power, and gently placed it in Lingling's hand.
"Here, Lingling, your first trophy."
