Ling Tian looked at A Li with great satisfaction. The little girl, now awake, seemed even more lively, and had even grown a bit. A Li was now about 1.6 meters tall, already possessing a graceful stature.
Ling Tian could also feel the changes in A Li. This little girl contained far more energy than before.
"How are you feeling now, A Li?" Ling Tian asked with great concern.
"Uh… how should I put it? I've become stronger, but it's a pity. If only I had some more spatial attribute magic cores. Then I could try to break through a realm, and I'd be able to help you much better," A Li said with some regret.
Ling Tian affectionately stroked A Li's head. Her hair was incredibly fine and smooth, emitting a pleasant fragrance, much like a cat's fur.
"Don't worry, A Li. With me around, there won't be a shortage of spatial attribute crystal cores and magic cores. You don't need to feel too much pressure. Help if you can, and don't if you can't. Why live so tiredly?"
"Ling Tian, I feel like I've made some breakthroughs in my spells too. How about I demonstrate them for you?"
"Great!"
"Let's go outside. It seems not ideal to cast spatial spells within the Spirit Realm."
Ling Tian nodded at A Li's words. The Spirit Realm was a special space. If spatial spells were used within it, it could easily cause a disturbance in the laws of space, leading to very serious consequences, potentially even destroying the entire Spirit Realm!
Thus, the two left the Spirit Realm and went outside the hotel they were staying at. There was a park not far away. It was evening, and the park was quite desolate, with very few people daring to be there.
One had to know this was America, full of "0-dollar purchases" (referring to looters). Those who dared to wander the streets at night were truly brave.
"Tell me, A Li, what have you mastered?"
"Uh, Dimensional Blade, my spell, you know that one? It's evolved!"
Ling Tian nodded. Even he was somewhat envious of A Li's spell.
The so-called Dimensional Blade actually generated a small spatial rift. Although this spatial rift was only a little over ten centimeters long, it was a fissure between two spaces.
Anything that passed through the spatial rift would be cleaved in two!
Even if it were a stone pillar, the armor of a tank, or diamond, it would be cut cleanly by the Dimensional Blade.
Moreover, this Dimensional Blade was invisible and traceless. The opponent couldn't discern where a spatial rift would suddenly appear, making it a formidable spell that killed without a trace.
However, the only drawback of this spell was its limited power. The length of the Dimensional Blade was only about 10 centimeters, which had limited destructive capability against large targets.
"This time, my Dimensional Blade has evolved. Take a look!"
Ling Tian nodded and immediately activated his Heavenly Eye divine ability. Ordinary people couldn't see spatial rifts, but where spatial rifts appeared, there would be significant energy fluctuations. Through the magical effect of the Heavenly Eye, these could be seen.
A Li snapped her fingers. Ling Tian, through his Heavenly Eye, clearly saw a spatial rift suddenly appear between her index finger and thumb. This spatial rift shot out instantly, expanding continuously as it flew, until it reached over half a meter in length.
At this moment, a large tree appeared in front of the spatial rift. The rift passed directly through the tree and continued to fly forward.
"Crack, crack, crack…"
The spatial rift flew for more than ten meters, cutting through five trees consecutively before disappearing.
Seeing this, Ling Tian's eyes shone with light.
The original spatial rift had limited width, and its flight speed and subsequent power were also restricted.
However, the Dimensional Blade A Li released now flew at nearly twice the original speed, and it swept across a distance of over twenty meters before the spatial rift's energy completely dissipated. Its power was countless times greater than the original small Dimensional Blade.
"Haha, A Li, that's wonderful! With this ultimate move, from now on, when you encounter strong enemies, you can give them a taste of it…"
"Meow… A Li is very happy…"
"Haha, brothers, look what we've found… I didn't expect to have an unexpected gain here tonight…"
Four black men appeared before Ling Tian and A Li. These four men were powerfully built, over 1.9 meters tall. They were all tattooed, with rings in their noses and ears, clearly not good people.
In their hands, they held several guns, their cold gleam reflecting under the streetlights.
These were the notorious Campbell brothers in the area. Their family had over a dozen brothers, all of whom were gang members. The word "Campbell" also meant scoundrel in slang.
These four men, after finishing their dinner, had come to the park hoping to find someone alone to earn some extra cash. That's when they spotted A Li and Ling Tian.
In their eyes, a young couple in the park at this hour could only be there for a romantic rendezvous.
Especially since these two were both Chinese. These American criminals loved robbing Chinese people because Chinese people were perceived as wealthy and somewhat timid, preferring to pay to resolve issues rather than resist.
The eldest brother, the leader, Campbell, his gaze fell upon A Li.
"Oh, look what I've found. Such a beautiful girl, haha. Brothers, we're in luck tonight. I'm going to have a good time…" Campbell's face showed a lecherous smile, and his brothers also burst into laughter.
"Haha, brother, let's enjoy it together, together."
Campbell the elder walked up to Ling Tian and A Li, pointing the dark muzzle of his gun at them.
"Hey, yellow-skinned monkeys, hand over all your money. If you behave, we might spare your lives! Don't harbor any illusions. I'm telling you, there are no surveillance cameras in this park. Many people die here every year, and not a single case has been solved! If you don't comply, I guarantee you'll become one of the death statistics!"
"Okay, okay, brother, I'll listen to you. Put down that thing in your hand." Ling Tian acted very submissively. The Campbell brothers burst into laughter. In their eyes, Chinese people were weak, and Ling Tian's current demeanor was exactly like the Chinese people they had encountered before.
