Han Yu stood in front of the glowing barrier talisman he'd just activated.
The shimmering dome of spiritual light glowed faintly blue, humming with energy. The defensive talisman, though not top-tier, was still something an average cultivator would rely on during a critical moment. It was enough to simulate a moderate-level formation or protective barrier, the perfect candidate for his next test.
Han Yu's eyes narrowed.
The Soul Needle, though subtle and piercing, was too limited in utility. It couldn't disrupt formations or interfere with talisman constructs. Worse still, its lack of visible manifestation made it hard to use for intimidation or battlefield control.
But the Emotion Severing Slash? That was a different beast entirely.
