Qian Yuelong, once again subtly implicated by the system program: "."

Isn't this growth task a bit too intelligent?

Looking at the new growth tasks, 886 laughed uncontrollably: [Laughing to death, as expected of growth tasks that are updated in real time, I wasn't wrong about you.]

As a partner who has been with Qian Yuelong for almost eleven years, 886's overall assessment of Qian Yuelong's personality can be summed up in eight words: "Unknown qualities, but becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents."

When they are well-mannered, they exude an air of mystery and nobility.

When people lack manners, they can solemnly claim to be acting on behalf of heaven, and then go and rob other people's wallets.

Ignoring 886's mockery, Qian Yuelong glanced at her current faith points and then at the newly acquired clothing panel in her wardrobe.

[Clothing: Embroidered Robes of Mountains and Rivers - Your Kingdom, Your Rules]

(Passive: Expands the range of the owner's Soul Skills, with the maximum range being the cross-sectional size of the owner's territory.)

It's an ability that's very suitable for her current situation.

Qian Yuelong sighed inwardly, lingeringly glancing at the magnificent robe embroidered with the black dragon totem. Amidst 886's hearty laughter, she regained her composure and unlocked another grayed-out set piece.

The black and gold color scheme, while undeniably noble, is too formal, giving off an imperial aura that isn't quite suitable for her current occasion. It might be appropriate for future ceremonies, though.

[Beep—Crafting the "Heavenly Garment" outfit piece for the A-grade set "Obscure Night's Splendor" has cost -1800 Faith Points. Current Faith Points: 9]

【Clothing: Set "Obscure Night Splendor" Piece - Heavenly Robe (Grade A) - The rising crescent moon watches over the newborn soul, but the dust of the mortal world cannot touch the realm belonging to the gods.

(Passive: Stars reveal destiny. Only through blood can the future be glimpsed.)

The lone seedling's single-digit faith value hung there pitifully, and 886's laughter came to an abrupt halt, almost causing him to faint from lack of breath.

Fortunately, the retail investors outside the divine realm played their part in the next second, breaking through from single digits back to double digits, and still rising in small increments.

But its fickle host hadn't stopped, urging it to unlock another part of the "Obscure Night Splendor" set for her.

Because if you want to order a set on credit, this is the only system available.

"Xiao Ba, let's pay on credit and unlock the 'Cloud Phoenix Feather Robe' too."

886 slowly typed out a question mark: 【? Don't you already have the "Heavenly Garment"?! Why do you need the Feather Garment?!】

Qian Yuelong was unusually firm: "What are you saying! A goddess's clothes may not be white, but she absolutely cannot be without a feathered robe!"

She declared righteously, "What kind of goddess is she if she doesn't wear a feathered robe?!"

Regardless, she was determined to become a Chinese goddess.

"Hurry, hurry! Bibi Dong and the others are almost at the center of the Divine Realm. Be careful, or I'll give up and we'll all die together!"

886: [.line.]

It gritted its teeth and sent a credit request to Qian Yuelong, watching its pitiful two-digit faith value instantly turn negative.

[Beep—Crafting the A-grade set "Dark Night Splendor" back accessory piece "Cloud Phoenix Feather Robe" has cost -1500 Faith Points. Current Faith Points: -1477 (as of crafting "Cloud Phoenix Feather Robe")]

On the verge of receiving an unlucky buff, he spread his wings like a roc.

The tooth that doesn't exist (886) started to hurt.

As expected, the host cannot hoard faith points. Even a little faith point will lead to squandering!

Damn it, why doesn't the main system allow the system to take full control of faith value management? Why can it only manage the ones on credit?

Satisfied now? Time to get back to work.

886 stared gloomily at Qian Yuelong, who was smiling.

Qian Yuelong smiled and looked towards the southeast of the Divine Realm. Her academy uniform was enveloped in a layer of light and began to change.

"certainly."

The white mist, like translucent, prismatic crystals, floated in the air, emanating a faint chill.

Ghost tried to attack these crystals, which resembled shattered ice, with his soul power. They were harder than top-grade black-veined iron. Even 30% of the power of a titled Douluo could not break them, and 50% of his power only caused some net-like cracks to appear on the surface.

This result immediately put Bibi Dong and her two companions on high alert, and they proceeded cautiously through the strange white area.

After being reminded by Director Li, who had been through it all, Bibi Dong and the other two did not look up at the enormous full moon that shouldn't have appeared at this time or here after entering the domain.

Strangely, the longer one stayed in this bizarre realm, the stronger the inexplicable attraction from above became.

It was as if a voice was constantly speaking in their minds and ears, urging them to look up at the beautiful moon.

Those with weak mental strength and willpower will likely fall victim to this attack in no time, which is chilling.

The ghosts stood ready, Bibi Dong frowned, and Yue Guan was intrigued.

Using his spiritual and soul power to protect himself, Yue Guan's smile widened as he exclaimed in a chanting tone, "Your Holiness, which side do you think created this materialized realm?" He was becoming increasingly curious about who could possess such skill.

Ghostly gaze was deep: "In my memory, no young person or existing Title Douluo possesses such a domain. If this person is not useful to my Spirit Hall, then he cannot be kept alive."

Recalling the teachers and students she had met along the way, Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with a dark light: "The students and faculty I saw on the way here were only controlled. They were not forced to kill each other or seen corpses. This person should be able to communicate, but I am not sure if he is an enemy."

After all, she had never heard of anyone so brazenly provoking the Spirit Hall Academy. Apart from Tang Hao back then, there was no one else daring to challenge her authority.

That's interesting.

Noticing that Bibi Dong's words contained no murderous intent, Yue Guan's eyes flashed, and he pointed out Bibi Dong's little scheme without being offensive: "Does Your Holiness the Pope want to recruit this Soul Master?"

"After all, it didn't cause too much damage to the Spirit Hall Academy, nor did it injure anyone. It was just youthful arrogance, wanting to show off his abilities. Besides, our Spirit Hall has always cherished talent." Bibi Dong didn't deny it, and was even making excuses for this unfamiliar Soul Master who caused the entire academy's teachers and students to evacuate and alarmed the Spirit Hall.

Ghostly and Moon Pass exchanged glances, their minds already weighing the attitude of this unfamiliar Soul Master.

However, when the three of them finally arrived at the hundred-meter-long semi-circular crater in the center of the divine realm, their eyes were filled with astonishment when they saw the figure floating at the bottom of the crater.

"That's... Qian Yuelong?!"

The astonished and amplified voices of her superiors and close friends were like demonic chants pounding into her brain, making Yue Guan feel an urge to faint.

His good disciple was waiting for him here!

He knew it had to do with this little guy!
