"Are you awake?"

As the first ray of sunlight streamed into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Jiang Yuan snapped out of his meditation.

Ning Yanlan's eyes were not fully open yet; she simply let out a lazy, almost muffled "hmm."

"Get up quickly, we're going out today!" Jiang Yuan put away the Holy Spirit Source by his bedside. The spiritual power he had gained overnight, which was more than ten times higher than usual, had significantly increased his energy points.

"Have you broken through to the seventh rank?" Although Ning Yanlan hadn't cultivated, her Eye of Insight could still discern some clues.

"You have good taste, my wife! You noticed that!" Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

"come over!"

Ning Yanlan beckoned to Jiang Yuan with her finger, looking at him with a charming smile.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Yuan asked with a hint of confusion.

"Come on over here, it's not like I'm going to eat you!" Ning Yanlan said, feigning anger.

"Heh!" Jiang Yuan chuckled helplessly, then sat down on the edge of the bed. "You're not planning to mess with me again, are you?"

Ning Yanlan rolled over and wrapped him in the blanket, then let out a silvery laugh, "You've been keeping watch all night, I'd feel bad if I didn't reward you!"

"Treat me well!" Jiang Yuan could feel the affection of the woman in his arms.

"Yeah, let's keep our voices down, so we won't disturb anyone else!" Ning Yanlan whispered in his ear.

"Thump! Thump!"

A sudden knock on the door startled Ning Yanlan, while Jiang Yuan feigned innocence, saying, "I was just about to tell you that Little Fatty and Leng Yue are already waiting outside!"

"You..." Ning Yanlan's face flashed with shame and anger, "Why didn't you say so sooner!"

"I wanted to say it too, but you pounced on me as soon as you woke up, and didn't give me a chance to speak!" Jiang Yuan said with a teasing smile.

"Hmph, you just wait!" Ning Yanlan threatened, snatched the blanket away, and shouted outside, "Wait for me for three minutes, it'll be ready soon!"

"Why don't we make them wait a little longer? Three minutes is too insulting to me!" Jiang Yuan, always eager for a good show, deliberately provoked Ning Yanlan.

"Get out of here right now!"

Ning Yanlan gave Jiang Yuan a symbolic kick and pointed at the door, telling Jiang Yuan to 'get out' first!

"Hurry up, we're just waiting for you!" Jiang Yuan urged helplessly, then left the room first.

"Brother Yuan, this won't do! Your wife said to wait three minutes, and you came out before three minutes were up!" Little Fatty mocked. Mutual teasing was a regular thing between roommates, and he felt he would be letting Brother Yuan down if he didn't tease him.

"Get the hell out of here!" Jiang Yuan was amused by the situation.

"Hehehe, didn't you guys notice any changes in me today?" After joking, Little Fatty proudly gestured for Jiang Yuan and Leng Yue to look at him.

Leng Yue remained silent. Jiang Yuantian glanced at her, slightly surprised, and then said, "It's just the seventh rank, what's the big deal!"

"Seventh rank? What do you mean 'seventh rank'? I'm the face of the Oath now, a dignified seventh-rank Great Shield Warrior!" Little Fatty patted his chest and laughed wildly.

"Sorry, I'm also at the seventh level!" Jiang Yuan casually tossed out a Holy Spirit Bullet, aiming it directly at Little Fatty.

"Wow!"

Little Fatty didn't expect his good brother to start sparring so directly, but such 'surprise attacks' happened all the time after the cataclysm, and they had long since become accustomed to it.

"The Guardian of Sacred Relics!"

The chubby boy, who never parted with his shield, summoned the Meteorite Plate. However, this time the Meteorite Plate was different from the previous one. The originally simple Meteorite Plate not only had a handle, but its entire body was also covered with a layer of golden stripes that spread from the Holy Relic's Protection, making it quite beautiful.

Bang! The Holy Spirit Bullet struck the Meteorite Plate, but Little Fatty didn't budge. He hid behind the shield and said smugly, "Brother Yuan, you're no good! You can't even break my defense!"

"Wow, that's impressive!" Jiang Yuan hadn't expected the little fat boy to change so much overnight.

"Of course! After fusing with the intermediate giant bloodline, my strength has increased to 134, and my energy points will continue to soar for the next few days! Right now, I'm the face of the Oath!" Little Fatty knew the atmosphere within the Oath, and he wasn't saying these things to brag, but simply to talk about his strength.

"Yeah?"

Leng Yue, who had been silent until now, spoke up calmly, raising her shoulders and saying, "Last night, with the help of my Devouring Talent, both of my attributes reached 141 points!"

"Huh?" Little Fatty looked puzzled. He didn't know about the Devouring Talent and was confused when he suddenly heard about it.

"Little Fatty, if you can withstand this attack, I'll find a way to unlock your Devouring Talent!"

Jiang Yuan noticed Xiao Pang's strong interest in the Devouring Talent, so he wanted to provoke him.

"Brother Yuan, although I don't know what the Devouring Talent is, just for the aura of you challenging me, the strongest shield warrior of the Oath, I have to accept!" The chubby boy slammed his fists on the meteorite plate, signaling Jiang Yuan to come at him.

"Then you'd better catch it!"

Jiang Yuan took two steps back. After a night of hard work, he had already integrated the ancient aura with Tai Chi. All his insights came to mind at this moment.

"Giant Armor!" Little Fatty dared not underestimate his opponent. He had witnessed too many terrifying achievements of Jiang Yuan. This was a monster whose strength could not be measured by realm alone, and he had to be treated with caution.

Jiang Yuanquan's hands were shaped like a circle, but the next second he threw a powerful punch, and a vast and mighty force suddenly descended.

"Tai Chi - Yin and Yang!"

"antiquity!"

All his strength erupted at one point, and a terrifying force crashed into the meteorite plate.

Don't underestimate me!

Upon first contact, Little Fatty felt the powerful force of the punch, but the stronger the force, the stronger his will to never give up grew, and the intermediate giant bloodline within him naturally surged.

"The Song of the Earth!"

The battle song of the earth resounded, but Jiang Yuan consciously did not enjoy its amplification; at this moment, they were enemies, not teammates.

Crack! The marble table closest to them couldn't withstand such a powerful force and shattered, leaving a half-meter-long crack on its surface.

Clang! A deafening sound rang out in the living room.

Little Fatty took three steps back, while the light from Jiang Yuan's fist dimmed.

Both of them held back, otherwise this ordinary courtyard would have had a hard time withstanding such a powerful impact.

"I didn't lose!" Little Fatty took three steps back, but his eyes were full of excitement.

He had witnessed Jiang Yuan repel an eighth-tier earth beast, which meant that he was now comparable to an eighth-tier earth beast, and this was proof of that.

"I lost!" Jiang Yuan readily admitted that he had indeed lost this attack.

Although such head-on clashes are rare in battle, since Jiang Yuan chose to attack the opponent's defense head-on, he had to admit defeat.

Leng Yue didn't say much. She knew Jiang Yuan's endless tricks well. Not to mention the divine battle that could instantly amplify several times, even his other tricks couldn't be blocked by Little Fatty with just a shield.

"Are you demolishing the house? You shook me down from upstairs!"

The battle had just ended when Ning Yanlan appeared upstairs carrying two little ones.
