"...This person is amazing."

"Hmm, they didn't use any skills, no wonder they were able to defeat your black mist."

The hot spring is located halfway up the mountain, surrounded by dense bamboo forests. The hot spring pool is decorated with pebbles and ground lights, and you can see half of the earth overhead.

There are palm-sized ice boats on the water, carrying chilled drinks, fruits, snacks, and more.

In Li Qianxia's words, this is a modern version, a lunar version, of a decadent, debauched life.

The Central King took a sip of wine; the icy liquid stimulated his taste buds and then traveled down his esophagus, spreading a chill throughout his body.

The warmth of the hot spring combined perfectly with the slight chill.

She couldn't help but sigh, feeling completely refreshed; Earthlings really do know how to enjoy themselves.

Although the ice ship was made from the corpse of the previous Frost Queen, the two were not only strangers, but the Central Kingdom and Winter Kingdom also had a grudge against each other, so she had no psychological burden at all.

She turned her gaze to the enormous holographic image in front of her.

In the video, a player dressed as a Taoist priest, as Zheng Qing described, sits on a futon that is said to calm the mind. The Taoist robe and talismans on his body are also believed to stabilize the mind.

The tribulation was chosen to be conducted at sea.

The Taoist priest formed a sword incantation with his hands, and thousands of talisman swords surged like waves, resembling a winding and ferocious giant python reaching the sky.

"Hurry!" The Taoist swordsman pointed his sword at the black mist.

boom!

The talisman swords moved like dragons pouncing, like swarms of bees biting, and like a raging flood, frantically washing away the black mist.

The black mist stood still, seemingly unharmed by the talisman sword.

“My brother isn’t alright, he’s just bluffing. He can’t use his skills after turning into black mist.” Li Qianxia, ​​whose slender white shoulders were above the water, commented while drinking iced cola. “Before turning into black mist, he used emotion control. Now, as long as this Taoist’s mind is in a panic, he will immediately reveal his true form and attack.”

Zheng Qing nodded: "The Special Operations Bureau also believes that your brother was unable to use his skills when he turned into the black mist, but there is still controversy about his emotional control. Some people think it is an inherent property of the black mist, while others think it is a skill he used before turning into the black mist."

“Both are correct.” Li Qianxia smiled playfully, her long hair, highlighted with red, was tied into a bun at the back of her head.

"All correct?" Zheng Qing asked, puzzled.

"The black mist can plunge those who see it into despair, but it doesn't seem to affect those at the third or second level of tribulation. Perhaps it's restricted like my brother's [divine body]."

"How powerful is your brother at full strength—the Tribulation of Immortals?" Bei Ya asked curiously, half of her chest floating on the surface of the hot spring water, like two small balls of light, attracting all life that yearns for light.

"Full power?" Li Qianxia placed the cola on the ice boat and gently rubbed her left shoulder with her right hand as if washing it. "When my brother first mastered the [Divine Body], the Value Game's evaluation was 'The Earth is yours now.'"

The Central King recalled Li Changzhou's slaughter of the Four Seasons Stars; that three-thousand-meter-tall divine body could destroy the world with a mere wave of his hand.

"Is a divine body stronger than an immortal?" Zhou Ying asked curiously.

"It's a secret." Li Qianxia smiled sweetly and turned away.

Compared to a first-class immortal, a divine body is only weaker in terms of endurance. In other words, as long as the divine body is not exhausted, even a first-class immortal cannot do anything about it.

Unfortunately, neither Li Changzhou's [Divine Body] nor Yang Qinglan's [Goddess of Gushe] has anything to do with their own strength; one can only be strengthened through physical means, and the other can only be strengthened by absorbing faith.

Now that the two have become immortals, their divine bodies are still only three thousand meters long, their strength remains the same, but the duration has increased.

The [Goddess of Gushe] has made no progress and can still only be used once a day for 30 seconds, but the effect remains unchanged. In other words, even after transforming into the Goddess of Gushe, Yang Qinglan, who has already become a human immortal, can still increase his abilities by 10 times.

Li Changzhou had to run within those thirty seconds.

Yang Qinglan generally wouldn't use the [Goddess of Gushe] to deal with him (excluding certain ways of dealing with men and women), but instead would use the effect of 'low-level omniscience - increasing thinking and information processing ability by 10 times' to cultivate.

“We won,” Beya suddenly said.

In the scene, the Taoist priest, covered in sweat, with a pale face, and looking like he was about to vomit from nervousness, finally dispersed the black mist without making any mistakes along the way.

The black mist slowly disappeared, and in its place appeared Li Changzhou's true form, as if he had walked out of the void.

The Taoist priest reversed his dejected mood and became excited. As long as he defeated Li Changzhou's true form, he could become an immortal!

“Hypnosis,” Zheng Qing explained. “Before his tribulation, he was subtly influenced by a psychologist who had become a player for eight days, keeping him in a state of intense excitement. Now, defeating the black mist has finally freed him from this emotional control, but being too excited also—”

"Not necessarily," Li Qianxia said with a meaningful smile.

Zheng Qing was stunned for a moment.

“You mean,” Bei Ya stared at Li Qianxia’s slightly proud face, “that this person hasn’t escaped the control of her emotions?”

"If the second-class calamity really has my brother's complete combat awareness."

The Taoist's excitement could indeed be exploited by Li Changzhou, but why was it not mentioned at all in the original battle analysis report, not even a 2% possibility?

After thinking for a moment, Zheng Qing wondered if the analysis report was also a form of hypnosis, boosting their confidence?

"Hurry!" The Taoist priest's shout pulled her back to reality.

As before, there were countless talisman swords. This time, Li Changzhou gathered clouds and generated lightning with a flick of his hand, and the thunder was like a dragon, destroying the countless talisman swords one by one like an electric fish.

Amidst the intense light and thunder, two blades, one black and one red, tore through everything and entered the Taoist's retina.

Facing the renowned Five Elements True Blade, feared and revered by players worldwide, the Taoist's fanaticism remained undiminished. He raised his palms to the sky, golden light flowing from them, transforming into a golden bell to protect himself.
