When Lu Ning said he wanted to equip two extremely dangerous soul artifacts, everyone's expressions were very strange.

They all knew that the extremely dangerous soul artifacts were different from the high-danger soul artifacts, with far greater mental pollution and side effects.

Even if mental pollution doesn't affect Lu Ning much, the side effects are still quite unpleasant.

Especially Yaen, as far as Yaen knew, it seemed that even demigod-level guardians did not use two extremely dangerous soul weapons at the same time.

Of course, Yann couldn't be completely sure, since he wasn't entirely clear about the Guardians' combat strength either.

He was certain that even demigod-level powerhouses would be affected by extremely dangerous soul artifacts.

Lu Ning is only at the seventh rank, yet he's already planning to use two extremely dangerous soul artifacts. That's outrageous.

Osiris asked with a strange expression, "...Are you sure you want to use two extremely dangerous Horcruxes?"

Lu Ning nodded: "Mm."

“Alright then, I’ll ask around for you later.” Osiris didn’t say anything more.

However, Steve said with envy, "I didn't expect that you, Lu Ning, could exchange for a special-grade soul weapon again? You've done so much for us!"

An Lan smiled and said, "That's normal. After all, Lu Ning made the greatest contributions in both the 233rd Mist and the 101st Mist this time. Especially this time, his contribution was probably even greater than that of Biaen. In addition to the merits he has accumulated before, he may really have a chance to exchange for a special dangerous-grade soul weapon."

No one else objected.

After all, Lu Ning's contribution this time was indeed significant.

It's fair to say that without Lu Ning, they would probably all have died there, and they might not even have been able to get past the fog wall.

After thinking for a moment, Yann said, "Replace this with another of the extremely dangerous items from last time."

The extremely dangerous item he encountered last time deepened his understanding of the power of light and allowed him to learn new abilities.

He even tried it last night and found that he was only one step away from becoming a demigod.

This dangerous item is extremely compatible with him. If he uses it again, he might be able to completely break through and reach the demigod level.

At that time, he will also become one of humanity's guardians.

Osiris nodded: "Okay, I'll go ask and see if there are any left."

Afterwards, everyone left the villa and, on Yann's recommendation, went to a restaurant for breakfast.

Afterwards, Steve, An Lan, Su Qi, and Aila said goodbye to Lu Ning and the others.

They won't be participating in the next task, so they can go back and rest for now.

As for the remaining group, Lu Ning and Ya En returned to the villa, while Osiris and Aisha Lin went to headquarters to find someone to treat their injuries and exchange items.

After returning to the villa, Lu Ning said goodbye to Ya En and went back to his room.

He began to further refine his mental strength.

During the time he was in the mist, Lu Ning rarely had the opportunity to temper his mental strength.

However, after several months of tempering in the mist, Lu Ning had managed to absorb most of the mental pollution from the Dreamweaver Spider Mother.

He planned to completely absorb the mental pollution from the Dreamweaver Spider Queen before leaving.

…………

Two days later.

Lu Ning, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them abruptly. The next moment, he walked out of the room and quickly arrived on the first floor.

As Lu Ning passed by the study on the first floor, he saw Ya En sitting behind his desk, looking at a photo album in his hand.

Hearing the noise, Yan looked up.

When he saw Lu Ning, Ya En paused, somewhat surprised: "Lu Ning? What's wrong? You haven't come out for the past two days. Have you been tempering your mental power?"

Lu Ning nodded: "Yes, we've been tempering the evil god's mental pollution before."

Arn looked enlightened, then laughed and said, "You're really something, you can even absorb the mental pollution of an evil god. Planning to take a break?"

Lu Ning shook his head: "No, it's just that I've almost completely absorbed the mental pollution from the Dreamweaver Spider Mother that I absorbed before. I need to go outside the base city to avoid making a big commotion and damaging your room."

Hearing this, Yann was taken aback, somewhat surprised: "The Dreamweaver Spider Mother? Isn't that an evil god worshipped by the Mind Cult? I heard you participated in the Dream Plague mission before, and absorbed it at that time?"

"Um."

After thinking for a moment, Yann said, "I'll go with you. There might be some unexpected situations in the wild, so I'll keep an eye out for you."

Lu Ning didn't refuse and nodded: "Okay."

The two left the room and then quickly headed out of the base city.

After passing through the city gate, Lu Ning and Ya En left the base city. Lu Ning then grew blood-red wings, while Ya En took to the air, and the two soared into the sky.

The pedestrians coming and going at the city gate of the base looked in astonishment in the direction the two had left.

"That is... Saint Arn?"

"It should be him. He's the only saint of the power of light. Who's that guy next to him? He can even grow wings; is he using the power of flesh and blood?"

"I don't know. I've never heard of a powerful being with flesh and blood growing wings. Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to have reached the Saint level yet, right?"

"Perhaps they are awakened individuals from other base cities, who have just joined the headquarters?"

"..."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, curious about Lu Ning's identity.

After all, the proportion of flesh and blood power among awakened individuals is not actually too small, but I have never heard of an awakened individual with flesh and blood power being able to grow wings.

The application of this ability is quite amazing.

Lu Ning and Ya En were unaware of the discussions among the crowd. They quickly arrived at the other side of the mountains surrounding the base city, dozens of kilometers away.
