"You can paint?"
Prince Lucy was somewhat surprised.
"Art, being such a refined thing, is always interconnected, and I also have a little knowledge of it."
"Your Highness, strike a graceful pose so I can draw a portrait of you."
Ling Tian said.
Prince Lucy also became interested and sat up straight with dignity: "How about this?"
"Hmm... it's almost lacking in artistic conception..."
Ling Tian stepped forward and began to manipulate her body.
The latter's cheeks flushed slightly, but quickly returned to normal.
"That's much better. Just keep smiling."
Ling Tian nodded in satisfaction, then went to the other side, took out his tools, and began to paint.
After a long while, a beautiful portrait was completed.
Ling Tian handed it to Prince Lucy.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?"
Upon receiving the portrait, Prince Lucy was deeply captivated.
The self in the painting is so beautiful, dignified yet kind, with a gentle smile that warms the heart, and the interplay of light and shadow perfectly capturing the essence of the scene.
When you look closely, you can feel as if you are there, and you can really feel the emotions of the people in the painting. It is truly a magical painting.
Even with her extensive knowledge and experience, she had never seen such a creation before.
"Sir, you are truly a talented man. Since it is a work of art, it should have a title. As the author, would you please give it a name?"
"That's what Prince Lucy said."
After a moment of contemplation, Ling Tian said, "Let's call it 'Lucy's Smile'!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Lucy's heart, which had never beaten before, trembled slightly before returning to calm.
"Is this painting truly a gift to me?"
"Of course, after all, the purpose of painting this picture is to leave it to Your Highness as a memento."
Ling Tian didn't care about the Dao. It was just a painting; he could paint as many as he wanted.
"Then I shall accept it without hesitation."
Princess Lucy happily accepted the painting and planned to treasure it in her palace.
As for sharing it with others, that's impossible; this painting can only be enjoyed by me alone.
The white-haired loli jumped off the bench, took out something, and handed it to Ling Tian.
"This is the Chain of Protection. When you are in danger, I will be able to sense it and teleport to your side through this item."
Seeing this, Ling Tian accepted it. It happened to be an accessory, so he happily put on this life-saving item.
"By the way, could a prince from another world be teleported over?"
Ling Tian suddenly thought of something.
"Uh... I don't know either..."
The white-haired loli was stumped by the question.
"Alright, I'll try not to use this."
Who wants to put themselves in danger? So it's best not to use it.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Ling Tian's figure disappeared from this realm and returned to the strange world.
I opened my system panel after a long time.
[Host: Ling Tian]
[Strength: Late Stage of Ferocity]
[Occupations: Ghostly Healer, Ghostly Master, Ghostly Writer, Ghostly Composer, Ghostly Painter, Ghostly Fighter]

Number of patients treated: 1.17 million

Number of followers: 1.03 million

System Points: 740,000
[System Evaluation: You have already reached the second tier in this realm. Keep up the good work and successfully reach the top!]
Looking at the pitifully small number of students and the number of enemies defeated, Ling Tian sighed. He'd maxed out all the other professions, but the teacher profession was the most difficult. And the Ghost Saint Fighter was newly awakened, so he was just getting started. (Ahem, I made a mistake earlier; it's been corrected.)
He had considered other methods to increase the number of students, such as having ghost-sage writers create learning materials and sell them to other strange learners, but that was useless.
Only those who enroll in the schools he founded can be considered his students.
Therefore, he had no choice but to slowly and steadily build the academy and recruit strange students.
Secondly, there are the system points. I owed the system 260,000 points from the last battle. After completing the mission of unifying Chinatown, I was rewarded with one million system points and a chance to awaken the Ghost class.
The awakened Oni class is Oni Fighter, which only becomes Oni Saint Fighter after being boosted by the system... well, it's still just one word different...
This profession is clearly a combat profession, and Ling Tian is very satisfied with it, as it fully makes up for his lack of combat ability.
[Demon Saint Fighter: You are proficient in all combat techniques, not just limited to hand-to-hand combat. During battle, you will experience exhilarating excitement, enhancing your physical abilities and reflexes in every aspect.]
As for professional skills, there are still three as usual.
They are: Cross-border Battle, Freedom and Ultimate Instinct, and Bloodstained Rebirth.
Cross-border Battle: Activating this skill instantly raises your cultivation level by one small level, lasting until the end of the battle, with no side effects. (Unlocked after defeating 100 enemies; cannot exceed the world's maximum level.)
Ultimate Freedom: Upon activating this skill, you enter a state of supreme perfection. Except for targeted attacks and world-destroying strikes, no other attack can hit you. Furthermore, you can unleash 100% of your own power to launch attacks. (Unlocked after defeating 10,000 enemies.)
Rebirth Through Blood: The strong, in their rage, draw their blades against the stronger; the weak, in their rage, draw their blades against the weaker. After death, one is reborn in blood, resurrected on the spot, and their strength breaks through a major realm, potentially transcending world limitations. This effect can only occur once in a lifetime. (Unlocked after defeating one million enemies)
Of course, Ling Tian was quite shocked when he awakened this profession. As expected of a combat profession, its skills are ridiculously overpowered.
Especially the last one, the one that was reborn from the ashes, that was practically their trump card!
Regaining his composure, Ling Tian resumed overseeing the development of Chinatown.
After the world has settled into peace, various forces in the strange world are already stirring.
Especially on the day that authority appears.
All the strange things were in an uproar. They never expected that such a power over heaven and earth would appear outside, and that it was unclaimed!
At the time, many powerful figures from various factions rushed to seize it, and the result was predictable.
When they finally managed to win over other forces and went to seize power to merge with them, they discovered they were not qualified to do so.
Only then did I belatedly realize that one needs certain innate conditions to succeed.
But authority doesn't give them time to meet the conditions; once the world has stabilized, they disappear again.
Countless forces shook their heads and sighed, secretly lamenting the pity.
On the surface, they retreated in disgrace, but in secret, they had already begun plotting to annex other forces in their respective areas.
After all, they understood the conditions for the fusion of powers through close contact.
Therefore, while the world of eeriness appears calm on the surface, undercurrents are already surging beneath the surface.
While the major powers were still analyzing the situation with caution, the smaller powers had already begun to fight each other.
During this period, Ling Tian also continuously annexed nearby forces.
In the Chinatown area, he held an absolute dominant position, while other forces were nothing but small fry, either submitting or slinking away in disgrace.
