"Thank you, Alliance Leader."
Fang Xian bowed slightly, expressing his gratitude, before softly making one last request.
"Alliance Leader, I have a favor to ask."
"Go ahead."
"My wives aren't core disciples. Could you give us a few rooms so we can all live together?"
"Sure."
Wu Lingtian knew that powerful figures on Blue Star could have multiple wives and concubines. For a genius like Fang Xian, having several wives was normal.
"Which ones are your wives? I'll have Yunlong arrange it for you."
Fang Xian smiled slightly, pointing to the women and introducing them with a smile.
"Alliance Leader, these 22 women are all my—wives."
Zhao Yunlong shook his head and smiled wryly.
The other members were full of questions, thinking they had misheard.
Wu Lingtian narrowed his handsome phoenix eyes and asked again.
"You said they are all your wives?"
"Yes, that's right."
The women stepped forward in unison, bowing slightly, their tone certain.
"Alliance Leader, we are indeed all Fang Xian's wives, legally married."
Wu Lingtian frowned slightly. She never imagined that 22 stunning beauties, each a top-tier businesswoman on Blue Star, would all be willing to marry the same man. It was simply unbelievable.
She couldn't help but scrutinize Fang Xian again, trying to discern what it was about him that made him so charming.
Fang Xian remained composed, a faint smile on his handsome face as he met Wu Lingtian's gaze.
Wu Lingtian looked at Fang Xian, admiring his courage.
Moreover, she saw not a trace of greed in Fang Xian's eyes, which impressed her even more.
Many men in the past had harbored a subtle greed in their eyes when they saw her, especially the young lord of Asia City, who had dared to covet her 20 years ago.
In contrast, Fang Xian's gaze was much purer.
If Fang Xian wasn't a master actor, then it was very likely that he had so many stunning beauties that he had reached a state of complete indifference towards any of them.
If that were the case, Wu Lingtian's pride was stirred slightly.
She looked at Zhao Yunlong and softly instructed.
"Yunlong, take them to the back hall. They can choose any room there."
"Yes."
Seeing Wu Lingtian's agreement, Zhao Yunlong turned and led them away.
Fang Xian and the others bowed slightly and slowly departed.
Wu Lingtian watched Fang Xian's retreating figure, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, lost in thought.
...
Dragon Alliance, Back Hall.
As Zhao Yunlong led Fang Xian and the others to their quarters, he joked:
"Brother Fang Xian, I didn't expect you to be so unassuming, even possessing a 'golden skill'."
Fang Xian smiled slightly and replied modestly.
"Brother Zhao, you're joking. It was just good luck."
"Timing, location, and people—all are indispensable. Luck can play a crucial role at key moments."
"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Zhao. By the way, Brother Zhao, I don't think my 'golden skill' is particularly powerful. Is the 'golden skill' really that important?"
"You're new here, so naturally you don't know the uniqueness of the 'golden skill.'"
Zhao Yunlong intended to establish a good relationship with Fang Xian, patiently explaining as they walked.
Through Zhao Yunlong's explanation, Fang Xian understood the reason.
After level 100, you gain a "skill slot" every 20 levels. Reaching level 1000 grants 45 skill slots.
With limited skill slots, it's crucial to ensure the quality of your "skill books," as they cannot be changed once learned.
"White skills" are considered exceptional, "blue skills" are mediocre, and "black skills" represent the best skills achievable by ordinary players.
As for "gold skills," they are extremely rare and highly sought after.
Most importantly, mastering 10 "gold skills" unlocks an additional skill that doesn't occupy a skill slot:
a "red skill."
"Red skills" are among the most powerful skills in the world. The stronger your 10 "gold skills," the stronger the unlocked "red skill."
For the top figures in the world, the pursuit is naturally the ten strongest "gold skills."
This has led to the annihilation of many families or clans possessing top-tier "gold skills."
Yukino, Suzaku, and Qinglong trembled upon hearing this.
The reason their clans were wiped out was very likely because some powerful figure needed to unlock a top-tier "red skill," which led to their ruthless attack.
Fang Xian sensed their unease and immediately transmitted three streams of warm "spiritual energy" to them, calming their emotions.
At this moment, they gained a new understanding of the Great Thousand World.
The cruelty of the Great Thousand World was far greater than they had imagined.
From now on, they must be extremely cautious.
Just now, he almost exposed himself, and the reason was…
