Seeing the prompt, Li Yuan also sat up excitedly: "System, can I specify which character to invite?"
"For example, could I directly pull in Meng Hongchen from Douluo 2, or Gu Yuena from Douluo 3?"
"Of course not! Host, the core principle of this System is random invitations. You can choose a Douluo World, and then the group chat will randomly select and invite someone."
Li Yuan shook his head helplessly.
It seemed shortcuts were still not an option.
He had originally thought that if he could invite randomly...
and managed to pull Meng Hongchen in, he could trick her a bit and scam a few powerful spirit tools from her. Wouldn't his self-preservation ability skyrocket then?
He might even get to experience something like: a young punk riding a ghost motorcycle, stopping under the Hongchen family's building: 'Hey, old man, is it safe to park my ghost bike under your place? It shouldn't affect me using your Hongchen family's spirit tools, right?'
Now, it seemed those plans were ruined.
After all, it's a random invitation. What if they pulled in some devil, like the crazy Ye Xishui?
If one wasn't careful, and she got recruited by Bibi Dong, and those two crazy women teamed up...
Then Li Yuan, along with the entire Douluo 1 World, would be utterly doomed!
After careful and thorough consideration, Li Yuan decided it was best to play it safe.
He silently chanted in his heart: "System, pull a character from Douluo 1 for me."
"Ding——!"
At the same time, in the Speed Clan.
Bai Chenxiang was wearing a neat training outfit. Even though she was drenched in fragrant sweat, she was still relentlessly performing high-speed shuttle sprints back and forth on the training field.
Gritting her teeth, she ran while quietly encouraging herself: "Grandfather, I refuse to end up like you, a pure agility-attack system Spirit Master for life, with nothing but speed and no offensive capabilities! I want to get stronger, to be able to both run and attack!"
Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks and froze.
Right in front of her, a small black Brick was floating in the air.
"Welcome to the Douluo Continent Chat and Mutual Aid Group!"
"Chat... mutual aid group?"
Bai Chenxiang blinked, her mind full of confusion: "What is this thing? Who sent it in?"
Her first instinct was to vigilantly look around. The training field was vast and empty, with no one else in sight except her.
She then leaped to a high point, scanning the distance as far as she could see, but still found no suspicious figures.
Bai Chenxiang immediately felt a bit panicked.
Could it be the work of Spirit Hall people?
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Chenxiang tremblingly picked up the Brick.
[Li Yuan: Everyone, come out @everyone, let's welcome our new group member!]
[Heaven Dou's Richest Little Rich Girl: Welcome new member to the chat group! (Throws confetti)]
[Loves Eating Carrots: Hehe, newbie, post a photo quickly!]
[Big Sister with a Vicious Heart: Newbie, don't listen to her nonsense. This group is anonymous. Never reveal your identity. Bibi Dong is in this group, her group name is 'The Yandere Maniac Beauty of the Spirit Hall'. If you expose yourself, this crazy woman really will find you in real life!]
[Little Fox Who Likes Teacher the Most: Nonsense! Newbie, don't listen to her rambling. As long as you don't insult my teacher, we won't just go around hitting people, okay?]
[Child Without Parents: Don't listen to those two. Newbie, don't be afraid. This is a proper chat and mutual aid group.]
Bai Chenxiang swallowed hard, her heart racing.
She roughly understood.
This seemed to be an anonymous chat group composed of strangers.
But, Bibi Dong was actually in the group?
Then she absolutely must not reveal her identity.
[Lonely All My Life: Thank you for the warning.]
[Loves Eating Carrots:!!!]
[Heaven Dou's Richest:!!!!!]
[Big Sister with a Vicious Heart: What's going on, group group? Is that name for real?]
[Child Without Parents: Damn! This is the first time I've seen a name even more tragic than mine!]
[Ice and Snow Smart: Speaking of which... have you all noticed that each of our group names seems to be somewhat related to our personal experiences or characteristics...? (Thoughtfully)]
[The Single Married Woman Who Runs the Academy: Seems that way... Although I really don't want to admit it, I am indeed a married woman.]
Blue Tyrant Academy.
Liu Erlong, wearing a thin silk shirt, was lazily reclining on the sofa, her voluptuous figure curves clearly visible.
Looking at the discussion in the group chat, she felt both angry and helpless.
The term 'married woman' originally had nothing to do with her!
It was all because of that damned Yu Xiaogang!
And that absurd past!
At this moment, Liu Erlong suddenly felt a bit of understanding, and even a bit of gratitude, towards her nominal father, Yu Luomian.
If he hadn't stepped in and forcibly stopped the wedding back then... she might have truly and muddle-headedly become Yu Xiaogang's wife.
That would have been a real tragedy!
The only thing she was thankful for now was that she was only nominally a 'married woman', not actually one.
[Lonely All My Life: Huh? Really? Then my name...]
Bai Chenxiang panicked.
Lonely All My Life?
Did this name foretell a miserable future life for her?
She hadn't done anything heinously evil, had she?
Why?
[Li Yuan: What's wrong with you all? Don't scare the newcomer. Newbie, don't be afraid for now. There's a group chat red packet above. You can claim it first. I'll explain about the group names to you all later.]
[Lonely All My Life: Okay, thank you, Group Owner brother. (Feeling slightly reassured)]
Bai Chenxiang followed the instructions and clicked on the sparkling red packet icon.
[Congratulations to Lonely All My Life for obtaining: Cloud-Ascending Vertical Leap x1!]
[Li Yuan: Holy crap!]
Sis, seriously?
You opened it?
One pull, one hit, directly getting the most precious Cultivation Technique?
[Heaven Dou's Richest Little Rich Girl: Aaaaaah! Why?! (Crying)]
[Loves Eating Carrots: Sigh... maybe, this is just our fate. (Expression of bitter fate)]
[Big Cat in the Dark Night: Actually, it's simply that your luck is too poor. (With a serious face, no ill intent)]
[Child Without Parents: That is indeed the case.]
Pfft——!
You guys are still adding insult to injury?
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, looking at the 'insult to injury' on the screen, felt their hearts pierced by two more arrows.
Can't you let people live?
Having bad luck is miserable enough, and now we're being publicly executed.
[Lonely All My Life: Um, what does this Cultivation Technique do?]
[Big Sister with a Vicious Heart: You can check the technique's description; it's in the chat history above.]
Bai Chenxiang hurriedly scrolled up and soon found the detailed explanation of 'Cloud-Ascending Vertical Leap'.
When she read the part about 'At the beginner level, practicing to achieve a body as light as a wild goose, with mysterious and peerless footwork'.
She instantly froze, her breathing quickening.
This... this is too amazing?!
Although she only vaguely understood the description of 'Major Achievement' later on.
But just the effects of the 'beginner level' were enough to captivate her, a pure agility-attack system Spirit Master!
Body as light as a swallow, mysterious footwork... wasn't this exactly the ability she dreamed of?
[The Yandere Maniac Beauty of the Spirit Hall: @Lonely All My Life, newcomer, I see you have extraordinary bones, a one-in-ten-thousand genius among Spirit Masters!]
[This Supreme Pontiff offers you a chance to pledge loyalty to Spirit Hall. As long as you present this Cultivation Technique, I can exceptionally promote you to Cardinal! How about it?]
Supreme Pontiff Palace.
The corners of Bibi Dong's lips curled up slightly, her face full of smugness.
Li Yuan, you don't want me to get the rewards, do you?
Going against me everywhere, right?
Fine, then I will get them!
I'll infuriate you!
Since I can't get them from the draws, I'll 'trick'... no, 'recruit' the newcomer!
Exchanging a Cardinal position for some unheard-of Cultivation Technique—by any measure, the newcomer is getting a huge deal.
She didn't believe the newcomer wouldn't be tempted.
[Lonely All My Life: Huh?]
Bai Chenxiang immediately felt like crying but had no tears.
Her newly acquired precious Cultivation Technique, not even warmed in her hands yet—was it about to be seized by the Spirit Hall Supreme Pontiff through coercion and temptation?
She was a member of the Speed Clan, after all.
Her relationship with Spirit Hall... was complicated!
