Bibi Dong's question was like a splash of cold water, instantly extinguishing everyone's anger and replacing it with a chill rising from their hearts.
Indeed.
How did the Group Owner know?
Not only did he know, but he was also clear and logical, as if he had witnessed the entire process with his own eyes.
This had already surpassed the realm of "intelligence."
This was simply... omniscience!
[My Cat is White and Big: Group Master, I'm afraid you really are a super expert who has reached the level of omniscience and omnipotence.]
In Heaven Dou City, inside the hotel where Shrek Academy was temporarily staying.
In an elegant guest room, Zhu Zhuqing sat on the edge of the bed, looking at this line of text on the screen, her expression shifting.
Her figure was curvaceous and extremely well-developed.
The black tight leather suit outlined her stunning curves perfectly; her slender waist was so narrow it seemed one could wrap a hand around it, creating a strong visual impact against her proud bust and perky buttocks.
Her jet-black long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, making her already fair skin appear even more translucent.
At this moment, a glimmer of thought flashed in her purple cat-like eyes, which usually held a sense of distance and alertness.
Born into the Star Luo Empire's imperial family, she had been accustomed to conspiracies and deception since childhood.
She understood better than anyone what intelligence and strength meant.
And this mysterious Group Owner, "Heavenly Emperor Lu," possessed both.
He not only had terrifying intelligence capabilities that could overturn the continent's perceptions but also possessed god-like means to resurrect Spirit Beasts and allow people to become gods.
Such a person...
Zhu Zhuqing lightly bit her lower lip as a thought quickly took shape in her mind.
Dai Mubai couldn't be relied on, and she didn't want to return to that home in the Star Luo Empire.
To escape her fate, she needed a more powerful backer.
Wasn't there a ready-made one right in front of her?
"Though it's a bit shameful... anyway, no one knows who I am."
She whispered to herself, building up her psychological resolve.
Then, she extended her slender fingers and tapped quickly on the screen, sending out that slightly flattering message.
Meanwhile.
In the cultivation room of Blue Tyrant Academy.
Lu Ming was watching the shift in the group's atmosphere with interest, along with Zhu Zhuqing's suddenly flattering comment.
Just then, a series of cold, mechanical notification sounds rang out in his mind.
[Ding! The Group Owner has successfully shared the story "Tang Hao's Conspiracy," guiding group members to think. Chat Group activity has reached its peak!]
[Ding! Group mission "Expose the Hypocrite" has been completed!]
[Ding! Starting to distribute mission rewards!]
The next moment, an indescribable, vast energy appeared out of thin air within Lu Ming's body.
Boom!
Lu Ming felt as if his entire body had been thrown into a furnace, a scorching current of air washing wildly through his meridians.
His spirit power, which had been stagnant at level twenty-six, began to climb at a terrifying speed!
Level twenty-seven!
Level twenty-eight!
Level twenty-nine!
...
Bottlenecks? Non-existent!
The incredibly solid level thirty barrier was as fragile as a sheet of window paper before this energy—one poke and it broke!
Level thirty!
Level thirty-one!
Level thirty-two!
...
The momentum of his spirit power growth didn't weaken at all, charging forward until it slowly stopped at a brand-new height.
Level thirty-six!
Lu Ming slowly opened his eyes, feeling the spirit power surging like a river within him, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
One mission, and his spirit power soared by ten levels!
This golden finger is truly powerful!
But it wasn't over yet.
[Ding! Reward "God-bestowed ten-thousand-year spirit ring" has been distributed!]
As soon as the words fell, a black ring appeared out of thin air above Lu Ming's head.
The ring's color was deep, as if carved from the purest crystal, with mysterious golden patterns flowing over it, emitting a holy aura that didn't belong to the mortal world.
It slowly descended, finally settling onto Lu Ming's Blue Silver Grass Spirit, becoming his third spirit ring.
The entire process was incredibly smooth, without any pain or rejection, as if this spirit ring had always belonged to him.
[Ding! Rewards for the techniques "Innate Skill," "Lingbo Microsteps," and "One Yang Finger" have been distributed!]
Instantly, three massive streams of information flooded into Lu Ming's mind.
They weren't unfamiliar words, but rather like innate instincts.
The energy circulation method of Innate Skill, the footwork variations of Lingbo Microsteps, the power secrets of One Yang Finger... everything was deeply imprinted in his soul, allowing him to use them at any time as easily as his own limbs.
Lu Ming slowly stood up and clenched his fists.
Strength, an unprecedented strength filled his body.
He knew that from this moment on, he was no longer the youth with a trash Spirit and low strength who needed Liu Erlong's protection.
Tang San? Shrek?
When they came to Blue Tyrant Academy, they would find that there was an existence here they couldn't possibly imagine.
After the vast energy wash, the changes within Lu Ming's body didn't stop there.
[Ding! Detected that the host's Spirit is Blue Silver Grass, meeting the evolution conditions!]
[Ding! Reward "Spirit Origin Evolution" has been distributed!]
The system notification rang out again, and this time, it brought a transformation even more heart-pounding than the ten-level jump in spirit power.
His Spirit, that ordinary Blue Silver Grass, emerged from his palm on its own.
Rings of golden patterns, like living things, climbed up along the blue blades of grass.
Wherever they passed, the originally weak leaves became tough and broad, and the entire plant was tinged with a noble purple hue.
A pressure originating from deep within the bloodline rose from this small stalk of grass.
It wasn't the pressure brought by spirit power, but a leap in the level of life, a natural dominion of a monarch over his subjects.
The original Blue Silver Grass was seen everywhere on the Douluo Continent and was the most lowly of trash Spirits.
But at this moment, the one in Lu Ming's palm exuded an imperial aura—noble, ancient, and filled with boundless vitality.
Blue Silver Emperor!
This was Ah Yin's true form, the pinnacle of plant-type Spirits!
Lu Ming closed his eyes, carefully taking stock of his gains.
spirit power, jumping from level twenty-six to level thirty-six Spirit Elder, directly crossing a major realm.
spirit ring, the third spirit ring was a God-bestowed ten-thousand-year spirit ring, absorbed perfectly without any hidden dangers.
Such a configuration couldn't be found even among the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.
The Spirit had ascended from the trash Blue Silver Grass to the top-tier Blue Silver Emperor; its future growth potential was limitless.
Not to mention the three ultimate techniques in his mind that he had already mastered.
Innate Skill allowed his spirit power recovery speed and purity to far exceed ordinary people.
Lingbo Microsteps gave him ghost-like movement.
One Yang Finger gave him a powerful single-point burst Spirit Ability.
"Whew..."
Lu Ming let out a long breath of turbid air, a smile appearing on his face.
This feeling of becoming rich overnight was truly intoxicating.
"It seems that exposing the dirty laundry of the Shrek bunch is indeed a broad and smooth path,"
he thought to himself.
