Hu Liena naturally welcomed Yuan Qiqi's arrival.
Not only was Yuan Qiqi already someone she knew, but Hu Liena had long felt that Yin Zhang was far too busy and constantly occupied. Having another trusted companion around seemed like a good thing to her.
Yin Zhang had originally been worried about how to explain Yuan Qiqi's existence to Hu Liena, but seeing her reaction, he finally relaxed.
As expected of Hu Liena.

Yuexuan.
Yin Zhang slowly stepped through the entrance and immediately saw numerous students practicing noble etiquette.
He paid little attention to them.
His purpose for coming here was clear.
Tang Yuehua.
As Spirit Hall accelerated its plans, the existence of the world's number one sect, the Clear Sky Sect, became increasingly difficult to ignore.
"Clear Sky Sect..." Yin Zhang let out a faint chuckle.
He was no stranger to Tang Yuehua.
Several years ago, he had visited Yuexuan alongside Qian Gu Yunying and completed a mutually beneficial deal with Ning Fengzhi.
It was during that visit that he first met Tang Yuehua.
Walking up to a steward, Yin Zhang said directly,
"Where is your Pavilion Master? I need to speak with her."
The steward glanced at him.
"If you wish to meet the Pavilion Master, you must make an appointment first."
"An appointment?"
Yin Zhang smiled helplessly.
A surge of spiritual power spread outward from him.
"There you are."
Ignoring the steward's attempts to stop him, he headed upstairs.

Inside a quiet room, Tang Yuehua was reading.
The door suddenly opened.
She immediately stood up, her eyes filled with vigilance.
Although she held a respected position within Heaven Dou City, she understood her own limitations better than anyone.
Her soul power was only level nine.
She possessed no soul rings and no soul skills.
Against a true Soul Master, she had virtually no means of resistance.
"Who are you?" Tang Yuehua asked cautiously. "Why have you come to Yuexuan?"
Yin Zhang raised a hand.
"There's no need to be nervous, Pavilion Master Tang."
He smiled.
"We've met before. Several years ago, here at Yuexuan."
Tang Yuehua studied him carefully.
A moment later, realization dawned on her face.
"I remember now. You were the young man who came to see Sect Master Ning."
"Exactly."
Tang Yuehua frowned.
"What does Spirit Hall want with me?"
Yin Zhang glanced toward the doorway, where several people were already approaching after hearing the commotion.
Understanding his meaning, Tang Yuehua dismissed the students and attendants before closing the door behind her.
Only then did she turn back toward him.
"Speak."
Yin Zhang smiled.
"The reason I've come is very simple."
"I want to know how you normally communicate with the Clear Sky Sect."
The question was straightforward.
Tang Yuehua's expression immediately changed.
Before arriving at Yuexuan, Yin Zhang had already visited the Heaven Dou Spirit Hall Branch and spoken with Salas.
According to Salas, Tang Yuehua had always maintained contact with the Clear Sky Sect, though the exact method remained unknown.
This connection was likely one of the reasons the secluded Clear Sky Sect could still stay informed about events across the continent.
Tang Yuehua pursed her lips.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Is that so?"
Yin Zhang smiled.
"If Spirit Hall wanted information, there are many ways to obtain it."
Tang Yuehua snorted.
"Then your trip here was wasted."
Seeing her reaction, Yin Zhang merely smiled.
At that moment, a familiar notification appeared in his mind.

[System Update Complete]
Yin Zhang paused.
A system update?
That was a first.
[The system has been upgraded into a Lottery System. Rewards from future tasks will be randomized.]
[As compensation for the update, the host has received one free lottery draw. Would you like to use it?]
A lottery?
Yin Zhang was intrigued.
"System, what's the reward pool?"
[No upper limit. No lower limit. Rewards depend entirely on the host's luck.]
"..."
Yin Zhang was speechless.
Still, a free draw was a free draw.
"Draw."
[Lottery commencing.]
[Lottery complete. Congratulations!]
[Reward Obtained: Flame-Splitting Devouring Wave.]
[Origin: Battle Through the Heavens.]
[Power comparable to a 100,000-year soul skill. Can be taught to others.]
Yin Zhang's eyes widened slightly.
Flame-Splitting Devouring Wave!
One of the famous techniques from Battle Through the Heavens.
He had not expected to draw something like this.
However, a problem immediately came to mind.
That technique was originally designed for users wielding heavy rulers.
None of the people around him used such a weapon.
As if reading his thoughts, the system responded.
[System Modification Complete.]
[The technique has been adapted to fit the cultivation system of Douluo Continent.]
[Flame-Splitting Devouring Wave has been converted into a soul-skill-like ability. No weapon requirements are necessary.]
Yin Zhang immediately understood.
If that was the case, then this skill would be perfect for Hu Liena.
Compared to powerhouses such as Yuan Qiqi and Qian Gu Yunying, Hu Liena currently needed powerful offensive abilities far more.
A smile appeared on his face.
It seemed this trip had yielded an unexpected harvest.
