Chapter 74: Galo and Wu Zetian List Each Other, Bibi Dong Breaks Down!
[Martial Soul Quality Ranking, 7th Place: Ming Huiyi]
[Owner Representative: Wu Zetian (Skin 'Divine Artifact Radiant Emblem')]
[Represents the faction: Chang'an City]
[Evaluation: A god-tier offensive/defensive/support weapon spirit. The foremost of the three ancient divine artifacts, its inscription reads "Suppress evil, safeguard peace, and ensure eternal tranquility." Its core abilities are exorcising evil and controlling the overall situation. It possesses three ultimate attributes: holiness, light, and purification. Wherever its light shines, it dispels demonic energy. Furthermore, it can summon an ancient holy light dragon to circle and protect itself.]
Most importantly, it allows the user to survey the world within a few thousand meters, and can also assist allies in doing so. Furthermore, it can simultaneously attack all enemies within a few thousand meters. This is a divine power unmatched by any other martial soul known to the Heavenly Dao, making it an unparalleled and supreme existence!
[Super Bonus]:
[I. Supreme Treasure: Book of Devouring Gods, Exclusive Divine Equipment Fragment [Glory Collection: Nyx's Oracle] x5 (Collect 10 to synthesize Awakening)]
[II. Soul Power level increases by one level, all Soul Ring age increases by 15,000 years, and a self-adapting perfect Soul Ring is obtained (if the Soul Rings are already full, the age of all Soul Rings will be increased by another 15,000 years)]
[Additional Reward (Cultivating talent within the faction, receiving a gift from Heaven, to be claimed by the faction leader): High-grade treasure - Mystic Boots!]
Yet another person from Chang'an has made the list...
Most people can't remember how many times they've been on the list.
They had become somewhat numb, but upon seeing it clearly, another uproar erupted:
"Another ultimate holy light attribute, this one comes with a purifying effect!"
"My God! Simultaneously strike all enemies within a few kilometers? You're not seeing things, are you? All of them!"
"What other tricks are there in Chang'an?! First there was the poisonous milk, then the infinite resurrection, and now... they're really going crazy killing!"
...
Wuhun City, Papal Palace.
"What? Another ultimate holy light attribute!"
Having just calmed down, Bibi Dong suddenly stood up again.
This one also has purifying properties, making it 100% effective against her!
Not to mention its wide-area, global strike capability; it's practically a weapon of mass destruction in war!
"Gurgle~!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei instinctively swallowed.
Especially the Ghostly Demon, whose martial soul also fears Holy Purification!
If they weren't forced to, they would never dare to be enemies with Chang'an!
Hu Liena stared blankly at the reactions of her teacher and the two elders, muttering to herself in disbelief:
"The fact that our teacher and the two grandfathers are like this shows that Chang'an is truly not to be trifled with..."
Bibi Dong, now nearing quasi-godhood, naturally heard clearly and said authoritatively:
"Don't boost others' morale while diminishing your own! Let's stay calm and continue watching!"
"This Pope wants to see just what other demons and monsters lurk in Chang'an!"
...
Chang'an City.
Inside the Great Wall.
Jialuo was a member of the Chang'an Guard.
Their daily duty is to inspect the internal situation.
After completing the round of inspections, he saw that he was on the list.
"Huh, I finally made the list too. Hmm... I can't even get into the top five?!"
Although Jialuo appears weak, her competitive spirit and tenacity are no less than those of Hua Mulan, so she naturally feels somewhat resentful.
"Boom—"
Soon, a golden beam of light, carrying the reward, descended and precisely enveloped her.
"Such pure energy!"
Galo's slender body trembled slightly as her level 97 soul power barrier shattered, reaching level 98.
Originally, the Soul Ring configuration was eight black and one red, but after the upgrade, it became six black and three red, and the user gained an additional supreme treasure:
"Superior Treasure - Shadow Blade: Equipping or absorbing it permanently increases physical attack by 10%, attack speed by 35%, critical strike chance by 20%, and movement speed by 5%. Passive - Storm [After a critical strike, increases attack speed by 20% and movement speed by 5% for 3.5 seconds]!"
As for the fragments of divine equipment, they were imprinted in her spiritual sea, and once ten were collected, they could be combined to awaken.
"What a powerful treasure!!"
Galo could not hide her joy and without hesitation fused it into her own martial soul.
"Only by becoming stronger can I catch up with the City Lord and attract his attention more..."
She murmured to herself with a fascinated and determined look in her eyes, and it was not hard to tell from her words that she also had special feelings for the city lord.
...
Chang'an City, Jingxin Palace.
In a dimly lit inner room with candles lit.
"Lord City Lord~Ye Han~~Hmm~~~"
Wu Zetian wore only half a silk robe and curled up alone on the bed.
While doing as she pleased, she gave him a seductive, alluring look:
"Don't you really miss me? It's been two and a half years... a full two and a half years since you last came to see me..."
"I've missed you so much... Waaah~~!"
Finally, after a violent shudder, she reluctantly got up.
"I'm on the list too? Heh, interesting."
"Although the ranking is not good, the reward is very much to my liking!"
Wu Zetian looked up at the sky and nodded slightly in satisfaction.
Despite being under house arrest for two and a half years, her ambitions seemed to have not diminished at all, but rather swelled even more.
He's even started referring to himself as "朕" (Zhen, the imperial "I")!
"Boom—"
A golden beam of light, carrying the reward, descended and instantly enveloped her.
Wu Zetian finally broke through the bottleneck of level 97, which she had been stuck at for many years, and reached level 98!
The original eight black and one red spirit ring configuration was upgraded to six black and three red, and the user gained an additional supreme treasure:
"Superior Treasure - Book of Devouring Gods: Carrying or absorbing it permanently increases spell vamp by 25%, spell attack by 10%, and health by 5%. Passive - Spell Conversion [Every 2% spell vamp provides an additional 1% cooldown reduction]!"
"A vampire book? It seems quite fitting for me."
Wu Zetian murmured wickedly, unable to help but recall the past...
Her cultivation level was initially similar to Shangguan Wan'er's, but she made rapid progress by consuming Ye Han's chaotic energy.
Indeed, Ye Han possesses a martial soul related to chaos; it's not the core of the Ark, but a much stronger one.
Wu Zetian would secretly devour Ye Han whenever he used that martial spirit to cultivate, and sometimes she would even devour it openly.
In the background story of the game, she is a genius disciple of Jiang Ziya in the demonic path, and naturally she has learned the cultivation of absorbing the power of chaos.
Ye Han discovered that she was absorbing the energy, but since it didn't affect him much, he tacitly allowed it.
Over time, she became increasingly demanding, which is why she dared to plot to drug and force herself on him.
She had assumed Ye Han would continue to tolerate and indulge her as before, but she never expected things to go wrong, and she's been under house arrest ever since...
"Now that I have achieved a breakthrough, will he come to see me?"
Wu Zetian gazed towards the direction of the city lord's mansion, her beautiful eyes gradually filled with longing and melancholy.
She didn't regret her decision back then, only that she hadn't figured out that Ye Han was immune to all poisons, otherwise she would have definitely used hallucinations instead!
...
Behind the City Lord's Mansion in Chang'an City.
The moment when Jialuo and Wu Zetian received their rewards.
Ye Han immediately received the additional reward:
"Superior Grade Treasure: Swift Boots: Wearing or absorbing this item permanently increases attack speed by 20% and movement speed by 10%. Passive: Rapid Recovery [Attacks dealing damage to enemies randomly restore a small amount of health to yourself]!"
"Superior-grade Treasure: Arcane Boots: Wearing or absorbing this item permanently increases Soul Power by 15% and Movement Speed by 10%. Passive: Spell Mastery [Attacks randomly deal a small amount of spell penetration, and restore a small amount of Soul Power every 5 seconds]!"
Two pairs of boots, both of which are extremely rare!
A must-have in King of Glory, it's often more effective than big-item items!
At this moment, Shangguan Wan'er mustered her courage and continued what she had just been interrupted about:
"My lord, Wan'er has actually long harbored feelings for you..."
