Xiao Wu condensed her own spirit ring, while Zhu Zhuqing absorbed hers.
In the end, it was Zhu Zhuqing who woke up first.
The first thing Zhu Zhuqing did upon waking up was to share her joy with Lu Chen: "Lu Chen, I know my true spirit power now. My spirit power has reached level 46. Aside from the one level of spirit power gained from absorbing the spirit ring, the narcissus jade muscle bone brought me an increase of seven levels of spirit power."
"My fourth Spirit Ability comes from the Ghost Tiger Spirit Beast’s Clone skill. It is called Nether Shadow Clone. After casting this Spirit Ability, I can create eight physical Clones, each possessing 80% of my strength."
"Because this was an absorption beyond my limits, there is also a hidden ability: when an enemy destroys my Clone, the dark energy that erupts from the Clone will attach to the enemy, reducing their defense by 10%."
"If the same enemy destroys all eight of my Clones in succession, the reduction effect on the enemy’s defense can reach 80%, which will make it easier for my main body to kill them in one strike."
Hearing the effects of this ability, Lu Chen discovered that it had an extra hidden ability compared to the original Nether Shadow Clone from the plot. He praised it unreservedly: "That is a very good ability. The essence of an Agility Attack Spirit Master lies in surprise and delivering a killing blow."
"Your Nether Shadow Clone not only allows the Clones to assist in battle, but they also reduce enemy defense after exploding, which will definitely put your enemies in a dilemma."
"If they don’t destroy your Clones, they will be caught in a siege. If they do destroy your Clones, their own defense will be significantly weakened, and they could be killed by you in one strike at any moment."
"Zhuqing, this ability is very suitable for you."
"Cultivate well. Once you Breakthrough to level 70 spirit power and absorb your Seventh Spirit Ring to become a Spirit Saint,"
"I will open a separate hall for you within my Longevity Sect. I will name it after your Spirit, calling it Nether Hall, and you will be the Hall Master."
"Nether Hall will recruit and train Agility Attack Spirit Masters, responsible for two areas of work. On one hand, it will be responsible for the protection of the Sect. If the Sect is attacked by enemies, your Agility Attack Spirit Masters in Nether Hall will fully utilize your speed advantage to launch a counterattack immediately and delay the enemy’s advance."
"On the other hand, it will be responsible for monitoring the interior of the Sect. Our Sect is still a makeshift operation, and I don’t completely trust those Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Disciples we’ve incorporated, so I need you to help me keep an eye on them. Once you discover any Disciples who are disloyal, Nether Hall will be responsible for hunting them down, or even killing them."
"Nether Hall will be a sharp sword in my hand. I have high hopes for both you and Nether Hall. Zhuqing, do not let me down."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing’s expression turned solemn. Her delicate face revealed determination and firmness. As if taking an oath, she said solemnly: "Lu Chen, I and my Nether Hall will definitely become that sharp sword in your hand. Whether it is external enemies or internal traitors, I will clear them all out for you!"
Lu Chen nodded with a smile.
Then, not knowing what he was thinking, he rubbed his chin and suddenly put on a straight face: "Hall Master Zhu, please address me by my title when working in the future."
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment. She looked at Lu Chen’s face; although he was expressionless, there was playfulness in his eyes. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she took the initiative to salute: "Yes, subordinate Zhu Zhuqing pays respects to Sect Master Lu!"
Lu Chen burst into laughter: "Good, good, good! Hall Master Zhu, no need for formalities!"
Role-playing is really interesting!
Is this bad taste?
No, this is romantic fun!
Hearing Lu Chen laugh, Zhu Zhuqing knew she had guessed correctly.
Normally, Lu Chen always gave people a sense of security and reliability, making Zhu Zhuqing habitually view him as someone to rely on.
Now that Lu Chen had finally revealed a playful side, Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips and smiled. As long as Lu Chen wanted to play, she could accompany him at any time.
Emotional value is also value; in Zhu Zhuqing’s heart, as long as it could make Lu Chen happy, she was willing to bravely try.
Just at this moment, Xiao Wu also successfully condensed her Fifth spirit ring and opened her eyes, waking up. She asked with some confusion: "What Sect Master, what Hall Master? What were you two talking about just now?"
Seeing Xiao Wu wake up, Lu Chen smiled and explained to her: "I plan to open a hall for Zhuqing in my Longevity Sect, named Nether Hall, to recruit and train Agility Attack Spirit Masters. I will entrust Zhuqing and Nether Hall with important responsibilities in the future."
Xiao Wu’s eyes grew brighter and brighter as she listened. She immediately jumped up from the ground, her tone filled with longing, and she said coquettishly: "Boss Lu Chen... no, Sect Master Lu, Zhuqing is the Hall Master of Nether Hall, so what position do you plan to arrange for me?"
Hearing this, Lu Chen put on a thoughtful expression and did not answer Xiao Wu’s question for a long time.
Xiao Wu eagerly stepped forward, came to Lu Chen’s side, raised her small hand, made it into a fist, and gently pounded on Lu Chen’s shoulder with a flattering smile: "Sect Master Lu, I am not bad either!"
"After absorbing Yearning Heartbroken Red, my spirit power increased by ten levels, and I have now Breakthrough to level 51 spirit power."
"Moreover, because my physical fitness has greatly increased, the age of my Fifth spirit ring has reached the level of 20,000 years, which is even stronger than the Sixth spirit ring of many Spirit Emperors."
"My Fifth Spirit Ability is called Soft Bones Lock. After casting this Spirit Ability, I can significantly increase my physical strength and use soft techniques to lock the enemy. Unless their spirit power is more than double mine, it is impossible for them to break free from my Soft Bones Lock."
After listening to Xiao Wu’s introduction, Lu Chen helplessly expressed his opinion: "Look at you, as a Power Attack Spirit Master, your Fifth Spirit Ability is actually a control Spirit Ability. Although the effect is indeed good, it does not improve your attack ability."
"However, with Chen Xin’s Aurora Blade Left Arm Bone and the Star-Shattering Flash Right Leg Bone, it is enough to make up for your lack of attack ability."
"With these two Spirit Bones, you are a genuine Power Attack Spirit Master."
"Alright, I opened Nether Hall for Zhuqing; in the future, I will also open a hall for you in the Longevity Sect. I will name it after your Spirit, calling it Soft Bones Hall."
"Soft Bones Hall will recruit and train Power Attack Spirit Masters to serve as the main combat force within the Sect. In any future battles against enemies, your Soft Bones Hall will be the main force of the Longevity Sect."
"Xiao Wu, I have great expectations for you and your Soft Bones Hall. Do not let me down."
"You and Zhuqing are both my right-hand assistants, and Nether Hall and Soft Bones Hall will also be the two major pillars of our Longevity Sect in the future."
Xiao Wu felt very distressed when she heard Lu Chen evaluate her Fifth Spirit Ability as lacking attack power.
After all, her main body was just a Soft Bones Rabbit. In the Star Dou Great Forest, she was not a Spirit Beast with a powerful Bloodline. Being able to grow all the way to a 100,000-year Spirit Beast relied on her survival abilities being strong enough.
But in the end, hearing that Lu Chen still established Soft Bones Hall for her and let her Soft Bones Hall recruit and train Power Attack Spirit Masters to serve as the main combat force of the Longevity Sect, Xiao Wu was overjoyed.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, she was the boss of Da Ming and Er Ming. Back in Dorm Seven, she was also the second-in-command after Boss Lu Chen.
Xiao Wu liked the feeling of being surrounded by followers, so she happily agreed: "Yes, subordinate Xiao Wu pays respects to Sect Master Lu. I and my Soft Bones Hall will definitely not let Sect Master Lu down."
