Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Return

After a while

“It’s still not enough…”

Ye Mingqiu furrowed his brows, looking at his equipment panel. In terms of armor, it was nearly complete: gauntlets, armor, skirt armor, greaves, and battle boots, all replaced with Bronze Level gear.

But as for accessories…

[Bronze Ring][Blood Crystal Necklace][Black Cloak][Cyan-Faced Fangs]

Only four items, and the Black Cloak was still Black Iron Level, with a lot of room for improvement.

However, this was normal. Compared to armor that primarily provides defense and only adds a small amount of attributes, accessories offer more attribute enhancement and are greatly beneficial to Spiritualists in the early stages.

Conversely, the drop rate for accessory-type gear is much lower than that of armor and weapon types, and it’s common for Spiritualists to not have accessories.

“Sigh~ I still haven’t opened enough treasure chests.”

Ye Mingqiu sighed, casually setting his equipment to normal concealment.

Normal concealment means in the real world, where equipment is hidden when not in combat mode, while still benefiting from equipment attributes, making daily life more convenient. Otherwise, wearing armor everywhere is too cumbersome and attention-grabbing.

Of course, there are those like Tang Ruobing who don’t hide and wear their magic robes openly, but that’s because the status of the magic system is special. Displaying it can save her a lot of trouble in life.

After finishing this, Ye Mingqiu sat cross-legged in the boundless starry sky, feeling the process of profession baptism, sensing the gradual filling of power within him, while the embryonic form and experience of Professional Skills constantly accumulated and resonated in his mind.

Profession baptism is a process. It doesn’t complete immediately when notifications appear. The duration of this process depends on the strength of the profession itself; the stronger the profession, the longer it takes to imbue the professional energy.

And as the War Tyrant is a Legendary Level, the profession’s strength is extremely high, so the baptism time will surely not be short.

After all, the profession baptism includes an attribute increase of 20 points, professional skills, and the transformation efficiency of life and constitution, and it can’t possibly be completed in a short period.

….

[Notification: Profession baptism completed]

[Your current level is Level 1 at 40%]

After a long time, the baptism finally completed, and Ye Mingqiu’s physique changed. His body became more robust, his muscles more symmetrical and powerful.

“Such powerful strength.”

Ye Mingqiu thought to himself.

He clenched his fist, able to feel the overwhelmingly exuberant power surging within, and his life force was elevated to an unimaginable degree, far surpassing his former self.

Brand new Professional Skills, new skill insights, and a massive attribute enhancement already allowed him to step into a new realm. He felt he could effortlessly crush the self he was before completing the profession baptism.

[Please name your codename]

Codename?

Ye Mingqiu thought briefly: “Divine Monarch.”

[Naming successful]

[You have acquired the codename: Divine Monarch]

[Title module unlocked]

[You acquired the title: God of Slaughter]

God of Slaughter

Level: ★★★★★

Effect ①: Wearing the title causes extremely powerful intimidation to all Spirit Realm natives, greatly impacting negotiations.

Effect ②: Training/using killing intent and blood qi skills increases efficiency/effectiveness by 50%.

Description: Ironclad evidence of slaughter.

Ye Mingqiu looked at the God of Slaughter title, a smile slowly spreading across his face. Five-star titles are valuable, and acquiring titles is far more challenging than acquiring equipment skills. Most people can’t get a title, let alone a five-star one.

But he dared not wear it casually, as this title is quite different from Tang Ruobing’s Nation Destroyer; while hers signifies the destruction of one nation, his God of Slaughter title would announce loudly:

I once slaughtered with abandon in Spirit Realm trials!

Slaughtered enough to earn the God of Slaughter title in the Spirit Realm!

Seeing this title likely changes others’ perspectives significantly.

Ye Mingqiu isn’t one to shy away from trouble, but he’d rather avoid unnecessary trouble for now. His level is still too low; he should at least increase his level and have enough power and assurance before confidently flaunting the God of Slaughter title. Steady!

Finally, taking a look at the panel.

Codename: Divine Monarch

Title: Not worn

Life: 654

Spiritual Energy: 90

Basic Attributes: [Power: 20, Agility: 17.1, Constitution: 15.4, Spirit: 18]

Talents: Spiritual Power – Fullness, Spiritual Power – Limit Breaking, Spiritual Power – Enchantment, Unrivaled Divine Valor

Professional Skills: War Roar lv2, Indestructible lv3, Undying Tyrant lv3, Violent Crush lv2, Furious Pursuit lv2 (Detailed information in a separate Chapter, won’t elaborate here to pad word count)

Universal Skills: None

Skill Understanding: Killing Intent Fluctuation

Specialty: Long Weapon Specialty lv2, Riding Talent lv1

Excellent! Immense improvement in strength!

Even if encountering Dominator Level units, I can now… die with a bit more dignity.

But it’s alright. He’s just completed the profession baptism, at the initial Level 1. With another two Spirit Realm trials, boosting his strength and improving basic attributes in the Spirit Realm, he can become stronger, moving closer to Dominator Level.

Return

….

The familiar sensation of temporal dislocation emerged. When Ye Mingqiu regained his senses again, he found himself back home. The time flow in the Spirit Realm differs from reality, even though more than a day has passed in the Spirit Realm, only two hours have elapsed in reality.

He sat on the bed, the bedside table still holding the recently used Nolong Potion.

The dim glow seeped into the room, casting a shadow on the blue bedding. The regular ticking of the old clock resonated, while curtains still swayed silently, unchanged.

What changed was only him returning to this home after participating in Spirit Realm trials.

Ye Mingqiu suddenly felt a bit cold, even though having become a Spiritualist with powerful strength, he sensed an indescribable chill.

He casually picked up the cup on the table, drinking a large mouthful of water, his initial excitement seemingly diminished.

“I should be used to it by now.”

Ye Mingqiu muttered to himself, self-deprecatingly smiling.

“Ding~ Ding Ding~”

Just then, a familiar ringtone sounded in Ye Mingqiu’s ears, the special notification sound.

Light returned to his eyes, dispelling the gloom, as he quickly picked up the communication device.

Broken Ice Sugar: Are you there?

Broken Ice Sugar: Hmm?

Broken Ice Sugar: ?

Broken Ice Sugar: Are you there?

…

There were many messages in the communication device, a total of 18, averaging one every five minutes, continuously for over two hours, ceasing only just now. If he didn’t reply, who knows how long they’d continue.

Ye Mingqiu suddenly recalled how Tang Ruobing seemed to be watching over him these past days, as if confirming something.

Until yesterday, she intentionally said: Spirit Realm trials are important; never enter unprepared. Being in good spirits often yields better results in trials.

It was precisely because of her words that Ye Mingqiu took an extra day of rest, getting into the best condition to face the full-day survival battle.

Thinking back now, perhaps she was using some means to probe my basic attributes?
