Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards

When these disciples dispersed, some went into the black tower to cultivate while others went home to rest, Wang Zhifan also returned to his own cultivation practice.

"It should be today. My Pure Yang True Skill is very likely to break through to a new realm today."

He had a feeling because he had been practicing this inner power continuously for several days and had already sensed the bottleneck. After multiple attempts to break through, he judged that the time for success was right in front of him.

But before he could settle into his cultivation, a shout filled with excitement came from below the underground palace, making him frown.

"I broke through! I broke through! I finally broke through!"

It was as if the speaker had obtained a great benefit and was so excitedly shouting like he had gone mad.

Wang Zhifan could tell from the voice that it was the last disciple he had taken under special exception, a young man named He Kuang, known as the Ultimate Saint of Gun Dao.

Feeling disturbed, he immediately flashed into the underground palace and spoke coldly to the beaming He Kuang:

"You brat, what is the matter with shouting and yelling here! Don’t you have any composure as a martial artist!"

"Master?! Master, I broke through! And it’s a direct breakthrough from Innate Fourth Layer to Innate Sixth Layer!"

Seeing Wang Zhifan coming to reprimand him, He Kuang initially looked solemn, then couldn’t help but burst with joy, clearly very happy about the leap in his cultivation realm.

"Hmm... You’re this happy about a realm upgrade, got no self-control at all? Then it seems I need to give you a special reward! You’ll be spending the night with the Demon Venerable in the tower tonight! You can come out when you’ve calmed down!"

"What? I have to fight the Demon Venerable?! Master, please no!!!"

Upon seeing He Kuang’s out-of-control and immensely punchable expression, Wang Zhifan grabbed him by the shoulder and threw him back into the black tower. He then immediately set restrictions to prevent him from freely leaving the tower, and inserted several Demon Venerable templates into his black tower space, allowing him to "enjoy" being "caressed" by several Demon Venerables in turns.

Of course, even though Wang Zhifan was displeased with He Kuang, he knew his limits. He set numerous self-restrictions for the Demon Venerable templates, ensuring they didn’t exert their full power; it was just to let He Kuang feel some pressure and torture so he would sober up. Otherwise, He Kuang would surely perish in the black tower.

"No self-control at all! Totally unaware of how to behave with low-key conduct! This kind of personality needs to be trained hard!"

Having seen through his spiritual connection with the black tower that the bewildered He Kuang was being surrounded by three terrifyingly aura-filled Demon Venerables, Wang Zhifan cursed a few more times before turning to leave the underground palace.

Afterwards, he cultivated in the main hall for a while, then sensed the Moon-Annihilating Dragon Saber slowly walking up from the underground palace, having evidently finished the routine Demon Venerable battle for the day.

"Her aura seems a bit more consolidated compared to yesterday... Looks like she made progress again..."

With his powerful perception, Wang Zhifan immediately judged that the Moon-Annihilating Dragon Saber was progressing each day with him, even though her progress wasn’t as exaggerated as He Kuang’s, she was a super innate-level existence, making continuous progress over a few days already deemed miraculous.

More satisfying for Wang Zhifan was that this girl didn’t have a flamboyant personality. Even after making progress, she knew to keep a low profile, never displaying her emotions, and was considerate of Wang Zhifan cultivating in the main hall, never causing any annoying noise to disturb him.

Sure enough, after only a while of meditative cultivation, Wang Zhifan sensed the Moon-Annihilating Dragon Saber walking lightly to the inner hall to wash up, changed out of her battle-worn clothes, and then returned to the main hall to sit cross-legged beside him, accompanying him in starting their monotonous cultivation together.

From recent exchanges with the Moon-Annihilating Dragon Saber, Wang Zhifan learned a bit about her cultivation.

For instance, the path she primarily cultivated was the Cyan Dragon True Spirit Dao, a very special path of cultivation that only the Mieyue Race could access in the Calamity Realm, and others couldn’t learn it even if they wanted to, due to bloodline restrictions.

The Moon-Annihilating Dragon Saber also cultivated martial arts, specializing in Dual Blade Skill, which was one of the reasons she got along with Wang Zhifan.

Both were martial artists and primarily practiced blade techniques, so their conversation topics were naturally rich, allowing mutual verification and progress.

Over the past few days of living together, their relationship had already become closer than ever before.

Wang Zhifan learned that the Moon-Annihilating Dragon Saber’s real name was Xi and that she was the granddaughter of an elder from the Mieyue Clan. Already at a super innate level, she was sure to become a mainstay within the clan in the future.

However, the Mieyue Clan didn’t only have her as a super innate individual at present. Given her youth, she didn’t have too much pressure and could freely wander and cultivate outside.

They sat like this in the main hall until late at night, until a moment when Wang Zhifan’s aura suddenly surged, marking that his Pure Yang True Skill had finally advanced to a new realm.

He immediately opened his personal panel to check and found that his progress was indeed very significant.

[Cultivation Technique: Great Dream Saber Scripture (Outstanding) Lv6, Wind and Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill (Outstanding) Lv3, Pure Yang True Skill (Outstanding) Lv3, Infinite Golden Body Skill (Outstanding) Lv0.]

[Constitution: 201.]

[Strength: 183.]

[Agility: 180.]

[Spirit: 193.]

"My average attributes have increased by a whopping 23 points! Constitution even broke through 200 points! After removing various attribute bonuses, the Pure Yang True Skill made my average attributes rise by approximately 20 points again! Unfortunately, such significant gains won’t happen again in the future, as the subsequent stages of Pure Yang True Skill will focus on enhancing the Pure Yang Overlord Body’s characteristics, as well as deeper power and longevity improvements, so attribute growth will be very minimal later on..."

Sighing inwardly, the breakthrough Wang Zhifan stood up from his meditation cushion, stretching to experience the sensation of his newly achieved Pure Yang Overlord Body.

This initial achievement of the overlord body was also an important gain from breaking through to Lv3 in Pure Yang True Skill; however, its characteristics weren’t shown on the panel.

He understood from the cultivation technique’s legacy that the owner of a Pure Yang Overlord Body was impervious to environmental changes, not just enhancing physical defense and endurance but also possessing extraordinary characteristics on the spiritual level, where various negative effects like fear, hallucination, unconsciousness, and intimidation would be significantly reduced or even immune.

These were merely the initial stage effects of the Pure Yang Overlord Body. If Wang Zhifan could continue to progress, higher-level Pure Yang Overlord Bodies could not only largely reduce or immunize physical and negative attacks but could also autonomously reflect them back to the attackers and provide team-wide bonuses similar to an "aura" for allies. It was certainly a very powerful type of physique.

However, for now, Wang Zhifan had no plan to continue delving into it. Due to the numerous effects of his equipment, his need for the Pure Yang Overlord Body was relatively low. It’s not that the Pure Yang Overlord Body wasn’t good, but that he already had similar things and was pondering higher cost-effective aspects instead.

As Wang Zhifan was flexing his muscles, the Dragon Maiden meditating beside him also ceased her cultivation, lifting her head to look at Wang Zhifan and asked with a hint of doubt:

"Daoist brother, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? But I felt like you just got stronger..."

Wang Zhifan continued shrugging and stretching as he replied:

"Not exactly unwell, just feeling a bit uneasy... Long Dao sister, could you help me out with a muscle-relaxing massage? I might have developed some minor issues from long-term meditation..."

"Sure, I learned bone-setting techniques within the clan, so I’ll try them on you, Daoist brother."

With that, the two of them walked towards the inner hall together.

In recent days, although the Moon-Annihilating Dragon Saber was staying in the inner hall, she wasn’t in the same room as Wang Zhifan, maintaining some personal space.

But this time might be different, certain boundaries might be broken, and their relationship might truly evolve.
