The barrage was oddly silent for a few seconds, and then a series of long comments came flooding in!

Without exception, they were full of praise! Many people even sent gifts.

Bai Pu didn't bother to look closely at those effusive compliments; he had already received a prompt from the Spirit Realm Will.

[You have completed the skill test of the Beiming Xuanjing Sect Leader: Beiming Jihu.]

[Your Advanced Equipment: Two-Handed Swordsmanship Specialization has been directly upgraded to Advanced Level 4, current level is Advanced Level 5 (Limit Breaker +1)]

[You have gained an insight and can select an additional effect for the Two-Handed Swordsmanship Specialization! This effect will not replace the previous Two-Handed Swordsmanship Specialization effect.]

A translucent list of special effects suddenly appeared before Bai Pu.

This special effects list was presented by the Spirit Realm Will and wouldn't be captured by the Spiritual Camera.

Bai Pu showed a delighted smile, causing another wave of "screen-licking" formations in the barrage.

Indeed, the guidance and tests from powerful natives have significant rewards, and being able to draw an additional specialization effect is truly remarkable. An "additional" choice means it can work in conjunction with the "Wind-Seeking" effect without replacing it.

Bai Pu noticed that the effects appearing this time were mostly standard options, but a distinctive option appeared at the end.

F: Shattering Mountain: When you strike with the sword, you can temporarily increase the force of your swing, infusing part of your Professional Energy into the ordinary attack to form a burst-like strike.

Infusing Professional Energy into ordinary attacks?

Bai Pu's eyes lit up; this is an ability only super masters like Beiming Jihu and Dongbo Cheng from the Heart Demon World possess! Their combat specializations have all reached Advanced Level 7 and above!

Take Dongbo Cheng, for example; his strike feels gentle as a breeze, but once the sword tip hits the enemy, it might unleash a fierce Wind Blade, tearing apart the opponent and causing fearsome damage akin to a skill!

Bai Pu decisively chose the [Shattering Mountain] effect.

A feeling of profound revelation surged through him, giving Bai Pu an initial understanding of how to manipulate his internal Professional Energy — Blood Fighting Qi.

Currently, the extent he can manipulate it is still small, but as his combat specialization rises, the extent of manipulation will grow as well.

Originally, when he thrust his sword out, the opponent seeing it as a light, ordinary attack, might only use half their strength to deflect it, planning a counterattack with the other half! But Bai Pu's Blood Fighting Qi, which bursts out at the moment the blades clash, could potentially inflict heavy damage on the opponent!

Having obtained this effect, Bai Pu felt satisfied, believing that his efforts had not been in vain.

During this period, Bai Pu also practiced his [Shield Mastery] specialization to Advanced Level 3, gaining an opportunity to choose an effect for Advanced Level 4. This time there wasn't any rare affix, so Bai Pu opted for a simple and unadorned effect, "Skew."

[Skew: When blocking with your shield, you can more accurately judge the opponent's force direction, skew their attacks, reducing the damage while decreasing shield durability consumption by 50%.]

The sharpest tools make the best woodsman; it's time to enter the Spirit Realm!

Currently, in his Storage Space, the corpse of the Demon General's Hunting Scythe has become much more shriveled. Bai Pu checked; the [Living Tissue of the Primordial Heart] still has about forty days of activity left.

That's enough; Bai Pu's second transformation quest shouldn't take forty days.

Bai Pu equipped the Sharp Long Saber, killed the other flies buzzing around in the air, and then cleaned up the room. He bid farewell to the audience in the live stream, then swiftly ended the broadcast amid a flood of question marks.

After ending the stream, Bai Pu first said goodbye to Li Ling.

He'd have to ask Li Ling to put up a notice in the live stream saying "The streamer has gone to explore the Spirit Realm, temporary broadcast pause" once Bai Pu is matched into the Spirit Realm.

Why not announce it directly during the live stream...

Well, those who understand, understand.

Even though Bai Pu knew that major forces definitely had Awakened like "Red Crow" who could spy from afar, Superstar Alliance could eventually determine when he'd enter the Spirit Realm for his second transformation.

But it's still worth adding a bit of difficulty for the enemy.

Li Ling stopped him and said, "By the way, check your watch, Yuan Yue just sent you a message."

When practicing swordsmanship, Bai Pu usually doesn't wear his watch or sets it to silent do-not-disturb mode.

Upon putting on the watch, he saw that there were actually three missed calls from Yuan Yue and a text message.

[Yuan Yue: Gangxin, I've helped promote your 'Youth Cream,' and a senior is very interested and wants to buy a few more bottles from you! This is her contact information, make sure to add her!]

Bai Pu replied with a "thanks" and then clicked on the contact information to add as a friend.

The friend added, with the online name "Wushan Divine Lady."

"Tsk, this online name seems just like Sister Yuan Yue's, a bit suggestive yet subtle. But since she's a senior, she should be quite old already; using this name doesn't seem too fitting, maybe change it to 'Tianshan Grandmother...' "

Bai Pu mocked inwardly and then naturally sent a message.

[Gangxin: May I ask how many bottles of Youth Cream you need?]

[System Message: Wushan Divine Lady requests to video call you, do you accept?]

Bai Pu accepted.

A virtual light screen was projected above the personal information terminal wristwatch.

The video call connected, and the other party's image appeared on the virtual light screen.

Bai Pu's heart skipped a beat.

Rash, too rash.

In the virtual screen was a woman wearing a bath cap and wrapped in a bath towel, her appearance was enchanting and her aura noble, quite reminiscent of Qin.

There was an inherent majesty between her eyebrows, a demeanor likely cultivated from being in a high position for a long time — more akin to Qin's true self.

Through the video screen, only the upper half of this noble beauty could be seen, down to where the bath towel wrapped around her hips.

Her chest seemed ready to burst out of the bath towel, featuring an alarming curve of a slender waist and ample hips.

The "Wushan Divine Lady"'s aura was cool and aloof, yet having just bathed, her face was flushed, adding a touch of heart-stirring allure.

This mixed aura was especially lethal.

Fortunately, Bai Pu had been 'baptized' by Qin, and quickly collected himself: "Hello, are you Sister Yuan Yue's senior? How many bottles of Youth Cream would you like?"

The Wushan Divine Lady had a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth, seemingly quite satisfied with Bai Pu's performance. She softly said, "Little Gangxin, excuse my disheveled state — give me ten seconds."

She extended a hand to cover the video camera, and instantly the screen in front of Bai Pu went completely black.

After ten seconds, the video camera was restored.

The Wushan Divine Lady's attire completely changed into a snug and professional women's suit, covering her entirely.

Only the neckline of the jacket seemed heavily burdened, split to the sides by two unmentionable spherical parts.

Bai Pu wasn't worried that the jacket's buttons would pop off. He knew "Wushan Divine Lady" was a powerful Awakened, and this suit was undoubtedly Equipment in Illusion Mode.

The prior ten seconds must have been the time Wushan Divine Lady took to activate Equipment Illusion Mode.

So initially answering the call wrapped in a bath towel was to see me embarrassed, seizing the initiative in this conversation?

Bai Pu's eye twitched subtly. Buying just a few bottles of Youth Cream shouldn't warrant such tactics, shouldn't it! Do I seem like someone who would overcharge?

Wushan Divine Lady seemed to see through Bai Pu's thoughts, calmly said, "I'm not reaching out just to buy some Youth Cream from you. I have a favor to ask."

Bai Pu's demeanor became serious.

The Wushan Divine Lady continued, "I have a troublesome niece, diligent and with decent comprehension, but her EQ isn't high, and her abilities in Spirit Realm exploration are weak... she's almost Level 7 now and still hasn't completed her second transformation."
