"Their abilities happen to effectively counter demons, thus they became 'Demon Exterminators'," Baal said.

Elves excel at Natural Magic and also specialize in cultivating plant-type demons for battle. When they discovered the Demon-Born Flower that could traverse dimensional barriers, they began seeking ways to utilize them, eventually discovering the method for the strong-willed to symbiotically coexist with the Demon-Born Flower.

The strength of the Demon-Born Flower lies in the fact that it loves to feed on magic power of any category, swiftly growing new Demon-Born Flower Vines based on the type of magic power absorbed.

These flower vines, in harmony with the opponent's homogeneous power, can either counter the opponent or even become immune to their attacks.

"Let her absorb different advanced magic powers to cultivate a vibrant and colorful Demon-Born Flower," Baal suggested.

As more magic is devoured, the ability of the Demon-Born Flower to devour magic power will also be enhanced. In battles against Crimson Demons, its pipeline, drawing infinite magic power from the magic power dimension, will instead become a nutritional conduit for the Demon-Born Flower.

At the same time, the Thunderstorm Star Soul depicted the final form that the Legendary Warrior symbiotic with the Demon-Born Flower can achieve—flower vines can grow expansively, freely shaping their appearance and generating different effects.

For example, it once saw a warrior transform the Demon-Born Flower into a Vine Armor Giant, making almost all attacks ineffective, as the magic power within would be devoured upon contact.

As for Andasu, the legendary warriors of the Yunxiang Race are fierce killers wielding the Power of Darkness and perfumers crafting greatly enhanced effects in potions; Li Ang had previously seen information on these two legacies.

Baal said he had seen that Beast God, who communicated with entities beyond the stars, exchanging for a different darkness-controlling power than Nebis.

The legendary Evil Assassins can almost transform into phantasms, even if influenced by the demons' spiritual manipulation, extreme assaults can still level certain disadvantages.

The legendary Incense Attendants can stimulate total human potential, even applying enhancement effects that dramatically increase strength for a short time at the cost of their own extinction.

The Beast God could itself deeply infiltrate materialized bodies with the scent of Blood Fragrance, affecting the spirituality within. It passed this ability to its descendants, the Yunxiang Race, combined with the skills of those two professions, making them troublesome targets for demons.

Clearly, it is due to this reason that the Six-Armed Demon cursed their tribe.

However, as Yunxiang Race progresses further in the cultivation of these two professions, it becomes increasingly difficult, far beyond other professions, and in blossoming times, it might take several generations to produce one.

Since the Yunxiang Race endured hardships yet retained legacy skills, Baal suggested that the Beast-eared Maiden should carefully study them, and if encountering bottlenecks, she should seek clues at their ancient homeland.

ALulu's Powerful God Bloodline emphasizes simplicity and brute force; even under the demons' spiritual shackles, she can exploit unmatched power to achieve extreme speed and launch devastating attacks.

This was indeed a direction naturally suited for development within the Horned Race.

For ALulu, eating well, sleeping well, maintaining a good mood, and growing healthily will help to gradually reach peak power.

It is essential to learn control over exertion using professional skills, shaping a perfect personality for self-cultivation; using a calm heart to manage frenzied power, otherwise, she is just a beast charging wildly, regardless of how great the power, ultimately falling into a hunter's trap.

Besides team members, Baal also mentioned Elaphia, the Blade Master, saying her Blade Mastery Bloodline is also a Demon Exterminator. This group can maximize the power of ordinary people's "equipment," solving Crimson Demon's complex powers by forging into ultimate weapons and armor, amalgamating artisans' ingenuity with mortals' heartblood and wisdom.

At that time, after Baal finished speaking, Li Ang almost believed that people with special legacies and talents throughout the world are descendants of Demon Exterminators.

Finally, speaking of Zoe, this ancient Star Soul stated that in the past, they would select the Star Divine Child to counter Crimson Demons, but never has one like her been able to gather so much Star Soul Power.

Baal encouraged Li Ang to let Zoe continue on her journey gathering Star Soul Power, unsure of what the young girl will become, yet assured it will surpass everyone's imagination, possibly even beyond what the oldest Star Soul can predict.

In short, having guidance from a Star Soul witnessing ancient legendary warriors spared Li Ang much effort.

Ultimately, dealing with these issue-prone young women is truly exhausting.

Afternoon tea reached its end, Elaphia understood the potential development of the Star Flower Travel Corps, and about Li Ang being invited by Falo to join the Dome Furnace Association.

"When did you learn to make equipment?"

The young lady Douding posed the same question as Crafty Merchant Douding.

"If I say, I was already prepared, wanting to improve on a craftsman's path, would you believe me?" Li Ang said, feigning seriousness.

The matter of the system was unspeakable, yet now with the Star Flower Travel Corps gradually on track, Zoe gaining new powers, team members clear on their development paths, having access to Guild Excellence Realm Equipment due to Li Ang's previous two events, obtaining a Tier Nine Treasure, and other myriad positive aspects, he felt in good spirits.

Though there's the shadow of a demon curse, there's still time before it takes effect, and Li Ang has weathered great storms, not constantly wearing a sullen face.

Thus, he put on a small act.

"I trust that since you can refine others' curses beyond solution, being a craftsman should pose no great challenge for you," Elaphia earnestly regarded Li Ang's joke.

Li Ang suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

Elaphia said, "Then, besides attending the Knight Resolution Council in the Holy City, you must also seek a window from the Dome Furnace Association."

"Yes."

The blonde girl nodded thoughtfully.

"Mastering equipment creation is incredibly beneficial; if your team is fully armed, once they mature, you won't be required to recruit too many useless riff-raff."

After finishing afternoon tea, Li Ang prepared to leave but was called back by Elaphia.

"What is it?" Li Ang's gaze met her ocean-blue eyes.

The blonde girl bit her lower lip, hesitating for two seconds before releasing a silver chain wrapping around Li Ang's left arm, pulling him close, lifting his sleeve, and observing the red thorn on his arm.

Elaphia with a complicated expression stared at the peculiar deformity emerging from his elbow's skeleton.

She raised her hand, intending to extend it but paused when nearing the thorn.

Due to this pause, Aifei quickly glanced at Li Ang's reaction, seeing no change, she resolved to directly reach out.

Lightly touching the thorn mutated by the curse, the blonde girl asked, "Can you feel anything?"

"Yes."

"Looks like it's really a part of you now."

"It is." Li Ang chuckled, "Want to try if your blade can cut it off?"

Elaphia rolled her eyes at him and didn't do it.

She sighed and reached out with her small hand to gently rub Li Ang's head.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best to help you, I won't let you become that kind of monster."

She gently hugged Li Ang again.

"Alright, I'll be strong too, Mom."

Aifei's face instantly turned red, she quickly pushed Li Ang away, nearly losing her balance on the flying blade.

"You-you-you, can't you be serious!"

She was embarrassed and annoyed, "Even now, you're joking like those fish in my group. I've noticed you've been quite inappropriate since waking up from your coma. I really want to take apart your fish-brain to see if it's already turned into a demon."

Li Ang actually wanted to say that ever since waking up from his coma, Elaphia had been very friendly, completely unlike her previous demeanor as a young lady. Although she was similarly kind when giving the Silver Heart Sword last time, earlier interactions had always been quite bossy.

But he kept this thought to himself, not daring to say it out loud.

He didn't understand why he joked, just felt the atmosphere fit for some teasing, so he went with it. Perhaps it was being around her that brought him a sense of ease and relaxation, letting him act without overthinking, or maybe he just wanted to see how she'd react when teased.

In the midst of the barrage of fish insults from the tiny golden-haired mistress, Li Ang and Zoe returned to their room.

Zoe asked, "Li Ang, what shall we do next?"

It was still afternoon, and Zoe clearly had something specific in mind.

She pouted, brewing a certain sentiment.

"There's lots to do."

Li Ang recalled a pile of pending tasks.

Professional cultivation, trying out the Dragon Summoner's abilities, talking with each group member about their growth paths, using Dragon Blood Purification to further refine the Salamander Egg's bloodline...

"Practice swords with me."

"Okay."

Once agreed, Zoe smiled, transforming directly into her Celestial Maiden form as she stepped forward.

She gracefully turned mid-air, flew to Li Ang's ear, and brushed her lips against his earlobe.

"You!"

The sudden softness and fragrance relaxed Li Ang entirely, making him feel a bit thrilled, especially since it came without warning.

"Hehehe, come catch me."

The Little Wild Cat left a trail of silver bell-like laughter, creating a wind stream in the corridor, flying lightly, as if weightless, swiftly escaping.

Li Ang shook his head and hurried to give chase.

She flew ahead to his room's door, quickly darting inside when he opened it, pouncing onto his bed in a sprawling position.

This form emphasized elegance and beauty, unlike the more revealing Holy Snake form and Ice Wolf form, allowing Li Ang's gaze to comfortably settle upon her.

"Finally, finally alone with Li Ang."

Zoe buried her head in the pillow, speaking in a muffled voice.

"You could have come to find me earlier, right?"

Though busy after the Flashing Field's Combat Competition started, and subsequently occupied with various matters, it also resulted in Li Ang being spared from the clinginess of the persistent half elf and beast-eared young girl.

Eventually, both came to test his self-control consecutively, but Zoe hadn't, despite her chances.

"I was scared." Zoe said, head down.

Hmm? Li Ang was puzzled as she usually acted boldly.

Zoe raised her head, her short blue hair flickering.

"Dorothy suddenly did that earlier, scaring us. Oh, those wolf ears turned even more annoying; mainly it was me and Lulu that got startled.

"Though you admitted you were comfortable, your expression appeared painful, and you wouldn't let me imitate them. I'm still unsure if Li Ang truly likes or dislikes it."

"Uh, that was..."

Li Ang thought about it, recalling he probably wasn't making a "mouth-open-eyes-closed" expression at the time, maybe he appeared fierce due to containing himself, keeping composure against losing it.

"So, regardless of Li Ang's true thoughts, I'll just say what's on my mind."

The beautiful Celestial Maiden's eyes sparkled, softly saying, "Being with someone you like, making each other comfortable, what is it like? Can you teach me?"
