This Thing Has the Makings of a Divine Artifact!

Watching Gu Xiaona grow rapidly stronger through Deep Blue, Long Fan felt quite relieved.

After running Beast Taming Simulation once, Long Fan had also more or less figured out the basic principles.

The system merely provided a platform.

The Attribute Points added to the mount had not actually been consumed by the system.

Instead, through simulation, they had all been used to max out the growth of talent skills along the evolution path.

He really liked this method.

Unlike Hao Yue—though her evolution greatly increased her strength, every time it was a life-or-death ordeal.

Breaking through while facing the entire plane as enemies meant Long Xiaogua, the poop-scooping officer, had to suffer quite a bit.

After all, raising pets in the cloud through point allocation was simply the best.

Long Fan could already feel the first benefit brought by the blood contract.

That was—shared understanding.

Even if Gu Xiaona did not speak, Long Fan could constantly sense changes in her emotions.

He clearly knew what she was thinking and planning.

Normally, an Equality Contract only allowed a mount companion to act as closely as possible according to its master's wishes.

But a blood contract granted mutual perception and communication without delay.

Nearby, Gu Xiaona was practicing her dragon roar alone.

"Glug glug!"

Long Fan immediately laughed when he heard it.

"Xiaona, you're a dragon. You need a roar with presence! Hold your breath first—right, now raise the pitch!"

Gu Xiaona: "Gugu glug!"

Long Fan: "..."

Well, that was a lost cause.

It seemed the simulation was not one hundred percent perfect after all.

But on second thought, wasn't this pretty cute too?

Just then, Bang!

Bang—

A knock suddenly sounded at the door.

That amount of force, that rhythm.

Who else could it be but Li Xin?

She never cared about acting like a lady.

If she was going to do something, she did it as her true self.

She never hid her carefree, tomboyish personality in the slightest.

"Little Fan, we're heading to the Executive Hall. Are you ready yet?"

She called out while pounding on the door.

At the same time, she dragged along Long Xiaogua, who had just emerged from meditation.

The door opened, and Long Fan quickly stepped out.

"Coming, coming."

Gu Xiaona transformed into her dragon form and lay atop Long Fan's head.

Like a white antler hat.

Her disguise was excellent.

She remained completely still.

Long Fan tidied his clothes slightly.

He wore a crisp, fitted white archer-sleeved warrior outfit.

It was the first time he had dressed so formally.

Li Xin's eyes lit up again.

She practically had stars in her eyes like some lovestruck fangirl.

"Seriously, white suits you two perfectly!"

With her eyes shining, Li Xin kept sizing up Long Xiaogua and Long Fan as they stood together.

"So handsome! What a loss, what a loss—the knights in this batch are seriously ridiculously good-looking."

Long Fan and Long Xiaogua exchanged helpless looks.

Was this the trouble of being too charming?

Bright Moon City.

Executive Hall.

Led by Li Xin.

Long Fan and Long Xiaogua went straight up to the luxurious third floor.

Hell Rose Li Xin's father was Bright Moon City's military big shot—

Military Chief Li Aoxiao.

Ice Turtle Mage Lin Jialu's father was Bright Moon City's top administrative authority—

Governor Lin Yinjia.

The governor handled civil affairs.

The Military Chief handled military affairs.

Working together, the two fathers could oversee every matter within Bright Moon City.

They were bona fide second-generation officials.

At today's meal.

Five major figures had gathered together.

There were also three heavyweight guests.

Uncle Bai Yu, Hall Master of the Magic Haoyue Branch Hall.

Uncle Chen Chunhua, Hall Master of the Warrior Haoyue Branch Hall.

Nalan "Big" Shu, Hall Master of the Knight Haoyue Branch Hall.

They happened to correspond to Long Fan's three unlocked classes.

Even using Gu Xiaona's dragon toes, Long Fan could have guessed it.

It was definitely for the event held once every five years—

The Demon Hunt Squad Selection Competition!

Li Xin and Lin Jialu were both renowned beauties of Bright Moon City.

They were known as the "Bright Moon Twin Beauties"!

The moment they entered, nearly everyone's gaze focused on the two of them.

However.

When Long Fan and Long Xiaogua appeared behind them.

The moment they showed up, they completely eclipsed the Bright Moon Twin Beauties.

It was not just their stunning looks.

The aura of a Child of Light and a God Favored One around them made it impossible for them to keep a low profile.

Aside from Nalan Shu, the other major figures were secretly astonished.

They truly had outstanding appearances.

They were indeed exceptional young talents.

Worthy of being called the Bright Moon Twin Prides!

The two of them received generous praise from the major figures.

Everyone took their seats and began the customary meal.

Meanwhile, the two sturdy young men from the Warrior Saint Hall were almost completely ignored.

The taller one was named Chen Si.

The shorter one was called Chen Chen.

The only thing to remember about tonight was—

Don't be such a glutton!!

They wolfed it down, sweeping through the food like a tornado.

They had thought the steaming buckets of rice brought out were for the whole table.

Who would have thought they were actually the bowls the two warrior brothers used to eat?

They were practically competitive eaters.

Long Fan had always thought scenes in novels and television were exaggerated. How could anyone swallow an entire roast chicken in one bite?

They weren't beasts, after all.

But now, his eyes had been opened.

Not only could they swallow one whole in a single bite, they could keep doing it.

What an insane appetite.

It was even more terrifying than Li Xin back then...

After they finished eating.

The formal instructions from the big shots were also given in the usual routine.

For Long Fan, the real show was only just beginning.

He could go choose his equipment.

As for offensive weapons, although he already had the Starry Sky Twin Swords, their grade was simply too high.

He couldn't just use them to bully weak opponents. Why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?

The Fine Iron Sword was too unimpressive and too weak.

It was fine for ordinary duels and sparring matches.

But if he were to face the Demon Race head-on in a real fight, it was still lacking something.

As for defensive equipment, he already had the suitable Radiant Shield.

But since he could get a free set, why not?

Led by Li Aoxiao, the group arrived at the top floor of Bright Moon City's Executive Hall.

Inside the room, all kinds of weapons and equipment were displayed.

Every single one was Magic Rank equipment.

The vast majority were enchantment-type items that enhanced attributes.

Their effects could be activated directly in battle.

The eyes of the two brothers, Chen Si and Chen Chen, grew heated.

The two rich girls, Li Xin and Lin Jialu, remained much calmer.

Long Fan and Long Xiaogua felt a flicker of surprise in their hearts, but outwardly remained composed.

At the commander's signal, they began making their selections.

Berserker Chen Chen needed increased attack power.

He chose a set of fire-attribute light armor, as well as a pair of fire-attribute longsabers.

Shield Warrior Chen Si needed increased defense.

He chose a full set of heavy armor and a Tower Shield, while his weapon was a longsaber with a speed-boosting buff.

Long Xiaogua, who practiced Punishment Guard Dual Cultivation, chose a set of dark silver heavy-silver alloy light armor.

His weapons were two greatswords.

One was enchanted with the Light Attribute, while the other had the fire attribute.

Deep Blue All-Round King Long Fan thought it over.

In the end, he gave up on equipment such as armor and swords.

Amid everyone's astonished gazes, he chose a magic robe inscribed with magical patterns.

For his weapon, he selected a magic staff embedded with a magic beast crystal core.

Ding! Detected weapon equipment that can undergo Deep Blue evolution—Elden Ring!

Hearing the system prompt, Long Fan walked toward an inconspicuous corner.

He discovered an utterly ordinary magic ring.

It seemed to have been left behind.

Dust had even gathered on it.

But according to the Second Law of Transmigrators—

This item surely had the makings of a divine artifact!
