Wine fumes steamed from Wu Song's body as a streak of starlight fell from the heavens!
The starlight pierced through the layers of bloody mist in the underground wine cellar and landed squarely on the Qinghe County Exile Fighter - Wu Song card;
The starlight flared brilliantly, and everyone present couldn't help covering their eyes for a moment.
When Lin Chen opened his eyes again, the Wu Song card had already upgraded!
From green to blue!
A faint streak of starlight shimmered along the pale blue border:
Card Name: Jingyang Ridge Drunken Frenzy Fighter - Wu Song Type: Human/Fighter Quality: Rare Grade · Pale Blue Trim · Three-Star Traits: Human Tai Sui - Wu Song possessed baleful energy and had a fierce temperament. Strong Muscles and Bones - Wu Song possessed Innate Divine Strength. Jianghu Experience - Wu Song was bold yet meticulous and had rich Jianghu Experience.

Wu Song had actually advanced as well!
In a single day, the Door God had risen in stars, Wu Song had advanced, and Lin Chen had attained divinity!
Good news truly came one after another. As expected, only training between life and death was the fastest way to increase one's strength!
Wu Song had already been a deep-green-grade card spirit before this, and he had only been one breath away from advancing to blue grade;
So Lin Chen had planned to prepare a wine material to assist Wu Song's advancement;
Although he hadn't found the material on this trip to investigate the tavern, Wu Song had at least drunk his fill! In the end, they had reached the same destination by different paths.
It had satisfied his inborn love of alcohol while also secretly corresponding to his "heroic destiny"—
In the original story, after fleeing Qinghe County, Wu Song had planned to return home. Along the way, he had downed eighteen bowls at the Three Bowls Over the Ridge tavern, only to end up drunk and lying unconscious on Jingyang Ridge.
In this world's version, after Wu Song had made a grand ruckus at the God of Wine's feast with Lin Chen, he had also drunk his fill and passed out drunk under the God of Wine Ritual - Carnival Eternal Night.
His destiny had retraced its path, sensing its fated star, and resonating with the star orbit!
It had drawn down starlight from the heavens to aid his advancement!
With the spiritual exhilaration brought by the alcohol, his advancement had proceeded as naturally as water flowing into a channel!
After becoming this drunken form of Wu Song, he had gained the two new traits and skills, Vast Alcohol Power and Drunken Rage Fist;
His original Jade Ring Steps had also advanced into Jade Ring Drunken Steps, truly an advancement achieved through alcohol.
And he was now only one step away from Wu Song's tiger-fighting form!
Wu Song's wine had warmed his chest and emboldened his heart. As the alcohol took effect, he became incomparably eager for battle and charged straight toward Amber.
Amber had bound him with the God of Wine Staff earlier, and Wu Song held grudges fiercely. If he didn't avenge this grudge, how could he vent the hatred in his chest?
Amber repeated his old trick, and several vines sprang out once more, whipping toward Wu Song;
Jade Ring Drunken Steps activated. With drunken movements that ordinary people could never have imagined, Wu Song dodged the encircling vines.
Lin Chen couldn't help cheering, "The same move won't work on Wu Song twice!"
Wu Song had already closed in on Amber, and his furious fist came crashing in!
The ferocious punch was firmly blocked by Amber's God of Wine Staff, unable to advance even an inch.
A trace of unwillingness flashed through Wu Song's eyes. After all, it was Divine Equipment—his current might still couldn't break through its defenses.
No sooner had these words left his mouth than an iron monk's spade came flying in and knocked the God of Wine Staff aside;
A huge, portly monk leaped out and shouted, "Brother, I'll help you!"
It was Lu Zhishen, who shared a sworn-brotherhood bond with Wu Song!
The Shared Hatred, United Enemy mark from the two men locked onto Amber. They came on with thunderous force, striking straight at him!
One pair of asura arhats, two drunken berserkers, unleashed their tiger-binding, dragon-slaying techniques and battled the vine-planting wine god.
One wielded a monk's spade, the other a cudgel. The monk's spade opened a path between life and death, while the cudgel smashed down upon every injustice!
They were like two sea dragons fighting over a pearl, like a pair of tigers battling for food before a crag.
The shadows of their cudgel and spade intertwined so densely that no wind could pass through, and in an instant they enveloped Amber!
How could Amber understand any martial arts? He could only rely on the might of his divine weapon to block with all his strength, yet he was still beaten back step by step.
Amber was furious. He was a divine messenger of the Cult of the God of Wine! It was one thing to lose to the Door God, but how had he ended up in such a sorry state against these two brutes?
He immediately drove his spiritual power, splashing out a foul wind and wine rain that finally blasted Wu Song and Lu Zhishen away.
The Greek beauty's heart flared with nameless rage. He wanted nothing more than to kill these two with a single blow of his staff!
Especially that mad monk. If he hadn't suddenly leaped out and smashed the Black Goat's Egg, how could his plans have ended in failure?
But then Amber realized—why had he become so impulsive?
It was the effect of Lu Zhishen's Mad Zen Wrathful Thoughts: anyone fighting Lu Zhishen would be affected by wrathful thoughts, becoming irritable and unable to remain calm.
And because his emotions had wavered for that instant, Amber failed to notice that a Black Fiend God had already silently launched a surprise attack right before him!
It was Lin Chen's arrangement! He had ordered Yuchi Gong to abandon the sacrificial lamb on the other side and deal with the more intelligent enemy, Amber, first.
Tang Palace Martial Display: Single Whip Seizes Spear activated in an instant!
The steel whip in Yuchi Gong's hand, wrapped in divine might, directly seized the God of Wine Staff from Amber's grasp!
Unlike the petty pickpocketing of the Spirit Rat last time, this weapon seizure came from the Door God's majestic divine might!
Amber could no longer casually summon the God of Wine Staff back. He could only drive his spiritual power and engage Yuchi Gong in a battle of strength from afar.
Having lost his offensive divine weapon, Amber could no longer perform those arcane rituals;
He was nothing more than a handsome good-for-nothing with a huge health bar!
Wu Song and Lu Zhishen immediately pressed their attack, subduing and restraining him.
Lin Chen approached. The usual composure and nobility had vanished from Amber's face, leaving only resentment and unwillingness;
Lin Chen savored the pleasure of settling a grudge on the spot;
He looked down at Amber from above and said:
"Smile. Why can't you smile anymore?
Isn't the spirit of the God of Wine all about indulging in joy?
Go on, smile for me again!"
The author has brought Wu Song to beg for votes and follows!
A trace of unwillingness flashed through Wu Song's eyes. After all, it was the "recommendation ranking"—his current might still couldn't break through its defenses.
No sooner had these words left his mouth than a monthly ticket came flying in and shattered this ranking restriction.
A crowd of readers leaped out, shouting, "Author, I'll help you!"
Thanks to reader 20230301122037672 for one monthly ticket, and Taofuzi for nine monthly tickets!!
At noon twelve o'clock, nine tonight, and two more updates after that! (I won't turn it into a long chapter; I'll just add another chapter directly!) The conclusion of the God of Wine arc is about to come down!
So remember to come back for the latest updates!
Chapter 41: Ten Thousand Goats Wail, Summoning the Black Goat Mother Goddess!
Smiles would not disappear; they would merely shift onto Lin Chen's face.
The joyful wine banquet was about to enter its finale, but it seemed the host and guests would not all be leaving satisfied.
Lin Chen had Wu Song and Lu Zhishen keep an eye on Amber, then brought Yuchi Gong to assist Qin Qiong;
Because the Black Goat cub's recovery ability was too strong, Wu Song couldn't deal effective damage.
Only gods could injure gods!
Qin Qiong's Golden Mace was wreathed in flames, already scorching the Black Goat cub until it was battered beyond recognition;
Yuchi Gong also activated True Evil-Breaking Fire. His steel whip was like a scarlet dragon, tearing away great chunks of flesh;
Divine fire scorched as black energy twisted!
With Lin Chen directing the battle, the two Door Gods' fighting spirit grew even higher!
This deformed cub had inherited the "flesh" authority only incompletely. Facing the alternating onslaught of the two Door Gods, its regeneration and recovery gradually fell behind the rate at which it was being damaged.
Its body, originally as large as a hill, was forcibly worn down until only the size of a small house remained.
But for some unknown reason, no matter how the Divine Flame burned or how the steel whip pounded,
This mass of flesh remained stubbornly stuck at a certain limit, unable to be extinguished even a fraction further!
Regeneration and destruction had somehow formed a bizarre "balance" at this moment;
Deep within this mass of flesh was likely the core of the "flesh" authority inherited by this mythical creature.
It represented certain regeneration and an inability to be destroyed.
