Tang Wulin's Exclusive Combat Power Upgrade Gift Package

Zi Ji arrived right on time. The moment she got there, she saw Xie Yinling delivering the Four-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mecha forged for the Demon Empress, so she decided to settle the matter of the battle armor and mecha first.

Now that the issue was resolved, there was naturally time to ask about other matters.

"Has Di Tian still not returned from unifying the Sea Soul Beasts in the ocean? Could something have held him up?"

"He shouldn't have run into any trouble. With his current strength, even in the Deep Sea Domain, no Sea Soul Beast could be his match."

At her question, the Demon Empress's expression beneath her black hood turned slightly strange. After a moment of silence, she answered:

"There are no problems among the Sea Soul Beasts. The last remnants of the Sea God Faction have all been beheaded. The Neutral Faction, including the Sea Princess, has also been subdued and unified. They are awaiting orders."

"As for Di Tian... he is in seclusion. He said he was preparing to go to Shrek Academy and control a student. He even borrowed two powerful Evil Soul Masters from me in advance."

"Di Tian was unwilling to say more. You know him better than I do. If he doesn't want to talk, there is no use asking further."

Zi Ji nodded in agreement, feeling rather despondent. Her job had been snatched away again.

Normally, when someone entered a Secluded Chamber for deep seclusion, they needed someone Protecting the Dao. She had not seen Xue Ling at all, so she had assumed Xue Ling was the one taking on that duty.

She voiced that seemingly certain guess almost unconsciously, but the Demon Empress's answer was completely different.

"No. Xue Ling has returned to the Far North Land and has not come back yet."

This sudden turn of events swept away Zi Ji's gloom, and her mood brightened at once.

"The Demon Empress still has to keep watch over Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua and Mu Ye, so you should not be distracted. I happen to have some free time lately, so leave the task of Protecting the Dao for Di Tian to me. Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, Bi Ji and I used to take turns doing it."

However, just as she was basking in delight, the Demon Empress's next words dealt her a crushing blow.

"My daughter, Lan Fozi, is currently Protecting the Dao for Di Tian. You needn't go. Too many people would only make things worse."

Three months ago, when the Demon Empress noticed Lan Fozi growing bored, she had proactively sent her to Protect the Dao for Di Tian.

It saved her from running off to the human world and being lured away by humans.

Besides, it really could lighten some of her burden, while also blocking off the advancement paths of the other Soul Beasts.

Tsk. It killed several birds with one stone.

Zi Ji: "???"

Xue Ling had barely left, and another one had come to take her place? Talk about squeezing in wherever there was an opening!

What, there was no spot left for her?

And where had you, Demon Empress, gotten a daughter from?!

Why had she never heard this widow mention her before?!

Though she wailed in disbelief inwardly, she said aloud:

"I'm going to take a look."

She refused to give up. She wanted to see what this line-cutting daughter of the Demon Empress, Lan Fozi, was made of.

Unfortunately, before she could even act, the Demon Empress blocked her path.

Zi Ji had originally intended to force her way through. Whether she succeeded or failed, she would not be satisfied without trying.

But the Demon Empress used only a few words to dispel Zi Ji's urge to barge in and make a fuss.

"Whatever could make Di Tian enter deep seclusion must be extremely important. On top of that, he has not clearly informed us about it. I don't think we should disturb him."

"Zi Ji, you wouldn't want Di Tian's plan to fail either, would you?"

"You!"

"I..."

Zi Ji managed only those two brief replies before she had nothing more to say.

All that could be said was that compared with the Demon Empress, who had weathered twenty thousand years in a sea of blood, Zi Ji was far too inexperienced.

That made sense. The Demon Empress had been the Holy Spirit Cult Master for so many years; what filthy, sordid things had she not seen? She had not only seen pigs run—she had eaten pork too.

In the second round, Zi Ji suffered a crushing defeat.

At this point, the Demon Empress was quite good at handling people. Using ingredients from Mu Ye's Small Canteen, she welcomed Zi Ji with a meal, borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.

At the dining table, Zi Ji, turning grief and indignation into appetite, secretly made up her mind. She would forge an offensive and defensive alliance with Bi Ji—entirely on her own initiative.

Clever as she was, wisdom and reason had seized the high ground.

Ever since Di Tian left the Star Dou Great Forest and parted ways with their lord, he had become especially popular.

In this world, there were no eternal rivals, only eternal interests.

Without allies, she could not fight alone.

But even the cleverest housewife could not cook without rice. With Di Tian still in seclusion and her ally Bi Ji yet to arrive, her impressive wisdom, having claimed the high ground, had nowhere to be used.

By the time she had done nothing but guard that high ground of wisdom, the Four-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mecha for both herself and Bi Ji had been completed.

As True Dragons of the same world, Zi Ji's Four-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mecha had been crafted using Di Tian's battle armor and mecha as templates.

Placed together, the two sets of battle armor and mecha looked exactly like a matching couple's design from the same brand—one entirely black and gold, the other entirely Dark Purple.

During this time, Bi Ji did not come in person. Zi Ji traveled back and forth between the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters and the Forging Masters Association Headquarters, delivering Bi Ji's objections regarding the battle armor and mecha designs to Zhen Hua and Mu Ye.

Among all Soul Beasts on the Douluo Plane, Bi Ji possessed the bloodline closest to that of a divine phoenix.

Therefore, the blueprint for her Four-Word Battle Armor was obtained directly from Leng Yaozhu, the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, while the blueprint for her God-level Mecha came from the Leng Family, where Leng Yaozhu had been born.

This set of Four-Word Battle Armor used the greatest amount of Gold of Life. Furthermore, due to the need for combat power, her Battle Armor Domain had been inscribed with a domain possessing strange offensive methods.

It could silently absorb another person's life force. Once an enemy's life force fell below the thirty-percent execution threshold and was also lower than Bi Ji's total life force, it could deliver a guaranteed-kill Life Adjudication.

Her healing ability had already reached the pinnacle. Even Ya Li, the Holy Spirit Douluo who was known as the continent's number-one healing Soul Master, could not compare with her.

Rather than adding flowers to brocade, it was better to take this rare opportunity to make up for her lacking combat power.

Nearly a year passed. The three sets of Four-Word Battle Armor and God-level Mecha were completed, and Di Tian finally finished his enormous undertaking.

A drop of Dragon God Essence Blood, condensed to the utmost extreme, appeared in the world. It gleamed with seven-colored radiance, like a droplet scattering sunlight while gathering every color back within itself.

After a year of deep seclusion, he had naturally not merely completed the condensation of the Dragon God Essence Blood. He had also concealed the vast power within it.

It contained boundless energy like an endless Vast Ocean, yet outwardly, it truly appeared as ordinary as a drop of water.

After a year of painstaking work, the "Tang Wulin Exclusive Combat Power Upgrade Gift Package" he had prepared was guaranteed to work.

It could help Tang Wulin break through several Golden Dragon King Seals in succession, vastly increasing his combat power. It was even more effective than the Dragon Cloud, dragon souls, and half a Dragon God dragon soul he had absorbed in Dragon Valley!

And it came with free worldwide shipping—wherever he ran, it would follow!
