The Banquet Hall aboard the Purple Lightning Void Breaking Boat was so loud it could have blown the roof off.
The elites of the Three Thousand Thunder Department and seven Mobile Squads packed the five-hundred-seat hall to bursting.
The tables were piled high with "victory feast specials" rushed over from logistics—golden, sizzling Thunder Beast legs, steaming Divine Brew, platters of jewel-bright Spirit Fruit, and even several crates of Fat House Happy Water smuggled up from the lower realm.
"Cheers!"
"To victory!"
Cheers, clinking cups, and drinking-game calls rang out from every corner.
Su Baye was challenging people to arm wrestling. Every time he won, he made his opponent down a jar of wine. He had already put seven or eight people under the table.
Su Kongzhen had gathered with several Kings, drinking as they went over the battle. Whenever they reached a good part, he slapped the table and roared with laughter.
A group of female cultivators had surrounded Xiao Qiyue, peppering her with gossip about her and Su Ye. Her face was as red as a ripe apple.
Xia Zhiqiu went even further. He jumped onto a table, grabbed a microphone from who knew where, and launched into an off-key rendition of "Good Days":
"Today's a good day~ Everything we wish for can come true~~"
"Tomorrow's another good day~ Open up the mine and welcome the spring breeze~~~"
He was hopelessly out of tune, but he only made the crowd more excited.
Amid the revelry, Su Ye slipped away alone and found a room where no one would disturb him.
Ever since he had obtained the scale, the little fellow inside his Storage Bracelet had been restless.
Now it could wait no longer.
He had barely finished setting up three layers of Soundproof Barrier.
Whoosh!
