Battle Merit Hall

More than a year had passed since Shi Lan last saw her fiancée, whom she had met only once, in Tenglong City.

Over the past year, Shi Lan had changed beyond recognition. Lu Yueqing had changed just as much.

Now, standing before Lu Yueqing, Shi Lan could clearly sense the aura radiating from within her.

She was at the peak of the ninth level of the Xiantian Realm, her aura wavering up and down.

Shi Lan knew this feeling well.

Lu Yueqing's strength was now on the same level as Shen Tianlan, whom Shi Lan had first encountered in the Heavenly Thunder Hall.

She was only half a step away from the Earthly Baleful Realm.

At her age and cultivation, she certainly deserved to be called a prodigy.

Although Shi Lan's cultivation had already reached the late stage of the Earthly Baleful Realm, and she was not far from the peak, she still did not think she was particularly powerful.

She had attained this level by relying on Samsara and the system, stumbling through the gates of death again and again and nearly gambling her life each time.

Anyone ordinary would have died outright in her place. She had the system and Samsara to back her up; others had neither. There was no way to replicate her path, not even in the slightest.

Wu Lingkong was not wearing her armor. Instead, she wore a loose, pale blue robe, with the iron crown still on her head and her ponytail tied high.

Seeing Lu Yueqing beside Shi Lan, Wu Lingkong looked at Shi Lan in confusion. "Your friend?"

"Fiancée."

Before Lu Yueqing could react, Shi Lan succinctly explained their relationship.

Lu Yueqing and Wu Lingkong both wore rather peculiar expressions at almost exactly the same time.

"Cheng Tian Domain... truly... extraordinary."
