"Ziyi, let's call you Ziyi from now on," the youth pondered for a moment before speaking to the intelligent guide.

"Understood. From now on, Ziyi will serve you, Master," Ziyi said with a calm smile and a soft voice.

In another space, a middle-aged man had already begun inquiring about everything in this world.

"Master, this world is accessed through the network card you use in reality. Furthermore, that card has already recognized you as its master, so it cannot be used by others."

"Moreover, this world is currently in its budding stage, but it can still satisfy most of your requirements, such as money, ores, and the like. However, you must process loan services within this world for these."

"This means you borrow money from this world. Currently, the interest rate for this world is 0.1 percent of the loan amount. As the first batch of network card users, this rate will not increase unless the world undergoes its next update." With the same appearance and voice as the intellectual older sister from before, she carefully explained everything to her master.

"What is a world update?" the middle-aged man asked curiously.

"A world update is an optimization. The world will not stop being open; updates are merely to develop more functions, such as a future cultivation system," the intellectual older sister said.

Overnight, the Spirit Network Space became a sensation throughout Martial Soul City. At first, some were suspicious of the world's safety, but once people actually received money, they believed that this world was real.

Some people set their sights on the place where the network cards first appeared, hoping to snatch the cards and resell them. However, Nan Xuan had already anticipated these thoughts. He directly posted an announcement within the Spirit Network Space: "Momo Treasure Appraisal House is the real-world service point established by this world in Martial Soul City. If anyone targets people from this world, they will be permanently banned from entering."

Once this announcement was issued, no one dared to make a move, and at the same time, they became even more envious of Momo Treasure Appraisal House.

For the past few days, Nan Xuan had ignored outside affairs, focusing his heart and soul on managing the Network World.

Yes, that's right. To make it easier for everyone to remember this world, Nan Xuan renamed this space the Network World, and a spiderweb pattern appeared on the network cards as well.

A black-themed card with a white spiderweb—this was the highly sought-after network card in Martial Soul City.

Chen Gao and the other two had also been busy handling the sales of the network cards for the past few days, returning home very late each time.

"Brother Xuan, almost everyone in Martial Soul City has purchased a network card now," Chen Gao said to Nan Xuan as soon as he got home.

"The speed is acceptable. Since that's the case, take a good rest for the time being, then work hard on your cultivation. Put other matters aside for now and focus on raising your strength first," Nan Xuan smiled at the three of them and then informed them of their next tasks.

"We really do need a good rest; we've been exhausted these past few days," Yang Tian said, lying directly on the floor, feeling listless.

"Don't be impatient. There will be more to do in a while, hahaha." Nan Xuan had been in a very good mood these past few days. His career was on the right track, and he could meet Bibi Dong in the Network World every day. Everything was still within his control.

When people are comfortable, they always feel that time is not enough. Three years passed in a flash.

During these two years, Nan Xuan broke through to level 50, but he had not yet gone to obtain his soul ring. He was waiting for an opportunity—a moment for Bibi Dong to see Qian Xunji for who he really was.

Inside the Network World, in Nan Xuan's personal room.

"Dong'er, I want to go obtain my fifth soul ring tomorrow," Nan Xuan said calmly, stroking Bibi Dong's hair.

"You should have gone long ago; you've been dragging it out for over half a month," Bibi Dong looked at Nan Xuan with a displeased expression, as if to say it was about time.

"I just wanted to wait for you," Nan Xuan said dotingly.

"But I'm only at level 49 right now. Your Soul Power Level used to be behind mine. If I hadn't watched you grow up, I would have thought you had fallen into depravity," Bibi Dong said, feeling a bit frustrated. Clearly, she had been a higher level than him before, but now it was the other way around. It was really annoying.

"I'm going to obtain my fifth soul ring precisely so that you can cultivate better," Nan Xuan told Bibi Dong about the effect of the fifth soul ring he had envisioned.

"Really? There's such a soul skill?" Bibi Dong raised her head, looking at Nan Xuan in disbelief.

"Of course. Would I lie to you?" To punish Bibi Dong for not believing him, Nan Xuan pressed her head onto his lap and slowly bent down to kiss her.

Over the two years, Nan Xuan had expanded the Network World to cities near Martial Soul City. As for the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, he planned to develop there only after Bibi Dong's turning point had passed.

During this period, Nan Xuan also updated the Network World many times. The requirement for the updates was that users needed to use a bit of soul power to load them. Of course, Nan Xuan just wanted to store a bit more soul power and did not use it for his own cultivation.

Going from level 42 to 50 in two years—if you said there was no support from a powerful force, who would believe it? In any case, Nan Xuan himself certainly wouldn't.

The first update allowed everyone to chat with others by sending messages, so they didn't have to go out to stay in touch.

The second update allowed everyone to meet in the Network World, shortening the time spent traveling by carriage; it only took two seconds to see the person you wanted to see.

During the third major update, Nan Xuan implemented the physical manifestation of martial souls.

He allowed users from all walks of life to have a real-world experience in the Network World, though, of course, inappropriate behavior toward the intelligent guides was prohibited.

The Network World prohibited all criminal acts; this was the bottom line for Nan Xuan, who was born under the red flag. He couldn't control other places, but in his world, he had the final say.

These were all major updates. As for smaller ones, such as online loans, goods appraisal, and a series of Digitization services, Nan Xuan had already implemented them and made them much simpler.

Early the next morning, Nan Xuan waited at the city gate. He was waiting for her.

When Nan Xuan told Bibi Dong yesterday that he was going to obtain a soul ring, he had already planned everything. He hadn't wanted his beloved to be a pawn in the game, but he wouldn't feel at ease until this turning point was dealt with.

In this plan, Bibi Dong was the key figure. She could have left her small courtyard a year ago, but Nan Xuan had used the excuse of keeping their relationship low-profile to delay the opportunity until now.

It didn't take long before Bibi Dong appeared wearing a mask. She was dressed very modestly in a black tracksuit that accentuated her perfect figure.

"How is it? Low-profile, right?" Bibi Dong asked Nan Xuan with a smile.

"Uh, you should say, 'I'm just a little bit more low-profile than an assassin,'" Nan Xuan said, looking at Bibi Dong's attire. With a figure like that, there was no way to be low-profile.

Just seventeen, the prime of her youth, 178 centimeters tall, a heart-shaped face, dark pink long hair, curves in all the right places... sigh, my wife just can't be low-profile, Nan Xuan monologued.

A few days ago, most of the people in their batch who had awakened their martial souls had celebrated their 17th birthdays, and Nan Xuan and the others were no exception. He had wanted to find Bibi Dong to celebrate together, but for the sake of a better life, he had given up on it.

"Hmph, you're such a chatterbox. Let's go quickly; I don't want to be discovered by my teacher." Bibi Dong stepped on Nan Xuan's toe, gave a coquettish huff, and walked ahead.

Nan Xuan chuckled and followed after her.

Nan Xuan was 187 centimeters tall with black, tousled hair, a slender and well-proportioned build, and a white casual outfit that actually complemented Bibi Dong's black one quite well.

Not long after the two of them left the city, Qian Xunji received notification of their departure.

"Pope, the Saintess and that boy have left the city." The person reporting the information below the Pope Palace spoke with a trembling voice.

Qian Xunji waved his hand, signaling everyone present to leave.

After watching everyone depart, he could no longer suppress the rage in his heart. With reddened eyes, he said, "Bibi Dong, you can only be mine. My good disciple, you can only belong to Martial Soul Hall."

Over in the Star Dou Great Forest, Nan Xuan used the reputation of the Momo Treasure Appraisal House to recruit a powerhouse at the Soul Emperor level, whose martial soul was the Ice Soul Blade.

They hadn't traveled long before the trio discovered a 12,000-year-old Sucking Demon Vine in the central core region.

Upon seeing it, Nan Xuan was overjoyed and immediately decided to choose it.

After a brief struggle, Nan Xuan delivered the finishing blow, and a black spirit ring floated up.

Nan Xuan sat cross-legged and began to absorb his first-ever black spirit ring.

Bibi Dong stood by nervously; according to the records of Martial Soul Hall, the spirit rings of such demon vines were extremely difficult to absorb because they were evil spirit beasts in life, capable of draining blood, spirit power, and mental energy.

After a day of anxious waiting by Bibi Dong, Nan Xuan finally completed the absorption.

Nan Xuan exhaled a breath, stood up immediately, and planted a kiss on Bibi Dong.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Bibi Dong felt shy from the sudden kiss, especially with someone else nearby.

The recruited Soul Emperor said, "I didn't see anything."

Seeing that the situation was awkward, Nan Xuan stopped his actions, gave a light cough, and said excitedly to Bibi Dong, "Your future cultivation is now settled."

Bibi Dong knew what he was referring to, but she didn't speak of it, as there was still an outsider present.

The three of them packed their things and returned to a hotel near the Star Dou Great Forest. After Nan Xuan paid the recruitment fee, the man left.

"Come on, tell me quickly, how does it assist in cultivation?" Once they were back in the hotel room, Bibi Dong asked immediately.

Nan Xuan smiled without saying a word, instead activating his fifth spirit skill, Data Transmission.

A steady stream of spirit power flowed from Nan Xuan's martial soul into Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong hurriedly began to absorb it and cultivate.

Before long, she broke through to level 50.

Bibi Dong looked at Nan Xuan with an indescribable expression; this matter was truly too rare.

Directly infusing spirit power into someone else to facilitate their cultivation—only a god could do that, right?

"Xiao Xuan, how did you do that? This is too miraculous," Bibi Dong said, looking at Nan Xuan in astonishment.

"I just did it like that, how else would you want me to do it?" Nan Xuan looked at Bibi Dong's proud, upright figure and said with a smile.

"You're asking for a beating, I'm talking about serious business." Bibi Dong was already used to Nan Xuan's mouth. In any case, she didn't want to give herself to him yet, and Nan Xuan didn't want to do it right now either, though sometimes when she saw him holding back uncomfortably, she would use other methods to help him resolve it.

"It's just the effect of the spirit skill; I can transmit spirit power and mental energy to anyone," Nan Xuan explained to Bibi Dong with a smile.

"Then the power you transmitted to me... was it your own spirit power?" Bibi Dong was worried that Nan Xuan had used his own cultivation to help her reach level 50, so she asked anxiously.

"Of course not, my silly wife. This is another characteristic of my martial soul; it can store other people's spirit power. I opened that Network World just to earn some cultivation fees and support you." Nan Xuan patted Bibi Dong's head, telling her to set her mind at ease; he wouldn't be that foolish.

Bibi Dong found herself increasingly unable to fathom Nan Xuan's martial soul; its characteristics were one more bizarre and practical than the last.

"This spirit skill must have huge limitations, right?" Bibi Dong asked with concern, still afraid that the skill might harm Nan Xuan.

"For me, there are almost none. Alright, stop worrying about me. When have I ever lied to you? We've been tired all day, it's time to rest." Nan Xuan playfully pinned Bibi Dong beneath him.

"You were the one who said you'd wait until you were 18 for that, why are you trying to get your saliva all over me?" Bibi Dong looked at Nan Xuan's actions, thought of some happy memories, and looking into his eyes, said with a smile.

Nan Xuan: "..."

Nan Xuan: "How about I act like a beast for once?"

Bibi Dong: "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. You still have to hunt for my spirit ring tomorrow."
