[Yandere Mad Beauty of Martial Soul Hall: Damn you! If you've got the guts, stop the mute! Only know how to abuse your permissions?]

[Li Yuan: What's that, you're not convinced?]

Pope Palace.

"Ahhhhhh!"

"Li Yuan, you deserve to die!"

Bibi Dong was so furious she nearly threw the "brick" in her hand, her exquisite face flushed with shame and frustration.

This damned Li Yuan!

He acted however he pleased just because he had the permissions.

And yet, she couldn't do a thing about him.

[Viper-Hearted Big Sister: Tsk tsk tsk, see that? This is what happens when you court death.]

This sentence instantly resonated with the other "onlookers" in the group, and rows of "+1" and "like" emojis flooded the screen.

[Li Yuan: Alright, the little interlude is over, let's get back to business. I have a big announcement for everyone: our Chat Group has leveled up!]

[Li Yuan: No more nonsense, let's start by handing out a wave of upgrade rewards! We'll continue chatting after the rewards are distributed. (Rubbing hands emoji)]

Li Yuan knew well that empty promises might work for a short time, but only for a short time.

If he wanted these "oxen and horses" to work for him, he had to pull out substantial rewards.

The Chat Group was the same; without some tangible benefits, everyone's enthusiasm would only last three minutes, and before long, the group would be empty.

[Loves Eating Carrots: There are rewards? That's so great! Long live Group Leader brother! (Cheering)]

[Richest Little Heiress of Heaven Dou: What are the rewards? This young lady isn't short on money.]

[Viper-Hearted Big Sister: I don't think it's money; it must be a very good reward!]

[Ice-Snow Smart: That's right, Group Leader brother is so capable, how could the rewards he gives be ordinary?]

[Yandere Mad Beauty of Martial Soul Hall: Hmph! A bunch of ignorant bumpkins! Isn't it just some small favors? Is it really worth getting this excited? Truly haven't seen the world! (Noble and disdainful)]

[Single Living Housewife Who Runs an Academy: Oh? That's a big mouth you've got there. If you're so capable, don't claim it later. Why are you putting on such a show? (Middle finger emoji)]

[Yandere Mad Beauty of Martial Soul Hall: I won't claim it, so I won't! What good things has this Empress not seen? Do you think I care about your scraps?

[I'll put my words here today: I, Bibi Dong, would rather die, jump off the highest peak of the Douluo Continent to my death, starve to death, or die poor! I will absolutely never claim a single thing from this trash group! (Resolute and decisive)]

[Li Yuan: 666, I hope you can stay this unyielding forever!]

[Yandere Mad Beauty of Martial Soul Hall: Hmph! This Empress never regrets!]

Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong leaned against her couch, looking with disdain at the "bumpkins" in the group who were excited over a few rewards.

A bunch of people from small backgrounds; they really hadn't seen the world!

She, Bibi Dong, as the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall, possessed the world's wealth and resources. What rare treasures or soul guidance devices had she not seen?

Could this trashy Chat Group produce something that would move her or something she hadn't seen before?

Bibi Dong lifted her chin haughtily, her purple eyes filled with contempt.

If she, Bibi Dong, claimed this reward today, she would write her name backward.

Li Yuan muttered to himself: "System, claim the Chat Group upgrade rewards."

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Invite count +1.]

[1. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: One level of soul power!]

[2. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: One Adaptive Growth God-Bestowed Soul Bone!]

[3. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: One manual for the Daoist movement technique, Cloud Ladder Step!]

[Adaptive Growth God-Bestowed Soul Bone: 1. Randomly obtain a soul bone that you do not possess and that perfectly matches your attributes. 2. The age of the soul bone grows as the soul master's strength increases. 3. The soul bone skill can be self-created to be the most suitable for the user. 4. Can replace existing soul bones without side effects.]

[Cloud Ladder Step: Once mastered, one's movements become as light as a wild goose, the footwork is profound and peerless. At the peak, one is wrapped in innate clear qi; feet land on nothingness yet find steps, cloud ladders form beneath the feet, condensing mist into ladders and gathering wind into stairs.]

Holy crap!

Isn't this heaven-defying?

A God-Bestowed Soul Bone that grows with the soul master's strength?

It even guarantees a soul bone one doesn't already have.

More importantly, it perfectly matches one's own attributes.

And it even allows for self-created soul bone skills.

This is no different from crafting a soul bone by hand!

Not to mention the Daoist movement technique, Cloud Ladder Step.

This is a top-tier technique for both survival and pursuit!

Li Yuan took a deep breath; even as a transmigrator, he was stunned by these rewards.

One could only say, as expected of the Chat Group system.

In the face of the Chat Group, what were the Asura God or the Sea God worth?

[Distribute member rewards?]

Li Yuan nodded: "Distribute."

[Congratulations to all members! The Chat Group has leveled up, and member rewards are now being sent!]

[One Adaptive Growth God-Bestowed Soul Bone, one Cloud Ladder Step manual, and two consolation prize Soul Power Boosting Pills.]

[Adaptive Growth God-Bestowed Soul Bone: 1. Randomly grants a soul bone of a type not yet possessed that is perfectly compatible with one's attributes. 2. The age of the soul bone grows alongside the soul master's strength. 3. Soul bone skills can be self-created to best suit the user. 4. Can replace existing soul bones without side effects.]

[Cloud Ladder Step: Upon initial learning, one's movements become as light as a wild goose with peerless, mysterious footwork. At mastery, one draws upon innate pure energy to shroud the body; feet land on nothingness yet find footing, clouds form under the soles, mist condenses into ladders, and wind gathers into steps.]

[Soul Power Boosting Pill: Increases soul power by one level without side effects.]

[All group members may participate in the red packet draw, based on random probability.]

Seeing this message, the previously lively chat group instantly fell silent.

Everyone stared at the chat interface in disbelief.

They knew what soul bones were; they were the ultimate treasures for soul masters!

But what the hell was a "God-Bestowed Soul Bone"?

They had never even heard of it.

Even more outrageous was the description that followed.

Automatic growth?

Perfectly compatible attributes?

Able to self-create soul bone skills based on one's own ideas?

And replaceable without side effects?

One had to know that in the world of soul masters, encountering a soul bone that matched one's attributes was harder than ascending to heaven!

Most soul masters might not even possess a single soul bone in their entire lives, let alone one that perfectly matched them.

Yet this "God-Bestowed Soul Bone" not only guaranteed a type one didn't have, but it also perfectly matched, grew, and allowed for self-created skills...

This level of treatment probably couldn't even be matched by a soul bone dropped by a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, right?

Good heavens!

And then there was that "Cloud Ladder Step" technique.

Although they didn't quite understand what a "technique" specifically was, the description sounded incredibly profound, and it was distributed right after the God-Bestowed Soul Bone.

Even with their toes, they could tell it was an absolute treasure of the world!

Even if their luck was so bad that they couldn't snatch the first two items, weren't there still two "Soul Power Boosting Pills"?

Increasing soul power by one level without side effects was also a rare, sought-after treasure!

Surely, they couldn't be so unlucky as to fail to snatch even a Soul Power Boosting Pill, right?

Wait... Group Leader, are you for real?

Isn't this reward pool a bit too luxurious?

How about you slap us once?

Otherwise, we'd feel too embarrassed to claim them.

Just as everyone was immersed in shock and ecstasy, their brains running at high speed as they pondered how to increase their winning odds, someone had already made the first move.

[Congratulations to Big Cat in the Night for obtaining: Soul Power Boosting Pill x1!]

A system notification ruthlessly shattered the silence.

[Big Cat in the Night: Sigh, what a pity... I didn't snatch the soul bone or the technique.]

In the Star Luo Empire, Zhu Zhuqing looked at the warm pill that had appeared out of thin air in her hand. Although she felt a bit of regret for not snatching the better items, she was still happy.

After all, the rewards were limited, and being able to snatch a Soul Power Boosting Pill was already an unexpected joy.

Holy crap!

There's a sneak attacker!

The others finally snapped out of their daze, frantically tapping the golden red packet icon that appeared on their screens as fast as they could.

Their fingers were moving so fast they were practically blurring.

Seeing this, Li Yuan also hurriedly joined in to snatch them.

Although he already had these rewards, if he could get a few more, why not?
