"Congratulations, Host. You have completed the main quest: Posture of an Overlord (II). Quest rewards: Purple Mist Divine Skill (overall rating: two and a half stars), 800 Villain Points, and two intermediate draws."
Su Xin's eyes lit up as he looked at the manual in his hands. With the Purple Mist Divine Skill, the one shortcoming in his strength had finally been made up for.
