Meanwhile, Qing Muya’s squad broke through the shield walls in the [Sword] dungeon, while Qing Muyu’s permanent-binding God-Serving Position talent remained a source of concern.

• The Golden Dawn Squad worried that Qing Yao treated Qing Muyu as a controllable asset because the God-Serving Position permanently bound its bearer to a team, and Qing Muyu denied deliberately holding back.

• Qing Muya proposed that Chen Ming block the Glory Knight while the Golden Dawn Squad supported him, but Chen Ming said he would handle the BOSS alone.

Chen Ming faced the Glory Knight and proved that its boosted attacks and Peak Duel rules could not overcome his defenses. As he began trading blows with the knight, Qing Muya concluded that Chen Ming might be able to withstand the God-Serving Position.

• Chen Ming charged the fourfold-boosted Glory Knight, broke through its defense, and left it nearly falling from its horse.
• The Glory Knight activated Peak Duel and designated Qing Muyu as its opponent, forcing nearby non-duelists to face tenfold attack damage.

• Chen Ming continued clashing head-on with the Glory Knight, building his Stacking Attack to manifested energy while the Golden Dawn Squad watched.
• Qing Muya decided Chen Ming’s defense gave him a strong chance of withstanding the God-Serving Position.

• Chen Ming told City Lord Xia that he had reached Level 20 and requested as many spatial resources from the Alliance as possible.

Qing Muyu asked to join Chen Ming’s Morning Light Squad and demonstrated her God-Serving Position, a talent that permanently boosted all attributes but risked irreversible damage through defensive load. Chen Ming safely converted 1% of his mental power into Eternal Mental Power because his Absolute Defense gave the load no defense attribute to target.

• The Golden Dawn Squad asked Chen Ming about filling his squad’s vacant spot, and Qing Muya recommended Qing Muyu.
• Qing Muyu asked to join the Morning Light Squad and explained that her God-Serving Position permanently bound a recipient while exposing them to dangerous defensive load.

• Chen Ming chose to convert 1% of his mental power, and his Absolute Defense prevented the defensive load from finding a target.
• The conversion succeeded, granting Chen Ming 1% Eternal Mental Power.

• Chen Ming assigned his mental clones to train Afterimage Execution and Spatial Domain in the Dust Domain Pure Land.
• Chen Ming noticed that three mental clones consumed no mental power and a fourth consumed very little, with their combined power appearing to equal 504.

Chen Ming discovered that Eternal Mental Power let him use skills freely within a limit and used it to create a crude Pure Land in his mental space. His mental clone began leveling automatically, and he wondered whether the Dust Domain Pure Land worked the same way.

• Chen Ming tested Eternal Mental Power and found that skill use consumed no mental power up to 504 points, with only any excess being spent.
