"It seems Xiao Xue is going to be invincible now."

Venti chewed on the fruit, a playful smile dancing on his face.

That was fine, too.

It saved him from having to keep a constant eye on Martial Soul Hall, fearing that silly girl might get bullied.

Just then, a faint sigh echoed in his ear.

"Teacher..."

Shui Yue'er's voice, filled with resentment, drifted over.

Venti turned his head to see his female disciples looking at him with incredibly complex expressions.

Shui Bing'er bit her red lip, her usually cold eyes now brimming with envy.

Even the typically shy Bai Chenxiang was gazing longingly at Qian Renxue's name on the Sky Curtain, her small hands twisting the hem of her skirt.

"What's wrong?"

Venti asked, knowing the answer, and took another bite of his apple.

Shui Yue'er pouted and leaned in close. She was wearing a sky-blue miniskirt today, her long, fair legs dazzling in the sunlight.

Because she was so close, Venti could even smell the faint, sweet fragrance on her.

"Teacher, you're biased!"

"That Qian Renxue has such a powerful token of affection, so what about us?"

"I want a treasure that can borrow divine power too!"

As she spoke, Shui Yue'er puffed out her chest, as if to show she was no less impressive than that young mistress of Martial Soul Hall.

It had to be said that after being baptized by the Vision, these girls had become increasingly alluring in both temperament and figure.

Especially those pairs of legs, each with its own unique charm—some slender, some curvaceous—they were truly a feast for the eyes.

Venti swept his gaze over them, his mood lifting significantly.

This was the life.

"What's the rush?"

"Bread will come, and milk will come too."

"If you perform well in the future, it's not impossible that I'll have even better things for you."

Venti extended a finger and flicked Shui Yue'er lightly on her smooth forehead.

"Ouch!"

Shui Yue'er covered her forehead, but she wasn't angry at all; instead, she blushed at the intimate gesture, and the resentment in her eyes vanished instantly.

The atmosphere nearby suddenly turned somewhat ambiguous and romantic.

Just then, an ill-timed, foolish laugh cut in.

"Hehe..."

Feng Xiaotian stood to the side, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.

He felt like he was being a bit too bright, shining like a beacon.

But he didn't dare leave, so he had to bite the bullet and try to smooth things over.

"Um... Teacher."

"Actually, I think giving away the Gnosis was a great move!"

"Look, the mistress... oh, no, Miss Qian Renxue already has the Angel Martial Soul and is beautiful; she's a perfect match for you, the God of Wind!"

"What do they call that?"

"That's a match made in heaven, a perfect union of talent and beauty!"

As Feng Xiaotian spoke, he carefully observed the expressions of his junior sisters. Seeing they didn't have the urge to kill him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Venti glanced at him and scolded with a laugh:

"You talk too much."

"Go, wash me a few more apples."

As if granted a pardon, Feng Xiaotian quickly acknowledged the order and vanished in a flash.

While there was flirting and banter in Godwind City, the scene on the Sky Curtain shifted once more.

The Golden Ranking trembled, and the wind element did not dissipate with the conclusion of the Gnosis; instead, it grew even more intense.

Following this, a line of even more dazzling characters, accompanied by a grand chant, slowly emerged.

[Rare Treasure Ranking Third Place: Skyward Harp!]

The scene suddenly widened.

High above the clouds, a harp of magnificent design appeared... no, upon closer inspection, it looked more like a longbow.

Crafted entirely from the unknown Azure Sky Wood, the bow frame resembled the spread wings of an angel, with every string flowing with the pure rhythm of the wind.

It hovered silently at the zenith of the firmament, surrounded by visible musical notes dancing in the air.

Though it was a weapon, it gave one the illusion of listening to the growth of all things amidst the song of a wandering bard.

[Holder: Anemo Archon Venti]

This name again!

The people across the entire continent were numb by now.

From the Vision to the Gnosis, and now, the Skyward Harp.

Who exactly is this Anemo Archon Venti? Why does he possess all the good things?

Immediately following, the Sky Curtain provided an introduction.

[Skyward Harp] [Description: A harp-bow symbolizing the high song of the wind dragon. It was forged by the Anemo Archon to commemorate the dragon that fought alongside him. The sound of the harp can calm storms, and the bowstring can pierce the firmament.] [Inherent Ability: Poetry of Echoing Heavens.] [Effect: Every attack by the holder carries critical damage from the Anemo element, with a high probability of triggering area-of-effect Wind Blade, ignoring terrain and evasion.]

Before the crowd could recover from its gorgeous appearance and formidable attributes, the Sky Curtain impatiently announced the reward.

Perhaps because this bow was the companion weapon of the Anemo Archon himself, the reward this time appeared exceptionally simple and brutal.

[Given that this item is associated with the Anemo Archon, it ranks third on the Rare Treasure Ranking!] [Hereby granting a reward!] [Reward: Quality sublimation of the Skyward Harp!] [Sublimation Path: Advanced to—Supreme Divine Artifact!] [Advancement Effect I: All original amplification effects are doubled!] [Advancement Effect II: Granted trait—Absolute Penetration!] [Absolute Penetration: Arrows shot from this bow possess supreme law priority. They can ignore and suppress all defensive divine artifacts, divine skills, and shields! Before a Supreme Divine Artifact, all defenses are but vanity!]

As these lines appeared, the entire Douluo Continent fell into a deathly silence.

Then, a monstrous uproar erupted.

Supreme Divine Artifact?

What kind of concept was this?

To the vast majority of Spirit Masters, and even Titled Douluos, divine artifacts were already legendary existences.

The Asura Demon Sword in the hands of Tang San was a Super Divine Artifact.

Could this Supreme Divine Artifact be a tier higher than a Super Divine Artifact?

And that "Absolute Penetration."

Suppressing all defensive divine artifacts?

Did that not mean that as long as this Anemo Archon willed it, no one could hope to survive before him?

Star Dou Forest, core circle, Life Lake.

The once calm surface of the lake now surged with massive waves due to a violent fluctuation of aura.

A stunning silver-haired figure stood by the lake, her pale purple eyes revealing a rare and intense look of shock.

It was the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.

"Supreme Divine Artifact..."

Gu Yuena's voice trembled as she stared fixedly at the longbow on the Sky Curtain, which radiated a terrifying pressure.

As the former half of the Dragon God of the God Realm, her knowledge was far beyond that of any human.

"Lord, what is this... Supreme Divine Artifact?"

Beside her, the Beast God Di Tian, who had taken human form, was also filled with doubt and uncertainty.

He could feel the threat emanating from that bow—a threat so great that it made the dragon blood within him tremble.

"That is a divine object from legend, one that could only be conceived at the dawn of the universe or within certain supreme planes that transcend the dimensions of the God Realm."
