Wang Dong'er: I must thoroughly humiliate that person!

Inside the laboratory.

At a certain moment, Jiang Ci'an slowly opened his eyes on the meditation cushion.

His gaze shifted from brief confusion to clarity. Recalling his experience in the Virtual World, he couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.

He was looking forward to seeing the expression on the Angel Lady's face when they met again.

It would surely be very interesting.

Shaking his head, Jiang Ci'an didn't waste any time. He quickly organized the various data he had obtained regarding the Angel Divine Set while turning his head toward the gray figure not far away, who was carefully studying a white soul ring.

"Elder Yi, I have another inspiration."

In the distance, Elder Yi's fingers paused slightly. He shifted his gaze from the soul ring to Jiang Ci'an's face.

He didn't press for details immediately, but simply set down the white soul ring and walked straight over.

Over this period, Elder Yi had long since grown accustomed to Jiang Ci'an's so-called "inspirations."

This kid could always come up with some strange and bizarre ideas after meditation, and these ideas were often accompanied by a massive amount of data, precise to an infuriating degree.

He didn't know where the boy's inspiration came from, but he had no intention of digging deeper.

Everyone had secrets; this kid had his own extraordinary qualities, and there was no need to get to the bottom of things.

What interested him more were the "inspirations" themselves.

Jiang Ci'an held nothing back, unfolding the data he had acquired in the Virtual World regarding the Angel Divine Set and spreading it all out before Elder Yi.

Elder Yi's spiritual magic proved incredibly useful at this moment, avoiding unnecessary waste of time to the greatest extent possible.

Looking at the neatly organized data before him, Elder Yi's eyes brightened. He instantly entered his element and began asking questions about specific details.

Jiang Ci'an answered fluently.

Inside the laboratory, the sound of discussion began to rise.

The two of them went back and forth like this, bit by bit constructing the complete framework for the methods of "Self-Condensing Soul Bone" and "Acquired Spirit Aperture."

Time flew like an arrow, the sun and moon like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

In Shrek City, the afternoon sun was warm and lazy, shrouding the entire city in a soft, warm hue.

On the street, an unremarkable carriage slowly drove in from the direction of the city gate, moving at a leisurely pace along the main road.

Inside the carriage, two young girls were huddled together, chatting in low voices.

Wang Dong'er's blue-pink hair was let down. She had grown a head taller than half a year ago, and the slightly curled tips of her hair framed a face with increasingly delicate features, making her look full of vitality.

At this moment, with her hands on her hips and her head tilted back, exposing her snow-white, slender neck, she leaned against the carriage wall with an exceptionally arrogant air:

"Hmph, my second ring is two thousand five hundred years old! When I go back, I'll definitely be able to take that guy down!"

Dong'er's proud "Big White Goose" mode was in full effect.

Over the past half year, because she had been spending every day with Xiao Xiao, her attitude toward cultivation had undergone a earth-shaking change.

She no longer slept in for morning practice, no longer slacked off during meditation, and even started paying attention to nutritional balance in her meals.

Of course, there was another very important reason: once, on a whim, she had sparred with a certain guy, only for him to pin her to the ground in a single move.

That scene had been truly undignified.

With many factors combined, she had completely buckled down, losing all traces of her former laziness.

In half a year, she had successfully reached level twenty.

Although it wasn't particularly difficult to raise one's Soul Power Level during the Soul Grand Master stage, and she had a good foundation despite her previous laziness—not to mention the monthly customized cultivation supplements that a certain guy never failed to provide—she had still reached level twenty!

After successfully hunting a soul beast and absorbing a second soul ring beyond her limit, her soul power had surged directly to level twenty-two, and she wasn't far from level twenty-three!

At this moment, she was full of confidence!

Beside her, Xiao Xiao blinked, looking at her best friend's "I am invincible" expression with a strange look in her eyes.

"Are you sure? Last time you sparred with Ci'an, he gave you a ten-move head start, and you didn't even touch him. Once those ten moves were up, you couldn't even withstand a single strike."

The expression on Wang Dong'er's face froze instantly, then her cheeks puffed up as she looked at Xiao Xiao with a hint of resentment.

Don't bring up painful memories!

Xiao Xiao blinked, looking back innocently.

Then, the next moment, Dong'er looked at Xiao Xiao, her eyes lighting up as if she had suddenly thought of something.

She leaned forward, wrapped both arms around Xiao Xiao's waist, and clung to her like a koala:

"Good Xiao Xiao, let's take that guy down together!"

Xiao Xiao turned her head to look at the face pressed against her shoulder and spoke decisively.

"Not going."

Between her best friend and her childhood sweetheart, she decisively chose the latter.

Dong'er's expression remained unchanged, though she had long anticipated this in her heart.

Her best friend had long since been molded by that guy; no matter what he said, Xiao Xiao would never refuse.

But...

Dong'er's blue-pink eyes flickered slightly, revealing a glimmer of world-shaking wisdom!

She leaned close to Xiao Xiao's ear and whispered, "Don't you want to thoroughly defeat your Ci'an and then bully him however you like?"

Xiao Xiao, who had been unmoved, saw her eyes flicker noticeably.

She lowered her gaze as strange images instinctively began to surface in her mind, and her throat moved involuntarily.

"...Bullying Ci'an together, wouldn't that be a bit bad?"

Her voice was slightly guilty, yet filled with eagerness.

"What's bad about it?" Wang Dong'er said with a straight face. "It's just a normal spar!"

Xiao Xiao pursed her lips, her eyes full of hesitation, but in the end, she couldn't resist. She turned to look at Dong'er and probed, "Then, just a little spar?"

Wang Dong'er narrowed her eyes, the corners of her mouth curling high. "Mhm, just a little spar."

Although she had never known exactly what level that guy's cultivation had reached, she figured it couldn't be more than level twenty or so.

Now that both she and Xiao Xiao had broken through level twenty and had both absorbed soul rings beyond their limits, she didn't believe that guy could still win against their combined strength!

At the thought of finally making that guy lose for once, she couldn't help but hum lightly.

The carriage moved slowly and soon came to a stop outside Ping'an Pharmacy.

Outside, the rough voice of Er Ming, who was responsible for taking Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao to hunt for soul rings, drifted in: "Dong'er, we're here. Come down with your friend."

"Coming, Second Daddy!"

Lifting the carriage curtain, two figures jumped down one after the other. They then walked through the front hall with practiced ease, bypassed the screen wall, and arrived at the backyard.

Half a month later, the training ground in the backyard remained the same, with its blue-brick floor, green bamboo in the corners, and training equipment neatly stacked to the side.

Wang Dong'er couldn't wait to find that person's figure, ready to quickly set her world-shaking plan into motion.

Then, with just one glance.

Wang Dong'er spotted the young man sitting upright on a meditation cushion in the center of the training ground not far away.

And...

The terrifying, blood-red energy field that swirled around the youth like layers of mist.
