Collective Improvement, a Celebration Feast, and the Director's Visit!

"It's quite cool."

Shen Xing smiled slightly, then tried to release his mental energy to test the accelerated cultivation effect described in the introduction.

The invisible spiritual force materialized and gently swept across the lake, creating ripples.

As his mental energy continued to be released, his expression changed from relaxed at the beginning to solemn, and finally to shocked.

"This lotus platform... this lotus platform... it's incredibly powerful!?"

He can only be described as awesome.

From the moment you sit on the lotus platform, you can feel an endless stream of spiritual energy flowing into your mind.

No matter how much he consumes, he can replenish it quickly!

The implications are self-evident.

You should know that when he used to cultivate, he had to stop every time his mental energy was exhausted and wait for it to recover naturally.

Now, this Lotus Pond provides him with boundless spiritual energy, which is equivalent to being able to cultivate 24 hours a day without interruption, increasing his efficiency many times over.

"Not only that, when I released my mental energy here, I felt an unprecedented sense of ease, and even the range of my release expanded considerably."

"With these lotus platforms, I'm even confident I can break through to the second level of spiritual power: Control, within three days!"

"That's outrageous! No wonder it's Legendary Rank building."

Shen Xing was amazed.

At the same time, Leina, who was standing next to her, also entered a meditative state.

Like Shen Xing, the surprise on her face gradually turned into shock.

Sitting on the lotus platform, it felt as if an endless stream of magic was flowing into her body, allowing her to unleash her magic to her heart's content.

Some combinations of fire spells that were previously difficult to understand have now become clear.

This lotus platform is truly a divine artifact for cultivation!

"Such a good thing should definitely be shared by everyone."

Shen Xing immediately took out the [Communication Crystal] and summoned all the generals in the territory.

Before long, figures appeared from the archway at the edge of the Lotus Pond.

"Oh! What a huge lake!" Da Hou, holding two axes and looking amazed.

Gorehowl, riding on the back of a dire wolf, nodded thoughtfully and said, "Raising fish here would be quite nice."

"Huh? Miss Nimue... what are you doing?"

They noticed the figure bobbing in the water and all looked on with curiosity.

"Come over here, everyone." Shen Xing waved to them from afar.

Upon hearing this, the generals also withdrew their gaze and quickly took action.

They each displayed their unique abilities.

Hellscream its wings and flew over, carrying Gorehowl and Black Moon Knight Xiao Hei.

Da Hou, Old Knight Fordring, and Black Arrow sat on Fried Chicken's back.

The massive Hippogryph flapped its wings, creating waves on the lake's surface, and quickly flew towards the center of the lake.

Onyxia's method was the simplest; she simply transformed into a shadow and swept across the lake's surface.

Soon, following the lord's instructions, they each occupied a lotus platform.

However, the Fried Chicken was too big, so it had to wait on the central platform for the time being.

Before long, the generals also felt the wonder of the lotus platform, and they all exclaimed in amazement.

Even the usually composed Old Fordring showed a look of shock on his resolute face.

Chapter 195: Collective Promotion, Celebration Banquet, and the Director's Visit!

"It's incredible, I can feel a continuous flow of Holy Light entering my body."

Old Fordring murmured, "A day of meditation here is equivalent to a week of arduous practice, or even longer."

Onyxia's otherworldly face showed a rare look of astonishment. "It's truly amazing. My Control over shadow power has improved to another level, as if I've returned to my peak."

Shen Xing smiled at their surprised looks, then took out a total of eight lotus seeds from his backpack.

With a gentle wave of his hand, he transformed into several streaks of light and flew towards the crowd.

"Boss, what's this?!" Gorehowl snatched the lotus seed and asked curiously.

"You'll know once you eat it," Shen Xing said with a smile.

"Okay!"

Gorehowl responded and, without saying another word, popped it into its mouth.

The other generals followed suit, and even Fried Chicken received his own little snack, which he pecked into his mouth.

Like Leina, they were initially quite confused.

The very next second, they all felt a surge of vitality erupt within them, instantly flowing to their limbs and bones.

It felt as if all the meridians in my body had been opened up, and an unprecedented feeling of exhilaration surged through my body.

My mind became incredibly clear, and my thinking speed increased significantly.

[Your territory hero: Hellscream has consumed a 'Thousand-Year Lotus Seed,' increasing his potential by 10. Current level: 81 (God-Gifted)]

[Due to a significant improvement in aptitude, the speed at which Soul Stone are absorbed increases, and the probability of entering an 'enlightenment' state during breakthroughs is greatly increased.]

[Your territory unit: Gorehowl has consumed a 'Thousand-Year Lotus Seed', its potential is increased by 10, current level: 61 (Chosen)]

[Your territory unit: Tirion Fordring has consumed the 'Thousand-Year Lotus Seed', aptitude +10, current: 84 (God-Gifted)]

[Your...]

The notifications flashed across the screen, and the aptitude of all the generals in the territory increased dramatically.

Even the lowest-ranked items, like the loudest Da Hou and Fried Chicken, have already surpassed 50 points, entering the 'Chosen' category!

Fordring and Hellscream went straight for God-Gifted!

"However... it seems that apart from Leina, no one else has awakened a new talent."

"It simply increases the absorption speed of Soul Stone and the probability of entering an 'enlightenment' state and activating new skills."

Shen Xing seemed to understand something, but quickly came to terms with it.

After all, Leina was the most gifted creature in the territory.

Moreover, she currently only has one talent [Fire Spirit Body], while other heroes typically have at least two talents each, so it's normal for her to have such a significant improvement.

At this moment, the other generals had also gradually absorbed the life force contained in the lotus seeds.

They were surprised to find that their skin seemed to have become fairer and their bodies more energetic, as if they had suddenly become more than ten years younger.

Even those rough-looking orcs had actually become somewhat handsome.

"Oh! Gorehowl, how did you become so effeminate? You look like a female Goblin!?" Da Hou stared at the blood-red orc beside him, looking surprised.

Gorehowl lay on the edge of the lotus platform, gazing at the delicate face reflected in the water, equally incredulous. "No! How did I end up looking like this?"

"My lord, what did you feed us? I feel so hot, am I going to turn into a female orc!?"

Hellscream looked at his own face and found that apart from his features becoming a little thinner, nothing else had changed, which was acceptable.

Even Old Fordring's brows furrowed somewhat, revealing his handsome, straight features.

In his youth, this knight must have been a handsome man who captivated countless young men and women.

As for Leina and Onyxia, they both possessed near-perfect figures and stunningly beautiful faces.

Under the medicinal effects of the Thousand-Year Lotus Seed, the two beauties became even more radiant.

Like a perfect piece of raw jade, their charm is fully revealed after being sculpted by nature, and every smile and frown is enough to captivate people.

Shen Xing looked around and nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, everyone, continue your cultivation."

"This lotus seed contains potent medicinal properties. If we digest it now, we might even be able to reach a higher level."

"Yes, my lord!"

Everyone responded in unison, entering a meditative state and appearing highly motivated.

Even the Fried Chicken on the platform absorbed the energy contained in dozens of Soul Stones and began to digest it.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was noon.

"Ding-dong!"

In the real world, the familiar doorbell rang.

Shen Xing opened his eyes, and said thoughtfully, "Is it Qin Lang and the others? Didn't we agree to meet at two o'clock in the afternoon? Why are they here so early?"

With some doubt, his consciousness emerged from the Land of Mist.

Then, he went to the door and turned on the surveillance camera.

Suddenly, a pair of long, tanned legs came into view.

"Open the door! Open the door!" Yu Feifei shouted into the microphone.

"What are you doing here so early?" Shen Xing asked.

"Didn't we say I'd come over to cook today?" Yu Feifei said, "I bought a lot of seafood, including hairy crabs, so I came over to prepare the ingredients."

"Oh."

Shen Xing responded and then pressed the remote control button to open the courtyard gate.

A short while later, a tall figure walked in.

She was still wearing tight denim shorts today, perfectly showcasing her stunningly proportioned legs.

She wore a fitted white cropped T-shirt that just covered her navel, revealing glimpses of her slender waist.

She exuded energy yet possessed a sophisticated air, like an international supermodel who had just stepped off the runway.

"What were you doing just now?" Yu Feifei asked, glancing around the lobby while carrying two large bags.

"Cultivate your spiritual power," Shen Xing replied.

"Oh." Yu Feifei responded listlessly, "Then you can continue, don't worry about me, I'll call you when you're done."

With that, she walked toward the kitchen area on her own.

Soon after, the sounds of kitchen utensils clattering and meat being chopped on a cutting board could be heard from inside.

Shen Xing had originally planned to help, but after thinking about it, she decided against it, so as not to cause trouble for others.
