"Slap!"

The oversized Spiritual Talisman crashed the Black Lantern forcefully to the ground.

In an instant, dust and smoke rose in all directions.

Chang Ying immediately raised her hand, and the Spiritual Talisman followed, flying up.

With the girl's hand falling, the fly swatter smashed down again.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

In the pitch-black wilderness, Lu Ran pulled down his red headscarf and looked towards the battlefield.

Goodness.

This huge wooden plank made the ground tremble.

If it hit someone's butt, wouldn't that be terrible?

"Chang Ying! Chang Ying?" Tian Tian's voice grew higher and higher.

Chang Ying finally stopped.

The Black Lantern was already shattered, and even the mist had been dispersed...

Tian Tian, being a sensitive and thoughtful person, hesitated for a moment before asking, "Chang Ying, are you unhappy? Don't you like your position in the team?"

"No," Chang Ying said, waving away the large Spiritual Talisman with a hand and frustratingly scratching her head, "I just can never draw the talisman I want."

Lu Ran looked at Chang Ying and smiled secretly.

Look at the state the kid's been pushed into.

Using defense talismans as if they were attack talismans.

Spiritual Talismans, oh Spiritual Talismans, you really are... wait.

Lu Ran suddenly realized something.

In the future, in his God Demon Sculpture Garden, Spiritual Talisman Divine Sculptures would also be activated.

And all sculptures in the garden, whether of Evil Demons, would ultimately be under my control.

So, my personally executed Spiritual Talisman Divine Technique·Five Treasure Signs...

Could it mean I can draw whatever I want to?

Is the principle of this Divine Technique truly a matter of chance, or is there a deity playing tricks behind it?

"Hmm..." Lu Ran pondered to himself, feeling it was more likely the latter.

After all, the greed of the Divine·Spiritual Sign was obvious to everyone.

So now the question is!

If I can freely draw talismans with my own activated Divine Sculptures, why should Chang Ying continue to worship the True God·Spiritual Sign?

Why doesn't she switch to following me, Lu Ran?

Why not come and believe in me, in the "Fake God·Spiritual Sign" in my Sculpture Garden?

The more he thought about it, the more shocked Lu Ran was by his own idea!

Does this imply that the believers of all sects in the world could switch to my side?

This...?

Lu Ran touched his chin.

Oh, no!

Have I become a deity?

No, more precisely said...

Have I become All Gods?

"The odds are clear, only one in five," Deng Yutang's voice came from not far away.

"I will draw again in a moment!" Chang Ying muttered discontentedly, "I refuse to believe it will still be a defense sign."

"You are already very impressive," Tian Tian, who rarely took the initiative to approach Chang Ying, whispered, "The defense sign is quite powerful in your hands."

"Hehe~" Chang Ying's face changed instantly, and she suddenly became cheerful again.

"Quickly cool down the Divine Technique, we should go," Tian Tian urged.

"Yes, ma'am!"

While the two of them were still talking, Lu Ran abruptly turned his head towards an even darker place in the distance.

There, a Black Lantern was wandering far away.

The black wooden handle hanging above it was horizontally suspended as if someone was holding it.

Could this Four-sided Lantern be rotating just like a carousel?

Lu Ran confirmed several times that no one was around, then he raised a hand.

"Huh~"

Energy surged, and canine teeth appeared.

From the Evil Dog Clan, the Evil Technique·Evil Tooth!

The crisp sound traveled far and wide.

With just one hit, the Black Lantern shattered, turning into streams of mist.

A mere Mist Realm·Black Lantern simply couldn't withstand the powerful Stream Grade Skill.

"This is too satisfying."

Lu Ran looked at his hand and suddenly felt that everything had become so simple.

Indeed!

The team instructor's limitations have stifled my performance!

"Ah, I got it! I really got it!"

From a distance behind, the joyful shouts of Chang Ying could be heard.

Lu Ran turned to look, seeing a total of five Spiritual Talismans revolving around Chang Ying.

Had she finally drawn an attack talisman?

The attack talisman, just like the defense talisman, had turned into a wooden object after flying out of the talisman cylinder.

"Lu Ran!" Chang Ying called out loudly, "Lu Ran?"

"What?" Lu Ran shouted back.

Chang Ying urged, "Quick! Help me find an enemy!

The attack talisman won't last long, it'll disappear soon!"

Lu Ran: "..."

In this desolate wilderness, and not near Black Grave Mound, it would be good to see a wandering Black Lantern now and then!

I've just secretly killed one, where should I find one for you?

"Hurry up, the attack talisman is going to fade!"

Chang Ying was desperate, eager to show her new teammates her strength.

Lu Ran snorted, "How about attacking me then?"

"That's not good," Chang Ying hesitated, "You may not realize it's made of wood, but the pointy end at the front is very sharp.

Once it starts moving, its lethality is no less than a Sword Cultivator's flying sword!"

Lu Ran replied irritably, "I was just saying, do you really want to kill me?"

"Don't be nasty," Chang Ying pouted, dropping her hand.

Five regular-sized Spiritual Talismans circled around her, lightly dancing.

They fluttered past Chang Ying's neck, through her armpits, across her waist, and around her legs...

The key point was, the speed of the five Spiritual Talismans was incredibly fast!

Such a scene left the three of them astounded!

What a terrifying Divine Technique?

It had given Chang Ying such incredible control!

Last month, during their training, Lu Ran had also witnessed a similar scene.

Sword One's follower, Guan Yiren, had summoned flying swords that danced playfully around her, obedient as children.

Yet the display that Chang Ying now showed was no less remarkable than a Sword One follower's!

Why else would the Divine·Spiritual Sign be ranked fourth?

Even with such a heavy "gambling" element, its Divine Technique is truly strong!

"Huh?" Lu Ran turned sharply, his eyes bright, "It looks like there's a Black Lantern over there, I'll draw it over for you!"

"Ah..." Chang Ying looked troubled.

"How so?" Lu Ran turned his head and caught sight of the Spiritual Talismans entwined around Chang Ying, collapsing into nothing.

Everyone: "..."

"Give me three minutes, it will be ready soon!" Chang Ying said in haste, immediately closing her eyes.

Deng Yutang frowned slightly, thinking it wasn't good to linger here.

But seeing that Tian Tian remained silent, he also suppressed his impatience and swallowed his words.

The three minutes passed in a flash.

"Rustle!"

Chang Ying summoned the talisman cylinder first thing, shaking it vigorously.

"Heavenly Sprite, Earthly Sprite, rise, great Spiritual Talisman!"

Muttering to herself, suddenly, Chang Ying's voice rose, "Attack talisman, obey my command, you shall come out!"

"Huh~"

Under the expectant gazes, a ghostly Spiritual Talisman floated mid-air, slowly rotating.

Then, streams of mist stretched down, flowing towards Chang Ying's body, replenishing her Divine Power.

Chang Ying's eyes widened, her entire being petrified in place, as if struck by lightning!

Assist sign?

The assist sign that replenishes Divine Power for the target...

With a "plop," Chang Ying sat on the ground, her gaze blank, completely dejected.

Above her head, the assist sign continued to rotate slowly, dutifully supplying Divine Power to its master.

Deng Yutang turned his head away, his expression one of secondhand embarrassment.

In the shadows, Lu Ran also placed a hand on his forehead.

A gambling addict... indeed a gambling addict.

"Chang Ying." Only Tian Tian felt sympathetic and consoled her, "It's all... well, it's all chance, it's okay."

What else could they say?

They couldn't tell her it was fate!

Tian Tian stepped forward, "We have twenty more days of training here, you'll have plenty of chances to shine."

"Hmm." Chang Ying nodded slowly, regaining her composure and getting up, "Let's go, move out!"

"Okay!" Tian Tian immediately nodded.

Seeing this, Chang Ying let out a sigh of relief.

She'd been a believer for over three months; how could she not know her own performance when drawing talismans?

She was already used to it!

It was just a lingering hope.

And the play must go on.

Because letting everyone wait three minutes for nothing required some explanation...

While the trio was preparing to set out, Lu Ran had already quietly approached the direction of the Black Lantern.

"Huh~"

On a dark hilltop, the Black Lantern suddenly changed direction.

It was hard to distinguish the front, back, left, and right of such a Four-sided Lantern.

But the lantern's handle above provided Lu Ran with a clue.

With the black wooden handle suspended horizontally, one might imagine an invisible person holding the lantern.

"Zzz—"

Mist erupted under Lu Ran's feet, and he slid backward sharply.

"Bang!"

As expected, when the Black Lantern detected humans, it chose to explode first.

Threads of Black Fire spread, completely merging with the dense night.

Evil Technique·Disaster Fire Cage!

Killing a thousand enemies at the cost of injuring oneself by eight hundred.

Too bad, the little lamb had run too fast!

The Black Lantern only hurt itself by eight hundred, totally missing the human...

"Zzz—"

The fog rose once more, and the airflow surged.

Lu Ran's pitch-black eyes shimmered with a strange luster.

Eerie and terrifying.

He, who should have slashed with the blade, suddenly stopped his Divine Technique·Immortal Hoof and raised his foot instead?

"Break!"

Lu Ran could barely contain his excitement, a wave of energy churning under his foot, kicking hard against the lantern.

From the Soul-splitting Demon Clan, the Evil Technique·Soul-splitting Demon Hoof!

This Technique was equivalent to War Trample, supposed to be stomping on the ground and blasting away surrounding creatures.

Instead, Lu Ran chose to stomp directly on the lantern!

"Bang!!"

The sound of explosion rang out.

The lantern instantly shattered, and the airwave tumbled!

Lu Ran landed, sliding sideways on the ground to ease the momentum.

In one word: exhilarating!

Lu Ran knew he should have used a blade for an easier and more efficient attack.

Even better, he should use long-distance casting, directly throwing out the Evil Tooth, biting the lantern apart with its vicious fangs for safety!

But...

Exhilaration was all that mattered!

I've killed so many Evil Demons, activated two Evil Sculptures.

Now that the nights are clear of crows following, can't I enjoy myself?

"Thrilling~"

Lu Ran felt refreshed.

There were twenty more days of fun ahead!

Leading Evil Dogs and carrying Soul-splitting Demons...

I'm going to storm your Black Grave Mound!
