63: Dragon and Tiger Robes
Everyone's gaze immediately focused on the doorway.
Song Ming, dressed in a purple robe, with a tall and slender figure, looking like a Daoist Master, walked in from outside.
Yan Hong blinked, then looked at the pitch-black night outside the window.
He couldn't help but question his life.
How many hours had Song Ming been out?
Two hours?
And all the Great Demons within the Great Qian's borders were gone.
Even if I rode the Great Qian's fastest Dragon Blood Demonic Horse, it would take more than ten days to travel from Song Province to Gan Province.
That's not even considering supplies and rest in between.
So, what exactly happened?
Could Song Ming fly?
Just as he was in a daze, a gust of wind suddenly swept past his face.
A palm kept enlarging before his eyes.
Then, with a 'thwack' sound.
It landed on his right cheek.
Yan Hong gasped in pain, glaring at Zhao Chuan Yuan, who had slapped him.
"Hiss, what are you doing? Why did you hit me?"
Zhao Chuan Yuan slowly retracted his palm, coughing a few times, and said, "Cough, cough, I just wanted to know if I was dreaming!"
"You bastard..." Yan Hong clutched his face, gritting his teeth.
"Hmm, judging by your reaction, I shouldn't be dreaming!"
Since becoming the acting Inspector of the Demon Slayer Division, Zhao Chuan Yuan had never felt such a chaotic state of mind.
He was both shocked that Song Ming had killed all the notable Great Demons within the Great Qian's borders in less than half a day, and terrified that it might all be a trick by Song Ming.
After all, such a thing was truly too astonishing.
Let alone him, even in the thousand-year history of the Great Qian, such a figure had never appeared.
If this matter was true.
Then Yan Hong was probably not wrong; this person truly was an Immortal, without a doubt!
Zhao Chuan Yuan then continued, "Song Ming, you said you've annihilated all the demons within the Great Qian's borders. Can you tell me how you did it?"
Song Ming pondered for a moment.
Then he said seriously, "I have a Spell that allows me to travel ten thousand li in a day with ease. I believe you've all witnessed my speed before!
As for how I killed the demons, I don't think I need to explain much, do I?"
Zhao Chuan Yuan nodded, "Alright, I'll arrange accommodation for you first. Then, in a few days, intelligence from various provinces will successively arrive at Qian Capital. If what you say is true, I will certainly reward you according to your merits!"
Yan Hong smacked his lips, but ultimately said nothing.
He greatly acknowledged Song Ming's strength, but his speed was truly too abnormal.
Even he himself found it hard to believe.
Under the guidance of a Demon Slayer Division Captain.
Song Ming and the others arrived at a three-courtyard residence.
This was the accommodation provided for them by the Demon Slayer Division.
Walking into the courtyard.
With upturned eaves, rockeries, and flowing water, it appeared quite elegant.
Meng Li and Zhang Xinhua both exclaimed in wonder.
Thanks to Song Ming.
Otherwise, they would never have been able to live in such a high-standard courtyard.
It clearly looked like a courtyard only high-ranking Generals could live in.
In fact, they weren't wrong.
The courtyard Zhao Chuan Yuan arranged for them was a privilege only enjoyed by Disciples of the Martial Temple.
Even a Provincial General like Yan Hong couldn't enjoy it.
After all, within the Great Qian's borders, the Martial Temple held supreme respect.
And Geniuses were often concentrated in the Martial Temple, so the status of Martial Temple Disciples was considerably higher than that of Demon Quelling Generals and Generals.
"Lord Song Ming, if you need anything, just have the servants find me!"
The Captain led Song Ming and the others, then said cautiously.
This person was personally arranged by Inspector Zhao, so he naturally dared not neglect him.
"Hmm, I understand. You may leave!"
Song Ming finished speaking and stepped into the main house of the inner courtyard.
Meng Li and Zhang Xinhua exchanged glances, then each walked towards the left and right wing rooms.
Although they were very curious in their hearts.
They also knew it wasn't the time to ask questions.
Junior Brother Song Ming's trip to the four provinces to slay demons must have been extremely tiring.
He definitely needed rest right now.
Inside the main room.
Automatically ignoring the various exquisite and elegant decorations in the room, Song Ming sat cross-legged on the bed.
He began to tally his gains for the day.
First, both the first and second stage hidden quests had been perfectly completed by him.
The first stage quest provided him with 110,000 experience points.
Now, the second stage quest provided him with an additional 350,000 experience points.
His current Rank had already reached Level 40.
Besides that, there was also a golden equipment and an attribute amplification scroll.
Song Ming looked at the golden equipment in his backpack.
【dragon-tiger magic robe】
【Category: Clothing】
【Rank: 40】
【Restricted Profession: Spellcaster】
【Bonus: Mental Energy +220, Spell Damage Reduction 20%, Mana Regeneration +100 points/s, Cooldown Reduction +30%】
【Special Effect: Active Skill, consumes 100 Mana, summons one Dragon and one Tiger. The Tiger-shaped summon deals 500,000 damage to enemies, and the Dragon-shaped summon can block 250,000 damage from enemies!】
After reading the equipment description, a joyful expression immediately appeared on his face.
The attributes of this equipment almost completely surpassed the Purple Ring Magic Robe he obtained from the Hall of Merit treasury.
Song Ming finally took out the attribute amplification scroll.
After using it, it could amplify his various attributes.
Of course, how much it amplified depended purely on his luck.
Without hesitation, Song Ming directly used his Mental Energy to activate the scroll.
Subsequently, the scroll transformed into a golden light and merged into his body.
He then summoned his panel.
A faint golden light appeared before his eyes.

【Rank: 40】
【Strength: 586 → 762】
【Agility: 586 → 762】
【Mental Energy: 1166 → 1516+370 (provided by equipment)】

【Free Attribute Points: 125】
【Skills: Annihilation Aura (Heaven Rank Five Star) → Forbidden Spell: Heaven and Earth Seal (Desolate)

【Talent (Unique): Limitless Breakthrough (Level 5) --- Five skill points per second. By consuming corresponding skill points, skills can be infinitely sublimated!】
【Skill Points: 190822】
【Talent (Profession-inherent): Heaven and Earth Dao Body (Cannot be upgraded)】
"Not bad, all attributes increased by 30%, fairly standard!"
Song Ming looked at his rapidly increasing Mental Energy attribute, revealing a somewhat satisfied smile.
Immediately after, he added all his remaining free attribute points to Mental Energy.
【Mental Energy: 1516 → 1641】
At the same time.
The damage of Heaven and Earth Seal increased again.
【Heaven and Earth Seal (Desolate): Condenses Mana to evolve a great seal, dealing at least 12,600,000 true damage to enemies within a 40,000-meter range, consumes 15 Mana, cooldown 1s】
【To upgrade Heaven and Earth Seal again, 1,000,000 skill points are required】
Song Ming looked at his mere 190,000 skill points and silently shook his head.
However, he now gained five skill points per second.
That would be over 430,000 skill points in a day.
A million skill points wasn't that much.
He could reach it in three days.
It wouldn't be too late to upgrade then!
Song Ming was not in a hurry; the current damage was already sufficient.
Using the current skill points to upgrade the remaining minor skills was the most cost-effective approach.
Moreover, Song Ming still had two profession-exclusive skill books.
He hadn't used them before, precisely to use them after becoming a Myriad Laws Celestial Master!
