131: Chapter 132 Summoned Daji

"It's fine."

Elabess responded casually, her tone carrying a relaxed air of indifference. For Lin Muyang, who possessed cheats, it really didn't make a fundamental difference which face he showed to others. It was merely a matter of switching personas.

However, Liu Hongyuan obviously didn't know this. At this moment, excitement and anticipation were intertwined in her heart; that super genius who had always stayed behind the scenes with unfathomable strength was finally going to step onto the stage of his own accord!

Both sides quickly finalized the details of tomorrow night's meeting. Lin Muyang didn't stay any longer, taking Elabess with him to leave Tianqi Tower and return to Ziyun Mountain Villa.

After returning home, he gathered all the young ladies and, without delay, directly activated the Power of Wind Sufficiency. Everyone transformed into a pale green light, flying rapidly toward the southeast. Their destination wasn't a city, but a deep-sea area far from the coastline and deep into the high seas.

There, in the deep, dark seabed with terrifying water pressure, was the perfect place to open high-level secret realm scrolls. Far from human habitation, they wouldn't disturb anyone, and even if they caused a huge commotion, the vast ocean would serve as a barrier.

Upgrading from level 68 to level 70 would often take two or three months for the vast majority of Class Transferees, even those with decent talent and sufficient resources. At this level stage, increasing one level in a month was already considered quite good progress. Even for those top geniuses with SS-Rank Talents or even SSS-Rank Talents who possessed massive resources, it would take at least half a month or so under full effort.

But with Lin Muyang, this common knowledge was completely shattered.

He took out the secret realm scrolls he had just obtained from the National Treasury. The levels of the secret realms sealed in these scrolls were between 65 and 75, with various attributes: there were frost-covered canyons, dark and deep forests, and caverns where lava flowed. He opened them one by one, leading the young ladies like the most efficient harvesters, sweeping through everything.

The monsters within Emperor Level and Sovereign-rank secret realms could no longer pose a substantial threat to Lin Muyang's current team. With the enhancement of multiple God-Tier Auras, the battles were almost one-sided massacres. Experience points flooded into the bodies of Lin Muyang and the participating young ladies like a burst dam.

Next was that level 72 epic-grade Dungeon scroll—[Thunder Tribe]. A small-scale Dungeon for 4 people, meaning the density and strength of the monsters were higher. Lin Muyang entered with Lilia, Elabess, and Seraphina. Within the Dungeon, lightning raged, thunder beasts roared, and thunder element giants stood towering.

However, under Lilia's Holy Light Punishment, Elabess's Dark Erosion, Seraphina's Deadly Assault, and Lin Muyang's own terrifying summon buffs, these powerful thunder creatures were similarly unable to block their path. The final boss, a ten-meter-tall Thunder Tribe Chief who controlled lightning, also crashed to the ground under the violent focused fire after holding out for less than a minute, turning into a wealth of experience and several dazzling beams of equipment light.

When the energy of the last scroll was exhausted and the secret realm entrance quietly dissipated in the deep sea, light flashed continuously around Lin Muyang's body.

Leveled up!

And more than just one level!

From entering the seabed until now, a total of less than three hours had passed. By the time all the scrolls were cleared, Lin Muyang's level had soared all the way from level 68 to level 70! He had completed a leap that would take many people several months to achieve!

"Phew... Level 70." Feeling the surging growth of power and more solid spirit within his body, Lin Muyang let out a long breath, a flash of satisfaction in his eyes. The increase in level brought not only attribute growth but, more importantly, unlocked new possibilities.

During this highly efficient leveling process, Lin Muyang hadn't been idle either. He had Gui Wanwan perform a "Yamas Fate Alteration" on the Eye of Creation, a God-Tier Aura that leaned toward support.

With the consumption of five powerful boss souls, the gray-white nether power flooded into the Aura's core, and the effect of the Eye of Creation underwent a significant change.

It not only retained its original ability to insight into the basic attributes of matter, energy, and spirit, as well as reveal hidden information about items, but also broke through an invisible barrier—now, it could even see through the protection of some "Heavenly Dao" or "World Rules" over certain core information!

This meant that Lin Muyang could now use the Eye of Creation not only to view the target's level and four basic attributes but also have a certain probability of directly spying on the target's talent name, skill composition, and other more core and secret information! This was undoubtedly a huge improvement in intelligence gathering and tactical planning.

Of course, "Yamas Fate Alteration" didn't bring only benefits. This modification also produced a negative effect: his own stealth level was reduced by 9 levels.

However, this negative effect was almost negligible for Lin Muyang. Because while modifying the Eye of Creation, he also had Gui Wanwan strengthen the Divine Concealment Aura again. After the terrifying amplification accumulated through several "Yamas Fate Alterations," the current Divine Concealment Aura's stealth level bonus had soared from the initial +100 to an absurd +378!

A stealth level of over three hundred! What kind of concept was that? It meant that unless the opponent possessed a mythic grade-surpassing, heaven-defying ability or item specifically targeting stealth, it was almost impossible for any existence on the entire Blue Star to see through his stealth. Reducing it by 9 levels? Even if it were reduced by 90 levels, it would still be at a despairingly high level.

Additionally, in the gaps between battles, Lin Muyang also noticed that the Angel Maid Elena seemed to have triggered some kind of growth after frequently using skills to assist in combat, unlocking her ninth "maid skill"—[Tailoring].

The effect of this skill was quite special: Elena could "tailor" and "remake" any armor-type equipment. She could change the appearance and style of the equipment, shaping it into any style that met aesthetic or specific needs, and in the process of remaking, there was a probability of adding an extra random attribute affix to the equipment!

This ability was nothing short of miraculous! One must know that adding new attributes to existing equipment was almost impossible in the outside world. The attributes of equipment were fixed when they were crafted, and unless extremely rare and costly special items (such as certain mythic grade materials) were used, they couldn't be changed at all. Elena's [Tailoring] skill was equivalent to giving equipment the possibility of "growth" or "optimization" in a roundabout way.

Of course, this skill was not without limitations. Each time she "tailored" and remade a piece of equipment, it required about half an hour of focused time from Elena, and the process could not be interrupted. The efficiency wasn't high, but the value was immeasurable.

Lin Muyang even felt that if he opened a specialized "Equipment Beauty and Customization Shop," this service alone would be enough to attract the world's wealthy and powerful in droves. After all, who wouldn't want their top-tier equipment to be not only powerful but also unique, and even potentially stronger?

While taking stock of his gains, Lin Muyang glanced at the storage space within the princess bracelet. Through accumulation, he had already saved up 79 "god-tier modification stones." These stones, which contained the power of creation, were the trump cards he prepared for the ultimate enhancement of his future "end-game equipment." In his plan, he would wait until his level reached 90 or even 100 and he had obtained truly top-tier mythic grade equipment before starting to use these precious modification stones. Using them on low-level or transitional equipment would undoubtedly be a huge waste.

Having finished leveling and taking stock, Lin Muyang no longer lingered in this dark deep sea. He activated the Power of Wind Sufficiency again, leading the young ladies like a sharp arrow in the deep sea, breaking through layers of water pressure and shooting toward the surface, then turned and returned toward Zhongnan City at full speed.

With his current speed, combined with the Aura's enhancement, a distance of several hundred kilometers was just a short journey of a few minutes. When they quietly returned to the Ziyun Mountain Villa, the afterglow of the setting sun had just faded, and night was falling; the entire process was done without anyone knowing, without attracting any outside attention.

It was worth mentioning that when opening those epic-grade and Emperor Level secret realm scrolls, Lin Muyang found that inside each scroll, there was a magic notification note sealed by the authorities. The content was roughly: if the holder feels their strength is insufficient and they cannot clear the secret realm before the scroll naturally expires, please be sure to contact the designated official department at least seven days in advance for handling. Do not discard it or ignore it at will; otherwise, if the secret realm goes out of control and monsters pour out, it will cause unpredictable and serious consequences, and the holder will be held responsible.

This was undoubtedly an important warning and disposal guide for other Class Transferees who obtained high-level scrolls but were unable to challenge them. But with Lin Muyang, these reminders naturally became redundant. The speed at which he cleared them was much faster than the speed at which the scrolls expired.

Returning to the cozy villa, Lin Muyang gathered the young ladies in the spacious living room. Under the curious, expectant, or calm gazes of everyone, he walked to a relatively open spot in the center of the living room.

It was time.

Level 70, unlocking the eighth summon.

[part:gemini-3.1-flash-lite]

With anticipation for a new companion, Lin Muyang took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and communicated with the mysterious core deep within his consciousness that represented his "SSS-Rank Talent".

"The eighth summoning, begin!"

Following his silent command, the energy within his body began to surge and converge along a certain mysterious trajectory. This time, it was slightly different from the previous seven.

Hum— In the air, a complete magic circle did not appear immediately. What appeared first were countless slender, delicate, pink energy threads shimmering with a faint, lustrous glow! These threads, like living spirit snakes, meandered out from the void, attracting, intertwining, and entangling with each other, beginning to outline a prototype of a summoning circle never seen before.

"Pink?" Lin Muyang raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat surprised. According to his experience from the previous times, the color of the summoning circle seemed to have some connection to the incoming young lady. Golden Lilia, silvery-white Gui Wanwan, deep purple Seraphina, crimson Feng Ling... This time it was pink, what could it represent?

It wasn't just the color; as the pink lines became more numerous and dense, a mysterious circle with an extremely complex structure, filled with a certain alluring and dreamy beauty, gradually took complete shape in mid-air. The circle rotated slowly, emitting a strange, indescribable fragrance. This fragrance was not intense, but it seemed to be able to directly tug at one's Heartstrings, carrying a trace of faint temptation, mixed with innocence and sweetness.

The temperature in the living room seemed to have risen slightly. Lilia blinked her large emerald eyes curiously, her little face flushing slightly; Seraphina's purple ears twitched sensitively, her eyes filled with vigilance and inquiry; Elabess curled her lips with interest; Feng Ling tilted her little head; Gui Wanwan also opened her eyes from her light slumber; even the usually cold Ao Qingyan and the dignified Elena were attracted by this strange magic circle and Aura.

Under everyone's fixed gaze, the radiance at the center of the magic circle reached its peak, and then suddenly contracted inward!

The first thing to condense and appear was a pair of fluffy, pink fox ears with snow-white tips, trembling gently! The shape of the ears was perfect, the fur delicate, shimmering with a healthy luster under the light.

Immediately after, long hair as smooth and bright as a pink waterfall cascaded down, with fine specks of light seemingly flickering between the strands. Beneath the long hair, a face of breathtaking beauty slowly lifted.

It was a countenance that transcended the ordinary scope of beauty. Her skin was whiter than snow, delicate enough to be broken by a blow. A pair of eyes seemed to contain two pools of spring water; as her gaze shifted, there was naturally a hint of misty, blurry haze, revealing an unconscious temptation amidst clarity, and the slight upturn of the corners of her eyes added a touch of allure that contrasted with her innocence.

At this moment, those eyes were looking at Lin Muyang with the curiosity of arriving in a strange place, a trace of timid unease, and an instinctive closeness and inquiry toward the summoner before her, looking at him timidly yet boldly.

She wore a simple, classical snow-white gauze dress; the fabric was thin, yet it perfectly outlined the young lady's graceful curves, which were between youth and maturity, breathtakingly exquisite. The hem of the gauze dress reached only above her knees, revealing a pair of straight, slender, and perfectly shaped legs with skin as crystalline as jade, currently pressed slightly together due to nervousness.

And behind her, the most eye-catching feature was—a full nine fluffy, soft, pink tails like fine silk, swaying gently and unconsciously, carrying a breathtaking beauty and exotic charm.

"This is... a Nine-Tailed Fox?" Surprise and realization flashed in Lin Muyang's eyes. It really was the legendary race! And looking at her quality, she was definitely no ordinary fox demon.

He stepped forward, wanting to observe more carefully, while also preparing to check her attributes.

However, just as he approached, the Nine-tailed Fox Maiden seemed to have a natural closeness and curiosity toward him. She did not retreat; instead, she gently propped her hands on the clean floor, her soft body leaning forward slightly, moving closer toward Lin Muyang, with her nine large tails spread out behind her like the most magnificent screen.

She tilted her Overthrowing Cities and Nations face upward, her pink fox ears twitching gently, and her beautiful eyes, misted with moisture, unabashedly looked Lin Muyang up and down, her gaze pure yet carrying a trace of primitive inquiry, as if evaluating something, or perhaps simply just attracted.

【Nine-Tailed Fox: Su Daji!】

【Age: 18 (Appearance)】

【Height: 169cm】

【Weight: 50Kg】

【Note: Possesses a world-shaking appearance and Innate Charm bones; her racial talent makes her charm and spiritual infection far exceed common sense.】

It really was a Nine-Tailed Fox, named Su Daji! This name added even more legendary color to her. In terms of appearance, figure, and temperament, she and the other young ladies summoned by Lin Muyang each had their own merits, but that natural, integrated innocence and allure, which made one involuntarily feel pity and palpitation, was truly unique.

Lin Muyang steadied himself and switched his attention to the combat attributes panel:

【Nine-Tailed Fox: Su Daji!】

【Current Level: 1】

【Class: Sorceress (Special advancement of the Mage class)】

【Strength: 25】【Constitution: 23】【Agility: 42】【Spirit: 87】

【Talent: Overthrowing Cities and Nations (SSS-Rank Talent). Effect 1: The control effect intensity and control duration of all mental control skills you release are increased by 200%. Effect 2: Your mental control effects can take effect on non-flesh units such as "spirit bodies", "elemental creatures", and "constructs" (but the control effect is halved).】

【Skill 1: Mental Meditation (Passive/Active). Can actively enter a deep meditation state, efficiently absorbing heaven and earth spiritual energy and free spiritual energy, continuously improving one's own spirit attribute.】

【Skill 2: Innate Charm (Active). Emits an inherent powerful charm field, applying a "Charm" state to all hostile targets within a certain range. During the "Charm" period, the target will be unable to move freely, unable to release any skills, and their thinking will fall into a brief state of sluggishness and confusion. (The control effect and duration are related to the caster's spirit attribute, the target's spirit attribute, and resistance.)】

【Potential: Extremely High. The Sorceress class can learn the vast majority of mage-type skills, but has no specific attribute damage bonus, and is more proficient in the fields of control, illusion, and support.】

"Sorceress... a special advancement of the Mage class." Lin Muyang quickly browsed the information, analyzing in his heart, "Looking at her talent, it is completely biased towards the field of mental control, and it is an SSS-Rank top-tier control talent! Overthrowing Cities and Nations... it lives up to its name. Ignoring the race type of the controlled target is extremely useful when dealing with certain special enemies."

As for the class, a Sorceress can learn various mage skills. Although she may not be as good as a mage specialized in a certain element in terms of pure elemental damage output, she has huge potential in control, illusion, and battlefield support.

Lin Muyang happened to have accumulated quite a few various mage skill books. He had previously let Elabess learn a lot of dark-type ones; the others could just be given to Su Daji to learn—provided that he brought her level up first.

"Not bad, a very powerful control core." Lin Muyang evaluated in his heart. In a team, having such a top-tier controller would make tactics much more flexible.

"Su Daji, where do you come from?" Lin Muyang looked at her beautiful face and couldn't help but reach out, gently touching the pair of fluffy, excellent-feeling pink fox ears on top of her head.

A warm, soft, and smooth sensation came from his fingertips, carrying the vitality of life.

Feeling Lin Muyang's touch, the Nine-tailed Fox Maiden Su Daji's pretty face "whooshed" and flushed with two moving blushes, spreading all the way to the tips of her ears, making that pair of fox ears appear even more pink and cute.

Her eyes, misted with water, widened slightly, her long eyelashes trembling lightly, and clear shyness and a trace of flattered joy appeared in her eyes. As her gaze shifted, that kind of coy, alluring demeanor of wanting to refuse but welcoming, could simply soften one's bones.

"Daji... comes from the Demon Locking Tower..." Her voice sounded, soft, sweet, and sticky, like the finest honey, and it also carried a unique, heart-tugging nasal tone, light and gentle, as if a feather were brushing against the heart, making one feel itchy from the ears to the heart upon hearing it.

Demon Locking Tower?

Lin Muyang's movements paused slightly, and he understood in his heart. Another place with a bad background. No wonder it was a level 1 start again; it seems that in her original world, her situation was probably not very good either.

"Demon Locking Tower..." He repeated the name in a low voice, looking at the Nine-tailed Fox Maiden before him, who was of peerless beauty and inspired pity, a thoughtful light flashing in his eyes. It seems that every young lady summoned here carries a past of her own that is not easy. And he, perhaps, is the one who will bring them out of their past and give them brand new possibilities and a future.
