187: Epic pinnacle, ultimate perfection!

"Two Ruan Qingshus, it does sound beautiful."

Shen Pan was only slightly curious and had no intention of implementing it now.

After all, Loli Ruan hadn't mastered such powerful strength yet.

Moreover, this kind of thing isn't just about having the authority over life and death.

The other Ruan Qingshu would have to willingly separate from the body and not resist!

In short, the other Ruan Qingshu's favorability hadn't been maxed out yet!

After taking a few deep breaths in Shen Pan's arms and replenishing her initial Shen Pan energy.

Ruan Qingshu looked up at Shen Pan's seemingly even more handsome face, a slight smile playing on her lips.

She actively deactivated the item effect left by her dad, allowing her best friend nearby to hear.

"Although it's still daytime, let's just start. I miss it a little~"

"Hmm, Ruolai, do you want to come? We can see who lasts longer."

Jiang Ruolai, who had just put snacks and ice cream into her storage item and was proudly watching the Big Thunder Maid cry, was stunned.

She turned to look at the two who were finally no longer private chatting.

Time for ranked matches? So early?

She hadn't even had lunch yet!

Besides, Miss Laila, the tour guide, was still at home.

Starting directly might not be appropriate.

Also, what did Qingshu just say?

Together... together!?

Jiang Ruolai's face instantly flushed crimson, and she stammered.

"Qing, Qingshu, I don't think this is right. How about we take turns for tutoring at different times?"

"And Miss Laila just arrived, shouldn't we take her next door... to mooch a meal from that person?"

Although she had Cultivated with Shen Pan many times, Jiang Ruolai could only accept one-on-one tutoring!

"...?"

Laila was suddenly mentioned. Seeing that the Crown didn't pay attention to her, nor did he intend to help her out.

And with her keen sense of smell, she had already detected the scent of increased hormones.

"Hmph!"

Knowing that she would become an obstacle to the Crown's great conquest, Laila transformed into a pure and flawless golden light mass.

It floated on the ceiling of the first floor, falling into a deep sleep.

This was a life-saving Move that only the priests of the God of the Sky could learn.

Winged Humans in this state could not perceive external movements.

Similarly, they could quickly recover from injuries and remove negative statuses like curses!

Ruan Qingshu slightly raised her eyes, looking at Laila, who had transformed into a ball of light.

She was lost in thought.

"Ruolai, this is where you're wrong. Qingshu finally came back.

Such a big event should be celebrated!" Shen Pan said, as if it were a serious matter.

The current matching mechanism was too bad.

He still needed to find two trustworthy friends to play three-person ranked together to consistently gain points!

"Hmm!"

Seeing Jiang Ruolai still hesitating, Ruan Qingshu wouldn't indulge her.

She was just a superficial best friend, how could she compare to her quasi-fiancé?

She was willing to bring her along only out of their decade-long friendship!

Ruan Qingshu half-opened her eyes, expressionlessly holding Shen Pan's hand and leaving.

Anyway, when Ruolai got hungry, she would come looking for food herself!

"Eh? You're really leaving me behind!

Wait, I want to eat too!"

A somewhat anxious Jiang Ruolai quickly walked away from the empty refrigerator and caught up with the two.

Shyness and morality could be put aside for now.

As the legitimate wife, she couldn't be outdone by Qingshu, the mistress!

...Midnight.

After ten hours of high-intensity ranked play, Shen Pan, who successfully carried the two, finally found time to look at the reward given during the day.

[Talent extraction complete. Congratulations to the Host for acquiring the taboo grade ability - Authority of Life and Death (Ruan Qingshu)!]

[Authority of Life and Death (taboo grade): The authority over life and death. The holder shall be the Lord of the Underworld, the King of Reincarnation, the Underworld Emperor!]

Compared to his own [Court of Eternal Silence], there was no flashy introduction.

But as everyone knows, the fewer the words, the bigger the matter!

"Another talent that needs to be developed and studied by myself..."

Shen Pan glanced at Ruan Qingshu, who had been coaxed to sleep, and decided to wait for her enhancement patch.

Something developed by a Senior who had lived for an unknown number of years.

It must be stronger than him, a newbie who had only Awakened for twenty-plus days!

Anyway, once Ruan Qingshu learned it in the future, it would be as good as him learning it!

However, in the previous plot, two Ruan Qingshus just appeared.

Now he had drawn the Authority of Life and Death... the System was trying to make him degenerate!

What a malicious overt scheme!

"Now..."

Shen Pan quietly dressed and got up, teleporting to the outskirts of the Imperial Capital to prepare for his Breakthrough.

Looking at the one upgrade point in the System and the promotion crystal he had obtained early from the Imperial Capital Academy.

A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"System, add points!"

"Let me see your limit!"

As one upgrade point was deducted, Shen Pan immediately felt his heart stop for a moment.

Then came a rapidly surging, escalating, and doubling transformation!

"Boom!!!"

Shen Pan did not deliberately suppress his upgrade process.

He even actively activated his stacked BUFFs.

His gradually darkening eyes narrowed, and the Qi around him exploded with a roar.

In an instant.

The vast Epic pressure shot straight into the sky, tearing through the heavy clouds.

A pitch-black curtain poured down from the firmament.

As if to dye all things in black and white.

All living beings within a hundred-mile radius froze, stripped of their colors!

With a thought, Shen Pan deactivated the [Court of Eternal Silence].

Those who had been stripped of their colors didn't even know what had happened.

They were still sleeping peacefully.

Although he deactivated it very quickly, with almost only an instant's delay.

This commotion still filled the dozens of Epic Experts in the Imperial Capital with terror!

Even though they didn't know what had happened, the feeling of being weakened for an instant.

It truly existed!

This power seemed similar to the power of unknown origin from earlier today!

There must be an expert from another race crossing over!

One after another, the Epic Experts flew into the sky with wary expressions.

They were on guard against a possible incoming attack.

That night, the Imperial Capital and several surrounding cities.

All members of the Martial Administration Bureau and Special Affairs Bureau were sleepless!

"…"

It seemed he had caused quite a stir.

Shen Pan looked at the dozen-odd auras erupting in the distance, feeling somewhat guilty as he entered stealth mode.

He really couldn't be blamed.

He had just broken through to the ninth rank.

He was a little happy and wanted to see how strong he would be with all his states activated.

Now the result was out.

If he were in the [Court of Eternal Silence], he would be considered — Epic Peak Great Perfection Extreme Realm!

Converted to the Professional System, that would only be level 139.

Only 49 levels over, a small cheat isn't a cheat!

Shen Pan's expression was strange as he gazed at the brightly lit Imperial Capital.

In his heart, he silently apologized to those who had to go to school and work the next day.

"I feel... I've completely exposed myself to Senior Sister Xia."

"However, it shouldn't be a bad thing!"
