1003: Invite the goddess to join the team

Shield City, Yunyong Academy.

On the Yanwu Arena, Wen Xiucheng and Yuan Lei were training and sparring.

Du Xingchen, as the Captain, leaned against a large tree, watching the Yanwu Arena from afar.

Although Yuan Lei had joined the team, his current strength was indeed quite a bit behind everyone else.

In the current stage of coordination training, not keeping up with the rhythm was the norm.

Comparisons with Wen Xiucheng basically ended in defeat.

After all, he had not received the inheritance of a God, and his potential had not been unleashed.

Currently, Yuan Lei's strength was at most at the peak of a three-star Soul Card Master.

"If only I knew the specific location of the God's inheritance belonging to these guys, it would be great. It could allow him to directly recover his strength, or even go a step further," Du Xingchen looked at Yuan Lei and the others, feeling a slight sense of urgency in his heart.

These teammates all had corresponding God inheritances.

Normally, as long as he brought these people in front of their respective God inheritances and let them all receive the God's inheritance, the overall strength of the entire team would skyrocket!

But the reality was, God inheritances were basically impossible to actively search for in the outside world.

Restrained by the power of Heaven and Earth, it was impossible for a God to directly send their inheritance down to the Lower Realm.

Generally, the inheritance of a God existed in Secret Realm spaces that frequently changed locations. These Secret Realm spaces hidden in the Lower Realm did not belong to the Lower Realm, so they did not need to bear the power of rejection.

By using this point to avoid the repulsive force of the Lower Realm, they could maximize the output of the inheritance.

In the original plot, the protagonist's group also passively, with Heaven-Defying luck, encountered one Secret Realm space after another and obtained the God's inheritance exclusive to each member from them.

In these past few days, Du Xingchen had also contacted Jiangshan City, asking them to help search for the relevant Secret Realms, but they had found nothing.

Presumably, at this time, those movable Secret Realm spaces could not appear in the places where the plot was located in the later stages.

If he couldn't find the God's inheritance for Yuan Lei for the time being, then he could only participate in the competition in this state.

Only when the plot reached a later time node could he seize the opportunity to let Yuan Lei enter the Secret Realm, find the God's inheritance, and accept the inheritance.

This was Du Xingchen's idea.

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Du Xingchen calmed down and opened the System panel.

Looking at the familiar System panel in front of him, a thought suddenly struck him.

Perhaps... the System could help him!

Thinking this way, Du Xingchen silently said in his heart, "System, use the lottery."

The 50,000-year lottery he had obtained before, because he was in a hurry to go to the Divine Hall, he hadn't had time to use it.

It was only now, with free time, that he had time to review this lottery.

After Du Xingchen finished speaking, Ye Tian gave the reward that had been prepared early to the Host: "Ding~ The Host used the 50,000-year lottery once. Congratulations to the Host, you have obtained a Supreme Treasure Upgrade Coupon."

[Supreme Treasure Upgrade Coupon]: The Host can take out any item and upgrade the item with the [Supreme Treasure Upgrade Coupon]. After upgrading, the item will become more powerful on its original basis.

After the brief explanation, Du Xingchen understood the function of the item from this lottery.

Looking at the golden light emanating from the upgrade coupon in his hand, which looked unusual, Du Xingchen stroked his chin.

This was a good thing.

Of course, it needed to be used in the right place!

ordinary things like shoes and clothes were not worth considering.

Among the items in the storage bracelet, things like shields, swords, and armor made from exotic beast bones did have the possibility of being upgraded.

However.

This thought was only for a moment.

Afterward, a light flashed on Du Xingchen's storage bracelet, and a round plate appeared in his hand!

"If I'm going to upgrade, this thing is the most suitable!" Obviously, compared to other things on his body, the Treasure Hunting Plate, this treasure that ran through the original work, was the best one!

If this inherently very good thing were to undergo another upgrade...

After this thought came, Du Xingchen felt more and more that it was feasible.

Without much hesitation or delay, he directly slapped the upgrade coupon in his hand onto the Treasure Hunting Plate!

In the next moment, the upgrade coupon directly turned into a stream of light, converging and pouring into the Treasure Hunting Plate!

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

Like a rhythm, under wave after wave of spatial fluctuations, the Treasure Hunting Plate also gradually filled with a hazy white light.

Fortunately, this noticeable change only lasted for more than ten seconds.

As the light dissipated, a Treasure Hunting Plate that hadn't changed much from the original appeared in his hand.

The original Treasure Hunting Plate was like a bluestone jade plate.

And at this moment, the color of the bluestone on the Treasure Hunting Plate remained unchanged, and the warm touch seemed to have transformed into jade, becoming a bit more Advanced.

On the surface of the Treasure Hunting Plate.

The Bloodline light spots belonging to several teammates were still there.

In addition to this, on the Divine Plate, there were several cloud-shaped whirlpools!

These whirlpools also derived strands of golden silk, connecting with the light spots belonging to the teammates!

"This is?" Seeing the cloud whirlpools that appeared after the upgrade, and the golden silk connecting to the teammates, Du Xingchen had a faint guess.

Just as Du Xingchen was about to go and see what those whirlpools specifically were, he suddenly saw a new light spot on the Treasure Hunting Plate moving towards Yunyong Academy.

Saying it was a new light spot was also a bit inappropriate.

Du Xingchen was quite familiar with this light spot.

This light spot represented the Bloodline of the Goddess!

That woman, Zhongsun Yiqing, was coming over.

Thinking of this, Du Xingchen slowly got up, patted his clothes, and walked towards outside the school.

... ...

At the school gate.

Zhongsun Yiqing, followed by seven or eight attendants and a Supreme protecting her in the dark, arrived at the main entrance of Yunyong Academy.

Before she could ask someone to report and let her through, the school gate was quickly opened by the staff.

The tragic death of the previous staff member was still fresh in everyone's minds, so the current staff were extremely cautious in their work.

This large group led by the Goddess, although not people from the Academy itself, they didn't dare to stop them.

If they let in someone they shouldn't have, they would at most be scolded by their leaders.

If they stopped someone they shouldn't have, their family would have to hold a funeral!

In response, the Goddess raised her eyebrows slightly without showing much expression, and then led the attendants behind her to continue walking into the Academy.

If it weren't for the Nirvana Pill, she wouldn't have wanted to come to this place at all, and she completely didn't want to see the guy who had slapped her before!

After all, the situation was forcing her, it was unavoidable.

"Goddess Prince, you've come a long way, why didn't you say hello in advance?" Suddenly, a voice appeared in Zhongsun Yiqing's ear, and at the same time, Du Xingchen's figure appeared directly in front of the woman's line of sight.

Seeing the other party, Zhongsun Yiqing subconsciously clenched her fist, and also gritted her silver teeth tightly, her cold and beautiful face carrying suppressed anger: "Du Xingchen, give me your Nirvana Pill, I can exchange it with treasures!"

Zhongsun Yiqing had nothing to say to Du Xingchen, so she went straight to the point when she spoke.

"Nirvana Pill?" Du Xingchen heard this, and after a moment of realization, he felt around on his body, and then a small box appeared in his hand.

As if deliberately showing off, he opened the box under Zhongsun Yiqing's bated breath and focused gaze.

And the Nirvana Pill was just lying there quietly!

However, after only showing it to the other party, Du Xingchen immediately closed the box: "Goddess Prince, I plan to use this Nirvana Pill to break through my Realm and reshape my Foundation. I only plan to use it myself and do not accept exchanges."

The Goddess withdrew her gaze from the box in the other party's hand, and seeing that the Nirvana Pill was still intact and had not been taken, she felt much more relaxed.

"I am willing to exchange it for three 50,000-year exotic beasts, two 10,000-year spiritual plants, and a hundred 10,000-year level card equipment!" Taking a deep breath, the woman almost took out all her family's wealth.

In response, Du Xingchen still calmly shook his head: "Goddess Prince, if you are only here for the Nirvana Pill, please go back. The importance of this Nirvana Pill is not comparable to the things you are offering."

"You!" Hearing Du Xingchen's answer, Zhongsun Yiqing's beautiful face flushed red.

She wanted to say, if it wasn't given by my Father Emperor, could you have this thing?

But these words were only held back in her stomach. If she really said that, she was afraid that not only would she not be able to get what she wanted, but the matter that might have been negotiable would become completely non-negotiable.

"You name your price, what do you want so you can give me the Nirvana Pill?" Zhongsun Yiqing suppressed the emotions in her heart, and her tone no longer had the arrogance and self-important attitude she had always had.

"If you can give me two Nirvana Pills, I'll exchange."

Zhongsun Yiqing: "... ..."

"Whether it's heavenly materials and earthly treasures, or being enfeoffed as a King or Duke, or money, I can provide it. The Nirvana Pill is indeed very precious, but I can provide you with something better."

The woman still used this tactic, but Du Xingchen remained unmoved.

"What exactly do you want?!"

"I want you," Du Xingchen answered without blushing or his heart skipping a beat.

After these words were spoken, the scene fell into a slight silence. Zhongsun Yiqing's cold and beautiful face showed a hint of surprise: "What do you mean? Are you making a move on me?!"

Du Xingchen spread his hands with an unchanged expression: "Isn't the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination about to start? Our team is still missing one person, and I think you are very suitable. How about joining us?"

"Become your teammate?" Hearing that this was what he meant, Zhongsun Yiqing's serious yet slightly nervous emotions relaxed a little, but then she shook her head without hesitation: "I am the Goddess of the Divine Hall. Joining your small team, and then being dragged down by you so much that I can't even make it into the top five hundred, wouldn't that make me a laughingstock in the world?"

"So, you don't want the Nirvana Pill anymore? Then please go back. It just so happens that I also plan to take this Nirvana Pill myself."

"Taking it out to invite you to join the team is indeed too great a price."

"You don't want to give me the Nirvana Pill at all!" The Goddess's face turned pale and then green after being blocked by Du Xingchen's refusal.

"Isn't that nonsense? Why would I give you this good thing? Because you're stupid?"

"I..." The Goddess clenched her fist and looked at the other party.

If she wasn't clearly aware that the Nirvana Pill was given to Du Xingchen by her Father, and that this guy had a backer in the Divine Hall and she couldn't forcefully act, she was afraid she would have already started snatching it.

"I'm not stupid," After holding it in for a long time, the Goddess spat out this irrelevant answer.

After speaking, Zhongsun Yiqing took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling, as if she had made some kind of decision, and slowly said: "Okay, I agree to join you and become your teammate."

"Hmm, welcome," Du Xingchen nodded indifferently.

Zhongsun Yiqing was speechless at the other party's perfunctory attitude.

"Can you give me the Nirvana Pill now?"

"What's the rush? After our team wins the championship, the Nirvana Pill will naturally be given to you."

"Win the championship?!" Hearing this, Zhongsun Yiqing's calmed mood shattered again: "What are you kidding? You're thinking of winning the championship with these people? Even the top hundred is a luxury, winning the championship is completely nonsense. Don't you recognize yourselves?"

"Of course we recognize ourselves, but isn't that why we have you?" Du Xingchen looked at Zhongsun Yiqing, a smile on his face: "You are the Goddess of the Divine Hall, a big shot with status, position, and strength. With you joining our team, and with your leadership, wouldn't it be easy for us to win a championship?"
