After a while, someone suddenly arrived.

It was a student who had been at Wuzhou’s class earlier. When he saw Zero without her mask, he was visibly stunned. She was too beautiful!

But he quickly snapped out of it. He couldn’t forget the fierceness with which Chen Xing had thrown him earlier…

“Teacher Moli! Teacher Wuzhou asked me to call a few people.”

Moli nodded. “Go ahead.”

The person then took away a dozen or so Spirit Users who had been training with Wuzhou. Not long after they left, the theoretical practice session began.

“Let’s proceed with the theoretical practice, focusing on partial weaponization training. As usual, pair up with your partner. Assume your positions.”

Upon hearing this, everyone went off to find their usual partners. The crowd started moving.

Zero stood still, feeling a bit lost. She didn’t have any familiar buddies… Just when she didn’t know what to do, a panel suddenly appeared before her.

【30 million Spirit Points and 60 million Crystal Coins deposited into your account.】

Zero: ???

She paused for a moment, then quickly understood that Chen Xing must have triggered some kind of reward. As soon as she closed the panel, another one popped up:

【40 million Spirit Points and 80 million Crystal Coins deposited into your account.】

???

【45 million Spirit Points and 90 million Crystal Coins deposited into your account.】

!!!

Chen Xing, what are you doing?

Inside the reserve team training facility:

“Next!”

The Spirit Masters from the A-rank were staring at Chen Xing in shock.

They were all A-rankers! How could Chen Xing easily defeat them barehanded? Unbelievable…

Chen Xing was just taking advantage of the rewards from the higher-level challenge missions! It felt so satisfying. Earning a shiny pile of silver, he definitely had to play ranked matches later!

While his own combat power was still low, he planned to defeat all those higher-ranked players on the leaderboard. Feeling great!

After reaping the rewards from these people, Chen Xing planned to leave. He had already taught them a lot today. Teaching too much in one day would lead to less efficient learning. It definitely wasn’t because he missed Zero and couldn’t wait to leave.

…

Zero looked at the influx of Spirit Points, her mouth slightly agape, still in a state of shock.

Seeing that she didn’t have a partner, several people approached her, wanting to take care of her and become her partner. As a result, many original pairs of buddies or close friends ended up abandoning each other and became competitors…

The little boat of friendship capsized. Everyone wanted to team up with Zero!

Zero had just faced the problem of not having a partner, and now she faced the issue of having too many options and not knowing whom to choose. Seeing this, Moli couldn’t help but sigh in amusement. “What are you all doing? Stop messing around. Yun Sijin, you team up with Zero.”

“Tch~” Their goals were not achieved, so they could only go back and find their own partners. The two who had been competitors just a moment ago quickly shook hands and made up. The little boat of friendship flipped and then flipped back…

Yun Sijin smiled at Zero and asked softly: “Can you semi-weaponize?”

“I… haven’t tried it before…”

After hearing her response, Moli glanced at her and slowly said, “Have you tried partial-spiritization?”

“I have tried that, and I can do it!”

Moli nodded. If she could semi-spiritize, that would be fine. At least she wasn’t a complete beginner!

However, he also felt a bit indignant on her behalf. As an SSS-rank Spirit, she should have received proper training a long time ago. But now she was just starting to learn. Seeing that it was her first time, he started from the beginning:

“Partial-spiritization is a state between the prototype and full weaponization.”

“As for partial weaponization, you can understand it as a state between partial-spiritization and full weaponization.”

“Simply put, it means transforming only a part of your body into a weapon form.”

“First, transform your body into a semi-spiritualized state, and then into a semi-weaponized state. It’s simpler that way.”

“Like this.” As he spoke, Moli raised his arm, and a flash of white light occurred. His arm seemed to become ethereal, and the next moment, the entire arm transformed into a crystalline substance. It appeared to be flowing yet solid, shimmering with light, and it looked beautiful.

Zero looked at Moli’s crystalline arm, pursed her lips, and nodded. Then she closed her eyes, felt her own body, and began to unleash her own imagination…

Many people wanted to witness Zero’s partial weaponization!

All eyes were on her.

Moli was also quite excited. What would the weapon form of an SSS-rank Spirit User look like? There was no record of it in the data!

In history, SSS-rank Spirit Users caused a sensation when they appeared in the world. But later on, they vanished without a trace. Some even doubted whether SSS-rank Spirit users were real or just a rare misjudgment by the system that occurred once every thousand years.

“Whoa!”

Suddenly, there was a flash of white light, and two black horns grew out of Zero’s head! They had crimson patterns on them, but the rest of her appearance remained unchanged.

Everyone: ???

Moli couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, wondering what these horns were…

So, what exactly was her weapon form? It was impossible to tell!

“Zero, what is your weapon form?”

“Um… it seems to be… a demon spirit?”

Moli was somewhat puzzled by her response. “A demon spirit? What is that? Can you show us?”

“Um… no… I can’t…”

“Huh? Why not?”

“Yeah, why not?”

Everyone wanted to see what a demon spirit looked like. With two horns on her head, Zero’s appearance piqued their curiosity even more.

“No… I have to go home… and ask my husban…”

“Ah! No… that’s not it! I have to ask Chen Xing…”

Zero’s face instantly turned red. Oh no! She misspoke!

“Uh…”

Everyone: Are you the only one who can show affection here!? Well, because you’re so cute, we’ll forgive you.

Yun Sijin pursed her lips, and her smile couldn’t help but curl up at the corners. Many others also had auntie smiles on their faces, just like her.

Meanwhile, on Chen Xing’s side…

A panel suddenly appeared before him:

【 Congratulations, host. Your wife, Zero, has made one million people reveal their auntie smiles (including live broadcasts). Achievement title obtained: Auntie Maker! Rewards: Spirit Points: 50 million, Crystal Coins: 100 million, Affinity Bonus: +100 Affinity with all age groups for the whole year! 】

Chen Xing stared at the sudden panel, stunned for a moment. What is little Zero up to?

While he was pondering this in his mind…

“BOOM!”

One punch to finish it. The opponent fell to the ground and couldn’t get up!

【 Congratulations, host, for defeating the Spirit Master Wang Yan. Rewards: Spirit Points: 5 million, Crystal Coins: 10 million! 】

【 Congratulations, host, for completing the challenge against higher-ranked opponents. Rewards: Spirit Points: 21 million, Crystal Coins: 42 million! 】

Chen Xing clapped his hands in satisfaction. Though it wasn’t as much as what Old Xue gave him, it was still a considerable amount! In this wave, he had gained a total of 350 million Spirit Points and 700 million Crystal Coins.

In one word: enjoyable!

In two words: incredibly enjoyable!

Xue Bufu and Wuzhou nodded in approval as they watched the defeated Spirit Users and Spirit Masters rolling on the ground. They were quite satisfied.

Of course, Chen Xing wasn’t simply tormenting them. After defeating each one, he would provide constructive feedback to help them improve. They had indeed benefited greatly, although it was a bit painful.

“All right, that’s the end of today’s lesson!” Chen Xing clapped his hands and looked at Xue Bufu and Wuzhou. “Well, I’m off then. Going to find my precious little one.”

Wuzhou smiled and nodded. “Go ahead. You’ve worked hard.”

Chen Xing raised an eyebrow and almost burst out laughing. “Cough… I don’t dare to claim that I’ve worked hard! Hehe…” After saying that, he turned around and left.

Xue Bufu and Yun Xinghai quickly caught up with him.

Chen Xing: ???

“Why are you two following me?”

Yun Xinghai had an excited expression on his face: “Master! I still want to learn!”

Chen Xing helplessly said, “Don’t call me master.”

“Okay! Big brother!”

Chen Xing: ???

Forget it, I don’t feel like dealing with these things.

“Go back and digest what I taught you today.”

“Oh! Okay, Ma… big brother!”

And he continued to follow Chen Xing.

Chen Xing: “…”

Chen Xing thought, whatever, let him tag along.

With Xue Bufu leading the way, they quickly arrived at the specialized training area for spirit users. Chen Xing asked Yun Xinghai and Xue Bufu to wait outside. He sneaked in by himself to surprise Zero.

After Zero refused everyone earlier, they began practicing releasing their skills in the half-weaponized form. However, without Chen Xing’s presence, Zero couldn’t use her skill. So she just stood there, with two cute horns on her head, watching Yun Sijin transform.

Yun Sijin’s weaponized form was also unique. It wasn’t in the ordinary weapon category but consisted of tens of thousands of tough, controllable green threads, similar to silkworm silk.

Everyone was focused on their practice, so Chen Xing quickly approached Zero without many people noticing.

While Mo Li noticed him, he looked at the young man with some confusion. But he didn’t stop him. That was just his nature—he wanted to see what the young man was up to.

Yun Sijin suddenly stopped her movements when she saw Chen Xing walking behind Zero with a smile on his face. Chen Xing didn’t pay attention to her; his eyes were only on Zero.

From the moment he entered the training area and found Zero in the crowd, his gaze never left her. His eyes were filled with tenderness, and he only had her in his sight.
