"If you possess youth, you will embrace eternity!"
However, something about this summoned Mi Yue seemed strange. Unlike Da Ji and Shangguan Wan'er, who appeared in their complete forms, this Mi Yue looked like a chibi version—still a child who hadn't grown up.
"Little Da Ji, please explain! Begin your performance."
"After the system update, summoned Honor of Kings heroes are categorized into different age stages based on their level. According to the current soul master levels of the continent, heroes will appear as the corresponding age. For example, if the summoned hero Angela has soul power level 9, she will appear as a child around six or seven. Does the host understand?"
"Then according to the ages of soul masters on this continent, that doesn't seem accurate."
"The specific age mapping for soul master stages is calculated by the system's supercomputer."
"Open the hero skin summoning card."
On the card, moths fluttered as a lightly armored woman appeared. She wore colorful striped leggings, her hair tied up with two thin braids swaying in the air. Iron rings wrapped around her wrists, and she held a glowing magic orb.
It was Miyue's skin—White Crystal.
With a light wave of the card, Mi Yue transformed into White Crystal, yet she remained a nine- or ten-year-old girl. Notably, her name did not change.
"Open Mi Yue's panel."
Lin Yuan believed that using this skin card would definitely change her martial soul. In the game, this skin was exclusive and had special effects—it had to come with changes.
But the result surprised him.
[Hero: Mi Yue][Martial Soul: Luminous Moth][Age: 9][Soul Power: Level 23][Soul Ring: Yellow][Soul Skill 1 – Eternal Blood: Summons shadow servants to attack nearby enemies and restore Mi Yue's soul power. When summoning, Mi Yue gains "Shadow Force," increasing her movement speed and healing effects. When the Shadow Force disappears, the shadow servants also disappear. Up to 6 can be summoned.]Soul Skill 2 – Assault: Releases shadow energy in a targeted direction, damaging enemies along its path. Mi Yue can blink to the shadow energy's location, dealing area damage. If this strike hits a target, a shadow servant is summoned.
"Master."
"Your martial soul has indeed changed—your crow transformed into a radiant moth. Do your soul skills change as well?"
"Only in appearance. When I release soul skills, the original crows and shadow servants are replaced by moths. The colors also shifted from black to purple-pink."
"Oh, I see."
It wasn't much different from the game.
Mi Yue's appearance delighted Da Ji, especially since she loved cute little girls.
Lin Yuan walked while deep in thought.
Now that his subordinates were growing stronger and more numerous, betrayal was no longer a concern. The reason: the system update added a new feature—loyalty detection. If anyone betrayed him, the system would notify him immediately. Furthermore, heroes summoned from cards would always obey his commands.
Now the problem was that Icefire Yin Yang Well was no longer spacious enough. Although it was large, more people meant more risk of exposure, which would affect the growth of the immortal grasses.
After thinking it over, Lin Yuan decided he must found his own sect.
But the question was—where should it be located? It had to be near Sunset Forest so he could access Icefire Yin Yang Well anytime. This matter was still under discussion.
Glancing at the happy Da Ji and Mi Yue beside him, Lin Yuan opened the loyalty panel.
[Da Ji Loyalty: 150%][Mi Yue Loyalty: 100%]
He had grown used to these loyalty levels:
Below 0 – Extremely annoying
0–50 – Stranger, unfamiliar
51–70 – Trustworthy, friend
71–80 – Very trustworthy, good friend
81–90 – Absolute trust
91–100 – Super trust, absolute obedience
101–150 – "I know your length, you know my depth"—beyond verbal description
That night, Lin Yuan and Da Ji lay in bed, while Mi Yue slept in the adjacent room.
"Da Ji, I checked earlier. Among the 13 soul bones we obtained from the Dragon Graveyard, one head soul bone suits you very well—you should absorb it. It has degraded to 6 years due to exposure, but you can restore it to its original 96,000-year state."
Lin Yuan took out the head bone. He suspected it belonged to the Bright Dragon King's lineage.
Da Ji nodded, crossed her legs, and began absorbing the soul bone.
Two hours later, she finished but showed no excitement.
"Master, it still hasn't recovered."
"It's fine. It will eventually. What soul bone skill did you gain?"
"Spirit-Charm Burning Beam. It fires a mental shock ray that stuns and causes burning pain. It works on anyone."
"Great. It's late—let's sleep."
The next morning, as they finished washing and headed downstairs with Mi Yue, Lin Yuan unexpectedly met Flender.
It turned out that a year ago, because of Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong had a fierce quarrel with Yu Xiaogang. The two separated on bad terms. With no choice, Flender followed Liu Erlong to this place—Shortwave City. Due to heartbreak, Liu Erlong barely ate for days; if not for her Soul King constitution, she might've starved.
The Golden Iron Triangle nearly collapsed, but Flender barely held things together.
After listening, Lin Yuan understood why Flender was here.
Unable to find students—because all the talented ones had been taken—Flender felt desperate. Someone then suggested he visit Shortwave City's slave market, the largest in Heaven Dou Empire.
"You should try your luck," the man told him. "Many children haven't awakened their martial souls yet. You might find one with innate full soul power."
After finishing his tea, the man left.
Lin Yuan thought, A slave market? If I'm founding a sect, I'll need foundational soul masters… I should take a look.
