"My people, attack!"
Guan Ming roared, but what she had told her people was a lie!
As a Wu Clan priestess, she received the protection of Heaven and the natural order. She used two tortoise shells to divine fortune and misfortune. Whether they fled or attacked, the divination showed a near-certain death!
And now, she only had one option left. By acting decisively and showing her people hope, she could create a chance for survival!
Moreover, her Giant Rock Spirit Jade Tribe wasn't without its trump cards. Even if they were to perish, she would make the Li family pay a heavy price!
...
In front of the screen, Li Wei calmly watched everything unfold. He was surrounded by the piles of meat offered by his descendants during the last Grand Sacrifice. He took a ferocious bite.
The Wu Clan's greatest strength lay in those stone beasts.
[Stone Beasts]
[Unique creatures formed from the giant rocks of the Endless Forest. They absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, gaining sentience through the protection of the mountains. They exist in symbiosis with the Giant Rock Spirit Jade Tribe and are summoned by their bloodline!]
At this moment, both sides were charging!
In the game, the stone beasts approached in an arc formation. Green Valley Town initially appeared incredibly small, but when Bai Rourou and Li Tianshuang arrived, everything changed.
The demonic beasts outnumbered the stone beasts, overwhelming them with sheer numbers. Then, Li Yaotie arrived with his spirit puppets, forged from steel. Although fewer in number, they were the most formidable warriors on the battlefield, weaving through the enemy ranks.
But it was the arrival of Li Yunbing that truly marked the beginning of despair for the Giant Rock Spirit Jade Tribe.
A hundred massive spirit ships, each at the level of a spirit artifact, descended from the sky, their shadows covering the entire battlefield!
The demon cultivators from the Thunderfire Cave and the righteous cultivators from the Demon Subjugation Alliance, riding their flying swords, descended from the spirit ships in unison, falling like raindrops towards the ground.
Their combat experience was vast. While the Giant Rock Spirit Jade tribesmen were still in shock, they had already taken their lives!
And on the map, more Li family descendants were still arriving.
Li Wei casually moved the mouse. As the ancestor, he remained calm within. He had long grown accustomed to his descendants' struggles. He had to stay composed and, like Li Yaowen, maintain control over the overall situation.
"Ring, ring, ring."
The phone rang. Li Wei glanced at it. It was his teacher's sister, Xiao Qingling, or something like that. She had already called many times, so he had to answer.
Li Wei kept his eyes glued to the screen, multitasking. "Hello," he answered, "this is Li Wei."
In the game, Li Yaozu unleashed another rainbow of sword energy!
The voice on the other end of the phone was clearly audible in the room.
"I know," the woman's voice said. "My brother told me you have good potential, worthy of being cultivated by our Spirit Examination team. So, come by tomorrow."
Her voice was gentle. "I don't know how you persuaded my brother," she said, "but let me be frank. Countless people want to join the Spirit Examination team. There are numerous individuals with extraordinary talent, and you are the youngest among them. I expect you to put in more effort..."
Before she could finish her sentence...
Li Wei, still staring at the screen, nodded slightly. "I know," he interrupted, "I'm a genius. You should use all your resources to support me. Are we talking about joining the Spirit Examination team next year? Well, just send all the resources to my house. I would be very grateful."
In the game, both sides clashed, and it was no longer possible to distinguish the individuals in the chaos!
"Do you even want to hear what I'm saying..."
"Yes, I've heard all about it. Thank you, Aunt Xiao. Are you going to give me a magical treasure artifact? Even my teacher isn't this generous."
He clicked on Li Dalong's icon, and he disappeared with a whoosh.
Xuan Tianzi had been released and was now battling the priestess Guan Ming!
"I said, are you cra—"
"Yes, there's a wind in my house. I need to close the door, or my Yuexian will be blown away."
Li Wei calmly hung up the phone and turned it off.
It seemed the enemy had brought out a secret weapon in the game!
He had heard everything!
He focused intently on the screen, remaining calm. His teacher's sister, Xiao Qingling, had said that to celebrate his, a genius, joining, they would hold a presidential-level banquet and even make him the captain of the Spirit Examination team!
But now, none of that mattered anymore, not Xiao whoever (Xiao Qingling), not the "roast meat team" (Spirit Examination team).
His spirits were high, just as high as his descendants' at this moment.
Watching his family members fight, Li Wei took a deep breath and clicked the mouse.
[Activate skill — Fight, beloved Ancestor!]
[Entering the game world!]
Li Wei's body straightened, and his eyes rolled back.
His mind became increasingly clear, his focus sharper than ever before!
...
"Hello? Hello? Why did you hang up?"
"The number you have dialed is powered off. Please try again later."
"The number you have dialed..."
In the pristine laboratory of the Spirit Examination team's research institute, various objects were scattered around.
A statue of a man carrying a coffin.
A sculpture of a Sword Cultivator... fragments of a bloodstained Spirit Weapon dagger... even a coffin sealed with talismans...
Xiao Qingling, wearing glasses, sat beside the research table, staring at the old phone in her hand, her delicate eyebrows furrowed in anger.
After calming down for a while, she took a deep breath and dialed the number again.
"Hey, sis," Xiao Qingluo said, "isn't that student I introduced to you quite something?"
"..."
Xiao Qingling pondered for a moment, then asked, "Brother, have you changed jobs recently?"
"Ah? How did you know? I'm the acting principal now."
"I'm asking you," she clarified, "are you working at a mental hospital?"
"Huh? What happened?"
