Chapter 303 - 156: The Shy Empress, Let the Siege Happen More Often

After the conversation, Luo Ran finally got back to the main topic and handed a Space Ring to Shen Fei.

"This is the item we grabbed this time."

"It’s also compensation for you, after all, it was in your name."

Shen Fei chuckled, "Then, Master, I won’t stand on ceremony."

He picked up the Space Ring and looked at the items inside: two in dark gold, five in gold.

He was momentarily stunned, "All for me?"

Dark gold signifies mythical, gold signifies legend. Two mythical, five legendary, isn’t this everything Luo Ran said was taken from the Church?

Luo Ran nodded slightly, "Don’t worry, Marshal Meng also said the same."

"The strength and potential you’ve shown are enough for him to make such a decision."

"Moreover, it was in your name, so naturally, everything obtained is yours."

This time, Shen Fei felt a bit overwhelmed—it wasn’t merely about receiving two mythical and five legendary items.

It’s like having two Tier Ten experts working for him without compensation, personally visiting the Church and triggering a divine battle.

In the end, all the gains were given to him.

"Thank you, Master and Marshal Meng." Shen Fei hesitated for a moment but decided to accept it.

After all, that’s what Luo Ran said.

No need to be polite; his rapid growth is what’s most important now.

"Alright, prepare well for the Battle of Zhulu; that’s the major issue."

"Okay. I’ll take my leave first, then." Shen Fei drank all the remaining tea before standing up to depart.

After Shen Fei left, Luo Ran sighed, "A season of troubles, Ancient Secret Realm, mythic legends..."

"Bright Church Court, if a character from the myths truly returns, what position will Blue Star take?"

Even though Luo Ran wasn’t keen on getting involved in the conflict between the Breaking Abyss Army and Heavenly Pride Club, she mostly kept an eye on the Abyss.

She’s closer to the Breaking Abyss Army now because Shen Fei belongs to them.

Also, she really dislikes the Heavenly Pride Club’s approach of prioritizing personal gain over national interest.

Even in increasingly challenging situations, these people continue their internal struggles.

Humanity remains unextinct, internal strife remains unending.

...

By the time Shen Fei returned to his residential villa, it was already evening.

When he entered the living room, he didn’t see Su Muyu’s silhouette.

He shook his head, it seemed Su Muyu was pulling another all-nighter in the training room.

Then, unexpectedly, he saw the Empress was not reading a novel but sitting on the couch, seemingly waiting for his return.

Shen Fei settled on the couch and handed the tea leaves he had to the Medicine Ancestor, "This is from the teacher, brew it and have a taste."

Only then did he look at the Empress, who seemed on the verge of speaking, "Is there something you want to discuss?"

"Master, I want to become stronger."

The Empress hesitated, biting her silver tooth, looking a bit embarrassed.

Initially, she believed she had largely monopolized her master’s special abilities.

Logically, she should give way to the companions who came later, but in the past two days, she realized she couldn’t even defeat Little Cang.

Even Little Xiang could make her feel significantly threatened.

If she didn’t activate her ’Magic God’ state, she might not really be able to beat Little Xiang.

It was a moment of intense frustration.

Even though Little Cang and Little Xiang reassured her this was because of the master’s teacher’s gifts, she still felt quite troubled.

She hesitated for two days about whether to mention it to Shen Fei.

After all, her path to becoming stronger relied on Shen Fei.

"Oh, I thought it was something significant."

Shen Fei originally saw the Empress’s expression and thought it was something very important.

Actually, he was planning to draw two threads for the Empress now that he was at level 58.

As usual, he’d keep three as a last-resort trump card.

He had five draws left; this time, Stabbing Immortal and the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable were satiated, leaving no need.

And the True Martial Prince didn’t really need it, given his Tier Seven status and [Body Prison Suppression]’s high development potential.

When the time comes to take a spin in the Corpse Stiff Abyss, the True Martial Prince’s power will soar.

The roles of the Medicine Ancestor and Jasper Pool were sufficiently fulfilled for now, so it was either Empress or Little Pu.

He planned to give two threads to the Empress and three to Little Pu.

The Empress, being one of the main battle Summoned Beasts, couldn’t lag too far behind Stabbing Immortal and the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable.

Little Pu served as his tactical vessel, and its [Legend] quality was still too weak.

Moreover.

In the Battle of Shencheng City, he also noticed that Little Pu not only had a strategic role but also a tactical one.

For example, ’Mirror Image Space’ is an extremely powerful control skill.

Little Pu’s potential is still significant.

"Alright, now there’s nothing much to do, once I finish going through what the teacher gave me, I’ll enhance your strength."

"Okay."

Upon hearing Shen Fei’s words, the Empress’s face lit up with joy, but she quickly restrained her smile, realizing she might have been too happily expressive.

Shen Fei leaned back on the sofa and first opened the Space Ring.

The next moment.

All seven items fell onto the table, and naturally, Shen Fei’s attention first went to the two Mythical Level items.

One was a broken palm, yet there was a hollow in the palm’s center, and it looked like an ordinary person’s hand.

If not for the dark gold light emanating from its surface, it would seem like it was taken from any random corpse.

The other item was a ball of light, exuding a warm aura.

[Jesus’ Palm (Mythical): Rumored to be the severed palm of Holy Son Jesus, can be equipped, and after equipping, it greatly enhances the physical body’s strength, with six skills:

①: Jesus Resurrection: Passive Skill; revives unconditionally upon death, and after revival, receives a special state ’Jesus’ Blessing’, under which all attributes are amplified by 2000%, and any skill gains the ’Gospel’ status.

Gospel: Its damage transforms partially into holy damage and applies a ’Chaos’ status to the target hit.

②: Five Fish and Two Pancakes: Passive Skill; adds the ’Five Fish and Two Pancakes’ status to any skill of the user, under which the skill’s damage randomly covers 1~5000 enemy targets.

③: Son of the Holy Father: Active Skill; upon activation, grants ’Descent of the Holy Father’, where any skill’s cost is reduced by 80%, cooldown is reduced by 80%, and skill damage adds the ’Judgement’ status.

Judgement: Each attack conducts a spiritual judgment, and those who fail the judgment suffer spiritual attack equivalent to the damage.

Skill Cooldown: 12 hours

④: Cross Binding: Active Skill; upon activation, the selected target will be trapped in ’Cross Binding’, unable to use any skills, move, defend, or attack.

All damage received during this state will burst out after the state ends.

If the selected target dies while marked, ’Cross Binding’ can refresh immediately.

Skill Cooldown: 6 hours

⑤: Maria’s Compassion: Active Skill; after activating the skill, a target can be selected for ’Holy Mother’s Protection’, immune to any attack below Tier Ten, lasting for 1 hour.

Skill Cooldown: 12 hours

⑥: God’s Love for the World: Active Skill; after activation, the number of selected targets cannot exceed 100 units, those shrouded in the ’Divine Love’ domain will have their damage transform into healing capability.

Duration is consumed by the user.

Skill Cooldown: 3 hours]

[Usage Restriction: Hand component; Holy Spirit Class Professions; Third Transformation]

[Cain Origin (Mythical): Can be consumed, after consumption, mental +2000%, Dark Affinity +1000%, and Dark Skills cost permanently reduced by 60%, with skills ’Sea of Blood’, ’Cain’s Fang’, ’Cain’s Curse’]

[Cain’s Fang (Legend): Active Skill; launches ’Cain’s Fang’, dealing holy damage of 20% of the current state to a single target, unavoidable, skill cooldown: 12 hours]

[Cain’s Curse (Legend): Active Skill; upon activation, a target can be selected, adding the special status ’Cain’s Curse’ to the target, where any damage received adds a layer of ’Cain’s Curse’.

At ten layers, will deal 2% of the current state’s holy damage.

Duration of 2 hours.

Skill Cooldown: 24 hours]

[Usage Restriction: Non-Light Element or Holy Spirit System Professions]

Just these two Mythical Level items alone made Shen Fei tongue-tied, it’s indeed quite grand.

Such items.

Luo Ran and Meng Zhengguo just tossed them directly to him.

"Damn, this encirclement kill in Shencheng City was really worth it." Shen Fei wished for more of such encirclement kills.

Along with the Nest Mother Origin, he immediately obtained three Mythical Level items.

This is something others might not see in a lifetime.

But it’s also because he has backing, allowing him to maximize the benefits of this encirclement kill.

The key is, he can use both these items.

Originally, he planned for the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable to use that Tier Nine ’Fire Dragon’s Fang’.

There are also five skills within it, and they’re all burst-type skills.

But now he can just use ’Jesus’ Palm’.

However, compared to the explosion of ’Fire Dragon’s Fang’,

’Jesus’ Palm’ leans more towards defense and healing, with a bit of the Holy Knight flavor.

"It’s not like I can only use one, I’ll keep them to see when it’s appropriate to use what."

As for the Fire Dragon’s Fang, Shen Fei hasn’t planned to sell it.

Regarding ’Cain Origin’, Shen Fei thinks it’s more suitable for the True Martial Prince, continuing to boost the True Martial’s great tank.

After all, when it’s time to fight the Celestial Corpse, she’ll need to tank the damage.

The bonus to Dark Skills seems a bit wasted, but he doesn’t have a Dark Summoning Beast either.

It can’t be that the Celestial Dao Demon Venerable is Dark-type, right?
