Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

The booklet recorded 175 professions eligible for advancement.

Wu Xiaode read from start to finish, feeling somewhat dizzy.

However, one profession caught his attention.

"Nightmare Demon Wandering God."

"Rare death profession, combat profession."

"Description: A rare existence specifically charged with punishing Evil Ghosts and maintaining the order of the Netherworld."

As Wu Xiaode was looking, the Evil Spirit Book quietly appeared, emitting strands of black lines winding around this profession name.

Now Wu Xiaode understood.

——It seems that this "Nightmare Demon Wandering God" is very compatible with him.

If he chooses it, they will develop a synergy greater than the sum of their parts.

He decided to choose it!

Wu Xiaode immediately made up his mind and pointed at the profession name, saying:

"Can I choose this one?"

"You certainly can." The mummy's eyes flashed with a tinge of fear as it responded resolutely.

With a wave of its hand, a crack opened in the pyramid.

A wisp of dark aura flew out from the depths of the tower, condensing into a rune in mid-air.

Unexpectedly, as soon as this rune appeared, the Evil Spirit Book trembled correspondingly.

The rune seemed to be struck by something, and instantly collapsed, dispersing back into black aura and being absorbed by the Evil Spirit Book.

"Ah... how could this be..."

The mummy murmured.

Simultaneously, lines of small bronze text appeared on the Evil Spirit Book:

"You have acquired the Netherworld profession 'Nightmare Demon Wandering God'."

"The current profession has been absorbed by the Evil Spirit Book, resonating with the endless malice within the Eternal Abyss, transforming into the profession:"

"Nightmare Demon Palace Master."

"This is a higher-level profession than 'Nightmare Demon Wandering God,' dedicated to exterminating any Evil Ghosts violating the Netherworld Law, originally vanished in the long spans of Netherworld years, but you have rediscovered it."

"Professional Exclusive Skill: Nightmare Heart."

"Description: You can آزمون other beings with nightmare tests, and if they fail, they must endure an attack from you."

Wu Xiaode was shocked, blurting out:

"Isn't this just perfect for me?"

The mummy was puzzled, cautiously asking: "What did you just say?"

Wu Xiaode immediately realized.

There's actually no need for others to know his thoughts on a new profession.

"It's nothing, don't mind it. I just spoke my mind for a moment."

He patted the other's shoulder, then asked:

"After employment, can I continue to accumulate Yin Virtue for improvement?"

"Not quite," the mummy nodded humbly, "After this employment, you have become a core member of the Netherworld. Besides Yin Virtue, you also need some opportunities to keep advancing."

"What kind of opportunities?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Brother, look, I'm still stuck here introducing professions to others, even though I'm at the same level as you—I don't know how to advance either." The mummy said with a bitter expression.

Wu Xiaode simply smiled and said:

"I'll give you a piece of advice: in your future promotion tasks, you can take benefits, but don't randomly eat people, or else, next time, I'll be the one to eliminate you."

"Yes, boss." The mummy replied with its head down.

Wu Xiaode heavily patted its shoulder again, and with a flash of his form, he teleported away.

It took a full seven or eight breath cycles.

The mummy finally took a breath.

At this moment, a mermaid climbed up from the bottom of the pyramid, panting:

"What position am I in?"

"Second." The mummy replied.

The mermaid showed a disappointed look on her face, sighed, and asked, "Alright, sir, what profession can I advance to?"

The mummy carefully examined her.

The mermaid was enveloped in a faint grey mist, with scales that would occasionally light up, sparkling with naturally formed Law Runes.

"Great, really promising. If I eat her, my strength would definitely advance a great step." The mummy thought secretly.

Seeing it was merely scrutinizing her without speaking, the mermaid suddenly realized.

"Sir, this is a treasure of our Mermaid Clan, I now present it to you, hoping you can recommend a good profession for me."

She respectfully held a Treasure Bead in her hands and offered it to the mummy.

The mummy looked at the Treasure Bead.

——The Treasure Bead was indeed a fine treasure.

But this mermaid was a rare natural Law incarnate.

If it eats this mermaid, it would become stronger!

It swallowed, ready to act, but suddenly recalled the boy's words from before.

But that kid has already left!

——He's gone now!

Regardless of what happens next, at this moment, he's not here, and this mermaid has nothing to do with him!

Yes, it watched the previous battle.

He has no ties with this mermaid; eating her wouldn't alert him.

Then go ahead and eat the mermaid!

The mummy burst out with intense killing intent, sneering:

"It's rare to find such fine potential and beauty; if you were to grow, you'd surely become a powerful Netherworld professional, but unfortunately——"

The mermaid hadn't even reacted before being pinned to the ground, unable to move an inch.

"Sir, please, don't kill me!"

The mermaid cried out in distress.

The mummy opened its bloody mouth wide, biting off the mermaid's neck in one bite.

"Hahaha! Delicious!"

It erupted with a joyous roar.

The next moment.

Everything around suddenly disappeared completely.

The mummy found itself sitting in an eight-carrier sedan chair, soaring through the clouds.

The sedan chair was carried by eight bearers in red ceremonial robes.

Someone ahead was playing a suona horn, shouting in unison.

Behind, someone was banging a gong and beating a waist drum.

This is—

What's going on?

The mummy struggled and tried to get out of the sedan chair, only to find both its hands and feet shackled with heavy irons.

The hand and foot shackles were all attached to the sedan chair. No matter how hard it tried, it couldn't break free.

—It even began to lose its original power.

Looking closely, there was a line of small characters engraved on the shackles:

"Nightmare Heart, guilt is vast, with no repentance, must accept this punishment."

The mummy couldn't help but shout harshly:

"Who are you? Where are you taking me?"

The bearers all laughed together.

One bearer said:

"Reporting to the lord, your good day has come."

The other bearers said in unison: "Yes, just ahead is Hai Mansion, today is your good day."

A good day?

The mummy felt disoriented, just feeling it was almost unable to think about anything.

The next second.

The mortal world.

A certain pigsty.

A little pig was born.

...

Still at the pyramid.

Wu Xiaode stood alone at the top of the tower.

He was watching the Evil Spirit Book with great interest, reading the lines of small bronze characters:

"You have activated the professional skill 'Nightmare Heart'.

"The opponent, being the judge presiding over the Death Trial, violated the Netherworld's law by consuming the trialists."

"The opponent promised you not to eat people anymore, yet broke the promise."

"Due to this cause and effect, must suffer one strike from you."

"You have activated 'Evil Spirit Evil Skill: Fetus Concealed Confusion', making the opponent endure this strike."

"The opponent has reincarnated."

"You have corrected the irregular conduct in the Death Trial and thus gained Yin Virtue: 3 points."

—Very smooth.

Not only was the battle smooth, but it also avoided fighting and killing, conserved energy, did not damage the environment, and did not affect the innocent.

No wonder the Evil Spirit Book suggested I choose this profession!

Wu Xiaode was very satisfied with the profession of "Nightmare Demon Palace Master".

However, there are still more things to do at the moment—

His figure flickered and he left the place, returning to the Hell of Burning.

It was already different from before here.

A coffin had been opened.

Sarina stepped on a stranger on the ground.

Big Banana and Violent Fang were searching him, stripping all the various weapons and treasures he carried and piling them nearby.

—The original open space had already been piled into a small hill of treasures.

When Wu Xiaode appeared, the three of them looked over at him.

"Brother Ming, you're back!"

The two of them said joyfully.

Wu Xiaode nodded slightly as a greeting but walked up to Sarina, saluting respectfully:

"Thank you for lending a helping hand, Your Excellency."

Sarina gestured, and the gray halo flew from Wu Xiaode's body into her hand.

"I can protect you most of the time, but there's something you need to know in advance."

She said.

"What is it?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Powerful mysterious life forms are bound to be summoned to the front line and can only return after completing a certain period of battle — this is the purpose of mysterious life's existence and the iron rule established by the Holy Ones, which no one can defy." Sarina said.

"Are you saying that maybe they'll send me to the front line?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"After all, even the Sequence Beast has come out, yet it still hasn't killed you; the Sequence Beast is a being that won't give up until its goal is achieved." Sarina said.

Speaking of this, Wu Xiaode suddenly recalled that when that giant bone hand burst out with malice, even The Wall of All Wishes had manifested a task.

But he couldn't check the Evil Spirit Book at this moment, so he said helplessly:

"If that's the case, then I can only go once."

Sarina suddenly took a deep breath, looking at him with burning eyes:

"I must always be here looking for a way to break through Pangu, so I won't go to the front line, but—"

She handed a card to Wu Xiaode.

"If you're sent to the front line, look at this card, it is a piece of guidance from me."

Wu Xiaode took the card and said:

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

The card was completely blank, with nothing on it.
