Chapter 737

Two days later, Cloud Sea Residence.

On the big bed in the master bedroom, Lu Ran lay quietly on his back, his hollow eyes gradually regaining their luster.

"Mm." He reached out habitually, wanting to rub his head, and suddenly discovered that his hand was being held, and warm black flames were burning on his body.

It was like soaking in a hot spring, making one feel very comfortable.

Lu Ran turned his head to look and saw a girl in a black dress kneeling beside the bed.

"Brother! You're awake~" Qiao Yuanxi leaned her elbows on the edge of the bed, her palms supporting her chin, while her other hand passed black flames to Lu Ran.

The elegant black swan changed her appearance instantly, her smiling eyes curving into two crescent moons.

Extremely cute.

"The floor is so cold... mm." Lu Ran reacted; the area behind the screen in the master bedroom was covered with a carpet made of the fur of the Demon: Ghost Moon Fox.

He paused and asked instead: "Where is Jiang Ruyi?"

Qiao Yuanxi immediately pouted, dissatisfied: "I've been taking care of you day and night for two or three days, and the first thing you ask when you open your mouth is Sister Jiang Ruyi!"

Heh,

Scumbag!

"No." Lu Ran explained hurriedly, "What I meant was..."

Qiao Yuanxi pulled back her little hand and looked at Lu Ran angrily.

Under the gaze of his sister's eyes, Lu Ran felt his scalp tingle and said softly: "Thank you."

"Hmph." Qiao Yuanxi got up and made a move to leave. "Goodbye!"

"Don't." Lu Ran was quick-eyed and grabbed her wrist.

Qiao Yuanxi stood with her back to Lu Ran, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly.

And the diamond pendant hanging around her neck emitted a deep blue luster.

Dreamy and illusory.

Immediately, Qiao Yuanxi discovered that black flames had also ignited on her body, and the gentle Cage Fire was nourishing her body and mind.

Qiao Yuanxi finally turned her head and looked at Lu Ran curiously.

Lu Ran smiled: "You must be exhausted these past two days, right?"

"Hmph, that's more like it." Qiao Yuanxi sat on the edge of the bed and muttered, "The Sister Jiang Ruyi you're looking for is leading the Profound Frost Guards to train the Sin Mirror squad.

In the few days after you left, Sister Jiang Ruyi went to the Forbidden City, Heaven's Vault City, and Jingxian Mountain, and carefully selected 9 disciples."

"Oh." Lu Ran sat up and rubbed his eyes.

Qiao Yuanxi asked suddenly: "Since you're awake, that means the Spirit Sign Stone Sculpture has stabilized, right?"

"Yes." Lu Ran probed in his spiritual world and then said, "Sea Realm, Third Stage."

The Jingting remnants were quite productive.

I wonder how much Holy Spirit Qi the three Sea Realm hall masters contributed; I suppose that Fourth Lady Lu, Shen Xiaotang, contributed the most, right?

Qiao Yuanxi couldn't help but be curious: "As the owner of the Spirit Sign Stone Sculpture, will you still draw bad signs?"

That's a question!

When Lu Ran transforms into the Lord of Lie Tian, the Divine Technique: Blazing Heaven Sky Chief no longer has any restrictions; he can open it when he wants and close it when he wants.

Now, as the Lord of Spirit Sign...

"Hoo~"

Lu Ran raised his hand and grasped an illusory sign tube, in which 5 illusory signs were placed, along with 4 broken wooden signs.

Spirit Sign Divine Technique: Nine Treasures Sign!

This is the highest-level divine technique of the Spirit Sign sect, in which the 5 illusory signs represent output, defense, control, support, and summoning, respectively.

The remaining 4 signs are, naturally, the annoying bad signs.

"Oh? As expected of my brother!" Qiao Yuanxi covered her mouth and chuckled. "Nine Treasures Sign right off the bat?"

You rarely see Spirit Sign believers perform the Divine Technique: Nine Treasures Sign.

Because the probability of drawing a bad sign is simply too high!

By comparison, Spirit Sign believers prefer to draw iron signs or silver signs.

What are iron signs and silver signs?

The divine techniques of the Spirit Sign sect differ in material.

From the Five Treasures Sign, Six Treasures Sign, all the way to the Nine Treasures Sign, the materials of the signs are wood, iron, silver, gold, and illusory, respectively.

"Clatter~"

Lu Ran shook the sign tube, his expression a bit strange, and asked: "What sign do you want?"

Qiao Yuanxi blinked: "Can I choose it myself?"

Lu Ran shrugged his shoulders.

Even though Qiao Yuanxi had psychological preparation, she still opened her little mouth slightly: "Then aren't you invincible?"

Lu Ran: "..."

The divine technique effect of the god Spirit Sign is incomparably powerful; why did it fall to the fourth rank?

Because of one word—gamble!

One hand poor, one hand rich.

And another hand bankrupt, stepping onto the road of no return.

And when a gambler doesn't play with probability with you, but operates behind the scenes and cheats...

Then can't he win all the time?

Mm... Chang Ying (Always Winning)?

"Then give me a Divine Armor Guard!" Qiao Yuanxi chose the summoning sign that was the hardest to draw.

Lu Ran raised his head and looked at the ceiling: "This room is only three meters high; do you want to tear the house down?"

"Aiya, let's go, let's go!" Qiao Yuanxi grabbed Lu Ran's wrist and ran all the way to the backyard.

The backyard was empty and silent.

"Draw!" Qiao Yuanxi pointed her little hand at the open space.

"Hoo~" Energy surged in Lu Ran's hand, and an illusory sign did indeed fly out of the sign tube.

When the illusory sign flew to the center of the courtyard, it suddenly grew larger, blooming with brilliant light.

Lu Ran covered his face with one hand, feeling the divine power in his body decrease sharply; in just an instant, one-third was drawn away!

Is it this draining of divine power?

Lu Ran clicked his tongue secretly; he was at the Sea Realm, Third Stage!

Isn't this purely opening an ultimate move?

When Lu Ran performs big moves like Night Charm Evil Blade or Savage Evil Axe, at most two-fifths of his divine power is drawn away.

"Wow!" Qiao Yuanxi looked up with all her might, still finding it hard to see the true face of the Divine Armor Guard.

Because this heavenly soldier was a full hundred meters tall!

He held a divine power spear, not only majestic but also radiating light.

Nine Treasures Sign's Summoning Sign: Divine Armor Guard!

"Yuanxi."

"Ah?" Qiao Yuanxi looked at her brother.

"Do you know what's even scarier?" Lu Ran's expression was a bit strange.

"What... mm?" Qiao Yuanxi watched helplessly as Lu Ran took out an illusory sign tube again.

No skill cooldown time!

"Clatter~"

Lu Ran shook the sign tube again, an illusory sign flew out, rapidly split into nine, and then split into nine again!

In this process, the illusory flying signs had already turned into reality.

A full 81 flying signs surrounded the body of the hundred-meter divine soldier and began to rotate slowly.

Nine Treasures Sign's Output Sign: Divine Sword Sign!

The entire Cloud Sea Cliff saw this astonishing scene.

The price was that another third of the divine power in Lu Ran's body was drawn away.

This is definitely opening an ultimate!

How can this work?

Lu Ran sighed secretly; when he performs divine techniques, he naturally prefers to perform Sea Artifact ones.

Under the premise of this grade, if Lu Ran wants to control the total consumption of divine power, it is better to use silver signs or gold signs.

"Brother!"

"Hmm?"

"You're invincible!" Qiao Yuanxi hugged Lu Ran's arm and shook it excitedly.

While she was cheering, the diamond pendant hanging around her neck emitted a beautiful luster once again.

"Not quite..." Lu Ran hurried to be humble.

In the west wing room in the distance, two girls, one big and one small, walked out.

Chang Ying was also shocked.

Output sign and summoning sign combined together?

Both from Lu Ran's hand?

"Hoo." Suddenly, the hundred-meter heavenly soldier dissipated, and the eighty-one divine sword signs vanished without a trace.

Cloud Sea Residence returned to its usual tranquility.

"Sister Yingying!" Qiao Yuanxi saw the big dark girl and waved her hand immediately.

Chang Ying and Tian Tian walked over, looking at the Lu siblings.

Qiao Yuanxi said with a giggle: "Sister Yingying's name is so well chosen, isn't it?"

Chang Ying's body hadn't stopped trembling for long; after all, her state was linked to the Spirit Sign Stone Sculpture in Lu Ran's mind.

At this moment, she hadn't tested the divine technique and didn't understand the specific situation.

"Chang Ying, Chang Ying (Always Winning)." Qiao Yuanxi said with a smile, "You can keep winning from now on, right?"

Chang Ying looked at Lu Ran with a look of inquiry.

Lu Ran smiled and nodded: "You need to realize that your identity has completely transformed; you are no longer a slave exploited by a god, but the real god: Spirit Sign."

Chang Ying said in a low voice: "So?"

Qiao Yuanxi rushed to say: "So you don't need to gamble anymore! Whatever sign you want, just take it yourself."

Chang Ying's expression was stunned; for a moment, she couldn't react.

Qiao Yuanxi giggled: "And your divine technique has no cooldown time anymore! You are the god yourself; you no longer need to beg any god!"

Lu Ran turned his head to look at his sister, his eyes deep.

Little girl, eating alone?

A table full of good dishes, you could at least leave me a plastic bag so I could pretend too...

"Mm." Qiao Yuanxi was already hugging Lu Ran's arm, her pretty face buried directly on Lu Ran's shoulder.

Playing the ostrich is quite convenient.

Chang Ying was a bit dazed, her body swaying.

Little Tian Tian on the side hurried to support Chang Ying.

In this world, it is very difficult to empathize.

Lu Ran, Qiao Yuanxi, Tian Tian, and others could not understand at all what kind of mentality Chang Ying, as a Spirit Sign believer, carried every time she performed magic.

Every time she begged bitterly, what she got in return was a slap from the god Spirit Sign, and another slap.

Ten gambles, nine losses; this saying is not false.

All along, Chang Ying had been cycling on the same path, always with greater expectations leading to greater disappointment, then more expectations, then more disappointment...

There were few exceptions.

And at this moment, the Lu siblings told her that she didn't need to gamble anymore!

She could use whatever divine technique she wanted, just like disciples of other sects!

This...

Actually, in the two days Chang Ying lay there, Tian Tian had told her a lot.

Chang Ying digested everything, about Lu Ran's identity, what he did in Holy Spirit Mountain, and the grand wish in his heart.

Back in high school, Lu Ran had already been "deified" in Chang Ying's mind, so she could accept everything about Lu Ran quite well.

But at this moment, Chang Ying still couldn't hold it together.

"Heh." She let out a deep sigh and covered her face with both hands.

All the grievances of the past, the bad signs drawn on the battlefield when comrades needed them most, that deep sense of powerlessness and guilt...

Through her moist eyes, it all poured out at once.

God: Spirit Sign,

Had always been a dark cloud hanging over her head.

Yet she had to worship Spirit Sign, begging Spirit Sign at all times, praying devoutly.

How could others understand that kind of unventable frustration?

"Chang Ying." Lu Ran said softly.

"Sect Master." Chang Ying tried hard to calm her emotions, but the huge turning point of fate made it really hard for her to calm down.

Including her life in Cloud Sea Residence these past two days.

Every time she woke up and opened her eyes, the first thing she did was look at the pillow in her arms—Tian Tian.

Confirming the reality of everything.

Fearing that she would wake up from a dream and find it shattered, returning to the bottom of Starry Sky Valley.

"Call me Ran-bao, like before."

"Mm... okay." Chang Ying took her hands off her face, forced a smile, and looked at Lu Ran.

The girl's broken appearance made the hearts of several people feel uncomfortable.

"There are still dozens of disciples in Starry Sky Valley; let's go and recruit them." Lu Ran suggested. "Let them all follow you and worship you."

"Worship... me?"

"Yes." Lu Ran looked up at the dark-skinned girl with a gentle smile. "Aren't you the Spirit Sign Lord of my Ran Sect?"

"Mm-mm!"
