Repay injury with uprightness; repay virtue with virtue.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To repay an enemy with kindness is sheer madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confucius himself taught that injury should be met with uprightness, and virtue with virtue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orders were issued one by one; Chu Danqing then began his daily activities, and after completing them, he began cultivating the Two Secret Arts: Five Elements Spirit Mark and Five Elements Spirit Charter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took exactly ten hours to bring both secret arts to the Max level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having practiced them three times already, mastery had greatly accelerated his progress; moreover, his Five Elements Spirit Beasts Scripture had risen in rank, lowering the difficulty of these derived techniques further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank heaven these secret arts are derived from cultivation methods—relying on technique and familiarity, not resources;

Chu Danqing suspected it was meant to serve as the core of the Minor Five Elements Spirit Array and Minor Five Elements Summoning Path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was the only one that wasn’t an external artifact but had merged into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from passively enhancing summoned creatures’ attributes, it had no other effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Five Elements Spirit Charter, he had expected an offensive skill—yet it turned out to be a support skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, it dealt damage, though primarily through summoned creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its advantages were clear: far faster than the Five Elements Spirit Balls, and far lower in mana cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reconstructing a shattered Five Elements Spirit Ball required 5 Mana; the Spirit Charter required only 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tactic was to use high attack speed and low cost to stack negative statuses on enemies, then leverage those statuses to control and amplify summoned creatures’ damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, within the range aura of the Five Elements Spirit Seal, the Spirit Charters could be freely controlled—effectively granting lock-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once outside the aura, they became thrown projectiles—unable to be controlled after launch, relying solely on ranged damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing tested it: even within the aura, control had a five-second limit; after that, the mana within the Spirit Charter began to decay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it struck the target after decay began, the duration, effect, and summoned creatures’ Elemental damage all decreased proportionally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thirty seconds, the mana vanished entirely, causing the Spirit Charter to dissipate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, flight consumed mana—this was normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With time still left, Chu Danqing continued testing the Spirit Charters and discovered that striking a target in the order of the Five Elements’ generation enhanced summoned creatures’ additional Elemental damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conversely, striking in the order of the Five Elements’ destruction extended the duration and intensified the negative statuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if I combine Spirit Balls with Spirit Charters?” Chu Danqing stroked his chin, staring at his only offensive skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spirit Balls circling him were gone—but he could still spend 5 Mana to condense them; he wasn’t removing the skill, merely converting its constant form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Trying to control five Spirit Charters and five Spirit Balls at once? Impossible—it would ruin accuracy and judgment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just that my attributes aren’t high enough. Can’t fix that for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second, Spirit Balls are far slower than Spirit Charters—making coordination harder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if the Spirit Charter carries the Spirit Ball?” Chu Danqing immediately tried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It exploded instantly, without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily Chu Danqing had the Spirit Flag protecting him; otherwise he’d have been badly injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then tried combining Wood Spirit Charter with Wood Spirit Ball—same result: failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t explode, but dissolved into useless Wood mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, this isn’t something I can improve yet. Leave it for later,” Chu Danqing sighed in regret—low attributes, low skill level, and insufficient knowledge made failure inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing cultivation, he swiftly reviewed and processed the accumulated official duties, and discovered an intriguing piece of intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today at noon, the bandit chief Blood Hand Nightfork Bai Yi secretly entered the palace and met the young emperor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An inside agent provided him with covert warnings and clearance, allowing him to meet the emperor undetected.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It must have been the young emperor who summoned him—clearly, he’s already in contact with the bandits trying to kill me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing set down the report, adding one final note at the bottom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Blood Hand Nightfork had already been beheaded by the Imperial Feathered Forest Corps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once discovered, he could not be allowed to leave alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would they really just record the intelligence and let him walk away? Would the Imperial Feathered Forest Corps and the Secret Investigative Bureau just sit around doing nothing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blood Hand Nightfork is dead. The message probably didn’t get out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just today, I’ve uncovered seven named bandits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tch. I must really be hated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The capital was too vast—even with his authority, Chu Danqing couldn’t root them all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His subordinates couldn’t avoid every mistake; humans err.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Off duty. Home to sleep.” Chu Danqing returned with Da Bao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just to rest—he also hoped to lure someone out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’d have to die eventually; better to kill them early and weaken them now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The journey home was quiet—clearly, these vanguard bandits weren’t fools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Chu, someone’s inside the house,” Da Bao said before they even entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Chu Danqing immediately ordered Da Bao to lead the way, while gripping a Spirit Charter in hand, ready to stack statuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed open the door—the elderly man in scholar’s robes froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing hid behind Da Bao and asked: “Who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man glanced at Chu Danqing’s timid posture and immediately disliked him a third more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A true man doesn’t cower behind others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am He Yun, former Censor of the Censorate,” He Yun stroked his beard with a smile. “In the martial world, they call me Master Pen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve come today on behalf of the Bandit King Rolling River, to negotiate peace with you, Commander Chu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Yun spoke with the condescending air of a senior elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet his strength was likely formidable—almost certainly on par with Yuan Chong, a top-tier expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise he couldn’t have infiltrated so silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What exactly does Rolling River propose for peace?” Chu Danqing asked from behind Da Bao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room was too small—if the old man suddenly attacked, Da Bao might not hold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no reason to risk himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Simply revoke your extermination edict, and apologize to the righteous outlaws.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Surely you don’t wish to live in constant fear, dreading that righteous bandits will come to execute you,” He Yun said, mistaking Chu Danqing’s caution for fear, and issued a threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, since the opponent’s martial skills were poor and the distance was so close, this was the only way to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Chu Danqing heard this, he understood the other party had no sincerity whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Bao moved in an instant, lunging at He Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Five Elements Talismans moved even faster, striking He Yun first in the order of elemental suppression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Underhanded, attacking from ambush!” He Yun, caught off guard by the Five Elements Talismans, immediately suffered negative status effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he cursed, he saw Da Bao already charging toward him, filling him with shock and rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had come here to make peace, yet the other side struck first—showing not the slightest regard for martial world ethics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in war, opposing sides do not kill envoys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With thieves and villains like you, what’s wrong with an ambush?” Chu Danqing calmly gathered five more Five Elements Talismans and sent them toward He Yun again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Da Bao’s attack landed, it added an extra 10% of total damage as Five Elements damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single blow severely wounded him; Chu Danqing’s second set of Talismans never even reached their target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1726,"2026-06-20T00:54:40.605Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","69cb8f81bb411d8220b1f8bf3c2715e85787a17f1bff2c7b895c1a886679d188","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-128","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-126",305,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-cover.jpg"]
