How did he die? You didn’t lose, did you?” Chu Danqing found it hard to comprehend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Son of Heaven assisting, failure shouldn’t have been possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only possible reason for failure was that Blood Eagle was utterly useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how could it be the Son of Heaven’s fault? Even without attacking, its support ability was solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Son of Heaven used Jin Guang to demonstrate the sequence to Chu Danqing: two stick figures fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood Eagle, under all the Son of Heaven’s buffs, clearly held the upper hand, overwhelming Qing Jian with pure brute force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Qing Jian realized the Son of Heaven wasn’t directly attacking, he dropped his guard, feigned a small opening, and instantly counter-killed Blood Eagle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So the reminder when I came back wasn’t because Blood Eagle successfully killed Qing Jian—it was because he got killed.” Chu Danqing’s blood pressure spiked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he could understand: not everyone excels at combat, just like Chu Danqing himself—he knew nothing about fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, why pick a totem pole as a weapon? Its advantage is that it requires no skill—just swing it and smash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he’d never used it. For a Summoner, personally engaging in combat usually means the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not using it is normal; the moment he does, it might be Chu Danqing’s last moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, you don’t have to use it—but you can’t be without it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, if you’re bad at combat, why chase a combat-specialist Apostle? If you can’t handle close quarters, just avoid it.” Chu Danqing spoke to Blood Eagle’s corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed his temples—now he was tangled in trouble too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Jian had seen the Son of Heaven; how could he not recognize it when Chu Danqing sent it to assist Blood Eagle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing he wasn’t the opponent in the trial, he’d surely hold back for now—but he’d definitely retaliate later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for explanations? The process doesn’t matter—only the outcome does.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone did this to Chu Danqing, he wouldn’t care about their excuses—you came to kill me, why should I understand you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting himself in their shoes, he knew this feud couldn’t be resolved—unless he paid a heavy enough price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chu Danqing wasn’t willing to pay—so they’d fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about the Longhu Alliance’s revenge mark? Who had time to worry about that now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fifty thousand points—what a real loss,” Chu Danqing grudgingly accepted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Son of Heaven handed Chu Danqing an item, indicating it was given by Blood Eagle before death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Soul-Reaping Doll】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Type: Revenge Item】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Durability: 8\u002F10】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Quality: Fine】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Blood Curse: Locks onto targets with blood-related grudges and synchronizes the next trial world with the target’s (Locked: Apostle ID 9999089319)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Soul-Reaping Hatred: Spend 1 durability to locate the blood grudge target once】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Revenge Fruit: Upon killing the blood grudge target, if they are a Dimensional Apostle, select one item from storage; if a native, they drop a chest】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Substitute Doll: After killing the blood grudge target, all markers and locks on the target transfer to the doll】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Note: Locked target cannot be changed.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Note: A secondary owner who completes the kill can also activate Revenge Fruit and Substitute Doll effects.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In a way, you really were a ruthless one,” Chu Danqing stared again at Blood Eagle’s corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving this item to Chu Danqing upon meeting? That would’ve been the best solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Blood Eagle wanted to exact revenge himself—and that’s what got him killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Tiance Prefecture is quite decent—even knowing Blood Eagle’s odds were low, they still provided this safeguard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems all factions in the Paradise are quite united.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a profit-driven faction, even if they were willing to allocate resources, they wouldn’t give something this high-quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first two effects are mandatory; Revenge Fruit can be seen as a reward to the faction—but the last one, Substitute Doll, was clearly meant to preserve Blood Eagle’s life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were truly just a one-for-one trade, they could’ve used far more extreme items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most valuable effect in the Soul-Reaping Doll is this one—it lets someone complete revenge and walk away unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First, cut the grass and root out the source!” Chu Danqing tucked the Soul-Reaping Doll away, planning to destroy the Azure Dragon Society first, then deliver Qing Jian’s head to the Lin Yuan Provincial Governor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was 1:30 a.m.—it would take at least until 2:30 or 3:00 a.m. to finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He should be able to kill Qing Jian before dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Soul-Reaping Doll, unless she completed her trial and left within an hour, Chu Danqing had no fear she’d escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she could complete it, she wouldn’t leave—she’d come to retaliate against Chu Danqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, follow me to the Azure Dragon Society headquarters,” Chu Danqing said, stepping onto the Siyu War Chariot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Son of Heaven and the Siyu War Chariot, under the Command Follow effect, maintenance required 94 mana per minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once in combat, without Command Follow, it dropped to 97 mana per minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Chu Danqing’s 102 mana per minute recovery, it was sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Driver Armor-Bearer immediately drove forward, heading toward the location Chu Danqing provided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Bao hadn’t taken two steps before the Son of Heaven levitated him with a spell, then swiftly matched the chariot’s speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of tonight’s smuggling operation, no patrols were on the streets; and after Ge Da’s exposure, night watchmen were banned from patrolling on the fifth day of every month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The war chariot charged forward at high speed, arriving at the Azure Dragon Society headquarters in moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Azure Dragon Society made substantial profits but remained extremely low-key—after all, as Lin Yuan’s high-ranking white glove, they dared not overstep even slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Driver Armor-Bearer didn’t pause—he charged straight at the Azure Dragon Society’s gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beam of golden light exploded from the Son of Heaven’s hand, striking the closed gate and blasting open a passage wide enough for the chariot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a commotion naturally drew the attention of those stationed at the headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most core members had been sent to the port for smuggling—and all were slaughtered by Xiong Zhigang’s Flying Bear Iron Cavalry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very few personnel remained at headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who dares disturb the Azure Dragon Society?” The society’s leader, wielding a nine-ringed saber, rushed out first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was met face-to-face as Da Bao lunged at him, claws raking toward his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader hastily blocked with his saber—but one swipe shattered the blade into fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sight sent fury surging through the leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because he’d blocked, Da Bao’s claws only carved ten deep, bone-exposing gashes into his chest—not killing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The searing pain forced the leader to stagger backward several steps, fear flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t angry when it didn’t hurt—but now that it did, he was terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He prided himself on his martial skill, yet he’d grown lax—he’d been defeated in a single clash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, he could spar with the martial champion Liu Bai; now, he couldn’t even stand against this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gunshot shattered the silent night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bullet struck Da Bao’s claw, punching a bloody hole through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shot halted Da Bao’s pursuit, granting the leader a reprieve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the claw landed true, he’d have been dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the shooter could fire again, the Son of Heaven abandoned clearing minions, instantly locked the target, and counterattacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Bai immediately cast a 10+10 Spirit Technique: Spirit Healing on Da Bao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wound on Da Bao’s claw sealed instantly; fragments were squeezed out, and excess healing energy solidified into a shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this protection, Da Bao pressed forward, attacking again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brilliant explosion and violent golden light clashed in the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a rocket launcher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the blast, a swarm of buzzing sounds emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drone swarms, combat mechanical dogs, and suicide robots surged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mechanist?” Chu Danqing watched the mechanical constructs closing in—he suspected it was the armored Apostle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless the opponent was deliberately using tech gear as a decoy, the chance of it being one of the other two was too low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why attack him? Simple—he must’ve triggered a side quest tied to the Azure Dragon Society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All were A-rank difficulty; failing a side quest cost twenty thousand Paradise Points and one attribute point—everyone would go all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he, with his wealth, couldn’t afford the loss of an A-rank mission—let alone other Apostles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing immediately activated the Nine Ghost Mothers Totem—he wasn’t afraid of group battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forty-nine ghostly infant spirits appeared, then a blood-stained, black-robed Ghost Mother landed behind Chu Danqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You handle your own children,” Chu Danqing sat calmly on the chariot; his mind stirred, and the five elemental spirits surrounding him surged in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his mana rapidly drained, a five-colored aura formed a barrier, expanding to cover a hundred-meter radius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing activated the Five Elemental Spirits Array’s effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The range wasn’t fixed—it centered on Chu Danqing, and as the chariot carried him racing forward, the array became a mobile area-of-effect damage zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone not his summon or ally—whether neutral, enemy, or friendly—suffered attacks and negative effects from the Five Elemental Spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The war chariot’s charge relied on Chu Danqing’s nimble maneuvering while activating the Five Elements Spirit Array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In midair, a brilliant burst of fire exploded once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lump of iron crashed down, and the Son of Heaven followed right behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The falling figure was none other than the Dimensional Adept; he had gained aerial superiority through his armor, but he had met the Son of Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After rising, he saw his mechanical creations utterly cleared out by the Ghost Wailing Infants, the Yellow Turban Warriors, and the Ghost Wailing Mother — the leader of the Azure Dragon Society had his body torn apart by Dabao, while the Azure Dragon Society members fell like grass before the coordinated assault of the war chariot and Chu Danqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Adept was not yet dead; he struggled to his feet after landing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1683,"2026-06-20T00:54:40.605Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a68b297c84789dcd69f0e0b6d5960f4cc378b60f8b398873799a9c3b72219954","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-159","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-157",305,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-cover.jpg"]
