This invocation consumed 1784 Park Points.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Alliance Partner has responded.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Alliance Partner’s cognitive rationalization has been successfully modified.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upgraded Shanhe Pact required only 1800 Park Points to summon an ally two tiers higher; after accounting for the Mastery and Proficiency reductions of 16 points, it came down to exactly 1784.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the original cost, this saved 216 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That equated to saving one summon cost for every eight summons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Ming stepped out of the vortex, his power surging violently as a sharp sword aura radiated from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura of pressure instantly spread, shredding the surrounding rain into mist and carving out a vast empty space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then slowly retracted it and said, “I’ve been refining the form of this aura pressure since returning—I barely kept it under control after Chu Brother’s Royal Contempt amplified it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Ming had originally possessed no aura pressure—he gained it only after being buffed by Chu Danqing’s Royal Contempt in the training chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, sensing its potential, he returned to study it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But without spiritual essence or the Royal Contempt’s boost, his progress was minimal—only a crude outline had formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, upon being summoned again and amplified by Chu Danqing, it surged wildly out of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This place reeks of yin-sha energy—it’s clearly a natural gathering point for yin and malevolence. Not safe to linger,” Guo Ming sensed briefly and remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing then explained the situation to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sparked curiosity on Guo Ming’s face—he truly lived in a strange world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, Chu Brother, you want me to slay this corpse-jiao,” Guo Ming said, his gaze fixed on the massive dark shadow beneath the Huanglong River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t afraid—its power paled beside his own. One sword might not kill it, but two would.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The corpse-jiao isn’t hard to kill—it’s the timing and terrain that are troublesome,” Guo Ming’s eyes revealed caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It reminded him of the divine retribution in his own trial world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry about timing or terrain—kill the corpse-jiao first,” Zhong Ting interjected. “Once the corpse-jiao is dead, this flood will naturally subside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the Park’s identity concealment, Zhong Ting felt no unease at Guo Ming’s sudden appearance and offered his advice without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s true, but this corpse-jiao is bound to the timing and terrain—if I strike, I’ll have to fight both at once.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chu Brother, could you… fill up the Blood Sacrifice Blade for me?” Guo Ming said awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d experienced the Blood Sacrifice Blade’s effects in the training chamber—the noble percentage bonuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already at the third tier, his HP too high for Chu Danqing to trigger the 10% attack boost from the Symbiotic Armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright,” Chu Danqing said without hesitation, pulling out his blood-drawing equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already considering not only a painless self-harm active skill for summoning, but also passive skills that increased summon stats the more HP he lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could build an entire alternative self-mutilation support system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bonuses from self-harm skills vastly outstripped conventional buffs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing’s HP-percentage-based summon boosts were mild by comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only drawback was reduced HP weakening combat effectiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>HP represented life force—lowering it inevitably degraded bodily functions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless one followed a berserker system like Da Bao, most systems saw combat power decline as HP dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, this drawback didn’t trouble Chu Danqing—he didn’t fight, so reduced combat power was effectively irrelevant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this enough? If not, I can activate the Five Elements Spirit Array and the Dragon Vein Power for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, I can switch to the Pao Long Son,” Chu Danqing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the corpse-jiao’s flood, the storm and rising waters had expanded into a vast expanse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once he switched, the next return to Ba Xia could only happen at this same time tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cooldown was 24 hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With all these buffs stacked, Guo Ming felt he might surge straight to the peak of third tier—or even brush against the threshold of fourth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Done!” He agreed without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing immediately spent 20% of his mana to activate the Dragon Vein Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he switched his Dragon Son—the Ba Xia form faded, replaced by the Pao Long form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, the Five Elements Spirit Array activated, forming a hundred-meter domain around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With multiple buffs stacked, Guo Ming’s power surged uncontrollably—even he struggled to adapt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember, the Five Elements Spirit Array provided fixed bonuses, but these two were percentage-based.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Nü, watch over Chu Brother—I’ll be back soon,” Guo Ming left Su Nü Sword beside Chu Danqing for protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he shot forward like a streak of light toward the center of the Huanglong River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Nü’s spirit emerged, wielding a sniper rifle, staring blankly at Chu Danqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little sister, don’t stare at me like that—it’s making me nervous,” Chu Danqing asked cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had killed Su Nü’s former master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Su Nü’s spirit had been reforged and purified into Guo Ming’s likeness,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing still couldn’t be sure—he feared the worst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he tried to flatter her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Nü’s spirit blushed from neck to face at Chu Danqing’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chu Brother, you jest—what little sister? I’ve merely accompanied Brother Guo for a long time,” Su Nü’s spirit ignored the rest of his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind was fixed on the two characters: “little sister.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing’s eye twitched—he’d overthought it. Her transformation was complete; there was no lingering grudge to fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, you’re the only girl who’s stayed by Brother Guo’s side the longest,” Chu Danqing replied. “Who else could it be?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing thought his group of men was too rough—he needed a woman to balance the yin and yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that he didn’t want a female ally—he’d only ever experienced feudal societies in his trial worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Women’s status was abysmal, limiting resource access and making compatible partners rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I…” Su Nü’s spirit began emitting sword qi from her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing swallowed hard and sidestepped slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steam was fine—but sword qi was deadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could see the rain being sliced apart by the qi; if it landed on him, it’d leave a hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Nü Sword’s quality was a question mark—meaning it surpassed excellence. How could he possibly withstand it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I say, Brother Guo is too shy,” Chu Danqing suddenly changed tone. “Little sister, you’ve got to push harder—make it official first, then everything else is easy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once the rice is cooked, I’ll help you with Brother Xiong—the matter will be settled.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing kept offering terrible advice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Nü’s spirit was genuinely convinced—Chu Danqing’s words made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll try it. I’ll need your help, Chu Brother, and Brother Xiong’s afterward,” Su Nü’s spirit agreed immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing was about to say more when a thunderous boom erupted from the center of the Huanglong River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he saw towering waves explode into countless pale, severed limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Mission complete. You received: 10,000 Park Points, +4 Attribute Points.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing never even saw what the corpse-jiao looked like—Guo Ming had already killed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the corpse-jiao dead, the storm and flood lost their driving force. Though they didn’t calm instantly, they no longer raged as violently as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the corpse-jiao died, the torrent and flood lost their driving force; though they did not calm immediately, they lost their initial fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After tonight, the rain and the river current should recede.\" Zhong Ting said, trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing was communicating with the Su Nu Sword Spirit and did not see Guo Ming act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhong Ting was different—he watched Guo Ming’s every move. One sword stroke not only reduced the corpse-jiao to unrecognizable fragments, but also split the Huanglong River in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had it not been for the saying that cutting a river with a knife only makes the water flow more, he would have seen a deep gorge right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the rain falling from the sky had been cleaved into visible, razor-like seams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought the Son of Heaven’s Child was strong enough—until this even stronger one appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1672,"2026-06-20T00:54:41.633Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3168c57c8342f2d6c1b956f6d1f5cb1a6c5f6b34900875d83907caaf04a7fe3e","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-217","dimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-chapter-215",305,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdimension-park-i-am-the-summoning-apostle-cover.jpg"]
