"We meet again." The Divine Might Heavenly King walked in, his tone light.

He understood that he had gained a regular customer; at least until the other party obtained an SS-tier evaluation, they would keep designating him.

Although they probably wouldn't meet many more times.

After all, with two consecutive max-level evaluations, if nothing goes wrong, they might have to undergo the Rank Promotion Assessment in the next trial or the one after.

"It seems your progress is good," the Divine Might Heavenly King scanned everyone, and with their changes plus previous data, he quickly had a bottom line.

He then split off a clone and began the lesson.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing asked: "Senior, I have a matter I would like to consult you on."

As he spoke, he took out the Peace Ring, Nine-Child Ghost Mother Diagram, Thousand-Face Martial Shadow Stone, and Beast-Face War Chariot Order, and stated his request.

The Divine Might Heavenly King stroked his chin and said: "This can be considered within the scope of Spirit Control Mastery."

If it weren't within the scope Chu Danqing chose, the Divine Might Heavenly King couldn't teach it; this is a Paradise rule.

However, spirituality involves equipment and skill-type summoned objects, so it is not a violation.

"You want to retain their original selves while also making them into a piece of equipment to improve their quality." After repeating the request, the Divine Might Heavenly King said: "Summon them out and let me see."

Chu Danqing didn't hesitate and summoned them all.

After carefully examining them, the Divine Might Heavenly King said: "This is a bit difficult."

"Immortal spirit, ghost, martial arts, military way."

"The first two come from the same world, so there is room to operate, but the latter two are completely unrelated."

He saw the root of it at a glance; if it were just improving quality, it would be simple.

But Chu Danqing's requirement to retain the personnel and their selves made the conditions much harsher.

"That's why I came to ask you, Senior, if there is any solution." It was precisely because he couldn't solve it himself that he came to consult the Divine Might Heavenly King.

Otherwise, why would he ask?

Furthermore, the other party said it was a bit difficult, which means there is still a way to solve it.

"The Martial Arts Shadow might not be preserved," the Divine Might Heavenly King said. "The others can be considered life, but this Martial Arts Shadow is just a shadow."

"It is difficult to keep him."

"I have no way to help you directly purchase or even distinguish the corresponding equipment, unless you are willing to purchase it first and then come to find me after the next trial."

"But I think you definitely wouldn't want that."

"So I'll say the ugly things first: if you listen to my advice, there is a 90% chance the Martial Arts Shadow will disappear."

"However, its main characteristics have a very high probability of being integrated into the new equipment." Naturally, the Divine Might Heavenly King couldn't choose to be the bad guy.

So he stated the situation directly.

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing nodded: "Please speak."

Listen first, then decide whether to execute it later; that is his own business.

"Find a chariot-type equipment, and require it to have accompanying or resident personnel; it must be one Yin and one Yang, and carry warriors or troops."

"For Fine-tier True Spirit equipment, the True Spirit must be fully awakened."

"In this way, your immortal spirit, ghost, and military way can be smoothly integrated into it."

"As for the Martial Arts Shadow, that will depend on the situation of the equipment you collect," the Divine Might Heavenly King said.

Hearing this, Chu Danqing thought for a moment and said: "If I add another element related to martial arts or shadows, would it be possible to retain it to a greater extent?"

"It is possible, but doing so will cause problems for the remaining three," the Divine Might Heavenly King explained. "If the Martial Arts Shadow were purely a shadow or martial arts, it would be easier to handle."

"But he happens to be impure, which ultimately leads to trouble."

"In your situation, only by making trade-offs can you retain the greatest benefits; there is no way to have the best of both worlds."

Having said this, the Divine Might Heavenly King paused and changed his phrasing: "Actually, you don't need to worry too much."

"He is just a shadow, unlike the other three who will gradually move closer to the main body due to spirituality."

"After all, his main body is just your shadow, so he hasn't left; he has just restored to being your shadow."

"You can find another shadow-type summoning equipment, and he will be able to appear again."

The Divine Might Heavenly King could see that Chu Danqing chose to retain them not because of strength, but because of emotion.

Chu Danqing recalled the summoning situation of Yue Lan Wu Ying, and it seemed that was indeed the case.

He was silent for a moment and ultimately did not continue to press.

The Divine Might Heavenly King certainly had a way to have the best of both worlds; if he kept asking, the other party would tell him.

But then what? Just because the Divine Might Heavenly King has a way doesn't mean he can do it himself.

The Divine Might Heavenly King is a veteran among Paradise guidance personnel and will naturally follow Paradise rules and regulations.

"Since that's the case, let's start the lesson."

"Let's start with Spirituality Mastery; you brought quite a few materials, let's begin..." The Divine Might Heavenly King followed the topic and began formal instruction.

Chu Danqing took out paper, pen, and a video recorder to start learning.

Time is money; Chu Danqing got the answer he needed, and although it wasn't perfect, at least there was a solution.

He could still distinguish priorities and wouldn't let this affect his learning and growth.

Under the guidance of the Divine Might Heavenly King and Chu Danqing's hands-on practice, the knowledge in his mind began to integrate.

At the same time, the attributes of Da Bao, Da Bai, and Da Gu also began to continuously improve under Chu Danqing's cultivation.

Until the 15 days were about to disappear, Chu Danqing also arrived at his goal as promised.

"Senior, there is one thing I don't quite understand," Chu Danqing asked. "Since equipment can improve quality through other means, doesn't growth equipment lose its advantage?"

"As for that, it's not within the scope of teaching." The Divine Might Heavenly King knew but didn't say, but because he was a regular customer, he gave a hint: "You are not a melee-class, so for you, that is indeed the case."

"So you will know after you complete the Rank Assessment at S-tier difficulty and reach Rank Two."

"Time is up, so see you next time." The Divine Might Heavenly King timed it perfectly; after giving the hint, he left directly.

Hearing this, Chu Danqing actually had some guesses.

He suspected it might be some kind of material, just like the Ziwei Jade Seal.

Reaching Rank One at A-tier difficulty, besides passive attributes, was the talent awakening mission.

Then, this S-tier Rank Promotion Assessment must be the same.

Chu Danqing checked his gains this time: his six mastery skills reached level 4, and the bonuses for the first half all reached 8.

The second half remained unchanged as usual; if he wanted growth, he would probably have to wait until the next stage.

Nowadays, the efficiency of skill improvement is getting slower and slower; previously he could improve by 2 levels at once, but this time it only improved by 1 level.

If he wants to speed up training in the training room, he probably needs knowledge-type props to add bonuses.

Otherwise, he can only rely on Proficient-tier skill crystals.

Fortunately, the attribute progress of Da Bao, Da Bai, and Da Gu was good.

【Da Bao/Da Bai/Da Gu】

【Strength: 25/1/19】

【Agility: 25/1/19】

【Constitution: 25/1/19】

【Spirit: 1/28×2/19】

【Perception: 25/28×2/19】

【Spirituality: 30】

Da Bai's attributes leaped to become the highest, each 2 points away from reaching the Rank One limit.

The reason it could improve from 14 to 28 is that Da Bai only needs to improve Spirit and Perception, so resource allocation is relatively concentrated.

After all, everyone has 10,000 Paradise Points of resources, but Da Bao needs to improve 4 attributes, and Da Gu needs 5, which naturally caused the difference in progress.

As for why the three brothers only need 10,000 Paradise Points to have such a large improvement, in fact, the cost cannot be calculated that way.

Besides these resource costs, one must also count Chu Danqing's learning costs; it's not like just feeding them resources will improve their strength.

It is because of Chu Danqing's solid summoning-class knowledge for cultivation that 10,000 Paradise Points can exert such high efficiency.

In other words, he didn't calculate labor costs and was cultivating at cost price.

If he really wanted to formulate these materials into cultivation resources and sell them, that would be retail price.

Unfortunately, this stuff can't be sold at all.

Summoning-class apostles configure it themselves, and non-summoning-class people don't have much demand.

The only pity is that there was no improvement in skills and bloodline.

Skills are easy to say; they can be honed.

Bloodline, like attributes, requires resources.

Chu Danqing has to look at his final remaining Paradise Points; if there is any surplus, he will buy some materials to improve bloodline for Da Bao and Da Gu to cultivate.

As for saving, Chu Danqing will keep at most 10,000 Paradise Points, and the rest will definitely be spent.

If it weren't for the fact that Shanhe Alliance needs Paradise Points, Chu Danqing wouldn't have a single point left, at most keeping enough to buy identity and language packs.

How stupid would one have to be to choose to save up, not converting it into strength as soon as possible but leaving it there? I'm afraid the next trial will be the last one.

Powerful strength can earn more Paradise Points, and consuming a large amount of Paradise Points can allow strength to continue to grow.

This itself is a virtuous cycle; saving money is a good habit, but the premise is having a stable living environment.

For a profession like a Dimensional Apostle where you live from day to day, spending it to become stronger is the best risk-aversion method; otherwise, if you die, it just benefits others.
