Changes in the Store

To prevent the students at Soaring Cloud Academy from becoming confined to their daily routines, teachers take them on field trips every year, giving them real-world experience. The opening of the ancient ruins in the Nine Stars Mountain Range is the perfect opportunity for a trial!

Leading the group are two teachers: Ying Wuji, a man with exceptional strength, and Murong Haitang, a woman equally skilled. Both have reached the pinnacle of the Ninth Stage of the Pathseeker Realm.

While the students are there to gain experience, Soaring Cloud Academy is also eager to explore the ancient ruins themselves, never letting an opportunity pass by.

The group disembarked from the Crimson Golden Phoenixhawk, entering Nine Stars City amidst the awe of the local cultivators. The city guards didn't dare to stop them and allowed them to pass with respect. Such was the power of their strength!

The Crimson Golden Phoenixhawk let out a piercing cry, spread its enormous wings, and soared toward the Nine Stars Mountain Range—its ideal destination.

"I didn't expect Soaring Cloud Academy to show up!" someone commented.

"This ancient ruin will definitely turn into a battleground," another added.

"Stop sighing and get in line! I want to get into the city already!" a third person remarked impatiently.

After entering Nine Stars City, the group from Soaring Cloud Academy settled into the largest inn in the city, Drunken Moon Pavilion. But the students didn't stay at the inn for long. After hearing a few words from Ying Wuji and Murong Haitang, they left in small groups, eager to explore.

Meanwhile, Bu Li Ge and Bu Shiyi arrived at the alley near Origin Mall. However, things seemed off.

"Strange, where's the boss? Why isn't he out enjoying the sunlight today?" Bu Li Ge scratched his head in confusion.

"Maybe there's a new product in the store?" Bu Shiyi guessed.

Bu Li Ge nodded enthusiastically, "That must be it! Hurry up, let's go check it out!"

When they entered the store, they were immediately struck by the significant changes inside.

The first thing they noticed was a large black panel facing the door. All the shelves on the right side of the store were gone, replaced by a seat with a silver-white helmet on it. A smaller black panel was positioned in front of it.

The boss and Yao Ziyan were sitting in chairs, both wearing helmets. On the panels before them were two figures. Yao Ziyan appeared to be swiftly defeating a variety of monsters, while the boss seemed to be... losing to them?

Wait, something didn't add up!

Wasn't the boss the best fighter? How could there be such a stark difference between him and Yao Ziyan?

They must have been powerful monsters, Bu Li Ge and Bu Shiyi thought, trying to make sense of it.

"Is this the new product in the store?" Bu Li Ge asked, curious.

New product! Even the son of the Southern Protector had never seen anything like it. Could it be some sort of spiritual item? The boss certainly possessed great powers.

Unlike Bu Li Ge, Bu Shiyi's keen mind noticed something else. She frowned slightly, sensing a change in the store's atmosphere. "Doesn't the space here feel larger than before?"

Bu Li Ge looked around and nodded in agreement. "It does seem different."

Suddenly, Bu Li Ge dashed out of the store, leaving Bu Shiyi puzzled.

A moment later, he returned, and Bu Shiyi couldn't help but laugh. "Bu Li Ge, what were you doing?"

"Of course, I had to verify what I just said!" Bu Li Ge replied, looking at her as if it were obvious.
