Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 175 Brother Kui Mu
They had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Well, actually it hasn't been that long, after all, the Ghost King Club has developed too fast.

In the minutes leading up to the start of this qualifying match, the entire city of Yaoyang was in a frenzy of excitement, with everyone flocking to the event.

Businesses and families from all sides are closely watching this advanced competition.

For local small businesses and families, the rise of Ghost King Club and its subsequent league campaign will undoubtedly become an economic bellwether for Yaoyang City.

Inside the mayor's office, Chen Shilong finished his daily tasks early and stood in front of the live broadcast, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Who would have thought that Yaoyang City, which had been stagnant for so many years, could actually be revitalized by a club?
The vibrant and prosperous scene of Yaoyang City today is exactly what mayors of all generations have dreamed of.

As he sighed, a sense of helplessness and bitterness appeared on Chen Shilong's face.

Unfortunately, Yaoyang City is no longer suitable for the club's development...

This was also the fundamental reason why he was not very supportive of Xue Lingling returning to create the club.

……

In various live streaming rooms, various sponsored advertisements were played in turn, and bullet comments flew everywhere.

Soon after, the countdown ended, and the qualifying rounds finally began.

"Wow, who are those guys from the Zhan Tian Club? I've never seen them before."

"Foreign aid, perhaps?"

"Really? It's just a Silver Rank promotion tournament, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"

"Also, who are those two young men? They seem like they're not simple!"

"Didn't they show up in the bubble tournament a while ago? As far as I know, they seem to be the young scroll artist who was parachuted in from the Peak Dojo a while ago."

"Really? So, those new scrolls from the established clubs are their work?"

"Of course! Otherwise, how could those few lazy, good-for-nothing guild leaders have created such high-quality scrolls?"

"Interesting~ This is getting more and more interesting."

"No, no, it seems like the Ghost King Club also has a new player making an appearance."

"We just had a round of open recruitment, so there are bound to be new contestants. We just don't know how good they are."

"Being placed in the promotion matches right after joining the club means they must be really good."

"Who cares, as long as it doesn't dishonor our Ghost King series and Yin Shuai series."

"Ho! Ho! The fighting has started!"

"The great Demon King series, kill them all!"

"The Yin General's Scroll is the best in the world!"

"Wow, they've all upgraded to silver switches? That's awesome! So awesome!"

……

The qualifying rounds take place on a strange abyss map, at a strategically important and treacherous pass.

Led by Wu Xian, the club elites quickly took their positions, briefly surveyed the fortress terrain, and swiftly arranged their troops.

Outside the fortress, a chilling wind howled as five armies of monsters, now under the control of the other five major clubs, launched a powerful attack.

"It feels so good to be able to draw a scroll with a silver axis!"

Wu Xian hovered in mid-air above the fortress, his feet resting on his natal flying sword, the Laurel Branch, his fighting spirit surging.

Previously, he was frustrated because he couldn't use the Silver Axis Scroll in the same-level league, and he had to rely on Chicken King and Pillar Brother to travel.

Now that he can use silver axes to draw scrolls, it has undoubtedly helped him remove many shackles.

Of course, the same applies to the five major clubs.

On Xue Zhengying's side, he held a silver-tier [Destruction Ghost Emperor] and guarded the route.

With the activation of his seventh-level spiritual power, the Destruction Ghost Emperor descended like the Grim Reaper, causing the army of monsters beyond the pass to tremble in fear. The strength and dominance of the superior scroll were fully demonstrated at this moment. In the various live broadcast rooms, there was a wave of surprise and discussion.

"Good heavens, has Chairman Xue finally released the Scroll of Ascension?"

"This image, this imposing presence, this aura—it's definitely far superior to the Ghost King series."

"Such high-level scrolls will definitely be used in the Gold Rank competition, but unfortunately, scrolls of this level are destined to be out of reach for ordinary consumers like us."

"Actually, it's not entirely without a chance. If there are even more powerful high-level scrolls in the future, this [Destroyer Demon Emperor] will definitely be made available for sale through distribution channels."

"That would be a long time coming."

"If you really can't wait, just throw money at him and show your sincerity. Take ten or twenty million of his money and kneel at the entrance of the Ghost King Club for days and nights. In short, sincerity is the key."

"But speaking of which, who is this guy? He just joined the club and already has Chairman Xue's Ascension Scroll? He even activated Soul Resonance ahead of time. He must have been prepared all along!"

"Wow, level seven spiritual power cultivation, that's a high-level player!"

"Looking at the contestant's information, this person seems to be named Xue Zhengying, and is obviously a member of the Xue family."

"No wonder."

"Hmm~ Why does the name Xue Zhengying sound familiar?"

Looking at Huang Lili's side, she was accompanied by two handsome male gods, Maori Xingjun and Kuimu Xingjun. Her happy face was full of confidence and fighting spirit, and her spiritual power resonated with the two star gods.

Yes, in just one night, Huang Lili successfully achieved a soul connection with two male gods.

When he learned of this news, Wu Xian was completely dumbfounded.

Although they had only just begun to resonate with each other, Wu Xian could sense that Huang Lili's resonance with the two male gods was improving rapidly, even rivaling that of Xue Erge next door.

The difference lies in the fact that Xue Zhengying's soul resonance is based on his affinity with the laws of heaven and earth. After the resonance reaches a certain level, he can also guide and educate the scroll painter.

Huang Lili, on the other hand, is a pure and fervent believer with a simple and passionate "faith" and "infatuation".

To put it bluntly, Huang Lili's level of resonance with her male idol only reached its limit once it reached 100%.

However, Xue Zhengying was able to surpass the 100% limit to a certain extent, which is what truly made Xue Zhengying extraordinary.

"Haha, as expected of my male god, he's so outstanding that he's mesmerizing!"

Huang Lili controlled two Silver Axis Star Lords, slaughtering the monster army as easily as mowing grass, and was so happy that she forgot herself.

What kind of miserable life did I live with those ordinary, mortal men before?

These two strong and handsome male gods are the picture she envisioned.

"Wow~ Brother Kui Mu is so handsome, he'll electrify these demons and monsters~!"

Huang Lili channeled her spiritual energy at full power while also acting as a cheerleader.

Under her control, Kui Mu Xingjun activated his innate ability [Divine Thunder Armor], and a set of armor phantoms formed from lightning appeared around him. Wherever he went, lightning raged, and countless level four and five monsters were reduced to ashes.

Looking at Pleiades Star Lord, although he doesn't have the absolute dominance he has when dealing with insectoid monsters, even disregarding his special attack advantage, Pleiades Star Lord is definitely a powerful fire-attribute spirit.

Moreover, as the embodiment of pure yang, the Rooster Star Lord's cry has a strong deterrent effect on evil spirits and ghosts.

With a cry of "The crowing of dawn," countless ghosts seemed to be exposed to the sun, their bodies sizzling and steaming.

With a wave of his feather fan, streaks of dark red light swept through the horde of monsters, their power no less than that of the Winged Fire Star Lord, and perhaps even greater, as it was pure yang fire, inherently effective against yin spirits and monsters.

Judging from Huang Lili's excited and intoxicated expression, she is the happiest woman in the world.

In various live streaming rooms, viewers were clearly shocked by this "strange" female contestant.

Where did Ghost King Club get such a powerful player?

Meanwhile, elite players such as Xue Qingyang, Du Yifan, Zhou Qi, and Zhang Zihao, with the support of the Silver Axis Ghost King and the Silver Axis Yin Generals, have fought their way out of the fortress and launched a powerful counterattack against the various monster armies.

Wu Xian stood still in mid-air, his eyes slightly moving.

"Yo~ you're here!"
