Divine Seal: The Shadow Legion, I am the Shadow Lord.

After defeating the Gale Wolf, Li Xin sat on the back of the Rose Unicorn.

Recalling Yun Xuan's performance in commanding the Ghost Shadow Legion during the battle just now, a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

She tilted her head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Little brother, I have a question... I feel like the ghost ninjas I summon are weaker than yours, whether it's their reaction speed, strength, or even... well, their spirituality?"

She struggled to find the right words to describe it.

The ghostly legion summoned by Yunxuan was composed of soldiers who seemed to be seasoned veterans.

When she tried to summon them herself, the ninjas obeyed her commands, but they always gave off a "rigid" and "mechanical" feeling.

Moreover, their strength seems to be lacking.

Could it be that there are differences in strength between different Ghost Legions?

Upon hearing this, Yunxuan frowned slightly, then shook his head and said, "Theoretically speaking, it shouldn't be the case."

He can now summon three types of ghost legions, all of which should have inherited some of the host's strength. Although they have different focuses in terms of abilities, there should not be a significant gap in their actual strength.

At least he hasn't yet discovered which Ghost Legion is significantly stronger than the others.

This explanation made Li Xin think. If the problem wasn't with the legion itself, then the problem lay with her.

Li Xin did not rush back, but went to an open space to verify the information on site.

She then focused her mind, communicating with the power within her that was connected to the blue Razo mask, and attempted to summon it.

As her spiritual energy was depleted, the shadow beneath her feet began to ripple, and several figures gradually coalesced into shape.

The legion summoned by Li Xin was a shadowy armor.

Their figures are more robust and upright than ordinary ninja shadows, exuding the weight and solidity of warriors.

The most striking feature is that its entire body is completely covered by a layer of dark, jade-like shadow armor, and its head is covered by a ferocious beast-head-shaped warrior helmet.

Behind the helmet, a long samurai sword hangs silently, its scabbard also made of shadow, integrated with the armor.

"So it really is just the basic form?"

Even before Li Xin summoned him, Yun Xuan already had a guess.

Now that we've seen it, we can confirm that Li Xin has not become the true host of the Ghost Mask, and therefore can only summon the basic form of the Helmet Shadow Legion.

"Basic form?" Li Xin asked, somewhat puzzled.

"That's right." Yunxuan nodded.

"Although you have obtained the authority to summon, you can only borrow a portion of the mask's power because you haven't formally accepted the mask's contract," Yunxuan explained.

Then, Yunxuan summoned the Ninja Shadow.

When you put the two side by side, you can see that although the armored figure looks more imposing, there is a clear difference in their auras.

Li Xin also realized what was going on, looking at the somewhat "cute" initial version of the helmeted ninjas she had summoned.

Looking at the clearly more "elite" ninja shadows beside Yunxuan, he finally understood the difference.

"So... if I want my 'Helmet Shadow' to become as strong as your 'Ninja Shadow'..." Li Xin looked at Yun Xuan, her gaze intense.

"Then you need to truly become the host of the Ghost Mask," Yunxuan replied.

This answer made Li Xin fall into deep thought.

After the battle just now, Li Xin realized that having the Ghost Shadow Legion was truly amazing.

He doesn't need to lift a finger to deal with the small fry; he can form an army with just one person, and it seems to be endless!

Afterwards, the two returned to the Adventurers' Guild to hand in the quest and receive two hundred gold coins.

Yunxuan and Li Xin walked side by side on the street back to the Haoyue Branch Hall.

Li Xin glanced at the somewhat worn fine iron longsword carried on Yun Xuan's back and couldn't help but say, "Little brother, isn't this sword a bit too ordinary? Using this kind of standard training sword all the time will limit your strength to some extent. Aren't you planning to get a better weapon?"

Yunxuan patted the money pouch at his waist, which contained freshly acquired gold coins. He said, "I was planning to exchange them, which is why I was thinking of taking on missions to earn money, but I'm still a bit short."

Upon hearing this, Li Xin's eyes lit up. She quickly walked to Yun Xuan, turned around, and walked backwards, a smile playing on her lips. "Is that so? Then how about... I give you a weapon!"

Seeing Yunxuan's brow twitch as if he was about to speak, she immediately raised a finger and shook it, saying first, "Hey, don't even think about refusing! It's not anything particularly valuable, just consider it... a little gift from your older sister to your younger brother!"

"You did such a great job just now, your older sister should show you some appreciation."

Yunxuan felt that these words sounded strange.

Seeing Li Xin's earnest expression, he knew that refusing would only make things awkward, so he didn't stand on ceremony and nodded in agreement: "Okay, then thank you in advance, Sister Xin. I just earned my first pot of gold, so I'll treat you to dinner tonight. We should have something nice to celebrate."

"Deal! It's settled!"

Li Xin turned and stood shoulder to shoulder with Yun Xuan, excitedly planning: "I know a few restaurants that have good food; tonight I'm going to make you spend some money!"

The two chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at a rather large and exquisitely decorated weapon shop in the central area of ​​Haoyue City.

According to Li Xin, this is one of the best weapon shops in Haoyue City.

In the Holy Demon Continent, weapons and equipment are roughly divided into the following categories from low to high: ordinary equipment, alloy equipment, magic equipment, spirit demon equipment, glorious equipment, legendary equipment, epic equipment, immortal equipment, and the legendary mythical equipment.

Li Xin's pair of swords, engraved with runes and radiating a sacred aura, were magical equipment.

As soon as the two stepped into the weapon shop, Yunxuan paused almost imperceptibly, his brows furrowing.

His gaze swept across the store discreetly.

Li Xin quickly noticed Yun Xuan's unusual behavior and asked, "Little brother, what's wrong? Does something seem off?"

Yunxuan replied, "There is also a host of the Ghost Mask here."

"Here?!" Li Xin was startled upon hearing this and instinctively looked around.

She never imagined that there would be another "kindred spirit" hiding in this weapons shop.

Not only Li Xin, but even Yun Xuan felt somewhat surprised.

In the city of Haoyue, how could two holders of the Ghost Mask appear at the same time?

That probability is a bit too high.

For some reason, when Li Xin heard Yun Xuan say that there was another inheritor here, a figure she disliked immediately popped into her mind as a conditioned reflex.

He immediately thought to himself, "Please don't let it be her..."

However, it is counterproductive.

"To think I'd run into you here. Looks like my luck isn't so good today." A clear, slightly arrogant female voice rang out.

Yunxuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw three people, two men and one woman, walking over from that direction. They seemed to have finished choosing their weapons and were preparing to leave.

As they passed Yunxuan and Li Xin, they stopped in their tracks. It was the girl walking in the middle who spoke.

The girl was wearing a well-tailored dark blue magic robe. The robe was of extraordinary quality, and the faint elemental fluctuations gave it a subtle blue halo.

It was clearly a good magical item.

On her left breast, there is a striking mark: three silver stars encircling her.

That's the insignia of a mage!

To be honest, this was the first time Yunxuan had ever seen a professional mage in person.
