The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

[Obtained Sequence 7 - The Executioner]

[Gaining Trait - Sin Gaze]: Greatly enhances the five senses, allowing direct vision of the target's sins, accurately locking onto the aura of a guilty target, and preventing escape.

[Gain Trait - Torture]: Attacks contain the power of torture, doubling the target's pain upon hit, and causing both physical and mental damage.

[Gain Skill - Declaration of Conviction]: After activation, mark the target with an indelible "Sin Mark". The marked target will suffer additional damage based on the degree of sin.

[Gain Skill - Shadow of Judgment]: Condenses a shadow into a [Shadow Arbitrator], which can share senses with the user, take the fall and absorb damage, traverse shadows, replicate 1-2 of the user's own skills (80% effect), and attack an enemy's shadow can transfer the damage to the user.

[Gain Skill - Forced Execution]: After activation, it deals massive damage to the target regardless of the degree of sin. If the target's health is below a certain level, it can be forcibly executed!

The moment the notification sounded, Lu Yan immediately took out the [Arbitrator] potion and swallowed it.

Although it's not necessary, advancing without potions is always a problem.

The moment he took the potion, the cross that had just formed on the back of his hand suddenly expanded, transforming into streams of pure holy light that flowed into his body.

In the next instant, his body and soul seemed to be torn apart at the same time, and intense pain repeatedly assaulted his will like a tsunami.

"It actually strengthens both the physical body and the spirit simultaneously?"

Lu Yan gritted his teeth, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, but the light in his eyes grew even brighter.

Combat sequences are mostly divided into physical or mental sides, and the conditions for advancement to dual-strength sequences are extremely demanding. He never expected that the Executioner was such a rare sequence.

The excruciating pain vanished in an instant, and an overwhelming surge of power swept through his entire body. The holy light that had enveloped him quickly receded, finally condensing in his eyes and transforming into a pair of pale gold cross symbols.

Lu Yan looked around and clearly saw that the people around him were surrounded by varying degrees of red aura.

That is the mark of sin, and at this moment, he can render judgment on any sinner at any time.

He instinctively clenched his fist, gathering unprecedented strength in his palm, and thought to himself:

If I were to face my former self now, I could probably crush him with a single blow.

The executioner felt an overwhelming sense of guilt and desperately wanted to carry out the execution!

The eerie gardener smelled a strong odor of pollution and sensed a strange smell.

Suddenly, the executioner issued a warning, and a chilling aura of sin appeared in his field of vision.

But before he could see the source, the aura vanished completely, as if it had never existed.

"Pollution and strangeness... Is it Fang Xiu?"

Lu Yan raised an eyebrow. Did these followers of the evil god have to be so arrogant, appearing one after another in the enemy's base?

Are they acting with impunity, or are they simply giving up entirely?

On the other side, Xiao Yiren and her group also sensed that fleeting aura.

Although they didn't exchange any words, Yin Shuo and Ning Ran still chased after them immediately.

On the other side, sensing the change in Lu Yan's aura, Yao Xiangyang's lips involuntarily parted into a smile.

"Sequence 7! We've been promoted to Sequence 7!"

He murmured softly, his voice filled with disbelief and ecstasy.

How long has it been? This kid has already advanced to Sequence 7?

With such a high degree of compatibility, this kid is a born judge!

"It seems we've found a hidden gem."

Xiao Yiren smiled gently, turned to look at Tantai Yu, whose expression was complicated, and said, "Uncle Tantai, we plan to stay here for a few days to rest and recuperate. Will that be too much of a bother?"

"Of course not, you're most welcome."

Tantai Yu shook his head slightly and gestured to Xiao Yiren to come with him.

Yao Xiangyang had no time to care about anything else at the moment. He teleported in front of Lu Yan, grabbed him, and quickly left.

In just a short while, only the four elders of Mu Yun remained on the second floor, their faces grim.

"Old Zhao, what should we do next?"

Wang Ping asked in a deep voice.

"You're asking me what to do?"

Zhao Pan snorted coldly and said, "You really think these three little kids are here to announce new rules?"

"If it's not announcing new rules, then could it be...?"

Wang Ping seemed to have thought of something, and his expression grew increasingly grim.

"In recent years, various shelters have become increasingly independent, and the original shelter is clearly no longer willing to sit idly by."

"Issuing new rules a pretense; the real purpose is to regain control over the various shelters!"

Watching Tantai Yu and Xiao Yiren gradually disappear into the distance, Zhao Pan said, "They think they can intimidate us by sending just a few young people? Does the Yuan Chu really think they have us cornered?"

"Should we do something?"

"Old Lu asked in a low voice."

"No need, some people are even more anxious than we are."

Zhao Pan shook his head, looking at Tantai Yu's figure, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Our speaker's obsession with power is stronger than anyone else's."

……

After escorting Xiao Yiren to her lodgings, Tantai Yu hurriedly left.

The new screening system mentioned by Xiao Yiren has a significant impact on him, and he must prepare for it as soon as possible.

Not long after Tantai Yu left, Yin Shuo and Ning Ran returned one after another.

"We lost them."

Ning Ran said calmly.

"I never expected that Shelter 056 would have so many interesting things. An unclaimed Primal Card, tsk tsk~"

Yin Shuo's eyes were filled with fervor, and he rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"That's a Primal Card! If we could bring it back, our teacher would be overjoyed, or else..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ning Ran punched him in the face, sending him crashing into the wall.

Xiao Yiren ignored this and leaned against the balcony, gazing into the distance.

"The original cards will find their own owners on their own; we don't need to collect them deliberately."

"Don't forget that our mission is to find the person who caused the disruption of the Primal Path; nothing else matters."

Yin Shuo forcefully pulled himself off the wall, pitifully rubbing his face.

"So, Yiren, you think it's that kid named Lu Yan?"

Xiao Yiren shook her head and said, "I'm not sure either, it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision."

"Even the teacher can't give a precise location, so I certainly can't. I'll just take a gamble."

"However, I seem to have always been quite lucky~"

Xiao Yiren hummed an unknown tune and skipped into the house, leaving Yin Shuo looking completely bewildered.

"So, is Lu Yan really him or not?"

……

The top floor of the adjudication department, inside the courtroom.

Yao Xiangyang kept looking Lu Yan up and down, as if he were looking at some rare animal.

"So, you really did awaken your detective potential after meeting Qing'er?"

Lu Yan chuckled helplessly and said, "Teacher, you've asked this question dozens of times on the way here."

"I know, but your promotion speed is just a bit outrageous."

Yao Xiangyang clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "It hasn't been that long, and you've already advanced to Sequence 7."

"Even if we worked non-stop, it wouldn't be this fast."

Lu Yan's lips twitched. Could he really say that his own cultivation sequence was truly working tirelessly day and night?

Seeing that Yao Xiangyang still had no intention of letting him go, Lu Yan had no choice but to change the subject.

"Teacher, what was the purpose of the three people who came today?"
