"very hungry..."

Xing Mo stretched, looked at the little sunlight coming in through the half-drawn curtains, and sighed.

When did you pass out last night?

That little ancestor is, after all, an evil god... How hateful!

Xingmo looked around the room and found a note left on the bedside table.

She picked up the note and read:

"...your senior came to see me and said we should prepare for your promotion ceremony together. Let's go spend some sweet time with her~"

"...There's a small piece of bread on the table. After you finish eating, come to my house. By the time you see this note, it should be almost ready..."

So fast? Xing Mo frowned and continued reading:

"By the way, you are very soft when you are full of spiritual energy, hehe."

Ah? ? ?

Xing Mo was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

She quickly shook her head, threw the bad things out of her mind, and tried to calm down.

Although I expected the promotion to come soon, I never expected it to be so soon...

This was just mentioned yesterday, and he's already getting promoted today.

This went a little too smoothly...

However, if you think about it carefully, time is indeed imminent. As long as the storm near the academy ends, the "Humpback Whale" will cross the sea and reach Shingara on the other side.

By that time, it would be very difficult for the Academy to enforce the law.

When Xing Mo thought of Prince Austin's expression, he couldn't help but secretly clench his fists and became determined to become stronger.

If he reaches the sixth string, he can definitely be regarded as the top combat force in the academy. Except that hiding his identity will be more troublesome, it will be an absolute improvement for Xingmo.

Next time, no one will be hurt.

Thinking of this, Xingmo suddenly became determined to get up, so he lifted the quilt and took the most difficult step.

She quickly changed her clothes, finished the small bread left by Aurora, went downstairs, called a carriage, and rushed to the White Tower area.

......

“I’m so hungry… I’m so hungry…”

In the hospital ward, Vivian sat on the bed bored, the girl's eyes were empty due to lack of meat.

Alice came over last night, looked exhausted, kissed me, and left... She also said she didn't have time to spend with me today...

He must have cheated...Xiang Xiaomo cheated...Yes...It must be like this...

"..."

Seeing Vivian's increasingly aggrieved expression, the nun who was in charge of taking care of her couldn't help laughing.

Hearing the laughter, Vivian glared at the nun angrily and shouted:

"Miss Sister! I'm almost well again! I can eat meat!"

"No, you have to wait until you are discharged from the hospital tomorrow to eat it." The nun said seriously.

"Woooo..."

Vivian threw herself on the pillow, turned over, turned over again, and kicked her feet.

Ahhhhh, I can’t stay any longer! I really can’t stay any longer!

Ever since Alice picked her up from the mountains, Vivian thought she had already integrated into human society, and under normal circumstances she was very quiet and polite.

Even if she occasionally lost her composure, she would explain it as the Imperial half of her blood taking effect - hey, actually she didn't know whether she had Imperial blood in the strict sense, it was Alice who said so.

She once thought that she was a graceful lady, elegant and indifferent, and could be considered an aristocrat in human society.

But now, all she wanted to do was roll over.

It would be best if he could roll off the bed onto the floor! From the floor onto the street! From the street onto the sea! Then roll all the way onto the deck of the Humpback Whale and kill Prince Austin!

Go crazy! Those who aren't crazy are just trying to hold on! You should go crazy!

“Ah wow…”

Vivian suddenly lay flat on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

I can't go crazy. If I do, Alice will dislike me, and then she will really run away with Xiaomo...

Damn it... Why did Xiaomo become a girl... Doesn't this make her my competitor?

Vivian was suddenly filled with resentment, which made the nun beside her laugh again.

As I was laughing, I suddenly heard the sound of flapping wings outside the window.

"what?"

The nun looked out the window, and in an instant, an ice-blue vertical pupil suddenly opened—

——That’s the dragon’s eye!

The nun took two steps back in fright, but Vivian jumped up from the bed and opened her arms:

"Erum! You're back!"

Vivian jumped out of bed, opened the window, and stretched out her arms to hug the huge dragon head outside the window.

At this moment, everyone in the White Tower District stopped to watch - a giant dragon landed beside the "Holy Spirit Church", with its huge wings folded behind it, its posture noble and proud.

"Wuwuwuwu... I missed you so much... Did you have a good time in Yanxia? Did you try the local specialties? Oh, although you were only there for half a month, I'm sorry to call you back, wuwuwuwu..."

Vivian rubbed the dragon's head affectionately, then asked seriously:

"Erum, is there any meat?"

The dragon froze for a moment, then nodded hesitantly and withdrew its head.

After a few seconds, it threw in two pieces of raw meat, which landed stickily on the floor.

Vivian:......

"I don't eat raw meat... I don't eat raw meat... I told you I'm a lady now..."

Vivian quickly pushed Erlum's head away and gave the sullen-faced nun a flattering smile:

"Ahahaha... Miss Sister, don't be angry, I will clean it up!"

......

"That's pretty quick. I thought you wouldn't come until tonight."

In the hall of Alice's mansion, Aurora looked at Xingmo with a smile, shaking a glass of red wine in her hand.

"Alas, we've been enjoying fine wine all morning. As expected, the wine brewed by the nobles is still the most delicious..."

Xing Mo looked at her, then looked at Senior Sister Alice beside her, and pointed directly at the cup and said:

"Senior, grape juice or pomegranate juice?"

"Grape juice." Alice sighed helplessly.

Aurora seemed to be choking. She put the cup on the table awkwardly and cleared her throat.

She was exposed in a second, but she did not get discouraged. Instead, she smiled brightly:

"While you were sleeping, we have prepared the ceremony. We can go now."

"Is it really that fast?" Xing Mo spoke subconsciously, feeling her heart tighten.

It's like you just passed the exam yesterday and have to report to school the next day. The feeling is heart-stopping.

Alice nodded and said:

"Because most of the ritual materials are already in my family's treasury. As for the venue, I already arranged it when I went to the Holy Spirit Church last night. We can use the No. 6 string magic circle near the White Tower, but time is limited."

The promotion ceremony from five strings to six strings requires the assistance of powerful holy objects, so as to maintain stability to the greatest extent possible and avoid the end of the soul dissipating.

Therefore, the promotion ceremony of the "Saint" is usually held near the "White Tower", because the tower left by the goddess is itself the greatest holy object in the world.

Xing Mo still remembers the scene when he was promoted from the fourth string to the fifth string - in order to apply for territory, Mentor Lucius tinkered with it for several months, and finally obtained the right to use the "White Tower" No. 3 string array for one hour at night.

The stars that night were golden, and Xingmo became a "Saint" under the auspices of Principal Merlin.

She remembered that after she was successfully promoted that day, she was so tired that she could not even stand. It was Miriam who helped her all the way home and put her to bed.

"..."

Xing Mo came back to his senses and said immediately:

"Then let's set off."

......

Alice's house was not far from the "White Tower", and with the layers of checks around the "White Tower", Xing Mo took about ten minutes to reach the No. 6 string array.

The entire string formation is carved on a piece of white stone with a diameter of more than 30 meters. The afternoon sun makes the patterns carved on the stone slab glow faintly, as if golden light is flowing through it.

Nearby, the "White Tower" stands tall, its flawless white body gleaming in the sunlight, and the surrounding air seems to be distorted by its existence.

"It's quite beautiful." Aurora looked at the white tower, lost in thought for a moment.

Alice glanced at Aurora and said immediately:

"This tower is the foundation of the city's stability. During the Eternal Night Divine War, the two ancient gods tore apart the continental plates, creating the interstellar sea. The foundation of the entire continent was unstable at the time, and it even threatened to break apart."

"In order to allow humans to flourish and develop civilization in the most fertile land, the goddess descended this tower from the sky to firmly anchor the earth. She also endowed the tower with the power of starlight, allowing it to drive away threats from the Far North and the starry sky."

Aurora nodded thoughtfully and pointed at the tower.

"What will happen if we destroy it directly?"

Everyone present shuddered slightly upon hearing these words, and Xingmo quickly covered Aurora's mouth:

"Little ancestor, have you forgotten where this is? If you destroy that, it will of course trigger the divine descent."

"By then, you're done."

Aurora nodded thoughtfully and patted the back of Xingmo's hand to indicate that she would stop talking nonsense.

At this time, a blue figure came from a distance. Xingmo looked closely and was surprised to find that it was Elmo wearing a white robe.

The library's book spirit had lost her previous aloofness and arrogance. She looked at the three people with empty eyes and pointed behind her:

"The layout is complete, but we're missing the core materials and some people..."

Looking at Miss Elmo's submissive look, Xingmo couldn't help but sweat.

This is what it means to be a person who has been trained by an evil spirit... He was held there and sucked for so long... 24 hours a day without interruption...

"You did a great job!" Aurora jumped up with a smile and patted Elmo's head. "Then let's get started!"

After saying that, she made half a space for Xingmo and motioned her to come over.

Xingmo glanced at Aurora, then at Senior Alice, and took a deep breath.

Then she walked through the circle and stood in the center of it.

"..."

Xing Mo did nothing but silently concentrated his spirit and gathered his soul.

The principle of the "Rite of Ascension" is simple: play the strings, strengthen the spirit through the ritual, and it ends.

After all, the human soul is limited. In this kind of ritual, the spirit condensation materials of some mythical creatures are generally used to strengthen the spirit of the ascender.

The theory that spirits devouring each other exhibit an amplifying effect was originally coined by humans through observation of powerful vengeful spirits. These vengeful spirits devoured each other and the spirituality of nature, transforming a small amount of resentment into a vast amount, ultimately creating genuine evil spirits.

All living things in the world are essentially the result of the superposition of soul and body. From this perspective, devouring a spirit is nothing more than exercising muscles, and it is an act of gaining greater strength.

But the difference is that the strengthening of the spirit body is slow. If you want to achieve a qualitative leap, you can only plunder the soul characteristics of other living beings.

"..."

As Xingmo was concluding his thoughts, he heard footsteps approaching from afar.

Xingmo opened her eyes and saw Aurora standing in front of her, holding a light blue horn-like object in her hand.

It was a broken horn with a sharp edge. Blue arcs of electricity would occasionally burst out from the air around it, lingering around it.
