Please be my partner.

Of course, most of them were directed and performed by Yueying Garuru himself, a few were carefully planned, and only a very few were accidental encounters.

In just less than a month, Moon Shadow Garuru became famous. When it arrived at the capital of the Starfish Empire, it received visits and attempts to win it over from various forces.

In response, Moonshadow Garuru ignored it and went straight to the Moonshadow Order's headquarters.

The people of the Starfish Empire branch of the Moon Shadow Order also attach great importance to Moon Shadow Garuru, a talented 'native'. They are even more delighted when they learn that Moon Shadow Garuru's strength has reached the late legendary stage.

You must know that the various cultivation methods introduced by the Moon Shadow Order in the Moon Shadow are all for a purpose, which is to screen out talents that meet their needs.

The branch director asked with a pleasant face, "Yueying, what is your occupation?"

Moon Shadow Garuru said: "I am the Guardian of the Moon."

Following the call of Moon Shadow Garuru, rays of moonlight surrounded it, forming armor and a sword and shield. This was the signature ability of the [Moon Guardian] after he was promoted to a legend... [Moon Guardian].

Based on the strength of [Guardian of the Moon], the branch director could easily determine that Moon Shadow Garuru had indeed reached the late legendary stage.

Next, I asked for some details, such as where Moon Shadow Garuru came from? Where did he receive the inheritance of the Moon Guardian? How long did it take him to cultivate to this level? ...

Melen and Moonshadow Garuru had already made plans for these. In addition to making a name for himself, Moonshadow Garuru was also subtly and continuously adding traces of himself along the way.

Moon Shadow Garuru seemed to be lost in memory and said, "I have been without parents since I was a child. Although the elders in the town are very kind to me, I also need to do some work to support myself..."

"...One time, I was picking fruit in the mountains, but I accidentally got lost. After spending several days, I unknowingly came to a strange valley full of monsters. Just as I was about to be eaten, I fell into a cave. There was a corpse in the cave. It was from this corpse that I inherited the [Guardian of the Moon]..."

"...My strength improved by leaps and bounds, and I finally made it out of the valley without any danger. After returning to the town, I continued to practice silently without deliberately showing off..."

"...Finally, I decided to go out and explore the world, hoping to make a career for myself!"

Listening to Moonshadow Garuru's words, the branch director was a little dazed. He always felt that the development of this story was like a classic plot in some novels and storybooks. However, seeing Moonshadow Garuru's sincere eyes, the branch director still believed it.

However, no matter how much we believe it, we still need to conduct the necessary investigation, but there is no need to tell Moon Shadow Garuru about this.

The branch director said gently, "Yueying, you're quite good. Given your situation, it won't be long before you receive a transfer order from headquarters. However, before that, you still have a lot to learn."

Moon Shadow Garuru immediately patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, sir, I will study hard!"

The branch director was delighted by the word "Sir", and his eyes turned more kindly towards Moon Shadow Garuru.

Chapter 521 Implantation and Planning

The Astral Realm is not far from the Redstone Realm. At this moment, Melen is having a "friendly" exchange with a Saint of the Moon Shadow Order.

From the latter, Melen obtained a lot of secret information and also roughly understood the current situation of the Fighting Spirit Clan.

As Dark Blade guessed, the reason why the Moon Shadow Order has not yet destroyed the Fighting Soul Clan is indeed because the current Fighting Soul Clan is not strong enough to support a mature divine weapon.

As of now, although the Fighting Soul Clan is kept in captivity in the Shadow of the Moon, they are actually living quite well. Except for those Fighting Soul Clan members who have surpassed the Saints and are all imprisoned, the remaining Fighting Soul Clan members still have a certain amount of space to move around.

Even those newly born fighting spirits are very close to the Moon Shadow Order.

However, this is all the information the Moon Shadow Order Saint in front of him knows. Everything about the Fighting Spirit Clan is a top secret in the Moon Shadow Order. Apart from the two demigods, only a handful of peak saints know the ins and outs of it.

People like the Moon Shadow Order Saint captured by Melen knew very little about how to forge the Fighting Soul Clan into divine weapons.

In the memories of the Moon Shadow Order Saints, there are only a few ways to contact the captive Fighting Spirit Clan.

After thinking for a moment, Melen began to modify the memory of the Moon Shadow Order Saint, and also made some secret arrangements.

For Melen, with the demigod-level illusion ability of Xiao Liuli, he can easily play with the saint in the palm of his hand, but if he wants to do something and doesn't want to be discovered, it will be a little more troublesome.

After completing the arrangement, Mellen smiled slightly, turned around and disappeared.

After a while, Hora woke up from his trance. As a saint, he immediately noticed the abnormality in himself and became alert.

But after checking his surroundings and himself and finding nothing unusual, Hola looked confused and muttered to himself, "What just happened?"

As Hora recalled, his memories before the trance began to become gradually clearer.

"I actually entered a state of enlightenment?"

Hora was in disbelief at first, then felt a little regretful. He looked around himself again, and after the "epiphany", his understanding of the rules seemed to have indeed improved a little.

Looking at the surrounding wilderness, Hora felt that if he could enter the state of enlightenment in a stable environment, the improvement he could obtain would be greater.

Calming his mind, Hora hurried back to Moon Shadow.

After arriving at the Redstone Realm, entering the Moon Shadow from the entrance, and going through numerous screenings, both overt and covert, Hora finally returned to the Moon Shadow Order headquarters. After submitting this mission, he regained his freedom.

Hora didn't want to go out on a mission for the time being. He planned to relax for a while and see if he could find the feeling of enlightenment again.

Countless thoughts flashed through Hola's mind. He thought of his hometown, the places that had once left a deep impression on him, and the areas he had always wanted to visit but had not been able to.

As a certain thought solidified in his mind, Hola's eyes lit up, and he muttered to himself with some nostalgia, "That's right, haven't I wanted to visit the Starfish Empire a long time ago? Not only is there a vast ocean there, but it's also said that the beauties there are quite 'generous'!"

Although the so-called ocean was nothing new to the now knowledgeable Hora, and it was even possible for him to create an ocean if he wanted to, it didn't matter if he made a trip there since it was to fulfill a wish he had made long ago.

After finding the reason, Hola immediately reported the next action.

The Moon Shadow Order has very strict management of Moon Shadow. Except for some specific areas, Saint-level strongmen who want to go to other areas or countries of Moon Shadow need to report in advance, and it is strictly forbidden to use Saint-level power.

Soon, Hola's application was approved, which was as it should be. Similar applications were basically just a formality.

However, to Hora's surprise, the headquarters also gave him an additional task.

Hola sighed. He didn't expect that even during his rare vacation, he still couldn't get rid of the troubles of the mission.

However, after carefully reading the content of the task, Hola felt relieved.

The mission was about discovering an indigenous genius in the Starfish Empire. The mission hoped that after arriving in the Starfish Empire, Hora would secretly observe the genius to see if there were any problems with this sudden indigenous genius and whether he was worth training.

Hora shrugged. In his current position, genius or not didn't mean much. Although the headquarters could trouble him to send him out to observe, and he thought that the native genius might have some special features, it didn't matter.

Hola made up her mind to just deal with it casually when the time comes and not let her vacation be delayed because of it.

Thinking of this, Hora's mood became cheerful. He left the Moon Shadow Order headquarters and headed towards the Starfish Empire.

On the way, Hora did not walk fast. Occasionally, when he came across some beautiful scenery, he would stop to appreciate it. But even so, with the speed of a saint, it only took him seven or eight days to reach the capital of the Starfish Empire.

Hora went straight to the Starfish Empire branch. He planned to take a look at the native genius and then leave. He would just write an evaluation of "above average" when the time came. After all, the latter would have to go through various screenings after joining the Moon Shadow Order. One more or one less would not make much difference.

Humming a cheerful tune, Hola strolled through the streets of the capital like an ordinary person. When he was about to reach the branch, his spirit had already entered it and "saw" the young and vibrant individual.

Hola paused slightly, and he was about to turn around and leave, but he stopped. He looked at the young man who was training seriously in the training ground, with admiration on his face.

The interactions between people are inherently wonderful. If the first impression is good, even two strangers can quickly become friends.

This seemed to be the case with Hora at this moment. It seemed as if this genius boy was destined to be compatible with him. He felt an indescribable liking for him at the first sight.

At one point, Hora even wondered if this could be his own descendant!

As a saint who has lived for thousands of years, Hora naturally had a lover and children when he was young. Although those close to him have been buried in the years, his family has survived and gradually grown stronger under his protection.

Although Hora's family is not in the Starfish Empire, it is not impossible that one or two descendants occasionally arrive here and branch out.

As these thoughts were turning in his mind, Hora lost his mood to play and began to observe the young man in the branch carefully.

After a few days, Hola was no longer satisfied with observing from afar, but looked for opportunities to contact and chat.

As they got to know each other better, Hora liked the boy named Yueying more and more. Even after he found out that the boy was not his descendant, his love for him did not diminish in the slightest.

Hola couldn't help but sigh, maybe this is the fate between people.

Several days passed in a flash.

Hora looked at Moon Shadow Garuru with a smile and asked, "After spending so many days together, I think you should have some guesses about my identity, right?"

Moon Shadow Garuru said, "You can come and go here freely. I guess you must be an important figure from the General Association, right?"

Hola nodded and said, "Yes, I have been assigned the task of observing you and making an evaluation of you."

Moon Shadow Garuru was stunned. According to the information conveyed by Melen, he would indeed guide a Moon Shadow Order saint to come to the Starfish Empire and implant a subconscious mind that would have a good impression of it in advance, but the mission of the Moon Shadow Order was somewhat unexpected.

Moon Shadow Garuru gave a shy smile and asked nervously, "So...so what do you think of me?"

Hola laughed heartily and said, "You are very good, quite good! You are the most talented young man I have ever met."

Moon Shadow Garuru scratched the back of his head as if he was embarrassed by the praise.

If this kind of action is seen by people who dislike it, they will naturally be criticized and look at it as awkward no matter how they look at it. But in Hora's eyes, he just thinks that Moon Shadow Garuru is simple and unpretentious, which is really special!

Huo La thought for a moment and then asked directly, "Yueying, do you want to be my student?"

Moon Shadow Garuru showed a look of surprise and said, "Really?! I do!"

Hola smiled broadly.

A few hours later, the branch director looked at Yueying Garuru with envy as he was about to leave. He knew that the latter's departure was like a leap from a fish to a dragon, and their identities would be very different in the future.

Moon Shadow Garuru maintained the image of a passionate young man. After saying goodbye to the friends he made in the branch one by one, he followed Hora away.

Under Hora's leadership, it only took them one day to return to the Moon Shadow Order headquarters.

After simply completing the registration records, Hora personally took Yueying Garuru to familiarize himself with the headquarters environment. This was also an obvious signal to others, telling them that this new boy was under his protection.

Although Melen had shared a lot of information with Moonshadow Garuru, Moonshadow Garuru still pretended to listen attentively to Hora's story.

"...Do you see that tall tower? That's the 'Moon Tower', a place that tests a person's aptitude. Once you enter, the Moon Tower will manifest an enemy based on your age and strength. Defeat it and you'll ascend to the next level."

"If you can reach the tenth floor, it means you are a genius beyond the ordinary. If you can reach the twentieth floor, it means you are a genius among geniuses, and there is a high probability that you will become a saint in the future. If you can climb to the fiftieth floor or above, it means you have the potential to become a demigod, and you will receive the full training of the Moon Shadow Order!"

"It is said that the Moon Tower has a total of ninety-nine floors. If you can reach the top, it is not impossible to achieve eternal immortality in the future!"

"..."

"...The Fighting Spirit Clan is a subsidiary clan of my Moon Shadow Order. They are a race born to wield weapons. By signing a contract with them, one can directly obtain a spiritual and extraordinary weapon that can greatly enhance their combat effectiveness..."

"...The Moon Washing Pool gathers the spiritual light of the moon. After entering and receiving baptism there, one's aptitude can be greatly improved. Those who cultivate extraordinary professions related to the 'moon' attribute can also gain additional benefits. You are the [Guardian of the Moon], and baptism in the Moon Washing Pool is extremely important to you..."

"..."

When Hora's explanation came to an end, Moon Shadow Garuru took the opportunity to ask, "Teacher Hora, how can I get those special rewards?"

Hola smiled and said, "Two ways..."

"One is to systematically complete the various tasks assigned by the Moon Shadow Order and accumulate sufficient merits. However, this method is relatively slow. With your current strength, even if you accumulate merits for dozens or even hundreds of years, you'll probably only be able to redeem one of the rewards."

"The second is climbing the Moon Tower. To encourage members to actively climb the tower, the Moon Shadow Order has set up quite generous rewards. This is also the main way for talented members to obtain high-level rewards."

Moon Shadow Garuru nodded thoughtfully. In fact, it had known this information for a long time.

After spending a day settling in, Moon Shadow Garuru started the challenge of the Moon Tower the next day.

Hola was quite satisfied when he got the news.

Members like Moon Shadow Garuru, who were recruited with the reputation of genius, actually have a fairly ample adaptation period. During this period, they do not need to carry out tasks. Instead, the Moon Shadow Order will provide them with quite rich training resources.

Now that Moon Shadow Garuru is willing to make progress, Hora is naturally very pleased and feels that he has not made a mistake.

On the first floor of the Moon Tower, Moon Shadow Garuru passed through a layer of fog and entered a dark forest. As it was looking around, suddenly a sound of breaking through the air sounded from behind it.

Moon Shadow Garuru dodged the attack of a looming figure by slightly turning sideways. The moonlight in his hand gathered and condensed into a long sword, which he swung diagonally.

The black shadow was instantly cut into two pieces. It was a legendary early-stage shadow beast.

Moon Shadow Garuru just took a look and ignored it. The legendary shadow beast in front of him was not even as good as the leopard-shaped shadow beast it had originally dealt with.

With the death of the legendary shadow beast, the fog in front rolled and a staircase leading upwards appeared out of thin air.

After a brief observation, Moon Shadow Garuru went straight up.

On the second floor of the Moon Tower, Moon Shadow Garuru looked behind him. As the fog dissipated, the previous stairs also disappeared without a trace. The environment in front of him was a cliff. On the left was a dark abyss, and on the right was a churning sea of fog. Obviously, only the small area where he was currently located could move freely.

"Violence!~"

Accompanied by an eagle's cry, a giant eagle shadow beast with a wingspan of seven or eight meters attacked Moon Shadow Garuru.

Moon Shadow Garuru dodged the Giant Eagle Shadow Beast's first attack with ease. When the latter launched its second attack, dozens of vines suddenly grew out of the ground and tied it up tightly.

The vines wrapped around and contracted, crushing the giant eagle shadow beast to pieces amidst its shrill screams.

The stairs appeared again, and Moonshadow Garuru climbed up with a calm expression.

Layer after layer, it wasn't long before Moon Shadow Garuru reached the tenth floor and easily defeated the opponent on this floor, a giant lion burning with flames.

When the stairs leading to the eleventh floor appeared, Moon Shadow Garuru did not continue to climb because its goal had been achieved.

After passing the tenth floor of the Moon Tower, Moonshade Garuru can choose a special reward from the Lunaksha Order.

Signing a contract with a member of the Fighting Spirit Clan is one of them!

"What?! Didn't I tell you that the most important thing for you right now is the Moon Washing Pool?! Why did you choose the Fighting Spirit Clan Contract?!!"
