The total age of Wu Qi's spirit rings has increased to 100,000 years, so each of Wu Qi's spirit rings has turned blood red.

At the same time, his affinity for destruction reached 85%, allowing him to freely mobilize the divine power stored within his body.

Immediately afterwards, the voice of the God of Destruction echoed in his mind again: "Please choose a soul bone to transform into divine equipment."

Wu Qi chose to transform his head soul bone into divine equipment without any hesitation.

It's important to understand that the boost that divine equipment brings to a Soul Master far surpasses that of a 100,000-year-old Soul Bone.

Especially the head and torso.

It was the divine armor made from the sacrificed body of the Azure Phoenix that allowed him to safely reach the bottom of the spring during the trial at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

If his head soul bone also breaks through to the divine armor level, his mental power will not only undergo a qualitative change, but his head defense will also be enhanced. At that time, even a Limit Douluo's sneak attack might not be able to directly blow his head off.

As long as his head is still intact, he won't die.

The next moment, he felt a warm sensation on his forehead.

The 100,000-year-old soul bone obtained in the ruins was transformed into a divine helmet after being infused with divine power.

Once activated, it cannot be penetrated without divine power!
At the same time, Wu Qi's spiritual power underwent a qualitative change. With careful perception, he could sense every blade of grass and every tree in the city.

This feeling was quite mysterious; in fact, he could even implant his thoughts into the minds of Feng Xiaotian and the others with just a single thought.

At this moment, the great battle had just ended, and everyone needed to rest, so Wu Qi put away his thoughts of using his spiritual power.

However, they can rest, but City Lord Han Shizhong cannot.

Even though he had fought the entire battle, he now had to carry out his task, despite his exhaustion, to organize the city's residents to clean up the battlefield, rebuild houses, and maintain order in the city after the war, so as to prevent bandits from taking advantage of the chaos.

……

The next morning.

Wu Qi, who had rested overnight, opened his eyes.

He didn't know when, but a cotton quilt was covered on his body, and a mattress was laid on the ground beneath him.

He sat up and noticed the people guarding him.

"My benefactor, you're awake."

Upon seeing him awake, the townspeople warmly offered him eggs and various foods they had saved up, wanting to repay his life-saving grace.

Wu Qi leaped into the air and quickly declined, saying, "I appreciate everyone's kindness."

"Eliminating the wolf bandits and maintaining peace in this region is the duty of our Spirit Hall."

"Thanks to His Majesty's appreciation and the Spirit Hall's trust, I am here to lead the team to resolve this crisis."

"If saving lives is based on demanding something in return, how are we any different from wolf bandits?"

"The city has been affected by the war and needs to be rebuilt. Everyone should keep the food for themselves. Only when you are well-fed will you have the strength to rebuild your homes."

After speaking, Wu Qi did not linger and flew to the city lord's mansion.

At this moment, Qian Gu Chang Kong and the others had finished resting and were all full of energy.

Inside the city lord's palace.

Han Shizhong didn't sleep all night, he was busy sorting out the situation in the city.

At this moment, he reported to Wu Qi and others: "Lord Wu, 60% of the soldiers have been killed in action, and the militia left on the city wall have been almost completely wiped out."

The soldiers, clad in armor and armed with standard weapons, were far more capable of self-defense than the militia. This explains the absurdly high casualty ratio.

With a somber expression, Wu Qi handed over the pension and the promised funds for the city to Han Shizhong.

"Lord Han, you are a good lord who serves the country and its people. I will report your actions to His Majesty truthfully." "By the way, where is the wolf bandit's body now?"

Wolf bandits are essentially soul beasts; killing them will yield soul rings and soul bones.

Yesterday, when the commoners emerged from their basements, many spirit rings were still floating on the streets, creating a truly spectacular scene.

Since they are soul beasts, even if the probability of them dropping soul bones is low, killing so many wolf bandits in one go will eventually result in some dropping.

Han Shizhong understood Wu Qi's thoughts. Without hesitation or reservation, he ordered someone to bring a cloth bag.

He had ordered his men to dispose of the wolf bandits' bodies overnight; they were currently piled up outside the city, and once enough firewood was collected, they would be burned all at once.

However, before that, he had already ordered people to collect the soul bones.

It should be noted that ordinary people in the city do not have soul tools. Even if they wanted to hide soul bones, they could be found by the soul power fluctuations emitted by the soul bones.

Therefore, this bag contains all the collected soul bones.

There are only ten pieces, but their ages vary.

There are soul bones that are hundreds of years old, thousands of years old, and even tens of thousands of years old, but they are all from the limbs.

The soul bones dropped by the wolf bandits mostly provided berserk soul skills, so Wu Qi and his group had little interest in them.

"You gentlemen have done so much for Xibei City, providing compensation and funding for urban development. I have no reason to keep these soul bones to myself. Please take them all with you."

As a Soul Master, Han Shizhong was naturally aware of the function of Soul Bones.

However, Xibei City has just experienced a major battle, and its defenses are weak. If news spreads that there is a soul bone in the city, everyone in the city will inevitably face another catastrophe.

Whether Wu Qi and the others wanted it or not, they had to take all of these soul bones with them.

……

To avoid the enthusiastic crowd continuing to feed them, Wu Qi and his group did not linger in Xibei City.

After taking the soul bone, they left the city.

In a secluded corner on the outskirts of the city, Feng Xiaotian and his companions said their goodbyes.

"Captain, the results of our next assessment have been released. I need to lead everyone to the training location, so I won't be traveling with you."

On the battlefield, Ning Rongrong's performance was the most outstanding.

However, she didn't give Wu Qi a chance to praise her, "Brother Wu Qi, we're leaving now. Take care of yourselves. We'll meet again at the academy after the assessment is over."

After saying that, she didn't turn around, afraid that Wu Qi would notice the tears welling up in her eyes.

Wu Qi waved to her retreating figure and said loudly, "Okay, Rongrong, we'll go back."

Feng Xiaotian and the other two cupped their hands in greeting, caught up with Ning Rongrong, and left together.

With his hands behind his head and a relaxed expression, Qian Gu Chang Kong said, "Brother Wu, since the next assessment hasn't been released yet, shall we find a place to relax?"

Wu Qi glanced at him, ignoring him, and then turned his gaze to Chen Ping: "Chen Ping, I'm afraid you'll have to make the trip alone. I have a feeling that our next assessment will take us far from the teleportation point in the Land of Poison."

“Go back to the Land of Poisons, give the Heart of the Sea God to Hunter, and then wait for us in Wuhun City.”

"If Bibi Dong forces you to carry out a mission, don't refuse, just secretly cause some damage."

"At most a year, Changkong and I will go back."

Chen Ping's assessment has been completed and he has not received any new assessments. Following behind the two of them will only result in him taking unnecessary risks.

Furthermore, he is not an "elder" of the Spirit Hall, and if he does not return for a long time, Bibi Dong will inevitably make trouble for him.

But this is only temporary. Once Wu Qi takes power, he will no longer be subject to Bibi Dong's control. (End of Chapter)
