Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 204 The Divine Dog Squad Surrounded by Ghost Soldiers
Therefore, for Spirit Master users, increasing their Spirituality is a manifestation of their training level.

Of course, the higher the base spiritual value, the more obvious the improvement brought by training will be.

According to Xue Zhengying, a mature Spirit Master player's main scroll can achieve a 100% increase in spirituality, which is considered a qualified level of training.

A doubling of spiritual value significantly boosts the scroll's combat power.

This is also the biggest problem they will face when they participate in the Gold League.

After all, the players from veteran clubs have higher skill levels than the veterans.

Training level requires a significant investment of time and effort.

Just like those expert players in League of Legends in the past, even heroes with outdated stats could shine and dominate in the hands of these expert players.

The jinchūriki of a certain hero.

That's all due to the hero proficiency honed through thousands of games and the ultimate understanding of that hero.

Other players cannot copy this.

Although the more compatible the scroll is with oneself, the easier it is to improve one's skill level, it still requires a lot of time and energy to hone and comprehend it.

This is also the biggest weakness of players in emerging clubs.

Now that we know that outposts in the same domain can accelerate training progress to some extent, it is definitely a good thing for the future development of the Underworld Club.

As for Wu Xian himself.

Scroll artists generally don't pay much attention to things like character level, since they don't have that much time and energy.

At most, they can only focus on honing a few commonly used and handy high-level scrolls. In terms of skill level, they definitely can't compare to those scroll-obsessed fans and true enthusiasts.

The advantages of scroll painters lie in other areas.

Following Zhang Zihao and others into the outpost, they used the divine diagram to recruit a large number of ghost soldiers and demons.

They then headed towards Taozhi Mountain.

Nowadays, Xue Zhengying is basically stationed at the outpost, guarding and protecting the entire outpost.

"Second Brother, is the situation at the outpost stable lately?" Wu Xian asked.

"Everything is fine," Xue Zhengying joked. "The monsters around here are all far away, and ordinary little devils don't dare to get close at all. Moreover, because the outpost is located in a relatively remote area, there is no competition or harassment from other clubs."

To be honest, I've been quite bored guarding this place these past few days.

“That being said, we still need to take it seriously,” Wu Xian nodded and smiled, “After all, it’s our club’s first outpost.”

Xue Zhengying nodded knowingly, "These days I've seen quite a few spirit masters sneaking over to investigate. They're probably members of some club outposts nearby. With you around day and night, we have everything under control."

Wu Xian nodded and smiled, then asked, "How is the Zhong Kui master? How does Second Brother find it?"

"Your masterpiece is naturally excellent," Xue Zhengying teased, as a burly man riding a fierce tiger with a hideous face appeared beside him. "Look~ it's already reached six stars. As for the soul resonance, you know what I mean~!"

Xue Zhengying truly lived up to his reputation as a born "Taoist Saint Body." The moment he received the [Judge of the Punishment Department - Zhong Kui], his soul resonated with it on the spot.

Although it's only the Silver Axis Zhong Kui at the moment, its aura and prestige are already quite terrifying.

"Speaking of which, does soul resonance provide any benefit to cultivation level?" Wu Xian asked.

“It does have a certain promoting effect,” Xue Zhengying said, “but Soul Resonance mainly unlocks the upper limit of the scroll. Compared to training level, the improvement is more direct.”

At this moment, Xue Zhengying seemed to realize something.

"Hmm~ It seems like someone's approaching. They don't seem to have any good intentions!"

Wu Xian immediately became alert, "How many people? Where do they come from?"

“A team of five club experts, whose spiritual power cultivation is basically at level six or seven.” Xue Zhengying said through the reconnaissance vision of the Day and Night Wanderer, “Although they deliberately took off their club uniforms, the group of dog-like golden scrolls next to them has already exposed their identities.”

"People from the Super Dog Club?" Wu Xian asked in surprise.

Xue Zhengying shrugged and smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

To be honest, the Wang family really holds grudges like dogs, they're like lingering ghosts. They've barely established their interdimensional outpost and they're already getting restless.

As Wu Xian and Xue Zhengying exchanged glances, their playful nature was aroused.

"Only five people? They really don't take my Underworld Club seriously at all." Xue Zhengying smiled.

Although the five-person team was clearly the main members of the Divine Dog Club, they were no match for the current Underworld Outpost.

To put it bluntly, even if the head of the Wang family came in person, they wouldn't be intimidated.

……

Not far from the outpost of the underworld.

The sneaky members of the Super Dog Club were unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

"Damn it, the president is really something. He made us come all this way just to target a small club? What's the point?"

The leader was a man in his thirties with an air of arrogance, riding a Snow Mastiff, the same model as the guild leader.

“Brother Wang, you may not know this,” a team member next to him reminded him, “The president and a few brothers suffered quite a few losses at the hands of the Underworld Club before, so don’t underestimate them just because they’re a small club. They’re still quite strong.”

Upon hearing this, Captain Wang scoffed, "What kind of strength could a small, newly established club in such a desolate place possibly have?"

“That’s right. If it weren’t for that old bastard Cui Wenxuan’s intervention, the guild leader would have wiped them all out long ago.” The teammate next to him was speechless.

"Cui Wenxuan?" Captain Wang asked in surprise, "That old man hasn't retired yet?"

"No, I'm currently retired at the Yaoyang City Association."

Captain Wang smiled knowingly, "Alright, that lousy outpost should be just ahead. Let's finish this quickly."

In their view, a newly established interdimensional outpost of a new club could not possibly be very strong.

Putting everything else aside, with the pitifully small number of people at the Underworld Club, it's questionable whether they can even hold the outpost.

"Holy crap, don't tell me that's the Underworld Club's outpost?"

Soon after, looking at the magnificent terrain and outline in front of them, the group was secretly shocked.

“Impossible,” Captain Wang said with a strange expression. “It should be an alien terrain and feature that originally existed here.”

Just kidding, even the otherworldly realm of the Necropolis isn't this magnificent.

How could a small club possibly be like that?

"It's strange, there seem to be fewer monsters around here. Is it because it's too remote?"

As they were talking, their golden scroll dogs seemed to sense something, barking a few times and looking around warily.

"No...what...what is that?!"

Soon, the group was stunned by the howling wind and overwhelming yin energy all around them.

At first, they thought it was some kind of powerful monster, but as the cold wind rolled in, they finally saw the situation clearly.

Those were thousands upon thousands of monsters clad in armor and wielding swords, spears, and halberds. Each monster exuded the aura of an elite or commander-level being, with their levels fluctuating by more than ten levels. However, compared to the monsters in my memory, they had less of an eerie aura and more of a peculiar flavor.

Most importantly, the thousands upon thousands of monsters, like an army, marched in orderly formation, surrounding them from all sides.

"Damn it, could it be that I accidentally stumbled into the territory of some powerful figure from another world?"

"Then...should we still fight?"

"What's the point of fighting? Let's figure out a way to break through and escape," Captain Wang said with a grim face. "With so many monsters, we could be worn down to death just by fighting them!"

However, just as they were preparing to break through the weak point of the encirclement.

Two young figures appeared above the strange army.

Immediately afterwards, a giant golden divine dog descended from the sky, instantly scattering their ranks.
