Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

The next instant, the world turned upside down.

Zuo Chang and his two companions emerged from the dimly lit underground cave and suddenly appeared on a high slope.

As the blinding sunlight fell, Mayumi instinctively squinted and saw the shimmering, golden tree beside her—

The Tree of Heavenly Way.

Mayumi turned her head again and looked at Zuo Chang, who had his hands in his pockets: "Father, is this the end?"

Zuo Chang remained calm: "It's over."

"...So boring. I heard that Whispering Forest is a highly competitive game, but I haven't done much of a game from beginning to end."

Moreover, the stone slab is so cold and hard that my back aches when I sleep on it.

Mayumi, supporting her lower back, muttered something under her breath.

For the past twelve hours, there has been no fighting in the underground cavern. With the floodwaters rising, all the players are struggling to protect themselves; they must do everything they can to safeguard the saplings, so they have no time to bother others.

Zuo Chang laughed and said, "Although it's boring, the benefits are enormous—look at Bai Lin."

"What's up with him?"

Mayumi looked at Shirarin but didn't see anything unusual.

Bai Lin remained impassive, releasing the power he had been deliberately suppressing:

Twelve Realms!

"?!"

Mayumi sensed the powerful fluctuations of magical energy. Her eyes widened in disbelief: "This is... the pressure of someone at the seventh realm or higher?!"

Zuo Chang did not offer much explanation.

As Asuka's daughter, Mayumi is undoubtedly familiar with the "community rules." As long as the crests are in place and there's enough fodder, Zuo Chang can quickly build up his fighting force with the help of the Whispering Forest.

Even if a direct conflict were to break out with the Divine Sound Society right now, they wouldn't be completely helpless.

His foundation has been further solidified!

[Winners, please collect your rewards.]

Three points of emerald green light descended upon the three people present.

By embracing the green light before you, you can instantly master all the skills under the "Whisper School," and all the skill levels will be maxed out.

Bai Lin reached out, trying to grasp the green light—

The moment his palms closed, the green light inexplicably went out, and a notification appeared before his eyes:

The forest rejects you.

Zuo Chang looked at it and said, "The Asura Path restricts you. It seems that those who are bloodthirsty are not welcomed by the forest."

"..."

Bai Lin closed her eyes: "I didn't want it in the first place."

the other side.

Mayumi and Zuo Chang simultaneously reached out and grasped the green light—

[You have mastered the Secret Language school and become the Lord of the Forest.]

The same prompt appeared before them at the same time.

Chapter 170 Let's get a card, there are discounts available now.

Mayumi and Zuo Chang both became Lords of the Forest. Who is the true master of the Whispering Forest?

According to the laws established by the gods: they are both.

No one has ever said that a "domain" can only have one owner. Zhen Gong and Zuo Chang have equal ownership and usage rights, unless one of them loses all their cultivation or dies.

There are three skills under the "Whispering Style".

The first is the core skill of the entire school, "Whispering Forest". After use, it can grab people within a certain range and force them into the Whispering Forest.

The second is the passive skill "Lord of the Forest". Adventurers who possess the Lord of the Forest can absorb the natural energy of the forest to heal themselves.

The third is the active skill "Nature Guardian". This skill is not very special; it simply summons an ancient tree guardian to assist in battle.

What's rather special is—

The Ancient Tree Guardian will inherit the adventurer's stats and copy all passive abilities.

The Ancient Guardian summoned by True Bow is obviously not very strong.

Her wind magic, which she excels at, cannot be copied by the guards. As for her melee combat ability, it can only be said that she is slightly stronger than an ordinary sixth-realm cultivator, and cannot be considered formidable.

He looked at the delicate veins on each leaf, remaining silent.

If it's Zuo Chang, then there's something to say about it.

Sun Liancheng's muscles were taut!

He instinctively thought Zuo Chang was going to harm him, and inwardly lamented his carelessness. Just as he was about to assume a defensive stance, he suddenly realized something was amiss—

The butler replied, "It's a small group, and they recently got a new leader."

He suddenly realized that the image of the Heavenly King General in his memory was somewhat blurry.

Sun Liancheng said expressionlessly, "I'm a businessman, and I value efficiency. Kid, I'll give you one minute to prove what you've got! I want to know what abilities you have that allow you to elevate someone to the eighth realm in 96511!"

Zuo Chang stood with his hands tucked in his pockets, his face calm and composed.

The butler said, "The guild leader said he has a unique method that can help someone level up to the eighth realm. If you're willing to pay a small fee, you can enjoy this service."

He really didn't know what the general was like when he was thinking: "General Tianwang... is rather mysterious. I've spent more time face-to-face with him these past few days than in the past few years. Perhaps only Chief Rose is truly familiar with him."

Zuo Chang nodded: "Yes, that's me."

Zuo Chang could have first cast a "Decisive Weapon" on himself, and then summon the guards after all his attributes had skyrocketed.

Bai Lin thought about it carefully.

Sun Liancheng glanced at the butler: "Azure Beast? Do we have such a group in Mailbox City?"

There was no way around it; the house was too big. If the butler hadn't led the way, Zuo Chang would definitely have gotten lost.

"Since it's a small group, why should I meet them?"

Sun Liancheng sat in the armchair and glanced at the three people in front of him.

The ancient tree guardian summoned using this method...

The biggest reward of this game was breaking through the level cap in the Whispering Forest.

“Yes, this is the Forest of Whispers.” Zuo Chang smiled slightly. “Patriarch Sun, please turn around.”

The steward went to report, and a full quarter of an hour later, he brought Zuo Chang, Zhen Gong, and Bai Lin to Sun Liancheng.

……

Zuo Chang activated his skill, bringing everyone in the study into the Whispering Forest.

Sun Liancheng stopped lifting weights and turned to look at us, his gaze sharp as lightning.

The bigwigs in Mailbox City inquired from various sources, but did not get the answer they wanted.

That woman in the black dress... how could she be so beautiful?

"Yes."

To advance to the eighth realm, one must travel to the upper realm via the "Well of Travel." There are only three Wells of Travel in the entire 96511, and each time an adventurer is sent in or out, a large number of "points" are consumed!

That's not a problem that money can solve.

To put it conservatively, in this area of ​​96511, defeating ten top adventurers shouldn't be difficult.

He turned his head and simply said, "Let's go out first."

You know the patrol horse of the Chief Adventurer's Team, right?

……

Zuo Chang continued, “This is the Tree of Heavenly Dao. The land it covers is equivalent to the land of a four-digit community. Patriarch Sun, this is what I meant by ‘unique method.’ I think you should realize that you are now at the eighth realm.”

Patriarch Sun looked up at Zuo Chang and asked in surprise, "This is... a domain technique, isn't it?"

A verdant fragrance wafted in along with a refreshing breeze.

"Sir, several young men are requesting an audience. They claim to be from the 'Azure Beast' adventurer group."

As the organizers of the game, the book club should announce who the winner is, but they haven't done so yet;

The victors did not publicly proclaim their victory; they seemed to be very low-key.

of course.

Sun Liancheng relaxed and turned his head away.

Zuo Chang laughed and said, "Actually, it's not just eight realms; the highest can be twelve. I only said eight realms because I was worried you couldn't afford it."

Eight Realms.

Sun Liancheng is not talented; he is currently at the eighth realm.

"You don't know? Aren't you one of my father's former subordinates?"

If Zuo Chang had gone even further, not only would he have empowered himself with a decisive weapon, but he would have also used "Nine Netherworld Removal" in advance, making the invincible ancient tree guardian even more immortal for five minutes!

The intensity is unpredictable.

Take another look.

The Whispering Forest ended yesterday.

"..."

But it's strange.

In the study room.

He looked at the leader and casually asked, "Are you the leader of the Azure Beasts?"
