Upon arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative, Tang Ping got out of the car and went straight to the director's office.
Hu Ze was quite surprised when he saw this: "Why are you back? Didn't they invite you to stay for dinner? That's so stingy!"
Tang Ping said, "My spiritual level is complete."
Hu Ze was stunned for a moment, then called Yuan Ji to come over immediately. He then explained, "It's best to advance to the Illusionary Realm, where the spiritual energy is abundant and the success rate is higher. It's not impossible in the mortal world, but it's usually only done as a last resort. Although our unit's location in the Illusionary Realm is relatively safe, it's still hard to guarantee that no monsters might happen to come over. Just in case, it's better to have Yuan Ji come over to protect us."
Tang Ping nodded, suppressing her eagerness.
A moment later, Yuan Ji rushed into the office and looked at Tang Ping: "You're getting promoted?"
"Ah."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go."
Hu Ze took out the Illusion-Breaking Stone, infused it with spiritual power, and the surrounding space distorted, pulling the three of them into the Realm of Illusion.
Yuan Ji, having just finished his training, shared his experience: "I've mentioned it to you before. The way to advance is very simple. As long as your spirit resonates and you keep elevating your spirit, all you need to do is focus, be extremely focused. Don't think about anything else. Eliminate all distractions. If all else fails, just keep repeating 'I want to advance.'"
Hu Zeyi used his spiritual energy to reassure her, "Don't be nervous, relax. The success rate of advancing from the first to the second stage is very high. The few cases of failure are due to external factors such as being attacked or being interfered with unexpectedly. It's rare for someone to have problems on their own."
"I understand, and I'm confident I can succeed."
Tang Ping could feel that countless people were supporting him, and he felt as if he had become a god, with believers bowing down to him and offering incense and prayers.
Even now, new incense offerings and prayers continue to pour in, giving the feeling that the Spirit Bomb is rapidly growing stronger. If the amount of the Spirit Bomb were assessed, it would probably be enough to defeat Vegeta.
This was not his imagination, because in the real world, the live broadcast recording of the interview had already been edited and uploaded to major video websites. Youxing Entertainment Company, which had promised to spend ten million to promote the game, did not break its promise and immediately asked the platform for promotion and hired online trolls to increase its popularity.
The hashtag "#TheInvisibleGuardianProducer: I Prefer Players to Sales" is rapidly climbing to the top of the trending topics list.
The edited video received over 10,000 comments in less than an hour after it was uploaded.
"Damn it, I've run into a game succubus, and a male one at that."
"If you're not a gamer, you won't understand what makes it so touching?"
"To put it another way, it means 'It's okay if we don't have money for a wedding, let's get married first and make up for it when we have money in the future.' Imagine which man wouldn't be moved by such a partner."
"Recently, many people have been praising 'Invisible Guardian' as a shining example of domestic games. I really want to refute that. This game wins by its storyline and has no gameplay itself. It doesn't deserve to be called a shining example of domestic games. If we take it as a benchmark, it will cause domestic game developers to take shortcuts, which would be a disaster for domestic games. After watching the interview video, my opinion on 'Invisible Guardian' remains unchanged. But I must say that although the game is not a shining example of domestic games, the producer is indeed a shining example of domestic game developers."
……
Yuan Ji guarded the outside, eliminating any monsters that might approach.
Tang Ping sat cross-legged on the ground, calming his mind and concentrating. A phantom of a fox appeared behind him, its body covered in fur, transforming into a beastman, as if he had entered a state of spiritual resonance.
Night had fallen, and a crescent moon hung in the night sky, casting its bright light to aid the evolution of the demon race.
As the soul ascends, an indescribable sense of exhilaration arises, making one feel as if they are floating on air.
Tang Ping felt like a seed buried in the ground, accumulating enough energy that if she pushed upwards, she could break through the mud, grow branches and leaves, and welcome the light.
As the spiritual resonance deepened, he felt as if he had become a fox spirit who had cultivated for many years, about to cross a threshold and gain the ability to transform into a human, thus shedding his low-level spirit identity.
In an instant, a brilliant light shone forth.
"Success!"
Hu Ze's face lit up with joy as he sensed the surge in spiritual energy.
When the light faded, upon closer inspection, one could see a breathtakingly handsome, otherworldly figure standing in the moonlight.
Her silver hair, as white as frost and snow, was casually spread out, with a few strands falling onto her fair, jade-like face, making her skin appear almost transparent and shimmering.
Its eyes are long and bright, like deep pools, hiding an unfathomable mystery. The corners of its eyes are slightly upturned, as if they hold endless stories and cunning. Upon closer inspection, however, they reveal the unique agility and innocence of a fox.

Chapter Sixty-Four: Two-Dimensional Transformation
"You got promoted?"
Sensing the change in spiritual energy, Yuan Ji walked back from the perimeter. Upon seeing Tang Ping in a state of spiritual resonance, he was taken aback. After examining her closely for a while, he said uncertainly, "Your appearance... is that Sesshomaru?"
Hu Ze slapped his forehead: "I knew it looked familiar, like I'd seen it somewhere before. It really is the image of Inuyasha's brother. I watched the Inuyasha anime when I was a kid and I really liked it. It's just that it's from a long time ago, and Sesshomaru doesn't appear often. If it were the main character, I would definitely recognize him at a glance."
Yuan Ji laughed and said, "Foxes belong to the canine family, which makes sense from a biological point of view."
"If the clothes don't fit, then change them."
Tang Ping activated his spiritual energy "Campfire Fox Cry," and his appearance changed again. His pupils turned golden, like shining gold or burning flames. His originally delicate silver-white hair became messy, shimmering faintly under the moonlight. Two shorter strands of hair appeared at his temples, naturally falling to his chest.
Her clothes had changed to a red fire rat fur coat, paired with a white shirt underneath, simple and clean, and she wore a pair of bright red belted lantern pants on her lower body.
"Inuyasha!"
Yuan Ji and Hu Ze were on guard for a moment, but then they realized what was going on. The latter said, "You scared me. It seems that your new spiritual power can change your appearance."
Tang Ping swallowed back her sarcastic remark about someone who was only superficially interested in something but was actually naive, and summarized two points from the reactions of the two people just now:
1. Even if it's a two-dimensional character, as long as the other person recognizes them, they can still mistake them for real people;
Second, even though you have witnessed his transformation and have plenty of evidence to disprove it, you will still believe he is the real deal the moment you see him.
It seems I can't use this psionic energy to attend the comic convention, or something terrible will happen.
"Have I become that similar?" Tang Ping asked pointedly.
Yuan Ji said, "Yes, it's just like him. His temperament and demeanor are exactly the same as the image I imagined. It's like Inuyasha really stepped out of the manga. Of course, you don't look like him now that you're speaking."
Tang Ping nodded slightly, adding a third point to her mind:
The person involved will not realize that their cognition has been forcibly distorted, and even if they just mistook someone for a two-dimensional character, they will not feel anything strange.
Yuan Ji, somewhat eager to try, asked, "Would you like to test my current abilities?"
"Forget it, I'm just transforming into Inuyasha's appearance, not actually becoming Inuyasha. I can't copy his fighting abilities as well. I'm still essentially a support character."
Tang Ping has no interest in fighting and killing; he sees himself as a strategist.
Yuan Ji, unwilling to give up, suggested, "You can use your psionic energy to copy my physical attributes. I've wanted to fight a two-dimensional character since I was a child. If it weren't for the fact that the difference in strength is too great and it wouldn't feel immersive, I would have even wanted you to transform into Vegeta."
Why Vegeta and not Kakarot?
Tang Ping initially wanted to refuse, but an idea popped into her mind, so she nodded in agreement and said, "Alright, let's have a friendly spar. Remember to go easy on me."
"Inuyasha would never say something like that, admitting defeat. Be serious, or I won't be able to relate to this."
Yuan Ji extended his hand while reminding him.
Tang Ping activated his spiritual energy, borrowing the tiger's might, and once again experienced the feeling of a powerful physique. However, compared to the first time, the improvement in his physical abilities was less significant this time, lacking the soaring feeling of a rocket launch, and he no longer felt invincible.
Next, he took out the Water Spirit Orb, infused it with spiritual power to transform it into a large, transparent, watery sword, and then activated the spiritual energy "Campfire Fox Cry," instantly transforming the transparent sword into the shape of Inuyasha's signature weapon, the Tessaiga.
Sure enough, clothes can be transformed, so there's no reason why weapons can't too. It's just that the appearance has to be similar; you can't turn a dagger into a halberd.
This confirmed another guess, and Tang Ping nodded in satisfaction.
Seeing how meticulously the other party had recreated the character's image, Yuan Ji was even more satisfied and immediately snorted coldly, "You half-demon, do you dare to fight me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she charged towards Tang Ping like an arrow released from a bow. The Azure Dragon Halberd flashed through the air, aiming straight for her opponent's throat.
Having gained combat intuition, Tang Ping easily predicted his opponent's attack trajectory. With a swift movement, he dodged the attack, brandishing the Tessaiga and shouting, "Wind Scar!"
With a surge of spiritual energy, a powerful current rushed towards Yuan Ji.
Yuan Ji was both surprised and delighted. He hadn't expected that the opponent could even replicate Inuyasha's moves. He hurriedly swung his Azure Dragon Halberd to block the blade of energy, but the enormous impact still forced him to take several steps back.
"Something capable!"
A hint of excitement flashed in Yuan Ji's eyes. He no longer held back and truly treated Tang Ping like Inuyasha. He wielded the Azure Dragon Halberd and launched a fierce attack on Tang Ping. Each strike was powerful and carried immense force. The sheer force of the attack was enough to leave cracks on the walls.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm still here!"
Hu Ze quickly hid in the distance; he wasn't a combat-type psychic either.
Tang Ping fully utilized his combat intuition and predictive abilities, relying on his superior flexibility to maneuver through the onslaught of attacks, constantly using the Tessaiga to block the slashes and looking for opportunities to counterattack.
Because of his personality, he trusted his battle intuition even more than his original master, Yuan Ji. Moreover, the bonfire fox cry allowed him to grasp the demeanor of the transformed object, which in battle meant mastering the fighting habits, and even making his style similar to Inuyasha's.
"Hahaha, that's it! This is the battle I've been waiting for!"
Yuan Ji let out a hearty laugh, revealing an extremely excited expression. His eyes seemed to burn with flames, and his face became increasingly ferocious.
"Come on! Come on! Why aren't you attacking? Is this all there is to being a half-demon?"
The Azure Dragon Halberd and the Tessaiga clashed repeatedly, but since the latter was not made of iron, no sparks were generated; otherwise, the clash would have been much more spectacular.
Hu Ze covered his face and sighed, "She really is a crazy girl. If you took a picture of her face now, all the boys would be scared away."
Tang Ping gradually felt the pressure. Even with the same physical qualities and fighting instincts, he was still firmly suppressed and fell into a disadvantageous position. His occasional counterattacks were easily blocked by his opponent.
"Show me your invincible spirit! No matter how skilled you are, you can't beat me without that spirit to challenge me!"
Yuan Ji suddenly spun the Azure Dragon Halberd, using the blade to entangle Tang Ping's Iron Fang, and then kicked it out with a powerful kick.
Intuition alerted Tang Ping, but her room to maneuver was sealed off, leaving her nowhere to dodge. She could only raise her arm to block, when she suddenly felt a powerful force surge towards her, causing half of her body to go numb, and she was sent flying.
After flying more than 20 meters, he did a somersault in mid-air and landed steadily with his extraordinary flexibility, leaving two long tracks on the ground.
"The Illusionary Realm of Halberds!"
Without pausing for breath, Yuan Ji leaped high into the air, his halberd gleaming brightly. A powerful spiritual force gathered at the tip of the halberd, and as he fell, he slammed it into the ground.
In an instant, blades of energy burst forth from the ground, rapidly extending towards Tangping.
What game character's ultimate move is this?!
Helpless, Tang Ping could only cover his left hand with the Water Spirit Pearl to form a sharp claw, and then gather spiritual power to swing it forward with all his might.
"Soul-Removing Iron Claw!"
Chapter Sixty-Five: Super-Fast Vegeta
The force of their collision sent sand and stones flying everywhere, and Tang Ping was once again thrown away.
This time, his whole body ached, and his limbs wouldn't cooperate. He couldn't use his cool landing technique and fell to the ground, rolling around several times in a sorry state before finally stopping.
He lifted his dusty face and complained, "You've just been promoted and you're already giving me a hard time. That's not very fair of you."
Yuan Ji sincerely offered his advice: "You can defeat my move just now with the Netherworld Crescent Moon Strike."
Tang Ping dispelled his illusion and said expressionlessly, "I won't."
The Wind Scar can be simulated using wood-type spiritual power, and the Netherworld Crescent Moon Break is a black crescent-shaped air blade that sends enemies to the underworld. Neither of these can be simulated by the current Tangping.
"Tsk, it's still the Inuyasha from the early days. It's an unfair victory."
Yuan Ji felt quite regretful and put away his weapon.
Seeing that the battle was over, Hu Ze came over and asked with concern, "How are you? Is there anything wrong with your body?"
Tang Ping said, "Aside from the pain from the fall, there are no other problems."
After observing for a while and confirming that the other party was not lying, Hu Ze sighed and said, "It seems that you have accumulated enough strength, and you still have energy left after the promotion. If it were a psionicist who barely made the promotion, they would be extremely tired and desperately want to rest."
Yuan Ji said, "Is that so? I don't think I felt anything when I advanced to the second stage."
Hu Ze said with a dark face, "You two are both capable, and I'm the only incompetent one, okay?"
Yuan Ji protested, "I didn't mean that. Don't always think of me in a negative light. I just fought hard and worked up a sweat. I feel great right now. Why would I be in the mood to mock others?"
"It was my own dark side that led me to think the worst of you. Should I apologize to you?"
"Then there's no need. You're already full of resentment, so nothing I say will make a difference. I suggest you think more about what to buy when you have money in the future. After all, you'll get a share of the profits from 'The Invisible Guardian,' which is legal income."
Upon hearing this, Hu Ze's expression brightened considerably, and he said earnestly, "What's with all this talk about money? Don't be so superficial. As a psychic, don't be too concerned about material conditions. Focus more on your cultivation; that's the foundation for survival. Think about those who suddenly become rich but then fall back into poverty after their land expropriation. Take heed of their mistakes."
Upon hearing this, Tang Ping secretly marveled at how impressive it was; not a single word of it was a lie.
"It's getting late, we should go back and rest."
