Divine Monarch: Sounds impressive. Compared to Dominators of the same Level, which is stronger?

Broken Star: Not sure. Normally, Dominators of the same Level are stronger, but they don’t belong to normal circumstances. They broke through after solidifying their foundation at a Stuck Level, so their strength is different from normal Legendary Level Spiritualists, and they might be stronger than Dominators of the same Level.

Divine Monarch: So the foundation you’re talking about, what does it usually refer to? Does it greatly affect the breakthrough? I think I can prepare in advance.

Broken Star: It’s a series of basic things like body basic potential, soul potential, basic resistance, basic attributes, and so on. The stronger the foundation, the stronger the power after advancing, and it might even trigger a Profession advancement.

Broken Star: After Tier Two, the lowest Level for combat professions is Elite. Except for those with special advancements, there are no Spiritualists below Elite.

Divine Monarch: So, is it possible that Legendary Profession isn’t the endpoint for Spiritualists?

Broken Star: I don’t know.

Broken Star: Rest assured, I won’t advance to Tier Two in the short term because my Professional Level is too low. I must solidify my foundation to break through Profession strength and subsequently gain a stronger Profession.

Divine Monarch: Hmm.

Tang Ruobing’s Profession is Hero Level. Hero Level Mages are indeed strong, but compared to her current power, they’re still too weak. With the power she has intercepted from the Ancient Divine Realm, even ordinary Legendary Level Spiritualists are no match for her.

However, she’s not at her limit. Only by pushing her foundation to its limits with the power of the Ancient Divine Realm will she choose to advance to Tier Two.

The Legendary Profession is what she is determined to achieve.

Divine Monarch: So, about this Ladder Ranking, how do we climb it? How do we strive for a higher ranking?

Broken Star: Actively apply to the Spirit Realm. If the Spirit Realm’s Will approves, you can enter the Ladder Ranking competition. Conversely, if the Spirit Realm declines, you won’t qualify for the Ladder Ranking.

Broken Star: Also, if your strength is strong enough, the Spirit Realm will actively invite you to join the next ranking competition. The interval between each ranking competition is three months. The next ranking time is approaching, so get ready.

Divine Monarch: Alright.

[Hint: Application approved. The next Ladder Ranking competition will begin in four days.]

Morning

Exclusive Training Room

After returning to the training room, Ye Mingqiu felt quite relaxed. A sense of fatigue made him instinctively stretch his body, then he yawned, feeling an urge to just lie down and take a nap.

The three of them had gone to the Little Spirit Realm at night with Zheng Xuejun. Although only one night had passed in the real world, they actually struggled and fought in the Little Spirit Realm for three days, which drained their spirits and required time for rest and recovery.

No one was at Ye Mingqiu’s house now, so going back to sleep was pointless. It was better to rest directly in the exclusive training room, since waking up there meant he could immediately start studying, saving time on commuting.

What he didn’t expect was that Tang Ruobing followed him back to the training room as well.

"Hmm~"

Tang Ruobing lazily stretched, revealing the curves beneath her magic robe, and the usual cold and aloof expression she maintained outside had long vanished. Her lazy and tired look resembled that of a gentle kitten.

She looked at Ye Mingqiu and asked, "Do you have a bed? I don’t want to sleep on the sofa."

"Yes."

Ye Mingqiu took a large bed out of the storage space and placed it in the resting area.

Tang Ruobing naturally put away her magic robe, changed into loose pink plush pajamas, hugged a stuffed animal, and stepped into slippers, looking like she was at home.

"Did you buy this whole set?"

Ye Mingqiu asked.

"...."

Tang Ruobing was briefly silent and gave Ye Mingqiu a cold glance, saying, "No."

Then, she took out a quilt, laid it down, and used a Telekinesis Skill to lock the training room door, adding, "It wouldn’t be good for outsiders to see me in my pajamas, so don’t mind it."

"Oh."

Ye Mingqiu looked at the locked door, then at the girl on the bed, walked over, and simply asked, "Can we share half the space?"

"Of course, it’s your bed."

Tang Ruobing lay on her side on the bed, hugging a pillow and closing her eyes, saying, "Anyway, we often rested together in the resting area over there. This time, we just changed places, it’s no big deal."

"True."

...

Ye Mingqiu lay on the bed, feeling relaxed and a bit strange at the same time.

From the moment he saw Tang Ruobing hugging the pillow, he knew what might happen next; this was not a random accident but an obvious bait.

Those willing will take the bait.

As a healthy young man, he found it hard to refuse such an invitation.

However, Tang Ruobing was quite mindful, and after their exploration of the Little Spirit Realm, they were both not in the best spirits. She didn’t do anything overly outrageous.

It was just simply a nap. It was just that the pillow happened to fall to the ground. It was just that she happened to be confused in her sleep, unable to distinguish her surroundings. It was just that she happened to grab something and just happened to fall asleep holding it and sleep well.

...

A few hours later, afternoon

Ye Mingqiu slowly opened his eyes and felt something heavy and soft on his arm. On closer inspection, it turned out to be Tang Ruobing’s pillow.

He smiled and didn’t say much, simply placing the pillow aside, sitting up, stretching to refresh his spirit, preparing to enter the upcoming study with renewed vigor.
