Broken Star: As long as you can take the top spot in the Celestial Ladder Ranking, you can bring quite a strong honor boost to Chenghai Second Middle School. The school has to reward you with some gold coins, otherwise they’ll be criticized.

Divine Monarch: By the way, why haven’t I heard of the Celestial Ladder Arena in school before? Not many people seem to be aware of it.

Broken Star: Because most can’t make it. At our school, few Spiritualists reach Level 10 before graduation, let alone having enough talent potential to be chosen by the Spirit Realm for the Ladder Ranking.

Broken Star: In most cases, even if our school’s students make it through, they only go through the motions and get eliminated in the first round. With such results, the school doesn’t want to promote it, and it’s the same with the neighboring First Middle School.

Broken Star: Over time, high schools in our city stopped promoting it, so less people know about the Celestial Ladder Arena.

Divine Monarch: Got it. Since you mentioned the first point, there must be a second one, right? Are there other ways to quickly acquire resources?

Broken Star: There are, there are.

Broken Star: Do you know where Attribute Enhancement Items come from?

Divine Monarch: Level 10 Stuck Level Spiritualists?

Broken Star: Smart. Level 10 Stuck Level Spiritualists generally won’t use Attribute Enhancement Items to max out their Basic Attributes.

Broken Star: Because for them, the benefits are just too low. When attribute enhancement approaches the "Body Basic Potential" limit, the effect of the enhancement items becomes negligible. It’s really a loss to spend a lot of resources without fully maxing out.

Broken Star: In this case, it’s better to sell the Attribute Enhancement Items and explore the Spirit Realm. Use the Spirit Realm’s attribute points to increase the Basic Attributes to the Body Basic Potential limit, and the excess resource gains can also be sold.

Divine Monarch: I understand the logic, but how do we actually get things from them?

Broken Star: Simple, you just sell the challenge or duel qualification for being at the top of the Celestial Ladder. Naturally, people will want to challenge you early, and if you’re lucky, you could earn a lot.

Divine Monarch: Thanks.

Broken Star: Just a thank you?

...

Ye Mingqiu glanced at the girl next to him. She casually turned her head, her eyes showing a hint of playfulness, seemingly curious about what he planned to do and how to thank him.

He quickly leaned in, pulling close in Tang Ruobing’s puzzled and surprised gaze, then gently kissed her forehead.

The touch on her forehead made her briefly dumbfounded, followed by an indescribable feeling that surged from her heart. She only felt her heartbeat speed up to the extreme, and her face grew increasingly hot, looking like a steam girl.

Tang Ruobing lowered her head to type.

Broken Star: Is that how you thank me?

Divine Monarch: Isn’t that enough?

Broken Star: !!!

Broken Star: This is the Celestial Ladder Arena, and there are other people here! If someone takes a photo, I might get into trouble when I go home!

Broken Star has retracted a message.

Divine Monarch: Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to rescue you from that old man at your home.

Broken Star: 666.

Broken Star: Remember to turn on ghost fire when rescuing me.

Qing Yu sat silently on the side. From the moment these two glanced down and joined hands, he realized they were secretly chatting via typing. As a top-tier Spiritualist, it’s impossible not to notice such things.

He politely remained silent, not interrupting. He guessed the two were talking about private topics and would look up and chat normally afterward.

But Qing Yu guessed wrong.

The two interacted and affectionately touched under his watchful gaze, feeding him quite a bite of dog food, making his stomach feel full.

Oh!

Time to make an exit!

And just as he was about to leave, a young man with disheveled hair in a black Magic Robe walked out from the rest area, heading directly towards them.

Who is this guy...?

Lu headed towards Ye Mingqiu but stopped halfway, looking at the two holding hands intimately. A thought suddenly popped into his mind: Perhaps I came at the wrong time.

Subsequently, Qing Yu stood up, approached the somewhat awkward Lu, and said with a smile, "Friend, seems like you know them? Mind introducing yourself?"

"Lu."

"So, it’s you."

Qing Yu nodded knowingly, smiled, and whispered lightly, "It’s a bit awkward here. Let’s chat over there... By the way, how did you join the God-Hunting Group?"

Lu’s strength isn’t weak. Being able to join the Celestial Ladder Arena means there’s no weakling, but compared to these monsters, Lu’s strength is slightly lacking.

Aside from him, the Hunting Group members are all legendary. Tang Ruobing appears to be a Hero but actually has legendary combat power with strong overall strength.

"I used a Team Formation Card to exchange for a spot."

Lu walked while honestly answering.

As a rational Mage, he felt no need to hide such things or lie for superficial dignity.

After all, strength is evident; strong or weak, qualification is clear at a glance.

"I see."

Qing Yu nodded in relief, smiled, and said, "A Team Formation Card to buy a circle ticket, and enjoying this level of team buffs, you’ve made a great deal."

"Yeah."

"By the way, since you joined the God-Hunting Group early on, do you have any interesting stories to share?"

"A little bit."

....

Soon after, Ye Mingqiu set up a sign for "challenge/duel qualification trading" in the arena while reading a book and waiting for customers.
