Li Mozhan's Illusion Realm.

“Before we start, let's settle the important matter first...”

Lu Ze quickly waved his hand, looking at Li Mozhan, the battle maniac who was holding a longsword and eager to fight.

“?”

Li Mozhan frowned in confusion.

“It's about... the skin.”

Lu Ze reminded her.

Li Mozhan was puzzled: “Didn't you say... it was a swimsuit?”

After Lu Ze won against Li Mozhan in their sparring match that day, he made a request: to have her endorse a skin for an Illusion Realm character.

He had made the same request to Zhou Yue, Zhong Yi, and others.

The character Zhou Qiaoling endorsed was Hu Tao, and the skin was a popular swimsuit skin from his previous life.

Although Tianxuan Continent didn't have the concept of swimsuits, the classic school swimsuit combined with a sheer gymnastics leotard design looked quite novel.

Zhou Qiaoling happily agreed when she heard Lu Ze would give her a set for free.

Li Mozhan also nodded in agreement after seeing the skin sample.

After all, Hu Tao's swimsuit, aside from its novel style, didn't seem to have any other issues.

At most, that innocent and lively aura felt a bit out of place for her.

Seeing Lu Ze's hesitant expression, Li Mozhan was very confused.

What's wrong with the swimsuit?

Is there anything that can't be seen?

Lu Ze nodded: “It is a swimsuit.”

“Then that's fine.”

“Then that's fine...”

Lu Ze chuckled and snapped his fingers.

Li Mozhan's classic plain training clothes instantly transformed into Gu Qinghan's swimsuit.

Although it was also a swimsuit series like Hu Tao's, but...

The latter was a pure high school girl's school swimsuit,

while the former was an incredibly revealing bikini.

Li Mozhan was instantly stunned.

To her, this halter-neck one-piece swimsuit was no different from wearing only two incredibly flimsy strips of cloth...

“Hoo...”

Li Mozhan took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling rapidly.

In this situation, if it were any other woman, like Zhou Qiaoling, she would surely hug her shoulders to cover everything on her body.

But a female War God is a female War God.

Li Mozhan picked up her longsword, and with two “swish swish” sounds, two Sword Qi slashes went towards Lu Ze.

The most infuriating thing was that they were all instantly deflected back by his conditioned reflex.

“Lu... Ze!!”

Li Mozhan's lips trembled as she squeezed Lu Ze's name through clenched teeth.

Even across the network, Lu Ze could feel the strong Killing Intent.

“Ahem, you agreed to the same series...”

Lu Ze's face was red and his heart was pounding as he argued. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

“Change it.”

Li Mozhan coldly flicked the longsword in her hand.

At this moment, she only wished this wasn't a longsword from the Illusion Realm!

“I can't change it...”

Before Lu Ze could finish speaking, the female Killing God opposite him put away her longsword: “Then wait for me at Lingyu Pavilion.”

Lu Ze broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing that.

This was going to be a real-life confrontation!

“Even if I can't change it, I have to!”

Lu Ze quickly changed his words.

With that, he waved his palm again.

Streams of ice Qi swirled around Li Mozhan's body, like a gauze dress;

light blue water orchids wound their way up the ice Qi, forming exquisite patterns and ornaments.

In an instant, the bikini on Li Mozhan's body transformed into another skin, 【Fragrant Snow Water Orchid】.

With the bikini as a precedent, Li Mozhan looked down at her current skin and was clearly much more satisfied.

“This is a skin I originally planned to release next year, but to accommodate your feelings, I was forced to release it early!”

Lu Ze feigned an expression of profound sorrow.

“...”

Li Mozhan was a little speechless.

She knew Lu Ze too well.

“You, if you have any requests, just speak them.”

“It's not really a request...”

Lu Ze, whose intentions were seen through, began to explain his plan without blushing or a racing heart.

The highlight of this batch of skins was Gu Qinghan's red skin 【Fragrant Snow Water Orchid】 and the longsword's red skin 【Ice Soul】.

Both perfectly matched Li Mozhan's image.

Lu Ze had decided he wanted the other party to help him promote them.

In his plan, a martial arts tournament would be held when the skins went online.

Top experts from various servers would be invited to participate in one-on-one sword-fighting duels.

Then he would log in with his Bai Mu alt account and encounter Li Mozhan.

Li Mozhan would be suppressed by him in the early stages, then after switching to the new skin and longsword, she would suddenly launch a desperate counterattack!

Finally, she would beautifully win the championship, and he had already drawn the championship artwork in advance.

Perfect!

Seamless!

Top-tier soft marketing!

But Lu Ze also knew Li Mozhan.

This person only wanted to genuinely defeat him and would certainly despise such a deliberate act of going easy.

To make the other party compromise, Lu Ze had intentionally made a swimsuit skin first to mislead her, and then he would properly negotiate...

“Hmph, your calculations are quite good.”

Li Mozhan snorted coldly, then the corners of her mouth slightly curved upwards, revealing a rare smile.

“Since you want to promote the skins so much, I have an even better idea.”

“I'd like to hear the details.”

“Let's customize a real-life outfit, and we can spar on Juexiang Cliff... When I wear this gauze dress and wield this longsword to defeat you, the scene will definitely be even more shocking.”

“...Senior Sister, spare my life.”

...

...

Limitless Sword Sect.

Illusion Sword Peak.

Du Cheng exited the Illusion Realm and opened his eyes, incredibly excited.

“Elder Jiang, Elder Jiang! It worked, this formation really works!!!”

Hearing Du Cheng's shout.

Jiang Lingfeng, who was meditating in the main hall, instantly appeared beside Du Cheng.

Their “cheating” method was very simple.

The Illusion Realm was maintained by the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Qi permeating the world.

Jiang Lingfeng created a highly energy-consuming formation, which had two functions:

First, to temporarily cut off the connection between the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Qi and the outside world;

Second, to actively transmit Spiritual Qi containing false information.

This way, people entering the Illusion Realm could Breakthrough the rules set by Lu Ze in the Illusion Realm without being kicked out.

“How is it? How much strength can you gain in the Illusion Realm?”

Jiang Lingfeng asked with concern.

“This...”

Du Cheng gave an awkward smile.

“Strictly speaking, it can't be calculated by how much strength. This kid is indeed cunning; he locked down the strength aspect from the very bottom.”

Jiang Lingfeng couldn't help but frown: “Then what was the point of all our trouble?”

“Elder Jiang, don't panic! While strength can't be brought in, as long as it's within his rules, I can do things others can't...”

Du Cheng said with a sly smile.

He had tested two rounds and had already figured out how to use the formation within the rules.

For example, super-fast movement speed, super-fast attack speed, 100% chance of parrying, or ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) transforming into a great Buddha to throw enemies into the clouds...

Even without bringing strength into the Illusion Realm, being able to do this was terrifying enough!

Hearing this, Jiang Lingfeng finally relaxed.

“Hehe, that's good!”

“Once these Cultivators are crushed, they will definitely yearn to bring their cultivation into the Illusion Realm...”

“What fairness? Watch me tear apart your hypocritical fairness!”

...

...

On the other side.

The main server world of the Illusion Realm.

“When can I, the Heavenly Dao, enter ‘eternal calamity’ and participate?”

The Fragment of the Heavenly Dao asked.

During this time, most Illusion Realm players had gone to play “eternal calamity”.

This made the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao very bored.

Opportunities to torment people were far fewer than before.

After all, in “eternal calamity”, there were many opportunities for it to appear.

Occasionally making a cameo as a Dragon, spitting out earth demon talismans from the sky.

Other than that, it was very idle.

Speaking of which, it always felt that when it was spitting earth demon talismans, there was a thick-browed Cultivator who looked particularly familiar...

“Soon, soon.”

Lu Ze nodded.

This was not just perfunctory.

Once the battle royale mode matured, the next mode to be developed would be “Path of Conquering Gods”.

This mode was PVE, and there would be plenty of opportunities for the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao to torment players.

“Wait a minute...”

Lu Ze looked at a post in the forum where a newbie was crying about encountering a perverted great Buddha who threw him from Tianren City to Senluo Valley, and thoughtfully patted the Fragment of the Heavenly Dao's shoulder.

“Perhaps, you'll have a chance very soon...”
