Chapter 8

: Magical Advancement Catalogue

Spirituality?

Qiao Ye thought of the [Spirituality: 1] on his panel.

He truly never knew what the use of this attribute was.

"It seems that's really the case!"

Zhou Zhiguo's face revealed an indescribable excitement.

"Finally, finally this day has come!"

Qiao Ye didn't understand Zhou Zhiguo's excitement, just as he didn't understand the world's confusion over the past decade.

America is shrouded in mist, and evil has appeared among men.

In an instant, the whole world changed completely.

The demons are hostile and always trying to break through the fog, while humans cannot take the initiative to attack and cannot find the demons' lair.

Now, things have finally taken a turn for the better!

Qiao Qingfeng transformed into a crystal and was taken into the Demon City by a demon.

His son also awakened his professionalism around the same time, possessing spirituality and being able to sense his father's location.

Doesn't that mean that for the first time in ten years, humanity has finally been able to pinpoint the location of Castlevania?

The history of humanity's struggle against demons will be dramatically changed at this moment!

"Ono, listen to me carefully!"

Zhou Zhiguo forced himself to calm down and explained to Qiao Ye.

Qiao Ye gradually understood.

Spirituality is a very special attribute.

People only know that people with high spirituality are more likely to come into contact with supernatural things, more likely to understand extraordinary powers, and more likely to see things that others cannot see.

Of course, they will also exhibit certain unique characteristics.

For example, being able to sense danger to loved ones.

Qiao Ye suddenly remembered that he had gone home early from school because he felt inexplicably anxious.

In retrospect, perhaps it was this one bit of spiritual insight that made him sense his father's danger?

Zhou Zhiguo stood up, took a couple of steps in the living room, and then turned back.

"I will contact the front lines immediately to assemble an elite vanguard team to go into the fog with you and rescue Qiao Qingfeng!"

Now, it's Zhou Zhiguo who can't sit still.

He has always believed in one thing: the world is on the side of humanity.

Over millions of years of evolution, humans have become the most intelligent of all creatures.

When demons appear, humanity awakens to extraordinary professions.

After a decade-long stalemate, Qiao Ye brought about a turning point.

This is no coincidence.

Zhou Zhiguo had a vague feeling—

Perhaps in the near future, a special kind of profession will emerge among humankind.

Born specifically to fight against demons, a true chosen one.

"You should get some rest today. We'll arrange everything tonight and come pick you up tomorrow."

Zhou Zhiguo didn't rush to take Qiao Ye away, after all, this trip was risky and he needed to give him some time.

"Oh, right."

He suddenly realized something: "I haven't asked yet, what is your extraordinary profession?"

It should be something like "scholar," Zhou Zhiguo thought.

After all, they can recognize the mysterious symbols of Voodoo at a glance.

"It's the Witcher."

Qiao Ye didn't hide anything and spoke frankly.

"Oh, the Witcher..."

Zhou Zhiguo nodded. "Witcher, witcher is great!"

Ok?

wrong!

He suddenly looked up: "What did you say?!"

……

When Zhou Zhiguo left, he seemed to float away.

He kept muttering things like "There really are chosen ones," which left everyone scratching their heads.

"Ono..."

Qiao's mother looked at Qiao Ye with concern, unsure of what to say.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm just going to show you the way, there won't be any danger."

This was just a casual remark, of course.

Whether there is any danger or not is something Qiao Ye cannot guarantee.

I can only hope that Zhou Zhiguo wasn't lying to me and that he really did assemble a group of elites.

That night.

Qiao Ye continued to fall in his dream, and eventually arrived at that pure white space again.

The maidservant was still waiting there.

"Welcome, Lord of Dreams."

She rose and bowed. "You don't seem very happy today?"

"Don't even mention it, I'm going to die for no reason."

Qiao Ye sighed, not in the mood to chat with Shi Mengnu.

Let's get straight to the point.

"What's the schedule for today? Do I still need to take the mysterious little blue pill?"

"No need for that."

The Dream Maiden stretched out her hand, and a white light spot landed in her palm.

She stared at the spot of light for a while, then suddenly smiled.

"It seems you're in luck today; this is a higher-level plane."

She handed the light to Qiao Ye, saying, "Perhaps you can gain the ability to avoid death in that dimension."

real or fake?

Qiao Ye was skeptical, but he took the light and stared at it for a long time, imitating the Dream Maiden.

The point of light flickered in his palm, then suddenly exploded—

The white light engulfed everything.

……

Qiao Ye opened his eyes.

He was standing in a corridor.

The corridor was deep and seemed to have no end.

There was a copper lamp every few meters on both sides, with a pale blue flame burning inside.

The walls are made of solid black stone, polished so smooth that they reflect images.

A group of people were walking ahead.

They were dressed in matching gray robes, with hoods covering most of their faces, and they walked hurriedly.

Qiao Ye looked down at himself; he was wearing the same gray robe.

What are you standing there for?

Suddenly someone urged, "Hurry up and keep up!"

"Oh! Here it comes!"

Qiao Ye quickly caught up with the group and walked forward.

At the end of the corridor was an archway, open and letting in warm yellow light.

Qiao Ye went inside.

The hall is very large.

All around were concentric stone steps leading upwards, with alchemy tables set up on the steps, where countless gray-robed figures were busy at work.

A person stood in the center of the hall.

A white-robed, white-haired man stood with his back to the doorway, facing a huge curtain.

A man in a gray robe stepped forward and respectfully said, "Master Fang Xuanling, everyone has arrived!"

Fang Xuanling?

Upon hearing the familiar name, Qiao Ye's heart stirred.

What kind of development is this?

Fang Xuanling turned around.

His beard was white and trailed on the ground, and he looked very kind.

Qiao Ye stared at that face, and suddenly felt a light flash in the corner of his vision.

The system notification finally popped up:

[Current Dream: Tang Dynasty - Magic Era]

[Identity: Apprentice of the Demon Academy (Temporary)]

[Partner: Fang Xuanling (Grand Magister)]

[Objective: Complete the alchemical doll "Magic Catalogue" to unlock the extraordinary class "Magic Mechanic".]

"They're all here!"

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "In that case, we can begin our work!"

As he finished speaking, the curtain behind him was suddenly drawn back.

A huge, transparent cylinder appeared before everyone's eyes.

The cylinder extends from the ground to the dome, and is filled with a pale golden liquid.

A person was soaking in the center of the whirlpool.

A silver-haired girl.

She curled up in the pale golden liquid, her eyes closed, her long eyelashes and silver hair flowing gently.

Qiao Ye looked at the girl's serene face.

A new prompt appeared before my eyes—

[Magic Book Promotion Catalog]
