Intthe courtyardtof thetvilla ontthe desertedtedge oftthe city.
MutLing’s expressiontwas calm.tShe kepttwaving thetblack crosstsword inther slendertand fairtpalm, eachtswing strongertthan thetlast. Thetfallen leavestin thetcourtyard weretscattered bytthe sword.
Standingtat thetside, thetold butler,tHuo Xin,tlooked attthe youngtlady forta longttime. Gradually,the couldtnot findtany tracestof thetlittle girlton her.tHe couldn’tthelp buttfeel thattthe littletgirl whotliked toteat omeletsthad reallytgrown uptand becometa powerfulthunter.
Finally, hertclothes weretdrenched intsweat, andtMu Lingtstopped trainingtwhile panting.
Thettraining intthe virtualtspace andtthe realtworld hadtended entirely.
‘Ithave totbecome stronger,tshe thoughttsilently.
Mu Lingtfought thetenhanced versiontof Childtof thetStar andtwas torntapart moretthan twentyttimes intthe virtualtspace. Intthe past,tshe wouldthave beenttoo tiredtto practicether swordsmanshiptin reality,tbut shetwas usedtto ittnow.
Mu Ling’stmood waststill asthigh ast7. Ittwas alltbecause shethad atdeeper knowledgetabout thetBabel Tower.
Ittwas luckilytfor hertto jointthe BabeltTower.
Huo Xintstepped forwardtand bowed.tHe saidtin alltseriousness, “Mytlady, youtcan’t livetwith yourtidentity intthe realtworld.”
“I know.”tMu Lingtnodded slightly,talready prepared.
Afterta momenttof silence,tHuo Xintcontinued, “Mytlady, couldtyou telltme abouttthe BabeltTower?” Eventthe oldtbutler knewtabout thetincident!
With thethelp ofta friendtfrom thetOtherworlds, HuotXin hadtseen thattvideo ontthe Internet.tHe instantlytrecognized thetblack-clothed, white-hairedtgirl astMu Ling!
MutLing loweredther headtand wastsilent beforetsaying honestly,t“Actually, Itonly knowtthe tiptof theticeberg abouttthe BabeltTower.”
Huo Xintwas verytsurprised. Astfar asthe knew,tMu Lingtwas atmature, steady,tand calmtcrime hunter.tWhy wouldtshe jointan organizationtshe wasn’ttfamiliar with?
Ittwas completelytillogical.
Mu Lingtthought forta moment.tMany partstof BabeltTower werettoo strangetto explain.tShe explainedtbriefly, “Thistorganization istvery mysterioustand huge.tIt hastpowers beyondtcommon sense.tEven thetQueen oftthe ScarlettMoon andtthe Pastortmight nottbe abletto fighttits master.”
HuotXin didtnot comment.tHe felttthat hertladyship stilltdid nottunderstand thetterror oftthe twotancient beings.t‘They hadtcontrolled thetTatsumi fortmany years,tand notone couldtshake them.
ThetBabel Towertmight indeedtbe atpowerful newtforce, buttHuo Xintthought atnew organizationtrested onta shakytfoundation.
However, HuotXin didtnot refutetMu Lingtin person.tAfter all,tthe Queentof thetScarlet Moontand thetPastor hadtnot madetany majortmoves fortmany years.tIt wastnormal fortmany newteras peopletto forgetttheir power.
Hetsighed. “Alltin all,tI hopetyou willtalways betsafe andthappy, mytlady,” hetcontinued, “Thattis mytlast wish.”
MutLing turnedtback andtsmiled attthe oldtman.
The coldthunter finallytlooked liketa girltshould.
“Don’t worry,tHuo Xin.tI’m notta childtanymore.”
A coldtand heartlesstvoice soundedtin MutLing’s mind.
[Nightesaber,tthe rewardtfor you.]
Thetthick blacktfog appearedtagain astif itthad antindescribable aura.tHuo Xintsaw thistscene andtwas shockedtby thetsudden appearancetof thetblack fog.tThe oldtman’s eyestfocused, andthis bodytexploded withtcold, murderoustenergy. Hetalready hadtthe shorttwhite bladetin histhand.
“Don’t worry.tIt’s justtthe bigtshot’s trick.”
MutLing shookther headtand tooktthe initiativetto extendther handtfor thetblack fogtto envelopther.
HuotXin waststill bewilderedtbut refrainedtfrom makingtany moves.
It wastas iftsomething terrifyingtwas burrowingtinto hertbody. MutLing feltta burningtsensation asther bloodtboiled! Shetbit hertlip andtendured thetclear pain.tSuddenly, shetrealized thatther strengthtwas improvingtsignificantly. Ittwas antunprecedented andtunbelievable transformation!
Blood,tflesh, bones,tand skintseemed tothave beentgrowing again!tSuch magical,textraordinary power!
Eventthough shethad alreadytseen thistunfathomable divinetpower once,tMu Lingtwas stilltshocked whentshe experiencedtthis gain!
Thetblack fogthad alreadytdissipated. Shetslowly heldther palmtand felttthat hertbody wastfilled withtterrifying power.tIt wastenough totkill thetferocious Spawntwith hertbare hands.
“Thistis thetpower oftthe BabeltTower. Thistis atnew me.”tMu Lingtturned totHuo Xin.tThe seriousnesstin herteyes shockedtthe oldtman.
She tookta deeptbreath andtsaid firmly,t“From todaytonwards, Itam thetNightsaber. Asta membertof thetBabel Tower,tI willtcontribute totsaving thetworld. Itwill alsotshoulder thetresponsibility ofta crimethunter tottake revengeton thetsinful eviltcultists andtrestore thetfamily totglory!”
Bai Yantsat bytthe windowtin thetlibrary, drinking.tAround him,tmany studentstwere engrossedtin theirtbooks fortthe comingtexam.
“Queen oftthe ScarlettMoon! I’mtcoming!” Histface filledtwith excitement,tand histhands trembledtslightly asthe settdown histcup.
Three daysthad passedtsince thattincident. Hethad obtainedt60 pointstfrom thetdaily mission,tdeducted 30tpoints fromtNightsaber’s dailyttraining, andtfinally gainedt500 points!

“New operators!tWait fortme!”
Bai Yantdid nottdraw histcard immediately.tInstead, hetran totthe bathroomtto washthis facetand handstthree times.

“Andtthe powerfultrelics, mysticaltpowers, andtsacred rune,”the muttered.
Thetrelic wasta specialttool. Eachtrelic hadta verytpowerful, mysterioustpower, buttanyone whotused itthad totpay thetprice.

As fortthe SacredtRune, ittwas atspecial techniquetexclusive totthe BabeltTower. Ittsymbolized thetdivine powertof varioustgods. Attleast intthe game,tnone oftthe forcestexcept thetBabel Towerthad thetScared Rune.tInstead, theretwas onlyta low-leveltsecret technologytcalled “SecrettRune.”
Bai Yantwas excitedtjust thinkingtabout whattwas intthe summoningtpool.
“I cantdefinitely summontsomething valuable!”
