【Congratulations, Master, for containing (recruiting) T0 protagonists X5!! Now unlocking "Lackey Skill Tree"!】
A series of system notifications rang out.
Qin Luo's mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Due to practicing the Rakshasa Technique, Song Ming had learned countless martial arts.
And with the effect of containment...
All the martial arts Song Ming had learned were now synchronized to Qin Luo.
Anyway, following the usual routine.
Everything that could be fused was fused!
In an instant.
Another series of system notifications followed.
Similar and analogous techniques were all fused together!
【Congratulations, Master, "Lackey's Phantom Body" fused with "XX," "XX," "....." successfully! Obtained new move: "Lackey Shadow Form": Allows the practitioner to transform into an intangible shadow, instantly moving and traversing through darkness!】

A series of system notifications followed.
Good.
Qin Luo thought, this was the reason he contained T0 protagonists.
Because they always brought him unexpected benefits.
Don't you see?
He's been slightly enhanced again.
All main skills have been updated with increased intensity.
Hmph~ Now~
Qin Luo nodded with satisfaction.
He had finally increased his self-preservation capabilities once again.
However...
There was one thing that intrigued him.
What was the Lackey Skill Tree?
He silently thought, "Open the Lackey Skill Tree."
The next second.
A black panel appeared before him.
Unlike previous panels,
This one exuded an ominous aura, with wisps of black smoke constantly rising from it.
On the panel was a twisted tree diagram, with each branch labeled with different gray skills.
At the very top, it was marked.
【Containment Points: 5 Points】
Qin Luo blinked, calling out in his mind, "Little doggy, come out and explain what this is."
【Ding ding~~】
【Reporting to Master, the Lackey Skill Tree is the most important thing for Master's strength enhancement!】
【It consists of three paths, namely: Shadow Arts Master path, Netherworld Witch Doctor path, and Night Shadow Assassin path!】
【Their respective effects are........】
【....】
After a while.
Qin Luo understood.
To put it simply.
The Shadow Arts Master was a summoner.
The Netherworld Witch Doctor was a healer.
The Night Shadow Assassin was an assassin.
Theoretically, as long as he had enough Containment Points, he could follow all three paths.
Moreover, each path would unlock corresponding advanced professions as it progressed.
Hmm.... Interesting.
Qin Luo looked at the panel, thought for a moment, and finally decided to unlock..... the Shadow Arts Master!
Because during the recent power struggle in Jiang City, he had noticed a problem with Su Muwan.
Although she herself was invincible, the problem was....
There were far too few underlings.
Wasn't it tiring to have Su Muwan or himself clean up the small fry every time?
So....
Hmm, as a summoner, let the summoned creatures deal with them.
Thinking this, Qin Luo looked at the Shadow Arts Master section and willed it with his mind.
Hum——!
【1 Containment Point consumed, Shadow Arts Master profession unlocked! Current remaining 4 Points!】
【You can now control shadows to a simple extent.】
As the notification ended.
The gray icon under Shadow Arts Master instantly turned into a glowing, addable icon.
He looked at it.
There were many branches under Shadow Arts Master.
It was quite intricate.
After a long period of consideration.
Qin Luo added points to four skills.
【Shadow Creatures】【LV1】: Summon 100 Shadow Crows for personal use, which can be placed under the shadow during daily life.
【Shadow Pact】: This skill allows you to resurrect any dead creature as a shadow creature, retaining some of their abilities, and serving you.
【Shadow Annihilation】: This skill gives your shadow creatures powerful self-detonation abilities, with detonation damage related to the strength of the contracted creature.
【Shadow Resurrection】: Dead shadow creatures can be restored to their original state within a short time by consuming energy.
Hmm.... All Containment Points were exhausted.
Apart from the skills that a summoner should have.
Qin Luo looked at the Shadow Creatures section. Currently, at level 1, Shadow Creatures could summon 100 Shadow Crows.
This skill had a total of 3 levels. Once maxed, the next Shadow Creature would be unlocked.
In Qin Luo's opinion, this should be a summonable creature exclusive to this profession.
Adding points to it was always a good choice.
Alright... It was time to go back and test what these new skills could do.
Thinking this.
Qin Luo glanced at Su Muwan, who was swinging her legs and scrolling through her phone beside him.
Huh, there's an idea.
He smiled slightly and said, "Miss Su."
"Hmm?"
"Would you like to see a magic trick?"
Magic trick?!
Su Muwan immediately became interested. She turned to look at Qin Luo, her eyes filled with anticipation. "Yes! What kind of magic trick?"
Seeing this, Qin Luo smiled mysteriously, then clapped his hands together.
He then looked at Su Muwan and said, "Miss Su, extend your hands."
"Oh."
Su Muwan obediently extended her palms.
The next second.
"Don't blink, Miss Su."
As Qin Luo spoke, he slowly separated his hands.
A magical scene unfolded.
Between the two hands that had been brought together, a lifelike black shark plush toy gradually materialized!
Qin Luo placed it in Su Muwan's palm, then smiled at her surprised gaze. "For you, Miss Su."
"Wow!"
Su Muwan's eyes sparkled as she hugged the black shark plush toy, the soft touch and exquisite craftsmanship making her unable to stop squeezing it.
【Loyalty +10!】
"Qin Luo! How did you do that?"
Su Muwan hugged the shark, her face full of joy as she looked at Qin Luo.
The latter just chuckled lightly and said, "Revealing the magic trick would spoil the fun."
Simple shadow manipulation could achieve this level of effect.
He looked at the overjoyed Su Muwan.
The happy young lady, in short, was....
"Hmph! This mere Qin Luo dares to be so arrogant! Next time, I'll learn a trick and show it to you!"
Hmm, in short, very cute.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks!
