Various conjectures flashed through his mind. However, before asking questions, El chose to check the messages from the Group Chat first. He touched the crystal bracelet on his arm.
In an instant, a holographic screen lit up, flashing right in front of his face.
[Avatar Hell]: "Main body, I intend to make one of us a Servant. Who do you think is the most suitable?"
El's pupils dilated slightly, intrigued by Avatar Hell's idea, but before El could type a reply, another message from Hell appeared.
[Avatar Hell] "Ah, before that I will give up all the attribute points I got from this Mission. In order to increase strength, I intend to challenge the Reincarnation Tower and just cultivate."
"Hmm, so that's it... " muttered El, then reviewing the memories and thinking of Ashura, he immediately gave a reply message.
[Adrian]: "I see, good luck and as for the Avatar... I guess it's Ashura. As for Preta... because of the Ghostly Poison Flame, it was too much."
El and Hell, who were in the opposite world, simultaneously began to recall Ashura's abilities.
Although at that time Ashura was still at the 5-star Dou Wang level, his strength was very prominent in battle.
This was not without reason. Ashura developed unique and unorthodox fighting techniques.
[Adrian]: "It's true from the previous information, in addition to Preta possessing the Ghostyl Poison Flame, Deva recently obtained the Heavenly Flame as well: Yin-Yang Twin Flame which was accidentally obtained while trapped in the Void due to Xiao Yan's actions."
[Adrian]: "But, Deva must always stay close to Xiao Yan in order to continue gaining benefits. The Yin-Yang Flame is also part of luck..."
Before continuing to type, El recalled the Yin-Yang Twin Flames.
Born in the void of the universe, two-colored flames, one black and one white, intertwined, swimming like Yin and Yang fish, filled with the dual power of life and death.
Yang fire can heal, saving lives and Yin fire kills people, leaving no bones.
[Adrian]: "... that time Deva was saved by the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, because those Heavenly Flames were very attracted to our Dou Qi energy that contained the essence of Samsara."
[Adrian]: "So Ashura is enough. Deva is too much."
[Hell]: "But to buy a contract letter, even if it's just a bronze my current Poin is not enough. So, I need some time. Can I ask for transfer points?"
[Adrian]: "Of course, why not? For that, let me transfer 100,000 Points. If it's still not enough, just tell me."
[Avatar Hell]: "Alright, thanks! 100,000 Points is enough. I'll head to the Auction House right away and send the attribute points now."
[Adrian]: "Yes, I will also send the Points now."
Ding!
[You have transferred 100,000 Points to Servant Avatar Ashura]
Ding!
[Avatar Ashura has transferred 20 Attribute Points to you]
After the exchange was completed, El immediately opened the Status Screen. Without hesitation, El distributed an additional 40 Attribute Points to INT to increase the quality and quantity of his Dou Qi even more.
Ding!

With the addition of another 40 attribute points, the quality and quantity of Dou Qi in El's body soared drastically, as if equivalent to a 9-star Dou Zun that had gone through eight full transformations.
In an instant, his body could barely withstand the tremendous pressure wave triggered by the increasingly abundant Dou Qi.
However, with a high degree of control, El managed to suppress the power back before it exploded out of control, making the Labyrinth instantly rumble as if it was about to collapse.
Even so, due to a slight delay in adjusting, the monolith he was sitting on made a sharp cracking sound, the cracks spreading like cobwebs, a testament to how overwhelming the pressure from within him was.
On the other hand, El began to feel something different. Vague but real, the energy in his body began to intersect with the laws of creation, faint signs of the Ban Sheng stage possessing the Dou Sheng qualification.
More importantly, the Samsara essence within him began to resonate more and more strongly, as if responding to his new surge of power.
Raising his right hand slowly, El flowed out a gentle reddish-purple Dou Qi, a sign of having grasped the essence of what the Mystic Eye Death Perception saw.
His eyes squinted, tracing every point of light that now seemed more alive, more real, like a small universe moving in his control.
El could feel the pulse of the laws of life and death flowing with that energy. This was the main reason why the Heavenly Flame: Yin-Yang Twin Flames were so compatible and even interested in being subservient to Deva.
El smiled slightly. Calm, yet determined. He then cut off the flow of Dou Qi and lowered his hand.
"Just 42 attribute points left... after that, I can go back to face the next Authority Ascension Examination."
Shortly after, the sound of footsteps could be heard approaching. Hajime and Yue, looking exhausted and shabby, finally reached the monolith where El was sitting casually as if nothing had happened.
As soon as they arrived, Yue immediately fell to the ground. Her low physical stamina could no longer support her small body, although the mana reserves within her were still very abundant.
Taking another sip of wine, before El put away his wine flask jug into the storage room, then lightly jumped down from the monolith to greet them.
"Why is this monolith cracked?" said Hajime in surprise, he remembered that this monolith had no cracks at all.
However, before El could open his mouth to answer, Hajime grumbled harshly. "Crazy teacher!"
Without saying much, El raised his hand and flicked! A small wave of wind, right on Hajime's forehead, was strong enough to make him grimace in pain.
"Argh... It hurts!"
"Correct your speech," El said in a soft but demanding voice. "I am your teacher. For this monolith... I accidentally released my energy, well... No matter."
El immediately turned around, casting a quick glance at them. "Alright, now you guys rest. Hajime, make a campfire."
El then sat on the ground, leaning casually on the surface of the monolith. He let out a long breath, then looked up at the dim ceiling of the cave.
"Geez, after all this time... why haven't you understood the basic techniques I taught you? Is it that difficult?"
Hajime who had recovered from grimacing in pain, immediately lit the bonfire looked up and grumbled, "That's not a basic technique lesson, that's torture."
Then, a heavy sigh came out of Hajime's mouth. "Although it's very easy to kill them, but on your unreasonable terms and they just keep appearing-"
Yue, who was sitting cross-legged while recuperating, nodded softly cutting off Hajime's words. "It's hard... But... it seems like my body is getting a little used to it."
El nodded slightly, then explained calmly, "Total Breathing Concentration... isn't just about taking deep breaths."
"It's about harmonizing the heart rate, blood flow, and breathing rhythm into one."
"You circulate energy in the body continuously, increasing physical strength, agility, and even natural healing."
Pausing for a moment, El looked at the two with a meaningful expression. "But that is only the surface."
"True mastery only begins when your body can maintain it even while sleeping, while fighting, or under extreme conditions."
"Train consistently. On the next floors, you will have no choice but to master it... or die."
"What a nutcase!" said Hajime, snorting in annoyance at El's words.
El flicked the air, creating a small, barely noticeable wave that shot up and hit Hajime's forehead, enough to make him curl up, grimacing in pain.
El smiled slightly in satisfaction at seeing her student curled up and grimacing in pain. "I told you to correct your speech. Are you a masochist? You get the most flick, Hajime Nagumo."
