Compared to other colleagues using all sorts of flashy skills and shady tactics, Lu Wenwu, who simply throws a straightforward punch, could truly be described as "adorable."

Plus, after each sparring session, there’s delicious spiritual cuisine and egg-filled pancakes to enjoy, which is just too satisfying.

Up until now, in Lu Wenwu’s skills panel, aside from the embarrassingly unskilled [Firearms Mastery] which he only played around with to reach [Initial Glimpse] through his Underworld activities, all other skills have been elevated to the level of [First Generation Grandmaster].

Among them, thanks to the attentive guidance of Deputy Commander Ghost An over the past year, Lu Wenwu’s [Overlord Fist] has grasped a hint of the essence of the True Meaning of Martial Arts, and is on the verge of breaking through to [Peak of Perfection].

And it’s not just this skill that’s about to break through.

The [Demon Dragon Wings], which can be enhanced with True Dragon Blood, is also on the verge of improvement, and it might even progress faster than [Overlord Fist].

Lu Wenwu has been juggling multiple roles throughout this year.

With the various rare Underworld resources he collected and additional Spirit Coins, he exchanged them at the Food Bureau for ten milliliters of precious Nether Yin Dragon Blood, which, most importantly, was the essential blood.

The Nether Yin Dragon is a powerful dragon species unique to the Underworld, with a formidable talent for traversing the Yin and Yang Realms. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The ten milliliters of dragon blood Lu Wenwu exchanged for came from a Nether Yin Dragon on the cusp of entering another Domain, at the Peak of S+.

According to the common terms in web novels, it would be considered a half-step Ascension to Divinity.

However, the system does not categorize such levels.

The skill [Demon Dragon Wings] is quite unique.

The strength of the skill doesn’t depend on the cultivator’s comprehension, but primarily on the quality of dragon blood used for enhancement.

As such, the Demon Dragon Wings cultivated with this half-step Ascension to Divinity Tier Nether Yin Dragon’s essential blood will definitely bring Lu Wenwu a significant boost.

What does the skill level of [Peak of Perfection] signify?

It means this skill has reached the pinnacle within the realm of mortals.

Typically, only S-Class powerhouses can cultivate one or two skills to such a level.

Beyond that lies the realm involving the Law, a level only gods can grasp, which is usually something touched upon only at the Ascension to Divinity Tier.

And now, Lu Wenwu is about to have two skills at the [Peak of Perfection] level!

While his skills have undergone a massive enhancement, Lu Wenwu certainly did not neglect his own physical improvement.

Apart from the unpredictable combat experience, the enhancement in his [Body] attributes is very real.

With the massive earnings of millions in Spirit Coins, Lu Wenwu shot his [Body] attributes directly to a significant milestone of 6500 through a combination of exchange and cultivation!

The cost of this was only having a remainder of just over two hundred thousand Spirit Coins left for emergencies.

After fiddling with his phone for a bit, a "beep beep beep" notification came from Lu Wenwu’s communicator.

When he opened it, it turned out to be a reply to his resignation letter posted earlier.

None of his resignation applications were approved, not for any position.

Instead, following the Underworld’s age-old traditions, they provided him with the classic method of handling a sealed-off duty.

The employee dormitory and his files are both retained, and the equipment issued to him is to be kept safe by himself.

If Lu Wenwu ever comes back down one day, he can rejoin straight from wherever he left off from Fengdu City...

"Oh well, if they want to keep it, let them keep it."

Lu Wenwu smiled and shook his head, changing into casual clothes and stepping out of the door, bidding farewell to the friends and comrades he met over this past year one by one.

Today is his last day in the Underworld, and tomorrow he will end this journey and return to the Human World.

Before leaving, Bai Er Yi Yi and Black 985, who conveniently have the day off, invited him to go see the most grand spectacle in the whole Underworld at dawn — the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala Morning Show.

It’s akin to the Chinese New Year Gala during the New Year in the Divine Continent but far more entertaining and intriguing than anything in the Human World.

After all...

Anyone who dared to come up with some obnoxious act in this grand event, attended by everyone in the Underworld, including Yin Spirits and Ghost Kings, would straightforwardly be fed to the Bo’er Elephant!

The fate of that chubby comedian surnamed Jiang is still vivid in everyone’s mind!

Riding a Paper Boat to the main city district of the Reincarnation Area, the "New Year" atmosphere was already very thick here, with white paper lanterns and white candles adorning everywhere.

Lots of shops would also include beautifully crafted round ancient paper money as gifts, and the entire main district was filled with ghostly wails and gusts of Yin Wind.

Several stores selling Ghost Food had already hung up massive live-streaming screens, with professionals working on the settings.

This is another age-old tradition of festivity in the Underworld.

While in the Human World at this time, people usually set off firecrackers, race pigs, light river lanterns, float sky lanterns, offer tributes, burn paper money, appease wandering souls, and honor ancestors, with some areas having special meaningful snacks.

On the other hand, the greatest joy for the ghosts of the Underworld on this day is to gather together en masse to watch live-streams of mortals celebrating and the antics of those returning to the Human World.

After watching the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala Morning Show, those with relatives and friends up there can return if they wish.

For those not returning, they can gather with a few friends to enjoy the shows.

Like which unlucky ghost didn’t get their offerings this year, which ghost with no family somehow snagged someone else’s offering, whose descendants messed up the grave and rituals leaving their ancestors without a meal... and the likes.
