After a period of excitement and uproar, the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Battle Tournament finally came to a successful conclusion.

As the various participating teams gradually departed, the bustling Haiyuan City slowly returned to its usual tranquility.

The streets and alleys were no longer packed with crowds like during the tournament. The noisy hawking and heated discussions faded, and the whole city seemed to awaken from a grand celebration, returning to its daily rhythm.

According to the tournament's established rules, the top three academies all received corresponding rewards, prepared by Haiyuan City.

However, since St. Freya Academy won the championship in one fell swoop, the most precious reward originally intended for the champion was saved.

Lu Jingming displayed great generosity this time, awarding three ten-thousand-year Stigmata to Shrek Academy, the runner-up, and one ten-thousand-year Stigma to Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, the third place.

This was not only a reward but also a promotion for Stigmata.

Lu Jingming had already made up his mind to take the Jade Chamber as the core and gradually expand the business of selling Stigmata throughout the soul master world.

He planned to launch Stigmata covering ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, and ten thousand years, to meet the needs of soul masters of all levels.

As for the extremely rare hundred-thousand-year Stigmata, considering their scarcity and value, they would only appear at the annual Jade Auction, to attract the attention of numerous soul masters and enhance Jade Chamber's reputation and influence.

While advancing the Stigmata plan, Lu Jingming realized that relying on Ningguang alone made it difficult to handle so many complicated affairs, and her energy would inevitably be scattered.

Moreover, the appearance of Stigmata was bound to cause a stir in this world, attracting attention from all sides and requiring even more manpower and effort to cope.

At this time, Lu Jingming was not lacking in the power of reality. After careful consideration, he decided: it's you, Ganyu.

When Keqing and Ningguang learned that Lu Jingming was going to summon Ganyu, the two of them rushed over, full of anticipation.

As threads of the power of reality were slowly consumed, the Authority of Reality quietly activated.

In an instant, a vast power that turns the illusory real descended, causing strange ripples to appear in the space.

Under everyone's gaze, a figure gradually became clear from the void, turning from blurry to real.

Ganyu, who appeared, had soft blue hair neatly tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, naturally falling to her waist and gently swaying with her movements, emanating a lively beauty.

The playful ahoge on her head trembled slightly, adding a touch of cuteness and playfulness to her cold temperament.

She wore a white short qipao, exquisitely tailored, with golden patterns carefully adorning the collar and cuffs, exuding an elegant and luxurious aura.

The ice-blue gem at her waist complemented her overall appearance, and next to her black qilin horns was a unique fan-shaped headpiece.

The white-to-blue gradient sleeves on her arms, together with her black tights and golden-patterned sock rings, highlighted her elegance and beauty to the fullest.

Lu Jingming looked at Ganyu in front of him and couldn't help but secretly admire her.

The overall elegant, serene, cold, and pure aura Ganyu gave off was as holy and flawless as ice and snow. Even compared to Gu Yue, she was not inferior at all.

"Ganyu, how are you feeling?" Lu Jingming smiled, looking at the newly arrived Ganyu, then glanced at the equally delighted Keqing beside him, the corners of his mouth curling up unconsciously.

At this moment, he felt secretly pleased—he had finally assembled the combination he'd dreamed of.

"It feels… very strange. So this is another world?" Ganyu slowly opened her clear blue eyes, curiosity shining within.

Her voice was calm and gentle, like a mountain spring, extremely soothing, as if it could instantly calm one's heart.

On Teyvat, visitors from other worlds were not rare, but it was Ganyu's first time in another world herself.

This brand-new experience felt both wondrous and novel.

However, during her manifestation in this world, she had already received detailed information about it, so she wasn't completely unfamiliar with her surroundings.

Moreover, seeing the familiar Keqing and Ningguang here brought her comfort—at least she wouldn't feel lonely and helpless in this strange world.

"Great, with Ganyu here, work efficiency will increase at least tenfold!"

Keqing, living up to her reputation as the queen of hard work, immediately thought of increased work efficiency at the sight of Ganyu.

She said this with full confidence, and even exaggerated tenfold, making Lu Jingming's mouth twitch.

He did summon Ganyu partly hoping she'd help with affairs, but more out of fondness for Ganyu herself—not just to make her a workhorse!

"Um, no need to rush into work. Keqing, you should also consider others!" Lu Jingming said softly, feeling a bit of a headache.

He would much rather see Keqing and Ganyu living leisurely and enjoying life than working themselves to the bone.

"Work, huh? Leave it to me!" At the mention of work, Ganyu responded almost reflexively.

This made Lu Jingming even more helpless, both amused and exasperated.

Ningguang couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

She had already guessed that putting Keqing and Ganyu together would definitely trigger such amusing chemistry.

She came partly to welcome Ganyu, and partly to witness this hilarious scene firsthand.

For Ganyu, the moment Lu Jingming summoned her, a contract was formed between them.

Since Lu Jingming expended precious power of reality to bring her from the illusory world to reality, she would wholeheartedly fulfill the contract and do her best for him.

Seeing Ganyu immediately asking about work upon arrival, Lu Jingming truly felt helpless.

After all, with Stigmata sales centered around Jade Chamber, some malicious outlaws would inevitably covet them.

To ensure Jade Chamber's safety and stability, stronger power was needed to guard it.

Currently, Ningguang's strength was still a little lacking to handle all possible crises alone.

Therefore, in summoning Ganyu, Lu Jingming did not hesitate to expend a large amount of the power of reality, so that Ganyu would possess sufficiently strong power in this world.

This way, she could not only share Keqing and Ningguang's heavy workload but also rely on her own immense strength to deter would-be troublemakers and fully protect Ningguang and the Jade Chamber.

Ganyu's martial soul was the Ice Qilin; now, she was at the level of a 98th-rank Super Douluo, possessing the ultimate ice attribute.

As an auspicious beast, Ganyu's arrival would undoubtedly bring endless good fortune to Haiyuan City.

The reason Lu Jingming didn't raise Ganyu directly to the 99th-rank Limit Douluo level was that condensing a second soul core would consume exponentially more power of reality.

By comparison, he preferred Ganyu to break through on her own, relying on her talent and effort to condense her second soul core.

In this way, he could save a large amount of precious power of reality, and Ganyu would better adapt to this world and improve herself through self-breakthrough.

Given Ganyu's outstanding talent, breaking through to 99th rank was not difficult—her chances of success were far better than most Title Douluo on the Douluo Continent.

The same applied to Dan Heng; Lu Jingming hoped they could achieve breakthroughs on their own.

They already possessed such talent and potential, and a 98th-rank ultimate attribute Super Douluo was not to be underestimated—possibly even stronger than an ordinary Limit Douluo, which was already sufficient for the current situation.

Suddenly, a pink figure suddenly leaped from the side, pouncing straight into Ganyu's arms at lightning speed.

"Eh! Guuji? How did you become like this?" Ganyu's body stiffened in surprise, then quickly recognized the pink-haired fox in her arms as none other than Yae Miko.

Lu Jingming, seeing this, scratched his nose awkwardly, his face a bit embarrassed.

This all stemmed from his earlier mischievous whim. When summoning Yae Miko, due to a lack of sufficient power of reality, she had remained in her little fox form, and he hadn't yet restored her to her graceful, intelligent appearance.

Now, he thought, it was time to restore her true form.

"Um, Ganyu, when I summoned Yae Miko before, due to insufficient power of reality, there was a little accident. Now's a good time, so let's restore Yae Miko to normal!"

Lu Jingming quickly explained to Ganyu as he gently took the pink fox from her arms.

Then, he infused the power of reality into the little fox, replenishing her strength and restoring her original form.

As the power of reality continued to flow into her, purple lightning began to flicker and dance around the little fox.

In the next moment, the silly and dazed look in her eyes vanished, replaced by a flash of intelligence.

She turned into a dazzling bolt of lightning and instantly vanished from Lu Jingming's arms.

Before anyone could react, Yae Miko reappeared before them.
