As I inspected the rest of the loot, I noticed that the third piece of equipment was a hexagonal shield with sharp edges on its sides. It emanated a dense holy radiance. As I held it in my hands, I felt an imposing force flowing through my arms. Its defensive power definitely wouldn’t be bad. I flicked my wrist and the stats of the shield appeared in front of me. I immediately laughed, “Matcha, your new shield has appeared!”

“Uh…” Looking at the stats of the [Holy Spirit Shield], Wan Er opened her mouth in amazement and said, “Aren’t these stats way too high? The defensive power of this shield is off the charts…not to mention that it also adds 1000 health and 70 attack points…for Purple Tier Equipment, this is just broken…”
“After this, Matcha can level safely; at this rate, by the time we enter the fourth floor, she will be Lv 58.When she equips the [Holy Spirit Shield], she can be the tank for the last boss…”
Sister Matcha stood there with a dazed expression. She blinked and stared at me. “Boss, the final boss might be Emperor Tier. Can I really do it?
I smiled and handed her the [Holy Spirit Shield], “I say that you can, so you can. Don’t worry…”
“Yes…”
……
Looking again, the boss also dropped some other items. Two spirit gems, as well as a lustrous golden tablet had also fallen where the had dragon died. It looked like the Guild Creation Tablet, but the shape wasn’t right. I held it with both hands and lifted it. It turned out to be a new item–
【Heaven’s Decree +2】:After use, gain +2 charm!
……
“Woooaahh…” Dong Cheng Yue let out a small smile. “This Heaven’s Decree is definitely something good, since it adds charm. Xiao Yao, charm is an invaluable treasure, something that cannot be bought!”
I just nodded my head. “This Heaven’s Decree… whatever, let’s just have everyone roll for it; we’ll see who’s luck can win over these 2 Charm points!”
“Okay!”
To everyone’s surprise, the Heaven’s Decree was rolled away to Fox. Since he got the two points of charm, he felt so happy he could have died.
Standing in the middle of the river and looking at the cables above, I returned the [Frost Rain Sword] back to its sheath and said, “It’s almost eight o’clock in the evening, should we take a break? We’ll return to the city, repair equipment, and stock up on supplies; my weapon only has about 21% durability left, so we’ll all meet up at Ba Huang City at 10 sharp and then come here. We’ll pull an all nighter and complete this SSS rank quest in one breath, how about that?
Promised Love, “Hey…but I still have work tomorrow.”
“Take a day off…”
“Give me a legitimate reason, kid!”
“Just say you’re busy…”
“Fine…”
……
The girls used their return scrolls to go back to their respective cities to prepare for the next part of the quest. I checked my level again and saw that I had reached Lv 60. Since I wasn’t in a hurry to go back to the city, I first looked for Frost to see if I could get a job change.
I climbed back up the iron chain from the now empty second floor. It took about ten minutes to finally reach the first floor, and then ten more minutes to finally arrive at the exit of the Dragon Temple.
“Pa da…”
I collapsed onto the ice-cold stone steps, breathing heavily. I felt extremely tired but I stood up and lifted my Frost Rain Sword as I walked out of the corridor. When I reached the surface, Frost, who wasn’t far from me, stood up and shouted, “Who is it?”
I cast off the cloak on my head and revealed a smile as bright as the sun, “Frost, it’s me.”
Frost was surprised at first, and then laughed, “Oh, you’re okay? That’s great! Have you found where Yun Chen is yet?”
“Not yet…” I took a deep breath. “We need to go back to Ba Huang City to repair our equipment and restock our supplies. Then we’ll come back and finish journeying into the Dragon Temple, but…”
I looked straight at Frost and said, “I’m already level 60, so I need a job promotion. You promised me that you would be my teacher, so please help me with it. I can’t always go to battle without a job.”
“Oh, it’s like that…” Frost looked at me carefully and walked up to me, reaching out her hand to place it on my chest while softly whispering, “Young warrior, tell me. Can I trust you completely?”
I nodded my head vigorously and said with a powerful voice, “If you recognize me as your apprentice, I will use all my strength to defend Dragon City. I would give my life to protect you. I will keep this vow until the day I die!”
“Until the day you die, you’ll never change it…”
Frost’s shoulders quivered, and a complex array of colors flashed through her eyes. She lowered her head and blinked, showing a faint trace of a smile. “Okay! From this day on, I am your teacher and you are my apprentice. Come, you will receive Dragon City’s welcoming one more time!”
……
Saying this, Frost once more placed her small, snow-white hands on my chest. She closed both of her eyes, softly chanting, “This dragon’s domain is cold and dark, yet kindness is eternal; even if we die, we will not submit. We will protect this cold barren wasteland and the city which stands upon it. I, Frost, captain of the Dragon Rider Squad of Dragon City, bestow upon you the honor of becoming a Dragon Warrior. From this day on, you are an important part of my life; even if you die and get reincarnated, never let me down!
I looked at the pair of her beautiful eyes and nodded, “Even if I am reincarnated, I will never disappoint you!”
Frost’s mouth curled into a smile, “Good…you and me, our whole lives will be dedicated to Dragon City and we shall remain loyal to the great King Luo Lin!”
“Yes!”
