"My strength can only reach this extent. I'm not like Old Xu, who can enhance his Divine Spirit Position through absorbing fragments of Divine Treasures."

Fang Ying felt deeply ashamed and thought it was her fault that she was holding back the human world.

"How about this, Elder Fang Yuan, I'll lend you something else to boost your strength a bit more."

Xiao Mu thought for a moment and decided to boost Fang Ying's power further.

In the Mid Divine Spirit Realm, she really wouldn't be of much use; once they started fighting with the Curse Gate, she might even become a burden.

"Boost my strength?"

Fang Ying was stunned, looking at Xiao Mu incredulously, almost thinking she had misheard, and reminded him, "Xiao Mu, I'm not like Xu Qianwu, I can't enhance my Divine Spirit Position by absorbing fragments of Divine Treasures."

"Of course, absorbing more fragments of Divine Treasures can also boost strength, but for me, that kind of improvement is extremely limited, the consumption and the improvement are completely disproportionate, it's just a waste for me to absorb them."

This woman thought that Xiao Mu's so-called 'boost my strength' meant continuing to hand out fragments of Divine Treasures for her to absorb, and quickly reminded Xiao Mu to prevent him from making a futile effort.

"Yes."

Xu Qianwu apparently thought the same as Fang Ying, and hurriedly interjected, "Xiao Xiao, Fang Ying can't enhance her strength by absorbing fragments of Divine Treasures, if you have extra fragments of Divine Treasures, you might as well let me absorb them. The more I absorb, the stronger I become, and the more effective I will be in the upcoming battles."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu knew that the two had misunderstood him, and hastily said, "Elder Xu, Elder Fang, I'm not talking about fragments of Divine Treasures."

"Not fragments of Divine Treasures?"

"You have another way to boost my strength?"

Xu Qianwu and Fang Ying both were stunned for a moment, looking at each other, both feeling incredulous.

Xiao Mu has the ability to enhance Fang Ying's strength? He was just at the Mid Yin God Realm, and even though his strength in the Mid Yin God Realm was stronger than that of others at the same level, he was still in the Mid Yin God Realm.

A mere Mid Yin God Realm, how could he have the ability to enhance someone in the Divine Spirit Realm?

"I have a treasure that I can temporarily lend to Elder Fang for use." Xiao Mu knew what they were thinking, smiled, reached into the Earth Seal Space with his hand, and the next moment, he pulled out a vermilion pen, looking just like agate.

"Netherworld Judge's Pen!"

"Soul Hooking Judge's Brush!"

Seeing the vermilion brush in Xiao Mu's hand, Fang Ying and Xu Qianwu were both shocked, and blurted out instinctively.

The two were referring to the same thing, known by two names as part of the Judge Pen.

"Xiao Mu, how... how do you have a Judge's Pen?" Fang Ying was excited, her eyes gleaming.

She was a Judge Position holder, and the Netherworld Judge's Pen would greatly increase her power. If given to someone with a Judge Image, it could boost her strength substantially.

"Xiao Mu, you actually have a Judge's Pen, this treasure? Now Fang Ying has made it!" Xu Qianwu was equally excited, looking enviously at Fang Ying, his heart faintly jealous.

A Judge's Pen, this is a Judge's Pen! With a Judge's Pen, Fang Ying who holds a Judge Position in the Divine Spirit Realm wouldn't fail to thrive. Why not give it to me?

"This Judge's Pen, I just acquired recently, unfortunately, it's slightly damaged and not fully powerful. Elder Fang, you try it and see, with your Judge Position combined with the Judge's Pen, by how much your strength can be enhanced." Xiao Mu smiled as he handed the Judge's Pen to Fang Ying.

"This… I truly owe you." Fang Ying felt like she was dreaming.

A Judge's Pen, this divine treasure, she just received it like this?

Her heart couldn't believe what was happening; this... this really can't be a dream, can it?

There are many in the Divine Spirit Realm who hold a Judge Position, but aside from the real Judge Yin Divine Spirits, how many could possess a Judge's Pen?

With a Judge's Pen, soul-hooking and life-taking, a mere stroke of the brush, a gentle hook, and a life would be gone, unstoppable, inescapable, especially when a strong person faces a weaker one, it could be said to be unsolvable.

Fang Ying's strength wasn't very strong; before she restored her Divine Spirit Position, she could even be considered weak among those in the Early Divine Spirit Realm who had Mutations.

But once she had the Judge's Pen, her strength would inevitably skyrocket, turning from weak to strong.

"Elder Fang, try it now, see how much your own strength can be enhanced with the Judge's Pen," Xiao Mu urged as he pushed the pen into her hand, seeing Fang Ying dazed.

"Alright!"

Fang Ying snapped out of her daze, weighed the Judge's Pen in her hands, her expression still one of disbelief.

The Judge Pen, it just ended up in my hands?

But she didn't delay. Instead, she glanced at the Divine Spirit Realm powerhouses from Curse Gate approaching from behind and said cautiously, "I can't reveal my strength. I need to find a place out of their sight to try it."

"There are hills ahead!"

Xu Qianwu pointed toward the distance ahead.

After the World Mutation, the terrain had become complex, with various hills and mountains rising and falling, numerous forests, big rivers, and lakes appearing in the human world.

"Let's go together!"

Fang Ying called out in a low voice, and the three of them launched their Escape Art, moving towards the hills ahead.

They soon reached the hills and used them to avoid the eyes of the Divine Spirit Realm powerhouses from Curse Gate chasing behind. With a buzz, Fang Ying released her Judge Position.

A Golden Judge appeared above Fang Ying's head.

Compared to the black judge image she had when she was injured, both the Divine Power emanating from the judge's image and the subtle pressure spreading out were enough to prove that Fang Ying's Judge Position had significantly improved in strength.

"Catch!"

Fang Ying tossed the Netherworld Judge's Pen towards the Divine Spirit image above her head.

The Golden Light surrounding the Divine Spirit image couldn't block the Judge Pen. Being of the same origin, they easily merged together.

The Judge Pen passed through the Golden Light and entered the scope of the Judge image above Fang Ying's head.

The Golden Judge immediately opened its eyes, and its eyes emitted golden beams, looking utterly holy.

The arrival of the Netherworld Judge's Pen seemed to delight the Judge image immensely, as if it had seen something long missed. Its right hand extended, and the Judge Pen automatically flew into its palm, seemingly pulled by an invisible force.

Buzz!

The Golden Light trembled, and Fang Ying's Judge image began to radiate Brilliance. With the Judge Pen, it was immediately transformed.

A judge without the Judge's Pen cannot be called a real judge, as many of the judge's abilities can't be performed.

A judge with the Judge's Pen is indeed a true judge.

With the Judge Pen in hand, this Judge can truly be said to have returned to its rightful place.

"How much has your strength increased?" Xiao Mu asked Fang Ying, full of anticipation.

"A lot!"

A look of surprise appeared on Fang Ying's face. At the thought, the Judge above her head moved, holding the Judge Pen. With a slight shake, it began sketching directly at the air.

Buzz!

The air trembled, and the Golden light around the Judge image above Fang Ying's head fiercely expanded outwards. Streaks of deadly black light seemed to emerge from below the pen, carrying the aura of death.

Soul-Hooking and Soul-Stealing! This was the power of Soul-Hooking and Soul-Stealing!

Fang Ying exclaimed excitedly, "Now, even if I encounter someone in the late Divine Spirit Realm, I might not be without the strength to fight. Xiao Xiao, thank you!"

Overjoyed, Fang Ying thanked Xiao Mu sincerely.

With the Netherworld Judge's Pen in hand, the Judge image's strength had greatly increased, allowing it to play a significant role in the upcoming battle with Curse Gate.

Xu Qianwu looked at Fang Ying, then at Xiao Mu, and once again at the Judge image above Fang Ying's head holding the Judge Pen, and couldn't help feeling a bit jealous.

Damn! He had absorbed so many pieces of Divine Treasure and had thought that the remnants of the Divine Treasure had already significantly increased his strength, but who would have thought that Xiao Xiao giving Fang Ying just one Treasure would almost bring her strength up to his?

It's not fair, this is just too unfair!

Xu Qianwu was indignant.

"Elder Fang Yuan, you are too kind!"

Xiao Mu, unaware of what Xu Qianwu was thinking, first politely addressed Fang Ying, then immediately added, "Elder Fang Yuan, your strength can still be further increased."

Xiao Mu's astonishing statement once again stunned Xu Qianwu and Fang Ying.

Xiao Mu clearly hadn't thought too much about it, nor was he intentionally trying to shock Xu Qianwu and Fang Ying. He was simply determined to enhance the strength of his people as much as possible, aiming for certain victory in the battle against Curse Gate.
