Xia Feng thought for a moment and explained, "It's when you receive information from the Spiritual Artifact, the column for Level showed something other than 'N', it was a word—'a', 'l', 'p', 'h', 'a'."
"I originally thought it meant Level A." Xia Feng expressed his disappointment as he touched his forehead.
Lady Black Crow: "..."
Lady Black Crow: "..."
Lady Black Crow: "..."
"Hey, hey? Lady Black Crow?" Xia Feng looked up in confusion, only to see Lady Black Crow looking at him with somewhat vacant pupils. He waved his hand, "What's the matter? Are you okay?"
At that moment, Lady Black Crow suddenly flew down from the tree branch, flashing right before Xia Feng's eyes, her gaze serious and her voice trembling, "Repeat that word you just said."
Xia Feng was stunned for a moment before he said, "a-l-p-h-a."
"Alpha?" Lady Black Crow's trembling voice murmured, her eyes looking at Xia Feng as if he were a monster, "You actually awakened an Alpha?!"
"What do you mean?" Although Xia Feng asked this, he had also realized something. His eyes widened with a hint of surprise, "Ah, so does that mean my Spiritual Artifact is actually very powerful? It's not an S Level, is it?"
"S your big head ghost!" Lady Black Crow smacked his head with one of her wings, huffing, "This is divine, something that even gods yearn and thirst for!"
"?" Xia Feng's pupils slowly dilated, "So you're saying my Spiritual Artifact is rarer than S Level?"
Lady Black Crow saw that this whippersnapper still had no clear idea of what he had awakened. She suddenly couldn't contain her irritation any longer.
"This is outrageous! Too outrageous!" She took a deep breath, muttering non-stop.
Not one among those she had helped had awakened an S Level Spiritual Artifact, yet this one awoke an Alpha Level!
This human kid, utterly out of her expectations!
"Lady Black Crow, please, calm down—" Xia Feng felt that this old lady was even more excited and thrilled than he was, "Can you explain clearly to me what this is?"
Lady Black Crow regained her composure, fell into thought for a moment, then shook her head and spoke somberly, "This involves some secrets; there is much that I cannot tell you in detail."
"In short, you just need to remember two things. First, this is a Level of Spiritual Artifact that even Star Gods may not awaken. Second, from today onward, do not tell anyone the Level of your Spiritual Artifact, not even your closest kin! Remember, this secret must stay buried within you!"
Upon seeing Lady Black Crow's serious demeanor, Xia Feng nodded seriously. He roughly understood that this was a Level that could bring disaster upon him of Divine proportions.
"I understand." Xia Feng looked up, "But Lady Black Crow, I have another question."
Xia Feng had awakened such an outrageous Spiritual Artifact, and Lady Black Crow's demeanor was unconsciously much more favorable than before. She spoke softly, "What is it?"
"Since your Evil Dragon Space can activate Spiritual Artifacts, does it have the function to enhance them?" Xia Feng's eyes twinkled.
"...figure it out yourself, don't come to me for everything," Lady Black Crow gave him a roll of her eyes, "The Evil Dragon Space can only help with awakening; it has no other utility. If you want to improve your Spiritual Artifact's abilities, either grasp them in life-or-death battles or find the corresponding attribute Stone Dissolving."
Stone Dissolving had the capability to enhance the power of Spiritual Artifacts.
Among them, the Attributeless Stone Dissolving was only capable of temporarily perfecting the Spiritual Artifact, and thus it was cheaper—typically 200,000 each, akin to an adrenaline booster for the arena.
As for the Stone Dissolving with actual attributes, you couldn't just buy it on the market, after all, it had the ability to permanently perfect the Spiritual Artifact.
For example, his Divine Mirror Platform belonged to the element of water, having only activated the copying function so far, which meant the remaining optimizations and 'removal of the fake to retain the true' could be temporarily activated by an Unsolvable Stone. If he could find a Water Solving Stone, then it could be permanently activated.
The problem was that Water Solving Stones were particularly rare, usually only appearing at auctions, and as soon as one emerged, it would be purchased for tens of millions or even over a hundred million Empire Coins.
"Indeed, poor people really can't afford the Spirit Master profession." Xia Feng mentally scoffed, but suddenly, he changed his expression and clutched his heart.
Thump thump thump—thump thump thump—
Xia Feng glanced at the woman on the Divine Throne and turned back, signaling, "Shall I go absorb today's portion?"
Lady Black Crow snapped back to reality, nodded, "Go ahead."
Just like the last time, Xia Feng made his way unobstructed through the terrifying Evil Power field, his heartbeat quickening as he drew closer, unable to suppress the trembling of his legs as he walked—not out of fear, but an overexcited shiver.
Evil Dragon Miss sat as before, her divine eyes lowered gracefully, under her brow marked with a dark gold cross, her face half-transformed dragon scale and half devastating beauty—a blend of eerie and sacred.
Standing firm, Xia Feng leaned down and gently lifted her chin, drawing his lips half an inch away to take in a deep breath, the rich black flow instantly weaving into his mouth through his thin lips.
Lady Black Crow stood on a tree branch, watching the bizarre scene unfold, her vertical pupils glowing ominously.
She had originally thought it strange enough that Xia Feng could ignore the influence of Its Evil Power Field, but now he had also awakened the Alpha.
She still couldn't see through this human named Xia Feng.
However, she had come to understand one thing: the outside world would probably undergo a drastic change... With myriad thoughts, Lady Black Crow withdrew her gaze from the Divine Throne and slowly closed her eyes.

[Remaining Activity: 12 days, 5 hours]
Having added another seven days to his life, he didn't have to worry about his vitality for the time being; however, he was still far from fully repairing the Evil Demon Heart and acquiring new abilities.
It seemed he would need to quickly raise his Spiritual Pressure level, which would not only extend the time his soul could exist outside his body, but also increase the amount of Evil Power he could absorb in a single instance.
Thinking this, Xia Feng, satisfied with his progress during the Sage's time, left the Evil Dragon Space.
His soul returned to his body, and he looked around; the laboratory was dim, and the Array pattern on the floor had long since disappeared.
After quickly putting the tables and chairs back in place, he hurried out of the classroom.
Yan Xujia looked up at the distant luxurious villa.
The flamboyantly dressed woman behind him chuckled lowly, "The information says this is the home of a girl named Mo Gugu, Xia Feng has been staying here since last night and hasn't returned home."
Hearing this, Yan Xujia shook his head with a wry smile, "This fool, thinking he can hide from me here? Let's go."
With a wave of his hand, he took his followers and quickly set off.
"Eh, Brother Yan~ wait for me~" The woman pouted and hurried to the front with small, quick steps.
However, as they turned the corner, a pair of luminous, vertical, green pupils lit up in the darkness, 'Ah!!!' The woman screamed and inadvertently stepped back, slipping and landing smack on the ground, her face pale as a sheet.
But as the street light flickered on, everyone could finally see the owner of those vertical pupils – it was just a white Persian cat.
"Blue, Blue—don't run away." Mushroom gasped for breath, crouching in front of the Persian cat to scoop it into her arms, complaining, "Really, I've ordered takeaway, the cat food will arrive soon~"
The crisp sound of heels clicking on the pavement echoed; a pair of bright red high-heeled shoes appeared in the corner of her eye, and Mushroom looked up in confusion.
The heavily made-up woman looked down imperiously, her brows furrowing as she said in an irritated tone, "Is this your cat?"
Seeing a stranger, Mushroom became instantly tense. She pursed her lips and nodded sheepishly, "Yes, that's... right."
"Your cat scared me," the woman said with a frown.
"Sorry, sorry, Blue didn't mean it," Mushroom replied, somewhat flustered.
"Xia Feng lives at your place, right?"
Yan Xujia stepped forward, glancing at the door behind Mushroom, "Call him out. He's had enough time to understand what's at stake."
Mushroom snapped back to reality, realizing their intent, her body tensed up and her face flushed with anger as she clenched her fists and glared at the man and woman before her.
Yan Xujia's gaze narrowed slightly; he disliked that look, a cold smile forming as he was about to instruct the woman to teach this little one a lesson.
However, Mushroom, with her hair sticking up erectly, suddenly bowed her head and muttered softly, "Okay."
As she said this, Mushroom pulled out her phone, her fingers trembling, and typed out a few words faster than she ever had before.
[Mushroom hates Potato: Don't come back yet, Yan Xujia is here]
But just as she pressed send, a slender hand painted with bright red nail polish suddenly reached out and snatched it away—
"Give it back to me!!" Mushroom turned pale, jumping up to snatch it back.
However, she was too short, and the woman held her by the forehead, handing the phone over to Yan Xujia with a coquettish giggle, "Brother Yan~ this little tyke is getting cheeky."
Yan Xujia took the phone and glanced at it; his expression darkened as he looked at Mushroom coldly, "Slap her."
The woman grabbed Mushroom's hair with one hand, a smile on her face, her right hand, painted with bright red nail polish, raised high once again.
