"Deal! You can see how much I've improved in my recent cultivation!"
Leah beamed with excitement. She'd been diligently cultivating recently.
Shannon nodded as her fingers formed a mudra. As she channeled her spiritual energy to activate the paper figures, she infused each with a trace of supernatural energy to bring them to life.
Benji Gold poked its head out a little and watched the new paper figures wide-eyed.
"Want to lead the squad?" Shannon asked.
Benji Gold bobbed its head eagerly as its body shimmered with dazzling golden light.
Once both sides were set and ready, Shannon waved her hand. Benji Gold and its squad of paper figures, along with Leah, shot into the forest like arrows from a bowstring.
Shannon took her time to stroll into the forest. She retrieved her phone and stuck a superior talisman to the screen. A detailed map displaying the paper figures' movements soon appeared.

On the other side, the production crew split the guests into pairs and sent them off from the village.
No one knew if it was by coincidence or deliberate matchmaking by the crew, but Cale and Eddie were assigned as partners.
The fox deity possessing Cale had left after enjoying a round of snacks.
Retaining full consciousness during the possession, Cale knew what he'd done and had remained silent ever since. He occasionally cast scrutinizing glances at Eddie with a doubtful expression.
Their split-screen livestream soon became popular. Viewers eagerly anticipated what chemistry the fake and true deity apprentices would have.
A capable young mystic master like her should be teaming up with someone powerful like himself.
As this thought crossed his mind, Cale sensed something and sharply turned his gaze forward.
At the same time, Bella picked up on it as well. She pulled out a talisman and recited a spell at lightning speed, "Whispered breeze, heed my call. Swiftly carry, rise and enthrall."
Her partner, Olivia, whipped her head around in shock upon hearing the chant. The talisman and the spell rang a bell.
It was the same case for viewers in the livestream. They identified it as the zephyr glide talisman Shannon had used.
Sure enough, as Bella completed the incantation, a gust of wind rose from beneath her feet. She was instantly carried forward, riding the breeze with impressive speed.
