Chapter 266: Grandmaster Gets Instantly Bullied
Damian watched Violetta’s stunned expression and immediately knew his little surprise had worked.
At the same time, the familiar system screen quietly appeared before his eyes.

The moment Damian read the final notification, his eyes nearly popped out. "Holy shit..."
His mouth slowly stretched into an enormous grin. He had expected something ridiculous.
After all, this was Violetta’s 400x multiplier combined with the sacrifice of an actual King Grade weapon.
Damian had even wondered whether the result might somehow break through into a higher grade.
Yet seeing it actually happen was something else entirely. "Supreme King Grade..."
Damian almost laughed out loud. One had to understand just how absurd that was.
Even Nolan’s ridiculously powerful [Sunfall King Sword] was merely King Grade.
Above ordinary King Grade stood True King Grade. And above even that... Supreme King Grade.
Damian’s eyes gleamed with dangerous satisfaction as he looked at the stunned Violetta, a downright malicious grin spreading across his face.
"Hehehe... Now, if Violetta fights Nolan again, that poor bastard might not even understand how the fuck he died."
Meanwhile, Violetta remained completely focused on her spirit ring. Her normally composed expression had disappeared.
Damian waited for a few breaths before casually waving his hand. "Take it out."
Violetta slowly raised her head. "Master... this thing..."
Damian immediately interrupted her.
"Just fucking take it out first."
Violetta blinked.
She was clearly still overwhelmed by whatever she had sensed inside the ring, but eventually, she nodded. "Alright..."
Her consciousness moved.
A moment later...
HUMMMMM...
An ancient and elegant aura instantly flooded the room.
The pipa slowly emerged from Violetta’s spirit ring and floated silently before her.
Damian’s eyes sharpened.
Compared to the King Grade version he had discovered inside the Sword Tomb, this instrument was on a completely different fucking level.
Its body appeared to have been carved from dark violet jade fused with black celestial wood.
Faint lavender veins flowed across its frame like hidden streams of moonlight, pulsing gently in rhythm with an inaudible melody.
Deep silver-purple strings stretched across its body.
Every string released faint ripples of Music Qi, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to tremble along with them.
Around the instrument, countless tiny violet musical notes drifted through the air like glowing fireflies before silently dissolving into darkness.
Even without attacking, the [Heaven Burial Requiem Pipa] carried an aura that made Damian feel as though a funeral melody could begin at any moment.
Violetta stared at it with trembling eyes. "This..."
Her voice became unsteady.
Damian crossed his arms and proudly lifted his chin. "Supreme King Grade."
Violetta froze again. Her head slowly turned toward him. "Supreme... King Grade?"
Damian nodded as casually as if he had gifted her some ordinary Profound Grade instrument. "Yep. Pretty good, right?"
Violetta stared at him as though she genuinely did not know whether to hug him or ask what kind of monster he actually was.
Before she could say anything, however, the pipa suddenly trembled.
TRIIING...
Both of them immediately turned toward it.
A faint violet mist slowly gathered above the instrument before suddenly turning into a beautiful figure.
The pipa spirit had appeared.
She took the form of an elegant woman dressed in flowing violet-black robes.
Her long violet hair fell almost to her waist, while her proud eyes carried the same graceful arrogance Damian remembered from inside the Sword Tomb.
At first glance, she looked gentle and refined, but a closer look immediately ruined that illusion.
There was still that unmistakable pride in her gaze.
That quiet attitude, which seemed to say everyone around her should naturally understand how fortunate they were to stand in her presence.
Damian’s eyebrow instantly twitched.
"Oh. It’s still fucking her."
Yet something about her felt different.
Although her attitude was mostly the same, a faint blankness would occasionally pass through her eyes, as though certain memories from before the sacrifice had been blurred, shattered, or partially erased.
The pipa spirit looked toward Violetta first.
The cold pride in her expression immediately softened. "You... Are you my master?"
Violetta remained stunned for several seconds. "I..."
Before she could properly respond, however, the spirit suddenly noticed Damian standing nearby.
Her head turned and the warmth vanished almost instantly. "And you are?"
Damian’s mouth twitched.
"Yep. Definitely the same fucking rude instrument."
Damian stared at her for several breaths.
Part of him considered explaining everything, but another part of him hesitated.
He wasn’t sure he wanted her to remember what her true attitude had been like before.
Instead, his expression gradually became shameless. "Me?"
Damian casually pointed toward Violetta. "I’m your master’s master."
Damian proudly placed a hand against his chest and grinned. "So technically... I’m your Grandmaster."
The pipa spirit stared at Damian for several seconds before giving an indifferent shrug. "Is that so? Whatever."
Damian’s mouth twitched.
Without warning, her fingers brushed across the pipa strings.
TRIIING!
A crushing wave of Music Qi slammed into Damian. "WHAT THE?!"
BANG!
His knees hit the floor before he could resist.
The pipa spirit looked down at him coldly. "Whether you’re my master’s master, my Grandmaster, or some heavenly ancestor, I don’t care."
She pointed toward the door. "I don’t like your face. Get out."
Her eyes sharpened. "Or else..."
Damian frowned and tried to rise, only for the pressure to increase. "Damn... okay, okay! I’m fucking leaving. Geez."
Violetta immediately looked embarrassed. "Master, I’m sorry. I’ll discipline her properly."
Damian finally managed to stand and waved dismissively. "Don’t worry about it. Take your time."
He glanced at the [Heaven Burial Requiem Pipa]. "After all, that thing is Supreme King Grade... two entire grades above ordinary King Grade."
Violetta froze as her eyes widened even further. "Two... grades above?"
Damian chuckled and backed toward the door. "Yep."
He waved casually. "Anyway, have fun figuring her out."
The pipa spirit glared at him.
Damian immediately stepped outside. "Alright, alright. Bye-bye!"
