Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 367 When I left, the willows were swaying.

Chapter 367 When I left, the willows were swaying.
"Do you think you've already beaten me?"

Duan Ming's face was gloomy as he stared at Jiang Jian.

The wooden staff in his hand coiled up and transformed into a pair of emerald green gauntlets.

Jiang Jian put aside his thoughts for the moment, looked up at Duan Ming, and had a strange expression.

The moon's pride glared at him angrily, as if he had some deep-seated grudge against him.

that's the truth.

In the fiercely competitive lunar realm.

Respect for the strong is a lesson everyone must learn.

If someone feels that they have not received the respect they deserve.

Then.

They have every reason to seek revenge.

"Liu Wen's physical body is only slightly stronger than mine."

Duan Ming's face was icy cold, his fists flashed with fluorescent green light, and he moved rapidly, rushing towards Jiang Jian!

Jiang Jian watched the approaching punch without dodging or avoiding it. Instead, he raised his Han Guang sword, frantically channeling his spiritual energy into it, and unleashed a horizontal slash!
The Frost and Snow Longsword emitted a piercing whistle, and bursts of blazing white flames.

Where the sword tip slashed.

A sharp sword aura, capable of tearing through everything, roared out!

Keng!
A rainbow pierced the sun, stretching for hundreds of meters.

It slammed down hard on Duan Ming's fist!
The sword energy swirled and fell, scattering frost-white light!
Click!

The wooden staff that had transformed into gauntlets shattered instantly!

A burst of emerald green fluorescence filled the sky!

A cracking sound came from Duan Ming's palm.

The hand bones were shattered on the spot by the residual force!

His entire body was struck by the aftershocks of the sword energy.

Without even uttering a sound, he was swept into the white rainbow vortex, blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and he crashed heavily against the side wall!

"Honestly."

Jiang Jian walked closer, sword in hand, and said softly.

"Liu Wen's physical strength is much stronger than yours."

"He could have easily taken that sword strike just now."

In front of him.

Duan Ming lay on the ground, writhing in excruciating pain, barely breathing, his lips twitching but unable to utter a sound.

at the same time.

Outside the barrier of light, among the spectators.

Liu Wen watched this scene with a complicated expression.

Beside him, a young girl said, "Now it seems that your defeat to this person was not unjust."

As before, Liu Wen wore a hooded black coat and spoke in a hoarse voice: "Jiang Jian's strength is very likely to be at the same level as Fei Yu."

The girl was taken aback, then gently shook her head and said, "That's a bit of an exaggeration. Although this person is strong, he shouldn't be that strong."

Liu Wen smiled and said nothing more.

He and Jiang Jian had a real fight.

Jiang Jianzai was very clear about the combat power he could unleash in an instant.

Feiyu is a member of the Earth Moon race.

He was with Li Wang and Zhao Lingshuang.

These are the three most terrifying people in this year's Lunar Academy.

The strength of these three individuals presents a terrifying, precipitous lead.

Fei Yu alone can easily crush several geniuses of the same level!

His cultivation level has reached this point.

Each additional person of similar ability...

The greater the gap in combat, the better.

Against ordinary living beings, fighting one against many is nothing.

But among geniuses of the same level.

It can fight against many opponents.

It represents only four characters.

Unparalleled talent!

This one-against-many battle is not the same as the four-person melee where everyone was wary of each other during the previous selection process.

Instead, it was a group of outstanding talents working together to besiege one person!
Even Li Wang, Fei Yu and others.

Facing a prodigy like Liu Wen.

Even at full power, one can only handle four to five at a time.

To be able to do this, their strength is already terrifying!
The higher the cultivation level.

The greater the difference in numbers, the more pronounced it becomes.

Shen Xi, having forged an unparalleled divine palace, gazed upon the divine altar.

He alone could hold off dozens of people at the second level of the Divine Palace Realm.

However, if Shen Xi were to fight against other geniuses of the same level, such as Xu Qingxian and Li Yingying, etc.

Even fighting two opponents at once is incredibly difficult!

The slightest mistake could lead to a crushing defeat!
This is also why Earth and Mars have always been weak.

Of the two planets.

Beings in the Spirit Platform Realm are extremely rare.

Divine Platform Realm, False Ruler Realm.

Even if these two factors are numerous, they cannot demonstrate the true power of a planet.

The only standard for measuring the strength of a planet.

It refers to the number of True Monarchs at the Spirit Platform Realm within a planet.

"Jiang Jian wins."

Xu Qingxian gently flicked his Taoist robe, his tone remaining calm.

The barrier light curtain opened in response, revealing a tall entrance.

The other prodigies watching were not surprised by Duan Ming's defeat, since they already knew that Jiang Jian had defeated Liu Wen.

just.

Many of them were somewhat surprised by Jiang Jian's methods.

Its sword energy was extremely fierce and deadly.

The intensity of the attack even caused these prodigies to briefly forget that they were fighting within the Moon Gazing Spirit Forbidden Array.

"Walking Master".

Jiang Jian walked out through the doorway.

He stopped in front of Xu Qingxian and bowed.

The young man in the Taoist robe chuckled and said gently, "No need for formalities."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Remember what I told you."

Seeing the serious expression on Jiang's face, he replied, "Yes."

Xu Qingxian is a genuine being from the Divine Platform Realm.

Although it cannot compare to the golden words of a True Monarch in the Spirit Platform Realm.

However, one's words and actions also require careful consideration of each word and phrase.

No word should be taken lightly.

The struggle for the three main executive positions.

Xu Qingxian emphasized this twice.

This shows that this matter is extremely important!

Jiang Jianfu returned to his position.

A notification sound came from the identification device.

It's news from Shen Xi.

Jiang Jian turned on the privacy mode and opened the communication.

A text message appeared before me.

"If the operation plan is ultimately successful."

"The three main executive positions can secure access to the core resources of the Imperial Star Palace."

"I greeted Xu Qingxian."

"If you perform well, he will be more lenient with you during the task allocation and review process."

See here.

Jiang Jian's emotions were churning.

Shen Xi and I don't have much interaction.

but.

Everything related to him is crucial.

From the Earth-Moon Academy to the Dragon Palace of the Sea.

Then proceed to the Guanxi Pavilion in the Imperial Star Palace.

Shen Xi's help to me can be described as wholehearted and meticulous.

Although this is partly due to Shen Xi's cultivation of a power structure.

But Jiang Jian knew very well.

In any case, I benefited greatly from his help.

This bond of kinship must be kept in our hearts.

Shen Xi's message, besides reminding Jiang Jian to compete for the chief executive position, also served to...

It also comes with some secrets.

Most of these messages were related to operational plans.

One hundred outstanding talents were divided into two groups.

They will remain on the moon for 20 days to prepare for war.

During these 20 days.

The project team and its leader will make preparations based on observations and collected information.

The specific roles of these 100 prodigies in the battle plan were determined.

The first group of 60 people were sent to the underwater base for auxiliary training.

The second group of 40 people is the main focus of the operation.

After going to Mercury.

The things these people are responsible for are all important branches of the operational plan.

The three main executive positions are the core of the core.

These three individuals, while stationed on Mercury, are required to oversee the execution of the operational plan from the highest level.

In communication.

Shen Xi mentioned Shen Qingchan.

Jiang Jian's heart skipped a beat.

When leaving the Dragon Palace, Jiang Jian had speculated about the relationship between Shen Qingchan and Shen Xi.

That was back then.

Jiang Jian chose to ignore it and did not show it.

He had a vague suspicion.

Shen Xi's century-long confinement of the Second Realm was definitely not without reason.

What he is plotting must be something significant.

Shen Qingchan is very likely related to this.

This remains true even now.

Jiang Jian did not reveal the real reason why Shen Qingchan applied for a household registration transfer.

Currently, the Imperial Star Palace controls the power over two planets.

In his capacity as the inspector of Guanxi Pavilion.

With just a word, Shen Qingchan could leave the Second Realm and become a true citizen of Earth.

But whenever Jiang saw this place, she would think of Shen Xi.

They would all temporarily put aside this idea.

Shen Qingchan's "Weaving Fate" supernatural power.

It is very important to me.

But if Shen Xi's purpose in staying in the Second Realm is truly Shen Qingchan.

Once I open my mouth...

That would alert the enemy and expose oneself to the light of day.

therefore.

Jiang Jian had been slowly testing the waters.

For example, send the paper figure Qingfeng to the Second Realm to deliver something to Shen Qingchan, thus demonstrating a close relationship between them.

For example, he could give his sword to Shen Qingchan so that she could protect herself temporarily.

All these.

In reality, it was all done for Shen Xi's benefit.

At this moment.

The instant I saw the communication.

Jiang Jian knew immediately.

His attempt was not in vain.

"If you manage to secure the chief executor position and complete the battle plan, bringing honor to Guanxi Pavilion, I will allow her to leave the Second Realm on the day we return to Earth."

Shen Xi's words were placed below the battle plan.

At first glance, it looks very abrupt.

The "she" in the text was not given any name.

But Jiang saw it clearly.

Shen Xi, who wrote the letter, was equally clear about it.

She refers to Shen Qingchan.

Thinking about it.

Jiang Jian brought up the holographic screen and typed out a reply.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Pavilion Master."

"I will do my best to handle matters related to the chief executive."

After clicking send.

Jiang Jian turned off his identity device and looked at the people in front of him.

They had been waiting here for a few minutes.

Seeing that he was sending an identity message in privacy mode, he refrained from disturbing him.

"I have long admired the Lord of Yinshan in the Earth's Surface Realm."

Seeing that Jiang Jian had some free time, the leading youth extended his hand with a smile, "I am Mu Santu from the Moon Realm's Wood Capital Prefecture. I'd like to get to know you."

"I've long admired you" is, of course, a polite expression.

But this person's goodwill was very obvious.

Jiang Jian reached out and shook hands, returning the gesture with a smile: "Hello."

In his perception, the Wood Three Earth Spiritual Aura was violent and its strength was very strong.

He is not much different from Liu Wen, the body-refining fanatic.

Mu Santu stepped aside, revealing several people behind him: "These are my friends, who will soon be participating in the core plan for the top 40."

Several people stepped forward one after another to greet Jiang Jian.

"Hello, Jiang Jian."

"I have long admired the Lord of Yinshan."

……

Jiang responded to each of them and exchanged identity device information with each of them.

At this time.

Lu Chen also finished his battle and walked over here.

Mu Santu smiled and said, "Since your friend is back, we won't disturb you any longer. During the preparation period, we can look out for each other."

Jiang replied, "Of course it's possible."

The words fell.

After saying goodbye, Mu Santu and the others left.

"What's wrong with these people?"

Lu Chen stopped and looked at the backs of Mu Santu and the others with a puzzled expression.

Jiang Jiandao said, "They are all geniuses from the Moon Realm, and their strength is quite good."

Lu Chen said in a low voice, "When they saw me, they immediately avoided me, clearly unwilling to talk to me."

After a pause, he said again, "If I hadn't come back, they definitely wouldn't have left, and they probably would have talked to you a little longer."

Hear this.

Jiang frowned slightly but remained silent.

Lu Chen is of noble birth, being the young prince of a family at the Spirit Platform Realm.

This means.

The person who holds this title.

He is the only junior member of his clan who is recognized by a True Monarch of the Spirit Platform Realm.

This title is even recognized by the four realms of Earth and Moon.

Wherever it is placed, it enjoys many privileges.

But that's precisely why.

Lu Chen has very few friends.

You could even say he has almost no friends.

His peers and relatives all treated him with utmost respect and dared not speak to him easily.

Only Lu Qingqing, because of their close blood ties and because she was his elder cousin, would make him feel a little more relaxed.

even so.

Lu Qingqing would often tease Lu Chen with the title "Little Prince".

"Jiang Jian, tell the truth."

"Do I seem difficult to get along with?"

Lu Chen said in a low voice.

Jiang Jian was silent for a moment, then said, "You were indeed very cold when we first met."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's expression darkened slightly.

But the next moment.

Jiang Jian said softly, "But after spending time with you, I feel that you are a very sincere person. It's just that you are used to pretending in front of strangers."

Lu Chen's body trembled.

He was only two years older than Jiang Jian.

They lack both age and experience.

Although he received a strict education from a young age, he is cunning and learned to be two-faced early on.

But often, they still reveal their true emotions.

"I've gotten used to not having any friends."

Lu Chen turned his head to the side and said self-deprecatingly.

"Xu Gaoshan is one."

"You should count as one too."

He turned to look at Jiang Jian, his tone hesitant, "Does it count?"

Jiang looked calm and nodded gently.

The Lu family has treated me well.

The paper figures of Qingfeng and Mingyue were gifts from Lu Ye Zhenjun.

These two are guardian demons of the Divine Palace Realm.

It was of great help to me some time ago.

This time I'm going to Mercury.

The only things Jiang Jian brought were these two paper figures.

Not a single creature from the Yinshan Wonderland was brought along.

This is certainly due to the fact that paper figures are easy to carry and can be connected to the spirit's aura, allowing for a rapid response when activated.

But more importantly.

These two paper figures are incredibly useful.

Whether it's shifting positions or doing things covertly.

When placed at the right time, they can have unimaginable miraculous effects.

"Thank you."

Lu Chen seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Jiang smiled and said nothing more.

At this time.

All battles have now ended.

The new points rankings are clearly displayed on the screen.

……

"1st place, Lunar Realm Region, Li Wang, 121 points."
