Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 373 Mountain Wind Passes By
Below the giant gate.

Seeing Jiang Jian and Lu Chen approach.

Staff members greeted us with smiles.

"Please show your ID card to verify your identity."

His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was very polite.

Jiang stopped and took out his identity device.

It gently glides across the instrument in the staff's hands.

"Verification successful!"

Lu Chen, who was standing next to him, also passed the verification.

The staff put away the equipment, stepped aside, and said, "Please, both of you, enter the city."

Jiang Jian raised his head and looked at the city gate, which was a hundred meters high, his expression slightly serious.

Behind the city gate was a giant screen of flowing light.

It looks like a teleportation array.

Do not know why.

This enormous light screen gave Jiang Jian a vague sense of crisis.

"What's wrong."

Lu Chen, being perceptive, noticed Jiang Jian's unusual behavior and asked in a deep voice.

Jiang Jian shook his head and said, "It's nothing, let's go."

Lu Chen clearly didn't believe this explanation, but he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he said, "Let's go into the city."

In front of the light curtain.

The candidates, in twos and threes, formed small groups and were queuing to enter.

not far away.

A young man dressed in a seven-colored feather robe walked towards Jiang Jian.

It was Feiyu who was ranked 4th in the points ranking.

"I apologize for my poor attitude just now."

Feiyu stopped, remained silent for a few seconds, and then squeezed out a sentence.

See this scene.

Jiang Jian was slightly surprised and looked up at Fei Yu's back.

Sure enough, he saw a girl in white standing a dozen meters away, smiling at him.

aside.

Lu Chen asked, "Why are you apologizing? What happened?"

Feiyu glanced at him but didn't say anything.

In an instant.

Lu Chen's expression darkened.

Whether on the Earth's surface or elsewhere.

As the young prince of a noble family in the Lingtai realm, he had never been treated with such contempt before.

"Such arrogance! I'd like to see if you have the right to be so disrespectful!"

Lu Chen's tone was slightly cold. His spiritual energy surged around him, turning into a fist and condensing into a blazing gale. He then unleashed a powerful punch at Fei Yu!
He attacked without warning, and his speed was extremely fast!
in a blink.

Fei Yu remained calm and composed. The seven-colored feather robe shone brightly, all of which gathered in his palm. His figure left afterimages as he turned around and struck out with a palm!
Clang!
Fists and palms clashed, producing a resounding clang and shattering sound!
The explosion was deafening, and shockwaves surged forth, sweeping in all directions!
The surrounding air currents became chaotic, scattering into hundreds of colorful fragments of light!
The translucent sound waves rippled out in concentric circles.

This almost alerted all the candidates at the city gate.

At this moment, they all stopped what they were doing and looked in this direction!

Feiyu stood still, withdrew her hand, and remained motionless, her face slightly pale.

Lu Chen took a half step back, his fingers numb and tingling, his face grim.

As the young prince of the Lu family.

At this moment, they were unexpectedly at a disadvantage in front of everyone.

This made him furious, and he could barely control his emotions.

Although the reason for this is partly due to the spirit-suppressing array.

This resulted in Lu Chen's spiritual energy being suppressed by the formation, while Fei Yu's physical strength was minimally affected.

However, the subsequent preparations for the Battle of Wangyue City and the Mercury Operation plan were almost all carried out in a spirit-free environment.

therefore.

Lu Chen didn't make any excuses for himself.

"You're fine."

Lu Chen stared at Fei Yu and said, word by word.

Fei Yu finally looked at him, pondered for a moment, and said, "I am a few years older than you, have cultivated for a few more years, and am currently in the Spirit-Sealing Array, so I am taking advantage of you."

Hear this.

Lu Chen's initially unpleasant expression softened slightly.

Upon hearing the commotion, many prodigies gathered around, ready to see what was going on.

After a tentative exchange, they gained the upper hand.

Fei Yu didn't take advantage of Lu Chen's kindness; instead, she said those words in public, saving face for him.

Unlike ordinary commoners who are destined for greatness, Lu Chen represents not only himself when he goes out, but also the Lu family of the mortal realm.

Under any circumstances, maintaining the reputation of the Lu family is something Lu Chen must do.

"Feiyu, hurry up and come into the city with me."

At this moment, the girl in white hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Feiyu away.

"Fortunately, the Traveling Official has already entered the city, otherwise, if he had seen you taking action without permission, you would certainly have been punished."

As she spoke, her gaze swept over Jiang Jian, and she paused for a moment.

Then, carrying Fei Yu, they went straight into the city gate's light curtain.

Looking at their backs.

Lu Chen sneered and said nothing more.

He was not convinced by these people.

Even knowing that Fei Yu's strength far surpasses that of ordinary lunar prodigies.

But in Lu Chen's heart, he still believed that he was no worse than his opponent.

If the opponent's strength is indeed greater than one's own, even to the point of overwhelming one's strength.

They also believe that one day they will be able to surpass their opponent and trample them underfoot.

This is a belief.

The belief of the strong.

Without this belief.

Even if one becomes a temporary strongman by chance due to other factors.

Sooner or later, they will be brought back to their original state.

If one does not have this belief.

Lu Chen is not qualified to be the young prince of the Lu family.

after all.

The Lu family has two True Monarchs at the Spirit Platform Realm, wields immense power, and has numerous branches and collateral lines.

Lu Chen was able to become the only young prince of the Lu family in such competition.

His natural talent, aptitude, and potential for spiritual cultivation are self-evident.

"Feiyu is no match for you."

Jiang Jian suddenly spoke.

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow and turned his head to look at him: "You really think so?"

Jiang Jian nodded and said, "What I mean is, outside the Spirit-Sealing Array, without any constraints, if you use your trump card, he will lose to you."

Hearing this, Lu Chen seemed to be deep in thought.

He never told anyone his true trump card.

However, Jiang clearly sensed this from his words just now.

Regardless of the degree to which they perceive it, whether it is high or low.

This keen sense of perception is still awe-inspiring.

Lu Chen's regard for Jiang Jian increased once again.

"However, you are no match for Zhao Lingshuang, who is dressed in white."

"This applies both inside and outside the spirit-suppressing array."

Jiang Jian spoke again, "This woman is very well hidden, her cultivation is terrifying, even I dare not easily claim victory." Lu Chen did not refute this, but rather seemed to agree: "I can see through Fei Yu to some extent, but I can't see through Zhao Lingshuang at all."

As a member of the preparation team, he is recognized as an unparalleled genius.

Zhao Lingshuang is indeed very strong.

While the two were talking.

The onlookers had already dispersed and entered the city gate's light curtain one after another.

Suddenly.

Lu Chen activated the protective light barrier, lowered his voice, and asked, "Do you know about the matter concerning the three main executive positions?"

He took out his identity device, swiped his fingers repeatedly, and sent Jiang Jian a document.

"This is classified information and will be released later in the preparation phase."

"I'm sending it to you in advance so you can prepare."

A beep sounds.

The message that Lu Chen forwarded was from the three main executive positions.

Seeing the strange expression on Jiang's face, she still thanked him, saying, "Thank you."

Lu Chen was unaware that he had already received this information from Xu Qingxian and Shen Xi.

But he was willing to risk leaking the message and forward it to me in advance; in any case, it was a token of his goodwill.

"The competition for the chief executive position is extremely difficult."

Lu Chen put away his identity device, his expression solemn. "If we only look at the surface combat strength, Li Wang and Zhao Lingshuang would take up two spots."

"But there are only three main execution positions in total."

"There's simply not enough to go around."

He didn't say the next sentence.

If it's Li Wang and Zhao Lingshuang, then they occupy two of those positions.

Then.

The last position will most likely be chosen from among himself, Jiang Jian, and Fei Yu.

Besides.

The dough is an uncertain factor.

Shang Tianhai also concealed a great deal of strength.

The remaining lunar prodigies may also have a temporary outburst.

but.

Compared to these people.

Lu Chen truly considered Fei Yu and Jiang Jian as his only rivals.

Talking.

Lu Chen had already walked to the front of the light screen; he only needed to take one step to enter it.

His expression showed a hint of worry.

Facing numerous formidable adversaries.

Winning the chief executive position seems like an impossible task.

Lu Chen wasn't confident he could defeat Jiang Jian alone.

Even with the belief of a strong person.

However, faced with this situation, Lu Chen still couldn't act rationally and completely control his emotions.

behind him.

Jiang Jian spoke softly, "Go and fight for it."

Lu Chen was taken aback and turned around: "What did you say?"

Jiang Jian looked at him and said, "If the three main executive positions are allocated based on apparent strength, then we don't need to be observed or compete. Wouldn't it be better if the project team just appointed us directly?"

Lu Chen stared blankly, remaining silent.

Jiang Jiandao said, "The three positions are responsible for different sectors and will jointly guide the operation plan forward."

"The three of them have different responsibilities."

"The required skills are also different."

"The reason why the project team needs to observe for 20 days before selecting the three main executive positions is this."

"I'll take one of the three positions."

Although Jiang Jian's tone was calm, it carried an undeniable certainty.

"You can try your best to compete for the other two positions."

"You'll never know the outcome if you don't try."

The words fell.

Jiang Jian lightly flicked the sleeve of his black robe, took a step forward, and went straight into the giant gate of light.

Lu Chen stood still, his spiritual energy surging around him, and remained motionless for a long time.

Unknowingly.

All the worries that had been in his eyes vanished.

Instead, there is an even stronger belief!
"As the young prince of the Lu family, how can I be inferior to others!"

Lu Chen raised his head and strode into the city gate's light screen.

Li Wang, Zhao Lingshuang, and others are not only exceptionally talented, but also possess accumulated experience and formidable strength.

Feiyu, Tuanmi, and others all have the competitive advantages.

During this period, I was under psychological pressure.

Deep down, Lu Chen had always felt anxious.

My momentary loss of composure was also related to this.

But at this moment.

for these.

Lu Chen was no longer anxious.

Upon hearing Jiang Jian's words, he cast aside all distracting thoughts.

Deep in my mind, only one thought remained.

Use every means at your disposal and expend all your energy to fight for a chief executive position, so as not to tarnish the Lu family's reputation!

……

……

……

The foothills of Wangyue Mountain.

This is a huge, flat open space.

Forty houses, arranged from low to high, are built against the mountain and surround the open space.

It forms a ring-shaped building complex.

At first glance, it looks like a spiral staircase magnified a hundred times.

These houses were built very tall.

The highest house is right next to the Wangyue Mountain cliff; you can reach the summit with just a gentle step.

The houses at the lowest point are located at the foot of the mountain, on the edge of an open space.

The height difference between the two is several hundred meters.

At this time.

Below the cliff.

House No. 03.

Jiang Jian sat on the ground with the doors and windows wide open.

A cold mountain wind howled, blowing into the room and slightly lifting the robes.

"According to the notification from the identification device, the formal preparation training will begin tomorrow morning."

"But the observation by the project preparation team should have started the moment they entered this place."

Thoughts are surging.

Jiang Jian gently closed her eyes and began to cultivate quietly.

Please provide your shipping address.

After entering "House No. 03".

He was waiting for the goods to arrive so that he could prepare resources for the Third Realm.

If we can roughly complete the preparation of the resources for the Divine Palace Realm tonight...

Our overall strength will be greatly enhanced once again!
