Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 381 Star Vortex
"Star Ring Boundary, Azure Frost".

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes as he looked at the girl in the green dress.

next moment.

Lu Chen turned to look at Jiang Jian and replied, "Okay."

He understood Jiang Jian's personality.

Therefore, no further questions were asked.

In Lu Chen's view.

Jiang Jianping's words are almost always purposeful; he rarely speaks without a clear purpose.

This time, Jiang Jian spoke up, clearly indicating that he should challenge Qing Shuang.

Although no reason was given, there must have been other considerations involved.

"The opponent I have chosen is..."

"Star Ring Boundary, Azure Frost".

Lu Chen strode forward and looked up at the female inspector.

Wang Anran nodded and said, "Go into the venue and wait."

Tens of meters away.

Under the watchful eyes of many prodigies.

The girl in the green dress, carrying a long sword, also entered the arena.

at the same time.

The dough, which had been sitting in the corner, walked over to Jiang Jian and spoke in a deep voice.

"I will challenge you later."

Hear sounds.

Jiang Mian's expression darkened slightly, and she turned her head to look at the dough.

He had always been wary of this person.

Dough, after all, isn't from Earth.

Instead, like the Linjiang Divine Envoy and Yinyin, they are members of the Xingluo Clan from the Xingluo Sea.

The dough didn't flinch, its pupils gleaming with starlight, and said, "Of the three main executive positions, the surface world must secure one. That's my mission."

Jiang smiled coldly and said, "Have you forgotten that I also come from the surface world?"

The dough said confidently, "With your abilities, you won't get the chief executor position."

Jiang saw that he was too lazy to argue with him and stopped talking.

The dough, however, persisted, stepping forward and saying, "Li Wang is close to the Divine Platform Realm; he must have a place among the three chief executive positions."

"Zhao Lingshuang has awakened the Moon Realm Divine Power and is incredibly strong. She also deserves a place."

"That leaves only one empty seat."

Speaking of it.

The dough's expression held a hint of pride.

"To tell you the truth, I'm here on a mission from Tianjing."

“You can’t hold onto this house number 03, so you might as well let me use it. I’ll fight for a spot for the surface world.”

Hear this.

Jiang Jian felt a little disgusted, but his face remained calm. He said, "You were beaten like a dead dog in the four-person melee and only made it into the top 40 by giving away points with strawberries. How dare you ask me for a room now?"

The dough's expression changed, and it said, "My trump card is of utmost importance and needs to be saved for a critical moment, so I will not use it easily."

Jiang saw that she didn't want to waste words with him and said coldly, "Get lost."

He didn't understand why the central government in Tianjing would send such a person over.

The three of them: dough, strawberries, and yams.

The character traits he displayed were not good.

But for the sake of the central government in Tianjing.

Jiang Jian thought he had been quite polite.

"Jiang Jian, are you going to betray the surface world?!"

The dough's expression grew even uglier. "Are you forcing me to challenge you, to fight to the death so that someone else can benefit?"

Jiang Jian turned his head and stared coldly at him, saying, "So why don't you challenge Fei Yu, or Zhao Ling Shuang?"

"Because you know you're not strong enough to be their match."

"so."

"You just came to me expecting me to admit defeat and give you the room to cultivate in?"

Jiang Jian chuckled lightly, but her eyes were as cold as ice. "I can only tell you, dream on."

"Room 03, come and get it yourself if you want it."

"But you must remember, as someone sent by the surface world, if you dare to challenge me, you'll only make a fool of yourself."

"From this moment on, I will no longer regard you as a member of the local community."

The words fell.

Jiang Jian flicked his sleeves and left.

Only Tuan Tuan remained, her face ashen, standing alone, lost in thought.

He was not confident of victory against Jiang Jian either.

otherwise.

He wouldn't come here specifically to bring up the Tianjing Central Government in front of Jiang Jian, revealing his desire to compete for the chief executive position, thus implying that Jiang Jian would admit defeat.

At this time.

The battle on the field has already been decided.

Qing Shuang, who had been like a god of death in the four-person melee, was now running out of steam and was at a disadvantage in the battle.

See this scene.

Many of the onlookers, including the young prodigies, exchanged puzzled glances.

Everyone here has a very sharp eye.

In their view, Qing Shuang was clearly holding back.

Judging from the strength that Qing Shuang demonstrated in the early stages.

Even if they couldn't crush Lu Chen, they definitely wouldn't have been beaten like this.

just.

Qing Shuang's identity is that of a low-status being in the Star Ring Realm.

Lu Chen, on the other hand, is the young prince of a family at the Spirit Platform Realm.

In this situation.

Lu Chen's victory is entirely justifiable.

Many people have even begun to speculate in secret.

Besides Qing Shuang, who else is Lu Chen's "insider" under the Lu family's arrangement?

nowadays.

The house ranking competition is just the first stage of preparation.

Faced with Lu Chen's background as a member of the Lingtai family.

Many people tacitly understand this and will give each other some face, rather than saying it out loud on the spot.

"Lu Chen wins."

"The two will swap houses!"

As Lu Chen walked out of the venue, the female inspector raised her identification device and spoke loudly.

A few onlookers clapped sporadically.

Amidst differing gazes.

Lu Chen's expression was solemn as he strode up to Jiang Jian and stopped.

Jiang Jian glanced at him, stretched out the sleeve of his black robe, pointed to the girl in the green dress in the distance, and said directly, "10 Heart Coral".

Lu Chen was taken aback, then his expression became complicated, and he fell silent without saying a word.

Some things don't need to be explained too clearly.

Jiang Jian stopped speaking, but instead focused his gaze on the dough at the edge of the arena.

In front of female inspector Wang Anran.

The dough is looking at the leaderboard, ready to choose its opponent.

His gaze lingered on Jiang Jian for a long time.

In the end, it was moved.

Although the mission objective given to him by the Tianjing Central Government was to help the surface world obtain a main executive position at all costs.

You can get it yourself, or help other geniuses from the surface world get it.

The mission is considered complete as long as one spot is occupied in the surface area.

But even in the dough, there is still selfishness.

Although he knew very well that Jiang Jian's strength was no less than his own.

But Tuanmu still thought that she should take the lead in execution, rather than help Jiang Jian.

This is the act of using oneself as a foil to highlight others.

The dough, from the bottom of his heart, did not want to do it. Just now, he had falsely conveyed the imperial edict from Tianjing, changed the wording, and tried to use his power to pressure Jiang Jian into giving up the house, but was met with a ruthless refusal.

This ignited a fire of anger within the dough.

despite this.

He still retained the most basic rationality.

After being rejected previously.

At this moment, it would be absolutely unwise to rashly challenge Jiang Jian.

Here, though far away in the Ice Palace on the Moon, at the foot of Wangyue Mountain.

But the central hub of Tianjing, as the power center on Earth's surface, is not blind or deaf.

The dough knew that if it were to let its emotions control it, it might actually do such a thing.

The Tianjing authorities will immediately realize that their actions violated the sole objective of "helping the surface world gain the dominant executive position," and will take decisive measures accordingly.

The consequences would be unimaginable by then.

"The opponent I have chosen is..."

The dough slowly spoke, its voice slightly hoarse, "7th place, Star Vortex."

The female inspector raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure?"

at the same time.

Upon hearing the dough's choice, the surrounding geniuses all found it somewhat amusing.

"This guy's gone mad."

"Although Xingxuan is slightly inferior to Zhao Lingshuang, she is still a seasoned prodigy of the Divine Palace Realm, yet she was treated like an easy target!"

"People from the surface world have very strange ways of doing things."

"This person is like this, and so is the Lord of Yinshan."

"Oh, right, there's also the young prince of the Lu family, tsk tsk."

"In my eyes, these people from the surface world are as conspicuous as a campfire in the dark night."

"Xingxuan is beautiful, but she has a bad temper. This is going to be interesting."

Amid the murmurs of the crowd.

Only one girl in a star-patterned robe stepped forward from the crowd, her face icy cold: "You're really courting death!"

Previously.

The dough's performance has always been unremarkable.

In the four-person melee, he was easily kicked off the stage by Li Wang with three punches and two kicks.

Nobody cares about candidates of this caliber.

If it weren't for the strawberry giving away points.

With the dough's score, it wouldn't even make it into the top 40.

"Please enter the venue."

Wang Anran activated the identity device, and the barrier light screen was lifted.

The girl in the star-patterned robe took a step forward, passing through the light barrier first. She turned around and stared coldly at the dough.

Unconcerned, the dough walked into the arena under the watchful eyes of everyone and stopped opposite the girl in the star-patterned robe.

"Who gave you the audacity to choose me as your opponent?"

Xingxuan spoke in a cold voice, her delicate hand gently stroking the surface. The dazzling starlight reflected off her and transformed into a long sword, sharp and cold.

Being challenged by this person from the surface world in full view of everyone made her feel extremely slighted.

therefore.

Xingxuan made up her mind to teach this person a lesson.

Opposite her.

The dough sneered, "You dare to play with starlight in front of me?"

As a member of the Star Luo Clan.

What dough excels at is harnessing the power of starlight!
On the open ground at the foot of the mountain, a battle was about to break out!
At this time.

Edge of the venue.

Lu Chen withdrew his gaze, finally unable to hold back any longer, and spoke.

"Ten Heart Coral can be given to her."

"How could someone from the Star Ring Realm be this strong!"

The person he was referring to was Qing Shuang.

During the fight just now.

Lu Chen was horrified to discover that the spiritual energy of this girl in the green dress was like a roaring, surging ocean, almost to the point of suffocation!
Although he ultimately won.

But Lu Chen knew very well.

All of this was because Qing Shuang released water.

The reality before him was hard for Lu Chen to accept.

They encountered Li Wang, Zhao Lingshuang, and others.

It's one thing if I'm a bit weaker than them.

after all.

The Moon Realm is thriving, and the Moon Prayer Palace provides substantial support to ordinary people who are destined for greatness.

These individuals are exceptionally talented, and with resources no less than their own, it's understandable that they've reached this level of cultivation.

However, Lu Chen, as the young prince of the Lu family, was once again outshone by the nameless girl from the Star Ring Realm.

This gave rise to an indescribable sense of frustration deep within him.

"Since I opened the Divine Palace when I was seventeen years old, I have been cultivating for five years."

Lu Chen murmured softly, his pupils somewhat unfocused, "Night Ancestor once said that the Lu family is getting worse with each generation, but I have never accepted that."

"From the Divine Blessing Realm to the Spring of Life Realm, then to the Earth Moon Academy, and finally to the Divine Palace of Breakthrough Realm."

"It only took me four years."

"Getting the position of the young prince was the most triumphant moment of my life."

Lu Chen smiled wryly, "It's one thing that two freaks appeared in the Moon Realm during this preparation for war in Wangyue City."

"but now."

“Even people I’ve never even heard of in the Star Ring Realm can outshine me.”

"That makes me feel..."

"All my cultivation over the past five years has gone to waste on dogs."

beside him.

Jiang Jian held the Spirit Stone, cultivating while watching the battle between the dough and the star vortex.

Hearing Lu Chen's self-talk.

Jiang Jian's expression was strange, but he did not reveal Qing Shuang's identity.

In his opinion.

Lu Chen's strength is not bad.

Among these outstanding talents, he is certainly among the top 5.

Lu Chen's biggest problem is that he has too little experience, his heart is not strong enough, and he often doubts himself.

There's no use in telling others about this kind of thing; he has to figure it out for himself.

this circumstance occurs.

This is related to the way the Lu family educates their descendants.

The atmosphere within the Lu family is very peaceful, with very little internal strife.

This also leads to.

Although the younger generation of the Lu family has received various kinds of education, they lack practical experience in dealing with situations and are more inclined to talk the talk but not walk the walk.

opposite of this.

What impressed Jiang Jian was.

On the contrary, it is the legitimate son of Chunxiao, the false ruler, in the terrestrial realm.

Head of the Seventh Section of the Tianjing Police Department.

Fan Sichun.

These families that falsely claim to rule are rife with internal power struggles.

Either you die or I live.

Although the process was somewhat brutal.

But the ultimate victor possesses immense inner strength and is truly capable of shouldering the burdens of the family.

Neither educational approach is inherently better or worse; each has its own advantages and disadvantages depending on the specific circumstances.

The Lu family, with two True Monarchs at the Spirit Platform Realm, possesses immense power and faces no external threats.

Therefore, he is able to remain calm and unhurried, treat younger generations with great tolerance, and is not harsh in his education.

The Fan family, however, is merely a family that acts as a puppet ruler. If they are not careful, they will be squeezed out by external forces and lose their space to survive.

therefore.

The heirs needed by such a pseudo-ruler family must be strong individuals who have fought their way up in fierce competition.
