Chapter 183. Digging the Canal (1)

"Wow--"

As dawn broke and Jiang Jianxin lifted the curtain, a ray of golden light slanted across her sword sheath.

She squinted to adjust to the light and realized that her tent was surrounded by a dense cluster of dark tents.

Dozens of men in black robes were patrolling in formation. Their steps were uniform, the soles of their boots making a soft crunching sound as they rolled over the gravel, and the swords at their waists swayed rhythmically with each step.

A thin mist drifted through the camp, casting shadowy shadows on the black robes.

Because she was concerned about the canal dredging, Jiang Jianxin got up very early. She thought there would be no one outside the tent so early, but she didn't expect there to be an early patrol team.

Jiang Jianxin couldn't recognize which faction in Haidu this was, but he noticed that the patrolman at the front suddenly stopped and turned around, the crescent moon embroidered with silver thread gleaming coldly on the chest of the man in black robes.

"Jiang the Giant".

The entire team greeted her in unison, their voices low but clear and synchronized, showing they were well-trained.

Jiang Jianxin felt a little embarrassed because she didn't know which faction this was, nor did she know why these people knew her.

She guessed it might be because she was the top leader of the War faction—and this group of people looked strong and robust, and it seemed that more than half of them were from the War faction.

There is a fanatical worship of strength in the talent world. The top player in each faction is regarded as an idol by the talents of their own faction. If these people are all from the war faction, it is not surprising that they greet her so warmly when they meet her.

Jiang Jianxin was speechless for a moment, and could only nod stiffly with a straight face.

—In the eyes of the crowd, this renowned war giant stood in the morning light, dressed in white, with his arms crossed and a long sword held diagonally in his arms.

Her gaze was exceptionally calm, sweeping over them as if looking at insignificant fallen leaves. She merely gave a slight, cool nod, like frost melting slightly, her aloofness revealing a subtle, almost imperceptible warmth.

The patrol team held their breath, this was the first time they had ever seen a living giant, and its imposing presence was indeed extraordinary.

After nodding slightly, Jiang Jianxin turned around, threw his longsword to the ground, lightly touched the blade with his toes, and leaped up like a swallow, rushing towards the dam.

"Whoosh-"

The morning breeze, carrying the dampness of the river, rushed towards me, with a slightly cool touch.

Jiang Jianxin subconsciously touched his collar, feeling a damp coolness on his fingertips, as if he had been soaked in a thin mist.

She sighed. It was normal for clothes to be constantly damp in the humid climate of the coastal area.

She lowered her clothes, her figure flashing like lightning as she sped towards the Cangjiang River, searching for Yin Ju's whereabouts.

"Jiang Jianxin!"

Jiang Jianxin was riding his sword through the air when he suddenly heard a clear and melodious call from below.

Looking down, she saw a figure leaping up on the vast river, waving vigorously at her.

"Whoosh-"

A snow-white sword flashed through the morning mist, gracefully descending with a biting river breeze.

"Da da……"

The tip of the sword lightly touched the water's surface, creating a ripple.

"You've rested enough already?"

Yin Ju approached, stepping on the shimmering waves, still holding his thermos in his hand.

"It's not a big problem."

Jiang Jianxin couldn't step directly onto the water like Yin Ju, so she landed on the sword and slid down to him.

"I sent some gifts to Sang Xiaoxiao in her live stream last night, and she restored my abilities in return."

Yin Ju sipped his tea thoughtfully and said:

"Sang Xiaoxiao...the talented person who assisted you during the zombie horde?"

Jiang Jianxin nodded.

"It's her."

Last night, she logged onto the Ping An Forum and immediately saw a push notification for the live streaming section, with Sang Xiaoxiao's live stream at the very top.

Having not seen his old partner for a long time, Jiang Jianxin clicked on the link to see how she was doing.

At that time, Sang Xiaoxiao was live-streaming herself eating hot pot. The top-ranked viewer was Xie Yan, but with Jiang Jianxin's financial power, Xie Yan was quickly pushed to second place.

She wasn't angry; instead, she sent Jiang Jianxin a cute little bird emoji peeking out from behind the scenes.

Jiang Jianxin responded with a friendly, happy yellow face. As the rankings soared, Sang Xiaoxiao also noticed the arrival of this special audience member.

Now her live streams are incredibly popular, with her follower count multiplying several times over – more and more people are learning about her story.

After learning about her reasons for starting the live stream and her special ability to "feel no hunger for the whole family," kind-hearted people with good fortune donated generously, and many more people struggling to make ends meet came to her live stream, finding hope for survival.

The poor, unable to give a reward, used likes and comments to try their best to gather popularity for their benefactor.

With the help of various sectors, Sang Xiaoxiao has become a top streamer on the Ping An Forum.

As an insignificant person with no offensive capabilities and practically useless abilities, Sang Xiaoxiao lives in a talent-driven society where strength reigns supreme, yet she achieves a leap from ordinary to extraordinary through her kind heart.

This turning point in her life all began with Jiang Jianxin's casual act of helping her up that day—a kindness she will always remember.

Last night, after helping Jiang Jianxin recover his spiritual power, the two added each other on WeChat. Sang Xiaoxiao solemnly promised, "If you need to restore your abilities, please contact me anytime." This message lay quietly in the chat history, like a promise that could be fulfilled at any time.

Besides learning about Sang Xiaoxiao's current situation, Jiang Jianxin also learned that after Sang Xiaoxiao became famous, journalists wrote several reports to help promote her.

That person's move immediately landed them among the top trending topics, which helped Sang Xiaoxiao become famous again.

Jiang Jianxin and Yin Ju chatted briefly about Sang Xiaoxiao.

The latter wasn't familiar with Sang Xiaoxiao, but nodded in agreement:
"I've watched her live streams; she's a very talented person."

"I remember you once said that someone was fat."

Jiang Jianxin said.

"Hey, I was too naive to understand the reasons back then."

Yin Ju scratched his head and said.

He waved his hand and said:

"Let's not talk about her anymore. It's good that you've recovered. Come on, help me dig the canal. Maybe we can clear the water today."

Jiang Jianxin nodded slightly and stood with his hands behind his back on the sword.

"Om——————"

Amidst the humming of the Tangguang Sword, the longsword carried her slowly into the air, her robes fluttering gently in the morning breeze.

She looked down at the winding river and undulating mountains in the distance, and said to Yin Ju, who stood still on the water:

"Just point the way. I don't know where to start. Wherever you point, I will cut down."

"How long can it be cut?"

Yin Ju looked up and asked.

Jiang Jianxin's expression was calm, but his tone carried an undeniable sharpness:
"Within a radius of ten miles, sword energy can roam freely."

"Then here—"

Yin Ju raised his hand and pointed.

He originally thought that the Sword Master needed to concentrate his mind and gather his energy, or at least perform a sword incantation to activate his power.

But before Jiang Jianxin could even form his sword fingers, a frost-like sword aura pierced the air the instant he raised his hand—

"boom----------"

Wherever the sword energy passed, the mountain rocks were neatly sliced ​​open like tofu.

A five-meter-high, snow-white sword beam tore through the sky, carving a bottomless ravine into the ground.

Amidst the flying debris, the entire mountain groaned under the strain, and cracks spread outwards like a spider web.

Once the dust settled, the once continuous mountain range was revealed to have been carved into a chasm, a deep and long ravine that exuded a chilling aura in the morning light.

Where else?

Sword Master slightly turned his head, looking at him with indifference and focus.

"Boom...boom..."

Yin Ju opened his eyes wide.

He heard his own heartbeat amidst the rushing water, a sound of admiration and submission to absolute power.

The thank you for the monthly pass will be added in tomorrow's daytime update~
