Wu Shattered Star River

Jiang Han and the others returned in defeat, but it didn't cause much of a stir in Heavenly Chaos City.

That's because not every team that goes out to seize an island can win; some teams lose even when defending an island.

The four races are constantly vying for islands and fighting each other every day, so it's normal to have wins and losses.

However, Lü Jian's reputation stank on Sword Demon Peak. More than a hundred people died this time, and the survivors complained everywhere, saying that Lü Jian was arrogant, gave blind commands, and ultimately led to a crushing defeat.

Lü Jian did return alive, though he was seriously injured. He is the grandson of an elder of Sword Demon Mountain, and his talent is indeed strong. He reached the third level of the Celestial Human Realm at the age of twenty-six, otherwise he wouldn't have been on the New Talent List.

When Jiang Han and the others returned, they handed in the corpses. Jiang Han didn't keep all the merit points for himself; he also distributed merit points to Yun He, Yun Tu, and Lin Ye. Of course, Lin Ye got less.

The merit points of the others were all credited to Jiang Han. Jiang Han didn't act polite, as everyone was there to help him reduce his sentence.

Besides, he also needed merit points to see if he could break into the top ten on the merit榜, meet the City Lord of Heavenly Chaos City, and ask about the Goddess Diagram.

Although they were defeated this time, Jiang Han and the others killed many enemies.

Jiang Han himself killed a Reincarnation Realm demon, he cooperated with Bai Li Ju to kill a Reincarnation Realm demon, and he also killed eight or nine Mountain Sea Realm demons, which amounted to a lot of merit points.

However, what made him a little annoyed was…

As a convict, his merit points were halved, which meant that if he wanted to reach the top ten on the merit list, he would have to earn twice as many merit points as ordinary people.

After Jiang Han recorded his merit points at the battle camp, he thought for a while and didn't sign up for the Silver Island capture battle as a team.

Instead, he signed up for the Golden Island capture battle in his own name.

"Are you sure?"

The manager of the battle camp thought Jiang Han had made a mistake and asked, "Golden Island capture battle, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

"Can't individuals sign up?"

Jiang Han blinked. He remembered that Lin Ye had said that individuals could sign up for the Golden Island capture battle.

"Yes, you can!"

The manager looked at Jiang Han as if he were an idiot and said, "You're only at the ninth level of the Mountain Sea Realm. The lowest level of the alien races stationed on Golden Island is the Reincarnation Realm. I suggest you consider it carefully."

"I've considered it carefully!"

Jiang Han nodded very seriously. If he wanted to break into the top ten on the merit list, it would be basically impossible to rely on participating in Silver Island capture battles alone.

Even if he took a team to battle every two days and gained something each time, it would still be difficult to enter the top ten on the merit list.

Moreover, if they fought continuously, he was afraid that Zuo Yiyi, Xiong Jingjing, Qi Bing, and the others would die.

These people came to help him, and if they died here, his conscience would be uneasy for the rest of his life.

So he decided to participate in the Golden Island capture battle in his own name.

The Golden Island capture battle was very intense, and the alien races guarding the island were all strong, but the human race would also send many strong people.

Lin Ye had said that Golden Island generally had one Void Realm expert, ten Celestial Human Realm experts, and the rest were Reincarnation Realm experts. The teams sent by the human race would definitely be in this proportion as well.

So he didn't need to worry about the Void Realm and Celestial Human Realm experts; he just needed to kill Reincarnation Realm experts in the main force.

Two hundred and eighty-nine Reincarnation Realm experts!

That was a pile of merit points! He had the Wind Evasion Technique, the Shape-shifting Shadow, the Flying Ant, the Earth Piercing Technique, and the Dragon Shield.

He believed that as long as he was careful, he would be safe. If he could kill a dozen Reincarnation Realm experts each time, wouldn't his merit points increase rapidly?

Wealth comes from danger!

Jiang Han did this partly to gain more merit points, and partly because he didn't want Zuo Yiyi, Xiong Jingjing, Qi Bing, and the others to take risks.

After all, their realms were too low. Let them stay here and cultivate for a while to improve their realms.

The manager saw that Jiang Han's eyes were firm and didn't try to dissuade him further. He threw out a token and said, "There will be a Golden Island capture battle tomorrow. Gather outside the city at Chenshi tomorrow morning. Good luck."

Jiang Han took the token and turned to return to the small courtyard.

After returning, Jiang Han gathered everyone and said, "Rest for half a month. In the future, we will fight two island capture battles each month. Usually, focus on cultivation and improve your realms first."

The others didn't think much about it. After all, the realm of the group was indeed a bit low. If Bai Li Ju, Lu Xi, Yun He, and Yun Tu could improve to the sixth or seventh level of the Reincarnation Realm, it would be much safer to fight.

Zuo Yiyi, Qi Bing, and Xiong Jingjing turned around and went back to cultivate after hearing this. They all understood that their realms would hold everyone back, so they should seize the time to build their altars.

Jiang Lang glanced at Jiang Han suspiciously and followed Jiang Han back to his room. As soon as he entered, he asked, "Why are we resting for another half month? Aren't you going to fight for the merit list?"

"Yes, I am!"

Jiang Han took out the token in his hand and said calmly, "I signed up for the Golden Island capture battle in my own name."

"What?"

Jiang Lang's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy!"

Jiang Han said very seriously, "Don't worry, I'm inconspicuous in the main force. As soon as the battle starts, I'll sneak into the ground and look for opportunities to kill a few Reincarnation Realm experts. I have the Wind Evasion Technique, the Dragon Shield, and the Thunder Dragon Roar. Ordinary Reincarnation Realm experts can't kill me."

"Bullshit."

Jiang Lang said, "What about Celestial Human Realm experts? Do you know what a Celestial Human Realm expert is? Do you know what kind of perverted abilities the barbarian, demon, and demon races in the Celestial Human Realm have?"

"They can tear you to pieces with a casual blow. There are ten Celestial Human Realm experts guarding Golden Island. Also… there is a Void Realm expert. They can shatter your bones with a casual attack, do you know that?"

"I know!"

Jiang Han pursed his lips and said, "But I still have to go. Don't worry… If the human race doesn't have the advantage, if the situation is dangerous, I would rather not have merit points and retreat as soon as possible. I'm just a Mountain Sea Realm cultivator, the strong experts of the demon, barbarian, and demon races shouldn't bother to kill me, right?"

"No way!"

Jiang Lang said decisively, "You can't go. If you insist on going, I'll go tell Yiyi, Bingbing, and Jingjing!"

"Brother Lang, I'm begging you!"

Jiang Han's head throbbed, and he cupped his hands and bowed, "I'm going to fight on Golden Island to let them cultivate and improve their realms first. Their realms are too low. If we keep fighting on Silver Island, what if something happens? How can we explain it to Pavilion Master Ling, Grand Elder, and Third Elder?"

"Oh?"

Jiang Lang rolled his eyes and said, "You just嫌弃(xián qì) us for being too weak, right? You嫌(xián) us for being a burden, right? Jiang Han, you ungrateful bastard, now that you're developed and strong, you despise us old wives?"

"What are you talking about?"

Jiang Han was defeated and raised his hands in surrender, "I was wrong, Brother Lang! Can I kneel down for you?"

"Kneeling is fine!"

Jiang Lang said with satisfaction, "Go kneel on the bed and stick your butt up…"

"Get lost!"

Jiang Han waved his hand and stopped talking nonsense, "Alright, I'm going to battle tomorrow morning, I need to get a good night's sleep."

"Sigh!"

Jiang Lang sighed helplessly, his ring lit up, and a spatial ring appeared.

In addition, his body flashed with light, and a white battle armor automatically detached. He threw the spatial ring and battle armor to Jiang Han and said, "There are Twenty-Four Bridges Phantom Flags and a small boat in the spatial ring. The Illusion Tower is inside. This battle armor is a Heavenly Tier battle armor, personally refined by my Undying Grandpa."

"This battle armor has stronger defensive power than ordinary Heavenly Tier battle armors. It can withstand more than a dozen attacks from ordinary Celestial Human Realm experts, and even a full-strength blow from a Celestial Human Realm peak expert. You can't break it, or I'm not finished with you!"

Jiang Han took the battle armor and spatial ring, feeling inexplicably moved.

This battle armor should be one of Jiang Lang's most powerful trump cards, right? Jiang Lang threw it to him without saying anything. If he was attacked a few times by a Celestial Human Realm peak expert, this battle armor might shatter.

He stared blankly at Jiang Lang, his eyes slightly red, and his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

"Hey… hey!"

Jiang Lang glanced at Jiang Han and said with a face full of contempt, "Don't be so sentimental, okay? If you're really touched and want to repay me, go to bed and stick your butt up."

"Get lost!"
