Chapter 129: Kill Reward

Divine Martial Space.

On the dome above, half a blazing sun slowly rose.

Jiang Yan had finally found the remaining half of his Spirit Platform.

The sight before him was utterly overwhelming, and Jiang Yan didn’t know what to say to express his feelings.

The location of the Spirit Platform had always been elusive and unpredictable. Jiang Yan had thought it might be in a remote and hard-to-find place, but he never expected…

This thing had actually ended up in the Divine Martial Space!

One half inside his body, the other half in the Divine Martial Space—were the two of you splitting up because of a disagreement?

After observing the half Spirit Platform in the sky within the space for a long time, Jiang Yan discovered that he could freely mobilize the Spiritual Power stored within it.

Moreover, through careful meditation, he could also see the other half of the Spirit Platform outside the Divine Martial Space.

Apart from its somewhat remote location, it didn’t affect its functionality. It could still be considered a good thing.

“Since half of the Spirit Platform is in the Divine Martial Space, does that mean other Spiritual Power Martial Artists cannot attack my Spirit Platform, making me immune to half of all Spiritual Power attacks?”

“If that’s possible, then why not this…

Transfer the remaining half of the Spirit Platform to the Divine Martial Space as well…”

“Hiss—”

The more Jiang Yan thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed. If one day he could truly send the remaining half of his Spirit Platform to the Divine Martial Space, he would be truly invincible in terms of Spiritual Power!

Attack without defense, peerless in the world.

The Spirit Platform is the container for storing Spiritual Power. If I don’t even have a Spirit Platform, what can you use to attack me?

An absolutely untargetable existence, an unsolvable problem!

Jiang Yan quickly moved to put his idea into practice, using his Spiritual Power to communicate with the Spirit Platform.

Problems arose one after another.

How to move the Spirit Platform?

Where is the path from the Spirit Platform to the Divine Martial Space?

No matter what, Jiang Yan had to try first. If he failed, he wouldn’t lose anything, but if he succeeded, it would be a huge gain.

The landscape painting remained unchanged, but Jiang Yan’s mind was drawn to it. His Spiritual Power grew bit by bit, and his Spirit Platform expanded along with it, becoming stronger and stronger.

Then… the Spirit Platform outside the Divine Martial Space moved!

“It’s working!”

Jiang Yan was overjoyed. It seemed his conjecture was correct—his Spirit Platform could indeed be moved.

Now, the next step was to figure out how to move the Spirit Platform into the Divine Martial Space!

“Huh? Wait, how do I find the Divine Martial Space?”

Jiang Yan had almost exhausted his Spiritual Power to move the Spirit Platform by about a millimeter, only to realize that he didn’t even know where the Divine Martial Space was.

Normally, he entered the Divine Martial Space with just a thought, but now it was different. Jiang Yan’s thoughts moved, but the Spirit Platform remained completely still~

“It seems my Spiritual Power is still too weak. I’d better continue contemplating.”

Temporarily setting aside the idea of moving the Spirit Platform, Jiang Yan continued to observe the wall painting.

Time passed minute by minute. When Jiang Yan emerged from his contemplation, his points had gone bankrupt.

“Your usage time for the Contemplation Diagram this time: 305 minutes.”

“User xxx has paid for 60 minutes of your usage time.”

“The remaining 245 minutes have been automatically deducted from your account balance.”

“Your points: -2500.”

Jiang Yan: …

“I actually stayed in the contemplation room for nearly five hours?”

Jiang Yan felt as if no time had passed at all, yet in the blink of an eye, he was bankrupt. And this was with that liberal arts student covering 1,200 points for him. Otherwise, he would have owed even more.

This is actually quite normal. Most Martial Artists only spend about ten minutes observing the Contemplation Diagram for the first time, which translates to just 200 points—barely a drop in the bucket.

But Jiang Yan is different. The strain the Contemplation Diagram places on his Spiritual Power is almost negligible, allowing him to enter a state of self-forgetfulness during cultivation, completely unaware of the world around him.

His Spirit Platform is no longer the tiny speck of light it was at the beginning. It has now grown to the size of a meter-wide puddle, with a faint glow flowing within it, and intangible Spiritual Power permeating the space.

In summary, it’s all because his Talent is too exceptional.

So, what now? How should he make up for these points?

Jiang Yan decided to owe them for now.

“I killed a Demon Lord. The school should at least reward me with some points, or it just wouldn’t make sense.”

Jiang Yan walked out of the Contemplation Room and absorbed the Doppelganger guarding outside back into his body.

Putting aside the matter of points, Jiang Yan quickly returned to his dorm to look for other methods to cultivate his Spirit Platform.

After all, the Contemplation Diagram only serves as a guide—it can train Spiritual Power and help you locate your Spirit Platform.

But there are countless treasures in the market that genuinely aid in cultivating the Spirit Platform and enhancing Spiritual Power, with a wide variety of types.

For example, there’s a certain blue pill that, when taken, causes extreme physical excitement, but its side effects are too obvious and not advisable.

Then there are expensive accessories crafted from special Materials, which help calm the mind and are highly beneficial for cultivating Spiritual Power.

And then there are certain rare natural treasures, though such abstract treasures are generally extremely precious.

Jiang Yan was currently very poor, so he once again sat on his bed, racking his brains.

“Your Spiritual Power has slightly increased.”

It worked.

The speed was much slower than in the Contemplation Room, but for a normal Martial Artist, it would be considered Heaven-Defyingly fast!

Eighteen Apertures aren’t just for show—all of Jiang Yan’s Talents have already reached the pinnacle of humanity.

Night fell, and only then did Sun He and Cheng Wu slowly return.

The two had likely fought again in some unknown place, as their faces were bruised and swollen upon returning, indicating the battle had been quite intense.

At first, they wore expressions of deep resentment, but as soon as they stepped into the dorm, they both fell silent, not daring to say a word. Instead, they glared at each other with wide eyes, neither willing to back down.

Seeing Jiang Yan’s bedroom door closed, they both snorted coldly and chose to sit silently on opposite sides of the living room sofa.

Arguing was one thing, but disturbing Jiang Yan’s cultivation would be a real disaster.

They still understood what mattered most, especially Sun He, whose neck still ached faintly.

After cultivating for a while, Jiang Yan felt a bit stuck. He searched online but couldn’t find any Spirit Treasures for spiritual cultivation that he could afford.

After some thought, he decided to call the number Director Zhang Qianyue had left him.

Resources—are something you fight for yourself!

“Hello—Director Zhang, yes, it’s me.”

“May I ask if there are any subsidies for killing Demon Lords in our [1026] district?”

“There really are? Alright, I’ll come to the bureau tomorrow to collect them.”

“No need, I’ll come myself. No need for you to make the trip, Director.”

Jiang Yan hung up the phone, feeling elated.

In the future, he could focus more on killing Pei Qin to secure resources.

Tianyuan Star had suffered losses in the past, so the eradication of Demon Lords was taken very seriously, with many reward and punishment mechanisms established.

And the rewards were exceptionally generous.

As a direct participant in this incident, Jiang Yan could expect to receive the majority of the rewards.

It will then be up to Tianyuan Star to decide whether to recognize him as an outsider, and whether the rewards will be given half-heartedly.
