Chapter 77: Drag Him Out and Behead Him

“Trait harvest~ Trait harvest~”

……

Jiang Yan hummed a cheerful tune as he began examining the Traits he had just acquired.

【Above the Saber Saint】(Red): Your Talent in the Saber Way increases by 1000%. When you perform saber-type attacks, you gain a 100% damage bonus. While wielding a saber (conceptually), your attack speed increases by 100%.

【Concealment】(White): You can become invisible.

Self-Selected Traits:

【Emergency Evasion】: When you receive any damage, there is a 50% chance to evade it.

【Time Passing】: Within one second, you can teleport five times without any cost.

【Instant Kill Law】: When you deal damage to a hostile opponent, you have a 0.1% chance to instantly kill them.

【Unyielding Vanguard】: You gain a three-second Unyielding buff, during which you are immune to death. Simultaneously, your recovery speed increases by 50%. Cooldown: 60 minutes.

Jiang Yan: “Life is a grand gamble, and going all-in is a form of wisdom.”

“I choose…

Instant Kill Law!”

With the 100% attack speed from 【Above the Saber Saint】 combined with the 0.1% instant kill probability, Jiang Yan believed that if his saber strikes were fast enough, he could even slay a god for you to see!

Of course, the prerequisite was that the god wouldn’t dodge.

“Hehe, let’s test the strength after the breakthrough.”

……

Divine Capital Martial University, Principal’s Office.

Qin Wufeng held a black landline telephone.

“Hey, Old Ling, are you currently fighting any battles in the Starry Sky?”

“No, those beasts from Star Planet have been behaving themselves lately, probably brewing something big.”

“That’s good. Look…”

Qin Wufeng hesitated, his words trailing off. Far away in the Starry Sky, Cangyuan Saber Saint furrowed his brows upon hearing this. Having been Senior and Junior Brothers with Qin Wufeng, he knew the other’s character all too well.

“This old fox is probably trying to trick me.” Cangyuan Saber Saint instinctively wanted to hang up.

He spoke up: “There’s an Old Undying on Tianlong Star clamoring to spar with me in saber techniques. I happen to have some free time recently to go meet that guy.”

Qin Wufeng immediately knew his friend was trying to dodge the topic, so he got straight to the point: “Do you remember that kid we recruited into our Divine Capital Martial University back then?”

Cangyuan Saber Saint’s handsome brows slightly furrowed as he carefully recalled. It seemed there was indeed such a person.

“Is that the top scorer named Jiang… something? What about him?”

A mere College Entrance Exam top scorer couldn’t even hold a name in Cangyuan Saber Saint’s heart.

“Yes, I was just about to talk to you about him.”

Qin Wufeng on the other end of the phone chuckled, his tone carrying a hint of calculation.

Cangyuan Saber Saint grew even more puzzled, a faint sense of foreboding rising in his heart. He asked, “What happened to that child?”

Qin Wufeng: “Didn’t he go challenge the Myriad Realms Ladder some time ago? Guess what the result was?”

Upon hearing this, Cangyuan Saber Saint laughed heartily: “Junior Brother, oh Junior Brother, you’re really regressing the older you get. Calling me specifically over a Myriad Realms Ladder challenge? Let me guess, that kid must have broken your Divine Capital Martial University’s freshman record, so you rushed over to brag to me without stopping?”

Qin Wufeng smiled: “Hah, you actually guessed right. He really did break the record, but the ranking would scare you to death.”

“Hmph, just a ranking. Even if he got lucky and reached the top 100 million, I wouldn’t even bat an eye.”

“What if I told you he’s already reached over fifty thousand?”

On the other end of the phone, Qin Wufeng’s faint voice came through.

Thud!

Through the phone, Qin Wufeng heard the sound of the receiver dropping.

A few seconds later.

“How many did you say?!”

“Not many, just fifty thousand. That ranking probably isn’t even worth a blink for Master Saber Saint.”

Qin Wufeng’s tone turned sarcastic, secretly relishing the moment.

“Impossible! You old fool, you can’t even brag properly. How could a freshman reach the top fifty thousand right after enrollment?”

“Heh, believe it or not, Divine Capital Martial University’s Myriad Realms Ladder backend ranking information has already been sent to you.”

Qin Wufeng hung up the phone, crossed his legs on the rosewood desk, and leisurely waited for Cangyuan Saber Saint to call back.

Sure enough, a few minutes later.

Ring ring ring…

Qin Wufeng remained motionless.

Let the phone ring a little longer.

One minute later.

Qin Wufeng straightened his clothes and leisurely picked up the phone.

“Is he still at Divine Capital Martial University? Wait for me, I’m coming back right away!”

“Oh, is that Master Saber Saint? Weren’t you going to Tianlong Star to exchange Saber techniques? How do you have time to call?”

“Damn it, you’re putting on an act,” Cangyuan Saber Saint cursed under his breath, wishing he could slash Qin Wufeng in half across the Starry Sky.

“Didn’t you say you’d cover Jiang Yan’s cultivation resources?”

He took a deep breath to calm himself and said calmly, “That’s right. What do you want?”

Qin Wufeng sat up straight.

“Hehe, although that kid Jiang Yan is freakishly strong, his ability to consume resources is second to none. I even gave him all the Spirit Gathering Devices I had prepared for expanding the Spirit Gathering Chambers. Lately, I’ve been a bit short on funds~”

Cangyuan Saber Saint was puzzled. “How many resources can an Innate Martial Artist possibly consume? Besides, installing one Spirit Gathering Device for him should be more than enough, right? Don’t tell me Divine Capital Martial University can’t even handle one Spirit Gathering Device without bothering me.”

“Of course, one wouldn’t trouble you. But what about six?”

Cangyuan Saber Saint: ?

Are you even listening to yourself?

“Did that kid come here to stock up?!”

“Well, pretty much.”

Cangyuan Saber Saint rubbed his temples, his tone weary. “I’ll go rob a few Spirit Gathering Devices from Star Star and give them to Divine Capital Martial University as compensation.”

“Hahaha, old friend, I knew I could count on you.”

Cangyuan Saber Saint sneered. “But I won’t be a fool for nothing. When I return to Blue Star, you have to persuade him to become my disciple.”

“Hahaha, as long as he’s willing, I can certainly be the middleman.”

The call ended.

In the Starry Sky, a streak of light swiftly flew toward Star Star.

At that moment, Star Star, War Command Headquarters.

“Report, Commander! A human is attacking our defensive barrier.”

“Hmph, overestimating himself. Deploy the destroyer.”

“Commander, there’s a hole in the defensive barrier!”

“What?! Activate Level Three Combat Readiness!”

…

That day, a human went to great lengths to break into Star Star’s top academy, picked up over a dozen Spirit Gathering Devices, and ran.

Boom!

Boom! Boom!

Countless flames and long-range attacks struck the man, triggering apocalyptic mushroom clouds.

Cangyuan Saber Saint flew back into space.

“Cough… just a slightly dirty corner of my clothes.”

Click!

Against the backdrop of the black Starry Sky, with over a dozen Spirit Gathering Devices engraved with Star Star’s unique emblem as his props, Cangyuan Saber Saint took a dashing selfie.

“Damn, I look so damn handsome!”

“Cough… that hurts like hell.”

Star, the highest command center. A group of bizarrely shaped creatures gathered around a circular table.

Bang!

A Starian slammed the table.

“Damnable humans, this is a blatant insult to our Star!”

A military advisor stepped forward and suggested, “General Yiwa, calm down, calm down. I suspect that news of our plan to attack the Human Race has leaked, and the humans are using this to warn us.”

“Hmph, it seems we have a traitor among us~”

General Yiwa stood up, his menacing gaze sweeping over his loyal subordinates.

“Joss, is it you? I’ve long suspected you!”

“General Yi, I swear by the gods, I would never dare betray Star!”

“Hmph, how dare you argue? Drag him out and execute him!”
