808 Asking For Death! (1/2)
That was the day that the human cultivators almost went mad with anger. Those who thought they had hit the jackpot had underestimated Xu Que. How could Xu Que be so immoral that he would run away after only killing 500 giants? He even made excuses saying that it was a win-win situation!
Win-win their ass!
How could someone so shameless exist?
Could it be that those great Spiritual Stones on him were a scam?
He's so wicked that no one dared to be his friend!
...
However, Xu Que did something good in the end. The human cultivators were very likely to lose that day. Should that happen, they would have suffered significant losses. Although Xu Que only caused the Heaven Orc Tribe to lose 500 giants, he had directly disrupted the Orcs' formation, damaging their morale, and thus had brought the battle to an early end. The Generals of the Heaven Orc Tribe had withdrawn their troops and retreated temporarily. Thanks to that, the human cultivators were able to return safely to their camps. However, in the camps, chaos ensued.
Countless people gathered in front of the Ranking Chart for Soldiers and were shocked to see that brand-new name on the ranks.
”How horrifying!”
”In just two days, he shot straight up to the 103rd place on the list!”
”Although he is dishonest, his strength is undeniable!'
”Where on earth did Li Bai from the Exploding Heavens Faction pop up from? Why have we not heard of this faction and his name?”
”In any case, it seems like he will make it into the Top 10 if he takes part in another battle!”
”Top 10? You exaggerate. Despite his recent rapid rise in ranking, he's got a big gap in achievements to make up for to enter the Top 100!”
”Yes, when it comes to the top 100, the difference between each placing is comparable to a whole new rank!”
”And the Top 30 are all from the Divine Son Division!”
”At his current speed of killing enemies, he would need seven consecutive days of battle to make it into the Top 30!”
...
They might have been gossiping, but deep down inside, they still admired Xu Que's strength. Although his rank was not considered high, no one doubted his ability. With enough time, sooner or later he would make it into the Top 30 of the Ranking Chart for Generals! That way, he would also have proved his worth to enter the Divine Son Division. As for whether or not he could top the Divine Son Division? Nobody ever thought about it, because everyone thought it was impossible.
...
At the same time, in a camp, a middle-aged man sat on a chair as he looked at the few young men before him. A portrait was laid out on the table. It was Xu Que in his disguise, and, under the picture, the following was written in small print: Exploding Heavens Faction: Li Bai. Origin unknown.
”I have verified this child's potential. He is qualified to join the Divine Son Division!” said the middle-aged man as he tapped his finger gently on the case.
The young men immediately frowned and exchanged glances. One of them said, ”Commander, he hails from a land unknown. Shouldn't we carry out a thorough investigation before we decide?”
”There's no need. As members of the Divine Son Division, you all will find out where he is, and invite him into the Divine Son Division on my behalf.” The middle-aged man shook his head and ordered sternly. The young men did not dare to disagree with his words. They quickly accepted their task and left the tent.
...
Meanwhile, Xu Que had already returned to the inn with Jiang Hongyan. The Escape Emblem was considerate for once and sent them directly back to the ancient city, where they took a rest in the Inn. As soon as she entered the room, Jiang Hongyan sat down and started to meditate. She never lost her cool no matter where she was. Even in meditation, she was dignified, elegant, and graceful.
