After the Breakup I Took It Easy and Became Invincible

Chapter 57. After dealing with the younger one, his fiery Sichuan-Chongqing mother began dealing with the older one.

At the martial exam plaza, medical staff in white coats moved back and forth through the crowd.

Not a single examinee who came out of the Monster Battlefield had died, but all of them had suffered injuries to varying degrees.

That was already much better than in previous years. In almost every martial exam, there would be one or two cases involving serious danger to life.

“Quick, over here! Someone passed out cold. Bring a stretcher!”

Four medical workers lifted Lin Wan, whose entire body reeked of wolf urine with a sharp, pungent stench, onto a stretcher and hurried her toward an ambulance.

“Damn! That smell is overwhelming. Isn’t that Lin Wan? What happened to her?”

“That should be wolf urine. I smelled it when I killed a third-rank Gale Wolf before. It nearly made me vomit.”

“Hahaha, damn! So Lin Wan finally got her retribution for all that feminist grandstanding? She got drenched in wolf urine.”

“Forget that. I’d call this the most miserable martial exam ever. Those demonic beasts even had automatic regeneration. It was utterly ridiculous.”

As soon as that topic came up, the examinees in the plaza all started complaining at once.

“Exactly. From half an hour after the martial exam started right up until it was almost over, the points leaderboard never moved. I bet nobody could kill the demonic beasts.”

“It was completely absurd. I could have made the top five thousand too. Sigh!”

“Haha, I pushed hard at the start and killed four third-rank demonic beasts, so I passed the martial exam outright. Before the test, my instructor kept saying I had no chance.”

“Stop talking about that. Hurry up and look at the video on the school forum. Damn, Young Master Jiang is incredible!”

Someone suddenly shouted, and the examinees nearby all looked puzzled. One after another, they took out their phones and logged into the school forum.

Tang Long, broad and heavyset, was still standing at the forefront of the excitement.

“Damn! Hero Chu, look at this. Th-This is Brother Yichen?”

He thrust the livestream footage of Jiang Yichen fighting a sixth-rank Ink-Poison Octopus with the strength of a fifth-stage Grandmaster in front of Chu Xingchen.

Seeing the shock on Tang Long’s face, Chu Xingchen slowly lowered his eyes to the phone screen.

But after only a single glance, his gaze locked onto it.

“Armor that can withstand the Ink-Poison Octopus’s deadly poison, Telekinetic capable of controlling fifty Magical Artifacts at the same time, and it even seems to have spatial-travel ability...”

Chu Xingchen snatched the phone away, disbelief rising in his eyes.

Tang Long was even more shaken. “My old man is a Martial God-level telekinetic, and even he can only control twenty-four flying daggers. Isn’t Brother Yichen’s ability just an A-rank ‘Psychic Amplification’? Damn, this can’t be real, can it?”

Chu Xingchen shook his head. “This is footage from the Huazhong authorities’ livestream. There are no signs of editing.”

Tang Long was utterly dumbfounded. “Good lord, just how much has Brother Yichen been hiding?”

“When they tested his realm before, it was already outrageous that he jumped from the second stage to the fifth layer of the third stage in a single month. But judging from the comments on the video, Brother Yichen seems to have broken through to Grandmaster.”

Before even graduating from university, reaching the fifth stage of Grandmaster was an astonishing concept. Huaxia would fight to recruit a genius like that.

If he entered a national-level military force, then sooner or later he could even rise to the rank of general. That would make Huaxia pour even more resources into the Jiang family, and the family would steadily grow stronger.

In short, anyone who reached the Grandmaster realm before graduation had an enormous chance of becoming a Martial God in the future. Every major faction would scramble to curry favor with him and invest in him.

“Fifth-stage Grandmaster...” Chu Xingchen flipped through the comments. Almost none of them were willing to believe that Jiang Yichen, the dead weight of the last four years, had really managed to break through to the fifth stage of Grandmaster.

The examinees around them, who were also looking through the forum, likewise questioned whether the livestream footage had been maliciously edited and whether the comments were paid supporters arranged by Young Master Jiang.

Besides, the strongest demonic beasts in the Monster Battlefield were only at the early fifth rank. A sixth-rank demonic beast simply should not have appeared there.

Sure enough, it was difficult for people to accept that someone who had ranked at the bottom for four whole years had suddenly become outstanding.

But the livestream footage was undeniably real. Jiang Yichen had fought the extremely troublesome sixth-rank Ink-Poison Octopus by himself.

Despite the Ink-Poison Octopus’s terrifying regenerative ability, he had still stabbed it to pieces by sheer force.

That level of strength was probably far more than just the fifth stage of Grandmaster.

Astonishment flashed through Chu Xingchen’s eyes as he said in a low voice, “Ever since the graduation ceremony, Jiang Yichen really does seem to have changed.”

Tang Long was half-convinced and half-doubtful. This was simply too far beyond anything they had ever associated with Brother Yichen.

“Young Master Jiang is out. Let’s go ask him whether what’s on the forum is true.”

Just then, Shen Qingyue and Jiang Yichen walked out from the exit of the Monster Battlefield, with Jiang Feng trailing behind them, bruised and swollen, one hand clutching his stomach.

The surrounding examinees all looked confused. Their eyes turned to Jiang Feng, clearly wanting to know what had happened.

“Bastard! If Aunt weren’t here, man, I would definitely make you pay for this.”

Jiang Feng could not bear those stares. Cursing inwardly, he immediately activated his battle armor and fled through the air to find his father.

Jiang Yichen did not stop him. After beating him up, he felt much better.

“Young Master Jiang, Young Master Jiang, is the person in this video really you?” one examinee asked directly, holding up his phone.

Jiang Yichen froze. After taking one look, he was left utterly speechless.

What the hell? How did they end up livestreaming me?

I was only ranked ten-thousandth. Instead of watching the livestream of first place, why were they staring at me?

Jiang Yichen raised his head and glanced at Zhou Mingyuan on the high platform. Damn it, that old bastard had definitely done this on purpose.

Forget it. Things had already come to this.

“Yes, that was me. Handsome, right?” Jiang Yichen nodded and smiled faintly.

But the examinee’s expression stiffened. “Young Master Jiang, you’re not exaggerating, are you? Using Telekinetic to control fifty Magical Artifacts at once—even the Tang family’s Martial God-level telekinetic can’t do that.”

Jiang Yichen’s face darkened. Damn it. If you were not going to believe the truth, then why ask at all?

“Yes, yes, of course. I was bragging. I hired someone to edit the livestream footage. Satisfied now?”

The examinee became half-believing and half-doubting. The people around them, however, took his words as the truth and began whispering quietly among themselves.

They were probably just too wary of his status to voice their doubts openly.

Jiang Yichen could not be bothered with them. He turned back to his mother. “Mom, I’ll head back first...”

“No hurry. There are still some people left to deal with.” With a fierce expression on her face, Shen Qingyue grabbed him like a chick and hauled him up to the high platform where Zhou Mingyuan and Jiang Dongnian were standing.

Jiang Yichen froze for a moment, then straightened his clothes and cautiously glanced at his mother’s expression.

Good lord. Someone was about to suffer.

“Jiang Yichen!” Before his mother could speak, Jiang Dongnian struck first, pointing at Jiang Feng as he demanded, “Why did you hit my son? Give me a reasonable explanation!”

Before Jiang Yichen could retort, Shen Qingyue pulled him protectively behind her. “So what if Xiao Chen hit your son? Believe it or not, I can hit you too.”

“No matter what, Xiao Chen is still your nephew. He was in mortal danger, and you still sided with outsiders? Today, on your elder brother’s behalf, I’ll teach you a proper lesson.”

With that, Shen Qingyue raised her hand and slapped toward Jiang Dongnian, but she did not move very fast.

It was obvious she only meant to intimidate him and was not actually trying to hit him.

But Jiang Yichen was not having that. Seeing Jiang Dongnian still trying to dodge, he directly used a spatial shift to place his mother right in front of him.

Slap!

The crisp sound of that slap rang out across the plaza, and the entire place instantly fell deathly silent.

Jiang Dongnian felt the burning pain on his face and went completely blank. He had failed to dodge it?

Shen Qingyue was stunned too. She had only meant to scare him. How had that turned into a real slap?

Was that spatial-travel ability just now?

She turned back to glance at her son, her eyes filled with a strange look.

Jiang Yichen, meanwhile, gave her a thumbs-up. “Mom, that was incredible!”

Shen Qingyue: “...”
