Chapter 211 : Chapter 211
Chapter 211. Six Days From Now, I Will Become a Martial God
【Choice One: Follow Gu Yuan’s suggestion and, from this day onward, set yourself as an example, dedicating your life to striving for a better future for the group. Reward: the title “Outstanding Team Leader.”
Choice Two: Work hard? That is impossible. As for Gu Yuan’s suggestion, you directly slack off and refuse. Reward: “Low-level Slacker Gift Pack.”
Choice Three: For anything that prevents you from slacking off and enjoying life, please use absolute strength to leave the other party speechless, so they will no longer disturb your enjoyment of life.】
Jiang Yichen glanced at the three choices that had appeared before him, then slowly raised his head.
Was there even any need to choose? The system cultivated automatically every day.
Under these circumstances, if he still had to cultivate painstakingly, and his speed was not even as fast as the system’s, would that not be sheer madness?
Jiang Yichen met Gu Yuan’s eyes and sighed. “Commander Gu, were they all trained by you?”
He pointed at Mei Xue’er and the others.
Gu Yuan nodded without hesitation. “That is correct. I designed all of their training plans. Is there a problem?”
Jiang Yichen shook his head and said in disappointment, “Commander Gu, then your methods are not quite good enough. They cannot even defeat the group I brought up while being lazy.”
Mei Xue’er and the others: “…”
Gu Yuan: “…”
He looked back at Mei Xue’er, momentarily at a loss for words.
Apart from Sleep God, the four of them, including Mei Xue’er, had all been carefully cultivated by the Divine Battle Division.
But the results… even the four of them together had been held down and beaten by Sleep God, whom Jiang Yichen had trained, while he was asleep.
During the strength evaluation the day before yesterday, even Mei Xue’er, despite being a minister, had lost to Su Linyu again.
This…
For a moment, even Gu Yuan did not know how to answer.
“Commander Gu, how about this? When your Divine Battle Division can defeat my group, you can make demands of me again.”
A faint smile hung at the corner of Jiang Yichen’s mouth. “At that time, I can compare the results and find the cause. Only then can I lead the group better, right?”
“…” The corner of Gu Yuan’s mouth twitched. So in the end, Jiang Yichen still wanted to be a hands-off team leader, just like he had been in the New Recruit Training Camp.
But if Gu Yuan tried to refute him, there truly was no way to refute the strength of Su Linyu and the other two.
As for making Jiang Yichen train, that would be like sending a veteran into a camp for new recruits.
With Jiang Yichen’s strength as an Eighth-Realm Martial Emperor, if he were a Divine Contract Holder, he could already hold a high-level position in the Divine Battle Division.
What else could Gu Yuan possibly teach him?
After thinking for quite a while, Gu Yuan said, “Fine. I can allow you to act the same way you did in the New Recruit Training Camp, but you must guarantee that you secure the Divine Contract opportunity in the Guankou Divine Ruins.”
When Jiang Yichen heard this, he smiled faintly. “No problem. I can still manage a small matter like that.”
With the First-Mover Divine Contract rewarded by the system, who could possibly snatch it away from me?
Gu Yuan, however, was extremely puzzled. In his eyes, this was an immensely worrying matter, yet to Jiang Yichen, making a god contract with a human seemed like something very easy.
“Do not speak too confidently. Making a god form a contract with a human is not an easy thing. I believe Mei Xue’er has already told you that.”
After reminding him, Gu Yuan’s gaze fell on Su Linyu and the other two. “Then for the next half month, the three of you will follow me and train in combat techniques and practical combat experience.”
“Jiang Yichen… you can train on your own.”
He truly could not teach Jiang Yichen. He could only sigh at how monstrous the Jiang Family was. Jiang Zhentian had become Huaxia’s first True God, and not long after his son graduated, he had already reached the Eighth-Realm Martial Emperor level.
Every word of that statement was reasonable on its own, but when put together, it was unbelievable.
【Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have made a Slacking Choice and obtained a “High-level Slacker Gift Pack.” Would you like to open it?】
Jiang Yichen smiled with his eyes. Slacking off with strength to back it up truly felt comfortable.
Those people online who could not endure work and went home to slack off, only to be criticized by their families all day, would merely fall into frustration and suffocation every day.
“Mei Xue’er, explain the specific training content to them first. Also, double your daily training.”
At this moment, Gu Yuan spoke with a stern expression.
Mei Xue’er froze and asked in confusion, “Old Gu, we did not make any mistakes. Why do we have to double our training?”
Gu Yuan said irritably, “Look at yourselves. You are using Huaxia’s top resources, yet you cannot even defeat new recruits. You still have the nerve to ask? It is decided.”
After saying that, Gu Yuan tossed the training plan to her and left without even looking back, as though he found it embarrassing.
“…” Mei Xue’er, who looked like a bearded middle-aged man, revealed an expression of utter hopelessness.
Mo Yan, Lingling, and Liang Shan also felt a headache coming on.
New recruits? Have you ever seen a new recruit at the Eighth-Realm Martial Emperor level?
Have you ever seen a new recruit who could release flames capable of burning Laws?
And you are telling me this is a new recruit?
While their expressions were miserable, Su Linyu and the other two could not help secretly laughing.
“Why does this feel a little satisfying?” Tang Long grinned.
Su Linyu’s brows lifted slightly, and she felt immensely proud inside. My Brother Yichen was truly powerful.
“Let us go. We will begin your first day of training in the Divine Battle Division.” Mei Xue’er looked at Su Linyu and the other two as she spoke.
Jiang Yichen did not go with them. After watching Su Linyu follow Mei Xue’er onto the Combat Arena, he casually found a place to sit.
He opened the System Space and tapped to open the Intermediate Gift Pack and the High-level Slacker Gift Pack at the same time.
Time to gamble!
【Congratulations, Host. You have obtained: Slacker Leisure Toy.】
【Congratulations, Host. You have obtained: Supreme-grade · Apotheosis and Ten Billion in Funds.】
Hm?
Jiang Yichen’s expression had originally darkened when he saw the Slacker Leisure Toy, but in the next instant, his attention was drawn to the words “Supreme-grade · Apotheosis” below it.
As expected, the chance of drawing good items really was higher when he opened them together.
“Supreme-grade · Apotheosis.” Curiosity surfaced in Jiang Yichen’s eyes as he opened its description.
【Supreme-grade · Apotheosis: (Skill Background) Before a god, a mortal body is like an ant. The essence lies in the fact that mortals nourish their bodies with Spiritual Energy and break through the limits of the flesh, while gods can transform Spiritual Energy into Divine Power and unleash unimaginable strength.
After using this skill, you will possess Divine Power, stand shoulder to shoulder with gods, and even slay gods! (Note: The duration is one hour.)】
Jiang Yichen was slightly stunned. He would possess Divine Power, stand shoulder to shoulder with gods, and could even reach the point of slaying gods.
It was that strong?
The first god he had encountered was Evil God Medusa, and he had learned quite a bit of information about gods from her.
Among that information was one point: no matter how far a mortal cultivated, they could never defeat a god.
As for Medusa, her Resurrection Ritual had failed, and she had fallen from the Divine Realm, which was why her strength had been so weak.
“Is it really true that mortals cannot defeat gods?”
Jiang Yichen’s face showed contemplation. Looking at the description for Supreme-grade · Apotheosis, he nodded slightly.
“This is not bad. Right now, I am still more than half a month away from becoming a Martial God, and the Divine Realm is still far away.”
“With this skill, if a true god appears in the future, I will also have the means to contend with them.”
Jiang Yichen smiled in satisfaction, closed the System Space, and raised his eyes toward the Combat Arena.
As he watched Su Linyu and the other two sparring with Mei Xue’er, he revealed the gratified expression that a team leader ought to have.
Work hard. As your team leader, I am relying entirely on you to carry me.
Day by day, time passed. Jiang Yichen continued his slacking-off lifestyle. Whenever he had nothing to do, he wandered around Kunlun Mountain and admired the scenery.
Occasionally, he took Su Linyu into the mountains for a picnic, which had its own unique charm.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and the Guankou Divine Ruins opened.
That morning, Jiang Yichen was woken by the notification sound on his phone—the assembly notice from the humanoid robot girl, Lingling.
Just as he was feeling annoyed, the system’s notification sound rang out as well.
【Ding! Congratulations, Host. Your realm has reached “Ninth Level of the Eighth Realm.”】
Jiang Yichen’s eyes lit up slightly, and his annoyance was swept away.
He opened the system panel and calculated the time. There were still six days before he could break through to the Martial God realm.
The corner of Jiang Yichen’s mouth rose slightly. He had graduated from the Martial Arts Academy less than half a year ago, yet he was already about to reach the Martial God realm.
In his previous life, this was something he would not even have dared to imagine.
Six days from now, Huaxia’s sixth Martial God would be born!
Anticipation surfaced in Jiang Yichen’s eyes.
