Chapter 146: Kite

"What happened!"

Liu Feng stood stunned in place, his face showing horror!

A second ago, he had seen with his own eyes the several arrogant Zhou family direct descendants who were surrounding him screaming and being thrown out!

"What is going on!"

"Could it be that the elders of Sisi and Sister Lingling have arrived?!"

Liu Feng's face was pale; he took a breath and looked forward.

The next moment, his expression became even more horrified!

More than ten meters away stood a beautiful young man in a gold-threaded white robe; his gaze was cold, and he was looking at him.

"Jiang Jian!"

Liu Feng looked at him blankly, a terrifying guess emerging in his heart.

"Could it be that Jiang Jian just made a move to relieve me?!"

"How is this possible!"

"These Zhou family direct descendants are all heaven-gifted talents at over 90% of the God-Given Realm!"

"Even one-on-one, I find it hard to deal with them, yet Jiang Jian actually blasted four or five people away at once!?"

Although he didn't want to believe it in his heart.

But the residual Qi fluctuations between the white-robed youth's sleeves clearly told Liu Feng.

His guess was very likely the truth!

Zhou Sisi and Zhou Lingling to the side also stopped, looking toward Jiang Jian, their mouths slightly agape.

Several Zhou family direct descendants lay on the ground, limbs splayed, occasionally letting out painful cries.

Zhou Qing had originally been wearing a look of triumph.

Seeing this scene, her expression couldn't help but freeze, shock appearing in her eyes.

"Who made the move?"

"The pretty boy Zhou Lingling found!?"

"How could it be him!"

"It really is him!"

"This cultivation has surpassed 100% of the God-Given Realm, at least equal to mine!"

"Zhou Lingling actually really found a helper!"

In an instant, countless thoughts had turned in Zhou Qing's heart.

But she quickly adjusted the expression on her face.

With a cold snort, she flicked her gauze sleeves, and as her Qi surged wildly, she rolled directly toward Jiang Jian!

As a heaven-gifted talent of the Zhou family.

Zhou Qing had never feared same-level combat!

Jiang Jian's gaze turned cold, and his figure suddenly turned into black light, dissipating in place!

The gale from Zhou Qing's gauze sleeves was extremely sharp, but it hit nothing, booming past and directly shredding half of the building!

The next moment.

Black light intertwined, and Jiang Jian stepped out from the void, his expression icy, his palm carrying frost-white flames, directly slamming onto Zhou Qing's shoulder!

A light screen condensed and appeared, forcefully blocking this palm!

Clang!

A piercing vibration spread in all directions!

But this palm force was vigorous, too tyrannical and overbearing.

It caused Zhou Qing's extremely solid protective light screen to instantly develop countless cracks!

Crack!

In the blink of an eye, the protective light screen was blasted into powder!

Jiang Jian's palm force, its momentum not yet exhausted, slammed fiercely onto Zhou Qing!

All of this happened too fast.

It was no more than a flash of lightning.

Zhou Qing's face turned pale; she had no time to react, her slender figure like a kite with a broken string, vomiting blood as she flew backward, forcefully blasted into the depths of the building's ruins!

Boom!

Zhou Qing, like a broken rag doll, smashed through the broken walls of the building one after another, kicking up dust that filled the sky!

Looking at this scene.

Liu Feng was completely stunned in place.

Zhou Lingling's pupils contracted sharply, her heart shaken, and she muttered: "That's Zhou Qing, a heaven-gifted talent at 102% of the God-Given Realm, and she was defeated just like that?"

Zhou Sisi, meanwhile, had vacant eyes, looking at Jiang Jian for a moment and then at the ruins of the building, as if she hadn't reacted yet.

All around, it was as silent as death.

Some Zhou family direct descendants struggled to stand up, staring fixedly at Jiang Jian, their eyes full of disbelief!

"What did I just see?"

"The Third Young Lady had her protective light screen blasted away with one palm, and without even time to react, she was beaten half to death!"

"I must have seen wrong!"

"A monster!"

"Is this a person?"

"So strong!?"

"Where did this monster come from!"

Several Zhou family direct descendants all barely stood up and huddled together.

The look in their eyes toward Jiang Jian was full of fear!

Zhou Lingling came back to her senses, walked over, and said coldly: "What are you still doing here? Why don't you go check on your Third Young Lady?"

Hearing this.

The few didn't dare to stay long, took one last look at Jiang Jian, and whispered to each other as they headed toward the ruins.

"Classmate Jiang Jian."

Zhou Lingling looked at Jiang Jian, her expression complex.

"I didn't expect you to be much more powerful than you were in the Star Ring Realm."

Back in the Star Ring Realm.

When Zhou Lingling met Jiang Jian, she had already seen with her own eyes that his combat power was extremely strong.

But at that time, Jiang Jian was in the cleaning team, and most of the time, he used the Hanging Mountain Seal to clean up trash.

Therefore, Zhou Lingling also thought in her heart that part of Jiang Jian's combat power indeed came from the Level 4 God-Given Weapon.

But just now, Jiang Jian, in full view of everyone, blasted Zhou Qing's protective light screen with one palm and sent her flying dozens of meters—this was an iron-clad fact.

This made Zhou Lingling feel even more horrified in her heart.

Zhou Qing was a Zhou family heaven-gifted talent at 102% of the God-Given Realm.

Her combat power was very strong and had always suppressed her.

But facing Jiang Jian, Zhou Qing had no power to fight back, not even time to react, and was defeated directly!

Then, to what extent would the gap between herself and him be?

Thinking about these things in her heart.

Zhou Lingling's gaze toward Jiang Jian became even more complex.

"Classmate Jiang Jian, thank you."

Liu Feng sighed and reached out to Jiang Jian, "I had some guesses and doubts about you just now; now it seems it was entirely me who didn't recognize a true master."

"Your cultivation, even if placed at Shangzhou University, could rank in the top three of the God-Given Realm!"

"Just as I said before, this exploration of the Shang Emperor's Tomb really depends on you."

Unlike just now.

When he said it the first time, Liu Feng's tone carried false politeness and scrutiny.

But now, saying the same words.

Liu Feng's tone was sincere, convinced, and there was nothing insincere in his words.

Jiang Jian said softly: "You're welcome."

Zhou Sisi, meanwhile, had complex and unspeakable feelings; she walked to Liu Feng's side, bit her lip, looked at Jiang Jian, and whispered: "Thank you for relieving my boyfriend."

She was just eccentric in personality, not stupid.

Seeing Jiang Jian's cultivation so terrifying with her own eyes.

Even Zhou Qing was not a match for a single blow.

Even Zhou Sisi, at this very moment, had to admit from the bottom of her heart.

Jiang Jian was not relying on a Level 4 God-Given Weapon.

Rather, he himself was a peerless heaven-gifted talent of the God-Given Realm!

"People are different; even if I gave you a Level 4 God-Given Weapon, if you could exert one-tenth of its power, I would think highly of you."

Recalling the words the female cleaning team member said to her with a sneer when they were at the Star Ring trash dump.

It made Zhou Sisi feel dazed for a moment.

"Yeah."

"Even if I were given a Level 4 God-Given Weapon, I couldn't exert its power."

"Actually, subconsciously, I knew this better than anyone."

"Before, I was always babbling nonsense, it was just jealousy at work."

"I was jealous of him, being about the same age as me, both in the God-Given Realm, not only being treated equally by the cleaning team but also being able to fight side-by-side with cleaning team members of the Spring Realm."

"While my cousin and I could only hide on the side, waiting to be allocated honor points."

As thoughts surged.

Zhou Sisi was dazed, letting her boyfriend hold her hand, following behind her cousin.

The massive combat warship rose into the sky.

It sailed far away toward the Zhou family ancestral land, the Shang Emperor's Tomb.

The cabin was spacious and bright, and the exquisite table was filled with expensive tea and snacks.

"Classmate Jiang Jian, please enjoy at your leisure."

Sitting down in turn, Zhou Lingling gestured with her hand, smiling, "Wait a while longer, and the aerial banquet will be ready; you can eat some desserts and fruits to whet your appetite."

Jiang Jian shook his head lightly and asked: "Have you studied the information on the Shang Emperor's Tomb?"

Hearing this, Zhou Lingling's expression turned slightly serious; she opened her identity device and said: "This is my first time going."

"However, I have quite a bit of information on the outer layers of the tomb."

"The Shang Emperor's Tomb is divided into deep layers and outer layers."

"Because the structure of the outer layers is unstable, to avoid triggering spiritual tides, they are basically left for juniors to explore."

"More often, the outer layers are used as competition grounds for the Zhou family clan competition."

"There are hundreds of entrances to the outer layers of the Shang Emperor's Tomb, and to this day, only a small half has been explored."

"This time, there are thirty teams."

"The competition rules should be to bring out thirty new entrances."

"Within the same amount of time, compete on exploration progress."

Zhou Lingling's tone was firm, "According to the rules, spiritual resources obtained from exploration are distributed by the team itself."

"This time, I don't want these."

"I want the competition ranking!"
