Chapter 192: Long Que

The remaining villagers, same as before, each received one ladle of well water.

Resource allocation was quickly completed.

At this moment,

the black well water in the village well had reached the bottom.

Jiang Jian's gaze was calm; he walked to the side of the well, flicked his robe sleeve, and directly activated his spiritual energy!

Boom!

More pitch-black well water surged out through the special array!

As the well filled up, Jiang Jian's Shenque spiritual energy was now only a small fraction left.

"The remaining spiritual energy can fill the well one more time."

After estimating for a moment, Jiang Jian put away the wooden box, still not consuming the Soul-Returning Pill.

Here, spiritual energy could not be restored.

The Soul-Returning Pill was an incredibly important resource.

Not only did catalyzing well water require spiritual energy,

but materializing God-Bestowed Weapons and talent light orbs through the well array also required a large amount of spiritual energy!

Even for Jiang Jian, he had to ensure sufficient backup spiritual energy while maintaining a crushing advantage!

"Two rounds of battles have passed; these Saint Selections should have all come to their senses by now."

Jiang Jian returned to the stone platform, examining his villagers, a golden vortex rising in the depths of his pupils.

"The battle frequency is too high; saving spiritual energy is simply not a solution!"

"Only by constantly securing victories and obtaining Soul-Returning Pills can one maintain full combat readiness in every battle!"

While pondering,

his gaze fell upon a young man.

This person was numbered 9; he had abundant blood energy and was much stronger than the other villagers.

"Number 9, you may drink one more ladle of well water!"

Jiang Jian spoke in a deep voice, flicked his robe sleeve, and the phantom of the Calling Qingci appeared, merging into the well!

"Bolster with Calling Qingci!"

Hearing the voice,

Number 9 looked up abruptly, his eyes revealing wild joy: "Thank you, my lord Saint Selection!"

He stepped forward, and amidst the envious gazes of the other villagers, he scooped up that ladle of well water and drank it in one gulp!

Boom!

The flesh and blood around his body changed color, his tendons and bones protruded, and green light bloomed between his fists and palms!

Seeing this scene,

Number 1's expression became even gloomier!

The resources that each Saint Selection could allocate were extremely limited!

In Number 1's mind, if all these resources were concentrated on himself,

then he would definitely be able to survive to the end!

Soon,

the next round of assigned battles began again!

This time, Jiang Jian's village was still the attacking side!

Number 7 had the most brilliant performance!

After ruthlessly killing two villagers, she found an opportunity and used her trump card.

Bolstered by the seven-colored light rainbow around her body, her speed surged, and she touched the opponent's well!

Jiang Jian's side was directly judged as the winner!

"3rd assignment, battle victory!"

The notification sound rang out again.

Another Soul-Returning Pill.

This time, after Jiang Jian filled the well, his Shenque spiritual energy was finally exhausted.

The golden spring spiritual energy was still not used.

Jiang Jian chose to consume one Soul-Returning Pill.

"One Soul-Returning Pill can only restore 30% of my Shenque spiritual energy."

After taking the pill,

Jiang Jian frowned slightly.

According to the pill's grade, one Soul-Returning Pill should almost fully restore the spiritual energy of a creature just entering the Spring Realm!

But his own spiritual essence limit was simply too high.

Such a useful Soul-Returning Pill could only restore 30%!

"It should be enough."

Jiang Jian calmed his mind and began to allocate resources.

Through watching the battle just now,

Jiang Jian noticed

that many Saint Selections had already begun to increase their resource investment!

The opposing villagers were at least starting with one ladle of well water.

Some even drank three ladles of well water alone!

God-Bestowed Weapons and talent light orbs were being bolstered crazily as if they cost nothing!

The combat pressure faced by the villagers had increased dramatically!

"Number 7, Number 1, Number 9, three ladles of well water each."

"Materialized bolstering remains unchanged."

Jiang Jian sat on the stone platform and spoke coldly, "The remaining villagers, one ladle each."

Hearing this,

the three people in front had different expressions.

The seven people mentioned later had their expressions change, some panicking.

They could clearly perceive that the upcoming battles would only become increasingly difficult!

But Jiang Jian had made it very clear.

If you want to save your life and get more resources, trade for it with battle records!

Just like Number 7, at the beginning, she only had one ladle of well water!

But she had performed outstandingly, killing two villagers alone, which was why she received resource priority!

At this very moment,

her status was even above Number 1!

On the stone platform,

Jiang Jian thought quietly, not caring about the thoughts of the villagers below.

These villagers were all creatures from the Earth-Moon Academy world, voluntarily participating in the Saint Selection ceremony to seek the one-in-ten-thousand chance to cultivate.

Under this mode, the villagers who finally survived to the end would not have poor talent in any aspect!

In the Earth-Moon Academy world, the number of local creatures with the opportunity to cultivate was very small.

But among them, the proportion of those in the Spring Realm or even the Divine Palace Realm far exceeded that of the Earth-Moon Four Realms!

This was because

in the Earth-Moon Four Realms, everyone was forced to participate in the God-Bestowed Great Examination.

Everyone could open their Shenque acupoint at the God-Bestowed ceremony and obtain a native talent.

On Earth, everyone could cultivate.

But in the Earth-Moon Academy world, this was not the case.

These local creatures had to go through a "Saint Selection ceremony" where they had to experience ten thousand deaths to even get a chance to participate in the God-Bestowed ceremony.

Creatures selected through this method,

once they opened their Shenque and began to cultivate,

regardless of the grade or type of God-Bestowed talent they obtained,

they would all cherish this opportunity to cultivate immensely.

Because this opportunity was something they had fought for with their lives from among tens of thousands of people!

Beneath their feet were the corpses and bones of tens of thousands!

The Saint Palace once had data statistics.

Even if a local creature obtained a Level 1 "Body" talent,

the proportion of them breaking into the Spring Realm exceeded 60%!

Such a terrifying proportion was unimaginable in the Earth-Moon Four Realms!

Although this included the bolstering of Earth's initial star ring and the abundant spiritual energy of the Second Realm,

it also showed that for a creature's cultivation, firm belief was incredibly important!

"Assignment starting!"

"Assignment successful!"

An hour passed, and the battle began.

Jiang Jian's side was randomly assigned to the attacking side again.

On the array screen in front of the stone platform, Number 7 was surrounded by surging rainbow light, her goal very clear, pointing straight at the well!

The young man Number 9 clearly saw this.

The next second, he did not hesitate, using the Green Vine Paper phantom to blast two villagers away with one punch to cover Number 7!

When he struck, he held back quite a bit of strength, so the injuries were not fatal.

Clearly,

deep in his heart, there was kindness.

But the next moment,

several other enemy villagers noticed that Number 9 was temporarily weak and attacked together!

Boom!

Number 9's shoulder collapsed, he spat blood, his bones snapped, and he flew backward!

If it weren't for the fact that he had drunk three ladles of black well water during the resource allocation, making his body incredibly tough,

he would have died right here from just this one blow!

Just as the other villagers revealed ferocious expressions and surrounded him,

the Ladder Array descended and swept him away.

The battle ended abruptly!

Number 7 had already touched the well!

"4th assignment, battle victory!"

The notification sound rang out.

Jiang Jian was expressionless as he looked at the 10 villagers below.

Among them, there were a few who hid at the back every time, pretending to fight.

In reality, they were just going through the motions.

Sensing the Saint Selection's gaze,

these people lowered their heads, clearly feeling guilty.

Jiang Jian moved his gaze away and did not say much.

Instead, he continued to allocate resources based on battle records.

He didn't need to worry about these people at all.

In the cruel combat, these people would definitely not make it to the end.

As time passed,

battle after battle was won!

"4th assignment, battle victory!"

"5th assignment, battle victory!"

"49th assignment, battle victory!"

Two days passed.

Jiang Jian's battle record remained perfect!

Boom!

The Ladder Array appeared!

The young girl Number 7 had an icy expression as she walked out first.

Around her body was the phantom of a mysterious black phoenix!

During this period, she had advanced bravely and acted decisively.

Whether in offensive or defensive battles, she had made great contributions every time!

Jiang Jian manifested his Shenque spiritual essence attribute to bolster her!

Number 7 carried the Long Que phantom, crushing everything with fierce killing power, and was almost invincible in offensive and defensive battles!

Behind the young girl Number 7, the remaining 9 people walked out in sequence.

Each of them was covered in wounds, their expressions cold and solemn!

Compared to the beginning,

the current 10 villagers, except for Number 7 and Number 1, had all been replaced several times!
