Chapter 292: So Mighty, He Looted the Demon Dragon

Jiang Chen was a bit confused, not understanding why Li Xueru was laughing.

He felt there might be something amusing, but the details were unclear.

Li Xueru laughed more and more heartily, making Hong Jishi and Yi Qianjue look embarrassed.

Jiang Chen sensed there might be a story behind it, but still didn't quite get it.

Yi Qianjue hummed discontentedly, "Lao Li, what are you laughing at?"

Hong Jishi also knew what joke Li Xueru was making, so he added, "Yeah, what's so funny? Why don't you go up and try it yourself?"

Li Xueru still smiled and said, "Back then, you two, leading a group, went to fight the Soul‑Eating Insect Mother. In the end you did nothing and were scared off by the Soul‑Eating Insect King."

He added, "Later, still unsatisfied, you went to find the Earth Touch Dragon God. After fighting for half an hour, you almost died from poison. What a pitiful sight."

Hong Jishi snorted, "You were the same back then; we invited you to go together, you refused, and then you mocked us afterward."

Li Xueru defended, "I knew we couldn't win, so why embarrass ourselves?"

Hong Jishi stopped paying attention to Li Xueru; those two battles were indeed among his few defeats. Though downplayed, they were still unpleasant to hear.

Li Xueru often teased him about it, and this time Yi Qianjue got drawn into it as well.

Yi Qianjue had been urged by Hong Jishi to go together to fight the BOSS, but ended up with nothing.

Jiang Chen was rather surprised: was the BOSS really that tough? Even Hong Jishi hadn't taken it down back then.

Hong Jishi cleared his throat lightly, easing the awkwardness, "What loot did the Soul‑Eating Insect Mother and Soul‑Eating Insect King each drop?"

Jiang Chen answered honestly, "There are three valuable items, namely Soul"

"Gem, and Soul‑Eating Insect Egg.'"

"There are 15 Soul Crystals, each permanently increasing Spirit by 1,000 points, with unlimited uses."

"Soul Gem can permanently increase Spirit Recovery Speed."

"And Soul‑Eating Insect Egg can hatch into a Soul‑Eating Insect Mother."

Hong Jishi was shocked again, "Did you use both the Soul Crystals and the Soul Gem?"

"Used them." Later, thanks to those two items, they gave Jiang Chen great convenience in the Ancient Battlefield.

Otherwise, just the Earth Touch Dragon God would have given him a headache.

Even drinking the military's Healing Potion, Spirit might not recover fully.

Moreover, replenishing the Undead Legion relied on the surged Spirit to be completed.

Hong Jishi continued to ask, "So how high is your Spirit Attribute now?"

Jiang Chen checked and said, "22,300."

Hong Jishi was a bit hesitant to surround, and Yi Qianjue exclaimed, "What a high Spirit."

This Spirit Attribute is already higher than that of a Level 40 mage.

But Jiang Chen is only th Level now, hasn't completed the second Job Change, and the attribute hasn't been boosted yet.

Hong Jishi laughed heartily, "High Spirit is good; the more boundaries you break, the higher the chance of Profession Ascension. Even if you haven't found the Divine Selection Secret Realm or obtained Divine Power, with your current Spirit, Profession Ascension is a sure thing."

"Continue, how did you defeat the Earth Touch Dragon God later, and what did you get? That guy is hard to deal with."

Jiang Chen recounted the whole process of dealing with the Earth Touch Dragon God, and mentioned that a little Succubus had deliberately lured her there.

Up to this point, Jiang Chen added a line, Demon

"The Demon seemed to have planted a scent on him, but he didn't notice."

Yi Qianjue, upon hearing, had the Summoned Beast emit a holy White Light that enveloped Jiang Chen.

With a "whoosh" sound, a puff of dark energy rose from Jiang Chen and dissipated in the holy radiance.

Jiang Chen sincerely thanked Yi Qianjue, "Thank you, Elder Yi."

Yi Qianjue shook her hand, "Continue, what did the Earth Touch Dragon God drop?"

He harbored deep resentment toward the Earth Touch Dragon God; that battle back then he was defeated in a pitiful way.

"Mainly Poisonous Gem and Poisonous Crystal."

Jiang Chen briefly explained the effects of those two items.

Yi Qianjue whispered, "Compared to the Soul‑Eating Insect Mother, the Earth Touch Dragon God is clearly far weaker."

Hong Jishi shook his head, "It's hard to say; after all, it has a Poison Star Ring skill. Poison‑type skills are extremely Rare, and the All‑Human Race can hardly find a few."

"Indeed, poison‑type skills are truly uncommon."

This time, they weren't overly shocked, at least not as much as before.

Jiang Chen continued, saying that later he encountered Yi Ning and simultaneously completed the fusion of the Original Rune.

Just as the fusion was about to complete, the Demons launched another attack on him…

One case after another, even a Divine‑level Strongman like Hong Jishi was left somewhat dumbfounded.

Especially upon hearing that Yi Ning also obtained the Primordial Rune.

Yi Qianjue was even more shocked, mouth agape, holding a cup of tea without drinking or putting it down.

Even the usually most composed Li Xueru couldn't help but open his eyes.

No one could have imagined that in just over two months, Jiang Chen had gone through so much.

Even a single incident mentioned could shock people for a long time.

Adding them together, they all scared the Divine‑level Strongmen

not lightly.

"Later we entered the Divine Selection Secret Realm together and obtained Divine Power."

"Then I met a gathering master's profession, and together we ran the Earth Core instance a few times; I obtained some Heart of Earth and Earth Gem inside."

Jiang Chen said as he took out the Hearts of Earth and Earth Gems.

In total there were 10 Hearts of Earth and 2 Earth Gems.

Jiang Chen kept two pieces for himself, set aside for Wu Lingdong.

Li Xueru's eyes brightened, and with a casual move the Heart of Earth appeared before him.

After careful observation, Li Xueru sighed, "With these, the Human Race might once again produce an Earth Knight."

It's not a hundred‑percent certainty, just a possibility.

Li Xueru is very cautious; unless something has happened, they will never affirm it with absolute certainty.

Hong Jishi was also a bit excited at this moment, "It's been many years since the Human Race has produced an Earth Knight."

Jiang Chen said, "The Heart of Earth and the Earth Gem, I kept two of each. I have a friend who is a Holy Knight, and I want to give them to him when he does a Job Change."

Hong Jishi slapped his chest, "No problem. When your friend needs a Job Change, come to Shenlong City. I'll help with the change and guarantee the Profession Ascension chance is raised to the maximum."

"Thank you, teacher."

Li Xueru gathered the Heart of Earth and the Earth Gem, "Jiang Chen youngster, you have done a great service for the Human Race this time; later I will reward you properly."

Jiang Chen hurriedly replied, "It's what I should do."

"Later, the Flame Tyrant tried to kill me and sent out an Abyss Illusion Demon."

"But he didn't succeed."

"Then Yi Ning found the Demon Dragon Hall, and I went to grind the Demon Dragon Hall."

Jiang Chen stopped there.

Even if that's the end of his story.

Jiang Chen concealed the experience in the Core Area and didn't even mention the matter of the Ancient Earth Dragon itself.

His intuition told him there was no need to say it.

Moreover, being chased so badly by the Ancient Luan Bird made Jiang Chen feel a bit embarrassed.

Now he can truly understand Hong Jishi.

Yi Qianjue asked softly, "I recall the Demon Dragon Hall instance; the competition for it has always been fierce."

Hong Jishi said, "It was indeed fierce; back in our days we also had to fight a massive battle before we could break in."

Jiang Chen said, "When I arrived, the Three Races were in a great battle, and I then rushed in."

"When I went inside, many Human Profession Teams also entered."

"Later they stopped fighting; outside the instance there was no one left, everyone went inside to grind Dragon Crystals."

Hong Jishi hadn't expected such a thing to happen, but once he thought about it, he understood.

The balance of the Three Races was disrupted by Jiang Chen's arrival, causing everyone to enter the instance.

Jiang Chen suddenly said, "By the way, teacher, I killed the Hei Mo Long and obtained a Dragon King Certificate, which lets me enter the Dragon King Hall instance in the Lower Space."

Hong Jishi was surprised again, "A Dragon King Certificate—so many people have dreamed of having that."

"However, those who obtain it are extremely few; the Dragon King Hall instance is in the Lower Space. You'll know the details once you go, so I won't say more."

Li Xueru bluntly pierced Hong Jishi's words, "What do you mean 'won't say more'? This guy has never even entered the Dragon King Hall."

Hong Jishi said coldly, "Lao Li, that's not very fun."

Li Xueru chuckled, "If you have the ability, hit me."

Jiang Chen watched this pair.

Old friends, smiling, produced 200 Dragon Crystals, "Teacher, these are the leftover Dragon Crystals."

"That's so many!"

Hong Jishi and Yi Qianjue both sprang up instantly.

Looking at the table piled with a mountain of Dragon Crystals, both were dumbfounded.

Hong Jishi whispered, "How many runs of the Demon Dragon Hall have you done? You didn't copy the Demon Dragon's Old Nest, did you?"

Thinking of Jiang Chen's relentless grinding of the Tyrant instance day after day for Desert Fruit.

Given time, Hong Jishi believes he can definitely accomplish it.

Jiang Chen said, "Most of them came from those Abyss Demons and the Dragon Race."

Jiang Chen repeated how he blocked the door.

Only then did they notice that Jiang Chen's shoulder, hidden by his hair, bore a Military Badge.

The golden badge......
