Chapter 300: At Such a Low Level, Yet Becomes a Divine General

The Mushroom Cloud rose into the sky, and the explosion seemed intent on destroying everything.

The shockwave swept the earth, and the Fortress a kilometer away roared with a massive blast, trembling continuously.

The sturdy walls seemed about to collapse at that moment, and countless Giant Stones rained down.

The tops of many taller buildings exploded simultaneously, and the interior of the Fortress was filled with scattered stones.

A Level 70 Dragon War General self‑detonated, causing severe damage even to the sturdy Fortress a kilometer away.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and for a moment there was no sound.

Luo Jun's complexion turned very grim.

He knew that Jiang Chen was destined to die in this cataclysmic explosion.

An explosion of this magnitude, even for a Level 70 Human Professional, is almost impossible to survive unless one is of the Knight type.

Moreover, Jiang Chen is only Level 37.

Although its combat power is great—one person can wipe out an entire army—it is not even a match for a Level 70 Dragon War General.

But its weakness is also obvious: its level is too low.

Its attributes and vitality are insufficient.

Luo Jun did not misjudge; he had already sensed Jiang Chen's vitality.

Compared with an ordinary Level 37 professional, the difference is not large.

It still cannot surpass a Level 37 Knight.

Lin Suqiu's mouth twitched repeatedly, wanting to speak but unable to say anything.

After a while, he said regretfully, "What a pity."

Luo Jun also sighed, "Alas, I didn't expect the opponent to self‑detonate; it seems Jiang Chen truly forced it into a dead end."

Lin Suqiu whispered, "The Dragon Race probably didn't anticipate that even after restricting Jiang Chen's Summon skill, he still possesses such formidable combat power."

Without using the "Strong Soldier" skill and without the Undead Legion, Jiang Chen is certainly not a Level 70 Dragon War General's

opponent.

It can only be said that his timing was off.

If he arrived ten more seconds later, Jiang Chen would have been the one to retreat.

Everyone felt regret for Jiang Chen.

The self‑detonation's light gradually faded, and the Mushroom Cloud vanished.

Within everyone's sight, a human silhouette appeared.

The figure was bathed in White Light, wearing familiar Bone Armor.

At that moment he was walking back slowly, appearing completely unscathed.

"Good heavens! He actually didn't die."

"That's just perverse—surviving such a self‑detonation."

"How did he manage that..."

"His defensive skill, so perverse."

No one dared to believe it.

Jiang Chen was still alive.

The ones most delighted to see Jiang Chen alive were Luo Jun and Lin Suqiu.

From their perspective, the Human Race needs a genius like Jiang Chen.

Such a genius might not appear even once in a hundred years.

If he can mature, it would be a great boon for the Human Race.

Jiang Chen returned to the Fortress completely unscathed.

The Skeletons are rapidly recovering within the Summon Queue.

The Level 70 Dragon War General's self‑detonation indeed had massive power.

The Bone Armor shattered instantly, damage transfer took effect, and a massive amount of damage was shifted onto the Skeletons and the Lich General.

The Summon Life Link talent also played its part.

All damage was collectively borne by all the Skeletons and the Lich General.

Although the group suffered heavy wounds, not a single Skeleton died.

Within the Summon Queue, they can fully recover in less than half a day.

For Jiang Chen, it was without any injury.

"Self‑detonation attacks seem to be primarily physical."

"I have a 50% immunity to physical damage, which reduced the harm I took."

"But we must be careful in the future; if two Dragon War Generals or Top-level Demons simultaneously

self‑detonate, I reckon it would become dangerous."

"If I encounter a self‑detonation from a BOSS above Level 60, I might not be able to endure it."

Jiang Chen weighed it in his mind and reached a conclusion.

As a Summoner, he is still a Magic Class profession.

He originally shouldn't have charged at the front.

He merely relied on the passive Damage Transfer skill and overlooked this point.

Now, facing enemies of ever‑higher levels, he must also take it seriously.

"If I had defensive power like the Lich General, I would be much safer."

The Lich General's constitution attributes are extremely high; both defensive power and vitality are the highest among all Summoned Entities.

If one could be like the Lich General, it would naturally be much safer.

But that's only a thought; in theory, it's impossible.

Even if he became a Knight, he still wouldn't reach the Lich General's level.

The Lich General, however, sacrificed the three major attributes, making his constitution uniquely high.

His thoughts snapped back from his own contemplation.

He immediately felt countless reverent gazes.

Inside the Fortress, all the soldiers and the vast majority of professionals were looking at Jiang Chen.

It was as if they were looking at a returning hero.

They all performed a marching salute toward Jiang Chen.

"Divine General, good!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

The purple Military Badge radiated an air of nobility.

Even though it has not a single star, a Divine General is still a Divine General.

Within the Human Race's military system, it is the most noble existence.

In the Shenlong Empire, even the twelve senators who wield the empire's voice are of lower status than a Divine General.

When they see a Divine General, they also must bow respectfully.

The army is the foundation of the Shenlong Empire; it is irreplaceable.

A Divine General is a rank, and also a contribution.

Jiang Chen faced

the crowd nodded in acknowledgement.

Just this one action made all the soldiers present feel honored and astonished.

In their minds, a Divine General is the lifelong goal of their struggle.

And this goal, Jiang Chen achieved at Level 37.

He is a genius, the topmost talent of this era.

Luo Jun and Lin Suqiu stepped down from the command platform, came to Jiang Chen's side, and saluted together.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "Master Lin, long time no see."

Lin Suqiu laughed heartily, "Divine General Jiang, long time no see. From the start I saw you were extraordinary, never thought you'd become a Divine General so quickly."

Jiang Chen also laughed, "It was just a stroke of luck. Thank you for presiding over my awakening ceremony that day. Perhaps if someone else had hosted it, I would have awakened into a different profession."

Lin Suqiu, hearing this, felt pleased, her old face blooming like a chrysanthemum, "Not at all, it's because Divine General Lin has good aptitude; I only drew a Job Change array."

Luo Jun laughed, "No need to be polite here; the war in our Fortress is over. Divine General Jiang, where will you go next?"

Jiang Chen asked, "How are the other Fortresses doing?"

Lin Suqiu replied, "I already asked earlier; they're fairly stable. Divine General Lin, do you want to go support another Fortress?"

Jiang Chen shook his head, "Since they're stable, I won't go to snatch military merit. I grabbed everyone's military merit this time, so I want to apologize to everyone here first."

Jiang Chen's voice reached everyone's ears; everyone hurriedly waved it away, saying it wasn't necessary.

Although the military merit was taken by Jiang Chen alone, the Ya Long Army was also destroyed by Jiang Chen alone.

They spent the whole time watching the show, not moving a muscle.

Even when dividing military merit, Jiang Chen took the lion's share.

What could fall onto them would barely keep them alive.

Even then, only a few hundred.

A few hundred military merits make little difference whether they have them or not.

Besides, Jiang Chen did all their work, so they didn't have to go up and fight to the death.

So no one blames Jiang Chen.

At this moment, the Teleportation Array lit up, and a knight clad in armor burst out of it.

He was wind‑blown and weary, his battle spirit still unwaned, clearly having just withdrawn from the battlefield.

From his aura, he was a Top-tier Professional.

The knight, rushing out of the Teleportation Array, shouted loudly, "Where is the Dragon War General?"

The moment he finished speaking, he sensed nothing; it was too quiet here, with no hint of war at all.

It was completely different from the situation in Fortress No. 8.

Luo Jun laughed, "The Dragon War General is already dead."

The knight froze for a moment, his gaze sweeping, "How did he die? You haven't even reached Level 60, how could you kill the Dragon War General?"

He had fought the Dragon War General before and knew how powerful the Dragon War General was.

Luo Jun said, "He self‑destructed; Jiang Divine General forced him into a corner, so he blew himself up."

Jiang… Divine General?

The knight was even more bewildered, "Aren't the Divine Generals all in Fortress No. 9?"

When did they come to Fortress No. 6?

But he didn't doubt Luo Jun's words.

Following Luo Jun's gaze, he saw Jiang Chen.

He also saw the dazzling purple Military Badge on Jiang Chen's shoulder.

Divine General…

No star, but still a Divine General.

He instantly stood straight and noted for Jiang Chen, "Divine Knight Dong Feng, have met the Divine General."

Dong Feng's military rank is Colonel.

He is still far from the Divine General.

Jiang Chen nodded, "Hello Colonel Dong Feng, thank you for coming to support."

Dong Feng shouted, "I'm acting on orders; with the Divine General here, a mere Dragon War General is nothing at all."

"

He paid no attention at all to Jiang Chen's level.

In his mind, Jiang Chen must have used some method to conceal his own level.

Level 37 is only a façade.

In reality, he could already be Level 87, perhaps.

After a few words of small talk with them, Jiang Chen, under Luo Jun's arrangement, went to rest.

He still cannot leave the Otherworld Battlefield; he must wait until the battles at the other Fortresses are all finished.

Sitting in the hut, Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh, "I never expected to be Level 37 in the blink of an eye."

"Skipping over ten‑something Instance runs actually saved a lot of effort."

"It's a pity the Corpse Explosion Skill didn't manage to upgrade."
