Chapter 306: Bathing in the Library, One Lesson a Month

Human plans are no match for heavenly plans; Hong Jishi told Jiang Chen to put away his Military Badge, but it was all in vain.

Jiang Chen's deeds spread quickly across the Alien Battlefield; people from the Creation Academy at Fortress No. 6 brought the news back to the Academy, and soon the whole world learned of Jiang Chen's feat.

The news that Jiang Chen single‑handedly killed a Level 70 Dragon War General at Fortress No. 6, even forcing the opponent to self‑detonate, spread like wildfire.

The Undead Legion's formidable performance has already become legend; even without the Undead Legion, Jiang Chen's own Skill displayed extraordinary power.

The rumors grew ever louder, elevating Jiang Chen to godlike stature.

In the Hong Shen Courtyard, Li Xueru was indifferent and reminded Hong Jishi whether he should step forward to calm things down.

Hong Jishi laughed, "Let them keep bragging; the more godlike they sound, the better. And I'm not ignoring it, just using a different approach."

He revealed that Jiang Chen has been at the Creation Academy these days, diligently making up for his knowledge, especially strategies against Abyssal Illusion Demon Demon.

Li Xueru smiled and asked, "What has this kid been doing at the Creation Academy?"

Hong Jishi replied proudly, "He's been reading, proactively filling the gaps of the Ancient Battlefield, especially regarding Abyssal Illusion Demon Demon, where he almost got lost."

Li Xueru agreed, saying that an excellent professional must understand both sides of the conflict.

Hong Jishi was pleased with Jiang Chen's proactive learning attitude.

Even if Jiang Chen hadn't mentioned it, he would have raised this requirement anyway.

Now Jiang Chen has taken the initiative to do it; having a disciple like that makes the teacher naturally happy.

Li Xueru gave a faint smile, "As for the hype outside, shall I give you a push?"

Hong Jishi laughed, "That would be perfect, after all I have few friends…"

Few friends; doing this kind of thing is beyond my strength.

Li Xueru laughed, "Who told you to keep offending people all the time?"

Jiang Chen has been hyped to godlike levels, with people even claiming he can duel the Demon King.

For several days in a row, the hype grew larger and more unreal.

Some even concocted bizarre stories, saying Jiang Chen truly went to the Abyss World to duel the Demon King.

All these strange tales spread across the globe.

Truth and falsehood intertwined, making it hard to tell.

Gradually, people began to sense something was off.

It seemed a hidden mastermind was pulling the strings.

The balloon of hype around Jiang Chen kept inflating, and one day it burst with a bang.

Most people realized that the stories about Jiang Chen were a lie.

In fact, Jiang Chen wasn't as impressive as the tales claimed.

Only the part about the Professional Competition was true.

The later mix of truth and falsehood became indistinguishable.

Most people instinctively thought the later stories were false.

After all, a Level 37 Divine General is hard to believe in the first place.

Hong Jishi grinned mischously, "Instead of stopping rumors, why not push them until they become so exaggerated that no one believes them? Then the rumor collapses itself."

Li Xueru said softly, "It's not entirely a rumor."

"Does it matter? Truth and falsehood need not be distinguished. I only know someone wants to use this to glorify and then kill my disciple, so I'll play along."

A faint murderous intent emanated from Hong Jishi, "The Demon Worship Society, those stinking rats have resurfaced again."

For more than ten days straight, Jiang Chen never left the Data Library of the Creation Academy.

The Data Library contained an overwhelming number of books; even those about the Abyss World numbered several…

hundreds.

Jiang Chen linked and combined the contents, gradually forming a knowledge system about the Abyss World in his mind.

The Abyss is far harsher than the Human Race; they practice the law of the jungle, with the victor becoming king.

Based on Bloodline, they are divided into four tiers: ordinary monsters, Ordinary Demon, Elite Demon, and Lord-level Demon.

By rank they are classified as low-level Demon, high-level Demon, Top-level Demon, and Demon King.

Beyond these, there are special demons such as Abyssal Illusion Demon Demon and Abyss Fire Spirit.

The entire Abyss World is extremely complex, far more so than the Human Race.

Elite Demon is comparable to a Mythic-level Profession for humans.

Lord-level Demon is a very powerful Hidden Profession.

Just like the Crimson Moon Demon we once encountered, which is a type of Elite Demon.

Its strength indeed far exceeds that of ordinary demons of the same rank.

Jiang Chen also grasped the demons' evolution process.

Regardless of the type, the ultimate evolution endpoint is the Demon King.

The Demon King is a Divine-level Strongman among the Human Race.

However, a Demon King arising from an Ordinary Demon differs noticeably from one born of an Elite Demon.

The data clearly states that the Flame Demon King evolves from an Ordinary Demon.

The Enchantress Demon King, however, evolves from an Elite Demon.

The two differ considerably in power, and their status also varies.

Jiang Chen closed the book and shut his eyes to contemplate.

"No wonder that Top-level Succubus is so powerful, able to contend with the Ancient Luan Bird; it's actually an Elite Demon."

The Succubus race is an Elite Demon.

The higher their rank, the stronger the Elite Demon Bloodline becomes.

The Enchantress Demon King's strength can rank among the top Abyss Demon Kings.

ten.

Among the top ten Abyss Demon Kings, the Human Race has recorded only five of them.

The strongest is a demon king ranked fourth.

Black Sky Demon King.

When Jiang Chen saw the Black Sky Demon King, he recalled the Hei Tian Mo Zi he had once forced to self‑destruct.

He didn't expect it to be a later Demon King.

Jiang Chen instinctively felt that the Hei Tian Mo Zi hadn't died; it should have been reborn through the Soul Mark Rebirth Method.

The Human Race's Soul Mark Rebirth Method was learned from the Abyss Demon.

Since the Human Race can be reborn, a demon king can naturally do so as well.

It seems there will be future clashes.

"If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time, a third time."

He stood up, returned the pile of books on the table to the shelves, and fetched some other books.

This time they were books about the Dragon Race, and Jiang Chen once again plunged into a sea of knowledge.

The wind and rain outside were none of his concern.

Jiang Chen seemed to have taken root in the Data Library, cramming a massive amount of knowledge.

Level 37 Divine Power provided a powerful regenerative ability.

It allowed Jiang Chen to stay awake without rest, always maintaining abundant energy.

The trainees in the Creation Academy were all stunned.

Since joining the academy, Jiang Chen skipped classes and training, spending all day in the Data Library.

He was completely planning to self‑study.

But self‑study can't compare to a teacher's instruction.

Besides the exaggerated legends about him, Jiang Chen was also labeled a weirdo by them.

A month later, rumors about Jiang Chen in the outside world gradually subsided.

Everyone now had a new focus.

The Dragon Race's new base on the Alien Battlefield was officially completed; the Dragon Race's construction was massive, building nine military bases at once to guard the central Dragon Kingdom City.

The entire Dragon Base spanned over a thousand kilometers.

At the moment of completion, a massive

defensive array linked the base into a single whole.

From then on, this region belonged to the Dragon Race.

Troops of the Dragon Race stationed there, exuding impressive momentum.

After being away for over a thousand years, the Dragon Race returned this time, brimming with strength.

On the day the base was completed, a massive phantom appeared in the Dragon Kingdom City, and a Dragon Race sovereign arrived.

With a single command, the Dragon Army surged out of the base, charging straight toward the Abyss.

The Dragon base's location moved closer to the Abyss Entrance, where a great battle unfolded.

The Dragon sovereign also entered the Abyss, engaging in a fierce battle with the Abyss Demon King.

It is said that more than one Dragon sovereign was deployed.

A month ago, when the Dragon Race returned, they simultaneously attacked the Human Race and the Abyss.

That scale was already considerable, but compared with this time, it was truly a small witch meeting a great witch.

The Dragon Race's massive assault on the Abyss was to avenge the arrow feud from a thousand years ago.

After conquering the Abyss, they will inevitably attack the Human Race again.

The last was just an appetizer; the real war is yet to come.

The war's dark clouds have already hovered overhead.

People's attention has also shifted to the impending war.

The inter‑species war is imminent.

All clans, prepare for battle!

Jiang Chen, in the Data Library, knew nothing of these matters.

It wasn't until the communicator on his wrist vibrated that it woke him.

He glanced at the time and, without noticing, more than a month had already passed.

During that month, he read over a hundred books.

He not only absorbed the knowledge in the books but also integrated and linked them together.

He gained a deep understanding of the Abyss Demon and the Dragon Race, forming his own system.

Perhaps he still doesn't match those erudite seniors, but he already far surpasses most trainees.

No longer

will happen things like Abyss Magic.

He answered the communicator, "Dean, what's the matter?"

"Divine General Jiang, sorry to disturb you, please step out for a moment," Yi Qianfan's deep voice sounded from the communicator.

Jiang Chen looked up and, through the huge floor‑to‑ceiling window, saw Yi Qianfan standing outside the Data Library.
