Chapter 323: Teacher Ao's Guidance, the Two Onlookers

Ao Hongchen had never had such a shocking experience; even for someone as seasoned as Ao Hongchen, Jiang Chen's statement completely overturned his understanding.

In Jiang Chen's expression, Ao Hongchen saw truth and was convinced that Jiang Chen was not talking nonsense.

Although he had already obtained Divine Power Level 5, standing at the same height as Hong Jishi, the Level 39 Divine Power that Jiang Chen mentioned far exceeded the limits of Human Race history.

"You... how did you do it?" Ao Hongchen couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Chen narrated in detail how he obtained Divine Power, and also shared his profession's traits, but he did not mention anything about the Divine Continent Cauldron.

Ao Hongchen had never seen the Necromancer Summoner profession before, but he guessed it must be a newly emerged vocation.

Every decade or so, the Human Race always produces some new professions, which Ao Hongchen did not find surprising.

He spent many years in the Bloody Land, so his knowledge of the outside world was not very deep.

When he heard Jiang Chen describe his profession's traits, Ao Hongchen was not only shocked but also couldn't help a hint of envy in his eyes.

Jiang Chen's Skill could automatically upgrade as his level rose; the only requirement was to refine the Skill to match his own level.

Given Ao Hongchen's temperament, he couldn't help feeling envy toward Jiang Chen.

Such a profession trait is truly outstanding.

Recalling his own arduous experience of refining Skills, Ao Hongchen couldn't help lamenting that comparing oneself to others is infuriating.

Staring at Jiang Chen, he asked, "You mean you reached the end of the Divine Selection Secret Realm, and then the Divine Selection Secret Realm exploded?"

Jiang Chen nodded, "Yes, that's exactly it."

Ao Hongchen said thoughtfully, "In that case...

... there's a good chance that there will never be another Divine Selection Secret Realm in the future."

"Who else did you tell about this?" he pressed.

Jiang Chen replied, "Teacher Hong and senior Li Xueru both know, as does you."

Ao Hongchen nodded, "Since Li Xueru knows, let him handle it; we don't need to worry any more."

Ao Hongchen thought for a moment, then continued, "Since your Divine Power level is so high, some plans will have to change."

"I ask you, am I afraid of death?"

Jiang Chen answered directly, "I don't know."

Having never truly experienced death, who can say they aren't afraid of it.

At least Jiang Chen wouldn't dare.

Ao Hongchen was satisfied with Jiang Chen's answer, "Hmm, that's the truth; between life and death there is great terror, claiming you're not afraid is false."

"Then I'll ask you again: if, before the chance to become a Super Divine-level Strongman, there is a fifty percent chance of death, are you still afraid?"

Super Divine-level Strongman...

A strongman surpassing Divine-level...

Goo-dong!

Jiang Chen couldn't help swallowing.

His gaze became resolute, "I will still be afraid, but I will fight. If I fail, I will accept death calmly."

Ao Hongchen pressed further, "What if you have to face such a life-or-death choice twice?"

Jiang Chen said in a deep voice, "I still stand by my choice."

Afraid of death, yet unafraid of it.

Although Jiang Chen still does not understand what a Super Divine-level Strongman truly is.

He doesn't even grasp how powerful a Divine-level Strongman can be.

But his determination to become stronger will not waver.

Ao Hongchen suddenly burst into hearty laughter, "Not bad, not bad; I'm very satisfied with your answer."

"Since that's the case, let me tell you what you need to do next."

Jiang Chen endured excruciating pain and listened carefully.

Ao Hongchen's task for him is

the key still lies in the Bloodthirsty Python meat.

It is a miraculous beast meat, a relic of ancient lineage.

The Miracle Potion is extracted from its flesh and blood.

Jiang Chen had just eaten the Bloodthirsty Python meat, raising All Attributes by 2000, ten times stronger than the effect of a Beginner Miracle Potion.

The next time he eats it, he must wait until he reaches Level 50 or even Level 60.

Ao Hongchen had originally planned it that way.

Now it's different.

Jiang Chen possesses extremely strong Divine Power, so the earlier he boosts his base attributes, the greater the benefit.

Each level-up's gain will correspondingly become larger.

Thus, the later it gets, the more exaggerated the attribute gap becomes.

Even Ao Hongchen finds it hard to estimate how far Jiang Chen's final attributes can reach.

This is also the most crucial step toward becoming a Super Divine-level Strongman.

According to Ao Hongchen's new plan, Jiang Chen must, at the start of his second Job Change, consume Bloodthirsty Python meat a second time.

Using the meat's properties to cause a massive attribute surge.

At the same time, during the second Job Change, he will undergo Profession Ascension.

Ideally, he can also awaken a new talent.

Laying the most solid foundation for the future.

However, doing so carries great risk.

Just as Ao Hongchen said, a fifty‑fifty chance—whether life or death, it all comes down to luck.

Jiang Chen whispered, "Master, my luck has always been good."

Ao Hongchen laughed heartily, "Very good, very good, wait, I'll bring you a piece of Python heart meat."

When his words fell, Ao Hongchen surged skyward, striking the heavens at ten thousand li.

The same Bloodthirsty Python meat, but from different parts, yields vastly different effects; the disparity is huge.

The best part is the Python brain, then the Python heart meat, and the worst is meat from any other part.

Python

The brain is hard to obtain; according to Ao Hongchen, the Human Race hasn't gotten a Python brain for a long time.

Python heart meat is also not easy to obtain; the Intermediate Miracle Potion is made using Python heart meat.

Python heart meat is not the heart of the Bloodthirsty Python, but the flesh nearby.

Jiang Chen can imagine its Difficulty; even someone as strong as Ao Hongchen would face danger.

Jiang Chen looks up at the sky, his heart full of gratitude.

At this moment his whole body is bathed in blood, like a blood man, yet his eyes are extremely bright.

The pain has already faded, All Attributes increased by 2000.

To be precise, they increased by 1800; the 200 attributes previously gained from a Miracle Potion were offset by the Python meat.

His Spirit Attribute base is massive, already exceeding 20,000.

The added 2000 points are almost imperceptible.

But the other Four-dimensional Attributes originally were just a little over 2000 points; adding 2000 at once nearly doubles them, the effect is extremely noticeable.

Jiang Chen knows that such a small change now is nothing.

The upcoming second Job Change is the real earth‑shaking transformation.

"The second Job Change will double all attributes. Moreover, the growth is on top of the existing base attributes."

"As the master said, I need to consume Python heart meat right at the start of the second Job Change, so the base attributes surge."

"That way, when the Job Change is complete, my base attributes will completely surpass those of other professions."

"I wonder how much it will increase…"

Jiang Chen feels a bit of anticipation in his heart.

Seven days later, Ao Hongchen returned to the hut.

He was drenched in blood, with wounds that had not yet healed.

A Divine-level Strongman's recovery ability is astonishing, comparable to a World BOSS.

Ordinary

Small injuries can recover in the blink of an eye.

But now, Ao Hongchen's wound recovery is extremely slow.

Moreover, fresh blood continuously seeps from the wound.

The Divine-level Strongman's blood carries a faint golden sheen, unlike that of ordinary people.

Ao Hongchen laughed, "No need to worry, just minor skin injuries."

"Those guys are a bit stingy, not willing to give, so I have to take it by force."

Ao Hongchen said, taking out a purple Talisman and activating it.

A luxurious purple light emanated from his body, and the wound healed rapidly.

This is the glow of Divine-level Healing Technique, its effect is very powerful.

In the blink of an eye Ao Hongchen's wound had already healed.

He handed Jiang Chen an exquisite box, "The Python heart meat is inside; remember to eat it when the second Job Change begins."

"It might not be very comfortable, but enjoy it."

Ao Hongchen grinned, looking ready to watch a good show.

Jiang Chen was speechless; this teacher with a not‑so‑good temper actually has such a hobby.

While laughing, Ao Hongchen suddenly looked up, "Why did those guys come?"

Jiang Chen also looked up, seeing nothing.

Ao Hongchen said, "They're a few old guys from the Empire; they came to seize Python meat to make Miracle Potions."

"But this time they'll have bad luck; those beasts' temper is not good now."

People from the Empire periodically come here, taking Python meat back to make Miracle Potions.

This time, Ao Hongchen had just fought a battle with a Bloodthirsty Python.

The Bloodthirsty Python is probably still angry.

Ao Hongchen showed a playful look, "Come, let me take you to see."

Saying that, he waved a massive energy that enveloped Jiang Chen; the two surged skyward, covering dozens of li in an instant.
