Chapter 351: The Trial Rules Change, Two Divine Generals Appear

Jiang Chen experienced one battle after another.

From Magic Class professions, then to Knight, and then transformed into Assassin.

Under Li Xueru's meticulous arrangements, Jiang Chen engaged in a fierce round of combat with all profession-holders, deeply understanding and mastering their skills below Level 40.

As the battles progressed, Jiang Chen's rate of improvement continuously accelerated, and his understanding of each profession grew deeper.

Every profession had unique characteristics, different combat methods, and its own strengths and weaknesses.

No matter how powerful a profession was, it still had some shortcomings.

Even his own Necromancer Summoner, seemingly invincible on the surface, could challenge Level 70 at Level 40.

However, it too had some imperfections.

A profession could be imperfect, but a profession-holder must strive for perfection.

Even if absolute flawlessness was unattainable, one must continuously work toward perfection.

This was the foundation for becoming a Divine-level Strongman.

Ao Hongchen and Hong Jishi understood each profession through combat with various profession-holders, while Li Xueru gained a deep understanding of each profession through reading books and watching a large number of profession-holders' battles.

They gradually eliminated their own shortcomings and laid the foundation.

However, such methods were far inferior to Jiang Chen's current perfect practice.

Not only did Jiang Chen transform into various profession-holders and personally experience combat, but although he failed repeatedly, the benefits he gained far exceeded those of the three.

Jiang Chen gradually found his own learning rhythm, his learning speed growing faster and faster, while his opponents' scores gradually fell behind.

Jiang Chen integrated the strengths of each profession, thoroughly comprehended various fighting styles, and formed a unique combat style.

Breaking free from fixed thinking, no longer limited by the constraints of profession.

All kinds of combat techniques came to him effortlessly.

Day after day passed, and Jiang Chen's challenges never stopped.

Later on, in order to learn their skills and comprehend profession characteristics from physical ability, Jiang Chen even had to hold back.

Using a full ten days, Jiang Chen fought through all five hundred people.

Li Xueru and the other two were very satisfied with Jiang Chen's performance.

Hong Jishi laughed nonstop, "Not bad, not bad, better than Madman Ao back in the day."

Ao Hongchen gave a cold snort, "Far better than you back then too."

Li Xueru said, "I think we can proceed with the second round."

Hong Jishi became a bit hesitant at this point, "Wouldn't that be a bit too rushed?"

Li Xueru shook his head and said, "Not rushed. You all did this after the Third Transcendence back then, but I think you did it a bit too late."

"Understanding oneself—late is worse than early. After Level 70, many things are already set and not easy to change."

Ao Hongchen thought for a moment, "That's true. At that time, I had many habits I could no longer change."

Hong Jishi also realized this point, and upon reflection, it was correct—that was exactly the principle.

Li Xueru continued, "Right now, Xiao Chen is like a piece of paper not yet stained with ink; we can still paint and write on it, so we must seize the time."

After some discussion, they decided to start the second round of testing.

At this time, the five hundred people waiting in the independent space all received the notification.

The second round of testing begins; everyone has a share.

Everyone found it strange why this Shenlong Tower Trial had become completely different from before.

The Shenlong Tower Trial happened every year, and each side had accumulated a large amount of data.

But this time, it was completely useless.

Not only did they find it strange, even the instructors waiting outside and the military officers leading the teams found it strange.

They had already waited for over ten days, and not a single sound had come out of Shenlong Tower.

In previous trials, the whole thing took only two or three days.

Moreover, the failures would withdraw midway.

What rules had been changed this time?

Finally, someone couldn't help but send a message back.

Soon, accompanied by spatial distortion, two strongmen appeared outside Shenlong Tower.

Of the two who came, one wore military battle armor and was from the military; judging by his profession, he should be a Divine-level Knight.

The other was a Divine Mage, with the Shenlong University emblem on his mage robe; he was a high-level figure from the university side.

Although they came from different backgrounds, both were Divine Generals.

The moment the two appeared, their vast aura suppressed the entire scene.

Every student present felt difficulty breathing.

Their auras were so strong that they could contend with Shenlong Tower on equal footing, with no clear winner.

Divine-level Strongmen!

Four words surfaced in everyone's mind.

They were true Divine-level Strongmen, only they didn't know which two great gods had come.

Not every Divine-level Strongman in the Shenlong Empire was as famous as Hong Shen; some were unknown, but their strength could not be underestimated.

To this day, no one knew exactly how many Divine-level Strongmen there were in the Empire.

The Empire had never publicly announced it either; those placed in the open numbered only a little over ten.

But everyone knew there were definitely more.

"I think I've seen this Divine Mage before; he seems to be the previous vice dean of the university."

"That's right, Vice Dean Lu Tianhong, who stepped down thirty years ago. I never expected Vice Dean Lu Tianhong to be a Divine-level Mage."

At that moment Lu Qingyu's expression turned odd as she murmured, "Why is it him?"

Han Li asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Lu Qingyu said, "I've seen him; a few years ago he came to my house, and my dad called him Second Grandfather."

Feng Xiu and Han Li were both stunned.

Feng Xiu sighed, "I didn't expect you to be a descendant of a Divine-level family."

Lu Qingyu said, "I don't know either; my dad never mentioned it to me."

Perhaps there were some unknown special reasons, and Feng Xiu and Han Li wisely didn't press further.

After the two appeared, the military's Divine Knight flew toward the Shenlong Tower.

The Shenlong Tower emitted a powerful force that stopped him.

"Hong Shen, please appear for a meeting!" he shouted...

A flash of light burst before the Shenlong Tower, and Hong Jishi flew out.

Hong Jishi's appearance instantly provoked a chorus of gasps.

It was simply because his reputation was so great.

On the Empire's surface, Hong Jishi was the strongest spokesperson.

His battle record was so brilliant that other nations called him the God of Killing.

A pair of divine fists could even kill a Divine-level Strongman.

Hong Jishi glanced at the newcomer, "So it's Wang Divine General, what brings you here?"

His voice boomed, echoing throughout the venue.

When the words "Wang Divine General" were heard, someone finally recognized who it was.

"I remember now, he's Wang Lin Divine General, nicknamed the Killer King, not far behind Hong Shen."

"Good boy, one God of Killing, one Killer King, what's this for..."

"I feel like something big is about to happen."

In the air, Wang Lin whispered, "May I ask why the rules were changed for this Shenlong Tower Trial?"

Hong Jishi chuckled, "Do we need to report rule changes to you in advance?"

Wang Lin gestured, "Of course not; I, the Divine General, am merely curious. After all, we have people from the military inside, and I want to know them..."

Hong Jishi said, "They're safe; if even the Shenlong Tower were dangerous, the All-Human Race would have no safe place."

Wang Lin said, "I want to go inside for a look."

Hong Jishi roared with laughter, "Wang Lin, you're joking, right? Don't forget your status—do you even have the right to enter?"

"Giving you slots for the Shenlong Tower each year is already generous; if you're still uneasy, we won't grant them next year."

"You..." Wang Lin's face darkened, but he could say nothing.

Only he himself knows the reasons above.

At that moment Lu Tianhong flew over, "Lord Hong Shen, may I go inside for a look? Our Shenlong University trainees also make me uneasy."

Saying I'm uneasy is a lie; wanting to investigate is the truth.

Hong Jishi still shook his head, "No."

Such an answer only made the two think there was a problem.

Lu Tianhong lowered his voice, "I heard Jiang Chen Divine General is also inside, and he's your disciple, could it be..."

Wang Lin suddenly thought of something and said coldly, "Hong Jishi, you aren't…?"

That stance seemed ready to strike at the slightest disagreement.

Hong Jishi ignored him, "Think whatever you like; if you want to fight, I'll see it through."

Wang Lin chuckled, his body bristling with killing aura.

Suddenly, a massive pure killing aura descended from the sky, forming a Great Sword that slashed down on Wang Lin's head.

Wang Lin's face changed dramatically as he fled backward quickly.

His meager killing aura, next to this killing‑aura battle sword, was like a minor sorcerer facing a great one.

The killing‑aura battle sword missed, exploded in midair, emitting a roar.

Then the killing aura curled back like a long dragon, and Ao Hongchen flew out of the Shenlong Tower, "Wang Lin kid, you want a fight again?"
