Chapter 387: A Mere Moment of Consultation, Then Reached Divine Level
Lin Caier's little face flushed again, hot and burning, hard to stay calm.
Jiang Chen tugged her little hand, "Let's keep running the Instance."
Lin Caier'er's mind went a bit blank; hearing Jiang Chen's words, she instinctively nodded.
Jiang Chen embraced her and entered the Instance again.
Just now they cleared all monsters in the Instance; Jiang Chen's experience rose by 6%, while Lin Caier'er's increased by 8%.
Jiang Chen is level 42, two levels higher than Lin Caier'er, so the required experience is naturally more.
The Dungeon Hall's doors reopened.
Just then the bell rang loudly; Lin Zhenzi suddenly appeared and ushered everyone out.
Everyone was curious about what happened, especially the ringing bell; some guessed Jiang Chen must have set a New Record.
At this moment, a crowd surged in, crowding at the Entrance of the "Beast God Plateau" Instance, looking up at the Light Screen above.
The top three Scores are displayed above.
"Jiang Chen, 3 hours 12 minutes 38 seconds."
"Dragon Clan Academy: 6 hours 29 minutes 18 seconds."
"Creation Academy: 6 hours 52 minutes 01 seconds."
The record has been updated, the first line showing Jiang Chen's new New Record.
Flame Emperor Academy is no longer in the ranking.
Jiang Chen's speed far surpasses that of the second‑place Dragon Clan Academy, more than double.
Seeing this Score, the trainees seemed to take it for granted yet still discussed it excitedly.
"Divine General Jiang is Divine General Jiang; even running the Instance with a sister can create a new record."
"Heh, this is only the first time; the second time's Score will be even more terrifying."
"What's called terrifying should be called despair."
"Yes, yes, the word 'despair' fits well; Divine General Jiang's final Scores are always despair‑inducing."
Regarding Jiang Chen's creation of one despair‑inducing record after another.
Some were jealous and dissatisfied, but most could only sigh in admiration.
Someone suddenly said, "Every time the Beast God's true form spawns, it gets hunted by the Three Top Academies. This time we finally get to see these guys' disappointed faces."
Another added, "I think that expression will be spectacular."
In the conference room, Yi Qianfan, Luo Jiuding, and Luo Shuihan had not left yet.
Just now, the scene showed a beast bone and a lump of something like blood.
The three also guessed what it was.
But they could not be completely certain.
Only ten minutes later, Lin Zhenzi returned again.
Lin Zhenzi's expression on return was somewhat complex; the three could not guess what he was thinking.
At this moment Lin Zhenzi's mood, like his demeanor, was extremely complicated.
He felt as if he had sold his granddaughter, a very odd feeling he couldn't even explain himself.
Yi Qianfan asked, "Old Lin, those two items that fell just now—"
Lin Zhenzi did not conceal anything: "Beast God leg bone and Beast God essence blood."
Sss!
The three inhaled sharply.
Given their experience, they naturally knew what those two items signified.
Luo Jiuding said enviously, "Divine General Jiang's luck is really good; with these two things, Divine General Jiang will surely achieve Divine Level."
Luo Shuihan, clearly at odds with Luo Jiuding, retorted, "What's 'good luck'? That's just Divine General Jiang's sufficient strength."
Yi Qianfan whispered, "We can't let this get out, or it might bring trouble to Divine General Jiang."
The three nodded together; it was indeed so.
Although they wouldn't harbor any ill thoughts, it's possible someone might.
According to recent intel, the Demon‑worshipping Society might contain a Divine-level Strongman.
If such a being acted covertly against Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen could be in danger.
Lin Zhenzi whispered, "These two items are now in my hands."
The three all looked at Lin Zhenzi.
With Lin Zhenzi's strength, he naturally isn't afraid of being coveted.
However, Lin Zhenzi didn't disclose the transaction between the two, and still felt like he was selling his granddaughter, selling her for the price of a bone.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
The three didn't know what Lin Zhenzi was thinking; at this moment their eyes lit up, and Luo Jiuding pleaded, "Old Lin, could you let me see the Beast God leg bone?"
Luo Shuihan, though too shy to speak, had her eyes betray her.
Yi Qianfan's expression was much the same.
All three were only half a step away from reaching Divine Level, but that half step wasn't easy.
If they could obtain something like the Beast God leg bone, perhaps they could smoothly take that half step.
Lin Zhenzi wasn't stingy; he tossed the Beast God leg bone to them, "Look at it here, give it back to me later."
Yi Qianfan produced a Jade plate, carefully placed the Beast God leg bone on it, and the three began to study it together.
Lin Zhenzi opened the Instance screen again, and his mouth twitched once more.
In the screen, Jiang Chen hugged Lin Caier'er even tighter.
Lin Caier almost curled up entirely in Jiang Chen's arms.
Lin Zhenzi was so angry he didn't want to watch any more.
In the other three scenes, the Dragon Race, Creation, and Flame Emperor teams had already reached Plateau No. 4.
Plateau No. 4, known as the Leader's Plateau, has the highest difficulty and is the most time‑consuming to fight.
They can only pull the monster groups over one by one to prevent a monster uprising.
But Jiang Chen...
In the instance, Jiang Chen lifted Lin Caier in his arms.
"I have several new strategies; want to try one?"
Lin Caier curled up like a kitten, obedient beyond measure, "Whatever you say."
Jiang Chen smiled, "Alright, then let's try the first one and aim to finish the instance within ten minutes."
"Mm." Lin Caier whispered in response.
She still hasn't been able to recover up to now.
In her little mind, Jiang Chen's sudden marriage proposal kept churning.
How could it be so sudden?
Then she felt herself lift off again, this time faster than before.
Jiang Chen unfurled his Lightning Wing, pushing his speed to the limit and charging straight toward Plateau No. 4.
The Lightning Wing's maximum speed exceeds one kilometer per second.
Jiang Chen calculated that one minute would be enough for him to fly to Plateau No. 4.
Lin Caier watched the constantly rewinding scene, cold wind gusting, temperature dropping rapidly, and finally came to her senses.
She hugged Jiang Chen with her other arm, "Is this a Speed Run?"
Jiang Chen hummed, "I'll give it a try."
One minute later, Jiang Chen, holding Lin Caier, descended from the sky with the Undead Legion.
The Skeletons landed a step ahead of them and began sprinting across Plateau No. 4.
Pulling monsters, mass‑killing; this is currently the most efficient strategy.
He bypassed the first three plateaus, saving a lot of time for a genuine Speed Run.
In the conference room, Lin Zhenzi watched the scene and chuckled bitterly, "This kid isn't planning to leave anyone a chance, huh."
"I wonder what reaction the geniuses of the Third Academy will have when they see this."
But now, the three deans of the Third Academy aren't concerned with them.
They are diligently studying the Beast God Leg Bone.
The Beast God Leg Bone contains divine aura; it is a bone shed when the Beast God transformed into a deity.
If they can produce something, it would greatly aid in attaining Divine-level status.
The Divine-level of deities and that of the Human Race share many commonalities.
Lin Zhenzi's eyebrows twitched suddenly as he looked at Yi Qianfan.
At that moment, an unusual aura was rising from Yi Qianfan's body.
It seemed still faint, strengthening at a steady rate.
"Divine-level aura."
"He is finally about to become a deity."
"Our Human Race will now have another Divine-level Strongman."
Lin Zhenzi smiled, not expecting Yi Qianfan to take that step so quickly.
"Old Hong really called it."
He knows that among the three, Yi Qianfan is the closest to Divine-level.
Hong Jishi once said that Yi Qianfan is highly likely to be the Human Race's next Divine-level Strongman.
The Beast God Leg Bone became the key for his final step, saving more than half a year.
The Divine-level aura on Yi Qianfan grew ever denser, startling Luo Jiuding and Luo Shuihan nearby.
The two stared at Yi Qianfan in shock, then exchanged a glance without a word.
They retreated silently, not disturbing Yi Qianfan.
The Divine-level aura gradually seeped out of the conference room, drifting outward and spreading throughout Shenlong University.
Many powerful beings in Shenlong University were awakened and rushed over.
Lin Zhenzi left the conference room, appeared in midair, raised his staff high, and released an Aura that lingered in the sky.
"Everyone, do not enter the Aura's range!"
His voice reached the ears of all who had arrived.
The arriving strongmen heard Lin Zhenzi's voice, saw him himself, and halted.
Given Lin Zhenzi's authority, no one dared to defy his words.
In the instance, amid repeated explosions, the monsters on Plateau No. 4 were swiftly eradicated.
In the central altar, a massive aura rose.
At the same time, a slightly ethereal monkey shadow slowly materialized.
Jiang Chen said softly, "Indeed, it's different from the true form of the Beast God."
