Chapter 1503: Chapter 1505: Chain of Missions Chapter 1503: Chapter 1505: Chain of Missions “Still… defeated!” A bitter smile erged on Su Lan’s face as her body, riddled with more than a dozen bloody holes, gushed blood like a fountain before she finally sighed and plumted to the ground.
As Su Lan’s body fell, her life rapidly slipping away, she eventually beca a corpse.
The mont Su Lan’s corpse hit the dust, Song Jian received a system notification of the completed task;
System: Hidden task “Path of the Holy Child” preliminary task completed, qualification to enter the Bloody Arena obtained; Note: The difficulty of subsequent tasks will increase significantly, please proceed with caution; if you choose to give up now, you can receive a reward of one thousand rit points! Would you like to settle the reward now? Yes/No
“Defeating three Legendary Realm powerhouses from another realm and only getting rewarded a thousand rit points, are you kidding !” Song Jian widened his eyes, unable to help but read the system prompt again.
Realizing it wasn’t a problem with his vision, he quickly grasped that this hidden task was likely part of a series, where the reward for the initial segnt is often low, but with each subsequent completion, the rewards significantly increase. If he could complete the entire task series, the gains would be imnse, and the rewards, exceedingly generous!
Such series of tasks are hard to trigger and their difficulty rises like climbing stairs, getting harder as one proceeds. Even if a player happens to luck into such a task, they often have to give up midway due to their limited strength after completing several stages.
Song Jian stared at the task prompt for a full ten seconds before decisively choosing ‘No,’ opting to embark on the new task!
After Song Jian selected ‘No,’ the task did not update imdiately. He understood that the conditions to trigger the second stage had not yet been t and that he might have to wait until the Bloody Arena opened before the next stage would comnce.
At that mont, the Starry Sky Alien Race glared at Song Jian with such vehence as if they wanted to devour him alive. Three Legendary Realm powerhouses had all been slain by Song Jian alone, especially the last one, Su Lan, who possessed the potential to reach Demi-God Level, yet died by the hand of Song Jian, who was at the third tier of Combat Power. This fact made many aliens yearn to tear Song Jian into countless pieces!
“What to do? Who else can restrain him?” An Alien Race’s Divine Level powerhouse asked in a low voice, filled with rage.
“It’s very difficult. This young Sword Master possesses exceptional swordsmanship and has his own understanding of the Sword Formation. Those whose swordsmanship exceeds his cannot match his understanding of formations, and those who outdo him in formations don’t have his expertise in swordsmanship…”
As a Sword Master, Song Jian was ant to embody Thousand Swords within himself; just the Thousand Swords Art alone had absorbed countless other sword techniques in order to advance.
Moreover, Song Jian had his own comprehension of the Sword Formation. Although Su Lan’s mastery of formations was much superior to Song Jian’s, and the Thousand Swords Art had been suppressed, when it ca to pure swordsmanship, Su Lan was far inferior, resulting in his death by the sword at Song Jian’s hands.
Amidst the silence, a Demi-God Level Holy Child slowly stepped forward.
“Nalan Ji, co back!” A Divine Level powerhouse furrowed his brow and sternly reprimanded him in a low voice.
“Deploying a Demi-God Level warrior at this ti is akin to admitting defeat to the Human Race. To deal with a third tier Combat Power youngster, we’re deploying soone at Demi-God Level; does this imply our Alien Race has no one else?” Another Divine Level powerhouse said angrily.
Demi-God Level is the stage of comprehending the Power of Law, whereas Divine Level is the stage of fully mastering the Power of Law. So formidable Divine Level powerhouses even mastered more than one Power of Law.
Confronted by the rebuke of Divine Level powerhouses, Nalan Ji did not dare to take it lightly and turned back, bowing and saying, “Esteed seniors, within the Legendary Realm, who else is a match for this person? Are we, the Starry Sky All Races, just going to keep silent and let our dignity be challenged like this?”
Above the Human Race encampnt, the atmosphere was light and cheerful. Divine Level powerhouses smiled relaxedly, conversing with each other, and their words were full of praise for Song Jian.
And those talents of the Human Race gazed enviously at Song Jian, even though their strengths were much greater than his. But now, even the Legendary Realm’s talents did not dare to show any arrogance in front of Song Jian, and even the Demi-God Level prodigies had begun to take Song Jian seriously from the bottom of their hearts.
“Mission accomplished, can I retreat now?” Song Jian thought to himself, looking around; no one from the Human Race ca forward, and the Starry Sky Alien Race was silent as well, leaving him standing alone in the air, which was a bit awkward.
“Song Jian, co back. Winning three consecutive battles has greatly boosted the morale of our Human Race. Your own energy expenditure isn’t small either, so there’s no need to push yourself further. Co back and rest a while before we talk,” a god-level powerhouse from the Xuan Tian Sect called out with a laugh.
Song Jian, feeling relieved, clasped his hands towards the strong presence and flew back above the Human Race camp.
Seeing him leave, the Starry Sky Alien Race also breathed a sigh of relief at the sa ti. This standoff was uncomfortable not only for Song Jian, but even more so for them.
“Kid, you need to know when to stop while you’re ahead. Do you really not fear the other side getting angry out of embarrassnt and sending a Demi-God Level powerhouse to directly cut you down?”
As Song Jian flew back to the Human Race camp, a voice transmission from one of the strong Human Race mbers suddenly reached his ears.
“Thank you for the guidance, senior!” Song Jian quickly bowed in thanks.
He had already seen earlier that the other side seed to want to deploy a Demi-God Level powerhouse. If the standoff continued a mont longer, the other side might have really let go of all concerns and sent a Demi-God Level Holy Child to directly kill Song Jian!
As soon as Song Jian left, a Demi-God Level Holy Child from the alien race jumped out and started challenging the pride of the Human Race. Soon enough, a Demi-God Level Human Race powerhouse also leaped out, and the two imdiately began to fight.
The battle of Demi-God Level powerhouses was naturally much more intense than those of the Legendary Realm. Though they had just begun to comprehend the Power of Law, their might was incomparable to that of Domain Power.
“Senior brother, you’re really amazing!” Xin Ling looked at Song Jian with an admiring face, and Guo Xiao, Chen Yang, and Zhao Hai also looked at Song Jian as if they had just t him, utterly shocked.
“Senior Brother Song, you were, you were holding back your strength all this ti,” Zhao Hai said sheepishly.
When they had band together to kill a Legendary Realm powerhouse, Song Jian joining them had certainly made things a lot easier, but they only felt Song Jian was a bit stronger than themselves. Only today did they finally realize that Song Jian’s strength was far beyond theirs; even without them, Song Jian could actually kill a Legendary Realm powerhouse alone.
“Young friend, would you care to co and have a word with this old man?” At that mont, an ancient voice rang out next to Song Jian’s ear.
Following the sound, he saw an old man with white hair, leaning on a walking stick, smiling at him.
This elder was exuding an aura of decay and ancientness, with wrinkles on his face as deep as if carved by a knife. The whole person seed as if he had lived through a thousand years.
Song Jian was taken aback, then with a leap, he stepped on a flying sword and flew towards the elder.
“Senior!” Song Jian greeted with a bow, but as he lifted his head, he saw the elder extend a finger, pointing towards his forehead!
