Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2418: Chapter 2422: Too Fast

”Yan Hu, this...”

Yun Tao wanted to persuade him, but he didn’t know what to say.

For a moment, the atmosphere above the Spiritual Spring became somewhat tense. Jian Wuheng and others didn’t know how to dissuade him. No one expected Yan Hu’s reaction to be so intense.

In the past two years, Yan Hu had always been in a state of regret—regret that he wasn’t diligent enough on Yuan Star to share Jiang Chen’s burdens, regret that his strength was insufficient, and regret that he had followed Jiang Chen to the Void Nether Realm only to lose him.

Now seeing Jiang Chen again, amidst his joy, he vowed that from now on, he would never let Jiang Chen suffer any harm. Anyone wanting to hurt Jiang Chen would have to step over his dead body.

Fire Phoenix’s words carried an offensive undertone, causing a murderous intent to well up in Yan Hu’s heart.

”Hu Zi! Let it go.”

Suddenly, a shout rang out, and a figure emerged from below the Spiritual Spring.

”Young Master!”

Upon seeing Jiang Chen appear and hearing his command, Yan Hu immediately restrained his aura, the murderous intent in his eyes vanished, and he respectfully bowed to Jiang Chen.

”No need for so many formalities in the future; you know I don’t like it.”

Jiang Chen helped Yan Hu up and spoke solemnly.

”Hehe, got it!”

Yan Hu chuckled awkwardly and nodded.

Turning to Fire Phoenix, Jiang Chen said curiously, ”Fire Phoenix, let’s talk when we get out; I’ve indeed found you a bit strange.”

”Alright!”

Fire Phoenix hesitated for a moment but nodded slightly.

”Alright, misunderstanding resolved, let me take you out!”

Wu Zhengfeng glanced at everyone with a smile, his gaze settling on Jiang Chen: ”Jiang Chen, congratulations, it seems your gains are the greatest. Just standing here, I feel a dangerous aura from you.”

Jiang Chen had just completed a breakthrough and, noticing the conflict between Yan Hu and the others, rushed over immediately, his aura not fully restrained yet.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen smiled slightly, circulated his spiritual power around his body, and completely restrained his aura.

”You guy, jumping from Mid Divine Infant Realm to Divine Infant Realm Peak in just a few days, are you going to be on the Talent Ranking?”

Jian Wuheng commented sourly.

”Talent Ranking?”

Everyone was slightly stunned and then remembered that Jiang Chen had just made a breakthrough from Mid Divine Infant Realm to Late Divine Infant Realm three days ago, and now, having made another breakthrough, he met the criteria for the Talent Ranking.

Realizing this, everyone quickly retrieved their identity tokens to check the list inside.

Talent Ranking.

First place, Hu Yiqiu, entered the academy at fifteen...

Second place, Su Qingluan, grew up in the academy, reached the Acquired Realm Initial Stage at four, Innate Initial Stage (three months), Myriad Manifestations Initial Stage (five months), Unification Initial Stage (one year), Divine Infant Realm Early Stage (one year), Mid Divine Infant Realm (two months)...

Third place, Zhuo Bufan, entered the academy at seventeen, initial level Mid Divine Infant Realm, Late Divine Infant Realm (three months), Divine Infant Realm Peak...

...

Tenth place, Jiang Chen, entered the academy at twenty-nine, initial level Late Divine Infant Realm, Divine Infant Realm Peak (three days)!

”Tenth place!”

Seeing Jiang Chen’s ranking, everyone exclaimed in surprise.

”How... just one level breakthrough brought him to the tenth place?”

Jiang Chen looked at Wu Zhengfeng, puzzled.

Wu Zhengfeng collected himself, looked at Jiang Chen with envy: ”This shows that the academy’s upper echelons have high expectations for you, believing that with your talent, you can rank tenth below the Saints of the academy! Tenth place, you get ten thousand extra credits every month!”

”Ten thousand extra credits every month?”

Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up; he didn’t care about the mention of talent rankings, but the monthly credit reward delighted him.

Here, credits are essentially universal; if you have enough, you can even hire a Saint from the academy. Of course, the credits required for that are beyond anyone’s reach!

”But be careful; those at the top of the rankings are not easy to deal with. You’ve relied on the Spiritual Spring to climb to the tenth place on the Talent Ranking. The original tenth-place holder won’t let this go easily, and he’s still in the academy.”

Wu Zhengfeng softly reminded.

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned and looked again at the Talent Ranking on his identity token.

Eleventh place, Lin Guanghui, entered the academy at twenty-two, initial level Mid Divine Infant Realm, Late Divine Infant Realm (five months), Divine Infant Realm Peak (eight months), Initial Stage of Virtual Refinement Realm (one year), Mid-stage of Virtual Refinement Realm (seven months)

”Such a rapid pace of improvement, breaking through from Divine Infant Realm Peak to Initial Stage of Virtual Refinement Realm in just a year, his Great Dao Comprehension must be quite strong!”

Jiang Chen softly sighed.

”This guy is indeed very strong, and you have an old grudge!”

Wu Zhengfeng chuckled.

”Old grudge?”

Jiang Chen was slightly confused, looking at Wu Zhengfeng.

”This person is Li Yunluo’s junior brother, though his strength is better than Li Yunluo’s, he entered later.”

Wu Zhengfeng explained softly.

”I see.”

Jiang Chen nodded in understanding: ”If he wants trouble, I’ll take it.”

”Alright, you can settle your matters later. Let me take everyone out first. Jiang Chen, Yan Hu, Cai Jianlin, think about what you want to claim, and I’ll take you there directly once we exit.”

Wu Zhengfeng chuckled as he gathered momentum, enveloped everyone, and with a flash, took them toward the portal of the Trial Grounds.

In the vast territory of the Changling Main Court, there is a canyon filled with whirlwinds.

In this canyon, the presence of the Dao of Wind is particularly dense.

In the canyon, several figures floated in the air, surrounded by the Dao of Wind aura, deeply immersed in their cultivation.

Suddenly, a young man opened his eyes, took out his identity token, and murmured, ”My ranking has changed? On which list?”

As his Divine Sense probed the token, the youth’s expression changed.

”The ten thousand credit reward has turned into five thousand. Jiang Chen, is it? The guy who injured Li Yunluo when he wasn’t expecting it?”

The young man’s face darkened, and he smirked coldly, ”Did he get such a high evaluation from the academy just by breaking through with the help of the Spiritual Spring? I’ll have to see for myself what he can do.”

Swish!

With a flash, a whirlwind appeared around the youth, carrying him out of the canyon.

As the young man departed, the youths around him looked at his back in surprise and began to whisper.

”What’s happening? Guang Hui seems upset!”

”No idea!”

”Today should be the day the outstanding newcomers come out of the Trial Grounds. Is he going to trouble Jiang Chen?”

”Not likely, just a Mid Divine Infant Realm newcomer; Li Yunluo can handle it himself.”

”Hey, Guang Hui’s ranking on the Talent Ranking got topped by someone—they say it’s Jiang Chen, who broke through from Late Divine Infant Realm to Divine Infant Realm Peak in three days!”

At this moment, a young man checked his identity token and exclaimed.

”What? No way, not even with the help of the Spiritual Spring, could it be so fast?”

”Haha, losing five thousand credits a month, no wonder Guang Hui’s upset. Let’s go check it out!”

”Let’s go!”

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Several figures leaped out of the canyon, chasing after the departing Lin Guanghui.
