High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System

Chapter 1027 - 475: Thunder Ash Shocked! Only a Clone? (Double - )

”Let’s call this match a draw.”

”Neither of us needs to give each other merit points,” Wang Zihuang said with a hearty laugh.

The entire Red Mansion fell silent for a moment.

Then, a thunderous uproar erupted.

”A draw?”

”Ye Jiang reached a draw with a prodigious talent, even across tiers?”

”That’s Ye Jiang’s innate divine ability, truly formidable in power.”

”Incredible,” many of the Huanglong powerhouses were amazed.

Chi Jiuxin quickly stepped forward, handing over a healing elixir, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration: ”Fellow Daoist Ye Jiang, you’re incredible to have matched Senior Brother Wang Zihuang to this extent. Truly worthy of you.”

On the other side,

Bai Cantian’s eyes also flashed with admiration: ”Little Brother Ye Jiang, your combat prowess is extraordinary, with limitless potential.”

”In the Hundred-Star Divine War, you will surely shine.”

The surrounding geniuses kept discussing, their gaze towards Jiang Ye changing from initial curiosity to complete awe.

Those who initially doubted Jiang Ye’s survival due to treasures were now silent.

”Innate divine ability, truly extraordinary,” a trace of joy flickered in Jiang Ye’s eyes.

Through this battle,

Jiang Ye fully realized the combat strength granted by his innate divine ability.

It’s worth noting that during the final strike, he did not trigger the ninety-fold critical hit of the Mayfly Shaking the Tree.

Yet he reached a draw with Wang Zihuang.

This is the formidable power of an innate divine ability!

”My [Star Burn Annihilation] is still in its infancy.”

”Once fully perfected, it can completely compete with those prodigious talents,” Jiang Ye anticipated even more.

And at this moment,

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Three figures stepped forward simultaneously, each an extraordinary talent powerhouse with robust auras.

”Fellow Daoist Ye Jiang, I am Qing Lan. I wish to wager one hundred thousand merit points to spar with you!”

”I am Mo Chen, betting one hundred thousand merit points. I ask you to kindly teach me!”

”I am Shi Jian, willing to wager one hundred thousand merit points for a challenge!”

The successive challenges left Jiang Ye momentarily stunned.

”Are these people not afraid of losing their merit points?” Jiang Ye felt a slight confusion.

Their cultivation was at least at the early stage of Tier Four Demigod, but the crucial point was, they were all extraordinary talents!

Jiang Ye had just displayed his own combat strength, even a prodigious talent wouldn’t gain much advantage against him.

How dare these extraordinary talents challenge him?

At this moment,

”They’re not afraid of losing,” a cool voice came through.

Wang Zilu slowly approached, clad in snow-white cloth, and said via sound transmission: ”To extraordinary talents, merit points are important, but the bottleneck on the path of cultivation is more terrifying.”

”You, with an extraordinary talent physique, held your ground against a prodigious talent, serving as the perfect touchstone.”

”Sparring with you allows them to detect their own shortcomings the quickest, more valuable than any cultivation resource,” Wang Zilu spoke with a smile.

Jiang Ye suddenly realized, these people saw him as an opportunity to break through.

”Since that’s the case, I shall not decline.” Jiang Ye smiled slightly.

Merit points being sent to him, how could he refuse?

No sooner had he finished speaking than a towering figure stepped onto the martial platform, it was the mid-period Tier Four Demigod with extraordinary talent, Mo Chen.

A brownish-yellow light surged around him, the Earth Law gathering madly: ”Fellow Daoist Ye Jiang, I’ve wagered one hundred thousand merit points for this fight, I won’t hold back.”

”Please enlighten me,” Jiang Ye replied with a light smile.

As he spoke, star patterns flowed around him, ready for battle.

”Be careful,” Mo Chen shouted in a deep voice, the martial platform shook violently, and three towering earthen mountains rose from the ground, bearing down on Jiang Ye with crushing force.

The earthen mountains were covered in heavy law runes, exuding an indestructible aura.

Jiang Ye advanced instead of retreating, his footsteps transformed into a stream of light, dodging the frontal assault.

”Whoosh!”

He waved his hand, a concentrated spear of starlight shot out, causing ripples in the void as it passed.

”Crack!” The first earthen mountain was cleaved by the spear of light, instantly shattering by more than half.

But Mo Chen reacted swiftly, clapping his hands, and the remaining two earthen mountains joined suddenly, forming a closed earthen prison enclosing Jiang Ye within.

”Stab!” Mo Chen clenched his large hands, countless spikes grew from the inner walls of the earthen prison, thrusting towards Jiang Ye.

”Break!” Jiang Ye shouted in a low voice, golden flames rose around him, it was the simplified application of [Star Burn Annihilation].

Under the scorching flames, the inner walls of the earthen prison instantly softened, and with a powerful punch, wrapped in the Power of the Star River and the might of flames, Jiang Ye forcefully smashed a breach into the earthen prison.

Mo Chen’s face changed, just as he was about to activate another divine ability, Jiang Ye’s figure appeared in front of him.

”Down you go,” Jiang Ye smiled slightly, placing his palm on Mo Chen’s chest, the Power of the Star River erupted forcefully.

”Pfft!” Mo Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flew backwards, landing heavily on the ground, his breath weak.

He struggled to get up, his eyes full of shock: ”Three moves... I couldn’t even withstand three moves?”

The surrounding area of the martial stage was dead silent, then erupted with thunderous exclamations.

”Damn, three moves to defeat a Mid-period Tier Four Demigod like Mo Chen?”

”So strong.”

”No wonder he dares to confront the self-destruction at the Demigod’s limit. With such power, even the top tier of Extraordinary Talent is no match for him!”

”If it were me, I’m afraid I wouldn’t withstand even one move.” Many powerhouses felt an extreme fear.

Only Wang Zilu’s expression remained calm, unsurprised.

”With Junior Brother Ye Jiang’s strength,”

”Handling these Extraordinary Talents is a piece of cake.” Wang Zilu smiled slightly.

In his eyes, Jiang Ye was already considered a prodigious talent.

...

On the martial stage.

Mo Chen forced a bitter smile, took out a hundred thousand merit point token, and handed it to Jiang Ye: ”Friend, your strength far surpasses mine; these hundred thousand merit points are well-deserved. I have benefitted greatly from today’s battle. Thank you for going easy on me.”

”You flatter me.” Jiang Ye cupped his hands, gladly accepting the token.

In the following time, battles continued non-stop on the martial stage.

The strong capabilities Jiang Ye displayed did not dissuade these powerhouses from their enthusiasm; instead, it made them even more eager to try.

Many with Extraordinary Talent place their bets and challenged Jiang Ye.

And the result, of course, was without exception, all were easily defeated by Jiang Ye.

Just like that.

Jiang Ye’s merit point balance rose rapidly.

Hundred thousand.

Five hundred thousand.

One million.

Three million...

...

Meanwhile, news of Ye Jiang’s assassination attempt spread like wildfire throughout the entire Huanglong Civilization.

”Did you hear? Venerable Bai’s disciple, Ye Jiang, was attacked by a Demigod’s limit self-destruction in the core hinterland and even detonated a God-level artifact!”

”More than that! With his Tier Three Demigod cultivation, he managed to withstand the explosion of God-level force and even formed the embryonic form of his innate divine abilities!”

The news spread from the Huanglong Main Star, spreading to surrounding subsidiary civilizations, and even reached the star domains of other secondary civilizations.

”A Tier Three Demigod withstanding a God-level explosion? How is that possible!”

”A Tier Three Demigod with such power has a very high probability of ascending to divinity in the future.”

”In the Hundred-Star Divine War, there’s a high hope for him to break into the top ten.” Many civilizations started focusing on Jiang Ye’s news.

Among secondary civilizations, news spread extremely swiftly.

And regarding Jiang Ye’s assassination, the Huanglong Civilization did not deliberately conceal it, but rather actively promoted the spread of the news.

Swiftly.

The many civilizations surrounding the Huanglong Civilization received the news, all were greatly shaken.

And this news, also soon reached the Cangxu Civilization.

...

Cangxu Civilization Border Palace.

Thunder Ash sat cross-legged on the purple-gold stone seat, earthen yellow divine patterns surging around him, but couldn’t conceal the gloom between his brows.

Since returning from Blue Star, the inch-long wound had long healed under the power of laws, but the depression in his heart lingered like a bone-gnawing disease, refusing to go away.

He was a God of dignity, yet he was wounded by a mere demigod. If this spread, it would become the laughingstock of the entire White Dragon Star System Group.

What annoyed Thunder Ash even more was that Jiang Ye was clearly at his last gasp, yet he was under the protection of the Caikun Civilization, missing the chance to eradicate the root.

”Merely lucky to have the blessing of planetary will,” Thunder Ash snorted coldly, his divine body moved slightly, causing the surrounding space to ripple: ”When the time is right in the future, Blue Star shall be scorched to ashes to wash away today’s shame!”

At this moment, a dark purple communication rune penetrated the palace, suspended in front of him.

It was a transmission of divine thought from Venerable Tian Cang.

Thunder Ash raised his hand to activate the rune.

But upon hearing the content inside, his expression instantly changed.

”What?!”

”Jiang Ye from Blue Star is just an avatar?” Thunder Ash’s expression changed slightly: ”His main body is in the Huanglong Civilization, named Ye Jiang, a direct disciple of Bai Qiong, Tier Three Demigod cultivation.”

Thunder Ash abruptly stood up, a divine body of ten thousand feet tall nearly breaking the palace’s dome, the earth-yellow twin horns bursting with terrifying divine light.

His pupils contracted suddenly, divine thought swiftly backtracked through the details of the battle on Blue Star — the bravery of the billion-god-refining array, the blessing of planetary will, that final desperate strike’s determination... so all this trouble, using the Thunder Tribulation Law, even nearly exposing the God’s foundation, was against merely an avatar?

The most crucial point is.

He didn’t even kill it?
