Chapter 55 The Grandmaster's Might, the Horn of War on the Battlefield of Myriad Races
On the square outside the Gravity Tower, a huge display screen was broadcasting the situation inside the tower in real-time.
At this time, everyone except Jiang Chen had already been teleported out.
No one left; everyone held their breath, staring fixedly at the figure on the screen who was sound asleep.
Ninth floor! 64 times gravity!
Tenth floor! 128 times gravity!
This was a forbidden zone that even experts who had just entered the Grandmaster Realm dared not easily set foot in; it was enough to crush steel into a thin pancake.
But Jiang Chen was still sleeping.
However, his current state was somewhat eerie.
As the gravity continued to climb, the blood and qi in his body seemed like an ignited volcano, letting out bursts of roaring sounds like a surging river.
Even through the screen, everyone could feel the heatwave hitting them in the face.
Around his body, two currents of air, one black and one white, faintly appeared; they were the manifestations of Su Manyu's Pure Yin Enchanting Fire and Mu Qingxue's Extreme Cold Phoenix Qi.
Under the pressure of this terrifying gravity, these two forces, which were originally somewhat distinct, were finally completely crushed and fused, turning into Jiang Chen's own Origin power.
Crack.
A sound like an eggshell breaking clearly reached everyone's ears.
It wasn't the Gravity Tower breaking, but a certain shackle within Jiang Chen's body that had shattered.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, the Physical Body has completed recasting under extreme gravity.]
[Breaking the limits of the mortal body, promoted to "Nightmare Divine Body (Provisional Form)".]
[Congratulations to the host, Breakthrough to — First Level of the Grandmaster Realm!]
Boom—!!!
An invisible airwave swept out in all directions with the Gravity Tower as the center.
The surveillance cameras on the tenth floor instantly exploded.
But immediately after, a golden pillar of light soared into the sky, directly piercing through the roof of the Gravity Tower and stabbing into the clouds!
Within that golden light, a figure slowly floated up.
Jiang Chen woke up.
But he didn't open his eyes; instead, he maintained that lazy appearance, his body floating in mid-air, surrounded by a faint golden light, like a deity who had just awakened.
Grandmaster Realm!
Being able to fly in the air was the hallmark of the Grandmaster Realm!
An 18-year-old Grandmaster!
The entire square fell into a deathly silence, followed by an explosion of cheers like a mountain tsunami.
"Grandmaster! It's really a Grandmaster!"
"A Grandmaster in the first year, is he even human? He's a Prodigy!"
"God Jiang! God Jiang!"
In the crowd, Su Qingyue covered her mouth, her eyes full of pride and excitement.
Not far away, Mu Qingxue, though still cold on the surface, her slightly trembling fingers betrayed the waves in her heart.
"This guy... he really did it."
Principal Chief Instructor Shen Yan looked at Jiang Chen in the air and laughed loudly three times: "Good! Good! Good! Heaven bless my Dragon Country! Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, this time let's see who dares to bully my Human Race for having no one!"
Jiang Chen slowly landed, the golden light on his body receding.
He glanced at the fanatical crowd around him and scratched his head somewhat helplessly.
"So noisy... it's just a level up, isn't it?"
He walked up to Xiao Jian, who had long been dumbfounded (he had just been rescued and woken up).
At this time, how could Xiao Jian have even a hint of his previous arrogance? He looked at Jiang Chen as if he were looking at a monster, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
"That... Mad Blade, right?"
Jiang Chen patted Xiao Jian's shoulder, "In the future, I'll be the captain for the selection matches. Do you have any objections?"
"No... no objections! Absolutely no objections!" Xiao Jian shook his head like a rattle. What a joke, competing with a Grandmaster for the captaincy? Did he think his life was too long?
Just then, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the sky.
Woo—woo—woo—!
This was the highest level of combat readiness alarm!
Chief Instructor Shen Yan's expression changed drastically; he pulled out his communicator and took a look, his expression instantly becoming incredibly solemn.
"All teachers and students, hear my command! The selection matches are ending early!"
Chief Instructor Shen Yan's voice spread throughout the school via True Qi, "Just now, a riot occurred at North Border Space Rift No. 3, and the Beast Clan army... launched a general offensive ahead of schedule! Among them, the energy fluctuations of the Beast Clan Saintess were even detected!"
Hearing the four words "Beast Clan Saintess," Jiang Chen, who was still yawning, suddenly had his eyes light up.
In those pitch-black eyes, there wasn't a hint of sleepiness left, replaced by the excitement of a hunter seeing top-tier prey.
[Ding! Main quest forced open.]
[Target: Head to the North Border battlefield.]
[Hunting target: Beast Clan Saintess Iliya (S+ rank).]
[Friendly reminder: It is said that this Saintess possesses the "Dream Traverse" talent and is the host's best... pillow Materials.]
A wicked smile curled on Jiang Chen's lips, and the Nightmare Warblade in his hand let out a thirsty hum.
"Finally here?"
He looked north, as if peering through the Void Realm, seeing that legendary beautiful figure with silver hair and twitching beast ears.
"It seems I'll have to change places to sleep tonight."
