Devouring Darkness

Shock Supernova Legion!

Jiang Xuan's pupils constricted slightly; he never expected Principal Shen to extend such a high-level invitation to him!

"Wait, I'm already a Personal Disciple of Two Masters who are Grandmaster Craftsmen, and I'm also a potential Grandmaster Craftsman myself. Is this why I'm qualified to join the Shock Supernova Legion? How high-end is this organization? Is it possible that everyone there starts at the Martial Emperor Rank?"

Jiang Xuan was surprised, but a smile appeared on his face as he said:

"Alright, thank you, Principal. I'm willing to join."

This time, it was Shen Zongtian who was surprised: "Aren't you going to ask anything?"

Jiang Xuan's expression was as firm as if he were joining a party: "I trust the Principal. Any organization the Principal invites me to join will definitely be problem-free."

Shen Zongtian was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:

"Hahahahaha, you little rascal, no wonder those Two Masters, Grandmaster Craftsmen, like you so much."

He stood up from the sofa, his tall figure, combined with his brown pinstripe custom-made suit, gave Jiang Xuan a strong sense of oppression.

"You're right, the Shock Supernova Legion is indeed an organization, but it's also more than just an organization."

Jiang Xuan didn't dare to sit anymore, but standing up seemed inappropriate, so he straightened his back, sat upright, and asked curiously:

"Why do you say that?"

Shen Zongtian's eyes were full of seriousness: "The Shock Supernova Legion was founded by the Human Federation's first Martial God. After that Martial God fell in a myriad race invasion to protect humanity, the Shock Supernova Legion inherited his will. From then on, it has had only one mission..."

He took a deep breath and said, word by word:

"...And that is to end this era of myriad race invasion, to exterminate the myriad races in return, and to make humanity the true overlords of the Universe!"

Jiang Xuan was a little speechless, knowing how difficult this task would be.

But at the same time, he also deeply realized how powerful the Shock Supernova Legion truly was.

To dare to aim for the extermination of the myriad races of the Universe, how incredible is that!

Shen Zongtian's expression changed, and he sighed, "However, some things have happened over the past tens of thousands of years, causing our Shock Supernova Legion to weaken considerably. There have even been irreconcilable differences and fierce conflicts internally, but at least we still adhere to the mission of protecting humanity. As for exterminating the myriad races, we are always working towards that goal."

"The outer members of the Shock Supernova Legion must start at the Martial Emperor Rank, while official members must be at least Martial Venerable. If they are Artisans, the requirements can be relaxed as appropriate. Although you are currently only a two-star Martial Artist and a Junior Artisan, your future status and position will hardly be lower than a Martial Venerable. Therefore, if you are willing to join, you can become an official member now."

After saying this, Shen Zongtian extended a finger. "As an official member of the Shock Supernova Legion, there is no salary or any benefits, but the organization will provide you with protection, and as a reward for joining, we can grant you one wish."

Grant one wish?

Jiang Xuan was amazed, thinking, is this Shock Supernova Legion not a bit too incredible?

Of course, if he wished to directly become a Martial God or something similar, the Shock Supernova Legion would certainly not be able to fulfill it.

So, such a wish must be within a certain achievable scope.

Therefore, Jiang Xuan said without hesitation:

"Principal, I want a hengyu star birth crystal!"

Shen Zongtian's outstretched finger had not yet been retracted and instantly froze in the air, his face finally showing a hint of awkwardness, "Uh... that's too difficult, can you change it?"

After a slight pause, he explained:

"Currently, our entire Human Federation only has two hengyu star birth crystals left. One of them has been offered as the reward for first place in this year's Heaven-Grade College Entrance Examination, and the other... well... is not in the hands of our Shock Supernova Legion either."

Jiang Xuan had expected this; he was just trying his luck, hoping it might work out.

After thinking for a moment, he changed his question:

"Then... can I have two star flame flowers?"

Shen Zongtian nodded: "That's possible. Come to my office tonight, and you'll see them."

Jiang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and was genuinely happy. The star flame flower he had been longing for was finally within reach!

One must know, this was something even his Two Masters couldn't get their hands on!

At the same time, he also gained a deeper understanding of the profound heritage of the Shock Supernova Legion.

"Your wish has been granted. Now, you must accept the task the organization gives you."

Shen Zongtian spoke, his voice once again becoming serious.

Jiang Xuan stood up immediately this time, also saying very earnestly:

"Principal, what is the task? I will do my best to complete it!"

Shen Zongtian slowly said:

"Twenty-five days from now—no, only twenty-four days left—a martial dao sacred remains will emerge from the back mountain of our school. The task the organization gives you is to obtain that martial dao sacred remains at all costs, and then absorb and integrate it yourself!"

Finally, he added: "Oh, and there's no penalty for failure, but your rating within the organization will decrease, and it's very likely you won't be given tasks again in the future."

Jiang Xuan was somewhat surprised, thinking, what kind of task is this? Isn't this equivalent to him fighting for benefits for himself?

However, he still noticed a problem.

"Principal, isn't what's hidden in our school's back mountain the corpse of the martial emperor? What is a martial dao sacred remains?"

Shen Zongtian looked at him with some surprise and smiled, saying:

"It seems those Transfer Students have told you? However, their information is wrong. The corpse of the martial emperor is merely what a Martial Emperor leaves behind after falling. The martial dao sacred remains, however, are what a Martial Saint leaves behind after passing away!"

Martial Saint!!!

Jiang Xuan's heart felt as if struck by thunder and lightning, and his eyes instantly widened.

After Martial Emperor comes Martial Venerable, and above Martial Venerable is Martial Saint!

Martial Saints are supreme existences capable of suppressing an entire nation in every country of the Human Federation!

In such a resource-scarce Martial Dao World, to be able to Cultivate to the level of a Martial Saint, how high would this Martial Saint's Cultivation talent be if placed in that mysterious and vast world where Cultivation and Xuanhuan coexist? At least it would be at the Qiankun Realm level!

If he could absorb this... "Principal, do you mean that if I can absorb and integrate that martial dao sacred remains, not only will my talent increase to the Martial Saint Rank, but I will also be able to Cultivate smoothly all the way to the Martial Saint Realm, without any Bottleneck or obstruction?"

Jiang Xuan suppressed his inner excitement and sought confirmation. While he asked this on the surface, in his heart, he automatically replaced "Martial Saint Realm" with "Qiankun Realm."

Shen Zongtian nodded affirmatively:

"Exactly, that's right. Moreover, unlike the corpse of the martial emperor, if the martial dao sacred remains are absorbed and integrated, there will be other unexpected benefits besides the improvement of talent and Comprehension Ability. As for what exactly they are, it varies from person to person."

Jiang Xuan nodded silently, indicating that he understood.

In that case, he was even more eager to go to the City Lord's Mansion to get that artisan item.

Perhaps Qin Xianwei also knew that what was hidden in the school's back mountain was a martial dao sacred remains, and not merely a corpse of the martial emperor.

But thinking about it carefully, it seemed unlikely. Given Qin Xianwei's status, it seemed impossible for her to know secrets of this Rank.

"No matter what, I must first find a way to get it. This matter is too significant; more preparation is always better..."

If he could raise his talent to the Martial Saint Rank, and coupled with his ability to make a transaction with that mysterious Fantasy World every day, Jiang Xuan was very confident that in less than half a year, first place in the Heaven-Grade College Entrance Examination would definitely be within his grasp!
