418: Thanks to Mr. Wang and Mr. An! [Seeking monthly tickets]

The war ended.

Or rather, Jiang Yuan's war ended.

His mission was just this one war.

After this war ended, Qin Boyuan and the others would lead the army and some individual powerhouses into the grotto-heaven.

However, this did not include Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan.

Originally, Liu Shengshan could have also ended his mission directly, but he had not killed Ixi塔尔.

Ixi塔尔 was still alive, so he still needed to enter the grotto-heaven together to fight against Ixi塔尔.

“Let’s go. Let's go back.”

After collecting all the Backpack Cards, Jiang Yuan said to Li Yueying, who was beside him.

“Okay.”

Li Yueying smiled and nodded, then followed Jiang Yuan towards the city.

“What are your plans next?”

The three of them walked on the seabed as if taking a stroll.

Hearing Li Yueying's question, Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan exchanged glances.

“As for me, my next step is to cultivate diligently and strive to catch up with Jiang Yuan's pace as soon as possible.”

Mu Qianshan spread his hands, speaking with a hint of helplessness, “Jiang Yuan's progress is simply too fast.”

“What about you?”

Li Yueying smiled, then asked Jiang Yuan, “What are your plans next? Are you going back to school?”

“I can go back to school, or I can temporarily not go back.”

Jiang Yuan hadn't actually decided where he wanted to go next.

Theoretically, his main goal was to break through to the Seventh Realm.

Then Card Creator.

And upgrading cards.

After upgrading Nezha, Shi Ji, Zhao Gongming, Old Monarch, and Golden Crow to red quality, there were also their weapons.

After all the cards were upgraded, there were still some new cards that needed to be made.

For example, Three Xiao Goddesses.

Jiang Yuan planned to use a different method when creating Three Xiao Goddesses.

Not like a Summoning Card, which can exist outside for a long time.

But also not like the two child servants, Bi Yun · Cai Yun, who can only stay outside for a short while and have no attack capabilities.

Three Xiao Goddesses definitely needed some attack capabilities, after all, their attack strength was very high, and it couldn't be wasted.

Furthermore, their red quality cards couldn't just be an accessory to Zhao Gongming.

It would be best if they could be like Seventy-Two Transformations - Summoning Immortals, where their surrounding bond cards could release a few skills after they appeared.

However, these skills also needed to be set.

It was likely that the materials consumed to create Three Xiao Goddesses's bond cards would not be cheap.

Although he currently had many material cards and heavenly material and earthly treasure, most of them were purple quality.

He was also very short of red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure and material cards.

Next, it remained to be seen if Mu Qianshan could sell the elixirs made by Old Monarch for a good price.

However, he also needed to acquire red quality heavenly material and earthly treasure.

These were all problems.

Jiang Yuan even felt a bit reluctant to break through.

This was one of the reasons why Jiang Yuan wanted to create a bond card for Three Xiao Goddesses instead of a Summoning Card.

If they were made into Summoning Cards, the materials for Three Xiao Goddesses would definitely hold him back for a long time.

Plus the subsequent card quality upgrades, various equipment creations and enhancements, and so on.

It was better to first create them as bond cards, activate Zhao Gongming's bond first, and then consider creating Three Xiao Goddesses's Summoning Card later.

Moreover, once Nezha's quality was upgraded to red quality, he would also need to add a bond for him.

Nezha currently had no bonds on his card panel.

For example, an anti-Heavenly Court alliance or something similar.

And things like pulling tendons and stirring up the sea.

However, the latter was basically out of the question; Jiang Yuan would most likely not add it.

After all, this was the real world, not a third-rate card game from his previous life.

For now, that was all; as for other things, Jiang Yuan still needed to consider them.

But there would be plenty of time to consider them later.

He still had to break through to the Seventh Realm first.

“Alright, but you two need to break through as quickly as possible. There's a grand event coming up in the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.”

Li Yueying smiled, looking at Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan, “The minimum requirement for that grand event is the Seventh Realm, Quail Head Initial-stage.”

“Battles against geniuses and powerhouses from the Ten Thousand Clans, fighting under the same realm conditions—I think this is quite suitable for you.”

Li Yueying smiled, “After all, you are known as an invincible existence among your peers.”

“You can't just be invincible among the Human Race, can you?”

“Among the Ten Thousand Clans, many people will be paying attention to this once-in-a-decade grand event.”

“If he performs exceptionally well in that Ten Thousand Clans Martial Arts Tournament, he might even receive an invitation from Central Land.”

“Central Land, that's the ultimate pursuit; the wonders within are different from what's outside.”

As Li Yueying spoke, Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan also knew what Li Yueying was referring to.

The Ten Thousand Clans Martial Arts Tournament!

Occurring once every ten years, it only appeared in the 009 Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.

This was also a unique mode belonging to that grotto-heaven, or rather, the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.

It was said that the grotto-heaven was once a world inhabited by a First Sequence Race.

However, that First Sequence Race was destroyed.

After the entire race was annihilated, that world became the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield.

The Martial Arts Tournament, originally only for that specific race, successfully evolved into the Ten Thousand Clans Martial Arts Tournament due to the large number of races entering that grotto-heaven.

The Ten Thousand Clans Martial Arts Tournament would be broadcast live in various worlds.

He didn't know how the World Will managed it, but in Jiang Yuan's memory, he had watched the live broadcast when he was a child.

This Ten Thousand Clans Martial Arts Tournament was very important.

Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan also knew the rules.

The rules were simple: select the strongest Student in each realm!

For example, Seventh Realm Quail Head Students would be in one arena.

One hundred people in each arena, a free-for-all, and the last ten surviving individuals would advance.

In the second round of battles, ten people from each arena would participate, but this time it would be individual combat.

Individual challenge matches, round by round, until a champion was decided.

Thus, the champion of the Seventh Realm Quail Head emerged.

And the champion of the Seventh Realm Quail Head could choose to participate in the battles between the Eighth Realm.

And they would skip the first round's free-for-all mode, directly entering the second round of individual challenge matches.

This was also to prevent Eighth Realm Students from ganging up on the Seventh Realm champion Student.

Similarly, the champion of the Eighth Realm could enter the Ninth Realm competition, and the champion of the Ninth Realm could enter the Tenth Realm competition.

However, the Tenth Realm was the final competition; there was no Eleventh Realm competition.

Besides the competition system, there were the rewards.

Only the top ten in each realm received rewards from the World Will.

Other battles were basically rewarded by the respective Students.

For example, if Jiang Yuan were to participate, he would need to provide an item as a reward according to the rules of this Ten Thousand Clans Martial Arts Tournament.

For instance, if this session required Seventh Realm Students to provide a purple quality heavenly material and earthly treasure.

Then this purple quality heavenly material and earthly treasure would appear as a reward on the arena.

In the first round of the competition, the heavenly material and earthly treasure of the ninety eliminated individuals would be equally distributed among the top ten.

Subsequently, in the individual challenge matches, the victor would receive the loser's prize.

Seriously speaking, as long as one could pass the first round, they could obtain quite a few rewards.

The spoils brought by the Student themselves were equivalent to the Student's registration fee.

No matter how strong you were, if you didn't have these spoils, you couldn't participate.

The spoils that Students needed to bring themselves differed each session.

For example, in the last session, it was Skill Cards.

Because of the different realms, the quality of the Skill Cards also varied.

However, it was certain that as long as one could keep winning, the rewards would be excellent.

If you could keep winning by challenging higher realms, the rewards would exceed your imagination.

Because after winning a cross-realm challenge, you would also receive rewards from the World Will.

Of course, such geniuses were rare, even in previous sessions.

However, people of the Ten Thousand Clans also learned about the World Will's generosity through them.

Thus, they placed even more importance on cross-realm challenges.

Finally, and most importantly.

This Ten Thousand Clans Martial Arts Tournament was not like the Space-Time Gate Hall, where people died.

The arena of the Ten Thousand Clans Martial Arts Tournament was similar to a Martial Arts Arena; both were virtual.

Dying inside would not result in actual death.

One would only be eliminated.

“Alright, just letting you know, there's only about half a year left before it starts, so you don't have much time.”

Li Yueying smiled, and then the three of them went ashore.

After going ashore, many people around them were asking about the war.

However, this had nothing to do with Jiang Yuan, Mu Qianshan, and the others.

The results of the war would be announced by someone specifically; after shaking off the crowd, they also returned to the military camp.

However, there weren't many people left in the military camp at this time, only some technical personnel.

For example, the Card Creator in the military camp and such.

“You're back, how was it?”

After Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan returned, Wang Hean also asked them somewhat nervously.

This war concerned his lifelong ideals, so of course he would be nervous.

“A great victory!”

Jiang Yuan smiled, “The Human Race army has already charged into the grotto-heaven, aiming to occupy it!”

“Ixi塔尔's youngest son was also killed by me, his eldest son was severely wounded, and Ixi塔尔 also suffered some injuries and is being pursued by Teacher Liu Shengshan.”

“Good.”

“Good!”

“Excellent!”

Three consecutive “Goods” made Wang Hean excited, and he couldn't help but laugh uproariously towards the sky.

Finally, they had finally driven them out!

For the past six years, he had been blaming himself and feeling anxious every day for not being able to defend the Human Race's sea territory.

And now, he finally heard good news!

He finally heard the news that the aquatic race had been driven out.

This was truly wonderful!

It was a pity that Ixi塔尔 had not been killed yet; if he had been killed, then he would truly have no regrets in this life!

But it was still good, Ixi塔尔's youngest son was killed by Jiang Yuan.

Refreshing!

“Wait for me, I'll go get something for you.”

Wang Hean's eyes were red, but his face carried an exaggerated smile.

He patted Jiang Yuan's shoulder, said something to him, then turned and walked towards his room in the military camp.

Jiang Yuan could even clearly see that his steps were a bit unsteady as he walked.

But ultimately, it was a joyful stride, which put Jiang Yuan at ease.

Li Yueying had already left.

She had left as soon as she came ashore.

After all, she was a teacher and had her classes tomorrow.

“Oh, by the way, I'll give you a card later.”

“Hmm? What card?”

Mu Qianshan was a bit curious; he didn't seem to need any cards, did he?

Hmm, could it be Golden Crow?

If it was Golden Crow, he'd take it!

After all, Mu Qianshan had witnessed Golden Crow's performance in the recent war.

Although the battle was underwater, Golden Crow didn't have much opportunity to show off.

But the moment the seawater was split apart, the black Samadhi True Fire, the red Six Ding Divine Fire, and the golden Sun True Fire truly caused him immense shock.

Not only that, Golden Crow's damage felt like the highest among the three.

After all, Old Monarch and Nezha only released flames, while only Golden Crow used fire-attribute skills.

Plus Golden Crow's handsome appearance, if it was Golden Crow, then he would accept it without hesitation!

“Is it Golden Crow?”

“Of course not. Didn't we agree before that Golden Crow would be made for you after your strength improved further?”

Jiang Yuan looked at Mu Qianshan strangely, “Putting everything else aside, at least wait until your strength reaches the Seventh Realm Quail Head before I make it for you.”

“To be honest, I somewhat regret making Golden Crow now.”

“If I had waited until I broke through to the Seventh Realm Quail Head to make it, then I could have directly made a red quality card.”

“That works too. I’ll just use a red quality Golden Crow then.” Mu Qianshan smiled, not intending to be polite with Jiang Yuan.

Although his current cultivation speed wasn't fast, it wasn't slow either.

Coupled with Old Monarch's strong support, if there were no unexpected events in between, he should be able to break through to the Seventh Realm within half a year at his current training speed.

Of course, if he couldn't break through, then there was nothing he could do.

At that time, he would just have to watch Jiang Yuan perform alone in the Ten Thousand Clans Martial Arts Tournament.

After all, he still had a trade association, and he also needed to meet the demands of Jiang Yuan and Old Monarch.

Whether it was the material cards Jiang Yuan needed for Card Creator or the heavenly material and earthly treasure Old Monarch needed for alchemy, most of them basically required him to find and purchase them.

So Mu Qianshan wasn't actually sure if he could break through to the Seventh Realm within half a year.

“Then what card are you going to give me?”

Mu Qianshan was a bit curious, but Jiang Yuan didn't take out the card.

Old Man Wang Hean came over.

Jiang Yuan had originally intended to keep this card to himself.

After all, the ability of this card was indeed too strong.

However, Mu Qianshan was completely trustworthy.

Furthermore, he and Old Monarch needed Mu Qianshan for too many things.

So after discussing with Old Monarch, he decided to give this card to Mu Qianshan.

However, he also needed to warn Mu Qianshan that this card not only could not be sold but should not even be revealed.

After all, before it was given to Mu Qianshan, only he knew of the card's existence.

“I’ll tell you when we go back.”

“Alright.”

Mu Qianshan nodded, not minding Jiang Yuan's mysterious behavior, but instead looked up at Wang Hean.

“These are all my life's studies and collections, and they are all in here.”
