29: Invade Earth and reclaim the Immortal Sword!

"Aaaah!!!"

"I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die!"

Jiang Ruolai swore.

She had never experienced such social death in her entire life.

Even when she was forced by that cousin of hers, the one raised by a wood pig,

To apologize to those she had previously defeated,

And when the piercing gazes of the whole school's teachers and students made her eyes lose their light,

It was never as awkward as today!

Fortunately, the System rewards arrived in time, distracting her.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the task: Fearlessly making an invitation despite social death, further deepening the relationship with Shen Pan!]

[Reward: 1 Class Point, 1 skill point, Random Talent Rank-up Card!]

"Worth it!"

She now had three Legendary talents.

No matter which one she upgraded, it was a win!

Since the reward was already in hand... the main problem now...

...was how to end this scene!

...When a giant flying squirrel pounced over,

Shen Pan's first reaction was to kick her away.

But there were too many onlookers.

Worried about collateral damage to the crowd, he chose to see what she was up to.

As a result... feeling the contact and the faint scent of shampoo from her body,

Shen Pan could finally confidently deliver a verdict.

This girl, Jiang Ruolai...

...really has a mental illness!!!

And she seems to have entered a state of random insanity!

This kind of abstract behavior was beyond his comprehension.

They were wearing summer school uniforms, after all.

To hug him tightly in public like this,

And even shout something meaningless.

Jiang Ruolai's persona as a pure school beauty hadn't just collapsed.

It was sprinting relentlessly towards becoming a pervert!

As expected of the ruthless person who once sent over a dozen Classmates to the hospital.

She really isn't afraid of social death!

"So quiet, why aren't there the sounds of heartbreak and wailing like last time?"

Shen Pan looked up.

Oh.

Everyone was stunned by the shocking scene!

[After experiencing two tasks of slaying demons...]

[...your green tea Junior Sister has removed the 'green tea' label.]

[She has become incredibly hungry for strength and recognition.]

[Hoping to become a powerhouse who can protect the Sect through her own efforts!]

[And in that battle of the Beast King...]

[...the talent and powerful sword techniques you displayed made her envious and admiring.]

[On a quiet night, she came to your room.]

["Senior Brother, I want to learn sword techniques!]

[Then become the strongest in the Sect.]

[Become someone like you, Senior Brother, who ventures alone into the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains to wipe out all the demons in the world!"]

[You looked at the Junior Sister who had been in the Sect for many years, your gaze fixed for a moment, then you nodded with a light smile:]

["Sure, but wait until I return from this expedition.] factory

[At that time, you can move in and practice the sword with me."]

[Task: Agree to Junior Sister's request, acknowledge her desire.]

[Don't let waiting become a regret!]

[Reward: 1 skill point, 1 upgrade point, slight increase in basic attributes!]

Shen Pan: "..."

Such a small thing can trigger a task?

As expected of a Treasure Trove school beauty, the drop rate is really high!

Have to say...

Great job!

While Shen Pan was lost in thought for those few seconds, someone else couldn't hold it in anymore.

"What's going on?"

"Why is no one talking?"

Jiang Ruolai felt her face burning and was a bit confused.

Why did Shen Pan have no reaction?

Not even agreeing to what she just said.

At the very least, he could have kicked her away with a face full of disgust.

So she could escape this awkward position!

Does Shen Pan think she's crazy and is planning to cut ties?

"Ugh~ I knew I shouldn't have done this task!"

Jiang Ruolai suddenly had a look of despair.

Great, not only did she suffer social death in public,

But she's also seen as a weirdo by Shen Pan.

Who knows how many setbacks the main storyline will face now!

At the same time, for some reason,

She felt a tiny bit of disappointment in her heart.

The new friend she had spent days building up the progress bar for,

Because of her brainless operation,

"Snap!"

Gone!

Jiang Ruolai's eyes began to glaze over:

"As expected, I should just go back and be the imperial capital twin lolis with Qingshu."

Fortunately, Shen Pan didn't let her keep embarrassing herself.

"Classmate Jiang wants to be friends with me?"

"Of course."

"After all, I'll need your help with introductions in the imperial capital; it is your home turf, after all."

Completing a task...

...is nothing to be ashamed of!

"Ah?"

"No problem! Leave it to me when the time comes!"

Jiang Ruolai let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Regardless, at least Shen Pan gave her a way out.

In game terms, this wave of the friendship progress bar didn't go up or down.

But it unlocked a new CG and started a new chapter!

The ending isn't bad!

"Get up first."

Shen Pan discreetly used his Psychokinetic Hand.

He lifted the happy yet awkward Jiang Ruolai and set her aside.

After nodding to the audience who were still rebooting,

He walked quickly towards the classroom.

Hugging for a few seconds was already dangerous enough.

Any longer and there might be trouble!

[Watching Junior Sister leave with heartfelt joy and expectation, you shook your head with a bitter smile.]

[After receiving the summons, you never planned on coming back alive!]

["Is the distinction between worlds really that important?]

[We are all Human Race, why can't we join forces against the other races of the Nine Heavens?"]

[But being kind-hearted, you still agreed to your Junior Sister's words.]

[Acknowledging her desire and expectation, at least... to give her something to look forward to.]

[Task completed, rewards issued: 1 skill point, 1 upgrade point, slight increase in basic attributes!]

The System's plot was as nonsensical as ever.

But fortunately, he only cared about the rewards!

Especially the upgrade point, which increases his Rank by one directly via the System.

No hidden dangers!

Isn't this more authentic than the experience points from grinding mobs or exploring maps?

[Name: Shen Pan]

[Rank: 26] [Exp: 2%]

Also, [Heavenly God] can be upgraded to Lv3.

Now, when activated, his basic attributes can be increased by 2 times!

In full power state, his Physical Body truly reaches the fifth-Rank level.

Just like yesterday.

The System screen refreshed again, and a new follow-up task appeared.

[After Awakening the Seed of Spiritual Power, it only took you forty years to reach the Primordial Spirit Realm.]

[You are only one major Realm away from the universally recognized proof of strength: Legendary Rank (Dao Integration Realm).]

[As one of the rare Primordial Spirit powerhouses on your continent,]

[you were unfortunately selected by the Heavenly Court's summons and forced to join the Vanguard Army to conquer Blue Star.]

[You look up at the Nine Heavens.]

[An Immortal holding a blood-stained spear and wearing a golden mask is constantly preaching something.]

[Your heart is incredibly calm.]

[Seven Immortals, hundreds of Dao Integration experts.]

[The opponent is Blue Star, which only has one Mythic Rank (Immortal) and about twenty Legendary Ranks (Dao Integration).]

[In this battle, a world also primarily inhabited by the Human Race will completely disappear!]

[You know clearly.]

[Your actions are no different from those demons who capture Human Race cities,]

[plundering populations and resources.]

[Except this time, you have an excuse to use as a justification.]

[The voices of the Immortals echoed in the hearts of all who participated in the expedition.]

["Invade Blue Star, reclaim the Immortal Sword!!!"]

[Task: Witness the supreme power of the Immortal Sword and survive!]

[Reward: Equipment Rank-up Card (Limit: Mythical Grade)]

"Seven Mythic Ranks, hundreds of Legendaries!"

Shen Pan's gaze was solemn.

The combat power of this cultivation world was much stronger than he had previously guessed.

And the number of future powerhouses on Blue Star was also fewer than he estimated.

The Mythical Grade, which corresponds to an Immortal, had only one person... plus the Desolate God Realm already infiltrating Blue Star and other possible Otherworlds,

The future of Blue Star is truly fraught with disasters!

"No wonder during the fourth Transcendence Awakening period, both Little Jiang and her best friend had to run away."

"There's absolutely no chance of winning!"

As for the second follow-up task, he couldn't think of how to complete it for the time being.

After all, he had never heard of this "Immortal Sword" thing.

"Could it be related to that Great Xia Sword Immortal with the Heaven-Defying talent?"
