45: He's about to be crushed by Shen Pan! Shocking all sides.

[Before the sharp Sword Qi even approached, thousands of experts in the Primordial Spirit Realm fell like dumplings into a pot.]

[Two Immortals hastily joined forces, blocking a sword strike that almost wiped out everyone in the Primordial Spirit Realm.]

[Having been lucky enough to avoid being caught in the aftermath, you gazed at that golden Immortal Sword in a daze.]

[A hint of desire flashed in your heart!]

[“So this is the Legendary Immortal Sword that the Heavenly Court accidentally lost!”]

[Seeing four Immortals join forces to attack that silver-white sword master, you quietly descended to the ground.]

[Moving away from the battlefield, you buried yourself in the ruins.]

[You had a premonition that if you continued to stand with the others in the sky, you would die!]

[Mission accomplished. Reward issued: Equipment Rank-up Card (Mythical Grade Limit)]

The mission to witness the great power of the Immortal Sword was complete!

Shen Pan recalled the Sword Qi from earlier, which had almost seemed capable of slicing through his Soul just by looking at it.

He couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

“So the Immortal Sword really is on Blue Star, and it made its appearance so early!”

He had thought he would have to wait until later.

Only after meeting that Great Xia Sword Immortal, who was suspected to be the sword master,

would he have the chance to complete this mission!

“What!

Classmate Shen Pan, you're already Level 30?”

Jiang Ruolai, whose reaction was a beat slow, opened her mouth wide in surprise.

She had worked so hard,

relying on the items provided by her best friend to kill a Ninth Rank Otherworlder, just to reach Level 25.

And yet, Shen Pan was already at the Third Rank!

The joy of almost catching up to him instantly dissipated by more than half.

“This is way too fast!

I feel like for the rest of my life, I'm going to be pressed down beneath you, Classmate Shen Pan...”

Jiang Ruolai murmured in a somewhat defeated tone.

Even with cheats, she couldn't compare to others.

She felt like she might as well go work in a factory tightening screws.

At that time, she could just construct an entire assembly line herself,

and out-grind everyone else!

“But that would consume my own Spiritual Qi, which I probably couldn't handle...”

“Sigh!

Forget it, I'll just let you keep pressing me down, Classmate Shen Pan.”

Shen Pan: “...”

What kind of scandalous words were these!

Was Little Jiang acting up again?

Jiang Lin: “???”

Was this something she should be hearing?

Who had trained Little Ruolai to be like this!

To prevent her niece from suffering social death once she realized what she'd said,

Jiang Lin looked toward the outskirts of the city to change the subject:

“Fortunately, that Sword Immortal Xia noticed this place and took action in time.”

“Otherwise, those two Otherworld experts flying in the sky earlier

would have been enough to destroy most of the major areas of Tianhai City!”

Shen Pan nodded:

“Indeed, very strong. And this time, basically all the hidden dangers in Tianhai City have been eliminated.”

As soon as the golden sword light disappeared,

the Special Affairs Bureau released an emergency announcement.

In the entire Tianhai City, nearly a thousand people had been mysteriously slain.

This included some businessmen and politicians!

Regarding this,

Shen Pan could only hope that his two thoroughly fooled subordinates were okay.

If he ever needed to smuggle himself into the Desolate God Realm in the future, he would still have to rely on those two dragon traitors!

Seeing both of them praising the Great Xia Sword Immortal so much,

Jiang Ruolai curled her lip.

Just as she was about to add a sour comment,

the System settlement arrived!

[The future has been changed. Tianhai City did not fall. You have finally waited for the arrival of the dawn.]

[Reward: One upgrade point, one skill point, and one random Legendary talent!]

[Talent selection complete. Congratulations on obtaining the Legendary talent: Energy-Savingism]

[Energy-Savingism: Using the same skill repeatedly within a short period reduces consumption by 50%!]

[Can be stacked, up to a maximum reduction of 95%! (95% new, used by a girl!)]

Suddenly jolted awake by the System's grand prize, Jiang Ruolai looked at her new talent with wild joy.

“So strong!”

Moreover, it could synergize with the talent she had upgraded to Mythical Grade last time!

[Infinite Construction (Mythical): There is no longer a quantity limit when constructing items made of Spiritual Qi, such as equipment.]

[Constructed creations can be deformed and merged at will, and their existence time is extended to ten minutes!]

Combined with [Energy-Savingism], in future battles,

she could directly construct dozens of Legendary-grade pieces of equipment,

fire them at the enemy like bullets, and then detonate them!

Having gained a free talent, Jiang Ruolai switched to an incredibly sincere gaze:

“Yeah! The Great Xia Sword Immortal is truly amazing!”

...The crisis in Tianhai City was resolved.

The Special Affairs Bureau and the Martial Administration Bureau reacted very quickly.

Starting their investigation from those who were obliterated by the sword light,

they finally arrived at a shocking piece of news:

The number of Otherworlders who had changed their identities to infiltrate Blue Star and live low-profile lives in Tianhai City

exceeded at least five different races!

Some were famous local philanthropic entrepreneurs.

Others were famous doctors, scholars, and painters.

There were even several Otherworlders who had been selected as the Top Ten Figures Who Moved Great Xia!!

“Too arrogant!

These Otherworlders completely disregard us!”

“Starting today,

all residents must undergo a blood test every six months!”

“Also, tomorrow's College Entrance Examination will proceed as normal!”

Because Junior Wu had defected and disappeared,

leaving the Mayor of Tianhai City unable to repay his two favors,

he roared inside his office.

The female secretary, stuck at Level 69, scanned him languidly.

She turned to her own assistant and instructed:

“Write it all down; this will be on the test later.”

“Yes, Young Miss!”

Imperial Capital.

After the early arrival of the third Transcendence Awakening,

multiple countries on Blue Star encountered Otherworld invasion events.

But fortunately, due to the irregular updates of the new version

and the timely reactions of the human experts,

Otherworld powerhouses of the Epic Rank were either slain or driven out.

Blue Star as a whole did not suffer too many losses.

It could be considered a victory at a key node of the new round of Spiritual Qi recovery!

“However, this has also caused the hidden dangers of the Otherworld and the Otherworlders

to be truly exposed to the public eye.”

Wu Yingjie, the Director of the Imperial Capital Martial Administration Bureau, said calmly.

Opposite him, his secretary at the Peak of the Eighth Rank scratched his head bashfully:

“But Director, we have the Great Xia Sword Immortal.

It shouldn't matter if it's exposed, right?”

“Heh! The Great Xia Sword Immortal?”

Wu Yingjie said disdainfully:

“If she were really that powerful, she wouldn't have...”

The words that came to an abrupt halt left the secretary in a daze,

not understanding what the content after that “wouldn't have” was.

To think it could make the Director so angry and dissatisfied!

...“The Great Xia Sword Immortal has actually broken through to the Legendary Rank!

This simply defies the normal laws of biological promotion!”

“That method of accurately striking targets from a long distance

is too dangerous!

How about we suspend our plan to invade Great Xia!”

“Hmph! The third Spiritual Qi recovery of Blue Star has arrived. If we don't hurry and invade,

who knows how strong their new system will become!”

“Besides, the other races won't wait for us!”

Several Elders of the Legendary Rank argued, none willing to yield to the others.

This news had already been delivered simultaneously to the other races.

Unsurprisingly, it shocked everyone!

It set off a seismic shift throughout the Desolate God Realm!

Especially the Frenzied Blood Clan, who had just landed in Northwest Great Xia;

they didn't even want the territory they had operated in for years

and retreated directly!

With his head bowed, Barn, huddled in a corner, looked impassive.

“Young Barn, the news you brought back this time is of high value!”

An Elder loyal to the Third Divine Son looked at Barn with a smile.

“The Council of Elders will certainly not be stingy with rewards!

By the way, has any Prodigy worth stifling appeared in Great Xia?”

Barn answered honestly:

“Reporting to the Third Elder, Great Xia has no prodigies with Mythical Rank Professions this year!”

The Fifth Divine Son wasn't a person of Blue Star, so he wasn't lying!

As for that Wu Yingying who had joined them,

no Elder cared.

Just a newly promoted Epic Rank.

When the time came, they would just give her a piece of land and keep her there.

Just as Barn respectfully withdrew and turned to leave,

an Elder suddenly interrupted:

“Priest Barn, remember not to spread what is said next.

Your next mission will be related to this!”

A new mission?

Barn immediately assumed a posture of focused listening.

“His Excellency the High Priest recently received a revelation.”

“The Fifth Divine Son, who was once sent to Blue Star by the Great Dragon God,”

“has reached adulthood!”
