186: Chapter 186 Let the alien invaders come at me! Zhang Jian's lofty ambition!

"Just let them come!"

Zhang Jian's voice was resolute.

This answer was somewhat beyond Xuan Jizi's expectations; his face twitched as if he had been startled.

But on second thought, his expression relaxed.

Upon deeper reflection, he burst into loud laughter.

"Wonderful!"

"The few of us discussed this earlier, and our initial thought was to destroy this passage to prevent them from coming through this way."

"But our main concern was that if we failed to destroy it, it might cause even greater trouble, which would be undesirable."

"I didn't expect you to have such courage, young friend!"

Xiao Yuntian looked at Zhang Jian with a complex gaze.

It was as if he were asking, 'Is this really okay?'

Yun Haiyao, however, was lost in thought.

After Zhang Jian spoke, he felt refreshed.

He decided to explain further.

"This is what I'm thinking."

"If we destroy the passage, it's certainly possible that the enemy won't be able to cross over once they arrive here."

"But looking at how they sent multiple people to possess others in this team mission, their operations on the Water Blue Planet haven't just been for a day or two."

"I'm afraid there's more than one channel for them to reach the Water Blue Planet."

"If this place is destroyed and they come from somewhere else, we will be completely defenseless and likely caught off guard."

Xiao Yuntian's eyes lit up.

Yun Haiyao also gave a look of appreciation.

Yan Buyu nodded heavily.

Zhang Jian waved his hand heroically and continued while the momentum was high.

"Instead of being uncontrolled and living in fear every day, it's better to keep this passage open so it's easier to monitor."

Xuan Jizi nodded subconsciously.

"That makes sense!"

"It's better to channel it than to block it."

Zhang Jian snorted coldly.

"Besides."

"Before my strength had even grown, I could resist and even kill those with so-called planet-level Rank 6 strength with the help of you Seniors."

"Once I grow up, even if they send stronger experts, what can they do to me?"

Although Zhang Jian spoke softly, his voice was like a heavy hammer smashing into the minds of the four.

Their eyes gleamed with brilliance.

That's right!

For these fellows, their potential and strength were already reaching their limits.

But Zhang Jian was different.

Once he truly grew up, his strength would likely reach a level of power that they couldn't even imagine.

No matter how strong the alien creatures were, what could they do to Zhang Jian?

"Well said!"

Xuan Jizi couldn't help but clap.

The other three were also excited, their bodies trembling slightly.

Now that a consensus had been reached, things were easy to handle.

With a wave of Xuan Jizi's hand, countless people below began to set things up quickly.

They directly transformed the area within several thousand meters into a special zone.

All unauthorized personnel were strictly forbidden from entering.

The four of them worked together to set up several mythical level Formations in this area.

Not only could they prevent others from entering accidentally, but they could also constantly monitor abnormal fluctuations within this range.

As long as anyone from Ming Kong's race wanted to come to the Water Blue Planet through this passage again, they would likely be discovered immediately.

Xuan Jizi also planned to place a large teleportation array in this area.

The corresponding end would be an area where at least three or four powerful experts were stationed.

While Xuan Jizi led the people in the continuous setup, Zhang Jian returned to the city alone first.

He had been so caught up in the excitement and thrill of receiving the job change rewards with everyone that he had forgotten his own condition.

During the earlier battle, in order to resist the initial mental attack effect of the blood-colored flames, he had actively triggered an Affix Skill, which burned and consumed many attribute points.

Although it wasn't a permanent consumption, if he didn't use some means to recover them in a short time...

This burning effect would continue to gradually strip away the consumed attribute points from his body.

In the end, it would still be equivalent to losing them permanently.

Zhang Jian naturally wouldn't let such a thing happen.

So now that he was free, he immediately began to recover.

And the method of recovery was, naturally, using the [Soul Leap] skill.

Although using this skill required consuming experience points all over again...

Fortunately, the previously accumulated progress was also cleared, allowing Zhang Jian to start over according to the initial conversion rate.

Otherwise...

If he had continued from where he left off, the required experience would have already accumulated to an extremely exaggerated amount.

No matter how much experience he had accumulated, he might not have been able to handle it.

"You consumed 23.25 million experience points to exchange for 1 Mental Energy point."

"You consumed..."

Just as Zhang Jian began the conversion, he felt a slight dizziness.

He hurriedly found a quiet place to lie down.

This was an Advanced secret room that President Li Husheng had specifically set aside from the Professional Association.

It contained several types of precious Materials for calming the mind and soothing the spirit, which could improve sleep quality.

Zhang Jian tried it and found that his state improved significantly.

He simply stayed there and began to convert slowly.

100 times.

200 times.

300 times.

...

Experience points were continuously being consumed.

Zhang Jian's Mental Energy was constantly being regenerated, restoring the previous deficit.

After giving a command for continuous exchange, Zhang Jian fell into a deep sleep.

Until the next morning.

"The Mental Energy points you can currently exchange have reached the Rank limit. Please increase your Rank before trying again."

A System prompt woke him from his slumber.

Reached the limit already?

He had originally been a bit reluctant to get out of bed and wanted to linger for a while.

Seeing this prompt, Zhang Jian gave a start and flipped himself up.

He checked the skill description.

Current Rank exchangeable point limit: 18,000 / 3,000 (+15,000) / 9,000 (+45,000) points.

As expected, the limit of 18,000 points was completely filled.

And the experience on his panel had only consumed a cumulative 30-odd trillion.

Compared to what he had gained before, it was just the change from the last two digits.

With the Mental Energy brought by the Rank limit plus the 4,500 points from [Soul Conversion]...

His Mental Energy had directly reached the terrifying level of 22,500 points!

Not to mention his control resistance had reached 225%, and the chance of being completely immune to control skills had also soared to 22.5%.

Although it hadn't reached the extreme yet, it was much stronger than before.

Not only had he restored his original Mental Energy, but it had also surged by a large margin.

He felt a Clear Mind, and his whole body felt much lighter.

Thinking about how he had just finished his job change and was about to start leveling up to enter the Second Job Change stage and face brand new challenges...

A ripple also rose in Zhang Jian's heart.

Thinking further about the passage represented by that crack outside the city, his heart was filled with endless motivation.

Next, he was going to go all out to increase his strength.

A sharp glint flashed in Zhang Jian's eyes.

First, set a small goal: clear the Hell level Dungeon difficulty and max out the Professional Rank limit!

...

It's been four consecutive days of 4,000 words. I haven't even gone out to play just to write; it's truly not easy.

Brothers, please give some 'Power of Love' and small gifts to support me!
