Luo Xi looked carefully for a long time, and in the end returned the Demon-Slaying Sword to Jiang Kai.
"I still can't tell what material it is, but I can give you another reward. Maybe you can, based on this clue, find a way to repair this sword."
Jiang Kai frowned. The final reward turned into a clue? Feels like a bit of a loss.
"Lord Luo, are you trying to scam me?"
"Haha, what are you saying?" Luo Xi laughed dryly, "Cough cough, well, Jiang Kai, this clue is actually a very rare clue. Think about it—if you asked me for repair materials, at most I'd give you a few ores, right?"
"But if you can solve this clue, you might obtain a large amount of rare ores. Which is more worth it? You can figure that out yourself."
Jiang Kai's eyes widened, "A large amount of rare ores?"
"Mm!" Luo Xi nodded firmly, "It's even possible you'll find materials similar to what your sword is made from! By then, as long as you've got the ability, you can take as much as you want. Isn't that way better than me just giving you a few pieces?"
"Hiss…" Jiang Kai thought about it seriously. What Luo Shen said did make sense.
"Then…"
Seeing Jiang Kai still hesitating, Hua Tianchen immediately added, "And we'll give you three months of War God Hall special training!"
Jiang Kai frowned, "Forget the special training, I've been trained so much lately I feel like puking."
Hua Tianchen quickly said, "You brat, don't be so shortsighted. The War God Hall has plenty of old training facilities, they can give you a huge boost in strength."
"You saw Hu Yan's Rain Prayer, right? The prep time's already been reduced to 20 seconds!"
Jiang Kai's eyes widened, "The War God Hall… has training that can improve skill efficiency?"
"Of course it does, as long as you have the ability to endure it!"
Only now did Jiang Kai realize that he might have underestimated the War God Hall's special training.
If it could even raise the chance of a super critical hit by just 1%, that would be amazing.
"The conditions are pretty tempting, just… I still feel like I didn't really get any concrete reward…" Jiang Kai muttered.
"In addition, cough cough…" Tian Feng said, "An extra unknown-region Triple-A level clue!"
Jiang Kai looked puzzled at Tian Feng, "Lord Tian, what's a Triple-A level clue?"
"You've run into Night Patrollers before, right? Night Patrollers drop treasure clues, and these clues also have levels."
"A fourth-tier job-change material clue, what level would that be?" Jiang Kai thought of the fourth-tier Destiny material clue he'd gotten before and asked.
"Not even graded. Triple-A at least means a secret-realm clue, maybe even a divine-tier clue, those are super rare!"
"This…" Jiang Kai realized his luck was still bad.
"Eh, that's settled then. Come, Jiang Kai, I'll take you to get your reward!"
Before Jiang Kai could say a word, the three War God generals dragged him away.
Not until Jiang Kai had taken his reward and left the War God Hall headquarters did Luo Xi and the others finally breathe a long sigh of relief.
"Finally got rid of that guy…" Luo Xi said with lingering fear, "The rewards he asked for earlier—some of them I've never even heard of!"
"Exactly, like that Tiger-Eye Stone, first time I've heard of it! Aside from that Chasing-Life weapon, he only seems to be interested in divine-tier weapons. He makes it sound like our military stockpiles a bunch of those."
"Transcendent-tier Destiny materials—where are we supposed to find those! Even drunkard materials are sky-high in price right now, and he opens his mouth asking for 20 sets!" Hua Tianchen sighed. "The scariest part is, he doesn't even seem to realize it…"
"We should go back and talk with Wei Ying, see if we can recruit him into the military. Once this guy reaches Transcendent tier, even the rewards in the military warehouses won't be enough to tempt him!"
......…
Hu Yan and the others had long been waiting outside the War God Hall for Jiang Kai.
Jiang Kai came out carrying his reward.
As soon as he saw Hu Yan and the others, he quickly walked over.
"Old Hu, I plan to head into the War God Hall for special training first. About three months."
Hu Yan immediately said, "The special training is really effective. The key point is it can improve skill efficiency."
Zhao Tiequan said, "Ordinary people never even get the chance. From what I know, War God Hall special training is divided into four levels: Heaven, God, Earth, and Transcendent. The higher the level, the better the results."
"But for professions that haven't reached Transcendent yet, you should only be able to handle Transcendent-level training. Jiang Kai, remember—the longer you last in there, the greater the benefits!"
Ruan Yu quickly added, "Yes yes yes, that's exactly how they explained it to us too. But we could only train for an hour per day in the Transcendent-level chamber. After that, we had to move to the normal training rooms—the pressure in Transcendent-level training is too great."
Jiang Kai nodded, "Then you guys go back first. I'll try out the special training. I'll walk you out of the city."
"No need to see us off."
"No, I have a mount outside the city. I've left it there for over a month…" Jiang Kai said.
The group arrived outside the city and found that the White-Striped Tiger was still there, with food and water, clearly someone had been taking care of it.
Jiang Kai walked up to the White-Striped Tiger. It was about to roar at him, but then suddenly remembered the fate of that wall, and immediately restrained itself, rubbing its big head against Jiang Kai, looking extremely obedient.
"This is your mount?" Zhao Tiequan asked curiously, "So obedient?"
"No, how could I have a mount? I 'borrowed' it. Brother Zhao, when you go back, please return it for me on the way."
While they were still talking, four stunningly beautiful women walked up from the distance.
"Hey, Jiang Kai."
Jiang Kai turned and frowned slightly, "It's you? You four left the guild without reason. You have to make up for it now!"
The Four Seasons Flowers all had black lines on their foreheads.
Xia Hua glared hard at Jiang Kai. This guy was still just as annoying!
But this time she didn't snap back with harsh words. "Got it…"
Jiang Kai was quite surprised. These four were actually being this obedient?
"Um, Sister Shishi asked when you'd return to the guild. She wants to talk to you."
Jiang Kai had no idea what these four did after logging off. He said impatiently, "If it's about leaving the Main God earlier, no way!"
Dong Xue said softly, "Actually, it's not like that. It's another matter…"
"No time. I'm going to the War God Hall soon. You four hurry back to the guild. No one's been cleaning there, the guild's defenses are in poor shape!"
"You!" Xia Hua couldn't hold back, glared at Jiang Kai again, flung her sleeves and turned to leave. "Just come back soon, there's something important to talk about!"
Hu Yan almost spoke several times. This time, Four Seasons Flowers coming online might mean they'd already found out the truth about Jiang Kai's feud with the Huang family.
But thinking about how he was the one who let them go, and he hadn't admitted it back then, in the end he held his tongue.
Ruan Yu had been watching Hu Yan, and seeing him stay silent, she also stayed silent.
Jiang Kai still didn't know the whole story. He just thought Four Seasons Flowers were acting a little strange, but didn't think much more of it.
Watching their departing backs, Jiang Kai sighed. He thought of that woman who had once warmed him with her body heat, that one who loved to call herself "Laozi."
Where was she now…
Almost nineteen already. Could it be that before twenty, he still wouldn't be able to find a girlfriend?
He sighed again and said to his friends, "Then I'll head into the War God Hall first. Let's see what this Transcendent-level special training is really like."
