Chapter 12

Liu Jiang looked at Yang Bao whose face was covered in blood and frowned slightly. This was the first time they were fighting head-on. He was slightly nervous and forgot to stop.

Fortunately, he did not slap him to death.

If he was not dead, he would be fine.

During the competition, the fighting was every bit real.

People could get hurt easily, and injuries were common.

It was very commonplace.

It happened so quickly!

From the moment Yang Bao pounced on Liu Jiang to Liu Jiang unleashing his six-star peak Black Iron cultivation to slap him away, everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Everyone stared blankly at Yang Bao, who was vomiting blood and crawling to the side. Only then did they come back to their senses.

In the crowd, Zhang Daliang’s eyes widened instantly. He did not expect Liu Jiang to have the powerful cultivation level of six-star peak Black Iron.

Moreover, he was ruthless and merciless. He was no longer as timid as before.

It was such a surprise.

Joy from Zhang Daliang, +1420, +1380, +…

Li Jun and Zhang Hu looked at each other, unable to hide the shock in their eyes.

Liu Jiang was actually a six-star peak Black Iron.

He wondered what kind of treasure he had eaten.

Liu Jiang was 17 years old and had a six-star peak Black Iron cultivation. Regardless of how he advanced to the six-star Black Iron cultivation level, he would gain the Supervisor’s attention.

The resource allocation would be inclined towards him.

With more resources, his cultivation speed would be faster in the future.

The two of them were so envious.

Joy from Li Jun, +1450, +…

Envy from Li Jun, +1450, +…

Joy from Zhang Hu, +1500, +…

Envy from Zhang Hu, +1500, +…

When Yang Yue saw this, her eyes widened instantly. She did not expect Liu Jiang to be so amazing.

He was not inferior to Wu Geng.

Moreover, Liu Jiang was more handsome and obedient.

The most important thing was that the Liu family was a branch of the Liu family in Qingzhou.

In the past, Liu Jiang’s cultivation level was low and his qualifications were poor. Naturally, he was not valued.

After all, in an influential family like the Liu family, the number of descendants in the main family was quite big, and the number of descendants in the branch families was even more ridiculously big.

Those with low cultivation levels and useless disciples were not valued at all.

Only those with high cultivation bases and ability who were the top among their fellow disciples would be valued and nurtured.

A 17-year-old six-star peak Black Iron was considered above average even in the Liu Clan.

There was a complete chance to be nurtured by the Liu clan.

So long as he worked hard to obtain the acknowledgement and resources of the Liu Clan, his cultivation would definitely improve faster, and his career would be smooth sailing.

His future achievements would definitely be limitless.

It would not be long before he became the Chief.

The more she thought about it, the more Yang Yue regretted it…

If she had known, she would not have rejected Liu Jiang so readily.

She was too careless.

Feelings of regret from Yang Yue, +1420, +1290…

Wu Geng narrowed his eyes. The hatred in his heart grew.

However, if Liu Jiang won, he would have a chance to spar with him.

When he met Liu Jiang, he would teach him how to conduct himself.

Resentment from Wu Geng, +1450, …

Below the stage, a group of inspectors looked at Liu Jiang blankly. They were all shocked by him.

At 17 years old, he was a six-star peak Black Iron. At this age, his ability was not inferior to Wu Geng’s.

This time, he had a chance to compete for the position of vice-captain.

It was just that he was a little too ruthless. He actually treated his colleague so ruthlessly even though he would definitely win.

Yang Bao was almost beaten to death.

The way they looked at Liu Jiang gradually changed.

Liu Jiang’s status in their hearts had increased greatly. There was even a hint of fear.

Respect and fear.

“…”

Another wave of emotional power. Envy, jealousy, resentment, and fear.

On the stage, Zhu Xiaozhu was also stunned. Good lord, he was really ruthless. If he’d slapped Yang Bao a little harder, he might have died.

At the side, Chief Zhao Laoxiu’s eyes lit up.

The Inspection Bureau needed subordinates with stronger combat strength.

This time, they had transferred out three high-end combatants. They were in urgent need of experts.

“…”

There was another wave of joy.

In a flash, Yang Wen rushed forward and held Yang Bao. Seeing Yang Bao’s miserable appearance, he could not help but be furious. “Liu Jiang, what are you doing? This is a spar. Are you trying to kill someone?”

Resentment from Yang Wen, +1580, +…

Liu Jiang said calmly, “I’ve suddenly been enlightened recently. These few days, my cultivation level has increased sharply, and I haven’t been able to completely control my strength. Moreover, if I didn’t reduce most of my strength at the critical moment, Yang Bao’s brain would have been patted out by me now.”

Liu Jiang continued, “If I intend to kill him, he’ll be dead with one stab.”

With that, he reminded him, “Hurry up and give Yang Bao some medicine. If you continue nagging for half a day, your brother will die.”

Yang Wen’s anger instantly soared. With reddened eyes, he roared angrily, “Liu Jiang, if you spar with me later, I’ll definitely let you experience what ruthlessness means.”

Resentment from Yang Wen, +1680, +1620, +…

Killing intent from Yang Wen, +1650, +1620, +…

Liu Jiang reprimanded, “Yang Wen, you’re so bold. You actually dared to play dirty tricks on me in front of our dignified, extraordinary, handsome, and selfless Chief, and our dignified, noble, and proud Supervisor. You’re clearly looking down on the two dignitaries.”

Joy from Zhao Laoxiu, +2200, +…

Resentment from Zhao Laoxiu, +2200, +…

Joy from Zhu Xiaozhu, +1420, +…

Yang Wen looked at the stage abruptly and realized that the Chief’s expression was not good.

He said loudly, “Chief…”

Zhao Laoxiu’s expression darkened and he was a little angry. In a competition, such injuries were nothing. After all, swords had no eyes. It was possible to lose an arm or a leg.

Yang Wen threatening Liu Jiang in front of so many people was simply not knowing his place.

Zhao Laoxiu took out a small bottle and said in a low voice, “Shut your mouth first. This is a Youth Regaining Pill for treating injuries. Give it to your younger brother.”

Yang Wen’s heart skipped a beat when he heard Zhao Laoxiu’s words and the displeasure in his tone.

He hurried forward, took the small bottle respectfully, and left cautiously.

However, he was filled with resentment against Liu Jiang.

If he met Liu Jiang later, he would definitely not let him have it easy.

Resentment from Yang Wen, +1620, +…

Killing intent from Yang Wen, +1620, +…

“Alright, the first winner is Liu Jiang.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Jiang strode out of the martial arts arena.

As he walked toward the crowd, Li Jun and Zhang Hu greeted him with smiles.

“You’re too amazing, kid.”

“What fodder have you been eating?”

The two of them asked curiously and contributed joy and envy to Liu Jiang at the same time.

“I’m enlightened!” Liu Jiang replied with a chuckle.

Some warriors had ordinary talent, but once they were enlightened, their aptitude and perceptivity improved drastically.

He was even better than those who had awakened special physiques.

He had become a genius among geniuses.

Li Jun said, “Pfft, you’re smart.”

Zhang Hu: “How boastful!”

Li Jun said, “He must have obtained some mutant fruit.”

Zhang Hu said, “That’s right!”

The two of them rolled their eyes at Liu Jiang.

A martial artist who had reached enlightenment was even rarer than a someone who had awakened a special physique. There were fewer than five of them in the entire Great Xia Immortal Kingdom.

Liu Jiang was clearly bluffing them.

However, the two of them did not pursue the matter any further. Among cultivators, who did not have their own secrets and opportunities?

Wanting to get to the bottom of things was very annoying.

Everyone had their own secrets.

The battle between No. 2 and No. 21 began. Li Jun and Lu Yaohua shifted their focus to the battlefield.

Liu Jiang looked at the Treasure Tree.

He was slightly stunned as he looked at the Treasure Tree.

Unexpectedly, in just a moment, there were many magical fruits of various colors hanging on the Treasure Tree.

There were even fruits that had never appeared before. They were condensed from jealousy and envy.

A brown fruit condensed from jealousy could reduce the intelligence of others.

The green fruit that was condensed from envy could expand the meridians in the body and increase the Dantian and spiritual source.

A wisdom fruit that was condensed from jealousy had ripened.

Condensed from envy, one of the meridian opening fruits had ripened.

Condensed from joy and gratitude, six energy fruits had ripened.

Eight enmity, anger, and epiphany fruits had ripened.

Two dream fruits had ripened from regret.

Three madness fruit that were condensed with killing intent had ripened.

The spirit controlling fruit condensed from fear was 9,914,830 points away from maturing.

An unlucky fruit that was condensed from compassion needed 3,620 points of compassion to mature.

Resentment from Yang Wen, +1320, +…

Killing intent from Yang Wen, +1420, +…

Looking at the resentment that was still being refreshed, Liu Jiang pondered for a moment. Then he decided to raise his cultivation level to that of a seven-star Black Iron first.

With a thought, an energy fruit appeared in his lower abdomen. Liu Jiang circulated his cultivation technique and began to quietly refine it.
