Devouring: Starting with an innate sacred body and Dao embryo

Chapter 13: Full Set of Equipment, Encountering Luo Feng

"These are just icing on the cake; the most fundamental thing is one's own strength."

Jiang Chen disagreed.

"That being said, it's better to have this favor than nothing."

Jiang Mu stood up and said, "Come with me, I've prepared some things for you."

"My older brother told me that you prepared some gifts for me, Grandpa. When I asked him what they were, he still wouldn't tell me. Grandpa, what are they?"

Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel curious.

"I won't be able to help you much after you go to the elite training camp, so I've prepared everything I can for you beforehand."

Jiang Mu led Jiang Chen to a room, opened a package, and found a combat uniform, a four-foot-long battle sword, and twelve throwing knives inside.

"This is a complete set of SS-grade equipment. I had Jiang Yi prepare it especially for you. Also, I bought you the last four levels of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade technique you're cultivating. They're on your desk in your room. Remember to put them away when you get back."

"This set of equipment, along with the Nine-fold Thunder Blade manual, would cost at least 100 billion Hanxia coins, even if our Jiang family had the channels. That's not a small amount for the entire Jiang family."

Jiang Chen was deeply moved as he looked at the complete SS-grade equipment set.

"This is nothing. The future hope of the Jiang family rests on you. As long as you can become a being that surpasses the God of War, what is a mere 100 billion Hanxia coins?"

Jiang Mu appeared quite nonchalant about this, his weathered gaze carrying a profound depth: "At the level of our Jiang family, the amount of money we have is no longer of great significance."

"If you want to go further, or even surpass the Wang family and become the number one family in Hanxia, ​​the most effective way is for someone in the family to emerge who is beyond the level of a War God. And in the family now, you are the one with the best chance of that."

Seeing the high hopes in Jiang Mu's eyes, Jiang Chen remained silent for a moment, then said firmly, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely become a martial artist surpassing the God of War level in the future, even surpassing Hong and Lei Shen, and becoming the number one person on Earth!"

"It's good that you have this ambition; I'm waiting for that day to come!"

Jiang Mu smiled with relief. "Alright, that's enough. Let's go eat, let's go eat!"

After having dinner with Jiang Mu, Jiang Chen took his leave and returned to his residence with a full set of SS-grade equipment.

Turning on the light, Jiang Chen saw a set of secret manuals on the table inside the room, which was the last four levels of the Nine-fold Thunder Blade.

"My power amplitude has now reached 4.2 times. If I learn the next four levels of the Ninefold Thunder Blade, my power amplitude will reach seven times. At that time, few people on the entire Earth can match me."

Jiang Chen picked up the manual and began to read it.

Over the next few days, Jiang Chen spent time with his family while cultivating his genetic energy and the last four levels of the Ninefold Thunder Blade.

Incidentally, he also sold all the materials he obtained from hunting monsters in the wild, including the four-winged black tiger, through the family's channels, earning nearly 30 billion Hanxia coins.

Three days passed in a flash, and the day finally arrived for Jiang Chen to go to the headquarters of the Limit Martial Arts Academy to participate in the elite training camp assessment.

That day, Jiang Chen bid farewell to Jiang Mu, his parents, Jiang Yi, and others, and then took a car alone to the Extreme Martial Arts Academy in Kyoto Base City, where he found the academy's president, Feng Jue.

Feng Jue was a middle-aged man who looked very capable, with bright and piercing eyes. He was talking to a person dressed in black combat uniform.

When he saw Jiang Mu and Jiang Chen arrive, Feng Jue couldn't help but smile and walk forward.

"Jiang Chen, let me introduce you. This is Special Envoy Yang Hui, who came all the way from the headquarters of the Limit Martial Arts Academy to be in charge of your assessment for this elite training camp."

"Brother Yang, this is Jiang Chen."

"Um!"

Yang Hui sized up Jiang Chen and nodded slightly: "You are Jiang Chen, a mentalist?"

"That's right."

As Jiang Chen spoke, he manipulated a throwing knife on his body, making it spin in the air.

"very good!"

Yang Hui nodded in satisfaction and then asked, "What level have you reached in your Nine-Fold Thunder Blade cultivation?"

Clearly, Yang Hui had investigated Jiang Chen's situation before coming and knew that he cultivated the Nine-fold Thunder Blade.

"The fifth level," Jiang Chen said truthfully.

"What did you say?!"

Yang Hui was taken aback when he heard Jiang Chen's words, and even Feng Jue next to him looked incredulous.

"Jiang Chen, wasn't your Nine-Fold Thunder Blade only at the second level six months ago?"

The Ninefold Thunder Blade is arguably the number one sword technique on Earth today. Although its power is astonishing, it is extremely difficult to master.

Even some high-level war gods have failed to cultivate the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade to the fifth level.

But now that Jiang Chen says he has cultivated the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade to the fifth level, their instinctive reaction is disbelief.

"I have spent the past six months fighting ferocious beasts in the wild and going through several life-or-death trials. By sheer luck, I have made a breakthrough and have indeed cultivated the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade to the fifth level."

Jiang Chen spoke very seriously, which made Yang Hui and Feng Jue both look solemn.

"Jiang Chen, have you thought this through? This is no joke."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"To find out if it's true or not, we'll just have to go to headquarters and test it."

Seeing Jiang Chen's confident demeanor, Yang Hui had no choice but to trust him.

"You're right, in that case let's go."

Yang Hui bid farewell to Feng Jue and boarded the plane with Jiang Chen.

"Let's go to Jiangnan Base City first. There are two other people who need to go to the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall. One of them is also going to participate in the elite training camp assessment. We can go together."

On the plane, Yang Hui said to Jiang Chen.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's heart stirred. Jiangnan Base City was also participating in the elite training camp.

I checked the time again, March 28th. What a coincidence! It seems I'm going to run into Luo Feng this time.

The subsequent events confirmed Jiang Chen's guess.

After the plane arrived at the Jiangnan base city, Yang Hui notified Luo Feng and Heng Xia to come to the airport.

This was Jiang Chen's first meeting with Luo Feng. He was of medium build, with a rugged face, and looked very masculine.

Beside him stood a handsome young man, none other than Heng Xia, whose father was a war god.

"Luo Feng, get ready to board," Yang Hui called out.

At this moment, Luo Feng's parents and younger brother came to see him off. Seeing Yang Hui urging them, they quickly replied, "We're here!"

Then he spoke a few more words to his younger brother Luo Hua, and then walked over with Heng Xia.

"Let me introduce you. This is Jiang Chen. Like you, Luo Feng, he is also going to participate in the elite training camp assessment."

"Jiang Chen, these two are martial arts geniuses from Jiangnan Base City. Luo Feng, like you, is going to participate in the elite training camp assessment, while Heng Xia is going to participate in the basic training camp."

Upon hearing Yang Hui's introduction, Luo Feng looked at Jiang Chen with curiosity and greeted him with a smile: "Hello, I'm Luo Feng."

"Greetings, Senior Brother Jiang Chen, I am Heng Xia."

Heng Xia saw that Jiang Chen was also going to participate in the elite training camp assessment, and couldn't help but feel envious and respectful.

"Hello, I am Jiang Chen, from Kyoto Base City."

The three walked and talked as they boarded the plane and, led by Yang Hui, headed to the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy in Hongning Base City.
