Devouring: Starting with an innate sacred body and Dao embryo

Chapter 32: Politely Declining Two Rewards, Reward Changed

Inside a quiet tea room aboard the fighter jets, Hong, Thor, and Jiang Chen sat in three separate seats.

Splash!

The sound of tea being brewed filled the air, and three cups of bright green tea, fragrant and delicious, were served. One cup was given to Thor, one to Jiang Chen, and the other was picked up by Hong himself.

"Try it. This tea is made from the leaves of a plant that is considered the spirit of the plant. It can nourish the spirit and is quite good."

Hong Wen said to Jiang Chen.

"Thank you, Chief Curator."

Jiang Chen nodded, drank it all in one gulp, and a refreshing feeling immediately washed over him.

He had been frantically studying the Origin Sword last night without rest, and was already feeling a little tired.

Now, with this cup of tea in my stomach, my mental fatigue has vanished, and I am full of energy again.

"That's really generous, but there's only one cup; there won't be a second one."

When Hong saw Jiang Chen finish his drink in one gulp, he couldn't help but chuckle slightly, but he didn't offer Jiang Chen another cup.

"Big brother, you're really stingy."

Thor took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said, "Jiang Chen, if you become my disciple, you will be able to drink tea like this every day, and I will even bestow upon you treasures more precious than this."

Despite the tempting words, Jiang Chen remained unmoved: "Master Thor, I'm used to being alone and have no intention of becoming your disciple. I'm sorry."

"Second brother, am I right? Jiang Chen will not become your disciple."

Hong appeared very calm, as if he had already anticipated Jiang Chen's answer.

"If you're unwilling, then forget it." Thor sighed regretfully.

At his level, taking on disciples is merely a hobby. Even if Jiang Chen is exceptionally talented, he won't force him if he's unwilling.

Seeing Thor's dejected look, and his reluctance to even mention Jiang Chen joining the Thunder Martial Arts Academy, Hong Bing's cold face revealed a slight smile as she took out a contract.

"You've probably seen the challenge rewards in the Elite Training Camp. As long as the Trial Tower level reaches 5 or higher, you can get a Dragon Blood worth 800 billion."

"And a full set of SS-level combat uniforms, a full set of SS-level weapons, three full sets of manuals of any level, and a set of Black God armor from the Ancient Civilization Relics."

"In addition, you can also obtain the position of Inspector of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy."

"This is the contract for the Inspector of the Limit Martial Arts Academy. Take a look, and if there are no problems, sign it."

Jiang Chen took the contract and immediately saw a sentence on it.

"For this contract to be fulfilled, Jiang Chen's strength needs to be raised to a level beyond the God of War. Before that, only some of the clauses in the contract are valid."

Then Jiang Chen looked at the various rewards and obligations on the contract, which were all quite good.

However, he had no intention of becoming an inspector of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy.

Pushing the contract back to Hong, Jiang Chen still said respectfully, "Chief Master, I'm used to being free and don't like being bound by rules and regulations. I'm not really suitable for the position of Inspector of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy."

"Oh?"

Although Hong had anticipated that Jiang Chen would not agree to become Thor's disciple, he did not expect that Jiang Chen would not even accept the offer from the Limit Martial Arts Academy.

Thor, who had been rejected by Jiang Chen and was feeling down, couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw that Jiang Chen had also rejected Hong's offer.

"Haha, big brother, I didn't expect even you couldn't do it. Now I'm not so upset."

"It's my own problem, please don't take it to heart, Master Hong and Master Thor."

Jiang Chen always maintained a respect for the strong, and his attitude was impeccable.

"If you're unwilling, then forget it."

As the strongest person on Earth, Hong's mind and vision were naturally extraordinary. He was not annoyed by Jiang Chen's rejection at all, but simply shook his head regretfully and put the contract away.

"Besides this contract, all other rewards will still be valid. Dragon blood worth 80 billion, a full set of SS-level combat suits and weapons, three random manuals, and the Black God Set will all be delivered to you."

"Master, do you have any secret manuals for cultivating mental power? Can I exchange them for rewards other than the Black God Set?"

Jiang Chen suddenly said.

"A secret manual for cultivating mental power?"

Hong frowned. As the richest person on Earth, he naturally possessed the secret manual for cultivating spiritual power.

That manual was incredibly valuable; according to his standards, it was worth 3 stars.

However, since Jiang Chen said he would exchange it for a reward, it's worth it.

"A full set of SS-level combat suits and weapons is worth 2 star units, and three complete manuals are worth 1 star unit. I'll take these three rewards in exchange for a set of mental cultivation manuals for you."

"As for the dragon blood, you can keep it to improve your strength. The Black God Set is a bit special, as it comes from the ruins of an ancient civilization."

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

"I'll give you one set now, but you'll have to go to the ancient ruins to get another set."

Hong originally didn't want to give this manual to Jiang Chen, since Jiang Chen had refused the invitation from the Limit Martial Arts Academy and was already an outsider.

But then I thought, with Jiang Chen's exceptional talent, if he had the assistance of that mental cultivation manual, his strength would be even greater, which would be a good thing for the entire Earth and all of humanity.

For Hong, the strongest being on Earth, the focus is no longer on petty gains and losses, but on looking to the future from the perspective of all humanity.

So in the end, he still exchanged this mental cultivation manual with Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen naturally understood the reasoning behind this, so he sincerely expressed his gratitude to Hong.

"Although you are unwilling to join the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy, you have exceptional talent. In the future, once you become an existence surpassing the God of War level, I hope you can contribute to the future of humanity."

After exchanging a few words with Jiang Chen, Hong escorted Jiang Chen off the fighter jet, and then left with Thor and several other inspectors.

The day after meeting Hong, Jiang Chen's reward arrived: a portion of dragon blood and a set of Black God armor.

As for the manual on mental cultivation, it is too precious to be preserved in reality and must be viewed in the virtual space.

After receiving a silver-white box from the workers who were specially escorting the treasure, Jiang Chen returned to his residence, went into his bedroom, and locked the door.

After entering the password that I was specifically given, along with my fingerprint, the box clicked open.

Inside the box, two items lay quietly.

On the left is a uniquely shaped black ring, which is the initial form of the Black God Set.

The Black God Set has various initial forms, with different gloves, vests, clothes, and pants.

However, once worn, it will automatically draw upon one's own blood, thus enveloping and defending the entire body according to one's will.

The Black God Suit's defensive capabilities are far superior to those of the SS-class combat suit, and it can also freely extend and transform at will, which is truly amazing.

With the current level of human technology, it is simply impossible to replicate the Black God Suit.

All the Black God suits on Earth today come from the ruins of ancient civilizations.

In particular, the Ruins of Civilization No. 9 is the main source of the Black God Set.
