368: [Tendou Ryuji]

“You’re famous.”

On the fighter jet, Professor Song Yun said to Jiang Yuan.

Yan Runan, who was standing beside them, also chimed in, grinning: “I didn’t expect that Judgment Princess to know you too. Not bad.”

“I saw some rumors online saying that someone got angry for a beauty at an S-Rank Abyss entrance outside the Emperor Capital and fought with the Ye family and Jialan Guild. It wouldn’t happen to be you, would it?”

Jiang Yuan didn’t speak. He sat on the sofa, took a sip of wine, and said, “What beauty? Don’t talk nonsense. She’s my friend.”

This was a tacit admission.

Yan Runan exclaimed, “It really was you!”

Sikong, who was sitting in his seat, opened his eyes: “No wonder. I heard that Ye Qingtian of the Ye family died in that turmoil, and the Ye family was furious but didn’t make any moves. So that’s it…”

An Tianzong also understood the meaning, looking at the black-haired young man opposite him with surprised and respectful eyes.

Could it be that the identity of a General was enough to make even the Emperor Capital’s Ye family, which possessed a Great Xia King, wary?

Or… did he have some other identity?

“Don’t pay too much attention to my affairs. We’ll reach our destination in two hours. You should focus on yourselves.”

As Jiang Yuan spoke, a golden light flashed between his eyebrows, and a terrifying Aura instantly descended, pressing down on the shoulders of Sikong and the other five.

This was the training method he proposed.

Using his Martial Dao Pressure for load training, he made the five Cultivate their Visualization and Breathing techniques under heavy pressure, tempering their will and better refining their Martial Dao Will.

No matter how strong one’s innate abilities were, if the foundation was insufficient, it would still be difficult to fully utilize one’s innate combat power and become a true powerhouse.

In addition to this.

Professor Song Yun also waved her hand, taking out several rare precious medicines containing different spiritual essences. She crushed them with her Mental Energy, filling the entire fighter jet cabin with spiritual substances, allowing the five to absorb them. Soon, five swirling vortexes of varying sizes and colors formed around the five, with Lin Qingyan having the fastest absorption rate, followed by Sikong and Chen Xi.

“Absorbing so fast? A bunch of little gluttons.”

Professor Song Yun said with a bit of heartache, “These things are not common. You’ll have to reimburse me later.”

“That depends on whether they can win,” Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

He was currently isolating himself with his Mental Energy to prevent his Immortal Divine Body from spontaneously devouring and completely absorbing the surrounding spiritual substances.

“If even they can’t win, it’s hard to imagine how intense this National War will be. In previous years, that kid Sikong would have been enough to sweep away all opponents.”

Professor Song Yun floated sideways in the air, her slender and delicate body clad in an ancient purple dress, ethereal and uninhibited. Her skin was cold and white like snow, and combined with a small, youthful face with white hair, she looked very tender and young.

It was hard to imagine she was a King-level powerhouse over fifty years old.

“In a golden age, it’s inevitable for some freaks to appear,” Jiang Yuan said.

Professor Song Yun glanced at Jiang Yuan with her beautiful eyes, thinking, *You are the biggest freak.*

“I don’t understand why the higher-ups won’t let you participate. Then there would be no suspense.”

“They approached me, but I refused,” Jiang Yuan said, releasing his Aura while taking out a bottle of iced cola. “There are no opponents for me in this era. They are all weaklings that I can suppress with a single finger. It’s truly boring. Rather, they don’t even have the qualifications to be my opponents. It’s more interesting to be a team leader and fight against those veteran powerhouses behind them. At least it can let me stretch my muscles.”

These words were undeniably arrogant, but they were indeed the truth.

One day, perhaps, people would be proud to have lost to him, making it the most boast-worthy event of their lives.

“Forget it, I don’t care. Anyway, I’m not the team leader, so winning or losing has nothing to do with me.”

Professor Song Yun picked up her flask and took a sip, her tone relaxed. “I’ve long heard of Murmansk’s reputation, but unfortunately, I’ve never been there. This time is a good opportunity. It’s not only one of the world’s three great Adventurer Holy Lands, but it also gathers a large number of professional Martial Artists, top appraisers, chefs, blacksmiths, and brewers who are wanted, have bounties on their heads, or are hiding their identities.”

She licked the corner of her mouth, somewhat drooling, and said, “Have you heard of the wine called ‘Heavenly Dragon’s Tongue’?”

“No,” Jiang Yuan shook his head, but his wristband emitted Little Hei’s mechanical intelligent voice.

[I know]

[Heavenly Dragon’s Tongue: King-level spiritual wine, created by the Great Master Brewer Reynolds, using a King-level demonic beast’s heart as the guide, supplemented by 17 top-tier Materials. Each Material is extremely rare and uncommon. Only a Level 90 Brewer can brew it. After successful brewing, the wine’s aroma is rich and mysterious. Just smelling it makes one feel as if they have ascended to a Heavenly Secret Realm, with an unimaginable taste. It is even rumored to be able to intoxicate Source Gods. The effect is to permanently increase the four main attributes, with a certain chance of allowing either Physique or Mental Energy to undergo sublimation.]

“Oh, wow, such detailed information. Your AI is pretty good,” Professor Song Yun praised.

Little Hei ‘hehe’ laughed, proudly saying, [You don’t even look at who I am. I’m an intelligent entity personally created by my Master, knowledgeable in ancient and modern times.]

Professor Song Yun said greedily, “One of my life’s dreams is to taste ‘Heavenly Dragon’s Tongue’ and experience the taste of that wine. I even offered a bounty of 1 billion online for a single cup, but there were no clues, and all those who came forward were fakes. Perhaps it has completely disappeared from the world now. The only chance is Murmansk.”

“You mean,” Jiang Yuan also became interested and asked, “will ‘Heavenly Dragon’s Tongue’ appear in Murmansk?”

“Possibly. Although the brewing recipe for this wine has long been lost, there’s a legend that the mysterious Great Master Brewer Reynolds’s hometown was Murmansk,” Professor Song Yun nodded. “After he disappeared, the most likely place to find this brewing recipe is there, so it has also attracted many brewers hoping to Breakthrough the Bottleneck of a Ninth-tier Brewer and reach the King-level Brewer by brewing ‘Heavenly Dragon’s Tongue’.”

Jiang Yuan nodded gently.

“We can inquire about it then.”

His Immortal Divine Body’s progress was slow; perhaps this divine wine could nourish his Divine Body.

[Beep beep]

The System’s notification sound came.

Opening his own panel, messages lit up in the background.

Jiang Yuan opened them and saw three new messages, all from friends he followed.

[Ye Jiuling]: Found it. (jpg)

The image showed a scene taken by Ye Jiuling, with a desolate ruin as the background. In the picture were Luo Xi in a purple uniform and Xu Yihan, holding a battle spear and bearing quite a few injuries.

All three were safe and sound, but there were many huge demonic beast corpses around them.

Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and replied with an [OK] emoji.

The other two messages were from [Your Majesty shoots you without sin] and [Luo Ningyan] respectively.

[Your Majesty shoots you without sin]: Gained millions of followers in an instant. You’ll have to treat me to a meal later. (JPG. Panda with crossed arms).

I got the magic skill books you wanted. Three of them have pretty good attributes. I’ve sent them to you.

[Source God]: Thanks. How much? I’ll transfer it to you.

[Your Majesty shoots you without sin]: Friends don’t talk about money (angry jpg). The last Secret Realm trip already made me a lot of money.

[Source God]: Okay, I’ll go down to the Abyss with you again when I return to Great Xia.

[Your Majesty shoots you without sin]: Really?! Hehe, then I’ll be waiting to hug your thigh.

On the other side, inside the Zheng family villa in the Emperor Capital, Zheng Huangtong was in a great mood looking at the message bar on her screen, but after reading it again, she couldn’t help but blush and feel a sense of shame.

The dignified Bow Phoenix Guild Master actually had a side where she would humble herself to hug someone’s thigh. If that got out, her reputation would be completely ruined.
