No way, bro, are you for real?
Feeling the spiritual energy around them gradually dwindling, everyone grew restless.
Not only had a Spirit Gathering Array appeared, but now even a master had shown up? What the hell?
All eyes were drawn to that peerless woman in white.
So beautiful—so ethereal she seemed otherworldly.
After the Spirit Gathering Array was laid down, the woman in white vanished into the air, dissolving into countless specks of light.
Of course... this so-called "master" was nothing more than an illusion conjured by Jiang Che using his "God-Tier Special Effects" skill.
As for the inspiration behind this beautiful master... well, it’s a bit embarrassing to admit: Jiang Che had once had a youthful dream, and the woman in it looked exactly like this—dressed in plain robes, her face veiled by a light gauze, so enchanting it felt like a fantasy.
Now that he had special effects skills, Jiang Che simply recreated her exactly as she appeared in his dream.
But damn, did it ever make him look impressive.
Even Xu Rong and Chen Hao were completely fooled.
"Jiang Che actually has a master? And she’s this powerful? She can set up a Spirit Gathering Array and even leave an avatar in the Mortal Realm?"
Xu Rong was utterly terrified. According to the Destiny Seekers Association’s investigation, Jiang Che was a Heaven-Defying individual, a born antagonist who kept amassing harems—most likely tied to some high-tier "Harem Protagonist System."
But now... not only did he have a system, but he also had a mysterious and unfathomably powerful master... Wait, didn’t he just say... this was only one of his masters?
Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!
This Mortal Realm is no place to stay—what kind of monsters are these?
His master was clearly a supreme powerhouse, capable of laying down a terrifying Spirit Gathering Array with just a wisp of her presence. Even in the Nine Heavens, such an existence would be a force to reckon with.
Jiang Yunhuang hesitated for a moment before bursting into laughter.
Heaven truly favored the Jiang family!
His grandson’s master was this formidable? This was a solid golden thigh to cling to!
And that mysterious master of Jiang Che’s was clearly an untouched, peerless fairy. He knew his grandson too well—given the chance, the kid would probably try to pursue her, play the rebellious disciple, maybe even aim for the ultimate taboo... Who knows, she might end up calling him "Grandpa."
Of course... the latter half was just his wild imagination. He knew his own limits.
"Che’er, you’ve done well this time! This spiritual energy resurgence... it’s full of uncertainties. The waters run deep, and ordinary ancient martial families wouldn’t be able to handle it!"
Jiang Yunhuang walked up to Jiang Che, patting his shoulder with a grin that made him look like a sly old fox.
"Ordinary folks can’t handle it, but we, the Jiang family, can! The Jiang family will always lead the ancient martial world! If anyone from the Boundary Gate comes knocking in the future... we’ll be the first to stand against them!"
Jiang Che chimed in, "Guarding the Boundary Gate and maintaining order in the ancient martial world... that’s the duty of the Jiang family!"
Watching this grandfather-grandson duo perform their little act, everyone was speechless.
One old schemer, one young schemer... these two had absolutely no shame!
It made them want to throw hands. After Jiang Che set up this Spirit Gathering Array, the leakage of spiritual energy was drastically reduced.
With the Boundary Gate right in the Jiang family’s backyard, it was like throwing a net over a pond full of loaches—only a few small ones could slip through, while the Jiang family hogged the lion’s share.
But what could they do? They didn’t even dare to fart in protest!
Jiang Che’s mysterious master had just given them a shock they wouldn’t forget.
[...Damn it, Jiang Che stole the spotlight again...]
Little cousin Jiang Ruoxu clenched his fists tightly. He was supposed to be the King of Flexing!!!
He couldn’t even imagine how much "flex points" he’d have gotten if he’d been the one pulling off that stunt.
[So Young Master Jiang also has such a powerful master backing him... What appeared earlier was neither a clone nor an avatar—even I couldn’t see through it. And with that immortal aura swirling around her, she might have already touched the realm of... an immortal?]
Mo Lianxing’s tiny head was filled with massive questions.
[And to manipulate so many array flags at once, setting up a Five-Element Spirit Gathering Array so swiftly... her true self must be a master of formations.]
This reminded Mo Lianxing of her past life, where her peak cultivation had only been at the Nirvana Stage—enough to rule over a single domain in the Nine Heavens. But the "Northern Mysterious Heaven" alone was said to encompass three thousand domains!
So she was certain: Jiang Che’s master’s true strength likely surpassed even the Nine Heavens.
[Young Master Jiang really wasn’t lying to me. For an existence like this, refining a supreme Body Sculpting Pill would be as easy as drinking water...]
If there hadn’t been so many people around, Mo Lianxing might have materialized on the spot. Her curiosity about Jiang Che was overwhelming.
"If there are no objections, then it’s settled. The Jiang family will oversee the Spirit Gathering Array... You can all rest easy. If anyone wishes to break through in cultivation... you may apply to me. I might consider allowing you into the Jiang family for your breakthrough..."
Jiang Yunhuang’s words made it crystal clear.
Me! The Jiang family! We monopolize spiritual energy now! Want to use it to break through?
Sure—come beg me!
"Don’t worry, they all agreed to it earlier when I asked," Jiang Che added, twisting the knife.
Everyone was at a loss for words. If only they could go back a few minutes and slap themselves silly!
"Uh... Young Master Jiang, this old man has something to say..."
The grandmaster of the ancient martial Ai family, Ai Kun, spoke up again!
This old geezer was tough—he’d survived a Sky-Shattering Stage palm strike on Mount Emei and was still kicking.
The old man rubbed his hands together, his face oozing flattery. "Young Master Jiang... I’ve heard you have a fondness for beauties. My Ai family happens to have a young maiden, Ai Cao, aged 19, pure and untouched. Perhaps you’d..."
"You old bastard, scram!"
Jiang Yunhuang nearly laughed himself into a rage, kicking Ai Kun square in the rear and nearly sending the grandmaster flying.
Did he not know what this old coot was scheming?
Trying to latch onto Che’er through a female relative and ride his coattails to glory?
Meanwhile, Jiang Che’s expression was even more dumbfounded.
Wait... what was the name Ai Kun just said?
Ai... Ai Cao?
What a damn motivational name! Just hearing it fills you with energy!
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
