CHAPTER 87: CHAPTER 87, THIS OPPORTUNITY RARELY COMES_1

"Who is this guy? Such powerful Skills."

"Incredibly strong, completely ignoring the surrounding Demonic Beings."

"What Class is he, with such terrifying Offensive Power?"

"To move as if in an uninhabited land amidst thousands of enemies—who else could achieve that?"

"This guy is even stronger than the Black Dragon."

"He just strolled in and rescued her like that?"

At that moment, the people atop the city wall watched the battlefield outside, where heaps of Demonic Beings surrounded Jiang Chen and Li Yunxi.

Jiang Chen’s Sword Qi formed an impenetrable wall, tightly enclosing them.

No Demonic Being could get close; if they did, they were instantly killed.

With a thought, Jiang Chen transformed the Hurricane Formation again, creating a path forward. "Let’s go back," he said. "Heal the Giant Dragon first, then we fight."

"Thank you for saving me."

"It’s nothing."

"I have a question."

"What is it?"

"Are you really a Swordsman?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

Li Yunxi smiled. "Got it."

They followed the path back into the city.

Black Phoenix glanced over and led her subordinates back as well.

Jiang Chen silently took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.

Ruo Li laughed. That damn guy, showing off in front of tens of thousands of Demonic Beings, and he actually managed to pull it off!

"What did I just see? This guy still has the mood to smoke?"

"Uh, smoking in front of tens of thousands of Demonic Beings... this... this must be a first."

"Oh my God, that young man I just saw—so handsome!"

"So handsome, I want to marry him."

"This guy can’t just be showing off, can he?"

"I think so. This guy is definitely showing off."

Jiang Chen turned and advanced, his Sword Qi reforming into the Hurricane Formation, enveloping him. Countless Demonic Beings rushed toward him only to perish at his feet.

Five points is five points; better than nothing.

Black Phoenix walked up to Ruo Li. "Such strong Skills."

"Yes, he’s indeed very strong," Ruo Li replied. "It’s practically an invincible technique. With that terrifying volume and frequency of attacks, he’s unbeatable in close combat. I’m afraid even you would die by his sword."

Black Phoenix remained silent. This guy is simply freakish.

Jiang Chen only formed the Hurricane Formation in a ten-meter radius around himself. He could have created a Sword Qi Barrier extending a hundred meters with himself at the center, but that would have given the Demonic Beings—tens of thousands of them, after all—a chance to break through the formation.

Jiang Chen advanced further.

The people on the high wall watched this scene, too astonished to speak.

WHOOSH...

A dark figure sped over. The woman, silently smoking, observed the massive horde of monsters before glancing at Jiang Chen on the battlefield.

Black Phoenix watched the woman.

"Zhang Xiaoxiao has arrived! A Super Divine-level Class, one of the strongest Mages—a Curse Master."

"Is she the Dean’s granddaughter?"

"Yes, that’s her. A Super Divine-level Class, surpassing the SS Class. The most terrifying existence among Mages, and she has awakened her Talent. She’s known as the strongest Class in the Dragon Zone."

Zhang Xiaoxiao asked, "Who is that little guy?"

"Jiang Chen, a student from Shenlong Academy."

Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled. "Not bad, invincible at close range. I didn’t expect that this little pond, Shenlong Academy, would produce such a strong individual. Quite an interesting little fellow."

"Boss, you’re mistaken. Although he’s invincible at close range, he can’t compare to you."

"Boss, if you make a move, you could easily settle this uprising."

"Boss, hurry up and deal with it; I’m still waiting for a drink!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao said, "What’s the rush? That old man just asked me to come and see what was happening. I didn’t expect to find this little fellow. You all wait here; I’ll go check him out."

A yellow pillar of light enveloped Zhang Xiaoxiao. Then, she leaped forward, landing just outside Jiang Chen’s Sword Qi.

Jiang Chen glanced over. Who is this woman?

Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled. "Do you need my help?"

"Go away! Can’t you see I’m leveling up? Are you trying to snatch my monsters?"

"Haha... I saw you were having a hard time, so I thought I’d lend a hand."

"How so?"

"Watch closely."

Zhang Xiaoxiao landed and crouched, pressing one hand to the ground. With her at the center, a semi-circular wave of flame erupted in front of her, rapidly surging to a height of ten meters.

"Forbidden Curse: Burning Flame."

The ten-meter-tall wall of fire advanced, turning all monsters in its path to ash, extending over a kilometer away.

And just like that, the monsters were gone.

Jiang Chen stared, dumbfounded.

"Uh..."

That’s it? They’re all gone?

Zhang Xiaoxiao clapped her hands. "Barely managed to handle it."

Damn it... Who is this woman? She’s so incredibly powerful!

Jiang Chen withdrew his Sword Qi.

Jiang Chen asked, "Are you a Magician?"

"Yes. You’re not bad, little guy," Zhang Xiaoxiao said. "I’ll be waiting for you to get stronger. You’re still very weak right now."

Zhang Xiaoxiao flew up onto the high wall and entered the City Lord Mansion.

Jiang Chen returned inside the city wall. Who on earth is that woman? To think she could kill tens of thousands of Demonic Beings with a single move!

Jiang Chen walked over to Ruo Li and asked, "Who was that woman just now?"

Black Phoenix explained, "Her name is Zhang Xiaoxiao. She’s also a student from Shenlong Academy, renowned as the academy’s strongest Curse Master, and hers is considered the most powerful Class."

"Curse Master?"

"Yes. A Curse Master is a Super Divine-level Class that surpasses the SS-grade Class. She possesses the highest level of Magic Talent, allowing her to cast any Magic at will. She achieved her Second-stage advancement long ago. For her, these monsters can often be annihilated with a single Skill."

Jiang Chen pondered. So she’s already Second-stage. No wonder she’s so formidable, eradicating countless Demonic Beings with a single move.

Black Phoenix continued, "However, people like her don’t usually stay here; they reside elsewhere and seldom return. Over the past two hundred years, Shenlong Academy has cultivated countless experts—First-stage, Second-stage, and even stronger individuals are numerous."

Shenlong Academy is just a stepping stone, much like Tsinghua or Peking University—merely one phase of their life’s journey. After leaving Shenlong Academy, an even grander stage awaits them.

Ruo Li smiled. "Pretty impressive, right?"

Jiang Chen nodded. "Undeniably, very impressive."

Black Phoenix looked into the distance where countless Demonic Beings were congregating again. Her brows furrowed. "Be careful. The Demonic Beings are massing again, and this time, they are likely all below Level 30."

Jiang Chen looked into the distance. Indeed, many Demonic Beings were emerging from a fissure. Each one was three meters tall, powerfully built, and wielding a Weapon—clearly an organized army, not just ordinary Demonic Beings.

I hadn’t even had my fill of killing, and more are already here! Killing these Level 30 monsters will definitely make my experience points skyrocket!

Jiang Chen said, "Angelina, let’s go down."

"For what?"

"Idiot, to gain experience."

"Oh."

Ruo Li smiled. "Jiang Chen, take me with you."

"Your Level is too high; I can’t bring you along."

Ruo Li pouted. "Stingy."

Black Phoenix watched Jiang Chen and Angelina leave the city. "We’re here defending our homes, and he treats it like a personal training ground to gain experience... That guy..."

Jiang Chen strutted out of the gates, with Angelina following behind him.

The gazes of thousands focused on the two of them.

"He’s going out again! Is he intending to wipe out the Demonic Army?"

"Amazing! Facing the Demonic Army alone, this guy is incredible."

"I can’t believe he’s going to the battlefield alone against an army of several thousand Demonic Beings. Could he be a Second-stage Expert?"

"He’s a new student at Shenlong Academy, not even First-stage yet."

"With him here, probably no Demonic Beings will dare invade the city."

"That might not hold true. These are just Level 30 monsters for now; there could be even higher-Level ones!"

Without hesitation, Angelina applied buffs to Jiang Chen. He didn’t actually need them; his main goal was to bring Angelina along so she could level up. This was a perfect opportunity for her.
