Chapter 716: Chapter 373: Profound Breakthrough, Eight Breaks!
“Black Obsidian City’s Extraordinary Talents Ranking seventh? Wang Ye?”
“From the Barbaric Wilderness? Or some low-level tribe?”
“Could such a genius really emerge from a low-level tribe?”
“Unbelievable.” In Black Obsidian City, various factions were utterly stupefied.
Indeed there are geniuses in the Barbaric Wilderness.
But those geniuses, in a powerhouse-filled Black Obsidian City, barely make a ripple.
For instance, Zhao Zhuo’s guard Jiang Lai, a top genius from a high-level tribe in the Barbaric Wilderness, could only become a guard after arriving in Black Obsidian City.
But Jiang Ye? He merely came from a low-level tribe.
“A talent, worth recruiting!”
“Promise a hefty reward, invite Wang Ye to join our Tianji Pavilion.”
“Visit him personally, and make sure to invite him to join us.”
“The Black Tower is about to open, and this Wang Ye is sure to break through to the 7th layer or above, we should invite him to join our Xuanwu Hall ahead of time.”
As the ranking was announced, many factions within the city began to act in secret.
…
Black Obsidian City, in a palace of Xingchen Pavilion.
“This Wang Ye truly comes from a low-level tribe?” Zhao Zhuo was shocked when he received the news.
He had suspected it before but dared not confirm it.
Now that the news proved it, Zhao Zhuo could hardly believe it.
“No wonder!”
“That woman Zhao Zishuang said Wang Ye is an honorable guest.” Zhao Chen squinted: “But didn’t clarify his background.”
“Turns out she was afraid we’d compete with the Celestial Gang Palace for Wang Ye.”
In a flash, he understood everything.
“Brother.” Zhao Zhuo couldn’t help but ask: “Should we invite Wang Ye?”
“No need.” Zhao Chen snorted: “Wang Ye hasn’t joined the Celestial Gang Palace by now, evidently he has no intention of joining any faction.”
“Even if we proactively invite him, he wouldn’t accept.”
“Why?” Zhao Zhuo was puzzled.
“I suspect.”
“This Wang Ye is likely waiting until the breakthrough of the Black Tower to attract the attention of those certain elders.” Zhao Chen snorted: “Such ambitious aspirations.”
“Are you saying?” Zhao Zhuo’s eyes widened: “Those few Fourth Tier demigod elders?”
He understood Zhao Chen’s implication.
Among the thirty-six elders of Black Obsidian City, most are Third Tier demigods, with only a few Fourth Tier demigods.
To attract the attention of a Third Tier demigod elder, one only needs to break through the seventh layer of the Black Tower.
But to win the favor of a Fourth Tier demigod elder, one must at least break through the eighth layer.
On the Extraordinary Talents Ranking, only the top five can achieve this.
“Wang Ye?”
“He wants the attention of those elders too?” Zhao Zhuo gritted his teeth: “Dream on!”
Today’s banquet left him feeling quite unsatisfied.
Though he didn’t dare say anything against Jiang Ye on the surface.
Inside, he was filled with indignation.
As a God Descendant, getting humiliated by a native from a low-level tribe was a bitter pill to swallow.
“Enough.”
“These matters are none of your concern.” Zhao Chen said flatly: “In this Black Tower Trial, you should also strive to break into the Fifth Layer.”
“Don’t let Zhao Zixuan surpass you.” Zhao Chen added.
“I understand.” Zhao Zhuo nodded.
Soon after.
“Then will today’s matter just pass like this?” Zhao Zhuo couldn’t help but ask.
He was obviously referring to the matter with Jiang Ye.
“What else?”
“If Wang Ye really breaks through the eighth layer of the Black Tower and catches the eye of a Fourth Tier demigod elder.” Zhao Chen said nonchalantly: “Then we have even more reason to befriend him.”
“Don’t delve into it too deeply.” Zhao Chen advised Zhao Zhuo.
“Yes.” Zhao Zhuo nodded quickly.
He knew his ability to contend with a genius like Zhao Zishuang was entirely reliant on Zhao Chen’s status.
Thus he always respected his brother’s words greatly.
…
Amidst external turmoil.
Within Jiang Ye’s residence, it was quite tranquil.
Soon after returning to his residence, Jiang Ye received a communication from Zhao Zixuan.
“Wang Ye.”
“I didn’t expect your identity would be uncovered so quickly either.” Zhao Zixuan said apologetically: “The city’s information network is sharper than I imagined.”
“No worries.” Jiang Ye chuckled: “It has nothing to do with you all.”
In fact,
If he had agreed to join the Celestial Gang Palace, he wouldn’t have faced these troubles.
However, Jiang Ye currently had no intention of joining any faction.
“There will probably be many people visiting you soon.” Zhao Zixuan noted: “Do you need us to help with the reception?”
She was clever, having discerned Jiang Ye’s thoughts.
“That would be great, Sister Zixuan.” Jiang Ye agreed without refusal.
In the coming period, he intended on focused training and indeed needed to keep external disturbances at bay.
“About those gifts, are you planning to reject all of them?” Zhao Zixuan inquired: “Some might not be trying to recruit you but rather express goodwill.”
“Accept them based on the situation.”
Jiang Ye considered: “If it’s particularly valuable, then no need to accept, you help me filter them.”
“Okay.” Zhao Zixuan gestured an acknowledgment.
“Wang Ye.”
“Feels like I’ve become your assistant all of a sudden.” Zhao Zixuan said playfully, blinking her bright eyes: “Just a step away from serving you personally.”
“Sister Zixuan is joking.” Jiang Ye shook his head with a smile, though his heart was stirred.
The Martial Arts Celestial Ladder’s first layer could indeed have new material.
“Thanks, Sister Zixuan, for the trouble.”
“Next time, if Sister Zixuan needs any help, just let me know.” Jiang Ye promised: “As long as I’m here, I’ll do my utmost to assist.”
“Alright.” Zhao Zixuan’s eyes lit up, a look of anticipation immediately surfacing in her gaze.
Little did she know, Jiang Ye was but a passerby in this world.
Soon, he would quietly depart.
…
A moment later.
Zhao Zixuan ended the communication.
Jiang Ye entered a quiet chamber, sitting cross-legged.
“8th Tier Purple Spirit Crystal.” Jiang Ye turned his palm over, and a purple crystal appeared.
The crystal was octagonal, its surface covered with numerous mysterious runes, emitting an indescribable alluring aura.
