Chapter 96: 50% Resource Bonus!
"SS-rank martial arts can amplify one's strength by 300%. When combined with a fully mastered fourth-tier skill, it's equivalent to 20 times one's base strength. Once this level is reached, one can dominate an entire era!"
"As for SSS-level martial arts..."
Xu Zhe paused here, his tone filled with awe and longing, "Once you create it, it means you will directly become the strongest human being!"
"hiss--"
Upon hearing Xu Zhe's words, Jiang Chen and the other two gasped again, their eyes filled with shock and longing.
The strongest human!
What an honorable title!
No, it's not just a title of honor!
It is still a symbol of the strength of the strongest!
"call--"
Jiang Chen took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, his eyes gleaming.
I will definitely become the strongest human being!
No! I will surpass Ke Wu'ang, the strongest human!
He has a 30x power boost, so I'll get a 31x or 32x power boost!
However, the most important issue now seems to be how to create an SSS-level martial art.
Xu Zhe seemed to have figured out Jiang Chen's thoughts.
"So, although you are very strong now, you can't let your guard down, and you certainly can't be arrogant!" Xu Zhe said earnestly to Jiang Chen. "You must know that there are always people stronger than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. In this world, there are many, many martial artists stronger than you!"
"However, you don't need to be too hasty. Cultivating step by step, steadily and surely, is the right path!"
Jiang Chen nodded, indicating that he understood.
It's just a 30-fold increase!
With effort, you can definitely succeed!
It's just a matter of time.
It's been less than a month since I obtained the talent from the panel and activated it.
Jiang Chen had already achieved a 6-fold increase in strength, surpassing the ultimate martial artist.
This was something he would never have dared to imagine before.
Now, as long as you dare to dream, the rest is up to you to work hard (on the control panel).
……
Soon, reports of good news came through Xu Zhe and the others' communicators.
"Report! All Abyss Clan members have been wiped out!"
"Report! The entire territory of the Abyss Clan has been occupied!"
"Report! We have discovered a large mineral vein and resources, including..."
Good news kept coming from the front lines.
Upon hearing this news, Xu Zhe and the others all showed relieved smiles.
"It's finally over!"
Xu Zhe let out a long breath and muttered to himself.
She had been on tenterhooks ever since she arrived here from the war fortress, fearing that something unexpected might happen again.
Now that everything has settled down, her anxious heart can finally be put at ease.
"Yes, it's finally over!"
Niu Chao, Diao Wa, and the others also had expressions of deep emotion on their faces.
They won this war far too easily!
Those martial artists who guard this level 2 rift should also lose their jobs.
However, receiving a bonus and taking a vacation is not bad.
Then we'll go and guard other rift worlds.
It's also possible that they were sent to the Demon Insect Rift World, where the mortality rate is 90%, to fight against the Maggot King.
However, with Jiang Chen around, that Maggot King won't be able to cause trouble for long!
They really didn't expect it; everything was fine before.
Jiang Chen actually made him lose his job!
"Jiang Chen, thank you so much this time!"
Xu Zhe turned to look at Jiang Chen, his eyes filled with gratitude.
Without Jiang Chen, they could never have won so easily.
"Yes, Jiang Chen, you've done a great job this time!"
Niu Chao, Diao Wa, and the others echoed their sentiments.
"Hehe, it's all what I should do."
Jiang Chen smiled and said modestly.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."
Xu Zhe waved his hand and said, "Jiang Chen, in view of your tremendous contribution this time, the higher-ups have decided that you will receive 50% of the profits from all the resources mined in this rift world!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing Xu Zhe's words, Niu Chao and Diao Wa's eyes widened in shock and envy.
A 50% return!
How much money would that cost?!
"This...this is way too much!"
Jiang Chen was also somewhat surprised.
This cracked world must contain a vast amount of resources.
But he never expected that the country would give him half of the profits.
"Not much, not at all!"
Xu Zhe shook his head and said, "These resources were obtained for us through your own hard work and sacrifice; you deserve these rewards!"
"Yes, Jiang Chen, don't refuse! You deserve all of this!"
"That's right, you risked your life to kill hundreds of thousands of alien races, that's all your credit!"
Niu Chao and Diao Wa also tried to persuade him.
"Oh well."
Seeing this, Jiang Chen stopped refusing and nodded in agreement.
"Haha, that's more like it!"
Upon seeing this, Xu Zhe burst into laughter.
"By the way, Instructor Xu, how much is that 50% profit roughly?"
Jiang Chen asked curiously.
"How many?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhe was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, "To be honest, I don't know how many."
"However, I can say for sure that this amount of money is absolutely astronomical!"
"You will become the wealthiest second-tier martial artist in the entire Xia Kingdom, and even in the entire human race!"
"You should know that an ordinary second-tier martial artist is not qualified to obtain 50% of the wealth of a level 2 rift world."
Jiang Chen was a little confused.
I never expected to suddenly become so rich.
Does that mean he won't need government support anymore, and can use the most expensive medicine whenever he wants?
You can use as many bottles as you want each day.
We don't even need to worry about losses anymore!
Moreover, his younger sister is about to take the high school entrance exam, and she will definitely need a lot of resources then.
It's extremely expensive!
Now there's no need to worry about money at all.
Because the resources mined from this rift world will be supplied to him continuously.
Why do I feel like I've suddenly become a nouveau riche?
"50% it is then, who asked me to serve the people!" Jiang Chen waved his hand with feigned magnanimity, but inwardly he was overjoyed.
"You little rascal..." Xu Zhe shook his head helplessly. This kid really doesn't hold back!
However, Jiang Chen's achievements this time deserve this reward!
"By the way, Jiang Chen, what are your plans for the future?" Xu Zhe asked.
"Me?" Jiang Chen thought for a moment and said, "I still need to go back to the Magic Martial Arts University to continue my intensive training and strive to break through the 15-fold increase in strength as soon as possible!"
Is this what a super genius is like?
These ordinary people risk their lives to reach the level of a five-fold ultimate martial artist.
But their target was 15 times that amount – that's the difference!
"There's no rush for cultivation," Xu Zhe waved his hand and said, "You no longer need to participate in the training camp."
"You don't need to participate in the training camp anymore?" Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback. "Why?"
"Because the purpose of this intensive training is to cultivate ultimate martial artists," Xu Zhe explained. "And you, now, have not only reached the level of an ultimate martial artist, but have far surpassed it!"
"Therefore, there is no need for you to continue participating in the training camp."
"I see." Jiang Chen suddenly realized.
"Then... what should I do next?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Your most important thing right now is to get some rest," Xu Zhe said. "Tomorrow, representatives from the Xia Kingdom's top officials, the military's top officials, and the three top-tier martial arts universities and Kunlun Academy will all come to see you."
"To see me?" Jiang Chen was even more confused. "Why...why do they want to see me?"
"Of course, it's about discussing cooperation with you!" Xu Zhe said with a smile.
"With your current strength and potential, you've already attracted the attention of those countries!"
"They all want to win you over and provide you with the best cultivation resources so you can grow faster!"
"Therefore, you must negotiate well tomorrow and try your best to secure the greatest benefit for yourself!"
Upon hearing Xu Zhe's words, Jiang Chen's heart stirred.
So this is the benefit of having strength?
"I understand, Instructor Xu." Jiang Chen nodded.
He wanted to see what kind of conditions those big shots would offer!
……
As dawn approached, two transport planes slowly landed at Magic Martial Arts University.
One of the transport planes was loaded with Jiang Chen's spoils of war.
This includes deep-sea artifacts that can temporarily enhance a martial artist's comprehension, deep-sea meteorite iron suitable for forging divine weapons, and various rare medicinal materials, etc.
He desperately needs to forge a peerless sword.
His own sword had already been damaged in battle.
In the subsequent battles, they used fishbone knives.
"Jiang Chen, we'll leave you here."
Xu Zhe patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Now it's up to you!"
"Um!"
Jiang Chen nodded gratefully.
Instructor Xu was a great help to him.
……
……
Jiangnan Province Talent Training Camp.
Having just completed a real-world exercise, this was the first time these geniuses had gathered in five days.
They waited for a long time, but Instructor Xu did not come.
"Strange, where's Chief Instructor Xu?"
"Yeah, why is Instructor Diao giving the speech today?"
"Could it be...?"
The trainees looked at each other, a bad feeling creeping into their hearts.
Just then, two figures slowly walked into the training ground.
The trainees perked up immediately upon seeing the newcomer.
"stand at attention!"
Niu Chao gave a low shout, and all the trainees immediately stood up straight, their eyes fixed straight ahead.
"At ease!"
Niu Chao nodded, then turned to Diao Wa beside him and said, "Instructor Diao, why don't you explain?"
"Um."
Diao Wa nodded, stepped forward, glanced at the trainees below, and said in a deep voice, "I have some news for you all. Chief Instructor Xu has other important tasks to attend to, so he will not be coming to the training camp anymore."
"What?!"
Upon hearing Diao Wa's words, all the trainees' expressions changed drastically, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Chief Instructor Xu is their goddess!
Why did you leave so suddenly?!
They didn't even say hello.
This is so typical of Instructor Xu.
"Instructor, who will be our head instructor from now on?"
One of the students couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, instructor, please tell us!"
The other students echoed this sentiment.
"Starting today, Instructor Niu and I will be your new instructors," Diao Wa said.
"Let me introduce myself first, I'm Diao Wa!"
"I'm Niu Chao!"
"ah?!"
Upon hearing Diao Wa's words, all the trainees wore expressions of disappointment.
These two new instructors, compared to Chief Instructor Xu, still seem to fall a little short!
"Alright, enough talk, go back and rest, and prepare for tomorrow's training!"
"Look at you all, so listless! How are you going to break through to the pinnacle of martial arts like this?"
"And look at your practical assessment results, they're absolutely terrible."
"You guys are the worst class of trainees I've ever taught!"
Diao Wa waved his hand impatiently.
"By the way, Instructor Diao, I have another question!"
Just then, a student suddenly raised his hand and asked a question.
"explain!"
Diao Wa said irritably.
"I want to know, where... Jiang Chen went?"
The student hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question that had been bothering him.
"Jiang Chen?"
Upon hearing this name, Diao Wa couldn't help but smile with pride.
"Him..."
Diao Wa paused, glanced at the students below, and said, word by word, "He graduated early!"
"What?!"
"Graduated early?!"
"This...how is this possible?!"
Upon hearing Diao Wa's words, all the students froze instantly, their faces showing utter shock.
They simply couldn't believe that Jiang Chen, who had always been at the bottom of the class, would graduate early!
"This...how is this possible?!"
"Jiang Chen... how could he possibly graduate early?!"
"Yeah, hasn't he always been at the bottom?! Even if his performance in this practical assessment is phenomenal, it's not like he can graduate directly!"
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, unable to accept this fact.
"Could it be...?"
Suddenly, a genius martial artist seemed to realize something, and his expression changed drastically.
"Could it be... that Jiang Chen has already reached the level of an ultimate martial artist?!"
"hiss--"
Upon hearing the words of this genius martial artist, the other genius martial artists couldn't help but gasp, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"This...how is this possible?!"
"Jiang Chen... how could he possibly have reached the level of a top-tier martial artist?!"
"Yeah, what were his qualifications?! How did he dare to become a top-tier martial artist?"
"How could one possibly reach the pinnacle of martial arts so easily!"
"Exactly! I could believe you if you said Jiang Chen was close to the level of a peak martial artist, but I don't believe he'd reached the peak level!"
"I don't believe it either! If becoming a supreme martial artist were that easy, I would have become one long ago."
"He's just good at killing alien races and has a lot of practical experience, but he's definitely not an ultimate martial artist."
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, unable to accept this fact.
Which of these genius martial artists isn't exceptionally talented?
Which one of them didn't start practicing martial arts from a young age?
Which one wasn't built with a huge amount of resources spent by the family?
However, despite cultivating for so many years, not one of them has been able to reach the level of an ultimate martial artist!
And what about Jiang Chen?
What are his family's financial situation like?
Two weeks ago, when I entered the training camp, my skills were at the bottom!
When I slaughtered the alien races during the day, I was only just approaching the pinnacle of martial arts.
Only a few hours have passed?
He had already reached the level of an ultimate martial artist!
How can these so-called geniuses bear this?!
"I don't believe it!"
A talented martial artist, his eyes red, roared, "I don't believe Jiang Chen can reach the level of a peak martial artist!"
"I don't believe it either!"
"I don't believe it either!"
……
The other talented martial artists echoed this sentiment, all finding it unacceptable.
snort!
Believe it or not!
Niu Chao snorted coldly and said, "Who said he became a top-tier martial artist?!"
"I knew it, Jiang Chen definitely hadn't reached the pinnacle of martial arts."
"Exactly, how could one reach the pinnacle of martial arts so easily?"
"I breathed a sigh of relief. If Jiang Chen had really reached the pinnacle of martial arts, my worldview would have collapsed."
"That's right, then my Dao heart will collapse."
"That talent was enough to make me despair; I felt I could never catch up to him in this lifetime. But thankfully, Jiang Chen hasn't reached the pinnacle of martial arts yet."
"Yes, we can still catch up."
Niu Chao frowned as he listened to the discussions of these geniuses.
Diao Wa also looked displeased. Jiang Chen wasn't an ultimate martial artist, but he was beyond one!
These geniuses are truly psychologically twisted.
If you can't do it yourself, why don't you want others to do well?
Don't you want others to become the ultimate martial artist?
They're all traitors!
They should be sent to feed the alien race.
Jiang Chen is a hero; he single-handedly resolved the Abyss Rift!
These guys actually thought that if Jiang Chen improved slowly, they could catch up with him?
You think you're worthy of being called geniuses?
Truly proud and ambitious martial arts geniuses who refuse to fall behind others.
The correct idea should be that if Jiang Chen can do it, then they certainly can too!
If Jiang Chen's information hadn't been classified as top secret, preventing the revelation of his secret of surpassing the ultimate martial artist level, they would have driven these psychologically twisted little guys to despair.
Diao Wa and Niu Chao both snorted coldly, their voices turning icy.
"Jiang Chen's current achievements are something you'll never catch up to in your entire lives, even if he stopped and waited for you!"
"I wouldn't even bother with someone like you!"
"A bunch of scum!"
After saying this, the two instructors stormed off in anger.
The group of geniuses were left standing there dumbfounded, staring at each other in disbelief.
Did they say something wrong?
Little did they know that Jiang Chen was now someone even these two instructors had to rely on.
How could they possibly gossip behind someone's back?
That means I've offended those two instructors!
They'll be in for a rough time during the upcoming training camp.
However, some geniuses are not fools and have already realized something.
