Chapter 17: Damage Test Again, the Rose Guild is Stunned
Inside the usually quiet Chongming Martial Arts Hall.
Several guests came today, all women, each with a distinct style.
"Is he coming?" asked Ji Feiyue, the red-haired, aloof, and sophisticated woman.
Xu Yihan nodded.
A short-haired, slender woman wearing a tank top and shorts, with bandages wrapped around her hands, exclaimed excitedly, "Great! We get to see a handsome high school student with over 10,000 damage!"
Another quiet beauty, dressed in a mage's robe and with long, light purple hair, sat in a seat, slowly sipping a pot of tea with both hands, a staff beside her.
Ji Feiyue said, "I investigated that high school student named Jiang Yuan. During the awakening ceremony a while ago, he only awakened an E-level talent and changed to an ordinary assassin. Even if he becomes a first-level martial artist, it's impossible for him to deal more than 10,000 damage."
"I saw it with my own eyes, there's absolutely no mistake," Xu Yihan assured.
Ji Feiyue nodded, her red eyes sparkling: "If what you said is correct, it means he has been hiding his talent and profession."
"But why would he do that?" the short-haired woman asked, puzzled. "Wouldn't it be better to showcase his talent and get more resources?"
"I heard that on the day of the awakening ceremony, a suicide attack by an Abyss Cultist occurred at Martial Arts High School, resulting in the immediate death of a female teacher and serious injuries to several students," Ji Feiyue said, her eyes flashing.
"So... he chose to hide to avoid attacks from the Abyss Cultists?" Xu Yihan guessed.
Ji Feiyue nodded: "If that's the case, it means that his awakened talent is so amazing that he needs to hide it."
While the group was talking...
A young man walked in the pouring rain with an umbrella and stopped at the entrance of the martial arts school.
The automatic door opened, and a human voice sounded.
"Welcome to Chongming Martial Arts School."
Upon hearing this, the group looked up and gazed outside.
"They're here."
Jiang Yuan walked into the martial arts hall and was slightly taken aback when he saw the group of people.
"Welcome, Jiang," Xu Yihan said with a smile. "Let me introduce you. This is our guild leader, a Tier 5 powerhouse of an epic-level rare support class."
"Hello." With her striking red hair, stunning beauty, and aloof demeanor, Ji Feiyue extended her hand to Jiang Yuan and smiled, "Ji Feiyue."
"Jiang Yuan." Jiang Yuan reached out and shook her hand; her skin felt smooth and lustrous like jade.
"Blue Snow, third tier, Light Mage," said the quiet, beautiful woman with long, light purple hair.
"My name is Roy, I'm a Tier 2 fighter." The short-haired beauty leaned close to Jiang Yuan, excitedly grasped his hand, and looked at him with shining eyes, saying, "Yihan was right, you're even more handsome than I imagined. Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Calm down, don't scare him away!" Xu Yihan grabbed her by the back of her collar and pulled her back to her original position, while saying to Jiang Yuan, "My profession is a magic-breaking spearman, second tier."
Ji Feiyue smiled and said, "Besides them, our Crimson Rose Guild has two other members, one male and one female. The male is a Tier 3 Greatshield user, and the female is an Assassin, also a Tier 3 user. Currently, we have a total of six people. That's the situation in our guild."
Jiang Yuan nodded slightly.
"I believe Yihan has already told you that our guild needs a member with extremely high burst damage."
"Jiang, let me get straight to the point. Do you have a rare profession?"
Jiang Yuan was taken aback. "Why do you ask that?"
Ji Feiyue laughed and said, "Because if it's not a rare profession, it's impossible to deal more than 10,000 damage before becoming a martial artist. To be honest, I've also done some research on you, and I can confirm that you didn't awaken an E-level talent, and you didn't become an ordinary assassin."
Looking into Ji Feiyue's crimson eyes, which seemed to see through people's hearts, Jiang Yuan remained silent.
Ji Feiyue stepped forward, getting closer to Jiang Yuan, and an alluring fragrance wafted over her. "For me, money is not a problem. My dream is to build the top guild in the country."
"I know you're not a martial artist yet, but that's okay. As long as you have S-rank talent or have switched to a rare or higher hidden profession, if you can meet our needs, we're willing to spend time and resources to train you. We can also sign an A-rank contract with you, so in addition to what you earn in the Abyss, you'll receive an extra ten million in income every year."
"What do you think?"
Jiang Yuan hadn't spoken yet.
Xu Yihan suddenly spoke, her tone shocked: "Wait, you've become a martial artist?"
Ji Feiyue was stunned, and Luo Yi and Lan Xue also realized that the blood and qi on the young man in front of them were frighteningly dense.
"Could I ask what level you are currently at?"
"LV2," Jiang Yuan said, there was nothing wrong with saying it.
The others were slightly shaken upon hearing this, and Xu Yihan was particularly shocked.
How long has it been, and he's already a martial artist?
There are probably only a handful of first-level martial artists taking the college entrance exam in the entire Nanjiang City.
Ji Feiyue's assessment of Jiang Yuan improved again, and she asked, "Jiang, could you take a look at your current damage?"
"Can."
Jiang Yuan also wanted to test his current injuries.
Under the watchful eyes of several people, he walked up to the combat power testing machine and threw a punch.
"Bang!"
The sound was like a muffled thunderclap.
The entire combat capability test machine trembled.
The numbers jumped rapidly before finally stopping.
As she watched the string of numbers appear, Xu Yihan's pupils contracted, and her mouth opened wide involuntarily.
34922!
"Thirty-five thousand?! You must be kidding me!" Roy exclaimed in disbelief.
Lan Xue couldn't help but cover her mouth.
Ji Feiyue stared intently at Jiang Yuan, her inner thoughts far from calm as she appeared.
Because this number is too outrageous!
Even for a level 19 second-tier martial artist, it's difficult to reach a maximum damage of 30,000.
He's only LV2, and judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to be using his full strength yet...
Jiang Yuan looked at the damage values with a calm expression.
His strength has now exceeded 1,000, and the damage caused by his basic strength has exceeded 10,000.
The Ripple's power is doubled, plus the 100% damage increase from the Breath of Fire technique and the Crimson Bracers.
This allows him to reach a base damage of 35,000 without using any skills.
If the [Martial God] skill is used, single-target damage exceeding 400,000 is not out of the question, while a Tier 2 BOSS probably only has 300,000 HP.
"Jiang, you, you..." Xu Yihan stammered.
The short-haired beauty, Roy, stared blankly at herself, muttering, "Even if I use my skills, the highest damage I can deal is only 40,000, while he..."
Ji Feiyue looked at Jiang Yuan, her gaze changing, becoming incredibly intense, as if she were looking at a treasure.
evildoer!
Absolutely monstrous!
"Jiang, I've changed my mind. If you're willing to join our Crimson Rose, I can offer you an S-rank contract. In addition to the extra earnings from killing monsters in the Abyss, I'll give you an extra 100 million every year, and there will be no restrictions on your activities. As long as you can join us in dungeons when we need you."
Upon hearing Ji Feiyue's words, not only was Jiang Yuan stunned, but Xu Yihan and the others were also taken aback.
With such conditions, they could basically recruit even a seventh-tier expert.
But now she's using it to recruit a LV2 high school student.
If anyone else heard this, they would definitely think she was joking.
Ji Feiyue stared at Jiang Yuan, her determined gaze revealing that she was not joking.
"If you're willing, we can sign the contract now."
