Chapter 365 The Past Revealed, the World Shocked by One Person
Chapter 365 The Past Revealed, the World Shocked by One Person
A peaceful weekday afternoon.
The release of an official message completely shattered the silence.
It not only plunged the entire Great Xia into a state of uproar and shock, but also, like a boulder crashing into a lake, stirred up a storm across the globe.
The rebuilt Namjang City.
Inside a villa, Ji Feiyue sat on a chair on the second-floor balcony, taking a nap in the afternoon.
She wore simple loungewear, her long, bright red hair cascading over her shoulders, and her long, flawless legs beneath her slit skirt were breathtakingly alluring.
"President!"
"President!"
Rena's voice came from below, urgent and excited.
Ji Feiyue slowly opened her eyes, her pupils shining like rubies.
This former Crimson Goddess, now the Blood Rose Guild Master, has gradually regained her power over time and has unknowingly reached the level of an eighth-tier Grandmaster.
"Why did you come to see me in such a hurry? What happened?"
She parted her cherry lips slightly.
Rena's petite figure flashed to the front of him with lightning, panting softly, but her face was full of excitement.
"President! Just as you said! Brother Jiang is indeed still alive!!"
"he……"
"He's become an incredibly important person now!!"
"He's a little monster!!"
Reina, who has now grown into a fifth-level martial artist, jumped up and down with excitement.
"A general! A general who's not even twenty years old!! I wouldn't even dare to dream of it!"
"Quick, check online!"
When Ji Feiyue finished reading the official notice online, she was slightly taken aback, and then a charming smile appeared on her lips.
"I knew I hadn't misjudged him."
"That kid... is even more freakish than I imagined."
……
The official announcement is as follows:
With the national war imminent, and considering the public's keen interest and the need for a fair and just selection process, the Royal Court and the Ten Ministers have decided, after discussion, to announce the participants and team leaders for this national war. The participants are: Lin Qingyan, Sikong, Chen Xi, Yan Runan, and An Tianzong.
[Team Leader - Jiang Yuan]
Following Jiang Yuan's name is a series of bold black letters indicating his identity and reputation.
These include:
[Recipient of the Great Xia Dynasty's highest honor, the Purple Dragon Badge]
[Newly Appointed Professor of Kendo at Shenwu Academy]
[Top scorer in the 297th Martial Arts Examination]
The youngest general of the Great Xia Dynasty
The Hero Who Saved a City
Deputy Captain of the Zero Team, Patrol Division
[A leader whose combat power rivals that of a near-king, approved by all ten ministers in the national war.]
Every single label is shockingly large.
When all these labels are combined on one person, the result is not just shock, but enough to terrify.
Some martial artists were stunned after reading it, their minds going blank for more than ten seconds, wondering if the news was a mistake.
Is this really an official announcement, or was the official account hacked and released as fake news?
Just because!
This report is absolutely shocking!
It's hard to believe.
Just like the top scorer and future academic giant of the previous year's college entrance examination, these two labels just don't seem to connect with each other...
"Jiang Yuan, the hero of Nanjiang City! He actually survived!! My God!!"
"Impossible!! Even if he's not dead, less than a year has passed, how could he have reached such a level!"
"But it's unlikely that the authorities would spread false information..."
"I heard that during the anomaly in Nanjiang City last year, he had already become the world's strongest sixth-tier martial artist, ascended to the top of the Martial Artist Tower, and his strength was fully unleashed, comparable to a ninth-tier grandmaster. Now that he has returned from the abyss, it is not impossible for him to become even stronger..."
"But that's comparable to a quasi-king, a quasi-king level individual not even twenty years old... Hiss!!"
"Incredible! Absolutely incredible!!"
"I wouldn't even dare to think about it, I wouldn't even dare to dream of doing it, would I?"
"You're using a cheat engine, aren't you?!"
"I know this kid. He used to live upstairs from me. His parents weren't around, so he lived with his uncle and aunt. He even bought steamed buns from my family's steamed bun shop two years ago. He was such a handsome and cheerful young man. How come in just two years, he's become a hero who saved the city, a general...?"
"Don't even mention it. My 23-year-old is still honing his physical abilities and hasn't even obtained a first-tier martial artist certificate yet..."
"The difference between people is greater than the difference between people and monsters!"
"Didn't you guys notice the introduction of the professor in the Swordsmanship Department at Shenwu Academy? Becoming a professor after only one year of enrollment—that's unprecedented, isn't it?"
……
Gradually, as the authorities lifted the ban on Jiang Yuan's identity information.
His past actions have also been completely exposed to the world.
A lord-level monster descends upon the academy; a young boy stands atop the heavens, slaying a hellish dragon with his blade.
In what appears to be a video taken by a student, a terrifying hellish dragon descends upon the city and rushes towards the school. Just as the principal and teachers are in despair, wounded and driven back, a black-haired, black-clad boy wielding a scarlet longsword descends from the sky, like a savior, blocking the fatal blow.
"This road is blocked; proceed with caution."
Upon hearing his words, hundreds of millions of people in the video trembled and shuddered, their hair standing on end.
"That's an eighth-tier lord-level monster."
"What rank is he at now?"
"It hasn't been that long since the college entrance exam ended, has it?!"
"Holy crap..."
[A strange event occurs in Nanjiang City: a colossal monster descends, and a young man unleashes his power in the face of adversity, igniting a ray of hope in the sky.]
In the video, a colossal monster formed from billions of river waters wreaks havoc, and a bizarre demonic shadow descends. The boy, whose entire body is shrouded in raging flames, ignores the advice of a group of powerful figures and resolutely rushes into the demonic shadow's body, transforming into a golden star that dispels the eeriness and brings hope.
In Nanjiang City, a mother with her two-year-old child stared blankly at the video, her thoughts returning to that desperate day, recalling the golden star that seemed to shatter the darkness like hope, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
"So...it was you."
"You saved us..."
"Thank you, thank you!!"
……
[Amidst the city ruins, a young man merges with a mechanical creation, transforming into an Apostle of Purgatory, to battle a ninth-tier Lord-level Destruction Machine God.]
When I saw the scene in the video where the boy, transformed into the Purgatory Apostle, fought desperately to kill the Destruction Machine God that was destroying the city, only to be swallowed by the huge abyss vortex that appeared in the sky.
Jiang Yuan's parents, uncle and aunt, and Mo Xixi all recalled that desperate day and couldn't help but shed tears.
The other people of Great Xia who were unaware of all this were even more shocked.
Unexpectedly, in that great upheaval, the one who contributed the most and sacrificed the most was a boy who was not even eighteen years old.
He single-handedly saved millions of innocent people.
"It turns out that Nanjiang City was facing such a desperate situation at that time, isolated and helpless, even the quasi-king was powerless."
"It's too difficult, too bitter, and so hopeless that I think many people would choose to give up."
"He probably didn't expect to come back alive, sacrificing everything for his parents, relatives, and innocent civilians..."
"I only now realize how valuable the Purple Dragon Badge is."
"Who understands that one glance back from the Apostle of Purgatory? I'm crying my eyes out, waaaaaah..."
"Who dares say he doesn't deserve a Purple Dragon Badge?! Didn't someone say he wasn't good enough? Say that now!!"
"God Jiang!! From now on, I'll see who dares to slander God Jiang! I'll fight them to the death!"
