"Where is he?" Daniel perked up immediately upon hearing Jiang Chu's name.
Daniel's career has been going very smoothly lately. Because of several great victories, he has become the most sought-after figure in the Northern Alliance. His position in the military has been promoted from deputy chief of staff of the First Army Corps to deputy army commander, and his rank has reached general.
However, he also heard that his old rival and friend Jiang Chu had become the deputy minister of the Xia Kingdom's military and an imperial general, which made him somewhat resentful.
He knew that in terms of military achievements, he could not compare with Jiang Chu. Jiang Chu truly deserved his honor, but Jiang Chu was probably only a 7th-rank soldier at the moment!
Even if it's an 8th-tier, it's probably not much stronger than him.
So he had always wanted to fight Jiang Chu.
"Right there!" Curly pointed to Jiang Chu not far away.
Daniel followed the direction the curly-haired man was pointing.
At this moment, Jiang Chu was still chatting with Cui Zhencheng.
Daniel walked over and patted Jiang Chu on the shoulder, saying, "Brother Jiang Chu! Long time no see!"
Jiang Chu knew that Daniel was very active, so even though Daniel had advanced many times, Jiang Chu always knew exactly what his face looked like now.
Upon seeing the other person, Jiang Chu smiled and asked, "You're at level 8, right?"
"Yeah, I'm at level 8 now. What about you?"
“I’m also just at level 8,” Jiang Chu said. “Come on, let me introduce you to this older brother. He’s legendary. When I met him, he was only at level 3. Now he’s accumulated a lot of experience and suddenly reached level 7.”
“Oh, Big Brother is amazing!” Daniel said.
They quickly exchanged a few pleasantries.
"Jiang Chu, have you finished testing your overall combat strength?" Daniel asked.
"Yes, he's finished the test," Cui Zhencheng said. "Do you want to give it a try?"
“Okay!” Daniel smiled and extended his hand.
He didn't believe Jiang Chu was better than him.
Because he has been constantly studying military special training techniques for more than a year, his skills have improved rapidly.
Moreover, he always felt that Jiang Chu's training methods were outdated.
Jiang Chu's current strength is at most about 2000 points higher than his, but his actual combat ability is...
Daniel's test results came back quickly.
Overall combat power, combat power after equipment.
It is absolutely top-tier among the current 8th tier.
"Jiang Chu, what is your combat strength?" Daniel asked.
"I'm not much taller than you," Jiang Chu said modestly.
He himself didn't know why, but he simply didn't want to argue with Daniel anymore.
I don't know if it's because I've matured or for some other reason.
Now, Jiang Chu is focused entirely on how to conquer the underground palace.
Ironically, his video of conquering the underground palace has never appeared online.
Because no one can learn it, and even if they did, it wouldn't be of any use.
This is the overwhelming power of talent.
“I’m curious, just how much taller is he than me?” Daniel asked with a smile.
Recently, Daniel met with his old friends Carl, Schneider, and Crown Prince Ivan, only to discover, to his dismay, that they were all stronger than him in overall combat.
Moreover, they were all incredibly humble.
However, foreigners and Chinese people will always have different ways of thinking and interacting with each other.
They always treated Daniel with an arrogant attitude, which made Daniel very unhappy.
Jiang Chu, on the other hand, treated everyone he met as a brother, and he was very close to Karl and others.
Therefore, Daniel felt that Jiang Chu was incompetent and no longer capable.
"It's really not that much higher. I came here today just to find a place to level up and practice casually. I don't mean anything else. Look, I didn't even bring my troops with me."
Jiang Chu's explanation was just a cover-up to the other party.
Daniel squinted at him, unwilling to miss this opportunity to tease him no matter what.
"Don't be so polite, old friend. I'd really like to have a friendly spar with you. Your words make me feel a little embarrassed."
"Let's skip the sparring," Jiang Chu said. "You know I'm not short of money. Right now, I just want to get G-grade equipment for the brothers."
"Here's what we'll do: measure your overall combat strength and show it to me. If it's higher than mine, I'll give you G-grade materials," Daniel laughed.
Jiang Chu was even more embarrassed: "That's so embarrassing!"
"2000 higher, you get the materials for one piece of equipment. 4000 higher, you get two pieces, and so on."
Jiang Chu's brows furrowed deeply: "There's only one high-end piece!"
Daniel was so angry he wanted to kill someone: "Bro, stop kidding me. Can you even be better than me? Besides, you're really ripping people off with a set of equipment materials. Are you at it again with your old trick of ripping off gods?"
Jiang Chu found it amusing.
After the battle at the Black Islands, G-grade materials are indeed not as valuable to the Xia Kingdom anymore.
However, it is more valuable to other countries.
The biggest beneficiary of that war was the Xia Kingdom; the Yijie Empire only gained back the territory it had lost.
What Xia Kingdom obtained were the loot from all the motherships and the loot from most of the dungeons in the Black Islands, which was incomparable to what they had obtained before.
"Then forget it, don't look at it anymore," Jiang Chu said irritably.
"No, I'll bet with you! I'll do as you say!"
Before Jiang Chu could say anything more, the other party proactively sent him the agreement!
