The ninth rank is an awkward position between a data-driven powerhouse and a true Spirit Awakener.
The energy division from level one to level nine is very simple. Taking the strength system as an example, the basic energy points of an ordinary person who has not awakened their spirit are generally around 0.7. It takes 2 points to reach the first level of the strength system. After that, the strength energy will double for each level, eventually reaching the threshold of level nine, which is 512.
Although the realm above the ninth rank is called the Void Spirit Realm, it is not actually the case. Data can be increased infinitely. Even if the energy level of the ninth rank is doubled to reach the top 1,024 points, it can still only be considered within the ninth rank range, not the Void Spirit Realm above the ninth rank.
The Void Spirit Realm is not a realm that can be reached simply by accumulating energy. Therefore, those who have not reached the Void Spirit Realm but whose strength far exceeds that of the ninth rank are collectively referred to as Super Ninth Rank.
The ninth rank is an infinitely forbidden realm. No one dares to venture into this realm for an extended period of time, because the longer you stay in the ninth rank, the more difficult it becomes to break through to the Void Spirit Realm. However, this does not mean that the ninth rank is weak. On the contrary, there are many strong individuals in the ninth rank. Some of them even have basic energy points exceeding 10,000, which can crush the Void Spirit Realm in terms of combat power.
"I broke the seal to kill you. What does that mean?"
Wan Jin glared at Jiang Yuan with hatred, then asked himself, "This means that starting tomorrow, I cannot set foot on the battlefield until it is fully operational again. Do you know how much of an opportunity this has cost me?"
"I don't know, and I'm not interested in knowing!" Jiang Yuan shot the flying Ghost Bass King, then pointed at Wan Jin and said, "Right now, I'm only interested in your head!"
So what if he's above the ninth rank? He's not afraid at all until the desolate spirit fades away!
"The bloodlust value continues to rise, currently providing the host with 532 points of divine energy. Once the bloodlust ends, all bloodlust value will be converted into life force to nourish the host."
He's currently at his peak, and even if the God Battle enters its cooldown period, he can still wear down his opponent.
"Get out of my way!"
The Ghost Bass King, which had just been knocked down by Jiang Yuan, flew up again, but this time its target was Wan Jin. However, Wan Jin was not so easy to deal with at this moment. He cursed and swung his fist to smash it.
"Divine Martial Hammer!"
A flash of golden light appeared, and a bloody hole appeared in the Ghost Bass King's body as it was slammed back into the lake.
"Jiang Yuan, say your last words! I'll take them back so the Holy Maiden can give up!" Wan Jin, who seemed to be a god-king incarnate, floated in the air, his half-human body and half-holy hammer hand holding a jade slip.
The Ghost Bass King leaped out of the water in fury. It had been enraged by being knocked back into the water several times. This king of the water was determined to take revenge, to vent its anger, and to eat people!
"Get the hell out of here!" Jiang Yuanqiang unleashed a powerful Tai Chi punch, slamming the Ghost Bass King into the water once again.
"No need, you can't take her back even if I tell you! I'll personally go to your sacred mountain to find her!" Jiang Yuan pointed his spear at Wan Jin, his eyes filled with fierce fighting spirit and without a trace of fear.
So what if you're above the ninth rank? If you have no enemy in your heart, then you are invincible!
"Arrogant fool, then I'll have no choice but to take your head back with me!"
Wan Jin brandished his sword and charged forward to fight Jiang Yuan.
This time, Wan Jin did not blindly use the Divine Martial Hammer. After so many attempts, he figured out Jiang Yuan's defense. Even if the defense was broken, Wan Jin's burst of power could dissipate nearly 80% of it. If he wanted to kill Jiang Yuan, the only way was to use a weapon comparable to his armor.
Although the sword in his hand appeared to be only of the ninth rank, it was a sealed sword. It could tear apart even the strongest armor, let alone a ninth-rank one.
Amidst the flashing blades and the dazzling light reflected off the shimmering lake, the two fighters remained completely unaffected, their back-and-forth exchange only fueling their frenzy.
You slash me with your knife, I'll stab you with my gun!
You punch me, I'll punch you back!
It has to be said that Wan Jin has become much stronger since their last meeting. With such strength, he would not have been defeated by the super warrior team led by Yin Cha.
"Reopen the seal!"
Wan Jin had gone mad. His basic energy points had reached 1,500, and thunderous sounds echoed across the lake, as if the might of heaven could descend at any moment.
"Your Highness, we cannot lift the seal any further. If we do, not only will you be affected, but your Holy Spirit Temple will also be implicated by the battlefield rules!" The last remaining rhinoceros spoke in human language, earnestly advising him.
"Die!"
Jiang Yuan had been waiting for the one-horned rhinoceros to lower its guard, and now was the best time to make his move.
"A born emperor!"
Jiang Yuan's gaze was fixed on the one-horned rhinoceros. He activated the Moonlight Mirror and made his move instantly. At that moment, his figure perfectly blended into the moonlight, and the spear in his hand was a cold, moonlit shadow that was difficult to catch.
"A hundredfold stealth kill!"
With a whoosh, the one-horned rhinoceros had already become more vigilant after witnessing the deaths of its companions, but this time the opponent's speed was surprisingly fast. It only saw a flash of the spear shadow under the moonlight, and when it saw the spear shadow again, it was already in its eyes.
The spear pierced its head!
"Impossible!" The one-horned rhinoceros was filled with fear; it couldn't believe that its opponent had pierced its defenses so easily.
"Die!" Jiang Yuan activated the divine power within his body, wanting to completely resolve this trouble.
But the one-horned rhinoceros clearly did not want to end its life. It was gradually breaking the seal. It was also a sacred beast whose strength was sealed due to the rules of the battlefield.
"There's no chance!"
Jiang Yuan drew his spear, flicked the end of it, and the dragon soul that had been hiding in the spear shaft let out a long roar, abruptly stopping the unsealing action of the one-horned rhinoceros.
"The mark of the deceased is being recorded!"
"Low-level companion talent - Thick Leather Armor (does not occupy a talent slot): Passive talent, increases skin defense based on physical strength, can be improved with cultivation level."
The death of the One-Horned Rhino not only brings Radiant Core and Beast Blood, but also a unique talent—a companion talent that doesn't occupy a talent slot. Although the description is simple, it would definitely be a good idea to equip it in bulk.
"You scoundrel, I'm going to kill you!" Wan Jin was clearly enraged to the point of losing his mind. His side was either dead or wounded, and now there was no one left who could fight. You could imagine how furious he was.
"Kill me?" Jiang Yuan smiled wickedly, then shook his head and said, "Then you're probably going to be disappointed!"
"Wild Spirit—Summon!"
The massive, desolate spirit began to shrink, cracking as tiny cracks appeared in Jiang Yuan's muscles and bones—a condition that only occurred when his body was beyond its limits.
However, he did not stop shrinking the Wild Spirit; only by absorbing the Wild Spirit into his body could he defeat Wan Jin.
"So you're using a forbidden technique that drains your life force? You're nothing special after all!" Wan Jin sneered, and his attacks became increasingly frequent.
The hundred-meter stretch of water where they fought had fallen into a deathly silence. All the creatures in the water had been drained of their life force, and even the living Ghost Bass King had lost a significant amount of life force. All the life force that had disappeared was now concentrated in Jiang Yuan's body. If Wan Jin still couldn't see it by now, then he wouldn't need to be in the Holy Spirit circle.
"Killing you is enough!"
