The seemingly ordinary spear now had a strange connection with Jiang Yuan. Although his divine energy was exhausted, the upper limit of his divine energy had increased.
Although the hundred-pound spear only possessed a little divine power, its material was incredibly hard. The weapon in Dongfang Jie's hand was of the seventh rank, and in theory, it should have unleashed tremendous power in the hands of a sixth-rank Dongfang Jie. However, in reality, when it encountered Jiang Yuan's spear, the chain scythe was not as powerful as imagined.
"This weapon just can't provide any attribute bonuses, but everything else, whether it's hardness or toughness, is at the ninth rank!" Jiang Yuan understood the characteristics of this ninth-rank spear after using it a few times.
"Surround him!"
Dongfang Jie wasn't a fool; none of the other powerful members of the families joined the fight, leaving him to fight Jiang Yuan alone.
To be the ultimate victor, it is essential to preserve your strength.
The battle situation developed in the same pattern as before, but it didn't make much difference to Jiang Yuan. Fighting one or a group was the same, so he might as well deal with the trouble as soon as possible.
"Notification: Your comprehension of the divine power of this exclusive cultivation technique is increasing!"
This time, the Heavenly Eye's prompt did not distinguish between the three specific power systems; instead, it directly changed to divine power.
The reason is obvious: once a cultivation technique becomes god-level, even a single power-based technique can be called divine power. Jiang Yuan was simply ahead of everyone else.
"Click-click-click!"
Jiang Yuan heard a continuous tearing sound in his mind, and in severe cases, the muscles broke off completely.
"The unlocking rate of the flesh shackles has increased!"
The nine shackles of ancient martial arts practitioners also have a range of values. The difference between someone who has just begun to open the Blood Shackles and someone who has been open the Blood Shackles for ten years is enormous, which involves the comprehensiveness of the shackles.
Each shackle represents the potential of human power, and potential is limitless. Logically speaking, the nine shackles are an existence that can never be fully opened, but there are always people who constantly challenge the limits and try to open higher levels of shackles.
Generally speaking, once half of the shackles are broken, the potential treasure is unlocked. The remaining half can only be explored slowly over an endless period of time. Some people even stop exploring the rest after breaking through half, which is an unwritten practice among ancient martial artists.
Judging the strength of an ancient martial arts practitioner is always just a matter of how many shackles they have broken free from!
With the increased activation of the flesh shackles, Jiang Yuan could feel a slight increase in his ancient martial arts power, but this boost was negligible for him at the moment. His current fighting style relied entirely on his unwavering belief.
The ninety-eighth mark of the dead was put away, and only one rose remained in Jiang Yuan's storage ring.
"Is this the last one?" Jiang Yuan gazed at the vibrant rose in his hand, bent down, and planted it in the blood-stained soil. A smile played on his lips as he said, "May death bless you!"
The roses seemed to have acquired a special charm, while Jiang Yuan had already turned around and was wreaking havoc.
Jiang Yuan didn't touch the hundredth mark of the dead. Even if he had a rudimentary talent, it would be useless now. Divine power was useless, so what was the point of having a talent!
Although his three talents are not at a high level at present, they are extremely well-matched, with defense, control, and underhanded tactics all included.
Petrification is a low-level talent with limited growth potential. Once you pass the seventh or eighth level of petrification, its drawbacks begin to appear, as the hardness of the petrified material cannot keep up with the advancement of your cultivation level.
The Chain of Order is an intermediate-level talent; while it lacks offensive power, it is quite versatile.
As for the Soul Splitter Needle, it is a basic talent, just like Petrification. However, soul energy talents are relatively rare, and it always has a surprising effect when used.
By now, many people have come to terms with reality. The only technique is no longer available to the weak like them. Apart from a few who were ordered to fight by Jiang Yuan, the others immediately retreated as soon as they were injured, no longer joining this meaningless battle.
Jiang Yuan also showed no mercy, his powerful and heavy spear attacks aimed straight for vital points, so many people died under Jiang Yuan's spear before they even had a chance to be injured.
Everyone watching was amazed by Jiang Yuan's perseverance. No one could imagine that one person could fight for so long; it was simply unbelievable.
With thousands of people surrounding them, even a ninth-tier monster has been captured, but Jiang Yuan, this ordinary man, has managed to withstand it.
The fierce battle had shattered Jiang Yuan's clothes, leaving his petrified body riddled with holes, and even his face was covered in blood. Only his eyes, filled with an unwillingness to accept defeat, shone with a chilling light.
"Uncle Li, why don't we go help him? Jiang Yuan is a good man!" Xiang Yeyun couldn't bear to watch any longer and pleaded with Li Tiegen from the side.
None of the men uttered a word. Helping at this moment would only invite the wrath of the crowd, something that not only they, but the entire camp, could not withstand.
Li Tiegen sighed and looked at Ji Xing'an, "Patriarch Ji, are you also planning to stand by and watch?"
"This is the southern part of the city; we outsiders can't help you here!" Ji Xing'an tactfully expressed his helplessness.
"Let's keep watching!" Li Tiegen patted Xiang Yeyun on the shoulder, signaling him not to mention helping anymore.
"Ye Yun, our camp was set up to protect the safety of Nancheng! We can't help Jiang Yuan with his affairs!" Qian Kai quickly reassured him.
"The people from the Northern City Alliance, go back!" the woman in casual clothes said.
"Vice Alliance Leader, aren't we going to rob the unique cultivation technique?"
Some members of the Northern City Alliance raised questions.
"No!" The woman turned to look at Jiang Yuan, and murmured in a voice only she could hear, "How could one of the Noahs chosen by the Sage die so easily! If he does die, then it's not something we can obtain!"
The Northern Alliance became the first and only team to leave before the ownership of their cultivation technique was even determined.
Night was approaching, and the battle was drawing to a close. This battle could be said to have lasted from day to night.
At this moment on the battlefield, five people surrounded Jiang Yuan, while at least 170 corpses lay nearby, and those who were not dead dared not approach.
Dongfang Jie! A sixth-tier dual-evolver, with spiritual energy at 70, soul energy at 70, and advanced talent: dual-element stacking.
Zuo Tianhe! Sixth-tier Strength type, Strength: 102, Intermediate Talent: Flame Body.
Fucha Kangu! Sixth-tier psionic type, psionic energy: 80, primary talent: Cross Slash.
Xie Hui! Sixth-order Strength System (Sixth-order Earth Vein), Strength: 65.
The last one is his old rival, Lu Xingyu!
Human (a genetically modified super soldier), seventh-tier strength type, strength energy: 128.
"Kid, you held me back before so I didn't want to fight you, but now you won't have that chance!" Lu Xingyu stepped forward and sneered.
Lu Xingyu's strength is among the top in the group, but he is a genetically modified warrior, so his power is not so pure.
"Is it just the five of you?" Jiang Yuan asked calmly. After fighting this far, the enemy was just a number to him. Five more or one more wouldn't make much difference.
"Hand over your only technique, and you'll be out of the running for the rest of the competition!" Xie Hui, who had the lowest strength, reminded him, his tone tinged with a hint of guilt.
"Ridiculous!" Jiang Yuan gripped the spear tightly, blood leaving messy, irregular streaks on it.
"If you want the unique cultivation technique, then kill me and take it!"
