"Thanks for carrying me, boss. But let's make a deal: can we spare your head?"
The Ninth Prince glanced at the numbers in the sky and expressed his gratitude.
He never dreamed that he would make it into the top four without doing anything.
This feeling of winning without lifting a finger is just so amazing!
He couldn't help but glance at the absent-minded Luo Qianyu beside him, and secretly resolved to persuade his sister when he got back.
I'm definitely going to be his brother-in-law!
Even angels couldn't stop him, that's what he said!
“Okay, Anna, get started.” Jiang Yan nodded; he could fulfill this small request.
"Yes, Holy Lord."
Analia turned around, her brows furrowed slightly. She vaguely sensed that this person harbored a huge "bad intention" and should be purified.
He immediately sheathed his longsword, and a blazing holy flame rose from his palm.
"go."
"Uh...maybe you should just cut off my head, no...ah!" In the Ninth Prince's terrified eyes, the raging holy flames completely engulfed him, burning him to ashes.
Huh, why is Anna so irritable today? Could it be...?
Jiang Yan shook his head in confusion, but did not stop him.
As long as she's happy, there's no need to let an outsider spoil her mood.
[A Tier 5 monster will be released in 15 minutes. Current release tier: 4.]
At this moment, the abyss passages expanded once more, and enormous monsters struggled to squeeze out.
The Mighty Demon, a lower-tier alternative to the Abyssal Terror Beast, possesses power approaching that of a Gold-tier 5th-order beast.
The expressions on their faces changed.
An epic-level earth dragon knight was turned into a bloody pulp with a single punch. Even an angel needed two consecutive holy light judgments to kill a giant demon.
Yaberlik had no choice but to reveal his hundred-meter-long body and take over.
"It's my turn."
Seeing this, Ye Mo stepped forward, took out a dagger, and was about to stab it into his heart.
Snap!
The dagger was knocked away, and Jiang Yan stopped him, saying, "What's your hurry? It's not your turn yet."
As he spoke, he turned to look at the absent-minded Luo Qianyu and said quickly, "It's your turn. Behave yourself."
"Ah, me?"
Coming to her senses, Luo Qianyu glanced at Jiang Yan, who was urging her on, and her eyes widened.
"Otherwise what?" Jiang Yan couldn't help but frown. What was wrong with this guy?
Not satisfied with just third place? Ye Mo is from the Federation, and also a classmate. Both publicly and privately, this second place is for him.
"you!"
Luo Qianyu couldn't help but grind her teeth. Did this guy have no sense of chivalry at all?
Real shrimp head!
However, seeing the six-winged angel eager to try it out, Luo Qianyu could only mutter helplessly, "Remember to unblock me!"
As she spoke, the staff in her hand flickered slightly, and a wisp of cold air appeared beneath her feet.
Soon, the ice crystals spread, and the girl in the pale yellow dress was frozen inside, like Sleeping Beauty in a fairy tale, losing all life.
The number in the sky also changed to 2.
"I won't thank you enough. I'll mail you the tradable rewards from the ranking later." Seeing this, Ye Mo raised his dagger again and plunged it into his heart.
This time, Jiang Yan did not stop him.
He had seen most of those basic high-level monsters in his previous life, so there was no need to deliberately drag it out for the sake of information.
Even if he could be resurrected during the trial, he didn't want to see the angel team wiped out.
As the number in the sky turned to 1, all the abyssal passages and monsters in the entire trial space instantly disappeared, and a series of notifications rang in my ears.
[The 14th Abyss Trial for Newcomers has concluded. Due to your outstanding performance, you have qualified to participate in the Celestial Trial. Would you like to participate?]
Please note that if you choose to participate, rewards will be calculated after all trials are completed.
"No," Jiang Yan said without hesitation.
Just kidding. The Tianyuan Group is a battlefield for god-level lords. The initial monsters are at least level five. Even with a demigod like Floria, they wouldn't last more than a few rounds. He doesn't want to go up there and become cannon fodder.
[You, being timid, declined further challenges; rewards will now be calculated.]
[Defeat the Abyss Monster* and obtain 120,000 Soul Crystals and 780,000 Experience.]
[Because you have brutally killed 61 lords, exceeding one-third of the total, you have unlocked the special title "Internal Strife Expert".]
[Survive to the end and receive 120 Survival Points and 1 Mythical Random Treasure Chest.]
[Because you achieved first place in the trial, the Abyss's hatred towards you has increased, the local area's trust in you has improved, and your luck has increased by a barely perceptible amount.]
Internal strife expert?
Jiang Yan looked at him with a strange expression.
Internal Strife Expert: Since ancient times, internal strife has been despised by everyone. When you wear this title, the targeted individual will immediately attack you.
It seems to be a rule-based ability. Jiang Yan seemed to be deep in thought.
He donned the title and set his sights on Shield One.
The next instant, the greatswordsman standing guard to the side changed his expression and swung his fine steel greatsword at Jiang Yan.
Bang!
The "Shield is the Man" technique took effect, and he struck his own shield, staggering and falling to the ground.
"Stop, Anna!"
A holy sword stopped at the greatsword's chest. Analia's expression was cold, and she asked with some doubt, "Holy Lord?"
"I'm sorry, my lord. I don't know why, but I just felt like I saw an enemy destroying our homeland, and I couldn't control myself and launched an attack. I..." Shield One hurriedly explained.
"It's alright, it's not your fault. I was just testing my new ability. I'm sorry I scared you." Jiang Yan apologized and helped the other person up.
He himself hadn't expected the effect to be so powerful; he just didn't know if it would work on the angels...
Since you won't really die in the trial space anyway, why not give it a try?
Jiang Yan's gaze drifted to Anna, and he selected his target.
[Ding! Skill activation failed. The opponent's faith and loyalty to you are infinite. This law's effect has been completely defeated and cannot take effect.]
Um?
Holy crap!
As expected of Anna!
Even the laws and techniques couldn't shake it in the slightest!
"Anna!" Jiang Yan's expression lit up with joy, and he couldn't help but praise, "You're amazing!"
"Huh?" Analia looked over in confusion, but immediately lowered her head, her cool face slightly flushed, curving into a beautiful arc, and she even forgot to flap her wings.
"Hey, why is Lady Anna blushing? Am I seeing things?" A huge dragon head squeezed in; it was Aberystwyth, who had just returned from the outer perimeter.
But it regretted it the next moment.
Enraged, the six-winged angel suddenly pulled out a holy book, and a golden six-pointed star appeared behind him.
—This is a sign that the great prophecy is about to begin.
"Master, help!" Yaberic quickly rolled over, curled his body into a ball, and hid behind Jiang Yan.
"I can't help you with that." Jiang Yan smiled, shrugged, and stepped aside.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Yaberic made a desperate move, whipping his tail and sending himself flying.
"What a useless dragon," Analia muttered, then dispelled the spell.
Seeing Jiang Yan's slightly smiling expression, she quickly changed the subject with a shifty look in her eyes: "Holy Lord, isn't there still a mythical treasure chest? Let's open it and take a look."
"Hmm, I'll try my luck first."
Jiang Yan silently closed his eyes, his hands seemingly traversing infinite space.
Suddenly, he grabbed with all his might and dragged out a skeleton covered in wounds.
[Ding! You have obtained 1 fragment of a demigod-level powerhouse's bones.]
"Huh, looks like I'm in luck."
This was the first time he had used his "divine hand" to touch the skeleton of a demigod.
He casually put the item back into his storage space and looked at the mythical random treasure chest with some anticipation.
"Activate".
As the blinding red light dissipated, a compass-shaped object appeared in the spot.
Jiang Yan's pupils suddenly contracted. How could it be this thing!
