High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System

Chapter 977 - 452: Annihilating the Chu Family! (Double-Length)

Whoosh!

Between heaven and earth, a streak of Flowing Light swept past, flying toward that resplendent cluster of golden palaces.

It was Jiang Ye and Chi Jiuxin.

”Ye Jiang.”

”You don’t need to be too anxious.” Chi Jiuxin looked at Jiang Ye and consoled him, ”The Venerables will definitely find a way.”

”Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.” Jiang Ye shook his head.

”Mm.” Chi Jiuxin gave a slight nod and stopped trying to persuade him.

She took out a bracelet and said, ”This records Fellow Daoist’s identity information.”

Jiang Ye accepted the bracelet and swept it with his Divine Thought.

[Name: Ye Jiang]

[Huanglong Merit: 10,000,000]

”Ten million Huanglong Merit points?” Jiang Ye showed a look of surprise.

”I mentioned it before.”

”Those Civilization Opportunities you gifted me, all the credit will be recorded under Fellow Daoist’s name.” Chi Jiuxin said with a bright smile, ”These Huanglong Merit points are your achievements.”

”You were very thoughtful.” Jiang Ye gave a slight nod.

He had said before that those Opportunities were gifts to the Huanglong Civilization.

These Huanglong Merit points were essentially given to him for free.

”Don’t be fooled by how big ten million sounds.”

”For Demigods like you and me, it actually doesn’t last long.” Chi Jiuxin sighed, ”For example, a single Demigod Level Law Fruit, even if it’s only Second Tier, costs over ten million Merit points.”

Jiang Ye was momentarily speechless.

He knew this wasn’t strange; Law treasures were extremely rare to begin with, let alone Demigod Level Law Fruits—some Gods relied on them for Cultivation and comprehension of Laws.

”After reaching Demigod...”

”If you don’t have special Opportunities, your progress becomes extremely slow.” Jiang Ye understood this well: ”A single secluded Cultivation can easily last dozens of years.”

Thinking of this, Jiang Ye immediately realized how important Huanglong Merit was.

Only by having enough Huanglong Merit could he ensure his Cultivation speed!

”Fellow Daoist.”

”Where does one obtain Huanglong Merit?” Jiang Ye asked in confusion.

”There are many ways to obtain it.” Chi Jiuxin said, ”But I assume Fellow Daoist wants to gain a large amount quickly?”

”Right.” Jiang Ye nodded.

”To earn a great deal of Merit, you need to make a tremendous contribution to the Huanglong Civilization.” Chi Jiuxin said, ”Like the previous Star Domain Battlefield and Civilization Struggle—it was like that.”

”But those are all over now.”

”The closest opportunity for us is the Hundred-Star Divine War.” Chi Jiuxin smiled, ”The Merit you can get from the Hundred-Star Divine War is far more than from the Civilization Struggle—easily in the hundreds of millions, even tens of billions.”

”That much?!” Jiang Ye’s eyes widened.

You had to know, he had brought two Life Meteorites to the Huanglong Civilization, and in total he’d only received ten million Merit.

How could the Hundred-Star Divine War possibly yield tens of billions of Merit?

”Don’t be surprised.”

”There were too many participants in the Civilization Struggle. Not counting the subsidiary civilizations, just on the Huanglong Civilization’s main star there were several tens of millions of people taking part.” Chi Jiuxin said, ”So when the Huanglong Merit was divided up, each person’s share was small.”

”But the Hundred-Star Divine War is different.”

”Only Powerhouses at Demigod and above can participate in the Hundred-Star Divine War.”

”Across the entire Huanglong Civilization, including all the subsidiary civilizations big and small, there are only a bit over ten thousand participants in total.” Chi Jiuxin smiled, ”That way, the share of Merit each person gets is much larger.”

Jiang Ye suddenly understood.

This Huanglong Merit clearly had a special distribution mechanism.

In other words, each time Merit was allocated, the total amount was fixed; the more people who shared it, the less each individual received.

After all, Huanglong Merit couldn’t be issued without limit.

Even as a Second Tier civilization, the Huanglong Civilization couldn’t bear that level of expenditure.

”Oh, right.”

”The Hundred-Star Divine War also comes with the most precious opportunity of all.” Chi Jiuxin lowered her voice, ”Talent promotion!”

”Promotion to Heaven’s Chosen Talent?” Jiang Ye’s expression shifted.

”Exactly.” A strong longing flashed in Chi Jiuxin’s beautiful eyes: ”The Hundred-Star Divine War opens only once every five hundred years, and each time it opens there are fifty promotion slots.”

”It’s usually held in the form of a competition.”

”Only those geniuses who reach the top fifty can obtain the Talent treasure.” Chi Jiuxin said, ”Of course, the higher your ranking, the greater your chance of promotion.”

Jiang Ye listened quietly.

When he heard the word ”competition,” a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.

”A competition?”

”Doesn’t that mean the system can use it to condense the Power of the World?” Jiang Ye’s heart stirred slightly.

In reality, promoting Talent carried a chance of failure.

For the Hundred-Star Divine War, those so-called fifty promotion slots might in the end yield only two or three successful promotions.

But Jiang Ye was different.

As long as he made a name for himself through the competition, he would definitely promote his Talent!

”Fellow Daoist.”

”What reward is there for taking first place in the Hundred-Star Divine War?” Jiang Ye asked curiously.

”First place? I’m not sure.” Chi Jiuxin shook her head instead: ”But I’ve heard that the top three can obtain a chance to go study in a Third Tier civilization...”

As she spoke.

The two of them had already reached the southeast corner of the palace complex.

This palace cluster was incomparably vast, spanning tens of thousands of li; you couldn’t see the end of it at a glance.

”This is our Crimson Divine Race’s territory.” Chi Jiuxin said with a smile, ”Fellow Daoist, you’ll be living over there from now on.”

She pointed at a magnificent golden-red hall: ”That hall is called ’Bright Heart Hall.’ It’s a dedicated palace, usually only Powerhouses at Tier Three Demigod and above can live there.”

”I’ll be in your care, Fellow Daoist.” Jiang Ye didn’t refuse.

The other party was clearly representing the Crimson Divine Race in extending goodwill toward him.

If he refused, it would instead make him seem discourteous.

”If anything comes up, you can contact me through the bracelet. I’ll come whenever you call.” Chi Jiuxin blinked her beautiful eyes.

”Alright.” Jiang Ye said.

...

Watching Chi Jiuxin turn and leave, Jiang Ye rose into the air and flew toward Bright Heart Hall.
