Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 1896: Chapter 1899: I’m Joining Too

”At the peak of the Venerable Realm... perhaps it’s best not to enter?”

Elder Long hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly.

”Elder Long, don’t be too protective!”

Jiang Chen shook his head gently: ”I know what you mean, Elder. The people from the Void Nether Realm are all in the early Saint Realm. If we send people at the peak of the Venerable Realm, they could easily be killed.”

”However, if there’s no combat experience at all, just blindly cultivating to the early Saint Realm, do you think their combat power can match the people of the Void Nether Realm?”

”In the Void Nether Realm, Saint Realm experts are nothing significant, but here? If it weren’t for the spiritual energy resurgence in the past two years, they would be top-tier experts!”

”How many of our Saint Realm Martial Artists in Yuan Star have never participated in real combat? Do you think today’s battle counted as a real confrontation between early Saint Realm practitioners?”

Elder Long was taken aback and fell silent.

”Battle experience is where we are most lacking compared to the people of the Void Nether Realm, so we cannot only focus on cultivation.”

Jiang Chen said solemnly: ”From today’s battle, everyone should see that. Not to mention others, just talk about the eight Divine Infant seniors. You, at the Divine Infant Realm, couldn’t even achieve a one-hit kill against people in the Divine Spirit Realm. Do you think that’s normal?”

”Think of when you were at the beginning of the Innate Grandmaster level fighting Semi Innate opponents, or when you were in the Venerable Realm fighting Semi Venerables. Would situations like today’s arise, where you chased your opponents for a long time but had a pitifully low kill count?”

”Jiang Chen, isn’t this right? The news reported that we killed over a thousand people, didn’t it?” Ye Jingyi asked in surprise.

Long Tianze and the others blushed, all glaring at Elder Long.

Elder Long smiled awkwardly.

”Jing Yi, don’t you know the nature of the news? How much is exaggerated in such reports? We did kill over a thousand, but most of those we killed were basically defenseless Divine Souls!”

”This wasn’t a real fight at all; it was simply a massacre. Yet, even in the massacre, we didn’t do it right. There were over ten thousand Divine Souls on the other side, and with so many of us, we only killed over a thousand. It’s like a bandit with a machine gun shooting at a hundred puppy cubs and only hitting ten. Don’t you think that’s a joke?”

Jiang Chen frowned and spoke.

Ye Jingyi was startled, then turned to glance at Elder Long and fell silent.

”Elder Long, I know you want to boost morale, but such untruthful news should not appear again; it will make our Martial Artists who didn’t participate grow arrogant!”

”Once they advance to the peak of the Venerable Realm and enter the battlefield, they will suddenly discover that the people of the Void Nether Realm cannot be easily slapped away but can kill us with some effort!”

Jiang Chen turned to Elder Long, his expression solemn:

”How many lives do you think we need to sacrifice before everyone realizes the gap between our Martial Artists and those of the Void Nether Realm in the same realm? Their Saint Realm experts fight with real skill, like our Innate, even Semi Innate and Heavenly Peak Martial Artists!”

Elder Long nodded with a face of shame, the others showing agreement in their eyes.

”In this case, we should not only give peak Venerable and early Saint Realm Martial Artists practical combat opportunities, but other realms should also have increased practical combat exposure.”

Ye Jingyi softly suggested: ”Jiang Chen, how about this? We hold a worldwide competition across various realms, allowing everyone to participate, with people from all realms engaging in combat.”

”Moreover, no one gets eliminated in one match. Let everyone fight multiple battles, with the victors fighting more. The more excellent they are, the more battles they fight, until the top hundred are determined. Once the top hundred are ranked, let the lower realm’s top hundred challenge the first batch of eliminated higher realm participants. If anyone from the lower realm wins, let them challenge the higher realm’s top hundred members.”

”In this way, not only can those in lower realms get familiar with higher realm strength, but it also prevents them from growing too arrogant and gives those with weaker strength in higher realms a sense of urgency.”

”After all, no one wants to be defeated by someone from a lower realm; that would be utterly humiliating!”

The crowd was momentarily stunned and then had their eyes light up.

”A ranking competition?!”

Jiang Chen exclaimed with joy: ”This is a great idea! Let’s do it, and let all Martial Artists join in, from the Yellow Level to the Divine Infant Realm. Everyone participates!”

”Divine... Divine Infant Realm? We have to fight too?”

Long Tianze asked in surprise, looking around at You Xuan, A’erfa, and the five elders with the surname Wei.

”Of course, you have to fight! Don’t you want to know who’s stronger among you?” Jiang Chen smiled mischievously.

Long Tianze and the others were taken aback, exchanged a glance, and their eyes showed a trace of fighting spirit.

Since ancient times, there’s no first in literature, no second in martial arts!

As long as one is a Martial Artist, there’s always a desire to compete with peers of the same realm!

”Jiang Chen, since I suggested this idea, I have one request!”

Ye Jingyi stared at Jiang Chen intently.

Jiang Chen chuckled and said: ”Jing Yi, just say it. When have I ever refused your requests?”

”Lin Lin, Yu Wan, and I also want to participate in the competition, and we’ll wear masks, so our opponents won’t know it’s us!”

Ye Jingyi said seriously.

Long Tianze and the others were stunned, looking at Ye Jingyi full of confusion.

Jiang Chen paused, then immediately understood, gently stroking Ye Jingyi’s hair: ”Jing Yi, why go to such lengths?”

”Even if we can’t match your power and realm, we still want to make an effort to catch up. Even if we can’t fight in the same realm battlefield as you, we want to fight alongside you on the same battlefield!”

Ye Jingyi said with deep emotion.

Long Tianze and the others understood immediately, moved by the deep feelings of Ye Jingyi and her friends.

Even though Gong Lin and Yè Yùwǎn went to Dan Island and weren’t here, they believed those two shared the same thoughts as Ye Jingyi.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, with mixed emotions, looking at Ye Jingyi’s eyes, full of affection and pleading. He wanted to refuse but couldn’t, opening and closing his mouth several times.

Finally, Jiang Chen nodded heavily, saying with regret: ”I can agree to your request, but you must promise me not to get hurt. If you get hurt in the competition, I’ll personally thrash the scoundrel who hurt you. If you’re injured on the battlefield, I’ll charge at the opposition and kill a thousand of them to repay you!”

Ye Jingyi smiled gently and nodded firmly.

”In that case, I’ll participate too!”

Changing his tone, Jiang Chen said with a light smile.

At those words, everyone was stunned!
