Chapter 3012 - 3015: One Versus Five

Chapter 3012: Chapter 3015: One Versus Five

"Void Nether Academy really lives up to its name!"

"Even the combined camp of two super factions couldn’t beat a single person from the other side!"

"Wonder what the Saint Realm challenge is going to look like next!"

"Don’t tell me it’s going to be another complete sweep?"

The assessment challenge from the Canghai Alliance and Xiaoyao Valley, the Unity Realm Stage battle, had already ended, and the crowd around them couldn’t help exclaiming in shock.

Some of the Unity Realm fights had everyone’s hearts pounding, but still, no one managed to defeat the Void Nether Academy’s reserve students. At this moment, the Saint Realm battle had also begun, and everyone sharpened their eyes, waiting for the great fight to start.

"Unity Realm challenge is over, Saint Realm onto the stage."

Whoosh!

With Qiu Wenqing’s shout, five figures leapt onto the arena.

Seeing this, the crowd froze for a moment, staring in surprise at the five people who came up together.

"We greet Commander Jiang!"

The five on stage cupped their fists toward Jiang Chen in salute at the same time.

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback. His figure flashed as he jumped onto the arena, returned the salute with clasped fists, and looked at the five with some confusion.

"Commander Jiang, subordinate Qin Ming, commander of the Blood Wolf Army. These four are all from the legion as well!"

A young man cupped his fists toward Jiang Chen.

"Commander Qin, nice to meet you. I’ve heard some things about Xiaoyao Valley, and I deeply admire Xiaoyao Valley’s righteousness."

Jiang Chen nodded lightly.

Qin Ming smiled faintly, his eyes filled with anticipation as he said, "Commander Jiang, we really shouldn’t be challenging you. But your valor is renowned, and we were all selected into the Blood Wolf Army later, so we never had the chance to fight the enemy alongside you. We want to use this opportunity to experience Commander Jiang’s might. Please grant us this wish!"

"There’s no ’should’ or ’shouldn’t.’ Since this is a challenge assessment, you can challenge any one of our reserve members—of course, that includes me."

Jiang Chen spoke with a smile.

"Commander Jiang, we know that alone we’d probably be unable to withstand you. So... we boldly wish to fight five against one. We don’t know if Commander Jiang would be willing..."

Expectation flickered in Qin Ming’s eyes.

The other four also showed a trace of hope.

"Five against one?!"

"Damn, the five Saints from Xiaoyao Valley actually want to go five-on-one?"

"What are they thinking? No matter how famous Jiang Chen is, he’s just stepped into the Saint Realm!"

"This doesn’t follow the rules, does it?"

The people around all stared at the five of Qin Ming in astonishment, whispering among themselves.

"This..."

Si Wenkang and the others all turned to look at the Xiaoyao Valley Master, King Xiaoyao, a questioning look in their eyes.

"If this king’s strength weren’t so far below Commander Jiang’s, I would’ve already wanted to fight him myself, to experience the might of the invincible Commander Jiang."

King Xiaoyao didn’t explain directly, but what he said was explanation enough.

Si Wenkang and the others instantly understood his intent.

This was the soldiers’ collective reverence toward someone they worshipped!

If it were a one-on-one duel, in their hearts it would feel like a kind of desecration of Jiang Chen. Challenging Commander Jiang isn’t something a single person is qualified to do.

The fact that they were challenging him together as five already made them uneasy—not because they thought Jiang Chen would refuse, but because they felt it was a bit offensive. In their eyes, even an entire legion challenging Jiang Chen still wouldn’t match his prestige.

It’s not that they believed Jiang Chen’s strength was so overwhelming he could rival a whole legion, but that his prestige had risen to a level where they themselves felt unworthy to be matched against him!

"Alright."

Jiang Chen smiled faintly; he also understood what Qin Ming and the others meant, and nodded with a light chuckle.

"He agreed?!"

"Jiang Chen agreed?"

"Holy hell, he really intends to fight five same-realm experts all by himself!?"

"Isn’t that way too arrogant?"

"Void Nether Academy should declare this match void as far as the assessment is concerned, right?"

The people around all stared at Jiang Chen in shock, then turned in unison to look at Qiu Wenqing and the others.

But to everyone’s surprise, Qiu Wenqing and the rest didn’t show any reaction at all. They didn’t announce that this battle’s result would be excluded from the challenge assessment.

"Why aren’t they saying the result won’t count toward the assessment?"

Even Pang Guang was a bit perplexed. He turned toward Qiu Wenqing and the others, opening his mouth to remind them.

"Enough, fatty. Stop worrying about useless things."

Tang Jie patted Pang Guang’s shoulder, stopping him. "To beat Jiang Chen, how could five people be enough? You’d need at least fifty of the same realm."

"Huh?"

Pang Guang was dumbfounded, staring at Tang Jie in disbelief.

"Just watch."

Tang Jie didn’t explain further, merely curled his lip toward the arena.

Neither their group nor Qiu Wenqing and his group believed Jiang Chen would lose. This was the monster who had, with his own strength alone, slaughtered more than thirty same-realm prodigies. If he could be beaten by five people, he wouldn’t be Jiang Chen!

On the arena.

Seeing Jiang Chen accept, the five of Qin Ming were overjoyed. They cupped their fists together toward Jiang Chen and bowed in salute, then their expressions all turned solemn.

Jiang Chen returned the salute with clasped fists, his face calm as he looked at the five.

Buzz! Buzz buzz!

Waves of Blood Fiend Aura burst out from the arena. The five of Qin Ming didn’t unfold their Domains, instead their whole bodies spewed out blood-colored mist, which instantly gathered together above their heads.

Awooo!

A phantom Bloody Great Wolf appeared in midair, staring ferociously at Jiang Chen, revealing blood-colored fangs.

Jiang Chen paused for a moment, then chuckled and shook his head.

These guys clearly truly see themselves as part of the Blood Wolf Army!

Buzz!

Awooo!

Blood light erupted from Jiang Chen’s entire body. Majestic Blood Fiend Force surged upward, and in the blink of an eye, another Bloody Great Wolf appeared above the arena, almost solid!

In that instant, the entire arena was wrapped in a blood-reeking, chilling aura of slaughter. Several Below the Saint experts near the arena stepped back a few paces, and even some Saints had their faces go slightly pale, a look of shock flickering in their eyes.

"What a dense Blood Fiend Force!"

"How many people has this Jiang Chen killed...?"

"With such intense killing intent, if someone Below the Saint ran into it, they’d probably lose the will to fight on the spot!"

"So strong! He really is the invincible Commander Jiang of the battlefield. Just from this Blood Fiend Force alone, you can see how fierce he is on the front lines!"

The crowd discussed in amazement.

The five of Qin Ming had their eyes light up, deep respect showing in them.

They looked up at the almost solid blood wolf above Jiang Chen’s head, then at the phantom blood wolf the five of them had condensed. They knew that in this first round, before even trading blows, they had already lost.

Even though they clearly understood they’d already lost the first move, not one of them was discouraged. Instead, their battle intent burned even hotter.

"Kill!"

With a loud shout, the five charged at Jiang Chen together.

The phantom Bloody Great Wolf also lunged fiercely at the blood wolf above Jiang Chen’s head.

A staggering battle will slammed toward Jiang Chen, making him arch a brow in slight surprise.

The corner of his mouth curved slightly as Jiang Chen nodded to himself. As expected of elite soldiers who’ve always fought on the battlefield.

If it were ordinary Saints, the moment they came into contact with such overwhelming Aura of Blood Evil, they’d probably want to retreat. Yet these five still maintained such powerful fighting spirit.

These five were definitely fierce generals who charge at the front on the battlefield!
