High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System - Chapter 523 - 319: Betting Everything on an Uncertain Future

Chapter 523: Chapter 319: Betting Everything on an Uncertain Future

“This ancestor of the Chen Family is probably a demigod,” Jiang Ye thought to himself.

As the ancestor of an extraordinary family, he must have already reached that height.

“In fact,”

“Only by becoming a demigod can one stabilize the status of an extraordinary family,” Chen Jiuxuan sighed. “But even becoming a demigod is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.”

“In our Chen Family, several have reached the peak of nine breaks, but none of them have any hope of breaking through to demigod.”

“To become a demigod, one must reach the peak of nine breaks before the age of two hundred,” Chen Jiuxuan sighed. “Otherwise, longevity alone will become the biggest hurdle.”

Jiang Ye understood the ancestor’s meaning.

Before ascending to divinity, human life is extremely short.

Even at the peak of nine breaks, one only has a lifespan of three hundred years.

Longevity is limited by the rules of the universe; breaking life shackles again and again does little to increase it.

Only by becoming a god can one break this shackle.

“Elder,”

“Is the probability of becoming a demigod higher with extraordinary talent?” Jiang Ye asked.

“That’s correct,” Chen Jiuxuan nodded, “the difficulty of breaking through the peak of nine breaks is much lower for extraordinary talent than for the Tao Bone.”

“They are also more likely to reach the peak of nine breaks before the age of two hundred.”

“Of course, this is not absolute,” Chen Jiuxuan said. “Most of the few at the peak of nine breaks in our Chen Family possess extraordinary talent, yet they have not achieved it either.”

“Even extraordinary talents might not succeed,” Jiang Ye sighed. “Then the Tao Bone, wouldn’t it be even harder?”

“It’s not just hard.”

“In the history of the Blue Star civilization, there has never been an example of someone with Tao Bone talent becoming a demigod,” Chen Jiuxuan shook his head.

Jiang Ye understood completely.

No wonder Blue Star civilization places such importance on extraordinary talent.

The reason lies in becoming a demigod!

The Chen Family hasn’t seen an extraordinary talent in nearly two hundred years. This means that once Chen Jiuxuan’s time is up, the Chen Family will completely lose its top combat power.

“I will definitely become a demigod,” Chen Zilu suddenly said softly.

Her voice was incredibly firm.

“I believe in you,” Chen Jiuxuan smiled, “you are indeed the most likely person in the Chen Family in nearly a hundred years to become a demigod.”

“Barely over twenty years old, yet already at the fifth break.”

“However, the road ahead will be difficult,” Chen Jiuxuan looked at her. “After reaching the seventh break, even a small breakthrough in realm will take several years; you must be prepared.”

“I understand,” Chen Zilu nodded.

“As for you,” Chen Jiuxuan looked at Jiang Ye and continued, “I have seen many miracles in you… This is also why I chose you.”

“Compared to Zhou Xingkong of the Zhou Family, I am more optimistic about you,” Chen Jiuxuan said.

“This junior will not disappoint the elder,” Jiang Ye solemnly cupped his hands.

Become a demigod?

His goal has never been limited to that.

But meals are eaten bite by bite, and roads are walked step by step. Since the other party has already spoken to this extent,

Jiang Ye simply set a goal for himself.

“Within three years, become a demigod!” Jiang Ye thought to himself.

Whether in the upcoming Star Wars or the future Civilization Struggle, they are all great opportunities for Jiang Ye.

He will certainly give it his all.

“Take these Blood Jade Divine Crystals,” Chen Jiuxuan said.

“Thank you, elder,” Jiang Ye immediately accepted the many treasures.

“I suggest you use these Blood Jade Divine Crystals during the seventh or even eighth break,” Chen Jiuxuan reminded, “Using them too early will affect your subsequent breakthroughs.”

“Understood,” Jiang Ye nodded.

All treasures have resistance.

Heaven and Earth Divine Objects are no different; the more you use the same Divine Object, the weaker the effect.

“Alright.”

“You may go back; the banquet is about to start,” Chen Jiuxuan said. “I will come later.”

“Yes,” Jiang Ye and Chen Zilu responded in unison.

The two walked out of the office side by side.

After they left.

Chen Jiuxuan sat in place and let out a gentle breath.

“I don’t know if this decision is right or wrong,” he looked out the window, a hint of contemplation in his clouded eyes.

Why choose Jiang Ye?

It’s not just because of Jiang Ye’s talent, but also because he cannot fully trust the Zhou Family.

Chen Jiuxuan knew well that if he entrusted the family’s future to another extraordinary family, he might receive brief protection.

But over time, as friendships fade, the Chen Family would inevitably become fish and meat for others to bully.

“The Zhou Family cannot be trusted,” Chen Jiuxuan shook his head slightly.

His thoughts, so experienced, had long realized the Zhou Family’s impure intentions.

As for Jiang Ye.

Although now still very weak, no one can decide his future.

“Jiang Ye?”

“From the moment he entered Penglai University, I have been observing him in secret,” Chen Jiuxuan mused. “From the first break to the fourth break, it only took him a year.”

“This kid also harbors a big secret.”

As an ancestor of the Chen Family, Chen Jiuxuan naturally paid close attention to the next generation heir.

So, he was well aware of Chen Zilu’s feelings for Jiang Ye.

In the beginning.

Chen Jiuxuan completely disapproved of this relationship.

But as Jiang Ye’s talent unfolded, Chen Jiuxuan gradually changed his mind.

However, he always hesitated to make a decision… If he truly chose Jiang Ye, it would inevitably offend the Zhou Family.

But with time running out, he no longer has the luxury of hesitation.

A choice must be made!

Chen Jiuxuan ultimately chose Jiang Ye.

…

“If Jiang Ye can reach the peak of nine breaks, my investment today will not have been in vain,” Chen Jiuxuan thought to himself. “If he can go further and become a demigod, it would be quite a fortune.”

He knew clearly that this probability was very small.

Jiang Ye only possesses original talent, reaching four breaks is already a miracle.

Peak of Nine Breaks? Almost impossible.

Not to mention becoming a demigod.

“Risking everything to fight for an uncertain future.”
