I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 189 Could it be that you two have already made a fait accompli?

After all the dust has settled.

In Hong Shen's courtyard, a pot of tea had just been brewed.

With a thought from Li Xueru, hot tea was automatically poured into the cup.

Just as the tea was prepared, footsteps could be heard.

Hong Jishi and Lin Zhenzi strode in.

Li Xueru asked softly, "Has the matter been resolved?"

Hong Jishi hummed in agreement and, without caring whether the tea was too hot, poured it directly into his mouth.

"Damn it, I didn't expect Blackfire to make a move too. We failed to capture the Succubus and Flame."

Lin Zhenzi was also in a bad mood: "If it weren't for the black fire, that guy Lieyan wouldn't have escaped." Li Xueru was puzzled: "Didn't the old man take action?"

Hong Jishi said in a deep voice, "The old man acted too early. As soon as he made his move, the succubus was frightened. He sacrificed his life to open the passage between the abyss and humanity, which attracted the help of the black fire."

Li Xueru understood: "What a pity."

Hong Jishi sighed: "It's a real pity. If it weren't in Hangzhou, I would have made him pay a bloody price."

In Hangzhou, these god-level professionals cannot possibly go all out.

If they launch a full-scale attack, the entire city could be destroyed.

It could even spread to other cities.

Therefore, neither Hung Kei-shek nor Lin Chin-tzu dared to act recklessly.

Li Xueru said, "Let them escape. They won't dare to act rashly again next time. We'll have another chance to fight our way into the abyss together."

Hong Jishi said in a deep voice, "This time we've finally gained something; at least Dou Sansi has been exposed."

Lin Zhenzi added, "Even Dou Sansi is under their control. We must be careful. We don't know if there are other people being manipulated. The succubus's abilities are indeed frightening."

Dou Sansi is already over level 80 and is one of the councilors of the Divine Dragon Empire, belonging to the high-level figures.

Even if he was being manipulated, it's even harder to guarantee the safety of others.

Li Xueru said, "I will conduct a thorough investigation into this issue. A large-scale purge is needed within the empire."

The three were discussing matters that would affect the entire empire in Hong Shen's courtyard.

Jiang Chen arrived at the entrance of the high-level competition venue.

The base was brightly lit, and many high-level professionals were discussing their combat experiences inside.

They were discussing the previous battle.

Jiang Chen saw Jiang Ruo standing at the door from afar. Jiang Ruo also saw him and waved to him.

"Sister, why are you waiting for me here?" Jiang Chen asked, puzzled.

Jiang Ruo chuckled: "I knew you'd come. Oh, this little sister is so pretty, is she my sister-in-law?"

Lin Cai'er blushed with embarrassment and couldn't say a word.

Jiang Ruojiao smiled and said, "It seems I guessed right. Little sister, don't worry. My little brother may not talk much, but he's a good person."

Lin Cai'er nodded: "Yes, I know."

"You know? Does that mean you've already... slept together?"

Suddenly, Lin Cai'er wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground; that wasn't what she meant at all.

Who would have thought that Jiang Chen, who doesn't like to talk, would have this kind of sister?

She had thought Jiang Ruo was also a quiet person. These are completely opposite extremes.

"Sister..." Jiang Chen desperately tried to signal her with his eyes to stop talking.

Jiang Ruo also responded with a look, indicating that she understood.

"Sis, are you participating in tomorrow's challenge?" Jiang Chen changed the subject.

Jiang Ruo shook her head: "I'm not participating. I was just about to tell you that I'm leaving."

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, but immediately understood what Jiang Ruo meant: "Another new mission?"

"It's not really a new mission, just running some dungeons and leveling up," Jiang Ruo said casually.

It's clear from her words that her teacher has very high standards for academic level.

It seems they've been urging Jiang Ruo to level up faster.

Although Hong Jishi also made him level up, he didn't push him this hard.

Jiang Chen asked, "Sis, what level are you now?"

Jiang Ruo chuckled and said, "You're almost 45, little brother. You need to work harder too, or I'll get too far ahead, that would be too embarrassing."

"You're a national champion, and you're only a three-star lieutenant."

"No matter how strong the profession itself is, level is the most important thing. You'll understand this when you reach the third job advancement."

"Anyway, I believe what my sister says, so I must level up quickly and not be lazy."

"Of course, having a girlfriend is also important. Hey little sister, what's your name? My brother is a bit slow; he doesn't even know how to introduce people."

Lin Cai'er was still blushing: "Sister, my name is Lin Cai'er."

"Lin Cai'er, a very good name. If this guy dares to bully you in the future, just tell me and I'll teach him a lesson." "Don't worry, I've beaten this guy since he was a kid, he won't dare to fight back."

The sound of waves crashing against the shore.

The light curtain has disappeared.

This time, the lower-level and higher-level competition venues have been connected and merged into one.

Today is the day of the challenge.

The challenge is also the last event of each professional tournament.

It's not a formal competition, but it's more attractive than the previous two.

This year's professional tournament is particularly special.

Due to the influence of the worship of demons, the singles competition was conducted in a different way.

The audience didn't get to enjoy the individual competitions; their attention was naturally focused on the challenge events.

This challenge is different from previous competitions.

Registration and competition are on the spot. There is no open selection process, and all professionals have a chance.

Jiang Chen looked at the specific rules of the challenge and thought of what Hong Jishi had said.

You must participate in the challenge, and the higher your score, the better.

Now that he understood the rules, he finally understood why Hung Kei-shek had made that request.

The prize is fantastic.

For players below level 40, a successful first round of challenges will reward them with a shimmering beginner skill scroll.

Successfully completing the second round of challenges will reward you with a shimmering intermediate skill scroll.

Successfully completing the third round of challenges will reward you with a bottle of intermediate-level magical potion.

Successfully completed the fourth challenge, and you will be rewarded with two shimmering intermediate skill scrolls.

The fifth round…

The rewards are excellent, far exceeding those for team and individual competitions.

Of course, it is also extremely difficult.

In just the first round, you need to challenge an opponent who is 5 levels higher than you.

For example, if Jiang Chen is currently level 27, then his first opponent will be a level 32 professional.

As for the opponent's class, it will be randomly selected from three classes: Knight, Mage, and Archer.

In the second round, it will surpass itself by 10 levels, and in the third round, it will be 15 levels.

If Jiang Chen makes it to the third round, he will face an opponent at level 42.

They are advanced professionals who have completed their second job advancement.

Historically, very few have been able to complete the second round of challenges.

Only a handful of people have ever managed to complete the third round of challenges.

As for who has completed the fourth round of challenges, no one has ever appeared.

The three-round challenge is the limit, and it has never been broken in hundreds of years.

Some professionals who are extremely confident in themselves are already eager to try.

One knight was the first to sign up and step onto the ring.

This is a professional from the United States.

His information appeared on the light screen in the arena.

"Hughes, Sword and Shield Knight, Level: 34."

The next second, his opponent, the defending champion, also appeared on the stage.

It's also a sword and shield knight, a level 39 sword and shield knight.

Jiang Chen sensed the other person's aura and murmured, "A soldier."

He could already sense a different aura emanating from the other person.
