Godslayer: After the Seraph rejected me, I ascended directly to the highest godhood.

"lovesickness."

After hearing what Baili Pangpang said, Jiang Ye immediately understood.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In the original story, Lin Qiye asked Baili Pangpang because he wanted to treat Bulaji.

"Yeah, Jiang Ye, ever since you left, Qi Ye has been lost in thought during his battle with Jia Lan, and now he's asking this again, it's definitely..."

“You’re overthinking it, he’s not,” Jiang Ye interrupted.

Baili Pangpang looked puzzled, hesitated for a long time, and finally said nothing more.

At the dinner table, An Qingyu and Cao Yuan exchanged a knowing glance.

Jialan had a dark expression on her face the whole time, as if someone owed her money.

Then Jiang Ye and Zhou Ping went into their respective rooms and put down what they were carrying.

When Jiang Ye came out again, Lin Qiye also came out of the room.

The two locked eyes and stood there stunned for several seconds.

"Um, you guys are back?" Lin Qiye was the first to speak.

Jiang Ye smiled and nodded.

"Have you eaten? If not, I'll cook you a bowl of noodles."

Jiang Ye thought for a moment. He and the Sword Saint hadn't eaten, so he said, "Two bowls, please. Senior Sword Saint hasn't eaten either, thank you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye remained silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Alright."

……

The next afternoon, on the training ground where waxing and polishing were being done.

Zhou Ping continued teaching.

"Seven Nights, I feel like Senior Sword Saint is a little different," Baili Pangpang whispered to Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye nodded slightly, "Yeah, I feel less socially anxious now, and I even smile from time to time, which I've never seen before."

"It should be said that this has been the case ever since Senior Sword Saint accompanied Jiang Ye to fight against the Phoenix Squad and returned," An Qingyu said, pushing up her glasses.

For a moment, all three of them looked at Jiang Ye in front of them.

Jiang Ye looked at the system panel and saw the progress bar: "[Nascent Soul Progress: 33%/100%]". He smiled with satisfaction.

Even if you grind slowly, you can still reach the maximum progress in the Divine Transformation stage before the God War arrives.

"Alright, time's up, let's begin class."

At this moment, Zhou Ping checked the time, put down his tools, and slowly walked to the front of the six people.

Lin Qiye couldn't help but ask, "Senior Sword Saint, shall we proceed according to the training plan?"

Zhou Ping shook his head. "Starting today, I will conduct 'mental strength' training for you."

“I didn’t want to use this originally, but Ye Fan asked you to break through to the Sea Realm in a short period of time, and the gap between you is too big.”

"We can only rely on some external forces."

gap!?

The group looked at each other in confusion, then their gazes finally settled on Jiang Ye.

Baili Pangpang raised his hand and asked, "Senior Sword Saint, what's the situation with the battle between Jiang Ye and the Phoenix Team?"

The others also looked on with curiosity.

After all, the fact that the Phoenix Squad fought Jiang Ye was enough to demonstrate Jiang Ye's strength.

But surely seven people against one Jiang Ye shouldn't lose...

"The Phoenix Squad lost and then ran away," Zhou Ping said slowly after thinking for a moment.

!! ?

After he finished speaking, the training ground fell completely silent.

Lin Qiye and the others' pupils widened slightly.

After a while, Baili Pangpang tentatively asked, "Is the Phoenix Squad going to have a 1v1 match with Brother Jiang Ye?"

Zhou Ping shook his head, "Seven against one, Jiang Ye's Divine Ruins, unleashed by fusing the Death God's essence, is too powerful."

hiss!

The group gasped in shock; that was the Phoenix Squad, and they had been defeated by Jiang Ye even with all of them fighting.

Wow... just how strong is Jiang Ye?!

Are we getting infinitely close to the ceiling of human potential?

Of the group, Jialan didn't know much about the Phoenix Squad's strength, but they sounded very powerful.

She glanced at Jiang Ye, her eyes still filled with resentment.

Lin Qiye sighed and turned his gaze to Zhou Ping. "Senior Sword Saint, let's begin."

Zhou Ping stretched out his hand, sword energy flowing at his fingertips. "In a moment, I will release half of my sword energy to create a tide of sword energy in the space."

He glanced at the six people and looked at Jiang Ye. "Jiang Ye, please excuse yourself."

Jiang Ye was taken aback at first, then stood up helplessly and walked to the side.

Baili Pangpang asked in confusion, "Senior Sword Saint, isn't Brother Jiang Ye training with us?"

"He's too strong. I'm afraid I won't be able to control him properly, and you might get hurt."

Baili Pangpang's lips twitched. Damn it, he'd fallen for it again.

Sigh! Is this the loneliness of being invincible?

Lin Qiye, An Qingyu, and Cao Yuan also accepted reality, their eyes showing determination.

"Come on, Sword Saint!"

……

At night, at Uncle San's Local Cuisine Restaurant.

After a busy day, Ye Fan took off her clothes and walked out of the local restaurant.

He took out his phone and checked the time.

"The Phoenix Squad's training of Jiang Ye should be over. Let's give them a call and ask."

Then, Ye Fan dialed Xia Simeng's satellite phone from the Phoenix Squad.

The call was answered shortly after.

"Hey Xia Simeng, how's it going with your training of Jiang Ye...?"

Ding! The call ended.

Ye Fan took the phone away from his ear and stared incredulously at the disconnected message on the screen.

This scene looks familiar. It seems like the Masked Man did the same thing last time.

Ha! You've been learning from each other, haven't you!

Ding Dong!

Just then, my phone received a text message notification from Xia Simeng of the Phoenix Squad.

"Commander Ye, during our battle with Jiang Ye, we were severely injured and are no longer able to continue our mission."

"Don't ask why. The answer is that Jiang Yeqiang is terrifying. He tortured us for two days, and now the entire Phoenix Squad is in the hospital receiving treatment."

"I hereby request leave to recuperate from my injuries, and respectfully request Commander Ye's approval!"

"Xia Simeng!"

Ye Fan: "..."

Ye Fan's lips twitched, and a sharp pain shot through his tooth.

So that's the reason you've come up with, right? Jiang Ye may have the strength of Klein at his peak, but you guys don't.

Was it seven people against one, and he was seriously injured?

Now they're treating me like an idiot just to get me to take leave, aren't they?

Ye Fan put down his phone, looked around at the deserted streets, and strode towards the military base.

There was nothing Zhou Ping could do; he didn't carry a cell phone to contact anyone.

An hour later, Ye Fan walked into the seemingly deserted military base.

Boom boom boom!

He gently knocked on Zhou Ping's door. The light in the window was flashing, indicating that Zhou Ping was still awake.

After a while, the door opened.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Ping asked in surprise.

Ye Fan walked in, found a seat at random, and got straight to the point: "I've come to ask about the Phoenix Squad's training of Jiang Ye."

Zhou Ping frowned slightly. "Didn't the Phoenix Squad tell you?"

Ye Fan's face turned ashen when he thought of Xia Simeng's leave request, and he shook his head at Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping didn't really know how to describe Jiang Ye's victory over the Phoenix Squad in two minutes.

After thinking for a while, he finally spoke, "The Phoenix Squad is no match for Jiang Ye..."

Zhou Ping recounted the scene to Ye Fan in broken language, but left out the part about going out with Jiang Ye.

A few minutes later, Ye Fan walked out of Zhou Ping's room, looked in the direction of the warehouse, and showed a gratified smile.

He picked up his phone and replied to Xia Simeng's leave request text message from the Phoenix Squad.

"approve!"
