Jiang Kai comprehended the eighth step of his Battle Across Eight Desolations!
The Limitless Guardian tore apart the Spirit Monkey Claws of the two enraged Monkey Kings, ripping open a gap through the overwhelming wall of claw marks.
"Life energy! Wrath of the Main God!" Jiang Kai locked onto the true body between the two Monkey Kings by distinguishing their life signatures, and at the same time, he hurled out the Yama Command!
The Yama Command pierced through the Monkey King's chest, and blood spurted madly.
However, the Monkey King was still tenacious. Even with almost all its stamina drained and its body pierced by the Yama Command, it still didn't die.
Jiang Kai's stamina was once again exhausted, and he had no choice but to use Deceptive Substitute, using two substitutes at once—one to hold off the Monkey King's clone and the other to absorb energy.
"Chasing Life!" Jiang Kai shot out the Chasing Life from his hand, attacking frantically!
Nearly a hundred strikes rained down like a storm, and under the wild, torrential assault, the Monkey King finally couldn't withstand it anymore. Its clone dissipated, and its enormous body tilted to one side and collapsed with a thunderous crash!
"Finally… won…" Jiang Kai gasped heavily as he watched the Monkey King fall.
This time, Jiang Kai had not only slain a King-level BOSS, but he did it while still in his peak fourth-tier state—without using the Demon-Slaying Sword or the Wheel of Fate!
"I was still too careless. If I hadn't comprehended the eighth step of Battle Across Eight Desolations, even with my strongest attributes, I might not have won."
Even now, Jiang Kai was very clear: though his attack power was high, correspondingly, a King-level BOSS also possessed the power to kill him.
High attributes only increased his margin for error.
Just now, in the fourth phase, even with over two hundred thousand agility, facing seamless attacks from the enemy, there was still nowhere to dodge.
However, this battle also let Jiang Kai truly feel the might of Battle Across Eight Desolations.
Inside the glass observation room, everyone stared wide-eyed at the scene unfolding in the training chamber.
"Jiang Kai won… He—he actually soloed a King-level BOSS!"
"In this battle, Jiang Kai's technique, reflexes, and mentality were nearly flawless! What's most unbelievable is that he comprehended the complete Battle Across Eight Desolations."
"Jiang Kai's version of Battle Across Eight Desolations seems different from the one that map BOSS used—probably the result of his own understanding…"
The War God whose legs had been severed gazed silently for a long time at the exhausted young man in the arena, before finally showing a faint, gratified smile.
"Jiang Kai still did it. I'm glad—our efforts weren't in vain. Old Xu, Old Li… I really wish you two could have witnessed this battle yourselves. This is the answer sheet Jiang Kai handed in to us…"
......
Standing before the gate of the War God Hall, Jiang Kai looked up at it and smiled slightly.
Actually, Jiang Kai didn't feel much resentment about being expelled from the Special Training Camp. After all, the results of cultivating in the Seven-Tier Pagoda were even more effective than training in the special hall.
Now, he had completed the task the seventeen instructors had once given him—there was no longer any knot in his heart.
After saying goodbye to the nine instructors, Xiao Fei, Ge Yunfei, and Zheng Xue, Jiang Kai was preparing to leave the headquarters of the War God Hall.
Luo Shen had personally escorted him to the door.
"Jiang Kai, you didn't give it your all just now," Luo Ping suddenly said. "Old Wei told me—you've already broken through to Super-Five. But what you showed just now was still your full power at the fourth-tier max level."
As expected, Luo Shen understood Jiang Kai well—he immediately saw through his little secret.
"Uh… Luo Shen, when the seniors taught me before, I was still at fourth-tier max…"
Tian Feng laughed heartily. "So, you didn't want to rely on your boosted stats to fool those seniors, huh?"
Jiang Kai scratched his head awkwardly and nodded.
"With your current stats, couldn't you easily kill a King-level BOSS?" Luo Ping asked.
Jiang Kai quickly denied it. "I couldn't handle a BOSS's attacks either! If I wasn't familiar with the Golden-Furred Spirit Monkey King, who knows who'd end up killing who."
"Besides, didn't they say that the new-region BOSSes will keep getting stronger? The Monkey King was an older one—the future King-levels will be even tougher."
Luo Ping nodded. "You're right. Right now, you merely have the ability to kill a King-level BOSS—but even then, you can't get careless. It's rare that you're still able to keep a clear head."
"But no matter what, you've done something no one else has!"
Jiang Kai grinned. "That's because my teachers taught me well."
"Hahaha! Jiang Kai actually knows how to flatter people now? I'll make sure to tell your instructors that!" Tian Feng laughed.
After a bout of joking, Luo Ping's expression turned serious. "By the way, since you've already reached Super-Five rank, when are you coming to report at the War God Hall?"
Jiang Kai frowned slightly. "Luo Shen, I still don't know whether I should go to the local division or to the Huaxia War God Hall."
"What's there to think about? Of course you should come to ours," Tian Feng said.
"Tian Shen, the thing is, all my friends are in Zone 18," Jiang Kai said awkwardly. "Actually, I already have great teamwork with Hu Yan, Ruan Yu, and Ouyang. How about you recruit them too?"
"Oh, right—you got the Super-Five materials for Drunkard, Feng Shui Master, and Executioner. That means their breakthroughs are only a matter of time… From what I see, Ruan Yu shouldn't have much problem, but Hu Yan's potential is still somewhat limited. As for Ouyang Yi—he doesn't yet qualify to join the Huaxia War God Hall. Right now, they're all still at the fourth tier. The key is, we don't yet know what their capabilities will be once they reach Super-Five." Tian Feng gave a detailed, straightforward explanation.
Luo Ping said, "Actually, whether it's the local division or the Huaxia War God Hall, they both belong to the War God system. You can choose whichever you prefer."
Jiang Kai nodded. That was true—if the Huaxia War God Hall wanted to mobilize anyone, it would just take a word. So, there really wasn't much difference.
"Anyway, it's up to you," Luo Ping said. "So, where are you heading next? Once you become a War God, you'll probably be going to the Beast God Battlefield, right?"
Jiang Kai thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to the First Zone's Kunlun Guild first."
"Kunlun? You—you're going there for what?"
"To… find someone…" Jiang Kai mumbled vaguely.
"To find someone, huh? That's fine. But let me warn you, don't go making trouble there—Kunlun isn't an ordinary guild," Luo Ping said.
Jiang Kai had heard similar warnings before, of course. He had no intention of causing trouble anyway.
"By the way, their guild's hosting some event recently—are you going there to participate?" Tian Feng suddenly asked.
"What event?" Jiang Kai looked confused.
"You don't know?"
"No, I'm just going to find someone."
"I see… Well, I'm not too sure either. Kunlun rarely makes their internal affairs public. Even though we've got good relations with a few of their elders, we don't really know what's going on inside."
"It's probably some kind of martial contest or something like that. Kunlun's people have a long heritage—they've brought a lot of their own traditions with them to Ghost Star."
Jiang Kai nodded thoughtfully. He wasn't sure if this was the right time to go looking for Chang Siyao.
But no matter what, this time Jiang Kai had to get a clear answer!
After parting ways with Luo Ping and Tian Feng, Jiang Kai headed straight for the First Zone.
"For the sake of my lifelong matter, I have to be brave just this once!" Jiang Kai kept psyching himself up.
