"What?!!!"
Zhao Ruo practically leaped up, her voice cracking.
A treasure that could allow a high-level war god to break through and surpass the war god level?
This thing? It was simply priceless! Considering how few beings surpassed the war god level in the entire world!
"Hoo!"
"Jiang Li, since you know about the Spirit of the Trees, I won't need to explain further."
At this moment, Shi Jiang hung up Liu Zheng's call, turned to Jiang Li, and took a deep breath. "Some of the trainees have already contacted their respective forces. I believe that people from various factions will be sent here soon."
"By then, the Spirit of the Trees will be out of our reach!"
"Senior Brother Chu Qiang's meaning is that if we Hanxia trainees work together and manage to obtain some Spirit of the Trees, we can each get a share according to the training camp's distribution system. If the quantity is large…"
"Maybe we can get one!"
Shi Jiang's eyes were filled with intense desire.
Although his strength could consistently place him in the top ten of the Elite Training Camp, breaking through to become a War God was still a long shot.
At the same time.
He also knew that even Chu Qiang, with his stable top-three ranking in the Elite Training Camp, had to team up with others. Obtaining the Spirit of the Trees would be no easy feat.
"Let's collect the materials first, and don't forget the money."
Jiang Li nodded.
"Lemart and Simon were both stronger than me, and they died. Going with you would only hold you back!"
At this moment, Zhao Ruo spoke, "I won't go with you!"
She knew her own limitations. Tagging along for some monster kills was one thing, but the Spirit of the Trees was too valuable. Even if Jiang Li and Shi Jiang were willing to take her, the others would definitely object.
After all, what right did she have to a share without any strength?
"This..."
Shi Jiang hesitated for a moment, his gaze turning to Jiang Li.
"What are you thinking?"
Jiang Li smiled faintly, "The three of us are a team."
"Jiang Li, I know you mean well."
Zhao Ruo expressed her gratitude, but then said, "But I..."
"Zhao Ruo."
Shi Jiang interrupted, "Stop being so wishy-washy. We'll just charge in together!"
Zhao Ruo's understanding of the top-ranked students' abilities was far less than Shi Jiang's.
Shi Jiang knew very well that with Jiang Li's mental control, even Chu Qiang, who was in the top three, probably wouldn't last more than a few rounds!
Afterward, Shi Jiang and Zhao Ruo quickly dissected the materials.
Jiang Li compared the coordinates sent by Liu Zheng; the location was near Mist Island, further confirming his thoughts.
Soon, the trio quickly headed towards Mist Island.
On the other side.
In the Europa Region, Paris Base City.
Inside a spacious hall with a pointed roof, the black marble floor held five intricately carved black chairs.
At this moment.
Four old men and one old woman occupied those five seats.
They were the true core of power within the Polenas Family!
"Candice is a good child. He informed the family as soon as he discovered the Spirit of the Trees!"
The silver-haired old man sitting in the main seat smiled, "Note his contribution."
"I heard that Jiang Li is also on the Australian Continent. How should we handle it if we encounter him?"
Another elderly lady with golden hair, leaning on a gold-plated cane, had a hint of coldness in her wrinkled face.
Vinena was a descendant of her lineage.
"I believe our Cartlan will handle it well!"
The silver-haired elder at the head suddenly brightened his hazy eyes: "They're here!"
At this moment.
A mysterious man in a black robe and hat slowly walked into the hall. On either side of him were a burly man with a greatsword and shield, and a lean man with two knives at his waist.
As soon as the three appeared, the entire hall felt a strange sense of pressure.
The black-robed man at the head slowly raised his eyes, his gaze profound and bottomless, as if penetrating endless darkness.
At this moment.
Even the five core elders of the Polenas Family rose simultaneously to greet the three powerhouses.
"Cartlan, my Polenas Family's most outstanding child…"
The elder who controlled the entire Polenas Family's power looked at the black-robed man with a kind expression and, in a tone of entreaty, said, "This time, we can only ask you to personally take action!"
"Uncle, upon receiving your message, I immediately brought along my two friends!"
The leading black-robed man bowed slightly, "Great Bear Keita, Blood Shadow Ivan."
The two also bowed slightly, as a form of greeting.
"We trouble you both."
The silver-haired elder smiled and said, "Cartlan, do you need help from anyone else?"
"No need. The plant-type monster that can produce the Spirit of the Trees is no weaker than a high-level War God..."
The man in the black robe, Cartlan, sneered, "No matter how many War Gods from the clan go, it's just sending them to their deaths!"
"There's one more thing..."
"According to Candice's information, that Jiang Li, the one hailed as the Invincible War God, is also on the Australian Continent..."
The silver-haired elder still felt the need to remind him, "He is someone Hong values."
"I won't kill him then!"
Cartlan said indifferently.
That statement was incredibly arrogant. It was an undefeated war god taking on five opponents. Anyone else saying this would be met with derision from the five elders.
But if the one speaking was 'Phantom Demon' Cartlan, it was entirely different.
Before Jiang Li rose to fame, 'Phantom Demon' Cartlan was the recognized undefeated war god. Even Hong's direct disciple, Puka, wasn't a match for 'Phantom Demon' Cartlan.
Because he was also a Spiritualist!
And a Spiritualist of the high-level war god rank!
The Polenas Family's ability to maintain a core position within the HR Alliance, despite not having anyone beyond war god level, was largely due to the existence of Phantom Demon Cartlan.
Once he underwent a life transition and broke through to become a being beyond the war god level, his strength would likely rank among the top ten in the world!
In just a moment.
A black, flying saucer-shaped fighter jet quickly took off from Paris Base City, shooting towards the southern sky like a black meteor.
At the same time.
Warplanes also departed from Hanxia, Fei Dong, Su Country, and India. Their destination was, without a doubt, the Australian Continent!
On the other side.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Jiang Li, Shi Jiang, and Zhao Ruo swiftly arrived on Mist Island to meet up with Chu Qiang and Liu Zheng.
"Jiang Li, Shi Jiang, and Zhao Ruo are here too?"
Chu Qiang, a muscular man, laughed heartily upon seeing the three of them.
"Senior Brother Chu Qiang, Junior Brother Liu Zheng."
Shi Jiang and Zhao Ruo greeted them as well, their gazes drifting towards the distance. They noticed a group of students from the Europa Region were also present, including William and Candice, even Janet and Rebecca.
"That's the situation. There are nine Spirit of the Trees on the island ahead, of the willow type!"
Chu Qiang pointed towards the cloud-shrouded island, his heart still filled with lingering fear. "The other eight willow trees are manageable; their attacks aren't that strong."
"But one of them is the Willow King, and its vines are incredibly fast and incredibly tough!"
"Once entangled, even I would be dead for sure!"
"Lemart and Simon were strangled by that Willow King!"
Liu Zheng, who was beside them, added.
His strength was also at the level of a mid-level War God, not stronger than Lemart and Simon. Fortunately, Chu Qiang protected him, allowing him to escape with his life.
"Jiang Li, what do you think?"
After listening, Shi Jiang asked Jiang Li, who was deep in thought.
"The fact that you were able to come out alive means that the Willow King's strength hasn't surpassed the War God level..."
Jiang Li pondered for a moment, ignoring the expressions on Chu Qiang and Liu Zheng's faces, and smiled slightly: "Then, let's first see how to distribute these eight Spirits of the Trees!"
