Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: Entering the Rank

Jiang Yuan gently closed Xiao Fengyu's eyes.

Wang Dama pointed at the man and woman beside her and said calmly: "Go kill them."

She didn't name names, but everyone knew who she was talking about.

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly. He was about to take his own straight knife when he suddenly walked towards the long spear still embedded in the cement ground.

This was Xiao Fengyu's weapon.

He pulled it out with a strong effort and walked towards the two people with an expressionless face.

After thinking for a moment, he turned around and said: "I'll kill one first."

"I'll try to break through. If I can, leave the other one for Lin Le."

Everyone looked at Wang Dama.

Wang Dama frowned and thought for a moment. She glanced at Lin Le, who had somehow crawled to Xiao Fengyu's body and was holding Xiao Fengyu's upper body in his arms, staring blankly. She said in a deep voice: "Alright, I believe you also know what two fanatics represent."

"Since you've decided to give one to Lin Le, I respect your opinion."

"But this First Grade Initial Rank must be yours. If the redemption power he brings alone isn't enough for you to break through, the second one is also yours."

At this time, Lin Le also raised his head, forcing an extremely ugly smile, and said: "Jiang Yuan, you don't need to worry about me. You're a disguise agent, they are most important to you."

"As for me... I will definitely enter the rank, yes, definitely."

Lin Le spoke very calmly, without his usual joking manner, but no one would doubt his determination.

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly and said no more.

Holding the long spear, he walked straight towards the mysterious man and woman on the ground.

The mysterious man and woman were completely panicked. The man could no longer maintain his indifference and cried out in panic: "Don't, don't kill me!"

"I, I can tell you who the mastermind is who hired us to kidnap you!"

"I, I, I'm still useful. Don't kill me, please, don't kill..."

'Puchi——'

The slightly curled spear tip was ruthlessly thrust into the man's eye socket, and his words came to an abrupt end.

At the moment of killing him!

A vast and mysterious power, as if from the heavens, descended from the sky, then split into two streams, flowing into Jiang Yuan and Hu Zhengfeng's bodies respectively.

Hu Zhengfeng received more because he had contributed the most to killing this person.

However, this person was at the First Grade Initial Rank. Even a small part flowing into Jiang Yuan's body was no less than killing a Third Grade Initial Rank fanatic alone.

This power was vast, but quite gentle.

Jiang Yuan had specifically learned how to absorb this so-called 'redemption power' before. In fact, its correct name should be 'divine power'.

It is absorbed with the mind. The higher the mental strength, the more one can absorb!

This is also why many believers don't break through after killing Awakened Ones, or Awakened Ones don't break through after killing fanatics.

Their mental strength is not enough, they absorb too little redemption power to meet the standard for entering the rank.

Jiang Yuan, with his mental strength of 24 points, was clearly not in this category.

The absorbed redemption power quickly merged into his body, into every cell of his body.

A sense of transformation gradually arose, and this feeling became stronger and stronger.

Suddenly!

An unprecedented sense of control emerged in his heart. At this moment, Jiang Yuan could clearly feel a magical and powerful force within his body that could be summoned at any time.

Even without summoning this force, the power flowing throughout his body could give him superhuman strength, endurance, and speed!

Even though his actual strength, endurance, and speed were only similar to ordinary people, with the blessing of this power, there was truly a transformative change.

Jiang Yuan finally understood the huge gap between being unranked and entering the rank.

The others present.

Wang Dama, who was making a phone call with a serious face, arranging something, suddenly stopped talking and looked towards Jiang Yuan, then nodded with a satisfied smile.

Hu Zhengfeng, Wang Rou, and Chi Zhongyue all looked up, very happy for Jiang Yuan.

Lin Le hadn't entered the rank yet, so he couldn't sense it.

On Jiang Yuan's side, after breaking through, there was still more than half of the power available for absorption.

Jiang Yuan had no other thoughts and continued to absorb.

It took about a few minutes.

Jiang Yuan finally completed the absorption.

Before he could speak, Wang Dama said: "Very good, but now is not the time to talk."

"Soon other people will come here. You leave first!"

"We'll talk about the rest later!"

"But be careful yourself. We still need to deal with the scene here and can't protect you temporarily."

"Leave this person for Lin Le... Lin Le, aren't you going?"

Lin Le was stunned. He looked up at Jiang Yuan, surprised that Jiang Yuan had actually broken through in one go.

He didn't waste any words, picked up Xiao Fengyu's spear as well, and walked towards the woman with hatred written all over his face.

The woman was already extremely weak at this moment, breathing more out than in.

When she saw Lin Le approaching, she actually showed a look of relief.

Jiang Yuan didn't watch the result.

He quickly left the area.

...

He walked far away until he reached an uninhabited small forest in the suburbs before stopping.

He couldn't wait to open his information panel.

Name: Jiang Yuan

Strength: 10

Endurance: 11

Divine Power: lv4

Speed: 10

Soul: 24

Strength: Third Grade Initial Rank

Survival: 4

...

Except for the two items of Divine Power and Strength, nothing else had changed.

His strength was in line with the world's classification.

Only the Divine Power was displayed as lv4, which made Jiang Yuan observe it closely.

Wait!

The Mental column also seemed to have changed, from Mental to Soul!

Perhaps mental strength after entering the rank can be called a soul?

Jiang Yuan didn't understand this question. Anyway, it was just a name change, as long as the value was the same.

With a thought, he soon had a detailed explanation of what lv4 after Divine Power meant.

To put it simply, Divine Power is a more detailed and data-based embodiment of strength realm division!

This world's division is a certain rank and grade.

Then the lv4 displayed by Divine Power is the detailed embodiment of the 'grade'.

There are a total of 10 levels from lv1 to lv10.

If you improve further, you enter the next 'rank'.

For example, Jiang Yuan is now Third Grade Initial Rank.

When his Divine Power reaches lv10, he will break through to Second Grade Initial Rank!

Then he will start accumulating from lv1 again.

This intuitive presentation method gave Jiang Yuan a clearer understanding of his own strength control and when he would break through.

And with this, it was also more convenient to directly improve Divine Power with Survival Points.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan quickly took a look, then pursed his lips.

Each level of Divine Power requires a full 100 Survival Points!

Well, it's too expensive, can't afford it, never mind.

What also surprised Jiang Yuan was that after absorbing the redemption power contributed by the mysterious man, he directly reached lv4.

Only 7 levels away from reaching Second Grade Initial Rank!

It has to be said that this absorption rate is quite good.

This is the benefit of strong mental... no, now it should be called soul, this is the benefit of a strong soul.

After half a month in this world, half a month of fear, he had finally become a Ranked powerhouse. This was something to be happy about, but Jiang Yuan wasn't happy at all right now.

After a moment of silence, he hailed a taxi and headed straight for the safe house.

...

Wang Dama and the others returned two hours later.

As expected, the scene should have been made to look like a vendetta.

This is also a common practice after the Redemption Organization kills people.

There are really many vendettas in this world. With no restrictions on carrying cold weapons and the existence of supernatural powers, the security level in this world can't be good.

In addition, there are many demonic cults in this world that believe in different demons, competing for believers,conflicts due to beliefs, snatching Awakened Ones, and so on.

Not to mention the normal conflicts between people.

In various countries on Earth, there are endless cases of people killing each other over trivial matters. This world naturally has them too.

This leads to a large number of homicides every day, most of which have nothing to do with Awakened Ones.

The group returned to the safe house with heavy hearts. As Awakened Ones, death is common, and losing teammates is also common. They should have gotten used to it.

But being used to it is one thing; it's impossible to remain indifferent when a teammate who has been together for many years dies in front of you.

"Where's Jiang Yuan?"

Wang Dama asked as soon as she returned to the safe house.

Wang Rou replied: "He sent me a message two hours ago saying he was back at the safe house. He should be in the training room now."

After a pause, she added: "Shall I go call him over?"

Wang Dama nodded and said: "Let's go over. Since he should be training, we won't interrupt him... Lin Le, you just broke through, you'd better go train to stabilize your strength too."

In the past, Lin Le would have found all sorts of reasons to avoid it, but now he just said 'hmm' and walked towards the training room.

Looking at Lin Le's heavy expression, Hu Zhengfeng couldn't help but worry and ask: "Xiao Fengyu's death has hit him the hardest."

"Won't there be any problems? Shouldn't you go give him some psychological counseling, Xiao Rou?"

Before Wang Rou could speak, Ma Dama glared and said: "I think you, Hu Zhengfeng, should receive psychological counseling!"

"Have you forgotten your role as captain after all these years? What is our identity? What kind of people are we?"

"To put it bluntly, we are a group of people who carry our heads in our pockets and could die at any moment!"

"If you don't even have this mental quality, this psychological endurance, what kind of professional are you? Wouldn't it be better to be an ordinary Awakened One and muddle along?"

Hu Zhengfeng shut up ly.

To be honest, there are three women he's afraid of in his life.

Team Leader Wang Dama.

Vice Team Leader Wang Rou.

Team Member Chi Zhongyue.

Wang Dama is understandable; she's his superior and can beat him without using both hands.

As for Wang Rou, she has always played the role of the brain in the team. He's used to listening to her and naturally doesn't dare to provoke her.

And Chi Zhongyue...

Usually, she's as ethereal as a fairy, like a celestial being descending to earth.

But when she goes crazy, even psychopaths are no match for her.

Can't afford to provoke.

The one he can least afford to provoke is Chi Zhongyue.

Now everyone walked towards the training room together.

Jiang Yuan had broken through.

He had become a Ranked powerhouse.

That meant...

From today onwards.

The word 'intern' before 'disguise agent' could be removed.

It also meant.

If there are arrangements from above.

He could be sent into the most dangerous environments at any time, fighting wits and courage with countless enemies.

But before that.

That damned Xiong Yong must die!!!
