The Brilliant Fighting Master

The difference between monsters and beasts was that demons could take a humanoid form, and as long as a beast was able to take a humanoid form, it would be called a demon.

Demons possessed feelings and emotions, and a child born between them and another race was called a half-demon. As time elapsed, more half-demons appeared, and they formed a whole tribe.

In the past, the half-demon clan hid like all other clans, but after the appearance of Myriads Clan, the half-demon clan couldn’t bear solitude any longer.

Zhang Han had revealed a half-demon great power. He controlled his Stars Sea’s power perfectly, and as he used it along with his Martial Doctrine and Martial Lore, it released a boundless might.

If Jiang Chen hadn’t become a five-stars expert, then his previous claims would have become just delirious ravings. He used the Invincible Golden Body without the least bit of hesitation along with his Five Thunder Authentic Method.

“The Rage of Thunder!” Jiang Chen stood in the same place as before and waved his fist. Myriad bolts of divine lightning emitted a thunderous cry.

“Huh?” All of a sudden, the strongest lightning method emerged in Jiang Chen’s mind, and he felt like he suddenly understood something.

Jiang Chen faced the spear head-on and released a mighty surge of power which was able to shatter even the void. A strong wind blew over the plain and ran amok, causing even the army camp’s buildings to start swaying. Luckily, no soldiers were there because they were all observing the fight.

Jiang Chen didn’t move even a single step, and he even sent Zhang Han flying away.

Many alarmed cries echoed through the camp, and people got a new level of respect for Jiang Chen.

“This guy is skilled.”

“I had assumed that his power was just limited to the Human List.”

“He has a divine body, which broke the curse. It’s really indestructible and invulnerable.”

Zhang Han had stayed in the Xuanji Army for a long time to temper himself. He had begun as an ordinary soldier and had used his power to get the others’ respect.

Everyone in the Xuanji Army thought that he fully deserved to become a captain. Then, however, Jiang Chen had arrived suddenly and had changed everything, and this was why such an ordeal occurred on this day.

Now, everyone understood why Jiang Chen could become a captain even though he had come out of the blue.

Zhang Han wasn’t merely sent flying. Blood was dripping out of the corners of his mouth, while his face was pale. It was obvious that he had suffered a number of serious injuries!

One side built up enough power for his attack, while the other just released his power suddenly. Such an outcome was enough to demonstrate the disparity between those two people.

Jiang Chen collected the divine lightning gradually. He didn’t care at all about the fight’s outcome because if he wasn’t qualified to become even a captain, he would just have to end his life in order to spare himself such a humiliation.

Jiang Chen was wondering about the feeling which he just had. He felt like he had suddenly found the crux of the strongest lightning method’s missing parts.

After Jiang Chen went back to the camp, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Xiong Gang. “How can one become a commander?” he asked.

Upon hearing this question, Xiong Gang’s expression became ice-cold, and he stopped laughing strangely as he had been doing before.

Everyone in the Ferocious Tiger Battalion became nervous, and the people, who had just changed their opinions of Jiang Chen, now reverted to their previous opinion of him.

“It’s quite simple. You just have to defeat a commander,” Xiong Gang said coldly.

Jiang Chen became quite eager to give it a try, and he started to carefully examine this vile man.

“Forget such a matter!” Xiao Li wouldn’t allow such a farce to continue. “Do you think that you all have free time and nothing to do? You should all prepare yourself and continue carrying out the mission.”

Seeing Xiao Li got so angry, no one in the Ferocious Tiger Battalion dared to utter a single word. Even Xiong Gang behaved well.

“Come out!”

Just after this, Xiao Li swept the Tiger Camp with his gaze, and seventy or eighty soldiers emerged. They had all realized something and were wearing a helpless expression.

“They will be managed by you,” Xiao Li said to Jiang Chen.

“Okay!” Jiang Chen’s gaze fell upon the soldiers. They were mostly in their thirties and forties and were all at the Star Venerable Realm. They were single Qi cultivators, and it could be said that they were at the lowest level of the Star Venerable Realm.

“You should all stand in seven lines of ten people,” Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.

Those were all cultivators, and this was why even though they were in the army, they were still as careless as before.

Upon hearing Jiang Chen’s order, the other people in the Tiger Camp laughed up their sleeves.

“Does this guy take us for an elite army?” Xiong Gang chuckled mockingly.

However, all the people who heard his order acted unexpectedly quickly. It was as though they had suffered a lightning strike, and they all obeyed the command and stood in lines properly.

If one observed Jiang Chen carefully, they would notice that his gaze was ardent, and a stifling wave of pressure was emanating from him.

“If you follow me, you should remember the following words. If one makes a great contribution, he will be rewarded, and if one makes an unintentional or deliberate mistake, he will be punished.”

At this moment, the soldiers standing in lines had an indescribable feeling.

“Understood?” Jiang Chen shouted loudly.

“Understood!” Someone couldn’t bear the wave of pressure emanating from Jiang Chen, and he replied.

“Did none of you get a meal? I will ask you once again, did you understand it?” Jiang Chen asked solemnly, wearing a stern look.

“Understood!”

Deafening shouts reverberated through the whole camp, and many people were stunned by them. Those soldiers all had high fighting spirits.

Upon witnessing such a sight, surprise appeared on the face of Ling Long Camp’s Cang Yue. “It seems like the Heavenly Fire Army will regret its decision before long,” Cang Yue muttered.

“He’s treating them like a regular army,” Wang Teng said enviously.

The Ling Long Army was the main army, and Wang Teng was one of its commanders.

After he found out that Jiang Chen had joined the Xuanji Army, he felt slightly proud of himself. But, upon witnessing Tian Ling’s face, which was filled with adoration, Wang Teng found it difficult to bear this matter.

The Xuanji Army’s camp’s gates were opened, and the five battalions rushed in different directions to begin their mission.

Qi Li Continent was vast and boundless, and there were still many unexplored areas on it. They didn’t even have a complete map of it. This was why Xuanji Army needed to explore it and record the paths while looking for precious lands, which could be used by them like land with good veins of ore. The first person to discover one would be rewarded generously. But, Qi Li Continent was fraught with dangers, and it wasn’t easy to deal with its ferocious beasts.

After the Ferocious Tiger Battalion had flown for over a thousand miles, Commander Xiong Gang passed down an order. There were five captains with him, and they all led their soldiers and started proceeding forward.

“Captain Jiang Chen, you should go to Heaven Devouring Mountain. Your soldiers will inform you what that land is like,” Xiong Gang ordered Jiang Chen. It was obvious that he was up to mischief.

A mocking smile appeared on the faces of the other soldiers, while a bitter look appeared on the faces of Jiang Chen’s subordinates.

After they started operating separately, someone far behind the front line started chasing after Jiang Chen. It was Zhang Han! He was allowed to rest in the camp because he was injured, and he didn’t need to participate in the exploration mission.

At first, Jiang Chen assumed that he was looking for trouble. He didn’t expect that his first words would be, “Let me join your team.” An awkward look was apparent on his face, but it was still resolute and firm.

“Is this Heaven Devouring Mountain’s path? There are just mountains of rock there, and one of them was a mountain, whose shape resembled a ferocious beast’s mouth. That mouth opened widely toward the sky, and this was why the mountain was named Heaven Devouring Mountain. If you cross Heaven Devouring Mountain, you will reach the most dangerous area.” After Zhang Han discovered their route, he quickly gave Jiang Chen the information he needed.

“You are eligible to join us.” Jiang Chen wasn’t a narrow-minded person, and since this guy didn’t care about the conflict, Jiang Chen wouldn’t let it worry him either.

Their team continued proceeding forward, and Jiang Chen shortly got to see Heaven Devouring Mountain.

It was just as Zhang Han had described it, and it seemed like part of a roaring ferocious beast’s body, giving the impression that one could pass through the mouth and enter the mountain.

Such a natural landscape was really rarely seen.

“You should be careful and be on your guard.”

The land beside Heaven Devouring Mountain was desolate and primitive, and the sky was gloomy. Many strange lights could be seen flickering far away.

Upon witnessing Jiang Chen taking the lead and walking in the front, the other soldiers felt more relieved, and they all followed him.
