It was enough to make his eyes pop out of their sockets.
The bottleneck for Martial Apprentice to break through to Martial Artist is no less difficult than the difficulty for Late-Stage First-Rank Martial Artist to break through to Second-Rank Martial Artist. Speaking of which, Jiang Fan seems to have no bottleneck at all.
At that moment, Yan Tianyang's voice came from the phone.
"I don't have confidence in him, but rather in my own judgment."
After saying that, his expression turned serious, and he continued, "Actually, there's something else I'd like Jiang Fan to help me with. Perhaps only he can help me with this."
Upon hearing this, the Crazy Old Man became interested.
"Oh? What do you need his help with?"
Yan Tianyang didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point. "My people have found out that the Church of Justice, which is coming this time, will be sending a Holy Son."
"A Holy Son? I've never heard of him. When did the Church of Justice produce a Holy Son?"
"This is the Holy Son; their Church of Justice claims he is the reincarnation of the Holy Lord."
One sentence stirred up a huge wave!
The Crazy Old Man was filled with a storm of emotions that he could not calm down for a long time.
"What did you say? You mean that holy son who appeared out of nowhere, he—he's the reincarnation of the Holy Lord?"
"That's how my people found out," Yan Tianyang replied.
The Crazy Old Man man's mouth remained agape for a long time, while the image of the Handsome Uncle appeared in his mind.
Seeing no response from his phone, Yan Tianyang smiled knowingly.
"I imagine you, Master Li, are also very curious about the background of this Holy Son, and whether he is the reincarnation of the Holy Lord of the Church of Justice?"
The Crazy Old Man's lips were tightly pursed, and he gripped the wine jug tightly.
After a long pause, he finally spoke.
"I understand why you need Jiang Fan's help. It's because he's Spirit Master, making it easier for him to gather useful information than ordinary people. Besides, no one knows he's Spirit Master, so naturally, they won't be wary of him."
"That's exactly right," Yan Tianyang replied without hesitation.
The Crazy Old Man remained silent for a few seconds before making his decision.
"If Jiang Fan fails to advance to Second-Rank Martial Artist within three months, I will absolutely not allow him to go."
" Master Li, you're being far too protective of him. Even if he doesn't advance to the Second Rank, he can still go. After all, that's the Zhou Family's cultivation secret realm, rich in spiritual energy. If Jiang Fan can cultivate there, it will be of great benefit. Of course, if he really doesn't advance to the Second Rank after three months, I won't let him risk going to inquire about that Holy Son."
Hearing Yan Tianyang say this, the Crazy Old Man felt much more at ease.
"This matter still needs to be decided by Jiang Fan himself."
"Then I'll trouble you, Master Li, to pass on the message."
"Um."
Time flies, and summer vacation is coming to an end in the blink of an eye.
Inner Wilderness Zone.
Within the Death Swamp, one swamp after another was stained red, and countless carcasses of Sharp-Toothed Golden-Armored Crocodile floated in the bloody water.
Jiang Fan sat nearby, looking at the system panel.
Points: 23000
Qi and Blood: 1322N
Psychic Power: 13612P(+)
Lottery: 100 points per draw
Mall Exchange
Qi and Blood Fruit = 1000 points
Psychic Fruit = 100,000 points
At this moment, his Qi and Blood were 1322N, while the Qi and Blood of Early-Stage Second-Rank Martial Artist were 1000N.
More than a month ago, he broke through the threshold of the Second Rank and officially became a Martial Artist at the Early-Stage Second Rank.
After another month of accumulating points in the Inner Wilderness Zone, he now has 23,000 points. Every 10 points can be exchanged for 1N of Qi and Blood, so he can now exchange for 200N of Qi and Blood.
However, due to insufficient personal physical fitness and intensity, it is temporarily not possible to directly redeem points.
You can only exchange points for Qi and Blood Fruit in the store. Each Qi and Blood Fruit you eat will increase your Qi and Blood by 5N and also change your physical attributes.
To break through to the Middle-Stage Second-Rank Martial Artist's Qi and Blood must reach 1500N, and his current points are more than enough.
"System, exchange all my points for Qi and Blood Fruit!"
[Yes, Master. It takes 1000 points to exchange for one Qi and Blood Fruit. You can get 23 fruits by exchanging all the points in your account. The exchange has been successful.]
Accompanied by the system's mechanical notification sound, a pile of Qi and Blood Fruit quickly appeared in front of Jiang Fan.
He quickly devoured all the Qi and Blood Fruit, and the Qi and Blood status on the system panel changed accordingly.
Points: 0
Qi and Blood: 1437N
Psychic Power: 13612P
Lottery: 100 points per draw
Mall Exchange
Qi and Blood Fruit = 1000 points
Psychic Fruit = 100,000 points
"I only need 63N more Qi and Blood to reach the Middle-Stage Second-Rank Martial Artist."
Jiang Fan muttered to himself, "School starts in about a week. If I work hard in the remaining time, I can still finish."
Thinking of this, when Jiang Fan opened his eyes again, they were brimming with light and full of anticipation.
With his current strength, he could do whatever he wanted in Fortress No. 31, but Fortress No. 31 was only the outermost fortress of Great Xia.
But soon he will be heading to the core of the Great Xia Dynasty, Fortress No. 1, where powerful figures gather and all sorts of people mingle. If he is not careful, he will become someone else's grasshopper.
Therefore, he needs to improve his strength as soon as possible so that he won't be easily manipulated and bullied, and can better protect his family.
Five days have passed.
Jiang Fan successfully broke through to become Middle-Stage Second-Rank Martial Artist, and his Psychic Power also improved to a certain extent.
With two days left until school registration, he plans to leave first thing tomorrow morning.
In the late afternoon, Jiang Fan arrived at the cemetery management office carrying groceries he had just bought from the market.
The Crazy Old Man grinned broadly. "You're leaving first thing tomorrow morning. I thought you wouldn't come back, but I didn't expect you to be so filial. You even thought to cook me one last meal before you leave."
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have shown care for the elderly, deeply moved them, and performed a good deed. Your points have been increased by 1000.]
Upon hearing the system notification, Jiang Fan subtly raised an eyebrow.
He was just thinking that he was leaving soon, and he wanted to take advantage of the Crazy Old Man as much as possible.
"Ahem, you've been pretty good to me too, I'm just repaying you by cooking you a meal."
After saying that, Jiang Fan felt a pang of heartache again.
Once he goes to Fortress No. 1, he won't be able to easily get anything from the Crazy Old Man anymore.
Suddenly, he had a great idea.
" Crazy Old Man, why don't you come with me to Fortress No. 1 tomorrow? That way I can cook for you every day."
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have done a good deed by showing care for the elderly, bringing them great comfort and earning 1000 points.]
The Crazy Old Man was truly moved. He never expected Jiang Fan to care about him so much, and even thought of bringing him along to Fortress No. 1.
Could it be that this kid, despite his apparent disdain for his master, actually treats him like family?
Thinking of this, the Crazy Old Man's heart was filled with even greater emotion.
He felt he must have found out the truth. Based on his understanding of Jiang Fan, only someone who was most important to Jiang Fan would care so much.
Awooooo--
At this moment, the Crazy Old Man's heart was filled with emotion like a surging tide, crashing against the shore, wave after wave, and he was so moved that tears were about to flow.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have done a good deed by showing care for the elderly, bringing them great comfort and earning 2000 points.]
