Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Transcendent Treasure
The device Luo Ping took out resembled an electronic scale in appearance. As long as Jiang Kai stood on it, it could measure his exact profession level within just over ten seconds.
This testing device was also known as the most useless equipment of Chuangrui.
Currently, many smartwatches already had attribute estimation functions, and from this, it wasn't difficult to infer profession level.
Unexpectedly today, this job-change trace detector was actually put to use.
Since it was the military who came to inspect, Jiang Kai didn't oppose, stood on the trace detector, and waited for the final result.
Roughly over ten seconds later, the trace detector emitted three beeps, and then the final result appeared on the screen.
[Detected a total of three job-change traces. The test subject is a third-job profession.]
The testing device was also quite advanced, projecting the test results for easier viewing.
When this test result came out, the competition arena, which had been quiet for several seconds, was once again blasted into uproar!
"What? Third-tier? How is that possible! How can a third-tier have such high attributes!"
"Third-tier has three profession talents, three profession skills, don't tell me all three talents and skills are god-level, and all are related to agility?"
"What's going on? Is Jiang Kai playing the same Destiny Job game as us?"
Luo Ping looked at the final result, his brows tightly knit, and didn't speak for a long time.
Jiang Kai waited a moment, then urged, "Can I continue the match now?"
Only then did Luo Ping come back to his senses. "This... how could this be! Jiang Kai, are you really a third-tier profession?"
Jiang Kai said calmly, "A few months ago, I entered the public zone. At that time, I was definitely second-tier. Xuanwu's people just said themselves, in such a short time, it's impossible to even reach third-tier."
"And now they're starting to suspect I'm a transcendent fifth-tier? Were their brains kicked by a donkey?"
With Jiang Kai's words, Luo Ping suddenly woke up.
No matter how outrageous the result, the test was complete. Jiang Kai was qualified to continue participating in the competition!
Luo Ping was silent for a moment. He looked at Jiang Kai, took a deep breath, and nodded to his subordinates, signaling them to put away the detector...
Just then, a dark shadow suddenly shot out from Jiang Kai's hand and pierced through the testing device!
Luo Ping looked at Jiang Kai in surprise, full of confusion in his eyes.
Jiang Kai smiled slightly and retrieved "Chasing Fate." "Lord Luo, sorry, I don't really understand these high-tech things. Although you said it only tests profession level, I still didn't feel at ease. I'll reimburse it at the original price."
Jiang Kai had once been told by Su Nuannuan that the data department could obtain some personal info from the smartwatch.
Since the military could access it, others might be able to too.
Who knew whether that test device secretly checked his other attributes, so Jiang Kai simply destroyed it directly.
Luo Ping was not angry. He smiled slightly at Jiang Kai. "During the competition, General Hua Tianchen said you seemed carefree but were actually meticulous. Truly living up to your reputation."
"No need to reimburse for that thing. You may continue the match." With that said, Luo Ping led his people off the platform.
Jiang Kai turned around and looked toward the direction of the main stand.
Unfortunately, there were too many people over there, and it was unclear which ones were Xuanwu's members.
"Always pulling out some flashy tricks." Jiang Kai snorted coldly, then turned to look at the Xuanwu players on the stage. "If no one else is coming to fight, I'll consider it my win!"
At this moment, finally, someone walked over.
Just now when Luo Ping was testing him, it seemed someone from Xuanwu had gone up the stage and said something to the contestant there. It looked like they had already planned a strategy.
Even though that person wore a mask and had ear-length short hair, from the figure, posture, and overall aura, it was easy to tell she was a woman.
That woman stood in front of Jiang Kai, and behind the mask, her thickly-lashed eyes stared fixedly at him.
Suddenly, the woman took off her mask.
At this point, the mask no longer served a purpose.
When she removed the mask and tilted her head, her jet-black short hair spread like blossoming flowers, paired with her exquisitely beautiful features and graceful movements, it became a rare and breathtaking sight.
At this moment, Jiang Kai finally recognized this person.
This woman was one of the Four Season Flowers, though Jiang Kai didn't know exactly which one.
"Jiang Kai, we meet again! Looks like you had some incredible encounter. I really don't understand why someone like you would have such good luck!" The woman's voice was very pleasant to hear, but her tone was icy, filled with strong hostility.
"Which one of the Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter are you?" Jiang Kai asked.
"Guess."
Jiang Kai had a big black line over his head. He had no interest in playing guessing games. "Forget it then."
The woman sneered coldly. "Honestly, you really are a genius. But if you think you alone can bring down our Xuanwu Guild, then you're too naïve."
Jiang Kai frowned. "I never thought that. I just came to earn points."
The woman's face turned slightly ugly. This guy completely wasn't following the script!
Just then, huge numbers appeared on the ground between them. The battle was about to enter its countdown.
Jiang Kai had already grasped "Chasing Fate" in hand, eyes locked onto the woman.
Xiang Wenjie was instantly defeated, partly because he didn't expect Jiang Kai to be so fast. Now everyone knew that his agility attribute was freakishly high, and would naturally be on guard.
Just now the Xuanwu member went on stage, most likely to suggest countermeasures targeting this.
And this woman entering now—there was no doubt she had some kind of counter.
He must not let his guard down.
The moment the countdown hit zero, Jiang Kai had already made his move!
In the instant he raised his hand, six "Chasing Fate" daggers shot at the woman.
At that moment, a jade pendant had somehow appeared in the woman's hand.
"Transcendent Treasure: Devour Heaven and Earth!"
This black jade stone flew from the woman's hand and floated in front of her.
From the treasure, a powerful suction force burst forth!
Jiang Kai even felt his whole body being pulled toward the jade.
In no time, the suction grew stronger and stronger.
Winds howled across the Xuanwu arena. In the center of the battlefield, a black vortex spun wildly like a miniature black hole!
And this scene shocked everyone present.
"What's going on? How did a tier-four person use a transcendent-quality treasure?!"
"There's a qualitative gap between mortal and transcendent. Transcendent items can't be used by lower tiers. Is that woman a transcendent-level?"
"Probably not. The War God Hall people didn't stop her, so it means she's not transcendent. But why can she use a transcendent treasure?"
Jiang Kai's third-tier attributes already surpassed most top-tier fourth-tiers. But even his strongest agility stat still hadn't reached transcendent fifth-tier level, let alone strength, physique, and spirit.
Facing a transcendent treasure, Jiang Kai immediately felt a terrifying force pulling on him.
This pulling wasn't just physical—it even made Jiang Kai feel his consciousness becoming uncontrollable!
"Devour Heaven and Earth" could actually simultaneously affect the body and the mind!
The earlier "Chasing Fate" daggers were instantly sucked in. Now even Jiang Kai himself was being controlled.
"Devour Heaven and Earth" was a treasure effect. The woman didn't need to control it and was in a fully liberated state.
She immediately pulled out two daggers and charged at Jiang Kai.
The force of "Devour Heaven and Earth" had no effect on her, while Jiang Kai was struggling to resist the suction…
"Jiang Kai, you're not the only one with encounters!"
"Backstab Assassination!" In an instant, the woman had closed in. With her strange movement technique, she flashed behind Jiang Kai, and two daggers stabbed toward his back!
The immense pulling force made Jiang Kai unable to turn around or move—he was practically a living target.
"Phase Shift!"
Jiang Kai used Phase Shift to block one of the woman's deadly strikes.
"Let's see how many times Phase Shift can save you!" the woman sneered and charged Jiang Kai again!
"It even sucks in true energy. As long as you're not transcendent, there's no escaping the Devouring Jade! Jiang Kai, you're dead today for sure!"
Seeing the woman approaching again, Jiang Kai's mind raced.
Deception Doppelganger? No good! It's not invincible—his real body enters stealth mode, but in that state, he'd still be dragged into the devouring field.
Getting sucked in definitely wouldn't end well.
Use the Qi Energy Jade? Qi shield is also a form of true energy—it'd probably be sucked away too…
"Backstab Assassination!" The woman's daggers were already stabbing toward Jiang Kai's neck…
At that moment, Jiang Kai suddenly released all strength in his body, letting himself be pulled by the suction force, charging straight toward the Devouring Treasure!
