The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3302 - 3297: Fully Upgraded_1

Vast quantities of Jiyu Essence like this have surfaced in sub-halls boasting merits beyond the fourth level in the past.

Yet, in sub-halls operating below the fourth level, stumbling upon such Jiyu Essences remains extraordinarily uncommon.

Earth Spirit Hall enforces a strict rule: whenever a massive haul of Jiyu Essence turns up, the overseer of the inferior sub-hall is required to notify higher authorities immediately.

The green-robed steward had personally summoned Linglong Fairy for this matter.

By now, as the green-robed steward briefed Linglong Fairy, the pair had reached Yang Chen's location.

The green-robed steward grinned warmly and announced, "Linglong Fairy, allow me to introduce Brother Yang Chen, the very one I spoke of earlier."

Linglong Fairy flashed a captivating smile and replied, "Young Master Yang Chen, Steward Fu has shared your story with me during our journey here. I never imagined you'd be quite so youthful."

"Linglong Fairy, your praise overwhelms me. I merely appear a touch younger than my years," Yang Chen responded.

Linglong Fairy knew better than to take it at face value, given their advanced cultivation that allowed them to discern truths at a glance. In an instant, she saw that Yang Chen was genuinely young.

Still, the exact span of his cultivation years eluded her.

In a gentle tone, Linglong Fairy suggested, "Could you recount the details of your report once more, Yang Chen? It would help me assist you more effectively."

Yang Chen paused briefly before explaining, "I've finished nearly all the tasks available for earning Jiyu Essence in the Spirit Fire World. Feel free to verify them, Linglong Fairy."

At those words, Linglong Fairy froze for a moment, her eyes expanding in astonishment.

Wasn't this Yang Chen a true prodigy? Had he truly conquered every possible task within a single realm?

She drew in a sharp breath, then recovered with a alluring smile, saying, "Of course, I'll examine it for you immediately, Young Master Yang Chen."

Once their exchange wrapped up, Linglong Fairy dove into reviewing Yang Chen's records personally.

The verification results stunned the surrounding spectators, drawing an ever-growing crowd.

Lu Tao and Mo Wenfeng felt the most rattled among them.

Gradually, they began grasping just how extraordinary Yang Chen truly was.

Lu Tao, in particular, started sensing a twinge of dread. His earlier outburst stemmed from sheer disbelief that a novice he'd dismissed could soar to such dizzying heights!

But reality had shifted...

Linglong Fairy initially doubted the claims, yet verification soon confirmed Yang Chen's words held no exaggeration. Everything checked out!

He had genuinely tackled the bulk of tasks feasible in the Spirit Fire World!

Virtually every key Jiyu Essence mission fell to his efforts.

Amid her profound shock, Linglong Fairy murmured softly, "Brother Yang Chen, you've left me utterly astonished. From your venture into the Spirit Fire World, you've gathered a whopping 146,300 units of Jiyu Essence. Would you prefer to bank them, or shall I process your merit advancement?"

Learning the total was a mere 146,000, Yang Chen shook his head with a hint of dissatisfaction.

After all, it paled against the haul from Wan Tianyu's exclusive mission.

Should fellow cultivators learn he deemed 140,000 insufficient, it might spark fury among these entry-level practitioners.

The Heaven-separated Realm cultivators nearby gaped in disbelief at Linglong Fairy's announcement.

"One hundred... a full one hundred forty-six thousand?"

"Impossible!"

"Snagging 146,000 Jiyu Essence solo in one expedition? Heavens, even a full squad on assignment rarely pulls that off."

How did folks typically amass Jiyu Essence?

Teams ventured forth, harvesting tens of thousands per outing, then divvied up the gains among members to build reserves gradually.

For cultivators at third- or fourth-level merits, hitting that tier could demand tens of thousands of years.

Those aiming for fifth- or sixth-level merits faced even steeper odds.

Yet Yang Chen?

In a single sweep, he'd claimed over 100,000 merits across mere months.

Lu Tao and Mo Wenfeng stood utterly tongue-tied before him.

Over 100,000...

Yang Chen hadn't just matched their long-sought merit boosts—he'd shattered them entirely!

Regret twisted Lu Tao's gut like a knife. Had he heeded Mo Wenfeng and allowed Yang Chen to tag along, they could've wrapped up their mission swiftly and claimed a share of the rewards.

With Yang Chen's demonic prowess yielding over 100,000 Jiyu Essence effortlessly, aiding their quest would've been child's play.

"What perks come with merit upgrades?" Though advancement seemed straightforward, Yang Chen inquired anyway, "And storing Jiyu Essence—what purpose does that serve?"

Linglong Fairy smiled at Yang Chen's query. Ordinarily, she'd dismiss such basic inquiries, but here, she'd indulge him.

Such was the privilege.

With a soft voice, Linglong Fairy elaborated, "Advancing your merits unlocks superior cultivation spots within the Ancient Divine Realm, as you're likely aware. Furthermore, elevated merits grant entry to exclusive secret realms crafted by the Ancient Divine Realm."

"Secret realms?" Yang Chen echoed, intrigued.

"Indeed, these realms, unearthed and forged by the Ancient Divine Realm across eons, offer diverse advantages tailored to cultivators' needs. Should you opt to advance, I'll detail them further. Plus, reaching fourth-level merit lets you bypass lines for assignments like realm travels or reports—I'd handle them directly and share targeted task intel." Linglong Fairy outlined the advantages step by step.

Envy rippled through the onlookers.

All craved pushing their merits to fourth level or higher.

Why, you ask?

The perks were unmatched.

In lesser sub-halls, everything involved endless waits and groveling to stewards' moods.

But surpassing fourth-level merit flipped the script entirely. The enchanting Linglong Fairy would oversee matters personally, streamlining it all. Who wouldn't crave that ease?

Above all, access to those coveted secret realms fueled every dream.

The secret realms instantly piqued Yang Chen's curiosity.

Back in the Spirit Realm, he'd caught whispers of them, never dreaming they'd resurface in the Ancient Divine Realm. He pondered the contrasts with Lingnan Two Realms' versions.

These musings settled, Yang Chen declared without hesitation, "Use these Jiyu Essences to elevate my merits as far as they allow."
