ACSP: Chapter 146: The Perfect Arena to Unleash Lightning Style: Kirin!
[Cloud Thunder Canyon Secret Realm Task Released: Beast Tide Attack!]
[Task Content: Hold Cloud Thunder Peak against the sea beasts' assault, or kill all the sea beasts in the Cloud Thunder sea area!]
[Task Reward: Large amount of experience points (with a chance to obtain additional item rewards)!]
[Secret Realm Tip: Killing any sea beast in the secret realm grants experience point rewards.]
Shortly after entering the secret realm, Jiang Chen and the others received a task.
"It seems Lei Li was right; this secret realm is indeed very suitable for grinding experience. As long as one has enough strength, the experience points gained in a single day might even exceed that of the Forest of Death."
Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze from the task information and then looked up at the sky above Cloud Thunder Canyon.
At this moment.
Above the firmament, a massive patch of cumulonimbus clouds was gathering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lightning like silver snakes danced crazily within the cloud layer, illuminating the entire sea area like a boiling purgatory.
After the secret realm task began, the weather here immediately became even more severe.
Especially in the Cloud Thunder Canyon sea area.
At this time, pairs of blood-red beast eyes had already broken through the churning surface of the sea.
A large number of sea beasts were rapidly approaching.
"Everyone, pay attention. This is our first time challenging the Hell-level difficulty of Cloud Thunder Canyon."
"The strength and number of sea beasts here are a full two times higher than in the Hard-level Cloud Thunder Canyon. You all did your homework before coming into the secret realm, so I shouldn't need to remind you what to watch out for, right?"
Luo Yuqing stood at the foot of Cloud Thunder Peak and began to quickly assign tasks to Chu Xuan and the other two.
Their combat plan was very simple.
Luo Yuqing, who possessed a flying summoning beast, was responsible for containing the beast horde from the air and attracting the attention of the majority of the horde.
Meanwhile, Chu Xuan and the other two were responsible for guarding Cloud Thunder Peak and killing the sea beasts that landed on the shore.
"Don't worry, Yuqing. We will definitely hold Cloud Thunder Peak."
Chu Xuan nodded earnestly.
He bit his finger and decisively summoned his summoning beast.
It was a strange beast resembling a sea lion, but with a single horn on its head.
Seeing this, the other two also summoned their respective summoning beasts.
Luo Yuqing also summoned her owl.
After the beast tide arrived, they would need to face a large number of sea beasts simultaneously.
Having summoning beasts fight in coordination could help them share some of the pressure.
People who came to grind this secret realm basically all brought a summoning beast with them.
This was also the main reason why Luo Yuqing had wanted to recruit Jiang Chen into the team earlier.
Because a flying summoning beast could occupy an absolute terrain advantage here.
After finishing the task distribution with her teammates, Luo Yuqing turned to look at Jiang Chen.
She opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something.
But in the end, she hesitated and stopped.
Her original plan was to have Jiang Chen follow her to contain the sea beasts in the air.
However.
After learning of Jiang Chen's identity.
She immediately dismissed this thought.
Because she felt inferior.
She felt she had no right to command Jiang Chen at all.
He was a Super Kage-level Contractor who could even kill Qin Hao.
Why would he listen to the commands of a lowly Tokubetsu Jonin Contractor like her?
"It looks like the sea beasts should be arriving soon..."
Just as Luo Yuqing was hesitating, Jiang Chen, who was watching the sea ahead, suddenly spoke.
"Yes, after the secret realm task is released, the nearby sea beasts will quickly gather towards Cloud Thunder Peak, and their numbers will continue to increase..."
Luo Yuqing nodded with a serious expression, then continued: "Jiang Chen, you have a flying summoning beast and can be unrestricted by the terrain. Could you come with me to contain the outer sea beasts later?"
"No need for such trouble. This task... will be over very soon."
Jiang Chen turned his head and glanced at Luo Yuqing indifferently.
Afterward.
Two flesh wings resembling beast claws extended from his back, transforming into a pair of terrifying wings.
"Oh my god~"
"Jiang Chen, how, how did you change your appearance?"
It was the first time Luo Yuqing had seen his curse mark state, and she was immediately startled.
Jiang Chen did not speak.
He spread his wings, and his body shot out like a cannonball, crossing the sky at an astonishing speed, finally stopping above the sea area outside Cloud Thunder Peak.
"Holy crap, a flight skill? He actually has a flight skill..."
"Damn it, we don't even have a flying summoning beast, and he can already fly on his own."
"The skill library of a Super Kage-level Contractor is truly enviable!"
"If I had a flight skill, I would wake up laughing even in my dreams."
Seeing Jiang Chen fly high with flapping wings, Luo Yuqing and the others were all incredibly envious.
You have to know.
In this world, a flying summoning beast was already an extremely rare existence.
Even those high-level Kage-level Contractors might not necessarily have a flying summoning beast.
Yet, they never expected.
That besides having a flying summoning beast, Jiang Chen actually possessed a flight skill himself.
Luo Yuqing's heart was a mix of complicated emotions, and she murmured bitterly: "Is this the foundation of a Super Kage-level Contractor? Things that others dream of, he can obtain so easily..."
She recalled the scene when she first met Jiang Chen.
At the time, she thought the other party was similar to herself.
The most valuable thing he had was also a flying summoning beast.
That was why she had taken the initiative to greet him.
Later, Jiang Chen had ignored her.
She even felt a bit annoyed in her heart, thinking the other person was too arrogant.
So what if he has a flying Summoning Beast?
Who doesn't have one?
However, thinking about it now.
Luo Yuqing just realized that the real clown was actually herself!
The flying Summoning Beast they treated as a treasure was perhaps, in his eyes, just an ordinary means of transportation.
"By the way, Jiang Chen said earlier that this mission would end very soon, what does that mean? Does he intend to kill all the sea beasts by himself?"
Chu Xuan suddenly asked.
Luo Yuqing frowned, "That's impossible, right? The core of this mission is to defend Cloud Thunder Canyon. Even if he can easily kill sea beasts, if a large number of them land, the mission will still fail."
"—Roar!"
At this moment, a deafening beast roar suddenly came from the distant sea, interrupting their train of thought.
Luo Yuqing's expression changed slightly, and she was just about to say something.
Unexpectedly, the next second.
An even louder peal of thunder descended from the sky, directly shrouding the entire Cloud Thunder Canyon.
That thunder echoed throughout the canyon, lingering endlessly, even drowning out the roars of those sea beasts!
Everyone looked up.
They saw that Jiang Chen's hands were already wrapped in a layer of dazzling lightning currents at some unknown moment.
And that terrifying thunder from earlier had actually emanated from the layer of thunderclouds behind him.
The clouds there were churning violently, with thunder rolling, as if something terrifying was about to break through the clouds.
