ACSP: Chapter 155: Instantly Defeating a Kage-level in One Glance!
Jiang Chen took the phone from Song She and glanced at it.
He discovered it was a video message about 'Guild Recruitment'.
Inside were scenes of his previous battles found online.
Jiang Chen began to watch with great interest.
These videos included clips of him soloing the Three-Tails by the seaside last time.
There were also montages of him killing Old Granny Yan and Qin Hao in Kang City.
There was even a video of him taking on Shukaku alone in the Forest of Death secret realm earlier.
At the very end of the video was a personal photo of him.
It was taken very handsomely and looked very real, without any signs of being photoshopped.
Then came a row of eye-catching recruitment information:
["Heavenly Court" is broadly recruiting talents. The guild leader, Jiang Chen, is one of only two Super Kage-level Contractors in the Great Xia Kingdom. His potential is limitless, his strength is heaven-defying, and his battle record can be checked online. Most importantly, he is currently single!]
Those last seven words were intentionally enlarged twofold.
In the entire recruitment message, these seven words were the most prominent.
After watching this video...
Jiang Chen finally understood why so many women had come to join the guild today.
It turned out they were all here for him.
"Actually, I just posted this video online for fun at first. I didn't expect it to go viral instantly and even be pushed to the top of the trending searches."
Li Dala worried that Jiang Chen would blame him for this, so he quickly explained.
To his surprise, Jiang Chen waved his hand dismissively upon hearing this. "Your recruitment method is quite novel. However, you should know what kind of people can be recruited and what kind cannot, right?"
Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't blame him, Li Dala finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He guaranteed solemnly, "Don't worry, Lei Li told us the guild's recruitment standards before. Strength doesn't matter, but character must pass the test. Those who only know how to flatter are not wanted, those who are not motivated are not wanted, and those who fear death are not wanted. I will strictly follow these recruitment standards."
"Good, as long as you remember."
Jiang Chen patted Li Dala's shoulder with satisfaction and continued, "I'm going to the East District to attend an auction now. Do you two want to come along?"
Upon hearing this, Li Dala immediately jumped up in excitement. "Of course I want to go! It's said there are many good items at this auction. I want to go and see if I can buy something I like."
Song She also nodded. "The General Chamber of Commerce indeed prepared some good things this time. It's good to go and have a look."
"Alright, then let's set off now."
Jiang Chen turned around, prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, at this moment...
Song She suddenly spoke up to stop him. "Wait a moment."
Jiang Chen turned back. "What? Is there something else?"
Song She hesitated for a moment. "I want to see just how strong you've become now."
The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth curled up. "How do you want to see it?"
Song She's eyes flickered. "It's simple. Fight me!"
Li Dala didn't expect Song She to propose a duel with Jiang Chen at a time like this, so he quickly stepped forward to advise, "Song She, are you crazy? The auction is about to start. Why are you fighting now?"
"It's fine. It won't waste much time anyway."
Jiang Chen looked at Song She indifferently, and his pupils instantly transformed into Straight Tomoe.
A blood-red color shrouded everything.
—Mangekyo Sharingan!
Song She felt a terrifying sense of pressure and was about to retreat quickly.
But in the next second...
He discovered that the scenery around him had completely changed.
Space was distorted, and darkness loomed.
Then, a hideous-looking, giant Purple Skeleton appeared before his eyes.
"Oh no, I've fallen into a genjutsu..."
"—Release!"
Song She formed hand seals, wanting to forcibly break the genjutsu.
To his surprise, in the next moment...
That giant Purple Skeleton reached out its palm and grabbed him.
Song She felt as if his body was held by an invisible force, instantly losing control.
He knew this was a genjutsu created by Jiang Chen using the [Mangekyo Sharingan].
But at this moment, he didn't even have the strength to break this genjutsu anymore.
What terrifying Ocular Power.
I was clearly on guard just now.
I didn't expect to still fall for his trick.
This kid's current Ocular Power has likely become several times stronger compared to before.
"—Thud!"
When Jiang Chen withdrew the genjutsu, Song She couldn't hold back and directly knelt on one knee.
Large beads of sweat inadvertently slid down from his forehead.
Song She instinctively reached out to touch his back.
It was already soaked.
All cold sweat.
"Song She, what are you doing? Didn't you want to duel Jiang Chen? Why did you suddenly kneel down? What are you playing at?"
Li Dala looked at Song She with a dazed expression, his face full of astonishment.
In his eyes, as soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, Song She knelt directly on the ground.
It was too fast.
He didn't even know what had just happened.
Song She stood up awkwardly.
He didn't answer Li Dala's question.
Because it was too embarrassing.
He had originally wanted to test Jiang Chen's strength.
To see how strong this newly promoted Super Kage-level Contractor actually was.
But who could have imagined...
That with just a single glance from the opponent, he was directly dragged into the Sharingan's illusion world.
Too terrifying.
It was truly too terrifying.
Defeating a Level 94 Kage-level Contractor with a single glance.
Who would believe it if this were told?
"He might be too tired from his recent research. In that case, let's save our sparring for later."
Jiang Chen didn't embarrass Song She, leaving him a final bit of face.
This made Song She very grateful.
After all, there were still many people around.
If word got out that he had been insta-killed by Jiang Chen with just a single glance...
Where would he hide his face?
...
Kang City, East District.
General Chamber of Commerce Building.
Today, almost every Contractor with a modicum of strength or capital within Kang City—whether they were solo players, families, or guilds—had gathered here.
At this moment, the open space outside the Chamber of Commerce building was already packed to capacity.
Looking out, one could only see a dense, black mass of heads.
They had all come to attend this auction.
Because of the massive foot traffic today...
Many business-minded people had set up small stalls outside the venue early on, preparing to clear out their inventory or trade for other items.
"Lei Li, are you freaking playing with me?"
Cai Kun stood in the middle of the crowd, looking at the various passersby around him with an extremely ugly expression.
In the morning, in order to fulfill the promise Jiang Chen had made to Cai Kun last time, Lei Li had brought him here very early.
Initially, Cai Kun was quite touched.
He felt that Lei Li had kept him in mind.
But after arriving here...
He realized he had been tricked by this bastard Lei Li.
Because the other party had no intention of building a concert stage for him at all.
According to that guy's idea, he just wanted him to sing directly on this patch of open ground.
Anyway, there were people everywhere now.
It was all the same whether there was a stage or not.
