Jiang Kai walked over to the Ironbone Savage Bull and looked at the pile of ashes on the ground, sinking into thought.
"It's over, the burned corpse is gone… looks like Sinfire Overwhelming Heaven really can't be used too often, otherwise the losses are just too big!"
After collecting the lord's treasure chest, Jiang Kai rummaged through it for a while but didn't find anything decent.
"Just some super tier five materials. I'll put them in the guild later." Jiang Kai looked around and muttered, "First, I should find a place to take a bath."
After that, Jiang Kai wandered around the nearby area for a few more days, wanting to find an Ironbone Savage Bull King to test himself.
But strangely enough, before, he would see a king-level one from time to time. Now that he actually wanted to look for one, he couldn't find any no matter what.
After thinking about it, Jiang Kai figured it was probably because this area was too close to the edge of the Huaxia territory.
Just then, a group of Ironbone Savage Bulls suddenly appeared around Jiang Kai, staring at him fiercely.
Jiang Kai frowned slightly. Leading them was a lord, along with some war generals and elites.
He scanned them with the Fearless One.
[Beasts, not worth mentioning.]
"So blunt…" Jiang Kai shook his head.
This lord had left its nest to hunt, and Jiang Kai had no idea where its treasure chest would be left behind. He immediately lost interest in them.
"Hey, you guys should go. I've eaten too much beef these past few days," Jiang Kai advised kindly.
But how could these savage bulls possibly listen? With a single roar from the lord bull, they charged straight at Jiang Kai.
This time, Jiang Kai didn't even use Sinfire Overwhelming Heaven. He directly used Chase for Life and easily killed them, obtaining more than a dozen "Ironbone Savage Bull Corpses."
"So boring." Jiang Kai complained while picking up the corpse cards. "Oh right, Ghost Star leveled up… I almost forgot about that."
When he thought about Ghost Star having upgraded to the more difficult Transcendent stage, Jiang Kai felt a bit worried at first. But then he thought about it again and realized there really wasn't much for him to worry about.
On the current map, the strongest things were map-level bosses. If he really ran into one, he actually wanted to try whether he could solo a map boss.
In other words, unless Jiang Kai ran into a legendary boss even stronger than the Lord of Guardians, he could already walk sideways in the unknown regions.
"Sigh, Ghost Star keeps leveling up. What kind of leveling is this? It's getting less and less challenging." Jiang Kai let out a sigh.
That said, he still needed to go back and take a look.
One reason was to see what the current situation was like. Another was that he really should make a trip to the Tower of Life. After all, having just changed professions, he didn't even have a single level six Rebirth Badge on him.
Better safe than sorry. It was best to keep level six Rebirth Badges on him.
Thinking this, Jiang Kai packed away the corpse cards and headed back.
...
On the way back from the unknown region to the safe zone, Jiang Kai noticed that there were hardly any people to be seen in the wild anymore. Even on the Taiping Mountain Path map, there were only a few people training.
Before, it used to be teams of five going deep into Taiping Mountain Path to train. Now, only near the safe zone did people move around, and their teams easily numbered twenty or thirty people!
It seemed that after entering the Transcendent stage, people had become much more cautious about training in the wild.
When he returned to the Main God Guild, He Shishi was in her office, staring at a pile of lists with a headache.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Kai walked over and curiously looked at the lists.
He Shishi looked up. When she saw it was Jiang Kai, she didn't care about the lists anymore and stood up angrily. "You still know how to come back! Ghost Star already leveled up, and you're still running around in the wild!"
"Uh… I went out to take care of something. Judging by your temper, what problem did you run into?"
Looking at Jiang Kai smiling so cheerfully, He Shishi knew that getting mad at him was useless. She sighed. "The guild has already upgraded to a B-rank guild."
"Huh? That's a good thing."
He Shishi shook her head. "But we have too few War Gods. When going out to train now, it's best to have a War God-level powerhouse with the team. Otherwise, if we run into someone above War General level and someone dies, it'll be a big problem!"
"And even if there is a War God, I still don't feel at ease. If they die, the loss would be too huge!"
"Also, we have to wait two more months before it's our turn to enter the Tower of Life. During this time, people in our guild won't be able to go out to train at all."
Jiang Kai frowned. "Why do we have to wait two months?"
"For a B-rank guild, this is already considered early," He Shishi said. "Most B-rank guilds have to wait until three months later. We were arranged at the very front among B-rank guilds only because we received care from the military."
Jiang Kai thought for a moment and said, "Right, if a level four profession dies, can I use a level five Rebirth Badge to revive them?"
"It should work, right? After all, it's a higher-level Rebirth Badge."
Jiang Kai nodded. "Then that makes things easy." As he spoke, he took out twenty Rebirth Badges from his card pouch and placed them on He Shishi's desk.
He Shishi had never even seen what a Rebirth Badge looked like before. When she saw Jiang Kai place these delicately crafted badges emitting a faint glow in front of her, she looked at him strangely.
"What's this?"
"Level five Rebirth Badges."
"Level five Rebirth Badges? You… where did you get so many?!"
"My rewards," Jiang Kai said as if it were only natural.
"Impossible! You only had sixteen in total, you gave twelve to the military, and now you're taking out twenty more. You're lying!" He Shishi was on the verge of collapsing. Was this guy bullying her for not knowing how to do basic addition and subtraction?
"Come on, don't worry about that. First, verify whether high-level badges can revive lower-level professions. Once that's confirmed, use these twenty first. If it's not enough, I'll help you get more later."
"Oh… and there are seven more. You, Chunlan and the other three, Zhao Tiequan, and Ouyang Yi each get one."
He Shishi stared at Jiang Kai like she was looking at a monster.
He took out seven more!
"You… you make Rebirth Badges or something?"
"I told you not to worry about it. Just use these for now. In the future, don't carry things you can't handle all by yourself. If I can help, I'll do my best to sort it out for you."
He Shishi's gaze softened all at once. People always said Jiang Kai was a hands-off boss, but without Jiang Kai, how could there even be a Main God Guild?
Even if he didn't manage things, with Jiang Kai around, she inexplicably felt at ease.
"Oh right, I'm going to the Tower of Life in a bit, and then I'll probably log off for a while."
He Shishi rolled her eyes at Jiang Kai. "I knew you couldn't stay put! The military came looking for me. They hope you can go to the Tower of Life as soon as possible. They said that the better your performance in the Tower of Life, the more information you can get!"
"What information?" Jiang Kai had been out in the wild for over a month and didn't know what was happening outside.
So He Shishi explained the information currently in the hands of the Huaxia military and roughly talked about the international situation as well.
"At present, most of the information has basically been figured out, but…"
"Although there's a trend of increased cooperation between countries now, the competition is still intense. Huashen and the others hope you can give it a try. Even if you can't compare with the super sevens, they think you have hope of surpassing many strong super sixes."
"Anyone who appears in the top 200 of the Heaven Rankings gets extra Rebirth Badges. Even if it takes longer or the badge level is a bit lower, it doesn't matter. Rebirth Badges are just too scarce right now."
Jiang Kai frowned. "The better the performance, the more information you get? I'm actually more interested in the information."
He Shishi looked at Jiang Kai and asked tentatively, "You're logging off… are you going to take part in the first battle of the Beast God at the War God Hall?"
Jiang Kai nodded. "Mainly to go see Yingzi. I haven't gone to see that girl in a long time. She's probably cursing me in her heart already. And then, while I'm at it, I'll go see what the Beast God is like."
He Shishi suddenly looked nervous. "You… you need to be extra careful. The Beast God battlefield isn't like Ghost Star. That place isn't for fun!"
Jiang Kai smiled faintly. "I will."
Hu Yan and Ruan Yu had gone to the regional War God Hall, apparently to ask about joining the War God Hall.
Jiang Kai didn't wait for them. He led a white tiger mount out from the stables, left District Sixteen, and headed straight toward Huaxia City.
