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

Instances of this much Jiyu Essence have shown up before in sub-halls boasting merits beyond the fourth level.

Yet, for sub-halls stuck below the fourth level, stumbling upon such hefty Jiyu Essences happens far too seldom.

Earth Spirit Hall enforces a strict rule: whenever a massive haul of Jiyu Essence turns up, the steward in the lower sub-hall has to report it right away.

The green-robed steward had specifically called in Linglong Fairy for this.

By now, as Linglong Fairy tuned into the green-robed steward's words, the pair had reached Yang Chen's spot.

The green-robed steward grinned broadly and announced, "Linglong Fairy, meet Brother Yang Chen—the very one I told you about earlier."

Linglong Fairy flashed a captivating smile, "Young Master Yang Chen, Steward Fu has been singing your praises the whole journey here. Never imagined you'd turn out this youthful."

"Linglong Fairy, you're too kind. I merely appear a tad younger," Yang Chen replied.

Linglong Fairy knew it went deeper than that, given their cultivation prowess allowed peering into truths. A single look revealed Yang Chen's true youthfulness.

She simply couldn't pinpoint how long he'd been cultivating.

In a gentle tone, Linglong Fairy suggested, "Care to recap what you reported earlier, Yang Chen? It'll help me assist you more effectively."

Yang Chen paused briefly before responding, "I've wrapped up nearly all the tasks in the Spirit Fire World that yield Jiyu Essence. Feel free to verify them, Linglong Fairy."

At those words, Linglong Fairy froze, her eyes flaring with astonishment.

Wasn't this Yang Chen downright monstrous? He'd single-handedly cleared every doable task in an entire realm?

She drew in a sharp breath, then beamed enchantingly, "Of course, I'll verify it immediately for you, Young Master Yang Chen."

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

The verification results stunned the growing crowd of spectators, drawing even more onlookers.

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

Gradually, they grasped just how extraordinary Yang Chen truly was.

Lu Tao, in particular, started feeling a chill of dread. He'd only lashed out moments ago because he refused to believe a rookie he'd always dismissed could climb so high!

But reality hit hard now...

Linglong Fairy initially doubted her eyes, yet soon confirmed Yang Chen hadn't overstated a thing. Everything checked out as fact!

He'd genuinely finished most tasks available in the Spirit Fire World!

Pretty much every key Jiyu Essence mission fell to him.

Amid her profound shock, Linglong Fairy murmured softly, "Brother Yang Chen, you've left me utterly astonished. From your Spirit Fire World venture, you've gathered a whopping 146,300 Jiyu Essences. Shall we store them, or would you prefer I boost your merits with them?"

Hearing it totaled just 146,000, Yang Chen shook his head faintly, a touch of dissatisfaction crossing his face.

After all, it fell short of the haul from Wan Tianyu's exclusive mission.

If word spread that 140,000 left him wanting more, it might enrage these entry-level cultivators.

The Heaven-separated Realm folks gasped wide-eyed at Linglong Fairy's declaration.

"One hundred... forty-six thousand?"

"Impossible!"

"Snagging 146,000 Jiyu Essences solo in one trip? Heavens, even a full squad on assignment wouldn't haul that much."

How did folks normally snag their Jiyu Essence?

Teams ventured out, pooling tens of thousands per run. Then they'd divvy it up among members, building stocks bit by bit.

For cultivators at fourth- or third-level merits, hitting that mark could drag on for tens of thousands of years.

Fifth- or sixth-level merit holders faced even steeper climbs.

Yet Yang Chen?

In mere months, he'd raked in over 100,000 merits at once.

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

Over 100,000...

Yang Chen didn't just hit the merit jumps they'd chased forever—he blew past them!

Regret twisted Lu Tao's gut like sour grapes. Had he heeded Mo Wenfeng and let Yang Chen tag along, they could've nailed that mission ages ago and grabbed a slice of the rewards.

With Yang Chen as this fiend who netted over 100,000 Jiyu Essences in a single push, wouldn't aiding their quest be a breeze?

"What perks come with merit upgrades?" Even though boosting merits was a no-brainer, Yang Chen probed further, "And storing Jiyu Essence—what does that do?"

Linglong Fairy smiled at his query. Usually, she'd skip such beginner stuff, but here she'd indulge him.

Special perks, indeed.

In a soft voice, Linglong Fairy clarified, "Raising your merits unlocks superior training spots in the Ancient Divine Realm—something you're likely familiar with. Plus, top merit holders gain entry to exclusive secret realms crafted just for the Ancient Divine Realm."

"Secret realms?" Yang Chen echoed, intrigued.

"Exactly. These realms, dug up and shaped by the Ancient Divine Realm across eons, offer all sorts of perks. They deliver huge boosts to any cultivator. If you opt to upgrade, I'll detail them for you soon. And hitting fourth-level merit lets you seek me out anytime for assignments—like realm hops or reports—skipping lines entirely. I'll even share targeted task intel." Linglong Fairy laid out the advantages step by step.

Envy rippled through the crowd.

All craved that fourth-level merit leap and beyond.

Why not?

The perks were unbeatable.

In those bottom-tier sub-halls, everything meant lining up and reading the stewards' moods.

But crossing into fourth-level and up flipped the script. Stunning Linglong Fairy handled things personally, smoothing every path. Who wouldn't crave that ease?

Above all, those secret realms beckoned like a dream for every soul there.

The secret realms sparked Yang Chen's curiosity right then.

Back in the Spirit Realm, he'd caught whispers of them, never dreaming he'd brush up against such in the Ancient Divine Realm. He pondered how these stacked against the ones from Lingnan Two Realms.

Mind buzzing with that, Yang Chen skipped other options and declared, "Use these Jiyu Essences to max out my merit upgrades."
