“She really did it all by herself?”
Even though the Tiger Clan Uncle had just narrated the details in full, Fei Ling still couldn’t believe it.
The strength of the Ruins Snake God was there for all to see.
Countless ambitious large hunting groups had died at its hands, yet now it had been killed single-handedly… That was just too surreal.
“This has already alarmed the Commander-in-Chief. He’s probably already on his way with the main force.”
“What a legendary two years,” Fei Ling sighed.
“Jiang Ke’er, Qing Yi, and this unknown master… The heavens have finally opened their eyes.”
“And what good does that do? Without Ascension, even the best talents are worthless,” the Tiger Clan Uncle ruthlessly poured cold water on her.

With her external body severely injured, Jiang Ke’er could only use her consciousness to find the System Dummy for training.
In the Refining Space, she couldn’t use the power of White Light, so the situation was still the same—she got dominated as usual.
“This airflow calculation ability is insane,” Jiang Ke’er marveled again.
“How does she do it? Not only does she calculate without any pressure, she can even spare the capacity to calculate the flow of battle…”
“Huh?” The Righteous Path System Little Girl was startled, looked at Jiang Ke’er, and seemed to want to say something but stopped.
“During the competition, I used Overload Calculation, increasing my calculation power at least several dozen times just to reach the point of being able to calculate the airflow. But she uses all of this like it’s instinct… Too strong.”
The Righteous Path little girl opened her mouth, her expression hesitant, as if she was wrestling with whether to say something.
“But as long as I’ve found the principle, that’s good. Next, as long as I train hard, I’ll be able to do it someday too,” Jiang Ke’er’s face showed longing.
“Although the goal is too far away, if I keep at it, one day…”
“…”
“Hey, I’m amazing, right?” Jiang Ke’er lay down exhaustedly on the grass, but her small face brimmed with pride.
“I cracked the secret of the System Dummy’s high-speed movement! I did it too! Even though the cost was high—I had to take medicine with huge side effects—but what the Dummy can do, I can do too! Awesome!”
The Righteous Path little girl finally couldn’t help but speak quietly:
“Actually, she’s an air ability user…”
“…What did you just say?” Jiang Ke’er stiffly turned her head.
“Nothing.”
“What air ability user?”
“It’s a superpower… Wind Control, Wind Resistance Ignorance, that kind of thing…”
“…”
Jiang Ke’er was silent for an entire night.
Inside her heart, the sound of a prairie dog kept echoing, echoing all night.
Then, two streams of aggrieved noodle-like tears flowed down weakly.
So sometimes the essence of a problem can be so simple and dull.
“Why does she have superpowers?” Jiang Ke’er asked sourly.
“When cultivators advance to the Five Elements Realm, there’s a chance of producing a symbiotic ‘Realm Force’. Your luck is relatively normal…” the Righteous Path System answered tactfully.
“So my superpower is just given for free?” Jiang Ke’er sobbed, pursed her lips, and stared at the Righteous Path little girl.
“Maybe it is, so you don’t need to give up on yourself. You also have superpowers, you know…” the Righteous Path little girl said quietly.
She felt offended!
With tears in her eyes and puffing with anger, Jiang Ke’er logged out of the Star Cluster Cultivation Field.
“Host, you haven’t visited our Hypergravity Training Ground even once,” the Villain System took the opportunity to kindly remind her.
“After recent battles, you should be able to feel that your physical fitness is too poor. Although your Cultivation Base is strong, the container that carries the base—your body—can’t quite keep up with the growth speed. The Hypergravity Training Ground can quickly help you make up for this weakness…”
“Will it train me into a big muscle hunk?” Jiang Ke’er asked in a hoarse voice.
“No, you will perfectly maintain an elegant figure,” the Villain System quickly explained.
“Then will it train me into a big… you know…?” Jiang Ke’er asked again.
“? Huh? What?” The Villain System was clearly a good child and didn’t understand at all.
“In short, your body will only improve in various indicators; there won’t be any random weird changes.”
“Oh, then forget it.”
“???”
That day, she still did not enter the Ancient God Hypergravity Training Ground.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Beast Clan Unrepentant Realm Hunting Group was named Ximen Ziqian.
Jiang Ke’er immediately remembered this name with a strong sense of déjà vu.
“Thank you, Senior,” Ximen Ziqian said, bowing slightly as soon as they met.
“What you have accomplished is of immense significance to the entire Realm of No Regret.”
“No need to be polite. I was forced into it,” Jiang Ke’er smiled. “It wanted to eat me, so I had to kill it. And I happened to fancy its taste too.”
What a peculiar story.
“You may not know what a great change you have inadvertently brought to the Realm of No Regret,” Ximen Ziqian said respectfully.
“Currently, all cultivators live cautiously in the Safe Zone. Even so, tens of thousands of cultivators die at the hands of the Ten Ruin Gods every year. If we can find a way to defeat the Ruin Gods through research… not only will it change the current era, but we can also transform the bodies of the Ruin Gods into our own power!”
‘Before that, I should probably go find trouble with those Ruin Gods first,’ Jiang Ke’er thought to herself.
“However, the Ruins Snake God is your prey, Senior. Naturally, disposal is up to you,” Ximen Ziqian said sincerely.
“I only hope that you can leave some research materials for the Investigation Team.”
“Hmm…” Jiang Ke’er counted on her fingers, deep in thought, muttering to herself, “Stew 150 grams times two, stir-fry 200 grams times two, barbecue 300 grams times two, salt-baked…”
Muttering and calculating for a while, Jiang Ke’er looked up and smiled.
“No need to go through so much trouble. I’ll take 25 pounds of meat, a small piece of gall, a small piece of heart, and one zhang of skin.”
The Ruins Snake God weighed hundreds of tons, and every part was a rare material. Jiang Ke’er only asking for that little truly surprised Ximen Ziqian.
“How can that be?” Ximen Ziqian showed a look of shame.
“This is your loot, Senior.”
“Snake meat has way too many parasites. I don’t really like it. I just want to try it for fun,” Jiang Ke’er replied.
You really intend to eat it!
Ximen Ziqian was caught between laughter and tears.
He reiterated, “This is a Ruin God. Senior, are you truly willing to just hand it over like that?”
Although she didn’t like snake meat, Jiang Ke’er was not the type to give away precious items for free…
But as a Pill Alchemist and Junior Artifact Refiner, she could tell the quality of materials at a glance.
After the Ruins Snake God’s “Spirit Essence” had been absorbed by her, the body materials were only at the level of a common Python-Type Seventh-Tier Ruin Beast.
She had already collected a large pile of such materials from the Nine Palaces Merchant Association Treasury, some even more powerful than the Ruins Snake God’s body parts, so she had no interest in them.
However, to be cautious, she still said, “When you dissect it, remember to send me a complete recording of the dissection. If you find anything valuable during the dissection, I’ll still take it.”
“You are too generous,” Ximen Ziqian felt anxious for her.
“Aren’t you afraid that I might find something and secretly keep it for myself?”
“Between my goodwill and a piece of material, which one is more important, you should know very well,” Jiang Ke’er said with a smile.
“Alright, let’s stop talking about this. I have other things to trouble you with.”
“Please speak, Senior.” Ximen Ziqian bowed slightly.
“I want to join the Rescue Team,” Jiang Ke’er said.
