Chapter 2344: Chapter 2348: You’re In
"Senior brother, once the Jade Token’s seal is lifted, immediately take Task No. 3 and No. 127."
"Senior Lei Kai, after the seal on the Jade Token is opened, pick Task No. 16 and No. 325."
"Zhi Rou, in a moment..."
The voices of three people echoed in the minds of Yun Tao and his two companions.
While Ouyang Song was inciting everyone’s emotions, Jiang Chen had already gone through all the tasks, quickly making comparisons and selecting the best tasks for each realm.
After distributing the team tasks, Jiang Chen once again sent a message to Fire Phoenix and the others, informing them of the best individual tasks suited for them.
There were several team tasks for each level, but the points awarded for each varied. Once a team task was completed, all members could receive the point reward. Hence, Jiang Chen didn’t have everyone compete for the team tasks.
Yun Tao and the others shivered slightly, their eyes suddenly burning with anticipation, fully understanding that Jiang Chen must have already deciphered the seal, and the tasks he selected were surely the most suitable and rewarding.
"Alright, no more idle talk, I’ll now unlock the seal on the Jade Token for everyone!"
Ouyang Song had already been watching Jiang Chen ever since he broke the seal. As he sensed Jiang Chen conveying messages to Yun Tao and the others, he immediately understood and loudly announced it.
With a wave of his hand, a stream of five hundred rainbow lights flew out from Ouyang Song’s hand, hitting the Identity Jades held by all the students. Although Jiang Chen had already cracked the seal, Ouyang Song still needed to perform this for appearances.
Otherwise, if people found out that Jiang Chen had accessed the tasks first, it would be hard to explain.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Five hundred Jade Tokens burst into a dazzling light.
The students who passed the assessment quickly infused their Divine Sense into them.
Without a second thought, Yun Tao and the others followed Jiang Chen’s instructions, not even looking at the task contents, and directly claimed the tasks.
"Haha, I got the team task!"
"I got one too!"
"I didn’t get it!"
"Damn, who was so fast! This was a ten thousand points reward task!"
Shouts echoed, filled with joy and frustration.
"Alright!"
After a while, Ouyang Song spoke loudly: "All students who received team tasks, come stand in front of me!"
Tap, tap, tap!
A sequence of footsteps sounded as twenty students came forward from the crowd and stood before Ouyang Song.
"Wow, Changlin Academy took four team tasks!?"
"How were they so fast?"
"Could there be something fishy?"
"What are you talking about, with so many elders here, how could there be a trick!"
"They probably didn’t even look at the tasks before claiming them. It will be fun if they can’t complete them. Their points are pretty high, and if they get eliminated for failing a task, they’ll regret it deeply!"
Seeing Jiang Chen and the others receiving the team tasks, many started whispering, with some even maliciously speculating and cursing.
"Lucky little ones, you have the right to choose your team members independently, but this requires that others are willing to team up with you. Please announce the task number and requirements of the team tasks you claimed!"
Ouyang Song looked at Jiang Chen with a meaningful smile and spoke lightly.
Noticing Ouyang Song’s gaze, Jiang Chen lightly nodded with a smile, a grateful expression flashing in his eyes.
He had no thought of hiding it from Ouyang Song, he simply believed that Ouyang Song wouldn’t expose him, which turned out to be true.
"I claimed Task No. 3, requiring a team of five Late Divine Infant Realm students!"
"I claimed..."
"I claimed..."
The twenty students who got the team tasks each revealed their task numbers and team requirements.
The other students began checking the team tasks in their Jade Tokens, contemplating which team they should join.
"Alright, now you all need to make a mutual selection!"
After everyone had reported their task numbers, Ouyang Song loudly announced again, casting an appreciative glance at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen didn’t claim all the highest-point tasks in all four levels of team tasks but rather chose the tasks most likely to be completed in order to gain high points.
Some of the tasks were quite difficult for the students permitted to take them, and such tasks could easily turn into traps.
Jiang Chen didn’t let Yun Tao and the others claim such tasks; their initial points were already among the highest of all students. In this task evaluation, while aiming for high points, it’s essential to seek stability.
However, he claimed a task himself that seemed impossible for someone at the Mid Divine Infant Realm to complete!
"Haha, Jiang Chen actually took Task No. 44! He has to face a Divine Infant Realm Peak cultivator!"
"Is he really brave enough to take it, or does he think he’s floating on air after his success in the Demonic Beast Forest?"
"That’s a ruthless bandit, not something our students can compare with!"
"Serves him right! For eliminating members from our academy, let’s see how he completes the task this time!"
"That’s a bandit camp in the Abandoned Plains, can he really take it on!"
After everyone had reviewed all the team tasks, students from Qing Hai Academy and other Small Alliances began mocking loudly.
The task Jiang Chen accepted was a bandit suppression mission, and his target was the bandit leader in an area known as the Abandoned Plains, a Divine Infant Realm Peak cultivator.
There were several Divine Infant Realm leaders as well, and such a lineup couldn’t be challenged by a group of academy students!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
After reviewing all the tasks, everyone quickly moved towards the team leader of their desired task.
"Jiang Chen, can I join your team?"
A shout reached Jiang Chen’s ears, and he turned around, slightly astonished.
Standing in front of him was someone from Fengchen Academy.
"Fengchen Academy, Feng Qingyang."
Seeing Jiang Chen look over, Feng Qingyang introduced himself.
Jiang Chen carefully examined Feng Qingyang and was somewhat surprised.
Such pure Dao of Wind aura, Feng Qingyang’s affinity with the Dao of Wind must be top-tier!
Feng Qingyang wore a light green robe, with a subtle pure Dao of Wind aura surrounding him, causing his clothes to slightly ripple. This was Feng Qingyang showcasing his abilities, naturally wanting to display his strengths for selection.
Seeing Feng Qingyang’s clear eyes, Jiang Chen lightly nodded: "Alright, you’re in!"
Feng Qingyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, retracting his Great Dao Aura, worried that Jiang Chen might refuse him due to animosity towards Fengchen Academy. Now, he was reassured.
