Chapter 28, 50 Earth Legend Points
As the news spread, top officials around the world spent a sleepless night.
As the morning sun shone once more on the dilapidated walls of Haijiao Base City, Jiang Ming was sitting in a transport fighter jet returning to Hongning Base City, his eyes closed as he sorted through the rapidly increasing notification messages flooding his screen.
[You displayed an artistic level of marksmanship on the battlefield, and were recognized on the spot by Jiang Fang, an instructor at the elite training camp, causing a sensation among all the trainees. Hongning Base City's Legendary Status +18]
[Jiang Fang publicly asked you for guidance on swordsmanship, and you responded by saying "we verify each other's techniques." This incident spread rapidly through student channels, causing a stir in the global martial arts community, and increasing Earth's Legendary Status by 22.]
Jiang Fang's request for advice will become a landmark event, sung by countless successors until it is forgotten by history. Earth's Legendary Status +15
[Your name has entered the list of Earth's strongest beings at the Intent level for the first time, ranking 57th, making you the youngest person to hold this record, and your Earth Legendary status +8]
Your strength has been recognized by martial artists worldwide, your global influence has greatly increased, and your Earth Legendary status has increased by 5.
】
Jiang Ming slowly opened his eyes. Outside the cabin window, the sea of clouds churned and the sun rose.
50 points of Earth Legendary Points!
Meanwhile, Jiang Ming gradually developed some vague ideas about how to acquire legendary status.
Legendary status may not necessarily mean that the stronger you are, the more you can obtain.
Legend, legend, what is a legend?
What others cannot do becomes a legend.
The strong can do things that ordinary people cannot, therefore the strong are legends.
But it's not only the strong who become legends; ordinary people can also have great legends.
A planetary-level powerhouse might casually kill a lord-level monster and only gain a few points of regional legend points.
However, if a warrior of the general level can overcome the odds and achieve a seemingly impossible reversal in a desperate situation, it may cause a greater shock and gain a higher level of legend.
Just like last night, his killing of the earth worm and clearing out the poisonous jellyfish certainly demonstrated strength far beyond that of ordinary people, but what truly ignited a global legend was the fact that Jiang Fang asked a nineteen-year-old student for advice on swordsmanship.
The "legendary" aspect of this event lies in the fact that it defied common sense and overturned conventional wisdom.
A seasoned expert with an outstanding reputation in the God of War circle and whose swordsmanship has reached the pinnacle, put aside all pride and reserve and bowed to a student old enough to be her child to ask for guidance.
This kind of behavior, which allows one to do what others cannot, or to do what others dare not, has an impact far exceeding that of a simple display of strength.
"Therefore, acquiring legendary status can also be about breaking conventions," creating miracles, and causing widespread and profound shocks."
Jiang Ming gradually understood.
"The strong are certainly more likely to create miracles, but the weak can also become legends if they can accomplish the incredible with wisdom, courage, or some kind of extreme spirit."
This explains why Jiang Ming obtained Earth Legendary status twice in the Trial Tower, but the second time, Jiang Ming clearly demonstrated stronger strength.
However, the legendary status it gained was not as high as when it was weaker.
"Jiang Ming".
A gentle voice sounded from the side.
Jiang Ming turned his head and saw that Jiang Fang had sat down next to him at some point.
The female teacher had changed into a clean training uniform, her long hair was tied into a neat ponytail, and she had a faint smile on her face. She was completely different from the "Moon Witch" on the battlefield yesterday.
"Teacher Jiang."
"After returning to the training camp, I would like to formally ask you for guidance on swordsmanship."
Jiang Fang spoke directly, her eyes clear.
When is a convenient time for you?
Jiang Ming thought for a moment.
"I might need to take care of some things first, since I've only just arrived at camp."
"I'll show you around."
Jiang Fang immediately responded.
"I am familiar with the functions of each floor of the Nine-Story Building, the rules for using the gravity room, the challenge room, the virtual space... I am familiar with all of these."
With me guiding you, you'll be able to understand quickly.
Jiang Ming nodded.
"it is good."
Jiang Fang's smile deepened.
"Then it's settled. Also..."
'
She paused, then lowered her voice.
"Inspector Liu arrived at Hongning Base City last night, presumably with a new contract for you. He should see you as soon as he gets back to the training camp."
Jiang Ming was not surprised. With his current net worth, there were definitely powerful people willing to pay a huge penalty for breach of contract on his behalf.
Therefore, the previous contract had little effect on Jiang Ming.
"I understand, thank you for reminding me, Teacher Jiang."
"You're welcome."
Jiang Fang looked out at the sea of clouds and said softly.
"I'm the one who should be saying thank you. Seven years... I've finally seen the road again."
Her profile appeared exceptionally soft in the morning light, and her pure devotion to martial arts made Jiang Ming feel the weight of his bow from yesterday once again.
The transport fighter jet landed at the elite training camp helipad at 8:00 AM.
The trainees descended the gangway one after another, many with excited expressions on their faces. For them, the battle at the Haijiao Base City was no different from a picnic or outing.
What they talk about most these days is the incident involving Jiang Fang and Jiang Ming yesterday.
Teachers Zhao Fang and Torres dismissed the students for a rest, and then Zhao Fang called Jiang Ming aside.
"Jiang Ming, Inspector Liu is waiting for you on the top floor of the Nine-Story Tower."
Zhao Fang's expression was somewhat complicated, his eyes filled with amazement and a hint of barely perceptible envy as he looked at Jiang Ming.
"Make the most of it."
-
"Thank you, Teacher Zhao."
Jiang Ming, carrying a gun case, headed straight for the Nine-Story Building.
Along the way, every student they encountered couldn't help but stare at them.
Many people whispered among themselves, their eyes lingering on him.
Clearly, news from the Sea Reef base city had already reached the training camp.
The elevator goes directly to the top floor.
When the metal door slid open, a very spacious conference room came into view.
The floor-to-ceiling windows offer a panoramic view of the entire training camp, with distant clouds churning and sunlight streaming through the gaps in the clouds, casting beams of light.
Only one person was sitting at the long table in the center of the conference room.
He was dressed in a white robe, with a refined and gentle appearance.
"Jiang Ming, please have a seat. My name is Liu He, and my nickname is Tuoge Da. You can call me Brother Liu."
Liu He said with a smile.
"Inspector Liu... this?"
Jiang Ming was somewhat puzzled by Liu He's attitude.
"With your talent, you will reach my level sooner or later. You don't need to call me Inspector. Besides, your current status is no lower than mine."
With a smile in his eyes and a gentle demeanor, Liu He pushed a paper contract towards him.
The cover is dark blue with gold foil embossing, and the logo of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy is displayed in the center.
Jiang Ming opened the contract with a puzzled look.
The moment I saw it, I immediately understood why Liu He said his current status was no less than that of the Inspector General.
"Article 1: The Limit Martial Arts Academy officially appoints martial artist Jiang Ming as its Honorary Inspector, with a status equivalent to a formal Inspector. This agreement is valid for life."
"Article Two; The Ultimate Martial Arts Academy will gift Glorious Inspector Jiang Ming a complete Black God Set, plus a choice of SS-grade weapons."
Clause 3: Annual operating funds of 50 billion.
"
This was less of a contract and more of a marriage certificate, with almost no requirements for Jiang Ming except for the restriction that he must not betray the Limit Martial Arts School.
The dozens of clauses and terms almost all describe the generous benefits offered by the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.
These generous benefits would take effect immediately upon Jiang Ming's signature, without any prior requirements.
