Squad Leader Challenge

Chapter 32 Squad Leader Challenge

News of Jaeger's return to the Crescent Moon Mountains and his impending challenge to Squad Leader Adolf quickly spread throughout the Bauhinia Army headquarters.

The headquarters, which was not very busy to begin with, suddenly became lively as the members of the Bauhinia Army discussed the upcoming battle.

"It seems that Jag is confident of victory this time that he has returned to take on the challenge."

The scene of Jaeger's crazy challenge against the six-star demon during the squad leader selection is still vivid in everyone's mind. Many members of the Purple Thorn Army believe that after hundreds of years, Jaeger's challenge to the squad leader again must be a sure thing.

"That's not necessarily true. Jag is challenging Adolf, who has been a squad leader for many years and must have a lot of tricks up his sleeve."

"I also think that Jag might not win. More than 300 years ago, Jag did have the strength of a five-star demon, but he was just an ordinary five-star demon. He was still a long way from a six-star demon. No matter how talented he is, he is at most an ordinary six-star demon now, comparable to Adolf. I think the outcome is hard to say."

"That's right. To secure a victory against Adolf, one would need to be at least a strong six-star demon, or close to a seven-star demon."

"Indeed, it's already a terrifying rate of progress to go from a five-star demon to an ordinary six-star demon in just over three hundred years. To say that Jag is now close to a seven-star demon, I would never believe it even if you beat me to death."

"Me too."

Most members of the Bauhinia Army felt that this battle would be a close contest.

Generally speaking, fusing three profound mysteries makes one an ordinary six-star demon. If one has begun the overall fusion of four profound mysteries and created a corresponding ultimate move, or if one's true form is a divine beast with innate supernatural abilities, then one is considered a relatively strong six-star demon. If the overall fusion of four profound mysteries has reached its final bottleneck and one has other special means, one can be considered to be close to the strength of a seven-star demon.

Most of the Zijing Army members felt that Jag's strength was at most that of an ordinary six-star demon, similar to Adolf's.

While the Bauhinia Army headquarters was engaged in heated discussions about the impending World War I, Jaeger sought out an old friend.

"Jeg, how come you're cultivating so fast?" Talib cursed.

He felt resentful when he learned that Jag was already a six-star demon.

When he first joined the Purple Thorn Army, everyone was a mid-level god. He is still a mid-level god now, but Juggernaut is already a six-star demon!

In fact, it is quite normal for a mid-level god to not break through to a high-level god in more than three hundred years. In hell, there are many who spend thousands or tens of thousands of years to break through from a mid-level god to a high-level god, and many beings cannot become high-level gods in their entire lives.

To become a member of the Purple Thorn Army, Talib was already considered very talented, but unfortunately, Jag was no ordinary being.

"Haha, Talib, let's not talk about cultivation, let's drink."

Jag took out the fine wine "Dream Blossom" from his spatial ring.

"I brought this all the way from Menglan City, let's drink to our hearts' content tonight!"

Although the battle is tomorrow, the divine body of a god-level expert is no longer affected by alcohol. Fine food and wine are enjoyable, and no matter how much one drinks, one will not get drunk.

"Okay, let's drink!"

The two of them each drank a bottle, and Talib couldn't contain his curiosity.

"Jeg, are you confident about tomorrow's challenge?"

Jag smiled, took a sip of his drink, and said, "You'll find out tomorrow."

"Damn, they're still keeping us in suspense!"

"Ha ha."

the next day.

Bauhinia Valley.

The area above and below was filled with members of the Bauhinia Army, including more than a dozen captains, all of whom were very curious about Jeger's current strength.

Surya was the witness to this battle.

He glanced at Jag and Adolf, who had already arrived, and said, "It's about time, let's begin."

Both Jag and Adolf nodded and floated together in mid-air.

Adolf was a giant man over three meters tall, with messy blond hair like dry weeds.

"Jeg, come on, let me see if you really have the strength of a six-star demon!"

Adolf flipped his hand and took out a giant yellow hammer, then slammed it down in Jag's direction.

"Buzz"

Yellow ripples spread from the surface of the giant hammer, seemingly slowly, but in just one breath, they approached Jag.

"call"

Jag also made his move. All the light within a hundred-meter radius around him disappeared, and the space seemed to twist and rotate, forming a black vortex from which countless black tentacles as thick as vines shot out.

Yellow ripples collide with black tentacles.

The black tentacles shattered silently into dust, but there were too many of them, and they kept emerging from the black vortex, completely dissolving the yellow ripples.

"Not bad, you've got some skills. Try this move on me!"

"boom"

Adolf had appeared above Jeg at some point, radiating a terrifying and heavy aura, like a giant mountain descending from the sky.

He gripped the giant hammer with both hands and slammed it down with tremendous force. The space itself seemed unable to withstand the attack, tearing open several tiny spatial cracks around the hammer.

"The pulse of the earth is mysterious, the element of earth is mysterious, and power is mysterious."

Jag saw the profound mystery of the earth's laws incorporated into Adolf's move and dared not underestimate it.

"Snap"

He flipped his hand and took out a long black whip, which he then swung at Adolf.

The black vortex around his body suddenly contracted onto the long whip, which instantly transformed into a giant black snake.

The black snake's surface was also emitting countless black mists, which condensed into black ribbons that surrounded the snake.

"Shadow Serpent!"

This is an attack technique created by Juggernaut by fusing three profound elements: darkness, evil, and devouring.

The black serpent crashed into the giant hammer in Adolf's hand.

With a loud bang, Adolf was sent flying several meters backward, while the black giant snake collapsed and dissipated into dark elements. Jugg flew dozens of meters backward, his face turning pale.

"The attack of the Earth Law is indeed stronger than that of the Dark Law," Jage sighed inwardly.

Although both involved the fusion of three profound mysteries, he was at a disadvantage in a direct confrontation.

"Jeg, you've reached the strength of a six-star demon, but you're still lacking when it comes to direct attacks," Adolf grinned.

The Zijing Army members watching frowned.

"Why is Jaggi thinking of competing with Adolf in attack?"

"He's bound to lose if he tries to attack Jaeger; he needs to change his tactics."

"Don't worry, Jag specifically requested the challenge, so he probably has more tricks up his sleeve."

"Look, Jag has changed!"

In everyone's eyes, Jugg's figure flashed, and a Jugg dressed in a yellow robe flew out from his body.

The yellow-robed Jeg, wielding a massive black sword, slashed at Adolf.

"Earth God clone?"

Everyone sensed the aura emanating from Huangpao Jiege and recognized his true identity.

"Use a divine clone to provide cover, then seize the opportunity to strike?"

"That's too naive. This tactic relies on being able to withstand the frontal assault, but how can a weak divine clone possibly stop Adolf?"

"Has he lost his mind? Isn't he afraid Adolf will smash his divine avatar to pieces with a single hammer blow?"

The onlookers shook their heads, clearly not optimistic about Jage's strategy, and Suria, who was also witnessing it, frowned deeply.
