Chapter 716 The Great Void Annihilation Spear

On the StarNet, the audience fell into a hushed discussion filled with curiosity and surprise.

"Wow, that speed, that burst of power... this is interesting."

"In that instant, there were no unnecessary movements; it was pure overwhelming power through physical superiority and martial intent. Is this a rookie who just finished his placement matches? Are young people this strong these days?"

Soon, well-informed people began explaining the information on the public chat:

"You're ignorant, aren't you? This is the rookie champion of this year's 'Martial God's Fire Seed Tournament,' 777, who reportedly achieved the only SSS-level rating!"

However, hearing the "SSS rating" didn't cause much of a stir; instead, many seasoned veterans shook their heads dismissively.

"Tch, I thought it was something special. SSS-level ratings are rare, but in the entire main star region, every ten or eight years a few exceptionally talented individuals emerge."

"Exactly. Not to mention Ji Taixu from afar, even the giant king of the Yao family thirty years ago, and the moon maiden of the Ying family ten years ago, weren't they all at least SSS-level? Compared to them, 777 feels a bit lacking. It is fast, but otherwise it's just average and nothing special."

While everyone was making comments, they casually clicked on "777's" profile page, wanting to find out which family had nurtured this prodigy.

next second.

The atmosphere on the entire channel changed.

"Huh? All of them are question marks?!"

Seeing the screen filled with "???" and "Insufficient permissions to view", the audience immediately sat up straight.

"All of them are due to insufficient permissions? They can't even find the star system or family it belongs to?"

"It's not just StarNet; I just used my connections to check offline, and I can't find any concrete background information about this 777 at all!"

"Hiss... This is a bit scary. This level of security clearance..."

"Legend has it... that someone with atavistic bloodline appeared among those 'founding families'?"

"Or is he the illegitimate son of some important figure, released to gain experience?"

"Most likely! Only an ancient entity could erase information so completely!"

Immediately, speculation about the identity of "777" spread like wildfire, instantly escalating the mystery.

While the outside world was discussing this extensively...

Lin Qiye had already started the second and third rounds with a blank expression...

For him, the so-called ranking matches were like a one-sided massacre.

Faced with Lin Qiye, there was only one outcome—

One shot!

They were all one-shot kills!

In the blink of an eye, the ten qualifying matches were over.

Record: 10 wins, 0 losses!

[Congratulations! You have been directly promoted to: Gold Tier 1!]

……

StarNet, in the highest-encryption custom meeting room opened by Jiang Lingyun.

The atmosphere was heavy and tense.

Jiang Lingyun, dressed in white, sat at one end of the long table with a cool and aloof expression.

Opposite her were several powerful high-ranking members of the family, led by the Third Elder, all with furrowed brows and troubled expressions.

"Lingyun, it's not that your third grandfather won't agree."

"If you want other resources, even warships or planets, the family can approve them! But this 'Tai Xu Annihilation Spear' is one of the Jiang family's most treasured techniques! It's an SSS-level core combat skill!"

"Our ancestors had a rule: this method cannot be passed down to anyone but a direct descendant of the Jiang family! If it were to spread and outsiders discovered its flaws, it would shake the very foundation of the family!"

Several other high-ranking officials nearby echoed this sentiment, appearing deeply distressed.

"Yes, Lingyun, this technique contains the unique secrets of our Jiang family's spiritual energy circulation. What if that 777 is a spy from another hostile force..."

Listening to the old folks' incessant chatter, Jiang Lingyun maintained a cool and aloof expression on the surface, but a hint of mockery flashed through her heart.

Shaking the foundation? A unique secret technique?

"Ha, it only fools the unsuspecting younger generation."

As the family's most prominent figure for many years, she knew all too well what was going on.

They kept claiming it was a secret technique unique to the Jiang family and couldn't be passed on to outsiders. But what was the reality?

As far as she knew, the Ji family, also a founding family, possessed the "Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Spear," while the Ying family possessed the "Primordial Prison Suppressing Spear"...

These techniques, apart from their different names, are largely the same in their core methods of channeling energy and the rules governing power.

Legend has it that the clan-protecting combat techniques of these founding families all originated from that great emperor.

Jiang Lingyun's own speculation is that it is an ancient martial arts prototype passed down from the ancestral star.

In fact, throughout the entire Taurus constellation, there are no fewer than a million different gun techniques derived from this original model!

To put it bluntly, the Jiang family's "Tai Xu Annihilation Spear" is nothing more than a refined version that has been analyzed and optimized countless times by generations of ancestors, making it the easiest to learn and the most accessible to grasp the true meaning.

It is certainly valuable, but it is only at the level of "technique" and is far from enough to shake the foundation of the family.

But of course she couldn't say such a blunt truth in front of these face-conscious elders, otherwise it would be a public slap in the face to the family, and things would become more complicated.

So, Jiang Lingyun took a deep breath, not revealing the truth, but leaning forward slightly, her tone becoming meaningful:

"Third Elder, and all my uncles."

"While cultivation techniques are precious, they are merely 'techniques.' But what are you holding in your hands?"

"That's a ten-times time crystal! One day outside is equivalent to ten days inside!"

"What does this mean? It means that the prodigies of our Jiang family can have ten times more time than those of other families to hone their martial arts skills and comprehend the rules!"

Jiang Lingyun's voice echoed in the hall, each word piercing the heart:

"Using a cultivation technique that most families have similar foundations to exchange for such a vital strategic resource... Uncles, is this a difficult calculation?"

The Third Elder nodded, then hesitated and said, "But this is, after all, an ancestral rule... and what if he is..."

"What if what?"

Jiang Lingyun interrupted him directly, throwing out her final trump card.

Her gaze was deep and unsettling, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness that was actually quite threatening:

"Everyone, to be honest, that 777... he also knows Ji Luoxin from the Ji family."

boom!

Upon hearing the name "Ji Family," the elders' pupils constricted sharply.

Jiang Lingyun continued:

"If he can't get what he wants from us, he can just turn around and go to the Ji family..."

"even……"

"Is it possible, as you've been privately speculating, that this mysterious 777 is actually someone hidden away by another founding family?"

"Did he really want to learn the 'Great Void Annihilation Spear' from us? Perhaps... it's just a test."

"A test of our Jiang family's sincerity."

"If he fails this test and thinks the Jiang family is petty and not worth cooperating with, then the subsequent supply of time crystals, and even deeper alliances... will be affected."

Jiang Lingyun shrugged and sighed:

"I'm afraid it will really benefit the Ji family, or other founding families."

Anyway, I've delivered the message.
