Chapter 1269: This is a Truly Mature Captain!
Chapter 1269: This is a Truly Mature Captain!
Got it without any effort!
Wang Ye couldn't help but smile.
To not only secure an Earth Divine Jade in one fell swoop but also to be gifted a Heavenly God Jade?
The geniuses of the Infinite Genius Garden are really generous!
"Captain! Are you okay?" Nan Zhinv ran towards him anxiously, her petite frame shaking exaggeratedly, and her gaze was much different than before.
Both being from Earth Level Divine Domains and pillars of the high-dimensional races, Nan Zhinv had originally only admired Wang Ye, but now, a different feeling arose—
Reverence!
Wang Ye was truly strong!
Much stronger than she had anticipated!
In the first combat, he showed off his all-around skills, and while the Gun Genius was the most dazzling, Wang Ye's performance as the core of the team was astonishing.
The second battle was even more incredible!
By his own power, he boldly confronted the genius Xiao Du, ranked at 250!
In a one-on-one situation, without the advantage of the terrain or timing, he was able to counter-kill him in two consecutive fights!
Such strength was breath-taking!
"I'm fine," Wang Ye said with a smile.
There weren't really any injuries, just a small consumption of Chaos Slaying Divine Power and a substantial drain on willpower.
Fortunately, his main defense was his willpower, which was still within a bearable range.
A little bit of consumption in exchange for a Heavenly God Jade and an Earth Divine Jade was worth it.
"Sorry," Gun Genius's voice was very delicate, and Yu Hang and Zuo Qinqin looked over in surprise.
Wang Ye glanced at the two of them.
You didn't think the Gun Genius couldn't talk, did you?
"You performed very well," Wang Ye said to the Gun Genius with a smile.
He knew what the Gun Genius was thinking. Because of her high ranking, she naturally felt that she should bear more responsibility and take on the most difficult battles.
"But we are a team," Wang Ye said. "This time, it's a team fight."
"I, as the captain, also need to contribute my share."
Gun Genius gave a soft hum, not speaking.
She just sneaked a glance at Wang Ye.
And reassessed his strength.
"Why do the two teams, one receive a Heavenly God Jade and another an Earth Divine Jade?" Yu Hang asked. "Is it because of the captains' different strengths?"
"Possibly," Wang Ye pondered. "But I think it's more likely based on the overall team strength. This selection test is quite peculiar, completely different from past Divine People Hall selections."
"But now we know how to obtain Divine Jades!" Zuo Qinqin said.
"If we attack other Heavenly Level and Earth Level teams, will we get Divine Jades?" Nan Zhinv asked.
"Most likely not," Wang Ye said. "If so, there would be no need for the rules to be cryptic, and teams from the Infinite Genius Garden wouldn't need to hide. The most important reason is the imbalance of strength."
"Only teams within the top 1000 of the Infinite Genius Garden will receive a basic Earth Divine Jade upon being defeated."
"It can't be that defeating ordinary teams would also result in an Earth Divine Jade."
"Even if it did, it should be that a team must reach a certain combat prowess standard before being given a jade talisman that could transform into a Divine Jade."
Everyone nodded.
"What's our next move? Continue looking for teams from the Infinite Genius Garden?" Nan Zhinv asked.
"No, we should look for other methods to obtain Divine Jades," Wang Ye said.
"There are others?" Zuo Qinqin was surprised.
"Definitely," Wang Ye said. "The Infinite Genius Garden has 104 teams, equating to 104 Divine Jades, which is clearly insufficient. Even adding us and the other competing teams, uh... I estimate there are about 200 Divine Jades."
"But it's unlikely to be divided equally among 200 teams; for example, we already have two Divine Jades."
"In the end, I'm sure the strong teams will monopolize half, and the rest will be scattered among other teams."
"Moreover, if we consider from a team strength evaluation, it's not easy to qualify for a Heavenly God Jade. Teams that can reach the Ultimate Divine Jade standard will definitely be few and far between."
"And teams that can attain the Infinite Divine Jade standard may well not exist."
"There must be other ways to obtain Divine Jades!"
...
Qianling Valley.
Red Beauty Meng Han looked at the Heavenly God Jade in her hand, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
"What's wrong, Sister Meng Han?" the childish voice of Ni Changjing sounded.
"Nothing much, we just need to change our original plan," Red Beauty Meng Han said.
"Why, though?" Ni Changjing didn't understand.
Red Beauty Meng Han explained, "I originally thought that five jade talismans would correspond to five Divine Jades because every talented individual from the Infinite Genius Garden is within the top 1000, a normal benchmark for strength."
"But now, only the captain's jade talisman really works."
Ni Changjing tilted her head, a spark of realization, "Then we just go after the captains, right? Wouldn't that be simpler?"
Red Beauty Meng Han smiled beautifully, "What I mean is, there aren't enough Divine Jades. The Infinite Genius Garden has a total of 520 cultivators, which make up 104 teams, adding up to only 104 Divine Jades."
Luo Bai understood brightly, "And as the rankings are announced in ten years, the leading teams will be easily targeted. By that time, in a clash of the titans, the Divine Jades could be monopolized."
"There will be 200 teams advancing to the next stage, and I estimate that there will be around 2000 Divine Jades. Relying solely on the captains' jade talismans won't reach this number," Red Beauty Meng Han said.
Ni Changjing nodded in comprehension, "Where do you think the rest of the Divine Jades can be obtained?"
"If I'm not mistaken," Red Beauty Meng Han uttered, "the Infinite Genius Garden must have corresponding tasks scattered about for the ordinary Divine Jades, although they will be less convenient to acquire than defeating others, and the grades will be lower."
Ni Changjing, quick to understand, immediately got it, "But then, how would we obtain the Ultimate Divine Jades and Inferno Divine Jades?"
Red Beauty Meng Han lightly parted her lips, "I think, the Infinite Divine Mountain should have opened by now."

Infinite Divine Mountain.
Nestled in the center of the Infinite Genius Garden, it existed like a totem.
The Infinite Divine Mountain alone occupied one third of the Infinite Genius Garden's area!
This place was the source of the vast energy of the Infinite Genius Garden, an original and natural region of the Jade Beauty Divine Domain, filled with infinite opportunities—
and dangers!
Under normal circumstances, it remained sealed.
But the geniuses of the Infinite Genius Garden were occasionally allowed to ascend the mountain, especially when they needed to break through.
To temper themselves, have an epiphany, cultivate.
The Infinite Divine Mountain held tremendous opportunities.
"Have you decided to go in?" The Jade Buddha God looked at the super genius of the Jade Beauty Divine Race with a smile.
"Yes, Teacher." Yu Junxiang was polite and respectful, like a refined gentleman: "High risk, high reward. For me, Heavenly God Jade and Earth Divine Jade aren't very useful, only Ultimate Divine Jade and Infinite Divine Jade can enhance my strength."
"Moreover, the Infinite Divine Mountain itself also possesses great opportunities."
"I want to defeat Luan Renjiao and ensure that this year's crown of the Divine People Hall selection still falls upon our Jade Beauty Divine Race's head."
The Jade Buddha God nodded with satisfaction: "Go on, show your strength and your leadership as a captain."
"Yes, Teacher." Yu Junxiang bowed respectfully.
...
Wang Ye and his party made their way toward the center.
Though with their strength, they feared almost no team within the Infinite Genius Garden.
But as the saying goes, frequently walking by the river, one cannot avoid getting one's shoes wet.
Always trying to forcefully outmatch opponents could lead to an upset.
The most important point was that each combat would consume Combat Prowess.
The talents of the Infinite Genius Garden weren't pushovers.
They decided to return to the marketplace treasury they had passed by earlier.
Under the astonished gaze of his four teammates, Wang Ye walked to the middle layer and exchanged the Heavenly God Jade he had just acquired for a rare Primitive Fruit associated with Chaos Divine Power and tossed it to Gun Genius.
"Ah?" Gun Genius was somewhat taken aback.
Looking at the rare, pale yellow and lustrous Primitive Fruit in her hand, she was momentarily at a loss.
"Heavenly Origin Divine Power Fruit." Wang Ye said: "It can increase the burst of Chaos Divine Power in a short time and quickly restore a large amount of Chaos Divine Power. The effects are very prominent, very suitable for you."
Gun Genius bowed her head, whispering as quiet as a mosquito: "I... understand."
She naturally recognized such a rare Chaos Divine Power Primitive Fruit.
Very suitable for her current state. .comy Virtual Library Empire
After two consecutive combats and massive transformation of divine power, she was nearly half spent.
But, this was too precious...
"Earth Divine Jade is of no use." Wang Ye looked at his four teammates: "A single Earth Divine Jade definitely won't lead to a promotion, and ten years will soon pass, the ranking list will refresh for the first time, and unless something unexpected happens, our rank will be very high."
Nan Zhinv responded quickly: "Captain, you don't want us to be too high-profile."
Wang Ye smiled: "Being high-profile isn't really an issue. The key point is that if everyone can see us, won't we become a target for all? For safety's sake, let's use up the Heavenly God Jade and keep an Earth Divine Jade to observe the rankings."
Everyone suddenly understood.
No wonder he was the captain, his thinking was meticulous.
For them, since they could obtain the first Heavenly God Jade, they could naturally get the second, third, and so on—there was no need to rush.
"There's still plenty of time, there are many ways to acquire Divine Jade, we haven't fully explored everything yet, no need to rush to conclusions." Wang Ye said: "Let's lie low and watch first, then make a final sprint at the end. This is how we can remain unbeatable."
"Understood." Nan Zhinv's admiration for Wang Ye deepened as she looked into his eyes.
"But... why give it to me?" Gun Genius finally managed to ask in a soft voice.
"Because you are our main attacker," Wang Ye smiled as he looked at Gun Genius.
"You are also very powerful," Gun Genius said softly.
Wang Ye chuckled: "But I'm the captain, of course, I should give the good stuff to my teammates first."
Gun Genius bowed her head, touched by his gesture.
Nan Zhinv was even more impressed by Wang Ye's generous spirit.
He was truly outstanding!
Zuo Qinqin looked at Wang Ye, her admiration unabashed.
Only Yu Hang was sober while others were intoxicated.
Brother Wang Ye, what a tactic!
Winning hearts with such practiced ease!
But then again, with strength, tactics, and decisiveness, this was the mark of a truly mature captain!
"I've learned something," Yu Hang nodded secretly.
...
After passing through the marketplace treasury.
The Infinite Genius Garden began to buzz with life.
The first round of the grand examination had kicked off almost a decade ago, all teams had entered, filling up the once empty Genius Garden considerably.
Many teams were heading in the direction of the center.
This also confirmed Wang Ye's conjecture.
There were more than one ways to acquire Divine Jade.
He didn't even need to overly ponder or guess because the amount of information available was bound to be abundant.
Soon, everything would become clear.
Including the current standings of all the teams.
"It's updated," Wang Ye activated the jade talisman.
The first decade had just passed.
The Divine People Hall selection's first grand examination, the first ranking update!
