“I… I didn’t hear it wrong, did I? A newcomer who has just entered the rankings actually said he wants to take on a Heaven-level disaster mission!”
“And it sounds like he originally wanted to take on a disaster mission above Heaven-level? Is it because he couldn’t find any tasks above Heaven-level that he reluctantly accepted a Heaven-level mission?”
“Hahaha, this is absolutely the funniest joke I’ve ever heard in my life!”
For a moment, everyone burst into laughter, their laughter filled with mockery towards Jiang Yuan.
And their gaze towards Jiang Yuan was also filled with disdain as if they were looking at a fool.
The elder in charge of assigning tasks frowned slightly but patiently explained to Jiang Yuan, “In our Southern Xia Kingdom, Heaven-level disasters are also extremely rare.”
“Only fifty years ago, there was an unexpected appearance during the early days of the Martial Arts Alliance.”
“At that time, in order to deal with that disaster, the entire Southern Xia Kingdom mobilized all its strength, and hundreds of thousands of martial artists died tragically before it was finally resolved.”
“So you mean there are no Heaven-level disasters anymore?” Jiang Yuan felt even more disappointed.
Originally, he didn’t have high hopes for Heaven-level disasters but he didn’t expect that there were none at all.
“What is the highest level of disaster mission currently available?” Jiang Yuan asked with a yawn and a lack of enthusiasm.
The elder looked at the mission board and then said to Jiang Yuan, “The highest level of disaster mission currently available is a Profound-level disaster mission, targeting a mid-level great demon.”
“Just Profound level? Is it not very difficult?” Jiang Yuan asked without much hope.
Upon hearing Jiang Yuan’s words, the others were almost choked with disbelief.
The rough-looking man who had ignored Jiang Yuan earlier stepped forward and said, “Young man, do you know what the concept of a Profound-level disaster is?”
“What concept?” Jiang Yuan asked.
The burly man explained, “That’s a disaster that can threaten the scale of one or more cities! And the great demons that appear in Profound-level disasters also vary in strength. When encountering some high-level great demons, it may even require several top-ranked experts to join forces to have a fighting chance against them!”
Hearing the burly man’s words, Jiang Yuan just responded with a casual “Oh” and showed no other reaction.
The burly man continued, “Do you know the famous Bull Demon of Blackwind Mountain in the Central Region? It’s just a mid-level great demon, and it took three top-ranked experts working together to confront it!”
“If you encounter a demon of that level, I can guarantee that one stomp from it would be enough to turn you into a pile of bones!”
The burly man spoke with great certainty, but he didn’t know that the “Blackwind Mountain Bull Demon” he mentioned had been casually slapped to death by Jiang Yuan.
Similarly, Jiang Yuan didn’t know that the bull’s head he had inadvertently slapped to death was the “Blackwind Mountain Bull Demon” mentioned by the burly man.
Although the burly man described “Profound-level disasters” in such an awe-inspiring way, Jiang Yuan still didn’t hold much hope.
But for now, he didn’t have much of a choice and could only accept this mission.
“In that case, I’ll take the Profound-level disaster mission.” Jiang Yuan said in a casual tone as if it were a trivial matter.
Upon hearing Jiang Yuan’s words, the others once again cast disdainful glances at him.
“That’s a mission for top-ranked experts, why are you meddling with it? You’re truly an overconfident fellow!”
“Warriors on the Human Ranking going on missions like that are simply cannon fodder!”
“I say, young man, what’s bothering you so much? Why do you insist on running over there to meet your death?”
Many well-meaning people tried to persuade Jiang Yuan.
The elder in charge of assigning tasks also tried to convince Jiang Yuan and said, “Although I don’t know your strength but since you’re a member of the Human Ranking, the highest limit for you is a Yellow-level disaster.”
“How about this, I’ll give you a task that doesn’t constitute a disaster level. If you can complete it easily, then the next one will be a Yellow-level disaster task for you.”
“No need, I’ll take the Profound-level disaster mission,” Jiang Yuan said in the same calm tone.
The elder was left speechless, not knowing how to persuade him.
The others also stopped trying to convince him, only looking at Jiang Yuan with pity, and feeling sorry for his fate.
“Since you’re so determined, I won’t persuade you further,” the elder shook his head in regret and released the mission information to Jiang Yuan.
“Qingshan City is under attack by a mid-level great demon, and this attack has been classified as a ‘Profound-level disaster.’ The mission rewards 5,000 Alliance contribution points.”
“Qingshan City?” Jiang Yuan remembered the warriors he encountered earlier, Zhang San and Li Si who had come from Qingshan City.
The elder nodded and handed Jiang Yuan a map, “The mission location has already been marked on the map. Three top-ranked members have been dispatched for this task. You must wait for their arrival before taking action. If you can assist them in completing the task, you can also earn a small amount of contribution points.”
After receiving the map from the elder, Jiang Yuan immediately left the scene.
His every move was secretly monitored by someone.
Not long after Jiang Yuan left the scene, the person who had been secretly watching him reported Jiang Yuan’s actions to Ye Xingchen.
Upon learning that Jiang Yuan intended to go to Qingshan City to carry out the Profound-level disaster mission, Ye Xingchen made a decisive decision.
“Prepare a horse for me immediately. I want to personally go to Qingshan City. It’s a good opportunity to assess his strength!”
