My Wife Might Be a Saintess

Chapter 265: Chapter 264: At Full Strength, This Is All I Can Do

Jiang Zuo looked at the stone pillar, thought for a moment, and then said to the examiner, "With my full strength?"

The examiner nodded.

He really wanted to see just how strong Jiang Zuo was. In other words, Jiang Zuo’s strength would decide whether there would be a second phase.

If he was only on par with Kong Yu, then the second phase of the assessment would have to proceed.

Having received his answer, Jiang Zuo extended a finger and tapped it on the stone pillar. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

A wisp of Spiritual Qi flowed into it.

The stone pillar didn’t have much of a reaction.

Everyone was stunned. They had no idea what Jiang Zuo was doing, but since he had already touched the stone pillar, it counted as an attack.

And with the pillar showing no reaction, it meant he had failed.

Just as the examiner was about to speak, the stone pillar finally reacted.

But upon seeing the result, the examiner froze.

The stone pillar before Jiang Zuo wasn’t emitting a red light, but a seven-colored radiance. This radiance constantly shifted within the pillar, accelerating until it became a stream of light impossible for the eye to follow.

When the seven-colored radiance reached its peak speed, the stone pillar began to shatter layer by layer, until only a pile of rubble was left.

The examiner was stunned. Kong Yu was stunned. To the side, Ming Hao was utterly dumbfounded.

’What... What is happening?’

This was beyond their comprehension.

At that moment, Jiang Zuo looked at the examiner. "Will this do?"

The examiner looked at Jiang Zuo and stammered, "You... you... you’re a Tier... Seven..."

He wanted to say Tier Seven, but Jiang Zuo shook his head. "Don’t mind that. My actual Cultivation is indeed 2.1. It’s just that the Overflowing Spirit Stone isn’t indestructible to me. At full strength, this is the most I can do.

So, do I pass?

Or do I move on to the next phase?"

"N-no next phase. You... you passed." He suddenly understood a little of how the examiner next door must have felt.

’I’m definitely no match for this person.’

After receiving this news, Jiang Zuo left immediately. The assessment was complete, so there was no need for him to stay.

Kong Yu stared blankly at Jiang Zuo. ’So this is Po Xiao?’

She suddenly felt that the rumors weren’t exaggerated at all; in fact, they downplayed his power.

Ming Hao lowered his head. He had truly been humbled.

He suddenly felt his sister had been right. When you’re out in the world, you have to be low-key.

’There’s always someone better, and a heaven beyond the heavens.’

’I’m nothing special at all.’

Jiang Zuo didn’t care what these people were thinking. He was going to check the commissions now.

When he returned to his station, Jiang Zuo indeed saw many commissions.

Jiang Zuo scanned the list and saw a purely cash-based commission.

Reward: Two million in cash.

This commission displayed the reward first, followed by the content: Plagued by nightmares, unable to sleep. A nightmare descends the moment they fall asleep. Any injury sustained in the nightmare manifests in reality.

Age: 16

Gender: Female

’So little,’ was Jiang Zuo’s first thought upon seeing the reward. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

A Tier Two reward was only two million, with no extras at all.

The reward was truly paltry. In other words, not much more than a Tier One commission.

’But for Low Tier commissions, cash is probably the mainstream reward.’

’After Tier Three, probably no one takes commissions just for the money anymore.’

Still, Jiang Zuo accepted the commission. It was a little interesting, it offered the money he needed, and most importantly, it was nearby.

The client’s specified location was a nearby hotel.

Without taking any more commissions, Jiang Zuo prepared to leave.

As he was heading out, Ming Hao happened to be walking in. Upon seeing Jiang Zuo, Ming Hao immediately stepped aside.

After finding out more, he finally understood just how terrifying this person was.

After Jiang Zuo left, he looked at Market Division Two again, all his previous lofty ambitions gone. He suddenly realized that this place could be hiding countless other Po Xiaos.

’Being low-key is the way to go.’

Meanwhile, Su Qi, who was at home, finally got herself ready after a long while and headed out to her senior sister’s house.

Since Jiang Zuo wasn’t coming back for lunch, she just had to be back to make dinner in the evening. Her whole day was free.

’Hmm, pretty boring.’

Soon, Su Qi arrived at Jingyue’s villa. The Array here was still active.

The moment she arrived, she was reminded of her box—the safety measure she had prepared for Jiang Zuo. Unfortunately, it was gone.

’I should ask Master to custom-make another one for me,’ she thought.

’Master has been in a good mood lately, so it shouldn’t be a problem.’

But when she went inside, both Jingyue and Qing Lian had long faces.

They only glanced at Su Qi when she came in.

Su Qi was surprised. "What’s wrong with you two?"

Jingyue sighed. "It’s gone."

Su Qi was curious. "Gone? What’s gone?"

"The Holy Sister means the Blood Demon escaped," Qing Lian said from the side.

"The Blood Demon escaped? The special one that was captured last time? Are more Blood Demons causing trouble again?" Su Qi was a little nervous.

When Blood Demons caused trouble, it was a huge problem. Last time, her Master and Senior Sister had almost not made it back.

If they came again, who knew what might happen.

Jingyue seemed to know what Su Qi was thinking and offered some comfort. "Don’t worry, it just escaped. Even if they attack again, it’ll be fine. Master’s power is on a whole new level now.

As long as Master makes a move, the entire Blood Demon clan combined might not even be able to injure her."

They knew that their Martial Uncle was a Tier Seven Daoist, and from the looks of it, he was about to undergo his Crossing the Tribulation and would soon reach Tier Eight.

Never mind Tier Eight, just his status as a Tier Seven Daoist was enough to sweep away countless people.

But many places had their own hidden depths, so it was still necessary to be low-key.

In any case, there was no need to fear the Blood Demons.

Su Qi was confused again. "If it’s not a big deal, then why the long faces?"

Saying this, Su Qi sat down beside them.

Jingyue just shook her head and sighed. It was Qing Lian who explained from the side, "Martial Aunt said that if we return this Blood Demon, we’ll get a huge reward. Apparently, this Blood Demon is really special."

"Why didn’t I know about this? I was the one who caught the Blood Demon," Su Qi asked.

Jingyue leaned back on the sofa and stared at the ceiling. "Master sent the notice last night. At that hour, would you have even answered my call?

But I find it strange. I checked the place where the Blood Demon was being held. It seems to have vanished into thin air."

Su Qi didn’t mind. She really didn’t want to be notified at night; she didn’t like being disturbed then.

Su Qi asked curiously, "What’s so special about that Blood Demon, anyway?"

Jingyue looked at Su Qi and said, "It’s said to have the ability to summon a Nightmare."

Su Qi shook her head. She had never heard of that.

"I only learned about it last night myself. It can communicate with beings from the Nightmare, and dreams themselves are a bizarre spiritual domain.

I’ve heard of people dying in their dreams, let alone when there’s a strange, conscious entity in there with them. With a being like that, a single misstep could get you killed, and to it, it would be like a game.

If you all hadn’t managed to catch it in time back then, most of you would have probably died there.

I suspect it used this ability to escape, but as for how it did it, I have no idea."
