NOVEL NEXT Chapter 66, Set a Small Goal_1
Jiang Chen rose and walked towards the door. Suddenly remembering something, he turned back and said, "If possible, I will consider joining the Dark Legion first and participating in the Alliance War."
Jiang Chen turned and left.
Black Phoenix was puzzled. Join the Dark Legion?
The two looked at Qin Zhan, the warrior beside them.
Qin Zhan said, "Jiang Chen is Jiang Qiu's younger brother, and Jiang Qiu is in the Dark Legion."
Qin Zhan continued, "When I returned to Shenlong Academy, I inquired about Jiang Chen. He passed the tenth level during the new recruit stage and has caught the attention of the Dean. Although his level is very low, his strength is formidable. If possible, we should try to recruit him into the legion."
Black Phoenix exclaimed, "He passed the tenth level?"
"Yes."
Ruo Li smiled. "I told you this kid is a monster. No wonder he's so strong. By the way, Qin Zhan, how did he tease that woman Hanna?"
Qin Zhan smiled. "They say that Hanna wanted to invite Jiang Chen to join the Light Legion, but Jiang Chen refused..."
Ruo Li was stunned.
...
Jiang Chen returned to his room and checked the information about the Alliance War. There were many videos of the war online, all featuring battles with tens of thousands of participants, with each alliance selecting 100,000 Heroes to participate.
Among these 100,000 Heroes, there were different classes.
Hero classes were divided into three main categories: Melee, Ranged, and Support.
Jiang Chen watched a video of the previous Alliance War. In that war, Black Dragon had led the Dragon Zone Union against the other four major alliances.
In the Alliance War, the majority of participants were of the Melee class.
Last time, Black Dragon had opted for military merit. The Nordic Blazing Angel—a powerhouse with an awakened Talent, who ranked first in points—had chosen a Skill Book. As for which Skill Book it was, no detailed explanation was given.
The Skill Books awarded by the Divine Envoy were naturally extraordinary.
According to the information, the Alliance War was scheduled to take place in half a month.
Jiang Chen smiled. The Alliance War... this seems very interesting. How many could I kill in the war with Dragon in the Sky's Three Hundred Sword Auras? Wouldn't that just sweep away a large area?
He definitely had to participate in this Alliance War.
There was still half a month to go. He hoped to reach Level 30 within that time and equip the Level 30 King's Crown Suit, which would boost his confidence for the war.
The participation requirement for the war was that students had to be below Level 50 and must not have undergone their First-stage transformation. Jiang Chen believed most participants would be Heroes ranging from Level 40 to 49.
He would only feel more assured if he was well-equipped.
After all, it was a battlefield of 100,000 people, where area-of-effect attacks were inevitable, and the battlefield would be filled with Flames, and Thunder and Lightning.
Registration was in ten days, after which he would have to return to Shenlong Academy.
He aimed to reach Level 30 within those ten days.

Eight levels to go. I need to work hard.
He set a small goal: first, reach Level 30 and equip the King's Crown Equipment.
「The next morning.」
Jiang Chen arrived early at the grinding spot.
The Demonic Purple Tin Snake area was his best grinding spot. According to his plan, he could reach Level 30 within ten days. However, when he arrived at the Demonic Purple Tin Snake grinding spot, he found that others had already occupied it.
The six people at the grinding spot all turned to look at Jiang Chen.
Fury swelled within them.
"Why is this guy here again?"
"Damn it! He occupied the spot for a whole day yesterday, and now he's back. Is he planning to steal our monsters again?"
"What should we do? It looks like this guy is determined to fight us to the end."
"'If worse comes to worst, we'll just fight him,' one suggested."
"'Don't get agitated. Let's wait and see. Besides, people from the Black Stone Guild are here too,' another cautioned."
Jiang Chen chuckled. "You're all up early, grinding monsters already?"
"We let you train here all day yesterday! Do you still intend to steal our monsters today?"
"We've claimed this spot! By what right do you try to take our monsters?"
"'We might as well fight to the bitter end!' a warrior exclaimed angrily."
Jiang Chen drew his Thin Sword. "Are your names carved on these monsters' foreheads? What makes you say they're yours? Let's settle this with combat. If anyone can defeat the sword in my hand, I'll give them the monsters. Don't say I didn't give you a chance."
As soon as these words were out, the expressions of the crowd changed dramatically.
They had all personally witnessed Jiang Chen kill Hausman of the Black Stone Guild with a single sword strike. No one dared to make a move against Jiang Chen, knowing they would certainly be killed in one blow.
They had no desire to make an enemy of Jiang Chen.
Seeing Jiang Chen standing there, they could only leave reluctantly.
"Are you the one who killed Hausman from our Black Stone Guild?" A group of about a dozen people approached, and their leader asked.
Jiang Chen glanced at them. "You are from the Black Stone Guild?"
"That's right. I am Bani, the Guild Master of the Black Stone Guild."
"Are you here for revenge, or what?"
Bani smiled. "Revenge? I have no such thought. I just wanted to tell you that you've gotten yourself into trouble. Do you really think our Nordic European Warzone is short on experts? In this world teeming with powerful figures, let alone someone like you who hasn't even completed your First-stage transformation—even if you had, who would dare to act so brazenly here?"
What does this guy mean? Jiang Chen's brows furrowed tightly.
Bani left with his group.
Jiang Chen's face was full of confusion.
Never mind, Jiang Chen decided. I'll focus on leveling up first.
Jiang Chen activated Dragon in the Sky and resumed his daily grind. In the afternoon, Jiang Chen went to the King's Crown Copy, but unfortunately, no equipment dropped.
It was another day of gathering materials.
