After District Sixteen was taken, the War God Hall rested for just a short week before immediately shifting to District Eighteen to deal with the BOSS over there.
The major guilds each guarded their own assigned districts, helping those areas resist the beast tides while also boosting their own guilds' damage rankings.
The strength of the Guardian Lords of the seven major maps was slowly increasing. From Zhou Ting's equipment data, Jiang Kai also saw the research institute's level evaluations of these Guardian Lords.
From level 107 to level 113!
Ninety days after the BOSS battles began, War God Hall lived up to expectations and took down the final Guardian Lord of District Four.
After War God Hall defeated the last Guardian Lord, several thousand War Gods received an enthusiastic welcome from all the players of District Four. It was said the scene was extremely spectacular.
After the BOSS battles ended, the various guilds also returned to their main districts.
At the fork in the road between District Sixteen leading to District One and District Eighteen, the Qingyun Guild and the Main God Guild were preparing to part ways.
After three months of hard fighting, a solid friendship had formed between the members of Qingyun and Main God.
Especially within the small teams. After so many life-and-death battles together, now that they were about to separate, many people were saying goodbye to close friends.
A Qingyun disciple patted Ding Jian on the shoulder and said, "Kid, level up properly. You're also a feng shui master. Have you seen Old Hu? He's your role model!"
Ding Jian's eyes reddened slightly as he nodded hard. "Brother Xiao, Brother Li, thank you for protecting us all this time. Without you, we wouldn't have grown this fast in the BOSS battles."
Brother Xiao smiled faintly. "Why be so polite? Our sect leader already said that from now on, Qingyun and Main God are one family. Family doesn't talk like outsiders."
"I also think highly of you. In the future, you'll definitely walk a path of your own!"
Sun Yuan, Liu Xuefei, and the others were chatting with Hu Yanruanyu, Zhao Tiequan, and Ouyang Yixian.
"Hey, Old Zhao, is Miss Xia Hua really still single?"
"I already told you she's single. If you want to chase her, hurry up!" Zhao Tiequan said impatiently.
"Then… can you help me ask for her contact info?"
"Damn it, do you really need me to help with something like that? The guild leader even said you're a love expert."
"I, hehe, my theory is strong, but actual practice is a bit different."
Liu Xuefei said anxiously, "Old Zhao, help me ask for Dong Xue's contact info too, while you're at it."
Zhao Tiequan widened his eyes. "You guys are really cowards! Got it, got it. I'll secretly ask Chun Lan later."
Wang Zhong, meanwhile, was pulling Ruan Yu along. "Brother Ruan, give me a few more bottles of wine. Let me really feel that sense of letting myself go!"
Jiang Kai, He Shishi, Zhou Chu, Elder Wan, Elder Sun, and the others were discussing the matter of Main God opening a branch guild in District One.
"Our current numbers are already enough to apply for a guild level upgrade," He Shishi said. "Once we're back, I'll arrange for everyone to take the guild assessment."
"After the assessment passes, we'll first set up a branch in District One. Once the new guild is established, I might have to go over there for a while. Uncle Zhou, we'll stay in touch then."
Zhou Chu smiled. "Sure. Ah, Jiang Kai, your luck is really something. You've got such a great helper."
Jiang Kai smiled and continued talking business. "Old Zhou, once the rewards are distributed this time, I'll have Shishi bring your share over to you."
Zhou Chu waved his hand. "What rewards or not? Between us, there's no need to be so clear-cut. Besides, most of the damage was dealt by you anyway. The rewards going to you is something we're completely willing to accept."
Jiang Kai shook his head. "No. One thing is one thing. The Qingyun brothers contributed so much, they can't be shortchanged. Anyway, just listen to my arrangements."
"This…" Zhou Chu looked troubled. But considering that Jiang Kai was, after all, the grandmaster, he didn't dare disobey him and could only reluctantly agree. "Alright, I'll follow your arrangement."
Zhou Chu led the Qingyun Guild away, and Jiang Kai and the others watched them leave.
He Shishi looked at Jiang Kai curiously and said, "Jiang Kai, they really treat you extremely well. Where do you get such pull, to make a guild like Qingyun support you at any cost?"
Jiang Kai glanced at He Shishi and said with a deliberately profound look, "Maybe it's just personal charm. Aren't you also always helping me with all your heart?"
"Heh… now you're getting cocky!"
Jiang Kai grinned smugly as he turned around. "I'm heading out too. You all go back to District Eighteen first. I'm going to Huaxia City to claim the rewards!"
...
The next day, as soon as Jiang Kai arrived at Huaxia City, he saw that the military had already announced the guild contribution rankings for this BOSS battle in front of their garrison.
Jiang Kai had already looked at the damage points before, so there wasn't much surprise.
The Main God Guild took first place in this BOSS battle with the highest damage score!
Azure Dragon Guild was second, Tianxuan third, Tianjian fourth, and Tianchi fifth.
Interestingly, Xuanwu actually fell out of the top five. This was because the data had been merged with results from other districts.
Districts with more BOSSES naturally found it easier to score high, but that also meant fiercer competition. After weighing the pros and cons, each major guild had made its own choice.
For example, Tianjian and Tianchi were respectively first place in District Four and District Eighteen. After merging, they became fourth and fifth overall.
However, since District Sixteen had the most BOSSES, the top three results from District Sixteen were not affected at all.
Just as Jiang Kai was looking at the rankings, a familiar voice came from ahead. "Little Jiang Kai, you're here pretty early."
Jiang Kai looked up and said in surprise, "God Hua!"
Hua Tianchen smiled slightly. "The award ceremony starts in three hours. Perfect timing. Let's go to the Tower of Life and collect the Rebirth Badges. Get mine along with yours."
Jiang Kai frowned. "I thought you were here to welcome me. Turns out you're waiting for my Rebirth Badges."
"Hahahaha, mainly to welcome you!" God Hua laughed as he pulled Jiang Kai toward the Tower of Life.
As the only ranked player of the Tower of Life, Jiang Kai could claim one level-five Rebirth Badge every week. Accumulated until now, he had fifteen.
When they arrived in front of the Tower of Life, Jiang Kai walked up to the Sky Sparrow Rankings, and the system prompt was already ringing in his ears.
[You have unclaimed Rebirth Badges waiting to be collected. If you wish to retrieve them, please enter the Tower of Life preparation area.]
Jiang Kai looked at the towering structure that seemed to pierce the clouds and walked over.
At that moment, the massive doors suddenly opened!
Many people passing by stopped to watch.
"What's going on? The Tower of Life opened early?"
"No, Jiang Kai is here to collect Rebirth Badges. Right now, only he can go in."
"So that's it. That scared me. But he shouldn't count as really entering the Tower of Life, right?"
People speculated and watched.
After Jiang Kai entered the Tower of Life, the doors behind him closed on their own.
He looked around. He was now in a sealed but very spacious chamber.
In the center of the room was only a cabinet. When Jiang Kai approached it, he heard the system prompt.
[Current location is the Tower of Life 'Preparation Area'. This is your personal storage cabinet.]
Jiang Kai nodded. It seemed he still couldn't enter the Tower of Life ahead of time.
There was no lock on the cabinet. Jiang Kai opened the door directly and pulled out the drawer.
[You have accumulated a total of 38 level-five Rebirth Badges.]
The moment Jiang Kai heard this, he was completely stunned.
"Forty-six? How can there be so many?"
[Among 15 system rewards, 13 triggered the double effect, and 2 triggered the super double effect.]
"This!"
So the rewards from the Tower of Life could also benefit from the doubling effect!
The doubling effect applied to system rewards, and the Tower of Life clearly counted as a "system reward", so it naturally enjoyed the doubling effect as well.
"Two super doubles out of fifteen times. That's insane luck!" Jiang Kai said excitedly.
"Should I sell them to the military…"
Jiang Kai took out all 46 Rebirth Badges. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to first give the military 12 as agreed. After a Rebirth Badge drop method appeared later, he would consider giving more to the military as appropriate.
After leaving the Tower of Life, Jiang Kai handed over the agreed badges to God Hua and then followed him to the BOSS battle award ceremony.
