Chapter 512: Worthy or Not | Red Heart Survey [Translation]
Red Heart Survey [Translation] - Updated on April 11, 2025
The Floating Continent World failed at the final moment. Would Lei Zhangan be content with that?
With Lei Zhangan’s strength, could he perceive that that sword strike was unrepeatable?
Despite personally eliminating Lei Zhangan, Jiang Wang still held Lei Zhangan’s combat prowess in high regard.
He deliberately waited for others to exit first, in order to allow them to distract Lei Zhangan. At the same time, he granted Lei Zhangan some time to “cool down,” preventing him from making any overly emotional moves.
Li Fengyao certainly saw through this, and she approved of Jiang Wang’s “cleverness.” That’s why she deliberately paused to chat with Jiang Wang for a few words. She was not one who enjoyed idle chatter.
Jiang Wuxie, on the other hand, either genuinely didn’t understand, or pretended not to, or simply wanted to interrupt Jiang Wang’s conversation with Li Fengyao. In any case, he was a bit annoying.
Once everyone had truly left this starry space, Jiang Wang grasped his sword and walked towards the star gate.
Li Fengyao moved in unison with great understanding, and Jiang Wuxie hurriedly followed.
Those who left the Seven Stars Tower Secret Realm earlier would be ranked as far back as possible. For example, if there were still forty people fighting in the Seven Stars Tower Secret Realm, then the first person to leave at that time would be ranked forty-first, even if many people after him could not return to Seven Stars Valley alive.
As for after the Tianshu World ended, all the Seven Stars Worlds had already closed. The rankings had already been determined, so it didn’t matter whether one left earlier or later.
Stepping out of the star gate, he was already in Seven Stars Valley.
This place seemed unchanged from when he left.
Night still hung high, and the seven stars stood tall.
Everyone craned their necks, knowing that the young man appearing at the Tiankui Star position was the champion of this Seven Stars Tower Secret Realm.
He had overwhelmed Lei Zhangan, Li Fengyao, Jiang Wuxie, Fang Chong, and various other powerhouses, and stood alone at the top.
Compared to his obscurity before entering the Seven Stars Tower Secret Realm, Jiang Wang could now be described as the center of attention.
His achievements forced everyone to re-evaluate him.
If his success in the Tianfu Secret Realm was his first entry into the eyes of the Qi Kingdom, and his capturing flags and slaying generals on the Yangdi battlefield made him begin to stand out, then this first place in the Seven Stars Tower Secret Realm was enough to catapult him into one of the most watched young powerhouses of the Qi Kingdom.
Because his first place was achieved in competition with figures like Lei Zhangan, Li Fengyao, Jiang Wuxie, and Fang Chong. The more terrifying Lei Zhangan was, the stronger Li Fengyao and Jiang Wuxie were, the heavier the weight of this first place.
Jiang Wang even noticed Tian Chang’s gaze, a flash of vigilance and solemnity that instantly transformed into full praise.
Perhaps when he returned to Seven Stars Valley, only to find that Jiang Wang had not returned, he had hoped that Jiang Wang would die in the Seven Stars World, so that his secret would never be known.
But Jiang Wang had actually gone to compete in the Tianshu World, and had won first place in the Seven Stars Tower Secret Realm!
No matter how many thoughts he had, he could only suppress them.
Tian He stood not far behind Tian Chang, his expression wooden. His surprise at Jiang Wang’s victory was also superficial. Anyone would see him as an honest man who was not good at speaking or acting.
Jiang Wang did not even exchange glances with him.
Because Tian Chang was a smart man.
Amidst the gazes of varying emotions, surprise and admiration, one person stood out from the crowd and strode forward.
Jiang Wang instantly retracted his gaze. He stopped the step he was about to take, and his hand remained on his sword, never relaxing.
Lei Zhangan walked out of the crowd, walked to Jiang Wang’s front, glanced at his hand on the sword, and shook his head: “I didn’t expect the Chongxuan family to have this level of hidden power in the Seven Stars World, and even be willing to give it to you.”
Fang Chong’s gaze changed at that moment.
In the eyes of those who experienced the situation, Lei Zhangan’s words undoubtedly clarified that Jiang Wang’s sword was not his own strength. In Lei Zhangan’s speculation, it should be the Chongxuan family’s exploration results in the Seven Stars Tower Secret Realm, which were ahead of other forces, just like he was able to enter the Tianshu World half a step earlier.
Jiang Wang did not intend to correct his “misunderstanding,” and only said: “So?”
Lei Zhangan didn’t expect that at this moment, having already left the Floating Continent World and lost the reliance on that sword, this person would still dare to be so arrogant.
As the biggest favorite to win the Seven Stars Tower Secret Realm, the entire Seven Stars Valley was shocked when he emerged from the star position representing thirteenth place. The gazes were very complex.
He himself was completely incredulous.
He had planned to fight three opponents at once, intending to subdue all opponents with his tyrannical strength and win an indisputable first place. But in the end, he was defeated by Jiang Wang, who came out of nowhere with a single sword strike.
If he hadn’t relied on the Lei family’s “exploration results” in the Seven Stars Tower Secret Realm to escape from the Floating Continent World on the spot, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Yes, “escape.” Such a shameful word.
He didn’t say anything after returning to Seven Stars Valley, but he had replayed that sword countless times in his mind. In the end, he came to the conclusion that that sword could not possibly appear in the Tenglong Realm under any circumstances.
Although in the world of cultivation, there is never a limit. Generation after generation of progress will eventually push the limits of each realm forward. But there is also a process!
Wang Yiwu took a big step forward in expanding the limits of the Tongtian Realm, and his name was engraved in the history of the cultivation world, becoming a world-renowned genius. If Jiang Wang’s sword was truly a regular combat power, then he was simply completing a limit long jump on the limit. How was that possible?
Either Jiang Wang had already transcended the Tenglong Realm, but had been hiding his cultivation all along. Or, his sword borrowed external force.
Coupled with the fact that he was the last to enter the Game of Life and Death, it was not difficult to speculate that it was because he needed to make some preparations.
Losing to such a premeditated sword, which had been prepared for who knows how long and was difficult to replicate, seemed relatively less difficult to accept.
But the problem is, others don’t know!
Those who don’t know would think that he, Lei Zhangan, was living up to his reputation.
He originally wanted to fight three opponents at once, defeat the alliance of Li Fengyao, Jiang Wuxie, and Fang Chong, and directly eliminate the three strongest opponents, to boost his own reputation. And he could indeed do it. But what he didn’t expect was that he would become a stepping stone, using his reputation to achieve Jiang Wang’s reputation.
Reputation is very important! Especially for the heir of a large family like him. The interests involved are not just his own.
Now, if he wants to restore his reputation, the only thing he can do is to defeat Jiang Wang in public. Use head-on, real strength to prove himself. Prove that the failure in the Floating Continent World was just the other party taking advantage of the situation – in this way, although Jiang Wang can still step on his reputation to rise, he will not be stepped on too badly.
Therefore, Lei Zhangan deliberately waited in Seven Stars Valley and refused to leave, waiting for Jiang Wang to return before appearing, in order to “explain” to the audience the “truth” of his misstep, and at the same time provoke a fight to complete the salvation of his reputation.
He did come out to speak with the purpose of provocation… but he hadn’t even started provoking yet, and this kid was already so aloof and arrogant, what was going on?
He had already been seen through, and was still bluffing here.
All are means that cannot be put on the stage!
Lei Zhangan only felt ridiculous.
“You can win, but you are just taking advantage of the situation.”
He looked at Jiang Wang, shaking his head with a sneer: “How can you really think that you deserve to win the championship?”
Jiang Wang of course knew Lei Zhangan’s thoughts, choosing to return to Seven Stars Valley after others was a kind of precaution.
However, he had not appeared in the Tiankui Star position immediately, which had already given Lei Zhangan enough time to calm down.
But Lei Zhangan still made this choice.
Since he was going to be provoked anyway, there was no need to put on a friendly face.
People who really want to slap you will not slap you lighter because you send your face over.
So, facing Lei Zhangan, he showed his arrogance.
“Whether I deserve it or not, I have already won the championship.” Jiang Wang looked back at Lei Zhangan indifferently: “What about you, Lei the Quick Escaper?”
