I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 158 - 153: Jiang Ruochan’s Departure

Just like Jiang Ruochan said, shortly after she made a phone call, Jiang Hou's backend system indicated an additional two hundred fifty thousand points worth of exchange quota.

This thing is like an exchange coupon, allowing exchanges within the Celestial Punishment for necessary extraordinary materials but cannot be traded.

"Since you're here, I'll help you upgrade your rank as well. The internal level of Celestial Punishment comprises both realm and battle achievements."

"You're currently in a Tier Six beast form, and with this battle achievement exceeding one hundred thousand, you're eligible for a Major's rank."

"Oh, and I'll appoint you as a deputy minister of the Yidu City Branch, which will allow you to receive some additional benefits every month—no reason to turn it down."

As Jiang Ruochan spoke, she tapped on the computer a few times and sent out a document: "There, it's submitted. Once headquarters stamps it, it'll take effect."

While the ranks within the Celestial Punishment Branch mirror those of the military, they only pertain to honors and internal authority levels, not directly affiliated with the military.

Even so, a Major's rank and deputy minister of the Yidu Province Celestial Punishment Branch mean Jiang Hou has a considerable status in the Dongqin Kingdom.

Of course, he knew this status all came from his strength. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Having completed these tasks, Jiang Ruochan said, "I will leave Yidu at noon. In the upcoming days while Xia Longyuan is in seclusion, any high-level extraordinary disturbances are your responsibility to suppress."

"Naturally." Jiang Hou nodded.

Having received state benefits, one naturally needs to shoulder certain responsibilities.

As for Jiang Ruochan's departure, Jiang Hou was not surprised. Her mission was to suppress the Demon God, and with its death, she had no reason to stay.

Looking at the calm-faced black-haired youth in front of her, Jiang Ruochan encouraged him: "Keep pushing forward, strive to break through to Tier Seven sooner, and I'll take you with me on an expedition deep into the ruins."

"In the outside world, Tier Four is considered an expert, fit to oversee a city, but deep within the ruins, you need at least Tier Seven strength to survive."

Jiang Hou nodded: "I'll certainly try my best."

These powerhouses like Jiang Ruochan venture deep into the ruins all for resources.

However, those resources correspond to those at Tier Seven, Eight, or even Nine.

Currently, apart from the Immortal Demon and Giant Beast, all other six major systems involve space and domain when crossing into Tier Seven, requiring higher-level heritage items.

...

On the second underground level of the branch, a wide pit with a diameter of eight meters and a length of a hundred meters housed a massive black pillar lying horizontally.

After yesterday's battle, the surface of the black steel pillar had some pitting, and as Jiang Hou said, several dragon-shaped engravings were already deformed.

The Celestial Spirit Demon-Suppressing Pillar had a manufacturing strength requirement of Tier Six, enough to withstand attacks from Tier Six giant beasts and creatures.

Therefore, despite the attacks from that Demon God having Dominance Power and Demon Evil covering it, the Celestial Spirit Demon-Suppressing Pillar still sustained slight damage.

Normally, a Tier Six extraordinary weapon doesn't cost that much, as a single one only requires two to three thousand points.

The Celestial Spirit Demon-Suppressing Pillar is so expensive because of its size, consuming hundreds to thousands of times more basic alloy, and dozens of times that of extraordinary materials of similar level weapons.

Looking at the massive weapon in front of him, Xiong Chao shook his head: "Major Jiang, I can help you repair these damages, but further strengthening is difficult."

Jiang Hou was taken aback: "Isn't two hundred thousand points enough?"

"It's not about the points."

Xiong Chao shook his head: "According to your requirements to extend the Demon Suppression Pillar to 150 meters and a diameter of 12 meters, these are not major problems. The original casting included growth fusion features."

"But the feature to extend and elongate by twice its length needs the Nine Transformations Divine Crystal, and at least ten pieces of it."

"Moreover, Tier Seven powerhouses have already condensed domains. Their strength is domineering, and requires the smelting of large amounts of Red Copper Divine Steel, a material I can't dissolve."

"Including the Nine Transformations Divine Crystal, with my current decomposition capabilities, I can only dissolve and melt one a day!"

"...This." Jiang Hou didn't expect the material issues to be resolved, but Xiong Chao's 'refining level' wasn't sufficient to forge weapons above Tier Seven.

Jiang Ruochan, standing by, spoke: "The Yidu City Branch previously only had three small channels, with weaker overall configurations, so it couldn't forge Tier Seven weapons, which is quite normal."

"Moreover, there aren't many branches domestically that can forge above Tier Seven extraordinary weapons, apart from headquarters, only Demon Sea City, Bai Zhou City, and a few other first-line provincial cities."

"Then it looks like I'll have to go to Demon Sea City." At this point, Jiang Hou paused slightly, "I'm just not sure if it'll be troublesome to ask those people for help."

Jiang Ruochan gave a faint smile: "It's not an issue. I'll give you a recommendation there, and I happen to be heading in that direction."

"The society president has connections there too." Jiang Hou was somewhat surprised.

"I know the two deputy ministers at that branch, and you just need to exchange materials according to Minister Feng's calculated structure list and have them sent to Demon Sea City."

"As for the additional alloy, placing orders directly with that city's metal group would be more convenient."

"Once enough materials are gathered, bring the Celestial Spirit Demon-Suppressing Pillar over."

With Jiang Ruochan's help, the weapon enhancement issue was solved, and after handling all these matters, the black-haired girl went directly to the airport and left Yidu.

Only Jiang Hou and a few others like Feng Qing knew about her departure, keeping it very low-key.

Moreover, Jiang Ruochan declined Jiang Hou's offer to see her off, which made her appear quite carefree.

"Life is full of meetings and partings." With this sentiment, Jiang Hou walked out of the branch, ready to get food in another space.

Upon arriving at the nearby natural park, he found it bustling, with dozens of large excavators digging up mountains and leveling land, and bulldozers transporting dirt and rubble.

Simultaneously, near the light-screen entrance in the distance, many engineering vehicles were coming and going, including components for some large-scale attack weaponry.

Killing the Demon God was just the beginning. Next, both ends of the dimensional space and the channels will be developed into military bases to defend against monster onslaughts and exploit relic resources.

However, professionals are responsible for these matters, and they have nothing to do with Jiang Hou.

Upon entering the dimensional space, Jiang Hou found a logistics department head, and after signing off the confirmation, was led to a massive makeshift warehouse.

The enormous warehouse was a hundred meters tall and over two hundred meters wide, filled with the bodies of seven Tier Six and twenty-eight Tier Five ferocious beasts Jiang Hou had 'purchased.'

The middle-aged manager said politely: "Major Jiang, all the ferocious beast bodies are here. Do you want to inspect them?"

"No need, carry on with your work."

"Alright, then I won't disturb Major Jiang." The middle-aged man nodded and, as he left, closed the enormous warehouse gate behind him.

Although Jiang Hou was only eighteen, in any era, a strong individual commands respect.

And the terrifying strength Jiang Hou displayed in yesterday's battle had left everyone in the branch in awe; no one dared underestimate this young man who was still a high school senior.

Roar!

A violent, resounding low roar erupted, and in an instant, Jiang Hou's killing form shed its black and white light, his figure rapidly inflating, transforming into a daunting giant beast over sixty meters tall.

Golden flames fiercely blazed from its body, evaporating the air and rapidly increasing the warehouse's temperature.

Moreover, the ground at its feet cracked, burned, and gradually turned into rolling magma.

Puff!!

A hand enveloped in blazing golden flames grabbed a Tier Five ferocious beast's corpse. Under the fire's scorching, the beast's tough fur was instantly incinerated to ash.

Boom! The ground shook as the Dark Armored Giant Ape sat down heavily, starting to tear and devour voraciously.

Rip! Sharp fangs and the beast's terrifying bite force allowed the Dark Armored Giant Ape to easily tear apart the skin of a Tier Five ferocious beast, ripping off huge chunks of flesh with each bite.

In the silent and spacious warehouse, with heaps of ferocious beast corpses, and the black giant ape devouringly feasting while enveloped in golden flames, the scene was inexplicably eerie.
