ACSP: Chapter 9: Official Classified Document, Jiang Chen may have contracted a hidden character!
"Watch out."
City Lord Li Hongfei didn't hesitate in decisively intervening to intercept the lightning blade.
However, the moment he touched the lightning blade.
He actually sensed a familiar Chakra.
Could the person hiding in that tree be...
City Lord Li Hongfei looked up at the large tree and said in surprise: "Come out, stop hiding."
As soon as he finished speaking.
A figure jumped down from the tree on their own.
And the moment they saw the person clearly.
Everyone was stunned.
Because they could see that the guy who jumped down from the tree was actually Jiang Chen.
"How is that possible?"
Captain Liu Lei's brain froze.
He turned back to look at the 'Jiang Chen' he had just fought.
As their gazes met.
That 'Jiang Chen' turned into a puff of white smoke and disappeared.
"This is... a Shadow Clone?"
A look of disbelief appeared in Captain Liu Lei's eyes.
Damn it.
Has this guy been fighting me with a Shadow Clone the whole time?
A Shadow Clone was actually able to force me to fuse with my contracted character.
City Lord Li Hongfei looked at Jiang Chen calmly: "Captain Liu Lei had already stopped just now, why did you continue attacking him?"
Jiang Chen said indifferently: "Sorry, my blade slipped; I didn't manage to pull back my strength in time."
City Lord Li Hongfei twitched the corner of his mouth.
What a great "my blade slipped."
You clearly wanted to kill Captain Liu Lei just now.
City Lord, I have some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
Captain Liu Lei had completely lost face this time and could only make up a random excuse to leave first.
However, From that moment on, he harbored a deep and unshakable grudge against Jiang Chen.
He secretly swor in his heart that the next time City Lord Li Hongfei was not around, he would definitely regain the face he had lost in front of Li Yanran.
After Captain Liu Lei left, City Lord Li Hongfei also took Li Yanran away.
Jiang Chen turned and walked into the villa that Li Yanran had chosen for him.
He planned to spend the day properly organizing the skills of Naruto and Sasuke.
He would wait until tomorrow to go and take a look at the secret realm entrance controlled by the City Lord's Mansion.
After all, Ninjutsu skills are very particular about synergy.
If two complementary Ninjutsu are coordinated well, they can greatly increase the power of the Ninjutsu.
In the original Naruto series, this kind of Ninjutsu is called Combined Ninjutsu.
Although the professionals in this world have obtained Ninjutsu skills from the Hokage dimension, they do not know much about the application and understanding of Ninjutsu.
Many people do not even know what Combined Ninjutsu is.
...
City Lord's Office.
After bringing Li Yanran in, City Lord Li Hongfei immediately locked the door and pulled the curtains shut.
Li Yanran looked curious: "Dad, you were in such a rush to call me here, what is actually going on?"
City Lord Li Hongfei said excitedly: "Xiao Ran, I think you might have struck gold this time."
"Struck gold? I don't understand what you're talking about?"
"Hahaha~"
City Lord Li Hongfei laughed: "You used to play games, you should have heard of the term 'hidden class', right?"
"I've heard of it, but what does that have to do with me striking gold?"
Li Yanran blinked in confusion, still unable to understand her father's words.
"Come here, I'll show you some confidential information collected by the authorities, and you'll understand."
City Lord Li Hongfei brought Li Yanran to the computer and then opened an internal official website.
This website recorded the data of various Contractors.
However, most of the contract objects of the Contractors listed were Genin and Chunin.
[Might Duy, Ninja Rank: Genin, Suspected Hidden Character, Real strength comparable to Kage level, Features: Possesses the Taijutsu secret technique 'Eight Gates']
[Maruboshi Kosuke, Ninja Rank: Genin, Suspected Hidden Character, Real strength comparable to Elite Jonin, Features: Possesses over a hundred Ninjutsu skills]
[Hyuga Hinata, Ninja Rank: Chunin, Suspected Hidden Character, Real strength comparable to Elite Jonin, Features: Possesses a very strong Byakugan Bloodline Limit, top-tier Gentle Fist Taijutsu]
[Yakushi Kabuto, Ninja Rank: Genin, Suspected Hidden Character, Real strength comparable to Kage level...]
[...]
Looking at the character information on this internal website, Li Yanran suddenly understood something.
She turned to look at City Lord Li Hongfei and said: "Dad, do you mean that Jiang Chen has also contracted a hidden character?"
City Lord Li Hongfei nodded with a smile: "Yes, among the two Genin he contracted, one of them must be a hidden character, otherwise his strength could not possibly be so formidable."
Li Yanran's eyes shone: "If that's really the case, then Chen Chuxi has truly lost out big time."
City Lord Li Hongfei also began to look forward to it: "Now, I just don't know if the hidden character Jiang Chen has contracted is an Elite Jonin or Kage level. If it's Kage level, then his potential will definitely not be below that of Chen Chuxi."
At this moment, City Lord Li Hongfei already had the intention to fully nurture Jiang Chen.
All of this was thanks to that Captain Liu Lei. If it weren't for his actions, he wouldn't have been able to discover the secret about Jiang Chen so quickly.
...
The next morning.
As soon as dawn broke, Li Yanran knocked on the door of Jiang Chen's villa.
Jiang Chen was a newcomer to the City Lord's Mansion, and Li Yanran planned to take him to see the secret realm entrance managed by the City Lord's Mansion today to familiarize him with the environment.
Jiang Chen had the same intention. Thus, after eating breakfast, the two of them left the city together.
The City Lord's Mansion currently manages a total of two secret realms.
One is a beginner-level secret realm known as [Village of the Bloody Mist], with its entrance located in a valley 30 kilometers away from Jinghai City.
The other is an intermediate-level secret realm called [Rebellion in the Land of Waves], with its entrance near the ferry terminal north of Jinghai City.
The entry requirement for the intermediate secret realm is level 21-50. Jiang Chen is currently unable to enter.
Therefore, the secret realm entrance they were heading to this time was [Village of the Bloody Mist].
...
Half an hour later.
Jiang Chen and Li Yanran arrived at the valley where the secret realm was located.
There was a team of guards patrolling outside the valley. Anyone who wanted to enter the valley had to pay a certain amount of money to get in.
However, there were also some people who only needed to take out their identity tokens to enter directly.
"Don't underestimate these beginner secret realms; there are actually many resources that can be obtained inside."
Li Yanran patiently explained to Jiang Chen: "Civilians without any power background who want to enter this secret realm need to pay a certain amount of supplies, and those supplies can meet the daily demand of our City Lord's Mansion."
"In addition, we also organize some people under level 20 to specifically farm the secret realm. The rewards obtained after clearing the secret realm are also an important source of supplies."
During his three years in the Chen family, all of Jiang Chen's actions were closely monitored by the Chen family.
Although the Chen family treated him very well on the surface, granting every request, in reality, they had always treated him as their exclusive possession.
They had never disclosed any of the Chen family's businesses to Jiang Chen.
Therefore, Jiang Chen was completely unaware of the benefits a secret realm could bring to a family in terms of resource supply.
However, today, with Li Yanran's introduction, he finally understood everything.
No wonder those family powers were desperate to fight for the ownership of these secret realm entrances. It turned out that a secret realm could bring them so many benefits!
At this moment, a question suddenly occurred to Jiang Chen.
"Since your City Lord's Mansion has so many professionals under level 20, why don't you select a few level 20 people from among them to participate in the secret realm competition a week from now?"
Li Yanran explained with a smile: "These people are all professionals who failed the contract ceremony last year or the year before, or people with a talent level below level 3. Do you think sending them to compete would win anything?"
