Chapter 386 - There the News Came
An elder reacted first. He said with hope in his eyes, “You mean you killed someone on the Slay Demon List?”
“That’s right.”
“Really? Who did you kill then?” said Mo Jianfei. He sounded like he didn’t believe Jiang Chen at all.
“Liu Shayang,” Ying Wushuang answered for Jiang Chen. She had made sure Jiang Chen wasn’t lying to her by that point, but her words made everyone around feel strange.
The vice presidents of the Sword Association burst out in laughter, despite their injuries.
“Liu Shayang killed Duan Wuhui at the Wind Moon City only two days ago. His strength deserves much better than number ten on the Slay Demon List!”
Mo Jianfei looked complacent, as if he had exposed Jiang Chen’s lie.
The news came faster than Jiang Chen had expected. Not even an hour had passed since the elders had left with the recording reel when a line appeared on smooth stone surfaces all over the Hero Palace.
“Liu Shayang, ranked tenth on the Slay Demon List, was killed at the Wind Moon City. Jiang Chen completed his task successfully.”
They were simple sentences, and what they meant was quite clear. They caused a great stir in many skeptical people.
It was true. It was really true!
Jiang Chen hadn’t lied. He had completed his task in the past few days, and he had picked Liu Shayang, who was a hot topic.
The next day, The Sacred Daily also reported it. And it was a headline, reported with more details.
From the description of the bystanders in the Wind Moon City, people came to know how powerful Jiang Chen had been in that fight.
As for those who were dark inside and thought the Hero Palace had helped Jiang Chen, the report also shut them up.
This time, Jiang Chen’s name was no longer strange to people.
It was unnecessary to mention him and include “who had defeated Gao Tiange in the competition held by the Sacred Institute” anymore.
People’s first impression of him was how strong he had been to kill Liu Shayang and how talented he was at such a young age.
At the same time, he was ranked on List A of the Dragon Rise List without any doubts. He took Liu Shayang’s rank, ninety-eighth, but people knew he was far better than that.
In the Hero Palace, people started to anticipate the fight between Jiang Chen and Mo Jianfei.
They had to admit that when Jiang Chen had challenged Mo Jianfei, they hadn’t believed it at all.
But by then, they knew Jiang Chen was really something. They were sure the fight would be quite wonderful.
Jiang Chen was preparing for it. His target was not only Mo Jianfei, but number one on the Dragon Rise List.
If he couldn’t achieve that, it would be less feasible for him to marry his apprentice sister.
He needed this month to practice the Dragon and Elephant Method and study the phoenix blood’s wonderful effects.
When he could receive aid from the power of both the dragon and phoenix, plus his extraordinary meridians and the holy pulse, Mo Jianfei would be easy to defeat.
However, neither the Dragon and Elephant Method nor phoenix blood were simple. It was nearly impossible for him to become proficient in both of them in one month.
