Chapter 298
The Hero Palace held tests every month. Those who got excellent grades would be awarded, but those who got bad grades wouldn’t be punished.
These tests aimed to motivate the disciples.
Talent was a given for them, since they had joined the Hero Palace. It was hard work that came into play next.
Ying Wushuang had only taken the test once, when she had first joined the Hero Palace.
After that, Ying Wushuang had never taken another one.
“The first item is to test how many turns you can manipulate your halos of heaven to make in an instant.
“The difficulty varies with your state and number of halos of heaven you have.
If Mo Jianfei had really wanted to kill him, it would have been easy.
The smile on Jiang Chen’s face faded when he thought about this. He looked very serious at that moment.
Mo Jianfei was approaching him, his upright figure becoming clearer and clearer to Jiang Chen. He looked serious, too.
He was in white, looking extraordinarily special.
His look was as cold as if he looked down on the whole world.
He was holding his sword in his left hand and drew it out with his right.
The sound of the unique, treasured sword drawn out of its sheath was the most beautiful sound in the world to a swordsman’s ears.
The glow of the sword was like moonlight, white, bright, and omnipresent.
Ying Wushuang’s pupils shrank. She shouted loudly, “Mo Jianfei, are you going to…”
Before she could finish, Mo Jianfei had launched an attack.
It was so fast that no one could see it.
Ying Wushuang hadn’t seen Jiang Chen’s right hand bleeding until Mo Jianfei had put his sword back into its sheath and turned around to leave.
Ah!
Jiang Chen shouted painfully. Not until then did he find out he had been injured.
His right arm was dangling weakly. The tendons in the hand he had used to slap Murong Yuan had been cut!
“As weak as you are, shouldn’t you have hid yourself in a corner to work hard instead of running amuck? Haven’t you asked yourself whether you could afford to start fights?”
Mo Jianfei stopped. He took out a white cloth and wiped the blood off the blade. He was doing it so casually that it seemed like merely a trivial matter.
Jiang Chen looked down and suddenly drew his sword out.
“The Sword Method of Ksana: The First Movement!”
Things slowed down. Falling leaves stopped flying in the air. The only thing that was still flowing was the astounding energy of the sword.
With a glint of the blade, Jiang Chen ran forward.
“Oh?”
Mo Jianfei became more serious, his posture not so casual anymore. At the same time as he was thinking, a shapeless field of energy enveloped him.
The blade attacked thousands of times in a second, but the attacks were all warded off by the force field.
“A great attack, but you’re too weak to crack my force field.”
Mo Jianfei didn’t turn around. He just punched backward.
The heavy punch hit against the Red Cloud Sword. Jiang Chen retreated to where he had been. With only one hand, he wasn’t able to take the power of the punch. He lost control of his spiritual sword, and it flew away.
“Haha,” Jiang Chen barked out a harsh laugh, although his condition didn’t look good.
“What are you laughing at?” Mo Jianfei turned around and frowned.
“It was a fight between swords, but you used your force field. You already lost. When I catch up to you in state, I’ll make you pay for the shame of today with your blood,” said Jiang Chen.
“Ignorant.”
Mo Jianfei shook his head lightly and looked towards Ying Wushuang, “So that’s your choice. What bad taste. I see.”
Ying Wushuang had refused him, and now, she was with Jiang Chen.
If Jiang Chen were excellent enough, he might have been jealous, but at that time, he only felt disdain.
“You think you can catch up to me. I’ll smash your unrealistic illusion here and now to wake you up.”
Mo Jianfei was going to draw his sword out again intent on disabling Jiang Chen’s left arm and making him a wasted person.
Even if his hand tendons could be repaired, he would still be greatly influenced.
“What a disgusting hypocrite. You just want to get rid of a threat, but you made it sound so pretty. Bring it on, if you’re good enough!” Jiang Chen provoked.
