Chapter 276
The Hero Palace would only recruit the best geniuses among the new graduates of the Sacred Institute every year.
There were still two months to go until this year’s graduation, which meant the current newbies had been at the Hero Palace for ten months.
These ten months were enough for them to transform and improve.
Murong Xing had joined the Hero Palace two years ago. He had been in the initial phase of the Reaching Heaven State for a long time and had finally moved up to a new level.
As a newbie, it would be impossible for Jiang Chen to dodge his attack.
It was true. Jiang Chen hadn’t drawn his sword or his knife. He had completely given up, just standing there still.
The sword was already very close to him.
“The cuffs weigh thousands of pounds. What a punishment,” Jiang Chen exclaimed.
“The heaviness isn’t the key point.”
The people around smiled disdainfully to show that they knew the secret well.
Being chained in the Hero Palace for a year would make him a complete joke. No one would be friends with him. He wouldn’t achieve anything, not to mention his tasks outside the Hero Palace.
“Elder Du Yue, if I put them on, I’m afraid you’ll be blamed.”
Jiang Chen stood up and ignored the handcuffs.
“What did you say?” Du Yue thought maybe he had misheard him. This new face had had the nerve to speak to him so arrogantly?
Those from the Knife Dragon Association burst out in laughter when they heard him.
“A short-term disciple joined the Hero Palace ahead of time, and he thinks he’s someone important?”
They had investigated Jiang Chen after their quarrel.
The other people weren’t as surprised once they had learned Jiang Chen’s background. In their eyes, Jiang Chen was nothing but a clown.
Du Yue was also very clear that it was impossible for a short-term disciple to have any support in the Dragon Field.
“So you don’t think I can do anything to you? Or I’ll be afraid of this beast?” Du Yue said.
“Anyway, I’ve warned you. If you insist, I’ll accept your justifiable punishment! But hopefully you won’t regret it.” Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders and put the chains on. They clanged when he walked.
“They’re not only heavy, but also painful. Even if I enter the Time Palace, it will just be a waste of time. Wushuang, let’s go. We’d better go back,” Jiang Chen shook his head and said.
“This is only the punishment for now. If anything happens to Murong Xing, you’ll be punished further!” Du Yue didn’t feel it was enough to vent his anger. If there hadn’t been so many people around, he would have slapped Jiang Chen.
“Fine. Let’s sit here for a while.”
Ying Wushuang knew what Jiang Chen was planning. She rolled her eyes and helped Jiang Chen sit down.
The curiosity of those watching was piqued. Would something unexpected happen as Jiang Chen had claimed?
Du Yue was very unhappy. He pointed at Whitty, who was beside them in a bad mood, and shouted, “I won’t let you go anyway. I haven’t heard any news about Murong Xing’s condition yet. If anything happens to him, this beast will be killed immediately!”
“Pity.”
Whitty was a precious mount, both in terms of appearance and strength. It would be quite heartbreaking if he was killed for this.
If they had to find someone to blame, they would blame his master, because he was so stupid that he had asked for trouble himself.
“What happened?”
Suddenly, several lights landed from the air. Several figures showed up outside the Time Palace.
“Wow!”
Everyone was surprised when they saw who had come. They were all important elders with authority in the Hero Palace.
“Elders.”
Even Du Yue had to greet them with respect. He wasn’t feeling well, but he refused to believe what seemed to be true.
“It’s just a coincidence. It must be.”
