Chapter 263
As Jiang Chen came closer, some people in the square noticed him.
The formal disciples looked weird. It seemed like they were afraid of him. Most of the disciples had been laughing at Jiang Chen behind his back. Only few had the nerve to provoke him face to face.
The disciples of the east courtyard could still recall the day when Su Li had been beaten up.
The short-term disciple also reacted strangely. He had apparently recognized Jiang Chen. His hands were gripping the broom tightly. The veins on them had popped out.
“You won’t allow him to take part in the competition?” Jiang Chen went straight to the point.
“He… he hasn’t finished his task yet.” A bully is always a coward. The leader of those formal disciples had intended to show he wasn’t afraid of Jiang Chen, but his tone had sold him out.
“Sweeping? If you keep talking bullsh*t like this, I’ll use you as a broom!” Jiang Chen shouted.
Early graduation?
It sounded pretty, but it was actually expulsion.
However, what he had said wasn’t totally wrong. That was why the Sacred Institute hadn’t arranged any courses for him.
He didn’t need any instruction in terms of skill.
In terms of practice, he was already a Reaching Heaven State. He had hit his bottleneck.
“Sure, if your performance today is good enough, we might let you join the Hall of Heroes,” the dean said again.
Many people had thought the dean was creating difficulties for Jiang Chen, but by then they changed their mind.
It looked more like a test.
But when they thought of what kind of rivals Jiang Chen would face this day, they once again changed their mind and thought the dean was deliberately making things difficult for him.
“No, there’re still many difficulties for him.”
There was no chance for him to win. It was impossible for him to join the Hall of Heroes.
Only Jiang Chen understood why the dean was doing this. He looked towards Shi Gandang. The latter’s expression was an affirmative answer.
Shi Gandang must have told the higher-ups what Jiang Chen had told him. They didn’t believe him, so on this day, they were going to test him.
Ying Wushuang glanced at Jiang Chen, then left with her subordinates.
Jiang Chen thought he had seen empathy in her eyes, but he wasn’t sure. Maybe it was just an illusion.
“Jiang Chen, you’d better show us a wonderful fight. Otherwise, the east courtyard won’t send you back. You’ll walk back on foot!” the master of the east courtyard said unhappily.
Jiang Chen frowned at him. He didn’t know what had happened.
He didn’t know that if he couldn’t prove what he had said to be true, Shi Gandang would lose his job.
Although Shi Gandang was a hot-tempered guy and often burst out into cursing, those of the east courtyard found him indispensable.
Both disciples and teachers respected him a lot.
Fortunately, the disciples of the east courtyard knew nothing about it yet. Otherwise, Jiang Chen would have been attacked by them.
“Find a place to sit. Prepare yourself well. You’ll have a big challenge today,” Shi Gandang said.
“Yeah, it’ll be a long day!” the dean of the south courtyard sneered. He was gloating, because Su Li had broken through to the Reaching Heaven State in order to take revenge on him that day!
