Chapter 255
“I’m sure he’ll protest to the top officials.”
Shi Wengong gazed at the receding figure of the Dean of the south courtyard and shook his head.
“Let him be.” Shi Gandang was unhappy, too.
“Well, I’m going to check up on Su Li. Jiang Chen will be dealt with at your discretion.”
The Dean of Students Shi Wengong also left.
Nan Gong and Shi Gandang glanced at each other and let out a sigh at the same time. They went back to Jiang Chen’s room.
“Jiang Chen, you’re very talented in swordsmanship. Work hard. You’ll still be able to achieve something big.”
He had managed to make up quickly for what he had missed in the late stage of the Mental Wander State.
They think I’m insane. I think they’ve failed to see through things.
Jiang Chen found it funny when he recalled how others had looked at him.
“Are you Jiang Chen?”
Suddenly, people with strong energy appeared before him.
The guy in the front was thin and average-looking. He said with a smile, “Please allow me to introduce myself. I’m Liu Wuxin, the class leader of the superfine class of the east courtyard.”
“Yeah?”
He was Jiang Chen’s class leader!
Jiang Chen felt puzzled. The class leader had never contacted him. There must have been a reason for him to show up at this moment.
“They’re from the superfine class, too. We’re classmates!” Liu Wuxin was smiling. He wasn’t putting on airs. It didn’t seem like he wanted to pick a fight, either.
However, except for him, the rest looked as scornful as the others.
“Shall we have a talk?” Liu Wuxin said when he saw Jiang Chen was puzzled.
“Alright.”
They found a table and sat down at it. Liu Wuxin explained what he had come for, the great competition of the four courtyards.
“The four courtyards hold one every few months.
“There are three levels, advanced, intermediate, and beginner.
“The first competition will be among the disciples of the Earth Grade, and the second will be among those of the Heaven Grade.
“Maybe I don’t have to emphasize this, but the key is the Heaven Grade List. Many disciples ranked on the list are already ready to break through to the Reaching Heaven State, but in order to develop the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, they haven’t broken through to it.”
Jiang Chen frowned and said, “I know. What exactly do you mean?”
“The Reaching Heaven State and the Mental Wander State are two levels. Although some people are controlling their progress in order to form more holy points, it’s just a matter of time for them to break through.
“There are many disciples in the Reaching Heaven State in the four courtyards. Their competition is the highest level of the great competition.”
“So?” Jiang Chen said.
Liu Wuxin frowned. He had explained many things, but Jiang Chen still didn’t get it. Was he just pretending or stupid?
“You’re in the Reaching Heaven State, so you will exchange blows with the Reaching Heaven States of the other courtyards. Since you’re in the superfine class, you probably will fight with the members of other superfine classes.”
“And?” Jiang Chen was still puzzled.
A disciple behind Liu Wuxin couldn’t put up with it anymore. He said, “They didn’t mess around with their practice like you. All of them broke through to the Reaching Heaven State from the peak of the late stage, with the Eight Extraordinary Meridians developed. Your Reaching Heaven State isn’t the same as theirs!”
Liu Wuxin was smiling at Jiang Chen. He thought Jiang Chen must have understood their intention since they had made it so clear.
“What do you mean?” It seemed Jiang Chen wanted to irritate him.
“Your case is very special. As class leader, I can spare you a desperate fight. You won’t have to take part in the competition.”
“Thank you for your kind intentions,” Jiang Chen said.
“Not at all. So before the competition, you’d better stop going to the practicing room so that your state won’t improve further. If that happens, even I won’t be able to help you.”
The disciple who had spoken said again, “The Dean said you could use the practice room for ten more days. The class leader has been of great help to you. Why don’t you let him practice there for the next ten days?”
