Chapter 245
Nan Gong was focusing on the go board on the stone table. The black and white go pieces had covered the whole board.
He didn’t have a go piece in his hand. He had no rival either. It meant he was trying to crack a game left by others.
Jiang Chen glanced at the board and found it was the Exquisite Composition. By using Life and Death, a go technique, the composition contained Kos inside Kos. There were both Impasse and Eternal Life. It was an ingenious design.
“The guy who deployed this composition was obviously showing off his technique,” Jiang Chen said after a few glances.
Nan Gong hadn’t paid any attention to him until then. He was surprised to see Jiang Chen there. He said, “Isn’t today your first day of classes?”
“I was expelled,” Jiang Chen said directly, with no intention of hiding it from Nan Gong.
Nan Gong smiled, and whether it was for Jiang Chen’s frankness or the fact that he had been kicked out of class on his first day, he didn’t know.
Jiang Chen knew Nan Gong was going to instruct him. Although he was happy to be called genius, he knew talent was different from experience.
He would greatly benefit from the instruction of Nan Gong.
They started to play.
On the other hand, Mifa had finished the day’s morning class and walked out of the classroom. She thought that short-term disciple should have learned a lesson and would change his attitude, but when she walked out of the door, Jiang Chen wasn’t there.
She was irritated when she realized what this could mean. She had always been a serious person. At that moment, her serious face darkened, which was terrifying.
…
….
Jiang Chen was brought to the dean’s office by the Department of Discipline after the game with Nan Gong.
As soon as he entered the room, Shui Yuechuan said, “You might think only the enhancement of state and martial arts techniques is practice, but in fact, after you achieve the Reaching Heaven State, there will be few fair fights. What you’ll frequently see is ruthless killing.
“There are many ways to kill, tactical formations, poisons, and so on. A sword genius could die of poison without getting the chance to draw his sword out.
“The things you can learn in the Heaven Grade and the Earth Grade of the Sacred Institute may not be able to help you achieve the peak, but at least you won’t be as ignorant as a newborn anymore.”
Yi Yuechuan thought Jiang Chen’s improper attitude came from his misunderstanding of the Sacred Institute’s courses.
Many short-term disciples had had difficulties in adapting to life in the Sacred Institute. They were eager to enhance their martial arts techniques and states.
“Dean, I know what you mean. Not just any group can train disciples like the Sacred Institute. However, the courses here aren’t very helpful to me at the moment.”
“The tactical formation knowledge taught today was very superficial to me,” Jiang Chen said.
Yi Yuechuan wasn’t very happy when she realized what he meant. She found him too arrogant.
“In the Earth Grade, besides tactical formations, we also teach pharmacology, medicines, poisons, spiritual weapons, the relation between Twelve Standard Meridians, and holy points.”
“If they are as superficial as what I learned today, they’ll be helpless to me too.”
“Do you mean your level is already above the level of the Earth Grade?”
“Or maybe even the Heaven Grade. Dean, the Sacred Institute can’t help me with these things,” Jiang Chen was neither too proud nor too humble, but everyone would think him arrogant.
Even the Sacred Institute couldn’t help him?
Shui Yuechuan laced her fingers and put her elbows on the table. She asked, “So what do you want?”
“The Time Palace,” Jiang Chen said.
