Chapter 131
That day was the official day of the duel, but the time was unknown.
According to the consensus of people of the Fire Field, it would be between noon and dusk, so no one was in a hurry. They gathered together, chatting, enjoying tea and exquisite pastries, and listening to music. Some were even dancing on the giant tower ship.
Suddenly, someone jumped onto the exquisite ship of the Peak of Ingénue from the tower ship.
The loud sound startled the disciples of the Peak of Ingénue who were on the deck. The ship was also shaking.
“Who is that? How could he act so bossy and direct?”
“Even I was afraid I would offend the beauty, but he jumped on board in such a rude manner!” Wu Yong was surprised, too.
As a disciple of the Natural Law School, Tang Ke was irritated, but his anger eased up when he identified who it was.
The Natural Law School would probably like to see such a result.
Although Jiang Chen would lose face, he would keep his life.
“If it’s true, he shouldn’t have given himself three months. If he wasn’t confident, he could have made it a year or half a year. He insisted on trying to be a hero, but in the end chickened out. How boring!”
“Did we come here for nothing? The blessed one with the holy pulse is nothing great.”
“I’m bored. It’s a rare chance that we’re all here. Why don’t we have a competition?”
“We’re in the Natural Law School. Later, after we leave, let’s find a place to have a fight?”
“Sounds good.”
People started to discuss what to do next. Some even left, disappointed.
“Send a message to the Redcloud Peak. If Jiang Chen isn’t here by dusk, I’ll go to his peak to fight against him. If that happens, I’ll need the school’s elders to crack his tactical formation!”
Li Qin’s words stopped people from leaving.
They looked at each other and burst into cheers.
“Looks like Li Qin is unwilling to give up the fight.”
“She has to fight because it’s her punishment. But even though Jiang Chen hasn’t shown up, she still insists on fighting. How confident she must be!”
“How resolute she is to kill Jiang Chen!”
A disciple went to the Redcloud Peak to pass on the message.
“I’ve spent the whole day waiting for him. Now I’m really interested to see what this Jiang Chen looks like,” the Third Prince said discontentedly.
“Will he escape after receiving the message? Send someone to take a look.”
“Ha, if he escapes, he’ll leave himself open to ridicule.”
“If he hasn’t showed up yet, he must have wimped out. Although humiliated, at least he knows who he is. If he escapes from the school, it will be an indelible stain on his whole life.”
“He made the challenge, so he has to bear the consequences. That’s what he deserves.”
The crowd was disappointed, but then they started another heated discussion while expecting the arrival of the dusk.
Suddenly, everyone quieted down. The music also stopped. The dancing girls were listening with attention.
One of the most beautiful sounds in the world came from where the Redcloud Peak was.
A long-lasting chant, clear and melodic.
It was the chanting of a sword, as loud as a dragon’s howl.
In the silence, many people’s swords flew out of the sheaths automatically and flew over to the Redcloud Peak.
“The chanting of a sword. What a loud chanting of a sword!”
“Our swords have gone to worship. It’s the worship of ten thousand swords. Someone has mastered the doctrine of sword!”
“At the Redcloud Peak? Is that the so-called sudden enlightenment of Jiang Chen?”
“Impossible. Where could he have inherited the doctrine of sword? There are no powerful people who have mastered the doctrine of sword in the Natural Law School.”
“There are few even in the whole Fire Field! Could it be the Sword Doctrine of Returning to Oneness of the Sword Sect of Returning to Oneness?”
“Unlikely! Only their key disciples can inherit the Sword Doctrine of Returning to Oneness. It definitely can’t be inherited by unrelated people!”
“Anyway, Jiang Chen has inherited the doctrine of sword!”
Everyone was shocked. They all stopped laughing at Jiang Chen.
At the Peak of Drifting Clouds, Li Qin had an unreadable expression.
