Chapter 53
It was widely known that the Black Dragon City had robbed Jiang Chen of his holy pulse. Unlike the Nings, most people felt angry about what had been done.
But what could they do? Ning Haotian was growing up fast. Besides, they were related to the royal family. No one dared to condemn their crime, and the victim, at the time, had only been a trivial force in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
If the Windblade hadn’t shown his astonishing strength when he was seeking justice in the Black Dragon City, maybe no one would have heard about what had happened.
If Jiang Chen joined the Natural Law School, people would be reminded of what Ning Haotian had done, and this would be an unfavorable factor for him if he wanted to compete for the leader’s position.
Elder Li was expecting to have a bright future after Ning Haotian became leader. Of course he wouldn’t allow Jiang Chen to pass the trial so easily.
Elder Cloudcrane had been unhappy with what the Black Dragon City had done for a long time. The moment when he saw Jiang Chen with his own eyes, he was impressed by the latter’s performance.
“This Jiang Chen is from the Southwind Ridge of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. He’s the guy whose holy pulse was robbed by Ning Haotian,” Elder Cloudcrane said.
“Ha, great. He is so surprising,” Elder Cloudcrane was pleasantly surprised.
Elder Li pulled a long face. If everyone had infinite time, everyone could be a master. But the problem was that everyone had to make efforts to enhance their states and practice martial arts techniques at the same time.
They didn’t have spare time to spend on other things, otherwise they would only become a Jack of all trades and master of none.
Jiang Chen had mastered the full spirit of the sword. This must have taken him a lot of time, but he was in a good state as well. He was definitely the cream of the crop, a genuine genius.
But that was not enough. At the moment Jiang Chen showed that he could deploy tactical formations, too!
How did he do it?
Tactical formations were as complicated and mysterious as refining panaceas. Only those unable to enhance their states any more would spend time in studying them.
Where did he get so many pure yang stones? That was what Elder Li was wondering. The energy source of Jiang Chen’s formation was pure yang stones.
At first glance, those pure yang stones were quite valuable. Average people couldn’t have attained them.
Of course, he didn’t know Jiang Chen’s home had a whole strain of pure yang minerals to tap into.
While Jiang Chen was deploying his tactical formation, Ning Ping and Zhang Shichao had caught up to him. Ning Ping’s subordinates surrounded Jiang Chen completely.
“Won’t you keep running?” Zhang Shichao showed a grim smile.
“You suffered defeat at my hands. How do you have the nerve to say this to me?” Jiang Chen asked.
“What did you say?! That was only because I fell into your trap. Do you really think you can beat me?” Zhang Shichao said angrily.
“Really? I’ll give you another chance then. Bring it on if you have the nerve,” Jiang Chen sneered, ignoring Ning Ping and the others.
“Great!”
Zhang Shichao didn’t give it a second thought. Even the elders in the air didn’t expect he could deploy tactical formations, let alone young Zhang Shichao.
“This time I won’t use my sword. I’ll beat you with a knife.”
It seemed Jiang Chen wanted more. He put away the Redcloud Sword and took out an ordinary long knife.
Zhang Shichao pulled a long face. He wanted to rip Jiang Chen apart.
“Go to hell!”
Zhang Shichao charged into the formation with long strides.
