Chapter 52
“Good!”
Jiang Chen was glad instead of scared. He wanted to irritate Zhang Shichao.
All energy had a source. Zhang Shichao had consumed all his genuine yuan in order to exert such a powerful knife movement, and he was about to reach his limit after a random attack.
This attack of his marked his decline.
It was exactly the opportunity Jiang Chen was waiting for.
“The third movement of the Rainbow Sword Method: the arc of rainbow!”
His attack surprised everyone.
“What the Natural Law School values is a disciple’s potential to develop. Wealth and influence are essential conditions to serve this purpose,” Ning Ping said.
“I can work with you, but I want to kill him with my own hands!” Zhang Shichao felt lucky when he realized what was happening, but at the same time, he made a request.
One special thing about the Eternal Flame List was that if anyone on the list was beaten, he would be removed from the list instead of dropping down.
If he wanted to return to the list, he had to challenge someone on the list.
Zhang Shichao’s ranking on the Eternal Flame List was number 483. At that moment Jiang Chen took that ranking.
But if Jiang Chen died at the trial ground, it would be a different story.
That’s why Zhang Shichao was so eager to kill him. At that time he felt confident, since Ning Ping’s team was there.
Their rival was superior in number and gear. Jiang Chen and Wen Xin looked at each other and chose to escape. “So, run!”
A chase began. It was not only the first killing but also the one on the greatest scale at the trial ground.
The elders on the airships certainly paid attention to it.
“What Jiang Chen is facing is the most difficult situation in the history of the trial. If he is still alive in two days, let’s accept him as our disciple ahead of time.”
An elder with grey hair who was already over fifty said.
Although the Natural Law School insisted on recruiting unyielding disciples, they knew everyone had a limit.
In Jiang Chen’s case, it would be too much to require him to make it through the whole trial alive.
This elder treasured Jiang Chen’s talent, so he didn’t want him to die.
The elders beside him didn’t oppose him and kept their silence, but another elder said, “Elder Cloudcrane, I don’t think this is a good idea. People will talk if they hear about it.”
Elder Cloudcrane was irritated, not because someone had opposed him, but because of what that elder had just said.
As he recalled, last year that elder had recruited a disciple with talent ahead of time. He and the others hadn’t opposed at that time, so he actually owed them a favor.
But at that moment he was talking nonsense. Of course Elder Cloudcrane was angry with him.
Elder Li isn’t someone who doesn’t return the favor, and we have no bad blood between us. Is he hiding something from us?
Elder Cloudcrane kept dwelling on the matter. Suddenly, something occurred to him.
Elder Li and the other elders had greatly supported Ning Haotian. They wanted him to be the next leader.
That Ning Ping was also from the Nings. And he seemed to be Ning Haotian’s cousin!
Jiang Chen? Is he that Ning Chen who was robbed of the holy pulse?
Elder Cloudcrane swiftly understood the situation. No wonder Elder Li didn’t want Jiang Chen to join the Natural Law School!
