Chapter 50
Su Qian was also watching Jiang Chen. She was quite satisfied with herself for the good result she had achieved.
At the moment Jiang Chen was looking at the rare stone and thinking to himself, “They test the genuine yuan one has achieved from practice to judge one’s method class. The higher one’s method class is, the more difficult it is, and the stronger the rare stone will react. Then they can decide how great one’s talent is.”
All talent test tools worked in the same way. They decided one’s talent by some measurement.
Jiang Chen knew he had to try his best, since he only had this one chance. If he didn’t satisfy the requirement, he would have no more opportunities.
So he put his hand onto the rare stone and put his best effort forth.
To everyone’s surprise, the rare stone started to shake. The light beam surged up like water rushed over a broken dam.
One hundred zhangs was just a start. Under that horrible strength, the light beam reached two hundred zhangs, and then three hundred zhangs… It didn’t stop until it reached five hundred zhangs.
One of the elders was speaking from the airship. His wasn’t speaking in a loud voice, but everyone could hear him perfectly.
By the time the incense stick burnt out, almost no one had chickened out.
Eight air ships landed in the square.
The candidates in the square went aboard very quickly.
The airships left in the wake of envious looks from bystanders in the square, and soon disappeared from sight.
The trial ground was a long mountain range. After arriving there, the airships landed in different places in a random manner so that the candidates could get off.
“The trial begins now!
“The flags of the natural law have been placed all around the trial ground. You can become a disciple of the Natural Law School after collecting five flags of different colors.”
After everyone got off the airships, the elders also headed for different locations to observe the candidates’ performances in the next five days.
All the candidates got off in random order. There were ten-odd persons in every place.
Jiang Chen found Su Qian happened to have landed at the same place as he had, yet they had been on different ships.
The other nine were strangers to him.
They were very vigilant. Especially when they recognized Jiang Chen and recalled what Zhang Shichao had said, they left where they had landed as soon as possible.
Su Qian was nervous, too. She knew she wasn’t good enough and it was very dangerous for her at the trial ground.
She had to find Shen Huan as soon as possible.
She had already known Shen Huan in Ninedragons. He said he could help her join the Natural Law School, since Su Qian had a great talent, but her strength wasn’t good enough at that time.
She could succeed if she could get five flags smoothly with his help.
At that moment, a brilliant fire surged up not far away. It could be clearly observed even in the daylight.
Su Qian was relieved. That was Shen Huan’s signal. She was about to head there.
“Hahahaha!”
However, Zhang Shichao’s arrogant laugh sounded somewhere near.
“Jiang Chen! Jiang Chen! Hurry up, hurry and run away! The storm is coming!”
His voice was like a great bell. The sound wave came like a wild wind, shaking the whole forest.
It brought people great distress. Su Qian gave a pitying look to Jiang Chen and said, “This is what you get for showing off.”
“The weak,” Jiang Chen said.
“What?”
“Your gloat came from Zhang Shichao’s power. You don’t know how to differentiate right from wrong. People like you will never be strong,” Jiang Chen shook his head. He didn’t even give her a look.
Su Qian was unwilling to submit. She sneered suddenly, “Better than you, who is about to die.”
“Are you sure?”
Jiang Chen smiled mysteriously and headed for where Zhang Shichao was.
Su Qian didn’t even have the time to react, he was already out of her sight.
Su Qian was curious. She wanted to follow him to see what was happening there, but in the end she headed for where the fire was.
