Chapter 43
When he said this, not only the three people with him were embarrassed, but the people around also gave him uncomfortable looks.
Shi Tian was the first to respond, feeling awkward under others’ gazes. He said, “Do you have any idea how difficult it is to join the Natural Law School? People who could join there are one in a million. I’m not exaggerating at all.”
“I’m just telling the truth,” Jiang Chen said.
“You are biting off more than you can chew!” Shi Tian shouted at him.
“One should know their place.” Ye Xiu shook her head. She wasn’t as angry as Shi Tian, but was also laughing at him silently.
“Thank you for your invitation, Brother Meng.”
After saying this to Meng Hao, Jiang Chen shrugged and turned around to leave.
Because he found Jiang Chen had achieved the peak of the preliminary stage, better than even his own stage!
His face turned red when he thought of his earlier contempt for Jiang Chen, as if someone had slapped him.
The corpses of the demon bats kept falling down while the Redcloud Sword was moving.
Human beings can’t fly, but these beasts could, only gaining strength once each time they flew. If they didn’t hit their target, they had to fly away and repeat the whole process again.
The demon bats started to retreat.
On the deck beside Jiang Chen, there were ten corpses of demon bats.
People started to walk out of the cabin when there were no more noises.
“How come? The demon bats usually only leave after they’ve finished hunting. How could they have been fended off?” The crew had a secret place to hide, so more than 90% of them had survived.
They thought 70% of the passengers on the deck would die, but less than 10% had died.
They also noticed those who had survived were looking at one young man with appreciation.
The youngster didn’t look like he had fought. He wasn’t wounded. His clothes weren’t even stained.
Then people started to clear up the corpses of the demon bats. They threw them off the ship.
As for the dead people, they covered them with a canvas sheet.
Jiang Chen helped Meng Hao dress his wounds. He said, “You didn’t have to do that just now.”
Ye Xiu and Shi Tian were so ashamed that they wanted to look for a hole to crawl into. They knew what Jiang Chen meant.
“They are my friends.” Meng Hao was very pale, his forehead soaked with sweat. But he tried to smile.
Jiang Chen didn’t speak. He was sighing silently when thinking of Ye Xiu and Shi Tian’s performance.
The Cloudbuster arrived in Ninedragons at dawn.
The ship stopped by the city wall. The local people weren’t surprised when they heard that the Cloudbuster had been attacked by demon bats. It was normal for them.
They returned the ship fare to everyone on the deck and sent the wounded to the local hospital.
Jiang Chen left when no one was paying attention. Many people had seen him using the Redcloud Sword. There could be people spying on him.
After making sure there was no one following him, he started to walk around Ninedragons at ease.
It was the end of winter. The city was crowded with people from the whole world, gathering there and waiting for chances to show their capabilities.
All sects and schools were recruiting disciples.
Of course the Natural Law School got the most attention. People were curious to see how many lucky people would join the school this year.
The disciples of the Natural Law School were well regarded in the whole Fire Field.
Some of the others, such as the Swordquest School, were only famous in the Province of Widepool.
If one could become a disciple of the Natural Law School, not only would they receive quality training, but their safety would also be guaranteed so that they could grow up in this cruel world.
Even their families would be taken care of. As the saying goes, when a man attains the highest status possible, even his pets ascend to heaven.
