Chapter 27
This New Year had been quite exciting for the Jiangs, especially for the east courtyard.
Jiang Chen’s performance eased everyone’s worries, even those from the west courtyard.
All things considered, the smarter people knew the internal strife between the east and west courtyard would harm the Jiangs as a whole and wasn’t worth it.
However, although Jiang Wentian didn’t want Jiang Chen to join the Swordquest School, the Black Dragon City heard the news about Jiang Chen all the same.
The Black Dragon City wasn’t interested in the news of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. What they were paying attention to was news about the Southwind Ridge.
They knew they had done something disreputable. However, with their power, they must have some measures to nip things in the bud.
In the Black Dragon City, in the courtyard of the Nings, a beautiful woman who looked around 35 years old was sitting by a furnace. She was wearing a red skirt of thin silk, with jewelry on her head.
Jiang Chen didn’t want to boast about himself, but he was devoting all of his efforts to enhancing his swordsmanship realm, because the realm of swordsmanship relies on inspiration, while a state can be broken through by other methods.
The most important reason he was focused on swordsmanship was the fact that there were limits in a state system. When one reached the limit, the importance of martial arts techniques would be reflected.
You only can construct a skyscraper with a good foundation.
Jiang Chen, who had mastered the sword point, was thinking of the sword methods stored in his memory, but he couldn’t think of anything that he could practice directly at that moment.
However, he would have to choose a sword method to practice hard. The spirit of his sword would be enhanced incidentally through this process.
His mastery of the sword point allowed him to enter the threshold of the swordsmanship realm. After that, he would need to enhance the spirit of his sword and the doctrine of his martial arts techniques.
In the end, Jiang Chen chose the Rainbow Sword Method. Its sword movements could only be learned thoroughly after the wielder mastered the spirit of the sword.
Jiang Chen went through its first three movements in his mind every day in order to enhance his swordsmanship realm.
The first three movements were:
The first, three movements in one.
The second, fire clouds all over the sky.
The third, the arc of rainbow.
Jiang Chen’s forehead was soaked with sweat after a day’s practice. It’s really difficult to master an advanced sword method.
I need to exploit my advantages to the fullest!
Jiang Chen decided to have some practical fights so he could advance as rapidly as possible.
He wasn’t going to fight in the mountains behind his house, but in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, where the danger was real.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to train seriously, as it was impossible for the Wind Move Guards of the Jiang Mansion to fight him at ease.
Gao Yue, worried for his safety, didn’t allow him to travel at first.
Neither did Jiang Wentian, until Jiang Chen agreed to take some guards with him.
At that moment, Jiang Wentian was paying great attention to Jiang Chen. The two guards who were going to protect him were Wind and Cloud of the Jiang Mansion. Both of them were in the late stage of the Gathering Yuan State.
If I have guards protecting me, I know that there will be no danger, even when I am facing death. That will affect my performance in the fight, but it’s still better than fighting at home.
So Jiang Chen left the Southwind Ridge with Wind and Cloud and entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
