Chapter 22
The unexpected episode drove everyone crazy. Many people became extremely jealous.
Meng Fei, who was going to fight with Jiang Chen, slipped back to his seat when no one was looking and totally lost interest in the Swordquest School.
Jin Jie didn’t know what to say. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to bury herself in a cave.
“I have to think it over. I didn’t expect this.” Jiang Chen answered her in a manner that was neither humble nor pushy.
“No problem.”
Due to his response, Murong Feng respected him a little bit more.
“Now what do you want to compete with me in?” Jiang Chen looked over to Jin Jie, who was silent at that moment.
“Damn!” Jiang Lu was the most furious one. She wished she could rip this woman apart.
“Come on!” Jin Jie was shouting.
Jiang Chen, who was near the ring, hasted to say, “Sister Lu, your knife method is subdued by her sword method. Besides, your state is lower than hers. Don’t struggle too hard.”
“Fine.”
Jiang Lu gritted her teeth, finally gave up and jumped out of the ring.
“What a loser,” Jin Jie swore in a disdainful manner.
Even Jiang Feng, who brought her here, felt he had to say something. “Jin Jie, be nice…”
“This is a competition. The strong one doesn’t have to take care of the weak one. If you are unhappy with the result, you can come out and fight with me.”
Jiang Feng was in the peak of the preliminary stage, but he didn’t want to offend her.
“I’ll fight with you!”
Jiang Chen jumped into the ring.
People were shocked. From what Jin Jie had shown, it was obvious that only people of Jiang Feng’s age could beat her, since people of that age had usually achieved the peak of the preliminary stage.
Jiang Chen was only sixteen, and he had just achieved the Gathering Yuan State. His state was almost the same as Jiang Lu’s. How could he beat Jin Jie?
Even Murong Feng and Li Lie were confused.
“Ha, I was feeling sorry that according to the rules of the competition, as long as you didn’t come up, I would have no way to deal with you. It couldn’t be better that you want to ask for trouble.” Jin Jie was very excited to see that Jiang Chen had volunteered.
“You are talented, but so what? If you can’t grow up, you are still nothing. Without the necessary resources and opportunities, you will still be unable to beat me.”
“You’ve been beaten twice. Won’t you mind another defeat? If you lose again this time, what are you going to say?”
Jin Jie was so angry that she burst into laughter. She said, “Those were only accidents. I’ll let you know how much better I am than you.
“Purple Cloud Flying Skyward!”
It wasn’t surprising that people saw the same result as before when Jin Jie started to attack.
Jin Jie was purposely making fun of Jiang Chen with her skilled sword method.
“You want to beat me with such crappy skills? Is that a joke?” Jin Jie taunted him.
Fan Tu, who was outside the ring, was confused. He said, “Why is Young Lord using his right hand?”
He noticed his lady’s worried face and was about to tell her the truth, but to his surprise, a middle-aged man called Su Qun, who was from the Sus, burst into laughter.
“Jiang Chen became mediocre in the past year. Even if he is accepted by the Swordquest School, with such terrible fighting skills, how far can he go?”
Then Su Qun looked over to Gao Yue. “Lady, you’d better sign the disengagement agreement. Otherwise, if we become enemies, the situation won’t be optimistic for you.”
