Chapter 1662 - Think Independently
Jiang Chen took off the Vulcan Ring and sensed with his heart. As expected, he immediately detected burning fire power underneath the city.
His holy awareness dived deeper and deeper. After traveling through endless darkness, a giant fireball suddenly appeared in front of him, which resembled the blazing sun.
At this exact moment, Jiang Chen opened his eyes and broke the link with his holy awareness.
What he had found was undoubtedly the true source of fire.
Unfortunately, just like the detection he’d gotten from the Vulcan Ring, he couldn’t find a way to access the true source of fire.
Jiang Chen thought about what Shen Xingchen had said. She’d probably found the entrance after searching for a long time.
Jiang Chen put the Vulcan Ring back on and described the situation to the Fire Kylin.
Shen Xingchen had brought these two people. They had worked with Shen Xingchen many times and developed a tacit understanding.
It was a rule they had that they always tested the water first with anyone Shen Xingchen brought on board.
After all, Shen Xingchen was only a deity-grade apothecary who didn’t know much about practicing.
There was one time when she’d found someone who was only a pretender. It had undermined the entire team and they’d still had to pay the person afterward.
That’s why these two people were doing this.
They had hidden there and planned to pounce on Jiang Chen to see how he dealt with them. If Jiang Chen didn’t pass the test, they would get him off the team straightaway.
“Gentlemen, are you waiting for me?”
Just when the two people were trying to figure out where Jiang Chen had gone, a ghostly voice sounded behind their backs.
“What?”
The two people turned pale with fright. They turned around hastily and saw Jiang Chen was somehow standing under their tree.
An embarrassed look appeared on their faces. They felt so ashamed.
“How did he come up behind us?”
The two looked at each other, looking equally perplexed.
“Well, Miss Shen asked us to pick you up here.”
In an instant, the two people jumped off the tree, bit the bullet, and spoke to Jiang Chen.
“I see.”
Jiang Chen hadn’t gotten to the bottom of it. He said with a smile, “My name is Chen Xin.”
“Wen Qing.”
“Meng Shan.”
They started to introduce themselves, no longer interested in testing Jiang Chen anymore.
Just judging by the technique Jiang Chen had shown, the consequences would have been unthinkable if he had attacked them sneakily from behind.
Following the two people to the top of the hill, Jiang Chen saw Shen Xingchen again.
Seeing Jiang Chen walking toward her, Shen Xingchen knew that he had passed the test. She was not surprised either.
After all, Jiang Chen had already taken the title of the Greatest Fist in the World. But Wen Qing and Meng Shan hadn’t been in the city during the day and didn’t want to believe hearsay without witnessing it themselves.
“Miss Shen is really cautious,” Jiang Chen exclaimed.
“It’s because I’m rather weak as an apothecary and have no other choice. I can only hope Young Master Chen Xin will excuse me for my precautionary measures,” Shen Xingchen said.
Despite what she had just said, Shen Xingchen actually had a very strong ability as powerful as a titled martial arts practitioner.
Both Meng Shan and Wen Qing had the same ability.
Some more people approached from the other side of the hill.
“Miss Shen is too modest. Apothecaries can be quite strong when they get cornered,” a young man in his 20s said with a smile.
“Take that Jiang Chen as an example, I heard that he was the one who made the Black Yellow Elixir and has extraordinary strength.”
Speaking of Jiang Chen, Shen Xingchen nodded and agreed with him.
“More and more people are boasting about Jiang Chen nowadays.”
“The majority of those people are usually blind and lacking the ability to think independently.”
At the moment, however, a conversation between two other people could be heard.
It was from a man and a woman, both around 30, with considerable strength.
Although they were smiling, it came off as a smug superiority rather than geniality.
“More self-righteous people as well…” The young man who had first mentioned Jiang Chen scoffed with heavy sarcasm.
