The Brilliant Fighting Master

The Hundred Swords Peak was one of the nine peaks.

 Through clouds and fogs, the dense spiritual energies of the Dragon Tiger Mountain flew into the mountain. When it achieved a certain amount, it would turn into powerful sword energy.

 This sword energy would have a bad influence on average people, but for swordsmen, it would help them reach a calm mood and achieve the best they could.

 At the moment, lights reflected off swords could be observed from time to time at the Hundred Swords Peak. The disciples of the celestial palace were practicing sword.

 The lights were radiant and dazzling.

 The mountainside was where the sword energy was the densest. Most disciples of the Hundred Swords Peak gathered outside a stone house.

 The cubic house did not even have a window. When the door was closed, it was also tough to find a crack between the door and the frame.

 However, didn’t he know he would not get what he wanted? Instead, things would go the opposite way.

 But since Liu Neng made an indiscreet remark first, she would not try to protect him.

 She was just hoping the vice leader would not come up with some extreme punishment.

 In that case, she would have to take the wind out of his sails.

 As to the relationship between Jiang Chen and Leader the Venerable, she did not care a fig, just as she did not care a fig about the position of the Hundred Swords Peak’s First Chair.

 Zhang Tian was an excellent man. He followed Red Cloud Venerable here to be the vice leader.

 He was also the reason that Duanmu Rong came here to the Hundred Swords Peak to be the First Chair.

 However, it was not that she was desperately in love with Zhang Tian. Besides, she had had a problem with Xue Ke for a long time, so she did not leave the previous day.

 “I said, I’ll regard the stronger one as my vice leader!”

 Liu Neng finally plucked up his courage to say it loudly.

 He kept his eyes shut while speaking as if he was doing something really great.

 Holding their breath, people were expecting Jiang Chen to fly into a rage.

 “Great. A swordsman who always flinches and doesn’t dare face his true self doesn’t deserve to use a sword.”

 Nevertheless, Jiang Chen was not irritated. He smiled instead.

 Everyone was shocked, including Duanmu Rong.

 “Is he trying to convince people by virtue?”

 Duanmu Rong thought. But that would not be easy.

 The premise of convincing people by virtue was being strong enough.

 “The thing is, you think I’m not as good as the former vice leader?”

 To their surprise again, Jiang Chen brought up another topic. He did not just let it go.

 This time Liu Neng had not hesitated too much before he nodded.

 “I don’t think so.”

 Jiang Chen said.

 The others went into an uproar. Zhang Tian was a great Martial Arts Saint. It was obvious who was stronger.

 “What he wins over me is time. Although it sounds cheeky, you think I’m weaker because you’re also judging me by time,” added Jiang Chen.

 “He is eloquent.”

 Duanmu Rong thought. What Jiang Chen said sounded quite right. It was thought-provoking for the disciples of the Hundred Swords Peak.

 “So, you think he is stronger than I am now. I admit that. But he won’t always be stronger than I am,” Jiang Chen went on.

 The other disciples came to understand it was inappropriate to compare two persons from different ages.

 “In addition, to be vice leader, being strong isn’t enough. A vice leader has to be smart, too. As far as I know, the former vice leader did nothing for the celestial palace.”

 Jiang Chen was not gossiping about Zhang Tian behind his back.

 In fact, Zhang Tian thought he had already sacrificed a lot to be the vice leader here, so he did not even give a thought to what he could do for the celestial palace.

 It was the three grand elders who were working.

 The First Elder said Jiang Chen could resolve the crisis of the celestial palace, but Zhang Tian had never bothered to know what the crisis was.

 “Vice Leader, I know what you mean. It makes sense. But spoken words fly away. Don’t you think it’s not convincing enough?”

 As Zhang Tian’s adorer, Duanmu Rong, was kind of pissed.

 Although they were from two different ages, it did not mean anyone was better than Zhang Tian when the latter had been young.

 On the contrary, she was confident enough to say none of the current Martial Emperors below the first tier was as good as he was.

 “Truth.”

 Looking towards that stone house, Jiang Chen said, “I heard you say Zhang Tian had gone through the sixteenth challenge when I came, hadn’t he?”

 “Yes.” Duanmu Rong showed a surprised face as if she had guessed what Jiang Chen was going to do.

 But did he really know what the sixteenth challenge meant?

 “I’ll break his record,” said Jiang Chen.

 Duanmu Rong smiled. She thought, “So, he doesn’t know.”

 The disciples of the Hundred Swords Peak reacted in a very exaggerating way.

 The stone house was called Sword House. Leader the Venerable gave it to them for practicing purpose.

 Martial Emperors could only handle the first ten challenges.

 For Martial Arts Saints, the limit was the first twenty challenges.

 Zhang Tian went through sixteen challenges. It was fair to say he was the best of the best.

 As a Martial Emperor in the late stage, Jiang Chen claimed he would break this record. That was way too arrogant.
