Yang Jing and Ai Liang were nervous. They didn"t know what Jiang Chen"s relations.h.i.+p with the Wizard Clan actually was.
As Ai Liang looked at Ji Hai"s undecipherable face, he didn"t know what he should say in reply.
"That"s right." As Ai Liang faced Ji Hai"s ice-cold gaze, he found himself forced to say something.
"If you get a suitable opportunity, kill him," Ji Hai said.
Upon hearing this, Ai Liang gave a sigh of relief, and said, "I have never planned to let him off the hook."
Onthe other side of the city in the Sword Pavilion, the magical clone LuPing was beginning his practice with a sword. The Sword Pavilion"sdisciples were all curious about Wu Ming"s skill and wondered whatchanges Lu Ping would go through once he began his studies. This was whythe disciples went to Wu Ming"s residence, and they found Lu Pingpracticing with his sword nearby.
They were disappointed todiscover that the moves Lu Ping was practicing didn"t seem outstandingat all. In fact, they were ordinary and mediocre. They weren"t at all inkeeping with the Sword Pavilion.
"Does he want him to start from scratch?" someone asked, trying to guess what might be going on.
LuPing"s sword moves were all entry-level moves like hacking, thrusting,waving, and so on. But strangely enough, Lu Ping was concentratedentirely on them even though they seemed simple. The disciples feltendangered by this.
"Let"s come back again tomorrow to have a lookat him." The disciples couldn"t discern anything, and they left whilestill confused.
The next day, they found Lu Ping once again up onthe mountain. He was still practicing with his sword and using the samemoves as before. They were still entry-level moves.
"Since healready reached such a Realm Level, he should have managed to master thebeginner moves in a single day, shouldn"t he?"
"It seems like Wu Ming is really freeloading."
"Isn"t such incompetent teaching hampering his student"s progress?"
Thestudents started discussing this matter spiritedly. They were allirritated by this and hoped that Lu Ping would quickly make someachievements and demonstrate the high standard of the Sword Pavilion.
All of a sudden, Lu Ping walked toward them.
"You shouldn"t insult my revered master. If you open your mouth again, don"t blame my sword for being merciless."
Lu Ping"s gaze swept over the students, and he spoke in a resolute and ice-cold tone.
Thiswas the highest standard of appearance transformation. Jiang Chen hadtaken on the role of another character, even acting and speaking in adifferent way.
The students were taken aback at first. They were all annoyed by this.
"Didyou start hallucinating while practicing? You can flaunt your might inthe martial arts club. But now you are in the Sword Pavilion, yet youstill take yourself for one of the best? Pa.s.sing the test justdemonstrates your talent, not your power."
"That"s right. Moreover, do you know which person you took as a master? I really wonder whether you still have a brain!"
"Youshould quickly go and ask for the great master"s help! Ask him to helpyou change your teacher. If you don"t, you will end up getting kickedout of here."
"You are really ignorant."
"Let"s see how amazing you are."
"Youare just a guy begging for food in the martial arts club! You are aspetty and lowly as dust. Don"t take yourself for someone important."
More than ten students of the Sword Pavilion were infuriated by Lu Ping, and they all pulled out their swords.
TheSword Pavilion didn"t forbid the students from fighting, and they couldfight as much as they wanted as long as no one was killed. As a matterof fact, it was difficult for someone to lose their life here becauserestrictions were set on the Sword Pavilion, and they couldn"t use theirStarry Sea"s power here.
They could only use their SwordDoctrine, while their bodies still possessed a Star Venerable"sdefensive power and recovery ability. That was why their lives wouldn"tbe in danger if they were injured by opponents who couldn"t use theirStarry Sea"s power. However, such a matter would still be a greathumiliation.
The Sword Pavilion tacitly allowed such a matter because it hoped that doing so would help the students quickly become stronger.
Mostof Jiang Chen"s opponents had learned a Sword Doctrine, and theirmastery over it was at a varied level. They still all vastly surpa.s.sedthe magical clone, who had been deprived of his Sword Doctrine.
Asa matter of fact, Jiang Chen didn"t need to constrain himself now, andhe could fight to his heart"s content because he didn"t possess hisSword Doctrine"s a.s.sistance. However, what came with it was a gravesense of danger, as well as a feeling of weakness. Jiang Chen then feltlike he understood why his master had taken such an action.
However,even if he was facing a large number of people, and there was a largedisparity between their sword techniques, Jiang Chen still wouldn"t beeasy to defeat. What was more marvelous was that Jiang Chen had justused the simple sword moves he used on his sword practice.
Thesharp contrast between Jiang Chen"s moves and his opponents" spectacularmoves gave his technique an indescribable charm. They seemed naturaland smooth in comparison to those of the students.
The voice ofhis master sounded in Jiang Chen"s ears. "Since the moment you raised asword, you took part in many other affairs. This is an unavoidablematter, and something you will realize it in four or five years withyour talent. This will allow you to change yourself. In the end, youwill manage to comprehend transcendence-level Doctrine Power. However,now that you have become my disciple, I will turn those four or fiveyears into just four or five weeks."
Jiang Chen had always been fond of boasting but felt like his master could probably teach him the art of boasting!
Hehad been practicing basic sword moves for a whole day, and he was asconfused as everyone else. But, geniuses and ordinary people had adifferent concentration power, and even though he wasn"t sure of themethod, he still engrossed himself entirely with it.
It was onlywhen Jiang Chen started fighting that he realized how much progress hehad made. This matter could be detected more clearly because they werenow in the Sword Pavilion.
Jiang Chen"s opponents also realizedthis, and those angry students realized that Jiang Chen had made greatprogress since he walked down the Sword Road. Even though it didn"t seemlike he possessed any outstanding traits, Jiang Chen still wouldn"tfall down no matter what happened.
In the end, some of thestudents" swords fell to the ground. In the Sword Pavilion, such amatter was tantamount to defeat. If they picked up their swords and cameat Jiang Chen once again, they would be mocked. The people who had beendefeated by Jiang Chen drew back in order to observe the battle from adifferent angle. They were all surprised to discover that when Lu Pingfought, he seemed like their teachers.
The teachers didn"t need to use any sword techniques, and they could depend upon the simplest moves to defeat their enemies.
After a short while, everyone had been defeated, and their swords fell to the ground.
Lu Ping sustained many injuries, but it seemed like he didn"t care about them.
"What are you doing?"
Whilethe mood was still awkward, a soft shout was heard. The studentswitnessed a person a hundred meters away. In the blink of any eye, theperson covered the distance. It was Lin Shuangyue!
She was wearingthe long outfit of the Sword Pavilion"s long outfit. Such an outfitseemed more beautiful when it was worn by her.
"Does bullying anewcomer gives you a sense of fulfillment?" Lin Shuangyue revealed herother face, and she glared at the people who had been fighting JiangChen.
"Senior sister, we didn"t do it." The students all claimed that she had the wrong idea.
"You still have the nerve to say that you haven"t done anything butlook at what you have done to him!" As Lin Shuangyue spoke, she noticedthat all students were injured with their swords on the ground.
Lu Ping had sustained more injuries than the rest, but he still held his sword in his hand.
"Did you win?" Lin Shuangyue found this matter unbelievable.
"Seniorsister, there is something strange about this guy," one of the defeatedstudents said. He picked up his sword from the ground and left.
All students walked away, leaving Lin Shuangyue alone with Jiang Chen.
"Howdid you manage to achieve it?" Lin Shuangyue didn"t have any qualmsabout staying alone with him, and as Jiang Chen recalled how she had runtoward him to ask for a sword, he realized that this woman had both astrong and soft side.
"We can"t use Starry Sea"s power here," Jiang Chen said.
"I know, and you also can"t use it. The people you have defeated are all middle-grade students," Lin Shuangyue said quickly.
It was only because they couldn"t use their Starry Sea"s power that Jiang Chen"s victory seemed more amazing.
TheSword Pavilion"s students were divided into low-grade, middle-grade,high-grade, and special-grade students. If someone stayed in the samegrade for a long time, he would be kicked out of the Sword Pavilion.
LuPing was just a low-grade student who came here two days ago, and thiswas why Lin Shuangyue was bewildered by what had occurred.
