Jiang Chen looked toward the two men who had protested. One of them was Meng Chaofan, a Half-Monster. He cast them a cold look, and the two geniuses were really intimidated. They saw what had happened to Liu Chengfeng. No matter how stupid they were, they would not look down on this ordinary-looking man.
“I’m not human, but I know only very few human geniuses can work on four qi at the same time, probably only one in 10,000.” Hou Qin looked over with amorous eyes, and her inviting red lips moved. And what she said was shocking.
“Working on four qi at the same time?!” People kept exclaiming. Although they had made such an assumption, they still felt thrilled for being lucky enough to witness such a unique thing after the assumption was confirmed.
Madam Lin and the people with her were those who reacted the most strongly. Recalling what Lu Ping had said at the dinner party, Lin Juan and Zhang Fengxun wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.
“Working on four qi at the same time?” Meng Chaofan still had the Monster’s features on his face. His eyes looked like a pair of gems, which were profound enough to hold the entire universe. He was evidently not very happy, but since Hou Qin had shown her attitude, he knew it would not work no matter what he said.
“See you someday in the future!” He said to Jiang Chen. Then he left.
As a result, the other person found it awkward if he remained there to make things difficult for Jiang Chen. So he left as well.
“My friend, see you at the banquet.” Hou Qin was very decisive too. She was leaving the Brawl Star Field. Before moving, she said mysteriously, “I’m looking forward to your performance.” She disappeared as soon as she had finished speaking. Since the big boss had left, the geniuses who had gathered in the Brawl Star Field also left. They kept throwing Jiang Chen incredible looks before leaving.
Jiang Chen’s response to them was very cold. He took up the invitation and then went back to stay with the Lins.
“By the way, Lu Ping, as I said just now, it’s totally fine for me that you and Shuangyue are together.” Madam Lin was the first person to speak.
Lin Shuangyue flushed. She exclaimed, “How many times should I repeat it? There is nothing going on between us.”
“Darn it.” Lin Juan gritted her teeth out of anger. She certainly took Lin Shuangyue’s reaction as showing off, like a rich man who complains how poor he is! It made her really, really jealous. Zhang Fengxun, next to her, was obviously not as great as Jiang Chen.
“You work on four qi at the same time. How did you accomplish it?!” He was constantly badgered and asked the question that puzzled the people around him the most. Geniuses did not become geniuses all by themselves. Rich resources were needed to train them. In addition, they also needed good luck. For a person who worked on four qi at the same time, he or she would need to get four scripture books to level up to the five-star level.
Lu Ping did not look like a man who would go to any martial arts club. He would be extraordinary even without Master Luo Cheng’s instruction.
“Practicing in daily life!”
Before Jiang Chen could answer, the words rolled off Zhang Fengxun’s tongue as soon as the idea occurred to him. The Lins looked as if they had tumbled to the reason. Some giant forces were concerned that if their disciples never experienced any difficulties, they would never mature. So these giant forces would send their disciples out to take adventures.
This giant force is really carefree. They allowed such a genius to travel around outside. Second Uncle thought involuntarily. He did not see anyone following and protecting Lu Ping. All of a sudden, a shocking idea occurred to him. He instantly felt panicked. Or, are there strong men who I can’t detect following him? Second Uncle Lin was not an average man. If it was someone who he had never found out about, that man must be very strong.
…..
Then the group walked out of the Brawl Star Field to go back to the Academy of the Land of Abundance. Zhang Fengxun left with Lin Juan, claiming something had suddenly come up. Madam Lin started to look at Jiang Chen in a completely different way. A Chinese saying occurred to Lin Shuangyue—the more the mother-in-law gets along with the son-in-law, the more she will be satisfied with him. Lin Shuangyue dragged Lu Ping out of there before her mother started to look for a place for their wedding venue.
“Oh, my kid…”
Seeing Lin Shuangyue and Lu Ping holding hands, Madam Lin was not angry at all. Instead, she showed a motherly smile.
Not until Jiang Chen had left did Madam Lin say, “Try everything you can to investigate this Lu Ping. I want to know where he is from.” She had investigated him before she came here, but the information she had received was completely different from what she had seen this day. She was not angry. She knew that meant the Lins were not resourceful enough to find information of that level. That meant Lu Ping must have an extraordinary background.
“Okay.” Second Uncle Lin nodded. He was also curious to know where Lu Ping came from.
Lin Shuangyue did not go back to the airship. She and Jiang Chen had decided to look around the city.
“Varied Martial Arts Techniques Society?” Sizing him up secretly, Lin Shuangyue suddenly mentioned an organization. Then she stared at him without batting an eye, but Jiang Chen looked indifferent.
“Western Sword Flow?” Lin Shuangyue did not give up. She mentioned another organization, but it ended up the same. Jiang Chen had no idea what she was talking about.
“You are not treating me as a friend at all.” Lin Shuangyue felt sad. She lowered her head. Tears welled up in her eyes.
“No, I’m not.” However, this time Jiang Chen responded. Lin Shuangyue suddenly lifted her head. There was no sadness on her face, but she looked a little annoyed. “You are so tight-lipped,” she said unhappily.
Varied Martial Arts Techniques Society and Western Sword Flow both belonged to the world of meson. The Sword Tower was also located there.
When the big world fell apart, it split into nine realms. There were still many fragments of the big world remaining in the Nine Realms. Some of these fragments were very fragile. They either vanished themselves or were destroyed. After much sifting, the remaining fragments were certainly the most valuable ones. Especially when Great Sovereigns or Divine Kings got them, they could use these fragments to construct a brand-new world. Not a small world, but a world where the four essential elements, earth, fire, water, and wind, existed. These were the four energies needed to construct a new world. Only a world where these four energies existed could make its people achieve excellence and get good luck.
Lin Shuangyue thought he was from the world of meson.
“Don’t let your imagination run so wild. As to where I’m from, what I told the Sword Pavilion is true,” Jiang Chen said.
“I believe you. I believe you.” Lin Shuangyue rolled her eyes. She was not stupid. If what he told the Sword Pavilion was really true, how did he get all of the practicing scripture books needed to practice the four qi?
Arguing back and forth, the two went back to the Sword Pavilion. Not until then did Lin Shuangyue recall one important thing. She asked him, “When did you work the sword field out?”
“During the fight.” This time, Jiang Chen told the truth. He had told Lin Shuangyue this morning that he had comprehended something new. And then he had seized the chance. He realized the breakthrough under the attack of Liu Chengfeng’s Wheels of Sun and Moon. It certainly was not perfect. He would need to keep practicing his sword skills to exert the complete sword field.
…..
Jiang Chen went to see his master after bidding farewell to Lin Shuangyue. Gazing at his apprentice, Wu Ming was very emotional. His apprentice had worked his own sword field out in such a short time. He was practicing sword secretly everyday, but he still could not improve as fast as this young man. Looking back on what he said when Jiang Chen recognized him as his master, Wu Ming thought it would become a joke sooner or later.
However, he felt satisfied. He felt lucky to have an apprentice like Jiang Chen.
“The four sword movements of Universal Wind and Thunder? Show me.” Wu Ming was very interested in what Jiang Chen had told him.
