Chapter 298: Mo Jianfei

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Hero Palace held tests every month. Those who got excellent grades would be awarded, but those who got bad grades wouldn’t be punished.

These tests aimed to motivate the disciples.

Talent was a given for them, since they had joined the Hero Palace. It was hard work that came into play next.

Ying Wushuang had only taken the test once, when she had first joined the Hero Palace.

After that, Ying Wushuang had never taken another one.

“The first item is to test how many turns you can manipulate your halos of heaven to make in an instant.

“The difficulty varies with your state and number of halos of heaven you have.

“In my case, I have two halos of heaven. The outside one is easier to control than the inside one.

“The test takes the average value as the result.”

This first item that Ying Wushuang had told Jiang Chen about was the source of her confidence.

The change brought about by the beads had convinced her that Jiang Chen could build something better than what the Hero Palace owned.

She told him about the next two items.

The first was about explosiveness, namely the most power a Reaching Heaven State could show in a moment with no further preparation.

The second was about the protective energy shield, the name explaining what it was. Reaching Heaven States would turn their power into an energy shield to envelop themselves for protection.

Fights between Reaching Heaven States were very intense. The vibrations caused by the fights could hurt their viscera unknowingly, so the protective energy shield was extremely important.

In fact, the three items the Hero Palace tested were all key points to decide how strong a Reaching Heaven State was.

Jiang Chen knew this clearly. That was why he had built the Heaven Halo Beads.

Ying Wushuang didn’t have to urge him at all. He had almost finished building the practice equipment for the other two tests.

Ying Wushuang was relieved when she learned this.

Upon seeing the vague smile on Jiang Chen’s face, she found him very reliable and reassuring.

Suddenly, both of them paled.

They had both sensed an aggressive strong energy at the door.

When they glanced at each other, they heard a blast from the yard’s gate. The door was exploded into pieces, the fragments flying away with great power. A blunt fragment of the door even embedded into one wall of the yard.

The well-decorated yard had been totally destroyed.

A fragment flew at the two. Jiang Chen had to draw out his knife to ward it off.

Someone was standing at the door. They could only vaguely see his figure, but the energy given off by him was overwhelming.

Ying Wushuang became serious and said, “It’s Mo Jianfei.”

Both she and Jiang Chen understood why he had come when she said his name.

Elder Du Yue couldn’t do anything to Jiang Chen for the slap, but Mo Jianfei, as Murong Yuan’s fiancée, had to do something.

If he didn’t, he would lose his respected reputation as the president of the Sword Association.

They were just wondering how severe Mo Jianfei’s revenge would be!

Ying Wushuang showed a complicated expression. She hadn’t seen Mo Jianfei at all since she and Murong Yuan had turned against each other.

“Jiang Chen, you’re not a match for him. Restrain yourself,” Ying Wushuang said anxiously.

Mo Jianfei was ranked in the top ten on the Fighting Power List.

By this fact alone, he was way better than Jiang Chen.

“Don’t worry.”

Jiang Chen was very calm. He strode out the door.

With a whoosh, a light attacked him, lightning fast, before he could even speak.

It was too fast. Jiang Chen, who had mastered the great doctrine of the creation of wind, was hit in the chest before he could realize what had happened.

It was a sword!

A sword that was still sheathed had hit Jiang Chen in the chest with great power.

The power was so great that Jiang Chen flew off the ground and fell on his face.

Before landing, Jiang Chen put his hands on the ground, withstanding the pain, to support himself and managed to get to his feet.

“Jiang Chen.”

Ying Wushuang hurried to run over and support him.

Jiang Chen flung off her hand and threw his shoulders back. The pain in his chest spread to the rest of his body.

The sword was back in its master’s hand. The sheath of the sword looked quite normal, not eye-catching at all, but made entirely of darksteel, it was quite heavy.

The sword in the sheath was like a giant dragon, asleep. Once it woke up, the consequences would be unimaginable.

What surprised Jiang Chen was that his rival had been able to endow such a high speed to such a heavy thing.

If Mo Jianfei had really wanted to kill him, it would have been easy.

The smile on Jiang Chen’s face faded when he thought about this. He looked very serious at that moment.

Mo Jianfei was approaching him, his upright figure becoming clearer and clearer to Jiang Chen. He looked serious, too.

He was in white, looking extraordinarily special.

His look was as cold as if he looked down on the whole world.

He was holding his sword in his left hand and drew it out with his right.

The sound of the unique, treasured sword drawn out of its sheath was the most beautiful sound in the world to a swordsman’s ears.

The glow of the sword was like moonlight, white, bright, and omnipresent.

Ying Wushuang’s pupils shrank. She shouted loudly, “Mo Jianfei, are you going to…”

Before she could finish, Mo Jianfei had launched an attack.

It was so fast that no one could see it.

Ying Wushuang hadn’t seen Jiang Chen’s right hand bleeding until Mo Jianfei had put his sword back into its sheath and turned around to leave.

Ah!

Jiang Chen shouted painfully. Not until then did he find out he had been injured.

His right arm was dangling weakly. The tendons in the hand he had used to slap Murong Yuan had been cut!

“As weak as you are, shouldn’t you have hid yourself in a corner to work hard instead of running amuck? Haven’t you asked yourself whether you could afford to start fights?”

Mo Jianfei stopped. He took out a white cloth and wiped the blood off the blade. He was doing it so casually that it seemed like merely a trivial matter.

Jiang Chen looked down and suddenly drew his sword out.

“The Sword Method of Ksana: The First Movement!”

Things slowed down. Falling leaves stopped flying in the air. The only thing that was still flowing was the astounding energy of the sword.

With a glint of the blade, Jiang Chen ran forward.

“Oh?”

Mo Jianfei became more serious, his posture not so casual anymore. At the same time as he was thinking, a shapeless field of energy enveloped him.

The blade attacked thousands of times in a second, but the attacks were all warded off by the force field.

“A great attack, but you’re too weak to crack my force field.”

Mo Jianfei didn’t turn around. He just punched backward.

The heavy punch hit against the Red Cloud Sword. Jiang Chen retreated to where he had been. With only one hand, he wasn’t able to take the power of the punch. He lost control of his spiritual sword, and it flew away.

“Haha,” Jiang Chen barked out a harsh laugh, although his condition didn’t look good.

“What are you laughing at?” Mo Jianfei turned around and frowned.

“It was a fight between swords, but you used your force field. You already lost. When I catch up to you in state, I’ll make you pay for the shame of today with your blood,” said Jiang Chen.

“Ignorant.”

Mo Jianfei shook his head lightly and looked towards Ying Wushuang, “So that’s your choice. What bad taste. I see.”

Ying Wushuang had refused him, and now, she was with Jiang Chen.

If Jiang Chen were excellent enough, he might have been jealous, but at that time, he only felt disdain.

“You think you can catch up to me. I’ll smash your unrealistic illusion here and now to wake you up.”

Mo Jianfei was going to draw his sword out again intent on disabling Jiang Chen’s left arm and making him a wasted person.

Even if his hand tendons could be repaired, he would still be greatly influenced.

“What a disgusting hypocrite. You just want to get rid of a threat, but you made it sound so pretty. Bring it on, if you’re good enough!” Jiang Chen provoked.
