The Brilliant Fighting Master

The mention of that name affected Jiang Chen greatly and touched the deepest part of his heart.

500 years ago, the Floating Cloud Mountain was one of the Sacred Zone’s most famous mountains. People rarely visited it, and it was engulfed by fog all year round. Many people would often mistake it for an island. The Floating Cloud Mountain was a land of enlightenment and had many natural Doctrine Symbols. Many people would go to the mountain to get enlightenment about their Doctrine.

A certain young girl was trying to comprehend her own Doctrine Symbol. She had a small face with delicate features and was quite dainty. She had run into a difficult problem and was rolling her pitch-black eyes

“Ah!” After a short while, the young girl couldn’t bear it any longer, and she waved her hands around and stood up. She was quite adorable!

“This Doctrine Symbol is too complex!” She pouted and started grumbling about her family who had thrown her here. She wasn’t allowed to leave the mountain until she comprehended 100 Doctrine Symbols. She still hadn’t managed to comprehend even ten, and the more she thought about such a far, unreachable goal, the more she became vexed.

The young girl started strolling around the mountain. This mountain was engulfed all year round by fog and had a special charm. The young girl managed to quickly forget her worries and started sightseeing. All of a sudden, she sighted another person faraway. It was a white-clad youngster, and he seemed older than her by several years.

“Ah!” The young girl couldn’t help but be alarmed, because many shining Doctrine Symbols were in front of the youngster, which was a sign that he had already comprehended them. She started trying to count how many Doctrine Symbols were there, yet she discovered that they were too many to count.

“It’s amazing! Too amazing!”

When the white-clad youngster finished his session, she ran over to him.

“Why, I have never heard about someone as amazing as you.” The young girl spoke with him flatteringly, and she seemed quite charming.

“I also don’t know you.” The youngster turned around. He had regular facial features and wore thin clothes. But what was the most eye-catching about him were his black eyes, and it seemed like they possessed a special devilish charm.

The young girl’s face became flushed, and she started acting solemnly and lowered her eyes.

“Ah, the Sacred Zone has many geniuses, and I’m just a nobody. It’s obvious that you won’t hear about me.” As the young girl recalled the hundred Doctrine Symbols’ mission, a bitter look appeared on her face.

“But, you are still more powerful than me,” the youngster said.

“Who are you trying to deceive?” The young girl didn’t believe such words, which could only be used to comfort children, and she spread out her arms. “You have comprehended many Doctrine Symbols, and I never heard about such a great feat.”

“I didn’t deceive you, and I’m really just a cripple,” the youngster said.

The young girl blinked her eyes. She suddenly detected something and started examining the youngster with her eyes.

“Oh, my God! Do you have exhausted pulses? Are you the Over Cloud Palace’s Jiang Chen?” The young girl cried out in alarm.

Several days ago, the Over Cloud Palace started the pulses opening ceremony, and it was discovered that the Palace Master’s son, Jiang Chen, who was known as a peerless genius, had exhausted pulses. Such a matter gave rise to a great commotion in the Sacred Zone!

There were people who found it a pity, while there were some who were delighted by it. There were also some vicious people that stated that the Over Cloud Palace suffered such an ordeal because it had committed many evil deeds. After the young girl heard about the news, she sympathized with Jiang Chen. Even in her own family, she suffered much, while Jiang Chen who had exhausted pulses was in one of the apex factions, the Over Cloud Palace, and his father was one of the four Great Saints. It could be imagined how hard his life would be there.

However, she still didn’t see any expression befitting such suffering in the face of the youngster in front of her. He wore a calm expression filled with longing for the future.

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I didn’t say these words to be mean,” the young girl realized her mistake and apologized, while still pulling a face and sticking out her tongue at him.

Jiang Chen just smiled. He found this young girl quite amusing!

“Oh, by the way, I’m Lin Yueru,” the young girl introduced herself. Just after this, she puffed out her cheeks and lowered her head as if she was bearing something. But, upon noticing Jiang Chen’s gaze, she raised her hand.

“What?”

“May I ask you a question?” The young girl’s curiosity got the best of her, and she started acting like a spoiled child.

“You want to ask why I came here to comprehend Doctrine Symbols even though I have exhausted pulses, don’t you?” Jiang Chen said.

“That’s right!” Lin Yueru nodded.

“Those are all pieces of knowledge!” Jiang Chen was happy to share his knowledge with people and revealed a simple and honest smile.

Jiang Chen spread out his hands and said excitedly, “These will all become my strongest weapons.”

…..

“Hey!” Lin Shuangyue extended her hand and waved it in front of Jiang Chen who was lost in his thoughts, and she brought him back to his senses.

All of a sudden, Jiang Chen held Lin Shuangyue’s shoulder excitedly. “Lin Yueru. No, your great-aunt, is she still alive?” Jiang Chen’s face was filled with excitement. He rarely lost control of himself like this.

Lin Yueru was one of the closest people to him 500 years ago and was a link connecting his current and previous lives together.

Lin Shuangyue didn’t expect that he would take such an action, which was why she forgot to put up the slightest resistance. But her expression still quickly became ice-cold, because she assumed that Jiang Chen was trying on purpose to take liberties with her.

“Such an expression…” However, upon having a clear look at Jiang Chen’s expression, she realized that Jiang Chen was really very excited.

“Let go of me!”

Jiang Chen quickly came back to his senses. They were now in a large street, and such a matter had already caught many people’s attention.

After she broke free of his grasp, her shame was overcome by curiosity, and she spoke angrily, “Aren’t you just stating rubbish? My great-aunt is obviously alive, and I just wanted to take the Heavenly Fault Sword and offer it to her.” Just after this, Lin Shuangyue turned around and left.

Jiang Chen wanted to chase after her and continue questioning her. But, he suddenly went into a daze again.

Even if I do it, what will happen? Jiang Chen questioned himself. Even if I find Lin Yueru, what can I do? With what kind of status and identity will I question her about what happened 500 years ago?

He had never considered such an issue, and this was why he was caught unprepared now.

“Jiang Chen!” All of a sudden, a person pounced into his embrace. It was Fan Tianyin, and she was quite delighted to find Jiang Chen in this street. “Did you come to see me… Jiang Chen, why is your head drenched in sweat?” The cheerful Fan Tianyin noticed something about the current Jiang Chen and was startled. She had never seen Jiang Chen in such a state!

“It’s, it’s nothing!” Jiang Chen wiped away his sweat and forced himself to smile.

“Let’s go back.” Fan Tianyin was aware that this wasn’t a suitable place for discussing anything and wanted to take him with her and leave.

“Tianyin!” However, a man’s voice unexpectedly echoed behind them. Fan Tianyin’s expression changed drastically, and everyone in the street smiled.

“Is that Ye Tian?” Jiang Chen asked.

“You are aware of it?”

“I trust you.” Jiang Chen nodded.

At this moment, Fan Tianyin’s worries disappeared, and she revealed a beautiful smile. She handled this matter as usual and turned around. She said, “I will repeat this again for the last time. Please call with my full name or surname. We aren’t close to each other!”

The person who had arrived stopped in his tracks, and a spectacular expression appeared on his face. In the past few days, he was always rejected, but he assumed that Fan Tianyin was trying to put on an aloof front on purpose, and he would quickly manage to win her over. However, he had never expected that she would state such firm and decisive words in front of a large crowd, and he realized then where the issue lay.

“Is it due to him?” Ye Tian looked at Jiang Chen’s back. He wasn’t willing to accept it, and he said, “I really want to see how outstanding is the man chosen by you.”

“I’m not in a good mood now,” Jiang Chen took a step forward with his back still facing Ye Tian and spoke coldly. “So, don’t provoke me!” Jiang Chen revealed a part of his face to him.

Ye Tian stopped in his tracks, as if he was frozen there, and he couldn’t budge by even an inch.

“What kind of gaze is that? Could a human possess such a gaze?”
