The Brilliant Fighting Master

“I’m the headmaster of the Mysterious Weapon Pavilion, Bai Yi. I heard your technique was fantastic, so I came here specially to pay you a visit.”

“I’m flattered. Thank you, but you are the senior. I should be the one to visit you,” Jiang Chen said politely.

Bai Yi unbent a little. Jiang Chen did not seem arrogant to him.

“I came today only for one thing. It’s said, Master, you can repair Doctrine Artifacts, so I want to ask a favor of you.” Bai Yi said.

The onlookers tumbled to what the Mysterious Weapon Pavilion was going to do. They were making things difficult for the Sundry Goods Store in a smart manner. Since the Sundry Goods Store was selling so many Doctrine Artifacts, people would get the wrong feeling if the master of the shop could build Doctrine Artifacts as well. If it was true, it meant a totally different thing.

If it was false, it meant Jiang Chen was only a merchandiser who sold Doctrine Artifacts. Although no one knew where he got these Doctrine Artifacts, they would be sold out sooner or later. If the Mysterious Weapon Pavilion could confirm this, they would not have to worry about the loss of customers.

However, such an opportunity was exactly what Jiang Chen wanted, although he pretended to be hesitating.

Those from the Mysterious Weapon Pavilion were laughing to themselves upon seeing his reaction. They would not allow the dignity of weapon masters to be trampled on by an opportunist.

“Let me take a look,” Jiang Chen said.

Bai Yi was struck dumb. He did not expect Jiang Chen to be so straight. All of a sudden, he could not say for sure whether this Master Luo Cheng really had something.

Then he took out a rectangular wooden box.

“Is it that Doctrine Artifact?”

“Yeah, maybe. The Mysterious Weapon Pavilion has many Doctrine Artifacts, but a broken Doctrine Artifact, it has to be that one.”

Staring at the box, people started to talk. When the box was opened, everyone behaved like they had anticipated it. The wooden box was cotton-filled. All of the fragments of a Doctrine Artifact were placed in the slots in it.

“Colored Glass Cup!”

Many people knew this Doctrine Artifact not because it had a fantastic use or something. In fact, no one knew what it was used for. It had become famous for a simple reason. It was complete when it showed up in the world for the first time, but the person who had gotten it broke it by accident! A Doctrine Artifact was broken! It immediately became the hot topic of the whole Realm of Heaven Martial Arts.

Doctrine Artifacts should be very solid. However, those Doctrine Artifacts with wonderful uses could not be solid at the same time. Its owner did not know that. He took it to the Mysterious Weapon Pavilion for repair after breaking it. However, the staff of the Mysterious Weapon Pavilion could not figure out what this Doctrine Artifact was, although they had spent much time studying it, not to mention trying to fix it.

Then, the Mysterious Weapon Pavilion bought the Colored Glass Cup from its owner at a low price and had kept it until this day. Jiang Chen was observing the broken Colored Glass Cup in silence. He even picked up a fragment. Those from the Mysterious Weapon Pavilion were so nervous that they did not even have the nerve to breathe hard.

When his hands were finally empty, an old man spoke. His voice sounded like a duck. “In my opinion, you are not a weapon master. You got some Doctrine Artifacts merely by good luck.”

“Don’t be so rude,” Bai Yi said immediately.

Jiang Chen did not bother to answer him. He knew the two were just putting on an act.

The people outside were also discussing Jiang Chen after hearing the old man’s remark.

If Jiang Chen was only a merchandiser, his customers would not owe him anything after purchasing Doctrine Artifacts from him and paying him. They did not have to curry favor with a vendor. However, if Jiang Chen was the only Doctrine Artifact Master in the world, his customers would treat him in a completely different way.

Jiang Chen wanted this opportunity. That was why he wrote those things on his board.

“I can fix it, but it will be expensive. I will charge you the price of a Doctrine Artifact,” Jiang Chen said.

“It’s only repair. Your repair charge is the same as buying a new Doctrine Artifact? What’s wrong with you?” the duck voice said again.

“Doesn’t matter.”

Bai Yi said something pretty immediately, “This Doctrine Artifact is unique. This price is fair.”

“And my job is only to fix it. I won’t take care of any other problems,” Jiang Chen said.

“Providing you really fix it.” The duck voice was afraid he would play tricks.

“Great. It will take some time. When do you want it to be fixed?” Jiang Chen said.

“Today,” Bai Yi said.

“For real?” Jiang Chen frowned.

The onlookers outside were also confused. They all thought it was like reaching for the stars. How was it possible to fix a Doctrine Artifact in only one day?

“Don’t get me wrong. It’s an urgent task, so we will invite Master to enter the Time Room. We’ll pay for it,” Bai Yi said.

Not until then did Jiang Chen’s knitted brow smooth. The others also tumbled to the reason.

“Looks like it’s really urgent.”

“They have kept the Colored Glass Cup in their shop for three years. How can it be urgent? They are just afraid Master Luo Cheng will stall for time or have someone helping him in the dark.”

“Exactly. They are here to trash the Sundry Goods Store.”

“They are smart. If Master Luo hadn’t accepted, it would be like he admitted he couldn’t fix it.”

After all, the Sundry Goods Store had agreed to repair the Doctrine Artifact, and the Mysterious Weapon Pavilion had also accepted his charges.

“Well, it’s certainly fine for me,” Jiang Chen said.

“Bluffing.” The duck voice murmured in a low voice.

“Thank you.”

Bai Yi made a polite gesture to invite him to enter the Time Room.

In the Yunzhen Chamber of Commerce, people could enter the Time Room for extremely urgent tasks. A day in the room was only two hours outside. But it was really expensive, and everyone could only stay here for 24 hours at most—in other words, 12 days in the room.

“Master Luo Cheng, will 12 days be enough?” the duck voice asked.

“I was going to tell you that you could come to fetch it tomorrow if you have time,” Jiang Chen said.

Those from the Mysterious Weapon Pavilion turned pale immediately. They had heard much big talk, but they had never heard such big talk.

He only needed one day to fix a Doctrine Artifact so badly damaged? What a joke!

However, Master Mo recalled what had happened the previous day. His reaction was just like theirs, but, in the end, he was convinced. Will the same thing repeat today? Master Mo could not help but think this as he shook his head.

Under people’s gazes, Jiang Chen walked into the Time Room with the wooden box. Since Jiang Chen had gained wealth through selling Doctrine Artifacts, the Mysterious Weapon Pavilion did not worry he would damage the Doctrine Artifact further.

On the top floor of the chamber of commerce, President Xie Yu was watching what was happening down there. His daughter Xie Ting suddenly appeared. She knew about the incident.

“The Mysterious Weapon Pavilion isn’t happy because their thunder has been stolen.”

“No one likes rule-breakers.”

“But rule-breakers are those who help to boost an industry,” Xie Ting said.

“Ha, ha, ha, that’s right.” Xie Yu burst out laughing. He said, “It’s dangerous to certify a person as Master too quickly, but he sold three Doctrine Artifacts yesterday. If I hadn’t done anything, he would have been pissed, and I would lose him.”

“But such problems will arise when it’s impossible to confirm whether he is just a vendor of Doctrine Artifacts or a Doctrine Artifact Master,” Xie Ting said.

“Let’s see how this Master Luo Cheng is.”

Xie Ting was excited, too, recollecting her experience with this master the previous day.
