The Brilliant Fighting Master

It was thought that Jiang Chen hadn’t developed his extraordinary meridians. As a result, he had been regarded as a joke and given a cruel nickname.

It was impossible to tell by the naked eye whether his extraordinary meridians had been developed or not, but judging from his performance, his strength was obviously not what the newspapers had claimed.

People looked towards Mo Cangliu once again. The Sacred City Daily was popular and admired because of the truth of its reports. If their reports had any mistakes, the paper would apologize to the public very seriously.

The Sacred City Daily hadn’t needed to apologize for a mistake for ten years in a row.

Only important figures knew the papers hadn’t made a mistake. It was true that Jiang Chen hadn’t developed his extraordinary meridians!

“The Rainbow Sword Method: Red Dragon out of the Cage!”

Jiang Chen stomped heavily. His aggression was no less fierce than Su Li’s. The Redcloud Sword in his left hand was shining in all its splendor. The sword and the person became one. They transformed into a fierce red prehistoric beast and flew into the air.

At first sight, it looked like a life-or-death fight between two fierce beasts made of light. The sky was their battlefield.

Su Li’s flying dragon was aggressive and ruthless, while Jiang Chen’s red dragon was fast and fatal.

The moment the two met, they gave off a strong energy. The blare sounded like thunder.

They didn’t linger in the fight, but separated rapidly and stood in air, distance between them.

A long moment passed, but the radiance of the spear and the elevation of the sword hadn’t vanished, instead forming a spectacular view. It looked like the entire sky was burning.

“How could this be?”

Su Li’s face was almost deranged. Tightly closed, his hands were bleeding. The blood dripped along the body of the spear and splattered onto the ground of the platform.

It sounded piercing in the silence.

Su Li had developed three extraordinary meridians, but his palms were covered with blood, while Jiang Chen was safe and uninjured.

A gap in martial arts techniques wouldn’t have been unfolded this way. If it were due to a gap in martial arts techniques, Jiang Chen would have defeated his rival with fierce attacks from his sword.

The current situation could only mean one thing—Jiang Chen had stronger force than Su Li!

But that was impossible, unless he had developed his extraordinary meridians after he had achieved the Reaching Heaven State.

The higher-ups knew what Jiang Chen had claimed, and not until this moment did they confirm it to be true. They were all beaming.

As for the others, they insisted that Jiang Chen had been hiding that he had developed his extraordinary meridians. They refused to believe Jiang Chen could develop them after he had achieved the Reaching Heaven State.

For them, the problem was how many Jiang Chen had developed before his breakthrough.

It was apparently more than Su Li.

“Now, do you still think you have the chance to defeat me? Admit your defeat. I’m not after you today,” Jiang Chen said very directly.

“It’s impossible!” Su Li shouted loudly. He couldn’t quiet down. He had given up his chance to go on developing his extraordinary meridians in order to take revenge that day, but this was what had happened. How ironic.

“Holy Dragon Special Movement: Thousands of Dragons Kill the Demon!”

He made an all-out attack to struggle in this hopeless situation.

“This movement…”

The dean of the south courtyard looked worried. He murmured, “Su Li hasn’t completely mastered it yet. It should be fine. Eh? Great. That’s great!”

He found Su Li’s madness hadn’t lasted for too long, and he finished his spear movement smoothly.

“He was enlightened in the real fight. I’m not buying it!” Shi Gandang said with discontent.

Su Li’s martial arts techniques had enhanced to the next level in the last minute of this desperate situation. He had achieved his most powerful spear attack. No one had expected that.

But given a second thought, it wasn’t so surprising, since Su Li was an excellent disciple of the Sacred Institute, remarkably talented.

“Haha, Jiang Chen, die!” Su Li shouted complacently. As soon as he raised his spear, the color of the sky changed. The tip of the spear was shining as brightly as the sun.

The brandishing of the spear created rapid swirls in the air, as if clean water in a jar had been stirred.

As soon as he attacked, the swirls started to move towards Jiang Chen, and he was trapped in a formidable storm immediately.

Countless holy dragons were created in the storm. They dashed towards Jiang Chen unceasingly.

Even those who were poor at martial arts techniques could tell how powerful this attack was. Even a stone mountain would become ruins under the crash of thousands of dragons, not to mention Jiang Chen, who was only flesh and bones.

“Your smugness comes from your naivety. You couldn’t know that the movement you’ve just comprehended is easy for me to crack.”

Jiang Chen looked serious, even making the time to scorn.

As soon as he finished speaking, the energy of the sword formed an energy column to protect him. At the same time, a giant blade without a handle appeared behind him. It split into two, then the two split into four, like a peacock spreading its tail.

“What’s this?”

Jiang Chen’s change shocked those who were skilled at martial arts techniques, especially sword wielders.

“The doctrine of the sword. He’s the successor to the doctrine of the sword!” someone shouted.

At this moment, the giant blades formed one again, but the light of the sword was much more bright. They covered almost Jiang Chen’s whole body.

“Break the Rule with a Single Sword Attack!”

Jiang Chen raised his Redcloud Sword and the giant blade moved with the sword.

Here came the holy sword with the power to shatter the sky!

The storm was cut open like a piece of soft tofu. The holy dragons were very close to Jiang Chen, but as soon as they touched the glow of the sword, they were burnt to ashes like paper that made contact with a flame.

Pah!

Su Li was heavily injured at the other end of the storm. He was spitting blood. He was falling like a kite with cut strings, but of course, Su Li wouldn’t fall to his death at the Sacred Institute. When he was dozens of feet above the ground, his body was supported by a shapeless power.

He had fainted and was in a coma.

It looked the same as the last time he had picked a fight with Jiang Chen, but in actuality it was different, since this time he was faking!

He didn’t know how to confront so many people, so he had chosen to lie down with his eyes closed.

Among the three challengers, Su Li and Yi Qing had been defeated. And obviously, what Jiang Chen had shown wasn’t all he had left.

“How powerful!”

The local people who had seen Jiang Chen as a joke accepted the new facts.

“He’s a successor to the doctrine of the sword, and it’s obvious he has developed his extraordinary meridians. He defeated Su Li and Yi Qing so easily. These facts are enough to make him a winner of the outstanding grade.”

“Didn’t the papers say he achieved the Reaching Heaven State from the peak of the middle stage of the Mental Wander State without having developed his extraordinary meridians?”

“Does this mean he managed to develop enough extraordinary meridians when he was in the peak of the middle stage of the Mental Wander State?”

People would rather believe Jiang Chen, with his exceptional talent, had developed three extraordinary meridians in the peak of the middle stage than believe he had developed them in the Reaching Heaven State.

Except for the higher-ups of the Sacred Institute.

The deans of the four courtyards looked at one another. They saw the same expression on everyone’s faces.

If the Sacred Institute could master the way to develop extraordinary meridians in the Reaching Heaven State, it would definitely change the state of the continent.

They couldn’t wait to call Jiang Chen over to ask him how he had done it and whether it was possible to develop all eight of his extraordinary meridians, but there was one more challenger on the platform.

Gao Tiange.

He wasn’t as confident as he was at the beginning, yet his will to fight was still strong.

As a member of an aristocratic family of inheritance, he had the blood of the phoenix!

“Even though he developed his extraordinary meridians, it can’t be compared to the blood of the phoenix. My son will make him realize this,” Fang Yi said coldly.

The Gaos nodded involuntarily. None of them wanted what Jiang Chen had said in the Gao Mansion to be proven true.

“Yi Qing, leave the ring,” Gao Tiange said.

The platform was very big. Yi Qing had stayed on it. She was dumbstruck when she had heard him.
