Chapter 69: Promoted to Senior Disciple

Then came a scream . Liu Song fell reluctantly . He had made his subordinates pay the price before he died, one dead and one injured .

The atmosphere was charged with tension when the throng saw Liu Song was dead .

"Bring me the cane!" However, Jiang Chen didn't want to let Zheng Ping go . He asked for the cane of the Hall of Penal Law .

It was called the snake cane, since it looked like a snake in one's hand . In fact, it was made from snakeskin and had been soaked in a special liquid medicine . It was hard to even hold the cane .

Zheng Ping turned pale and shouted angrily, "Jiang Chen, are you going to carry out the caning sentence here?!"

There were so many people watching . If he was caned here, he would feel too humiliated to stay in the school .

Jiang Chen sneered . Ding Bai was also standing in silence . Of course, it was no problem for Mo Xu .

Zheng Ping tasted the feeling of desperation in an instant .

But it surprised them all when Jiang Chen put down the cane and went back to his house .

About fifteen minutes later, Jiang Chen carried Meng Hao outside while the throng was curiously watching .

Meng Hao had woken up after Jiang Chen's treatment .

Jiang Chen wanted to show him how Zheng Ping was caned!

Zheng Ping flew into a rage when he realized Jiang Chen's intention . He felt an absolutely irreconcilable hatred towards Jiang Chen .

But Jiang Chen didn't care . He picked the snake cane up .

"What are you waiting for?!" Jiang Chen shouted .

"Let's wait and see!" Zheng Ping gnashed his teeth and turned around helplessly .

Pah!

Without any hesitation, Jiang Chen started to cane Zheng Ping .

Zheng Ping almost shouted because of the sharp pain . He was trembling, and people saw there was blood from where he'd been hit .

"Are you pretending to be tough?" Jiang Chen sneered and didn't stop the caning .

The blare of the cane was no weaker than firecrackers . Soon Zheng Ping lost his balance and continued trembling .

However, it was still far away from one hundred strikes .

Zheng Ping's heart sank . His forehead was covered in sweat .

He would have begged for mercy if there were not so many people around, but people were watching . He had to hold up .

After the tenth caning, Zheng Ping half knelt down with a scream .

Many people turned around to avoid seeing this tragic scene .

"Er!"

Jiang Chen gave a hint to Liu Song's subordinates with his eyes . They understood his intention . With some hesitation, they came up to Zheng Ping to grab his arms so that he could stand up .

And Jiang Chen went on with the caning .

Zheng Ping almost couldn't hold on anymore . He started to curse Jiang Chen and his family . But after cursing, he started to cry and beg for mercy .

Meng Hao understood Jiang Chen was taking revenge for him . Although he didn't know the whole story, he felt so grateful that his pains were not really a big deal for him anymore .

After thirty hits, Zheng Ping was almost unconscious .

"I am tired . It's your turn . Don't be lazy . And you, go and find some water to pour on his head . "

Jiang Chen was still unwilling to let Zheng Ping go . People were shocked by his order .

"This guy is cruel," the disciples were thinking to themselves .

Suddenly Jiang Chen glanced at the onlookers . Many of the disciples looked down unconsciously, even including some senior disciples .

"Who else wants to help me teach that guy a lesson? Bring it on!" Jiang Chen shouted . Then he left Zheng Ping behind and carried Meng Hao back to continue the treatment .

So Zheng Ping's caning sentence went on . Liu Song's men were not as cruel as Jiang Chen, but they didn't dare go easy on Zheng Ping, either .

When the one hundred canings finally finished, Zheng Ping was already half dead . He was carried away in the end .

Liu Song's dead body was taken care of by the Hall of Penal Law .

The blood on the ground reminded the disciples of what had happened that day . Everyone left with conflicted feelings .

No one had expected Jiang Chen, who was deemed unpromising, to have such a stunning performance when he was framed .

Of course, he wouldn't have succeeded without Mo Xu's help .

Everyone was wondering how Jiang Chen had come to know Mo Xu .

After everyone left, Wen Xin and Mo Xu went into Jiang Chen's house .

Wen Xin didn't speak to him until he had finished treating Meng Hao .

"Princess, you are my friend from today on . Meng Hao would have died without your help . "

Jiang Chen looked serious . Then he said to Meng Hao, "Meng Hao, the princess appointed her maid to take care of you after you got injured . Otherwise you could have died . "

"Thank you, princess!" Meng Hao said seriously .

"Not at all . " Wen Xin waved her hand . She didn't think she had done anything great . Then she glanced at Jiang Chen and said incredulously, "You didn't regard me as a friend before?"

"Eh…" Jiang Chen scratched his head as though he didn't know how to respond .

At that moment, Mo Xu coughed to attract Jiang Chen's attention .

Jiang Chen nodded at Wen Xin and followed Mo Xu to the garden .

"Thank you for your help today, Elder Mo!" Jiang Chen said .

"You are welcome . The Hall of Penal Law went too far . They do need to be punished . "

Mo Xu smiled and said, "My young friend, are you satisfied with the result?"

Jiang Chen nodded . His anger had been completely erased .

Mo Xu rubbed his hands together and was ready to talk frankly .

"Elder, you've helped me a lot . I am so grateful to you . I saw you were troubled by the tactical formation . I would like to help you resolve the problem!"

"Great . Great!"

Mo Xu was glad to see he knew so well the ways of the world . He didn't even need to persuade Jiang Chen .

"Jiang Chen, how much do you know about tactical formations?"

Since he had agreed, next Mo Xu needed to know his level .

Jiang Chen hesitated, since he didn't know how to define his level .

What did the people of the Sacred Zone call him? The first tactical formation master of the Sacred Zone?

Of course, he wouldn't tell Mo Xu this title . In the end he said humbly, "I'm very skilled . "

"…" Mo Xu looked at Jiang Chen, trying to figure out what he meant .

"He must be confident enough to resolve the problem of the great formation of the mountain protection, but too shy to tell me," Mo Xu thought to himself .

In this regard, Mo Xu was right .

"But, Elder Mo, is the great formation of the mountain protection crucial?" Jiang Chen smiled .

"Sure," Mo Xu answered immediately .

"If I fix it, will that be a great contribution?"

"Certainly . "

"Is it worth a million contributions?" Jiang Chen asked .

The other elders must have been surprised by him, but Mo Xu thought for a while and said, "Of course it's worth that . "

Jiang Chen smiled with satisfaction .

Three days later, Jiang Chen was promoted to senior disciple . The news shocked the whole Natural Law School .

Jiang Chen was promoted to senior after only two weeks of junior life . He must have had a great deal of money .

But, this possibility could be ruled out .

Jiang Chen was from the Hundred Thousand Mountains . He definitely didn't have a million rose gold coins .

No one knew the real reason . People only knew it was Elder Mo Xu who promoted him, so some thought he could be Elder Mo's illegitimate son .

If he wasn't, why would Elder Mo take care of Jiang Chen like this?
