Chapter 298: Mo Jianfei

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 .
