Chapter 867

The place went silent . The silence lasted for some time since no one knew how to express their feelings .

Even Wang Teng, who was extremely arrogant, did not say anything . He wanted to take another look at the calligraphy work .

Ling Yushi realized she had lost her chance to replace the Civil and Martial Arts Institute . After this day, the Civil and Martial Arts Institute’s fame would get even greater . She was not angry at all, because she had been totally convinced .

Jiang Chen was truly amazing . Even though he had been despised, he did not get angry .

Suddenly, the stele outside of the Title Palace made a deep loud sound . The stele was shining . Inexplicable energy gathered on the platform .

The Title Battle finally started officially!

Everyone was looking at the stele attentively, waiting for the appearance of the first title . Under people’s gazes, the stele’s shine was changing . Three words appeared gradually .

Easy Wind Runner . The first word was red and the last two were white . This meant it was an insignificant title, which would be forgotten after this day . Even so, not everyone was qualified to compete for it . Only participants related to the lore of wind could fight for it . The others were not entitled to do it . Jiang Chen was qualified, but like others, he did not want this insignificant title . However, there were always people who wanted it .

Not everyone was here to fight for the best titles . Most people knew who they were and where their levels were . Even though it was an insignificant title, it still would be a glory to win it . Take Li Bai as an example . He participated in this Title Battle . Besides him, there were ten-odd people more . Their fight would not be a one-to-one fight . On the contrary, they would fight together . Only the final winner would be titled .

It was simple and violent . There were no complicated rules . Those who failed could stay on the platform to compete for the next title .

“Good luck,” Wang Teng said to Tian Ling . Since the battle had started, he flew away from the platform toward the opposite cliff . He threw Jiang Chen a glance before leaving . It was a complicated look . He was not the only one who was feeling that way . So was everyone present . If the Title Battle had not started on time, the embarrassing silence would have lasted for a long time .

“Thank you, Jiang Chen,” Tian Ling said gently, walking up to him .

“Jiang Chen, my birthday is next month,” walking over, Zhou Jianfeng said seriously .

“And mine is three days before New Year’s Day,” Li Bai said .

Looking at Jiang Chen, the two were almost explicitly telling him what they wanted .

“What a pity . My level is too high, and it makes my life really lonely . I’m going to stop writing in calligraphy,” Jiang Chen said with pity .

“Shoot!” Li Bai and Zhou Jianfeng certainly would not accept it . They said at the same time, “Women before friends!”

Tian Ling was embarrassed . Blushing, she walked away .

“Jiang Chen, watch out today!” As soon as Tian Ling had left, Yao Yuntong came up to Jiang Chen to warn him . She was quite uneasy . The thunder method inheritor was as pretty as Tian Ling . Her gaze was clear . Her mouth was like a rosebud . The dimples on her cheeks could be vaguely observed . She had a graceful beauty . Her slim body and ample bosom were especially attractive . Her thunder method was not the only reason that she had so many pursuers .

“Jiang Chen is a real ladies’ man,” Zhou Jianfeng exclaimed .

“What do you mean? Are you jealous of him?” Xiao Yujian looked over . Her brows went up in anger .

“He, he . Let’s cheer for Brother Li Bai,” Zhou Jianfeng hurried to change the topic .

On the other side, Jiang Chen and Yao Yuntong were talking . “Not everyone will get a title . The qualification doesn’t depend on attainments, but depends on whether you’re suitable or not,” Yao Yuntong said .

“I know . ”

This was the charm of the Title Battle . It was not a one-to-one fight anymore . And you could fight with many geniuses at the same time .

“The qualification will be less and less strict as the battle goes on, so that more people can trade blows . ”

Looking around, Yao Yuntong said, “Too many people hate you . This isn’t favorable for you . ”

“Take it easy . They won’t give away the opportunity to defeat me to others . ” Jiang Chen did not worry about it at all .

The competition for the first title had ended by then . A Wind Spirit disciple won . All of the participants who joined the competition had varying degrees of injuries, but no one died . The Wind Spirit winner walked up to the stele and pressed his hand onto it . The three words “Easy Wind Runner” were absorbed into his palm and then into his body . He kept his eyes slightly shut, as if he was pondering on something . Then he opened his eyes, beaming . People could not help but wonder what kind of inheritance instructions he had got .

The second title appeared soon . People exclaimed when the first word appeared . It was golden! The last two words were red . This was a moderate to advanced title .

“Junior Fist King!”

Fist practitioners on the platform got excited when they had seen the entire title . One of them shouted for a long time . His shout was as loud as thunder . Even the sky was shaken .

“The weak should stay out of the competition . Otherwise, you’ll have no one to blame if my energy accidentally kills you!” He flew into the air before anyone after shouting . Needless to say, he was a strong youngster, tall and large . He had a square face . His bulging muscles and a light armor showed after he took his coat off . His uncovered arms were full of vivid tattoos . He had an azure dragon on the left arm and a white tiger on the right arm . The two divine beasts were awoken when he closed his fists tightly . The dragon chimed, and the tiger growled . The chime and the growl were deafening .

“Han Jianyuan, the best fist practitioner . And he is an Earth Spirit . ”

“It’s said no youngster can resist his fist with pure force . ”

“He looks eager to be titled Junior Fist King . ”

“It’s an awe-inspiring title that suits him . Of course he wants it . ”

Some other people joined the competition as the onlookers discussed it with each other .

Han Jianyuan was strong indeed, but they would not give the title away without fighting for it . After all, this was not a one-to-one fight . That meant many things could happen .

“Ha, ha, ha, bring it on . I’ll smash you,” Han Jianyuan said arrogantly . The other competitors were also famous, but they were not the best . Until one man appeared, Jiang Zhe from the Jiangs . This was quite surprising . About his strength, the best word to describe it was infinite!

“Jiang Zhe, never heard you knew fist methods too,” Han Jianyuan said .

“I practiced one lately . I’m only here to warm myself up,” Jiang Zhe said indifferently .

“Cut the crap . The fact you are here means your fist method is great . However, it’s not great enough compared to mine . ”

Pointing over everyone who was there on the scene, Han Jianyuan said, “Bring it on together . I don’t want to waste any time . ”

“No . ” Jiang Zhe showed a mysterious smile . He said, “You bring it on together with them . I’ll end the fight as soon as possible . ”

“What?!”

Many people could hardly believe what they had just heard . They wondered since when Jiang Zhe had become so arrogant .

“Huh, show me where your confidence comes from . ”

Han Jianyuan certainly was not convinced . He was the first to attack . He threw his iron fist .
