Chapter 1127

In the Sword Pavilion, many people wanted to get the advantages of being in a favored position—for example, that Shi Xiao . They approached Lin Shuangyue deliberately to win her heart .

Although she did not have an aversion to them or give them a wide berth intentionally, they found it extremely hard to get close to her . Lin Shuangyue only saw them as friends .

Shi Xiao and the others were reluctant to accept that, but they could do nothing about it . They were not as audacious as the Wizard Race . They could not do whatever they wanted .

As a result, the rumors about her with Lu Ping made them very unhappy .

… . .

The next day, Shi Xiao and some others found Lu Ping in the remote mountain where he usually went to practice .

“I didn’t want to deal with you so that my hands wouldn’t get dirty, but you are not sophisticated enough to behave properly . ” Shi Xiao looked like he would not go until he had taught Lu Ping a lesson this day .

The students of the Sword Pavilion who had followed him there also pulled long faces . They did not only come along for the ride, but also came here to cheer for him .

Jiang Chen had also heard the rumors about Lin Shuangyue and him, but they were too ridiculous to bother him . He had never thought about the possibility that someone would challenge him for that .

“Do you think I’m scared of you?” Jiang Chen’s look was sharp . His cold face looked like he had experienced countless hardships .

“Okay . I’ll teach an arrogant guy like you a lesson, but I won’t use the sword doctrine force . ” Shi Xiao unsheathed his sword while speaking . It was a brilliant sword, a magic weapon .

In others’ eyes, the average spiritual sword in Lu Ping’s hand seemed to be extremely miserable .

“You are not going to use the sword doctrine force?”

Shaking his head, Jiang Chen tried very hard to keep a straight face . “You’re courting death!”

Shi Xiao took Jiang Chen’s reaction as an insult . He threw his sword over immediately . In his eyes, Lu Ping was just a beginner .

His sword momentum looked average without the sword doctrine force, but there was actually a hidden power in it .

Jiang Chen threw his sword over to confront it . His sword was fast and steady . He caught the enemy’s sword precisely . At the same time, the sword momentum started . He and the sword turned into one, as fast as a gale . In a trance, Shi Xiao had an illusion that he was not the one who had picked the fight, but the contrary . Then, he also threw himself into the battle . His sword movements appeared to be more and more delicate .

The two kept moving . The sword energies crisscrossed in the air . Flowers and grasses were cut off, one after another .

The other people started to retreat . They had been taking a dim view of Jiang Chen . However, as the fight went on, they were surprised to see Lu Ping crack all of Shi Xiao’s sword methods only by some basic movements . With reserves, he still got the advantage over Shi Xiao .

Although Shi Xiao did not use the sword doctrine force, since he had achieved it, the change brought by it had influenced him profoundly . Even though he did not use his sword doctrine, every method and movement of his had been improved by the sword doctrine . They could not help but think what Lu Ping would be like if he became an inheritor of some sword doctrine .

“He is a genius for sure . ” At the thought of his result in the entry test, they concluded involuntarily . “Darn it . “

Shi Xiao was pretty unhappy with the situation . He kept brandishing his sword fast, exerting his best movements .

“It’s time to end it . ” However, Jiang Chen had lost the interest to go on fighting with him . His look became cold . He exerted the lore of wind of the seventh level and threw the sword over . It was an average movement, but it did not only crack Shi Xiao’s movement, but also his defenses . The spiritual sword stopped in front of Shi Xiao’s neck . If Jiang Chen moved it forward a little more, Shi Xiao would be killed .

Those who had come to cheer for Shi Xiao all gasped . Shi Xiao had lost . That was out of question .

Even he himself was struck dumb . When he had come to himself again, his face flushed due to anger . He moved away, keeping a distance from the blade .

“What? Do you want to continue?” Jiang Chen asked .

“You know it better than anyone that if we both go all out, you won’t be a match for me at all,” Shi Xiao said stubbornly .

“You mean sword doctrine?” Jiang Chen was kind of surprised that he was so thick-skinned .

“I am a seven-star strongman working on two qi at the same time, and I’ve mastered an extraordinary Doctrine Method . ” Shi Xiao said proudly . Throwing Jiang Chen a glance, he said, “Who are you? How many qi are you working on at the same time? Tell me about it . “

Shaking his head, Jiang Chen glanced at his rival’s sword . “As a swordsman, you are bringing shame on swords . ” Then he left without looking back .

Shi Xiao’s chest was heaving up and down violently . Grasping his sword tightly, he looked resentful . When he could not hold his temper anymore and was about to launch an attack, he heard many footsteps coming . It was Lin Shuangyue and some other students who had heard the news .

“Shi Xiao, could you stop being such a moron?!” Lin Shuangyue said unhappily . She was as annoyed as Jiang Chen, especially by Shi Xiao’s reaction .

“Is the fight over?”

“Who won? I didn’t see anyone’s sword on the ground . “

“Must be Shi Xiao . Needless to ask . “

These voices and Lin Shuangyue’s look stopped Shi Xiao .

“Shuangyue, I did that for you,” Shi Xiao said in anger .

His reply pissed Lin Shuangyue off . She could not help but roll her eyes . He did what he wanted without considering others’ feelings . This kind of man was the most annoying .

“It’s none of your business!” Lin Shuangyue said . She did not realize her words could lead to a misunderstanding .

Shi Xiao turned black . He stood in front of Jiang Chen to stop the latter from leaving .

“Lu Ping, you don’t deserve to be a swordsman . Let me tell you one thing . At least I can keep staying in the Sword Pavilion, but what can you do? You’ll be eliminated soon . “

“Next time, my sword won’t stop,” Jiang Chen said in a cold tone .

His answer struck those who had just arrived dumb . They wondered what that was supposed to mean . Did it mean Jiang Chen had subdued Shi Xiao? Judging from the facial expressions of Shi Xiao’s minions, it seemed to be true .

“Make sure there will be a next time first . ” Then Shi Xiao left with his men . He did not want to stay there to be ridiculed by people .

Lin Shuangyue did not keep a distance from Jiang Chen to avoid a misunderstanding . Instead, she came up to him to check whether he was all right .

Other people started to gossip in low voices . Throwing them a glance, Jiang Chen could not say whether Lin Shuangyue was just not punctilious or she had not realized anything . Anyway, this Miss Lin had a strong character .

“It’s all right . He didn’t use the sword doctrine force,” Jiang Chen said .

Lin Shuangyue was assured . She knew Lu Ping’s basic skills were great .

“We’ll have a test soon . Are you confident in yourself?” Lin Shuangyue said .

The test was to see how much progress they had made by then . No matter how talented one was, one still could be eliminated for not having worked hard enough . In consideration of Lu Ping’s teacher, Lin Shuangyue had the same doubts about him as others .

Jiang Chen said he would just go with the flow . He parted with Lin Shuangyue to avoid further trouble . After going through two real fights in a row, Jiang Chen had had some clear thoughts about the sword movement he was going to invent .

… . .

Another day passed . And it was finally the day of the test . All students, beginners or premiums, must pass their respective tests .

Senior students would strive to rise up to elite level . Beginners would strive to rise up to medium level .

If they failed to level up, they would not remain in the same level . Instead, they would have to leave the Sword Pavilion . Through such selections, the students in the Sword Pavilion were always the best of the best .

Jiang Chen came into the hall of the Sword Pavilion, thinking about what happened last night when he was pondering on things .

“You are Jiang Chen? My name is Lin Xuan, Shuangyue’s cousin . ” A voice interrupted his thoughts . Jiang Chen looked up impatiently and saw a handsome youngster looking at him, smiling . Jiang Chen did not perceive any kindness from his smile . Instead, there was a pride in his smile that he could not hide .
