The old man swallowed his saliva, full of surprise. He had never lost control like this.
The other trainees of the heaven-grade class couldnât believe what they had seen on the stick, either.
Before they could say anything, the stone carving Jiang Chen had completed emitted an extremely brilliant light. It wasnât just shining; everyone in the room was drowned in the light.
Except for the light, they could see nothing else.
Han Simingâs work was trivial compared to it.
When the light was gone, they saw Jiang Chen pick the stick up, as cool as he had been before when he had been misunderstood and belittled.
Jiang Chen felt delighted. He had finally achieved what he had been longing for. From then on, his sword would be different from anyone elseâs.
âApprentice Brother Jiang Chen is always so great!â Tianxu shouted excitedly when he came to himself.
It occurred to the others that Jiang Chen had given up the position of class leader first, then achieved climax. They all felt embarrassed.
âJiang Chen, congratulations. Youâve achieved climax in the third room. That has never happened before in the history of the martial arts workshop.â
The old man recovered from the surprise and approached to Jiang Chen. He said, âThe highest level in the next two rooms is also climax, so they wonât be helpful for you.â
Everyone could hear the respect in the old manâs voice.
âI know, but Iâll stay.â
Jiang Chen looked towards Yin Shuang and Tianxu. They had pit themselves against everyone else for him. If he left, the others wouldnât help them.
âAll right.â Of course, the old man wouldnât force him to go.
In this way, Jiang Chen stayed in the heaven-grade class as an observer.
The next two rooms were no longer useful to him, but he offered Tianxu and Yin Shuang a great deal of help.
In the last room, the twoâs levels were already the same as Han Simingâs, ahead of the majority.
Yin Shuang even achieved climax as well in the end, while Tianxu and Han Siming both achieved supremity.
âThis heaven-grade class is the best ever,â said the old man. He didnât even have to say it. It was unprecedented to have two climaxes in one class, but the others didnât feel as happy about it. Instead, they were regretful.
âJiang Chen, youâre really great, better than me.â Han Siming was rather candid. He admitted his insufficiency but didnât feel ashamed of it.
Tang Wanru was embarrassed. She hadnât received benefits from either party, and nothing would ever happen between her and Han Siming.
And she had asked for it.
âLetâs go.â Jiang Chen looked towards Yuchi Hong. The latter had been silent and stopped challenging him ever since he had achieved climax.
He wouldnât be angered or affected by a guy like Yuchi Hong. He would only silence his rival.
âLetâs go!â Yuchi Hong said in fury.
By then, they were still in the yard, but their states had recovered.
As soon as he lost his temper, Yuchi Hongâs powerful energy erupted. As a Cloud Six of the Reaching Heaven State, among a bunch of Mental Wander States, he wasnât too bad.
But he wasnât good enough for Jiang Chen. âI thought you were much better.â
âCut the crap. The creation of nature and martial arts techniques arenât the only things that matter. Theyâre only techniques used in a fight. Do you think these fifteen days of practice are enough for you to ignore the gap in our states?â Yuchi Hong shouted.
âHowever, as a Cloud Seven, Liu Shayang was also killed by Apprentice Brother Jiang Chen. As for martial arts techniques, your final level is only excellent,â Tianxu reminded him.
Yuchi Hongâs smile was obviously a little stiff, but he recovered very quickly.
âCut the crap. Letâs fight!â Yuchi Hong shouted and flew into the air.
When he was close to the clouds, he looked down but didnât see Jiang Chen.
Suddenly, he sensed something. He looked up and saw Jiang Chen not far away, as if he had been waiting there for a long time.
âDamn it.â Yuchi Hong thought he had been humiliated, so he gnashed his teeth and punched his fist out.
The others hadnât left, of course. They had been expecting this show for a while.
To see better, the Reaching Heaven States all flew into the air.
The old man and a few Mental Wander States were standing on the ground.
Yuchi Hong isnât ranked on List A of the Dragon Rise List. His state is lower than Liu Shayangâs. His martial arts techniques arenât a match for Jiang Chenâs. He has no chance of winning.
This was what everyone was thinking. Yuchi Hongâs fist attack didnât seem a big threat to Jiang Chen.
Even Jiang Chen was frowning. His rival was so weak that he didnât even intend to kill him.
âHuh.â
However, when Yuchi Hong approached Jiang Chen, he suddenly smiled cunningly. A peculiar black energy gushed out of his body.
It solidified into armor that was shining with metal luster on his body.
He was short, but in the armor, he seemed very tall and strong, giving off a dangerous air.
âSo itâs true. Heâs one of the Yuchis,â The old man murmured when he saw this. He looked worried for Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chenâs instincts also told him that he had to be careful, but his rival hadnât put on the armor until he was already very close. He had done this intentionally. Obviously, he didnât want Jiang Chen to have any chance to dodge.
âStrike!â Jiang Chen drew out his black knife and struck many times in one second. After his creation of metal had improved, his Ultimate Knife Method was also much more powerful.
Pah! Pah! Pah!
However, the knife attacks combined with the creation of wind and metal only caused some sparks when they hit Yuchi Hongâs armor. Not even a mark was left.
âHaha.â Yuchi Hong threw another fist at him, violently and brutally. His whole arm and even his fist were covered in metal.
âMagical Thunder Armor!â
Jiang Chen had no time for surprise. He switched on his protective energy jar immediately, but he failed to ward it off. The powerful fist pierced through the sparks smoothly and hit his shoulder.
Jiang Chen was deflected, and his shoulder cracked. Then his whole arm hung loosely.
âHaha, see?! Jiang Chen, you thought you could win me?â Yuchi Hong shouted conceitedly.
Those on the ground paled, including Han Siming. He said to the others, âEach of Jiang Chenâs knife attacks was exponentially more powerful than Yuchi Hongâs fist attack, but even so, he failed to crack Yuchi Hongâs defense!â
âGosh!â
The others took a deep breath.
âGhost holy armor.â Facing Yuchi Hongâs pride, Jiang Chen said, âA protective energy jar formed by the flowing of ghost sands, which you allow your body to absorb into your blood.â
Just like the Xiaâs emperorâs royal armor, the ghost sand he had mentioned was a rare strategic resource that could be used by humans.
âYeah?â
Yuchi Hong hadnât expected him to know this. He said curiously, âSo you know it clearly. Then you should have heard of the Yuchis.â
âPractitioners of ghost holy armor canât practice martial arts techniques that rely on weapons. They can only use their fists. Even finger methods and palm methods are difficult for them. Only foolish people who are driven into a corner use that method,â said coldly Jiang Chen.
âThen I want to see you be killed by a foolish person!â
