The Brilliant Fighting Master

“Apprentice sister, don’t be angry with me.”

Jiang Chen wiped the blood off his blade and told her what had happened.

Li Xue’er raised her eyebrows when she learned that Tang Ke had intended to violate her. The air became terribly frozen, but she didn’t completely believe Jiang Chen. She had many doubts, but they would stay doubts since Jiang Chen had killed Tang Ke.

“You should have told me before you killed him,” Li Xue’er said.

Pu!

Jiang Chen suddenly spit out blood and fell onto the ground weakly. He smiled helplessly, “If I had waited any longer, I wouldn’t have been able to kill him.”

His last attack had put him in a similar situation to Li Xue’er’s. Meng Qian had been in a relatively low state, so Li Xue’er had killed her easily, but Tang Ke and he were equal in strength. It was more difficult for him.

However, the consequences were better than Li Xue’er’s. His state wouldn’t degrade even if he didn’t take in the source of primordial yuan.

The reason was simple—he had holy pulses.

Li Xue’er was surprised; it dawned on her that although she had been awake, she wasn’t any more powerful than Jiang Chen.

If Tang Ke hadn’t died, he would be a threat to both of them.

“Let’s recover first. Otherwise, it’ll be dangerous,” Li Xue’er said.

Jiang Chen nodded. He moved onto the crack with effort, feeling the source of primordial yuan along with his apprentice sister.

By then, the source of primordial yuan was already very weak, but Jiang Chen could exert practice methods in the Realm of Beasts, which would be a help to Li Xue’er as well.

When they finished, something occurred to Li Xue’er. She stared at Jiang Chen and said, “We could have recovered faster than Tang Ke earlier.”

“Yeah, but I had to kill him,” Jiang Chen said.

“Why? What did he have on you?” The air around Li Xue’er was so frozen that it could be seen by the naked eye. She sounded cold, too.

She had been in a coma. Jiang Chen had taken off her clothes. Although he had done it to help her, it was hard to say whether he had done anything else to “take advantage” of the situation.

“Yeah. I couldn’t allow him to tell others about today,” Jiang Chen said.

Li Xue’er squinted. Icicles appeared from nowhere in the air, floating around Jiang Chen.

“Apprentice sister, you should know how I saved you, but if others know about it, you’ll be slandered. I won’t allow that to happen,” Jiang Chen said.

“I don’t care. You should know that’s not exactly what I want to hear.”

Jiang Chen let out a sigh and said, “You were in a coma. No one could testify for whatever I said. You just have to trust me.”

“I don’t know you so well after all,” Li Xue’er said coldly.

Somehow, Jiang Chen felt heartbroken when he heard Li Xue’er’s response.

“Even though I tell you I didn’t do anything else, your doubts won’t be cleared. You’ll keep wondering whether I harassed you or not. It won’t do any good to your practice and will develop into a grudge,” Jiang Chen said.

“So?” Li Xue’er didn’t understand where he was going with this.

“So whether I did it or not, just assume I did it, as a way to prevent a grudge,” Jiang Chen puffed up his chest. He spoke in a not quite loud, but resolute voice.

Li Xue’er was struck dumb. She looked at Jiang Chen and stayed silent.

“Do you think I won’t?!” she shouted and all the icicles flew towards Jiang Chen.

The icicles were as sharp as a sword. They would turn Jiang Chen into a hedgehog, but they stopped when they were very close to him.

Li Xue’er looked at Jiang Chen’s calm face, where there was even a slight smile. He didn’t intend to flinch or fight back. He was totally peaceful.

Suddenly, Li Xue’er snorted and turned around. She flew into the air and disappeared from Jiang Chen’s sight.

Apprentice sister didn’t have the heart to kill me.

Jiang Chen was very joyful. He was beaming.

But unfortunately, Li Xue’er had vanished, and he wanted to chase her. In the end, he went back alone.

He had found the spiritual herb, and there was half a month to go until the close of the Realm of Beasts.

Jiang Chen wasn’t worried for his apprentice sister, since she had great strength. He started to focus on his practicing.

With the crack where the primordial yuan was emitted as his camp, he started to hunt the monsters nearby.

Although he could recover the energy he had lost in the fight with Tang Ke through practicing alone, it would do him good if he had monster meat and blood.

It did work. After killing three general-level monsters, he spread their blood all over his body and cooked herbal cuisines with their meat. In this way, his strength was greatly enhanced.

But his state was still the beginning of the preliminary stage. After all, he was already in the Mental Wander State, and it wouldn’t be so easy for him to achieve a breakthrough.

Several days had passed when he finished all of these things. Jiang Chen was wondering how to achieve the completed preliminary state, then thought of the two seeds.

He took out the golden seed. Besides the methods and martial arts techniques, he also found abundant panaceas in it.

They were all practice panaceas.

They were called practice panaceas because they could help with the practice. Practitioners usually took large amounts of them while practicing.

There’s another kind of panacea. Although sometimes they had the same class as practice panaceas, there were only a few of them. They couldn’t be taken in large amounts either.

They were used to break through a bottleneck, hence they were called breakthrough panaceas.

Among them, there was the Pure Yang Pill that Jiang Chen had refined, the Deity Elixir of the Natural Law School, and the Seven Transformations Elixir of the Isle of Sky.

They had the same class as the practice panaceas, but were able to help practitioners break through the Mental Wander State.

There were abundant class-three and class-four practice panaceas in the golden seed, but to Jiang Chen’s surprise, among them, there was a class-four and a class-five breakthrough panacea.

How generous! This really is generous. No wonder all those talented people are so eager to get the seeds.

Jiang Chen was pleasantly surprised. Besides the panaceas, there were also many yuan stones and some protective spiritual weapons in the seed.

Among them, one thing caught Jiang Chen’s attention.

It was a fireball as big as a fist, but it was solid.

Genuine fire?

As knowledgeable as Jiang Chen was, he recognized it immediately.

These forces have made great investments.

Various groups of the Fire Field must have contributed precious resources to make up these seeds and spread them throughout the Realm of Beasts.

It meant that those who found the seeds would get the benefits of all the groups in the Fire Field.

This so-called “genuine fire” was used to comprehend martial arts techniques of creation.

The martial techniques of creation referred to properties such as wind, fire, thunder, and electricity.

Achieving a high level of martial arts techniques of creation required all kinds of opportunities. One couldn’t achieve it by just sitting and doing nothing.

For example, if a guy who wanted to comprehend the creation of fire went into the water to practice, he would be putting in effort for nothing.

Inside the seed was a pile of genuine fire.

Like a holy pulse, genuine fire didn’t mean a single kind of fire, but referred to all kinds of fire in the world that were different from average fire.

Li Qin had been able to break through the creation of wind because she had received a holy bone and used the secret contained in it.

It would be the same for those who received genuine fire. Feeling it would assist one in learning the creation of fire, but it was a pity that what Jiang Chen wanted to improve at that moment was the creation of wind and the creation of metal so that his elevation of the sword would be improved.

“Apprentice brother, look! It’s a golden seed. He has a golden seed!”

Suddenly, Jiang Chen heard a voice. He wasn’t surprised at all. There had been many people attracted here by the source of primordial yuan emitted by the crack.

For those who had a good attitude, he wouldn’t mind allowing them to take in the source of primordial yuan. As for those with a bad attitude, he would just teach them a lesson, yet this time, they not only wanted the source of the primordial yuan, but also coveted his golden seed.
