Lin Shuangyue wasn’t aware that the person in front of her, Lu Ping, was really Jiang Chen.

“I don’t know,” Jiang Chen replied coldly, and it was apparent that he didn’t want to waste his breath by talking to her.

“Stop!” Seeing him disregard her like this, Lin Shuangyue was irritated. She grabbed onto his arm. Jiang Chen responded by grabbing Lin Shuangyue’s wrist.

“What do you want to do?” Lin Shuangyue became flustered. They couldn’t use their Starry Sea’s power here and could only depend on their physical power. Women were innately inferior to men in this respect.

“I’m sorry, it’s just an instinctive response.” Jiang Chen came back to his senses, and he let go of her hand. He still wore an odd look.

Lin Shuangyue didn’t believe his response. She sized him up with her big eyes and after a moment said, “If you lay your hands on me again, you will face dreadful consequences.”

Jiang Chen opened his mouth to speak before hesitating. He remained silent. At that moment, Jiang Chen felt that Lin Shuangyue’s body had a special fragrance which was similar to the one emitted by Tang Shiya’s Love Thread Tribulation Technique.

He had assumed that Lin Shuangyue was also such a kind woman, but he then noticed that something was amiss. First, this wasn’t the Love Thread Tribulation Technique. Additionally, Lin Shuangyue wasn’t the technique’s caster, but its victim. Someone was planning to use extreme measures to obtain Lin Shuangyue’s body and heart.

Jiang Chen wanted to warn her. However, once he opened his mouth, he realized that he would end up exposing many matters if he did and so remained quiet.

Meanwhile, the true Jiang Chen left the Tian Hu Hostel and rushed over to the Sword Pavilion.

Lu Ping parted from Lin Shuangyue, who no longer had an interest in him, and went back to Wu Ming’s house.

“Master, why I feel as though my sword techniques have reached transcendence-level even though I don’t have any Sword Doctrine?” Jiang Chen asked bluntly.

Even after Jiang Chen became Wu Ming’ disciple, Wu Ming didn’t expose his magical clone and asked him to keep Lu Ping’s identity.

“What is a Sword Doctrine? You should uncover this and not let yourself be limited by your common sense. You should free your thoughts,” Wu Ming said.

Jiang Chen was taken aback by this. As he thought about the Doctrine Method and the Martial Doctrine, he suddenly realized something.

“Humans came up with several names for the Sword Doctrine. They imprisoned themselves within it and called such a Sword Doctrine an inheritance. As a matter of fact, those are just the empty words of people who don’t understand the Sword Doctrine fully and can’t learn its essence,” Wu Ming said.

Jiang Chen lowered his head and thought about this. He felt like he had suddenly become enlightened.

“However, before you reply, you must inform me of the true meaning of the Sword Doctrine you have previously learned,” Wu Ming said.

Jiang Chen was about to say ‘immortal and inexhaustible’ when he became dazed. He realized what his master meant by empty words.

“One can’t really blame you because the Sword Doctrine is broad and profound, and all inheritors are just youngsters. But it can still be said that the Sword Doctrine’s creators and inheritors had different views about it. If you want to understand a Sword Doctrine clearly, you must find your own Sword Spirit. It’s only after getting a Sword Spirit that you will be able to comprehend your own Sword Doctrine and reach transcendence-level.”

“Even though the beginner moves I have taught you seem simple, they are still the core of everything. They are hacking, thrusting, tapping, raising, lowering, cutting, waving, tearing, poking, picking, and twisting, and signaling. There are twelve moves. How many did you learn?”

“Six moves,” Jiang Chen replied.

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Wu Ming, who always behaved in a dignified manner, nearly spat up the tea he had just swallowed.

Jiang Chen assumed that his performance was too bad, and he quickly said, “Master, I can learn more tonight and reach the eighth move. No, I can reach even the ninth move.”

Splutter!

In the end, Wu Ming couldn’t avoid coughing up the tea. “Doesn’t this mean that you will finish learning them tomorrow?” Wu Ming said excitedly.

“That’s right.” Jiang Chen realized that he wasn’t been reprimanded and could set his mind at ease.

“Three days! It has just taken three days.”

Wu Ming recalled how long he had taken to learn the twelve moves, and he felt ashamed of himself. He couldn’t help but recall what Jiang Chen had said when he became his disciple. He didn’t care about it then, but now, it seemed like it was really possible.

While Jiang Chen continued practicing with his sword, Wu Ming took out his sword.

“I mustn’t laze around, or else that lad may end up surpassing me in less than ten years.” Even though Wu Ming spoke grudgingly, his face was filled with delight.

Jiang Chen continued practicing with his sword on the mountain, and when he learned the eighth move, he suddenly got enlightenment. As Jiang Chen recalled his master’s words, he felt like the world’s mysteries were uncovering themselves to him.

After a long while had passed, Jiang Chen opened his eyes, while his face became filled with excitement.

“Three years worth of bitter cultivation doesn’t amount to a great teacher’s guidance.”

Jiang Chen felt like he was a sponge crazily absorbing the knowledge taught to him by Wu Ming. As he recalled his earlier hesitation in recognizing Wu Ming as his master, he realized that he had been too pretentious.

Outside the Sword Pavilion, the students who had finished the day’s study session came out. Most students cultivated many matters simultaneously, and they would only come to attend class at a specific time before leaving at the end of their session.

All students wore white long outfits and seemed confident and at ease. They were all enviable! Every student’s face was filled with pride, and they enjoyed the crowd’s attention.

Jiang Chen was standing outside the academy waiting with other people. Many of the people looked at him.

When Yang Jing walked out, he immediately recognized Jiang Chen and went over to him. “Well? The renowned Jiang Chen unexpectedly left Tian Hu Hostel. It’s really surprising!” Yang Jing spoke in a loud voice on purpose.

The people who had thought that Jiang Chen looked familiar finally realized who he was.

The renowned Jiang Chen had offended the Thunder God Sect! He had hidden inside and had not dared to come out.

“Didn’t I beat you once? Why are you shouting at me?” Jiang Chen, who didn’t disguise himself, didn’t need to put on an act. He wore a bright smile revealing his white teeth.

Yang Jing gritted his teeth, while his gaze became ice-cold. He said coldly, “Your fame is just a flash in the pan. You have already lost the limelight. This is why your current look is really ridiculous.”

Yang Jing wasn’t mistaken. Master Luo Cheng’s fame had spread far and wide, to the entire Heavenly Martial Arts Realm. The news about Black Wind Swordsman had also occurred in Sky Reaching City.

A weirdo like Jiang Chen who bombarded the All Saints Sect had become mediocre and ordinary after he had run into the Thunder God Sect. This was a commonly seen matter.

The fame of people without a stable foundation, who didn’t have a great familial background nor a great faction’s support, was often just a flash in the pain.

The Martial Saint’s disciple left, while the Abundance Land Academy’s spiritual lady hadn’t interacted with him at all recently. It could be said that Jiang Chen was out of time.

Jiang Chen resisted the impulse to laugh out loud, and then he noticed Lin Shuangyue was coming out of the academy. Jiang Chen came here to warn this woman, and the reason why he would do this was because of her great aunt. He would do it for her great aunt.

When Yang Jing noticed where Jiang Chen was looking, he suddenly realized what he had come here for. “A toad wants to eat swan meat, does he? Do you want to fawn over the Lin family’s young miss?” Yang Jing said mockingly.

“Did anyone ever tell you that you are like a fly?” Jiang Chen didn’t bother with him and was about to approach Lin Shuangyue. But just as he took several steps forward, he noticed that someone had already gone to speak to her.

“A Wizard Clan’s member?” When Jiang Chen detected that person’s aura, he was quite taken aback.

“You didn’t expect it, did you? Do you realize now how insignificant you are?” Yang Jing said complacently.
