Chapter 22: Shadows in the Night
The pitch-black Zhenjiang stone stele, at the top, shines with the word 'Jiang Chen'.
Like an invisible slap, it slapped the face of everyone who asserted that Jiang Chen could not exceed ten zhang height, and millions of people almost felt a hot sting on their faces.
"W-How is this possible?"
"Didn't the Jiang family say that Jiang Chen was a waste? It was the Yellow Rank First Rank Martial Soul that awakened, and he only stepped into the first level of martial arts two months ago?
"Damn, I've heard a long time ago that after Jiang Taixu disappeared, the Jiang family didn't want to see Jiang Chen. I used to think it was just a rumor, but now it seems that everything is true!"
"Jiang Tai, they are too ungrateful, right? If it weren't for Jiang Taixu back then, the Jiang family would have been removed from the list of the four major families a long time ago, and now they treat the sons of heroes like this?"
"This is the big family, there are only eternal interests, and there is no affection at all. ”
"This time, Jiang Tai and Jiang Ziyou's faces are swollen!"
Millions of people roared in unison, and the sensation was unimaginable.
These words fell word for word into the ears of Jiang Tai, Jiang Ziyou and others, making their faces more and more ugly.
Xu Ying looked teasing and said with a mocking smile: "Master Jiang, this is the so-called waste? If such a person is still called waste, can you Jiang family get other geniuses?"
Lin Shengfeng said indifferently: "Master Xu, you better say a few words! Don't you see that Jiang Tai's face is almost like a pig's liver?"
"Hahaha, Jiang Tai, Jiang Tai, I heard that you personally expelled Jiang Chen from the Jiang family? Well, I do have a little niece who has also reached marriageable age, let's see if I can recruit Jiang Chen, a little guy, to my Chen family and be a door-to-door son-in-law!" Chen Tianrun raised his eyebrows, and said mockingly with a thick smile in his eyes.
Sima Tao frowned, and his gaze at Jiang Tai was also a little mocking.
Previously, Jiang Tai was full of words, telling him that Jiang Chen was a waste, but now he was nakedly slapped in the face, which is also funny.
Jiang Tai's face was extremely ugly, he had been convincing before, asserting that Jiang Chen was a waste.
As a result, Jiang Chen slapped him in the face with a record-breaking attitude, making the killing intent in his heart more and more intense, glaring at Lin Shengfeng and the others fiercely, Jiang Tai said in a gloomy tone: "What about rushing to the Zhenjiang Stone Tablet for thirty zhang? Don't forget that his talent is just a waste of a Yellow Order first-grade martial soul, what achievements can he have in the future?"
"Not to mention that he is only fifteen years old to break through the first level of martial arts, I am afraid that in this life, at most he will reach the ninth level of martial arts. ”
Jiang Tai's words made several people stunned, and then they thought that Jiang Chen's martial soul was only the weakest golden needle martial soul, and they couldn't help but show regret, and then heard Jiang Tai say with a proud face, "What's more...... The little girl Jiang Ziyou, just waiting for the end of the Magnolia Festival, she will go to the Holy Martial Sword Sect and become a human being. As for Jiang Chen, do you think he can threaten the status of the little girl?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone who had mocked Jiang Tai before couldn't help but close their mouths.
As he said.
Jiang Ziyou is about to become a person of the Holy Martial Sword Sect, and his future prospects are limitless, as for Jiang Chen, at most, he will be dazzling at this stage of the Zhenjiang Stone Stele.
With his waste qualification of a first-grade martial soul of the Yellow Order, he will be eliminated after all.
Sima Tao nodded secretly, with a smile on his face, and said, "What the Jiang family master said is extremely true, Miss Ziyou can become a disciple of the Holy Martial Sword Sect, this is the supreme glory of my Yan Capital City. In the future, we still need Miss Ziyou to help us!"
"It's nature!"
Jiang Tai nodded with a smile.
But if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that his gaze has always stayed on Jiang Chen's body, and there is a chill in the depths of his dark eyes.
Meanwhile......
Jiang Chen had already fallen back on the altar, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, with a sneer, he looked at Jiang Ziyou and the others, and said sarcastically unceremoniously: "I'm sorry, I accidentally overtook your grades!"
"Damn it!"
"Jiang Chen, you are less carried away, the Zhenjiang stone tablet test is nothing!"
"It's too arrogant, I don't know how high the sky is high and ......" Lin Yu and several other geniuses all showed angry expressions, and they all blushed and roared at Jiang Chen.
In the past, they all looked down on Jiang Chen and mocked him unscrupulously, but now they were slapped in the face, which made these geniuses with their eyes above the top feel extremely uncomfortable.
Jiang Ziyou was the calmest person, she squinted her eyes and stared at Jiang Chen, and after a while, she sighed leisurely, and a light voice sounded: "Jiang Chen, why do you bother? With your talent, even if you do everything on the road of martial arts, you will never have too high an achievement, why bother yourself like this?"
"Embarrassing myself?no, no, no, I enjoy the thrill that pursuing the peak of martial arts brings me!" Jiang Chen waved his hand and said.
Jiang Ziyou sighed and said, "You're still so hard-mouthed, don't you know it?" Your father left a lot of advanced martial arts secrets back then, and you must have cultivated some of them, so you can have such an amazing performance, right? But those secret techniques such as short-term cultivation improvement have huge sequelae, and they are just side ways after all!"
"I advise you to give up! I can still fulfill the promise I promised you, give you a good fortune, and let you go to the countryside to be a rich and rich tyrant, and live a life of abundant food and clothing, why not?"
Jiang Ziyou leaned forward slightly, staring at Jiang Chen with a pair of eyes, and said.
Her words were extremely arrogant and cold, as if a high-ranking queen was giving orders to a lowly commoner and giving alms to Jiang Chen.
But she forgot......
From beginning to end, she was using Jiang Chen, deceiving Jiang Chen, and even desperately trying to eradicate Jiang Chen, so as to seize everything that belonged to Jiang Chen.
"Hahaha, ridiculous, ridiculous!"
Jiang Chen smiled angrily and said coldly, "Jiang Ziyou, don't pretend to be hypocritical in front of Lao Tzu, I have already seen through your femme fatale." I told you, no one wants to take away the things that belong to me Jiang Chen, and I will use my fists to get them back one by one if you try your best to snatch them from me. ”
Anyway.
Jiang Chen jumped off the altar, walked towards Yandu City, and disappeared into the crowd.
Jiang Ziyou's face turned pale, staring at Jiang Chen's departing back, her hands were tightened, and there was a cold light in her eyes: "I don't know what to do, since you toast and don't eat and drink, then don't blame me for being ruthless." Jiang Chen, you forced me to do all this!"
With Jiang Chen's departure, the sensation he caused slowly subsided.
Qian Duoduo stood on the altar, cleared his throat, and said, "Everyone, all the geniuses of our Yandu City have already engraved their names on the Zhenjiang Stone Tablet. Next, you will have a day to prepare, and tomorrow at noon, all the young powerhouses who are more than ten zhang tall will gather here and go to this battlefield to hunt demon beasts!"
"The next time belongs to all of us, the bonfire, start now!"
Qian Duoduo gave an order.
A skyrocketing cannon shot straight into the sky, bursting in an instant, exploding brilliant fireworks above the darkness of the sky.
Millions of strong people on the ground gathered around a bonfire and began a celebratory night program.
As for those young geniuses who exceeded the height of the Zhenjiang Stone Monument, they returned to their respective families or camps, and began to recuperate, preparing for the upcoming demon beast hunting journey tomorrow.
It's just that no one found out......
In the dark night, a figure quietly left from the Jiang family's camp and followed the direction of Jiang Chen's departure......
