"He cultivated the Soul Martial Art Technique?"
"Semi Divine Infant Realm?"
"He indeed seems somewhat arrogant!"
"But he indeed has the capital to be arrogant, having cultivated the Soul Martial Art Technique, which is a symbol of invincibility within the same realm!"
The participants in the selection began to discuss, and the Semi Divine Infant Realm cultivators in the crowd all showed a trace of solemnity in their eyes, even a hint of avoidance.
Noticing the expressions of the crowd, Tang Zhenglin and the two others' faces slightly changed. They merely wanted to provoke dissatisfaction among other Semi Divine Infant Realm people with Du Jiangchen and overlooked what cultivating the Soul Martial Art Technique means within the same realm.
Seeing the expressions in the eyes of the other Semi Divine Infant Realm cultivators, the three frowned simultaneously.
The cold young man standing beside Chen Jingxuan glanced at the three of Tang Zhenglin, then at the Semi Divine Infant Realm powerhouses in the crowd, a mocking expression flashed in his eyes.
"Jiang Chen, wait a moment."
Chen Jingxuan politely nodded to Jiang Chen, then turned to glance at everyone: "Here I want to remind everyone that all your actions will be monitored by the Divine Infant Realm sect members in the air. High-level individuals are absolutely not allowed to attack those of a lower realm, or they will be eliminated immediately and banned for life from entering the Heavenly Sword Sect. Has everyone understood clearly?"
"Understood!" The crowd answered in unison.
"Chen Junior Brother, that Jiang Chen can already enter the sect directly, right?"
Tang Zhenglin turned to look at Chen Jingxuan.
Chen Jingxuan frowned slightly and nodded faintly.
Tang Zhenglin's mouth twisted into a smile and turned to Jiang Chen: "Jiang Chen, since you can already enter the sect directly, coming here for the assessment is just a formality. Why are you so eager to get the Identity Token? Do you not want others to pass the assessment?"
A group of participating Semi Divine Infant Realm cultivators frowned at Jiang Chen, eyes revealing a trace of dissatisfaction.
"When did I want to get a Token?"
Jiang Chen glanced at Tang Zhenglin: "I just wanted to ask Master Chen a question."
"What question?"
Chen Jingxuan quickly responded, not giving Tang Zhenglin a chance to speak.
"Is Yin Yang Sword Zhang Sanfeng Predecessor not supposed to arrive today?"
Jiang Chen looked expectant at Chen Jingxuan.
"Yes, as the chief examiner, Predecessor Zhang will indeed arrive today!"
"Why hasn't Predecessor Zhang arrived?"
"Is something delaying him?"
"I heard Predecessor Zhang is like an immortal, with an extraordinary demeanor. I really want to see him in person!"
The participating personnel looked expectantly at Chen Jingxuan.
Cultivators all worship the strong, Zhang Sanfeng's name is already quite famous in Shenmu Prefecture, and all Sword Cultivators want to see this master who can perfectly integrate the Great Dao of Light, Darkness, and Sword Dao.
"Jiang Chen, are you accusing Elder Zhang of being absent? You are quite bold!"
Liu Jianming seized the moment and shouted.
"Accusing Predecessor Zhang?"
"This guy is truly audacious!"
"Exactly, what does Predecessor Zhang's attendance have to do with him?"
"Who does he think he is, to have people come whenever he wants them to?"
Some ill-intentioned participants spoke out against Jiang Chen.
Qiu Ying slightly frowned, looked at Liu Jianming and then at those speaking, a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes.
The cold young man glanced at Liu Jianming, again showing a mocking expression in his eyes, then turned to Jiang Chen to see how he would respond.
Jiang Chen completely ignored Liu Jianming, staring directly at Chen Jingxuan, eyes still filled with expectation.
Chen Jingxuan looked at Jiang Chen; he didn't believe Jiang Chen was accusing Zhang Sanfeng. From Jiang Chen's eyes, he could see that Jiang Chen genuinely wanted to meet Zhang Sanfeng.
"It seems you have already planned the cultivation direction after entering the sect. However, wanting to become Master's disciple might be a bit difficult..."
Thinking of Jiang Chen's insights into the Golden Path and the small golden sword inside the sphere, Chen Jingxuan smiled lightly and explained: "Master did not come because he suddenly sensed an opportunity for a breakthrough before departure, so he secluded himself in the sect for a breakthrough. I will temporarily act as the chief examiner for this assessment."
Disappointment flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes, but it was not too strong, after all, he could still meet him at the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"Well, if nobody has further questions, you can claim your Identity Tokens now!"
Chen Jingxuan swept a glance over everyone and announced aloud.
"Jiang Chen, you're really not planning to take a Token? If you claim a Token and leave the forest with it after three hours, Elder Zhang might hear of you, and you might receive his favor then."
Tang Zhenglin spoke again, as if helping Jiang Chen come up with an idea: "You must know, Elder Zhang is the most mysterious elder in the sect, rarely seen, and only accepts disciples with insights into Light and Darkness. Even if Chen Junior Brother values you and helps you request a meeting, Elder Zhang might not agree to see you!"
Jiang Chen glanced at Tang Zhenglin, then turned to Chen Jingxuan.
Of course, Jiang Chen has to meet Zhang Sanfeng; otherwise, he wouldn't join the Heavenly Sword Sect. With his temperament, joining a sect is not the best choice.
Chen Jingxuan hesitated a bit and nodded lightly: "Indeed, Master rarely meets people."
The three hundred participants already noticed the nuances at this time: Chen Jingxuan values Jiang Chen highly, whereas Tang Zhenglin and the others keep targeting Jiang Chen, causing some insightful people to start contemplating.
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, stepped forward, and took an Identity Token inscribed with 'Semi Divine Infant' from Chen Jingxuan's hand.
With Jiang Chen taking the lead, others gradually stepped forward to claim Tokens, and soon thirty Tokens were all claimed.
"Good! Those who claimed Tokens enter the forest first, others will chase after a quarter of an hour, with the forest boundary as the limit. Anyone leaving the forest within three hours is considered withdrawn from the assessment!"
Chen Jingxuan announced aloud.
Swish, swish, swish!
Those who claimed Tokens flashed and rushed into the forest.
Jiang Chen glanced at Lin Yuyan, then turned to Chen Jingxuan: "Please help look after her."
Chen Jingxuan was startled, glanced at Jiang Chen, then at Tang Zhenglin and the others, nodded lightly.
Swish!
Receiving Chen Jingxuan's response, Jiang Chen leapt into the forest.
"Jingxuan, this Jiang Chen is somewhat unusual."
The cold young man approached Chen Jingxuan and spoke in a low voice.
"Hmm!"
Chen Jingxuan nodded: "He has an innate aura of a superior on him, and when facing me, a Mid Divine Infant Realm cultivator, he interacts calmly without any trace of fear or deference, indicating he frequently engages with such individuals. Coupled with his Soul Martial Art Technique, he likely hails from a great family!"
"It seems your Heavenly Sword Sect people don't favor him. Should I take him back with me?"
The cold young man suddenly smiled, giving Chen Jingxuan a meaningful look.
