Whoosh—

Shanben Liang wasn't seriously injured, and his figure was still extremely fast. In a blink of an eye, he was behind Jiang Chen.

At that moment, he roared, "Bastard! Was it you who played tricks? I'll kill you!"

And as the roar began, he had leapt into the air, charging straight at Jiang Chen.

"Good—" Xu Zhiyan didn't dissuade him from behind; instead, he shouted in approval.

"Mr. Jiang, be careful!" Lu Jingming, who had just stepped down from the ring, changed color drastically and hurriedly charged toward Jiang Chen. However, he was too far away to reach him in time and could only shout out loud.

Lin Zhiyan and the others also changed expression and shouted anxiously, "Watch out behind you!"

But Jiang Chen's mouth curled up into a cold smile. He turned around, shifted his figure to the side, and then raised a finger, pointing it out fiercely.

"Ah!"

Thud!

A burst of explosive sound echoed as Jiang Chen's finger landed precisely on the left side of Shanben Liang's waist. Shanben Liang screamed in agony, collapsing to the ground, clasping his waist, and looking at Jiang Chen with a pale face.

In an instant—

The entire martial arts hall fell into dead silence!

Everyone was stunned as they looked at the fallen Shanben Liang and the proudly standing Jiang Chen.

My god, just one finger had defeated the showy fellow from just moments ago?

This is too impressive!

And Xu Zhiyan's cheers were still stuck in his throat as his mouth hung open, completely dumbfounded.

Even his master Shanben was so easily defeated before Jiang Chen!

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at Shanben Liang indifferently and spoke calmly, "I told you, one finger is all it takes to kill you, no need for a second!"

The voice wasn't loud, yet it reverberated through the entire hall.

Suddenly, the entire martial arts hall was abuzz!

"My god! Is Jiang Chen really that powerful?"

"It's true, just one finger was enough!"

"Incredible, this... could it really have been him advising the headmaster earlier?"

"It's possible, did you not see the headmaster's strength seemed like it changed into someone else before and after?"

The students in the martial arts hall were excited, exclaiming loudly, their eyes filled with shock as they looked at Jiang Chen!

Lu Jingming's heart also quivered fiercely. He had already thought Jiang Chen was incredibly powerful, but he never imagined Jiang Chen could really defeat Shanben Liang with one finger, especially under the circumstance of a sneak attack. This made Lu Jingming's admiration for Jiang Chen grow immensely.

"Damn it! What crappy fighting techniques, I'm not practicing them anymore!"

A member of the fighting club cursed under his breath, immediately stripping off his fighting club uniform, glanced at Jiang Chen, then strode toward Lu Jingming and said loudly, "Headmaster Lu, I apologize for my earlier shouting and rudeness. I would like to learn Flame Dragon Martial Arts; would you allow me to join your martial arts hall?"

Ssshhh!

Rustle rustle!

A series of tearing noises and the sound of hurried footsteps arose, as many fighting technique students took off their uniforms, with some even ripping their clothes apart, then they all ran toward Lu Jingming, first apologizing, and then asking to join Jingming Martial Arts Hall.

"Of course, we welcome you all. Don't rush, let's go over there to register," Lu Jingming said with a smile, directing them to the front desk of the martial arts hall.

"How, how can you do this?" Xu Zhiyan stood on the side, stunned, wanting to intervene.

But no one paid any more attention to him. The students of the combat class all scattered away from him, running towards the front desk. The cashier at the martial arts school saw this and, not wanting to miss out on the excitement, hurried back to his post.

Xu Zhiyan was dumbfounded and could only rush to Shanbe Liang's side to help him up, and the two fled from the martial arts school in a pitiful state.

…

After the incident at the martial arts school was over, Lu Jingming personally escorted Jiang Chen out.

Watching Lu Jingming go back, Jiang Chen didn't return to school. Instead, he took a shortcut towards where he had parked.

"Jiang Chen!" Lin Zhiyan called out, catching up to him. She had long admired and looked up to Jiang Chen. Moreover, each time she saw him, she would discover more of his strengths and qualities.

But Jiang Chen had always been indifferent to her, which upset her deeply. That was why she kept making excuses to trouble him.

"Why won't you protect me? What's so great about you? You're just a bit good at medicine and martial arts, don't think everyone relies on you. Even without you, Yuan Star will still revolve!" Lin Zhiyan glared at Jiang Chen defiantly.

Jiang Chen glanced at Lin Zhiyan and, ignoring her, quickened his pace.

"Hey! I'm talking to you!" Lin Zhiyan hurriedly followed, looking at him with a dissatisfied face.

At that moment, they had arrived at a deserted place.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a figure leaped in front of the two, startling them as they looked up.

The person standing in front of them was a man in a black, tight-fitting outfit, holding a slender Eastern Blade in his hand.

Jiang Chen pulled Lin Zhiyan behind him and squinted his eyes, watching the man coldly.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

A second, a third... in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen men in black appeared before them, each holding an Eastern Blade!

After everyone showed up, the group of men in black didn't say a word and directly charged at Jiang Chen and Lin Zhiyan.

"Get back!" Jiang Chen's expression changed slightly, and he pushed Lin Zhiyan behind him before rushing towards the group of men.

Shwoosh shwoosh shwoosh!

The flash of blades shone as more than a dozen men in black madly slashed at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's brows furrowed slightly. He hadn't brought a blade, and these men were not ordinary fighters, coordinating with tacit understanding. Especially, the Eastern Blades in their hands were exceptionally sharp, making a sweep of blades that left virtually no dead angles.

In a moment, Jiang Chen felt as if he had plunged into a sea of blades.

Jiang Chen began to feel a bit of strain, and more importantly, these men didn't care about Lin Zhiyan behind him. They were targeting only himself, which meant that their target was not Lin Zhiyan, but him!

Shick shick!

In the haste of defense, the sound of blades cutting flesh rang out, and Jiang Chen ended up with several knife wounds on his body.

Lin Zhiyan's complexion changed. She had never seen Jiang Chen at a disadvantage in a fight before. Panic-stricken and worried, she forgot to call for help or run back to the martial arts school to get someone. She could only stare at Jiang Chen, fighting bravely.

At that moment, a faint trace of bloodlust flashed over Jiang Chen, and the sight of blood stirred the power of his cultivation technique. A tinge of blood surfaced in his eyes, and his expression suddenly became fierce.

Whoosh!

Thump thump thump!

A bloody light flashed under Jiang Chen's feet as he suddenly accelerated and violently kicked three men in black away.

"Swish—" A blade arc slashed towards him, but Jiang Chen didn't dodge. Instead, he grabbed the blade with his hand, pulled forward, and the man holding the blade involuntary stumbled towards him.

Bang!

A cold, bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes as Jiang Chen delivered a heavy punch to the man's head.
