Regarding Zhou Qiang's opportunity to cultivate the profound level cultivation technique, Zhang Jian had always kept it in mind.
In Cyan Profound Mansion, there are not many profound level cultivation techniques. With his status and cultivation, he is currently not qualified to practice them, naturally feeling some jealousy towards Zhou Qiang.
But seeing Zhou Qiang's sincere attitude, Zhang Jian felt satisfied and was just about to make a modest remark when Zhou Qiang suddenly changed his tone.
Just then, Zhou Qiang turned his body and looked towards Chu Nan and the others, speaking with an extremely insidious tone: "I heard that Cyan Mountain Sword Sect's Jiang Yixing reached the Spirit Pill Realm and comprehended Martial Intent. I wonder if this rumor is true?"
For a moment, everyone's gaze uniformly turned towards the direction of Chu Nan and his group.
Zheng Yao felt extremely uncomfortable under all these gazes.
Zhang Jian also furrowed his brows slightly. He had heard a little about Jiang Yixing's comprehension of Martial Intent but didn't take it seriously.
He just thought it was Cyan Mountain Sword Sect's exaggeration; after all, how could there be a martial artist more talented than himself in Qingxuan Province?
On either side of Zhang Jian, Chu Jiang and Han Song, who highlighted his status, also furrowed their brows slightly. There shouldn't be a martial artist more gifted than Zhang Jian in Cyan Profound Mansion!
Zhu Gangyi at this time sneered and said: "Zhou Qiang, are you drunk, really thinking rumors are truth?"
"Cyan Mountain Sword Sect is located on the edge of Celestial Crossing Realm, practically barren compared to Cyan Profound Mansion."
"A place like that can have a genius who comprehended Martial Intent at the Spirit Pill Realm? Truly laughable~"
The ridicule in Zhu Gangyi's tone was undisguised, and with the disciples of Cyan Mountain Sword Sect present, his words clearly showed he didn't take Cyan Mountain Sword Sect seriously.
Yet Zhou Qiang retorted: "Senior Brother Zhu, your words are incorrect. The matter of Jiang Yixing comprehending Martial Intent is still quite well spread within their sect, perhaps it is true?"
Zhang Jian's smile slowly receded; he did not want someone to steal his limelight today.
So he looked towards Chu Nan and the others, asking Jiang Yixing: "Junior Brother, I heard you've comprehended Martial Intent and are the strongest disciple in Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, is this true?"
Whether it is or not, it is best to directly ask the person concerned.
Jiang Yixing pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "That statement is incorrect~"
As soon as he spoke, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Jiang Yixing denied it; thus, Zhang Jian remained the most talented disciple.
Zhao Qingwu from Qingyu Sect also said at this time: "I told you, how could a small Cyan Mountain Sword Sect have a genius who comprehended Martial Intent."
"In my view, Jiang Yixing and the others are just petty; how could they compare with the senior brother."
Weak and insignificant Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, naturally no one stands on their side, all ridiculing and mocking accordingly.
But just then, Jiang Yixing stared at the group and suddenly said: "I haven't finished my words yet."
For a moment, everyone quieted down, eager to see what Jiang Yixing intended to do.
"When I said that statement is incorrect, I meant not that I hadn't comprehended Martial Intent but rather that I am not the strongest disciple of Cyan Mountain Sword Sect." Jiang Yixing looked towards Chu Nan and said.
"My junior brother Chu Nan, with cultivation at the ninth level of Spirit Pill Realm, like me has comprehended Martial Intent, he is truly the strongest in Cyan Mountain Sword Sect!"
Swish, swish, swish~
All eyes suddenly turned towards Chu Nan, and at this moment, they finally noticed this youth who seemed much younger than them.
Prior, this quiet youth was assumed just filler sent by Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, but unexpectedly, he was the primary contestant martial artist from Cyan Mountain Sword Sect.
But shortly, a furious shout arose from the crowd: "Nonsense!"
Zhu Gangyi from Overlord Body Sect pointed angrily at Jiang Yixing and said: "Small Cyan Mountain Sword Sect sees only limited worlds, boasting about having one disciple who comprehended Martial Intent was already enough, and now they claim another. Do you take us for fools?"
Chu Jiang looked at Chu Nan, furrowing his brow slightly. He had long heard rumors of Chu Han's death but assumed it was Chen Kaiyang secretly acting to allow Chu Nan to succeed.
He naturally looked down upon Chu Nan's actual strength, but upon hearing Jiang Yixing's words, he couldn't help feeling a bit uneasy.
Zhang Jian's face turned grim; Jiang Yixing's words were a slap in his face.
With rage, Zhao Qingwu said directly: "If you've truly comprehended Martial Intent, then show it. If you're afraid, it means Cyan Mountain Sword Sect is just boasting."
"Wretched liars like you do not deserve to attend the Cyan Profound Banquet."
Their words were insults not only towards Chu Nan and the others but also humiliating Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, and Chu Nan, however good-tempered, could not tolerate it.
Thus, he glared at this group and coldly said: "You bunch of sycophantic spineless dogs are unworthy of us brothers using Martial Intent."
Humiliation, blatant humiliation!
Zhang Jian's complexion instantly became exceedingly unpleasant; Chu Jiang stared intensely at Chu Nan, stating: "Chu Nan, how dare you, quickly apologize to these senior brothers, or I will punish you by family law!"
He then explained to Zhang Jian: "Senior Brother, this Chu Nan is actually a cousin, though he acts furtively and isn't fit for notable company."
"Today's antics are indeed him being careless with his words, I will immediately discipline him!"
Everyone was somewhat surprised, not expecting Chu Nan to have ties with Chu Jiang.
"Chu Nan, didn't you hear me? Come over quickly to kneel and apologize, or do you truly want me to punish you by family law?" Chu Jiang pointed at Chu Nan, angrily scolding him mercilessly.
In an instant, all the spears were pointed at Chu Nan, at the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect!
Faced with Chu Jiang's accusations, Chu Nan merely chuckled coldly and mockingly: "Family law? As long as I, Chu Nan, wish, the Chu family can instantly turn to ruins, and yet you, Chu Jiang, dare threaten me with family law. What a joke!"
Presumptuous!
Although most people had just met Chu Nan, unanimously they felt he was extremely arrogant.
Chu Jiang's face was ashen, taking a step forward: "Chu Nan, since you seek death by yourself, do not blame me for ignoring brotherly ties."
Chu Nan shook his head silently, brotherly ties?
Is there brotherly ties within the Chu family?
Just as Chu Jiang was preparing to act, Zhu Gangyi from Overlord Body Sect blocked him, saying: "To handle a small Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, no need for senior brother to intervene, allow me, Zhu Gangyi, to take care of it, for Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Brother Chu, punishing this boastful fool!"
Chu Jiang halted his steps, Zhang Jian nodded saying: "Just a spar, do not cause harm or we'll be accused."
"Rest assured, Senior Brother Zhang, leave it to me!" Zhu Gangyi grinned sinisterly, slowly walking towards Chu Nan and said, "Chu Nan, you frog in a well, dare accept my challenge?"
Jiang Yixing looked at Chu Nan, who slowly rose, gazing at Zhu Gangyi with no fear: "Why wouldn't I dare?"
"But it's a pity, these fists of mine have to strike you sycophantic lackey, truly disgraceful."
Treating foes, Chu Nan never shows leniency.
And Chu Nan's disdain towards Zhu Gangyi enraged the latter, his eyes widened with hatred as he spat, "I've decided, to beat you to the point you cannot participate in tomorrow's Cyan Profound competition!"
