Sovereign of the Three Realms - Chapter 1882

Chapter 1882: 1882

Jiang Chen’s consciousness began to run at maximum capacity . He rifled through the contents of his mind in search of a good method .

“Hmm? This spear method is pretty good . ”

One rose to the top of his perception . Named the Searing Sundrake Spear, it was a technique that emphasized sweeping strikes and dominance over the battlefield .

Jiang Chen had studied it carefully in his previous life . The original master of the method had used it to sweep aside his competition on a material plane . Even in the heavenly planes, he had relied on it to make his name known far and wide .

The technique had been valuable enough for his father to place it in a great library in the heavenly planes . That alone showed what kind of power it held, and how extraordinary it was .

Most importantly, the spear technique’s original master had also been a descendant of the dragons, with the bloodline to match it . That meant that it was extremely compatible with Jiang Chen’s current status .

His dragon blood would serve to amplify the effects of the technique, allowing it to unleash energies tenfold that of someone without this quality . The technique itself was remarkable, but a dragon bloodline boosted its potency significantly .

Jiang Chen had only a hundred hours remaining . But he felt little stress about that fact . He had studied this martial technique many a time in his previous life .

Others might need time to study the finer points of a technique, but for him, it was easier than breathing . He had small issues here and there, but nothing actually tough to overcome .

Any small bottleneck was completely pushed through by his powerful consciousness, fueling an incredible comprehension . His grasp over the Searing Sundrake Spear deepened more and more .

Mad Fiend didn’t think much of Jiang Chen’s efforts, but kept his promise not to disturb the youth nevertheless .

In time, the hundred and twenty hours were finally up .

The old man chuckled as he faced down the young man walking out . “You’re punctual, kid, but are you sure a hundred twenty hours were enough? If not, I can give you a couple extra days . ”

Jiang Chen grinned . “That’s alright . I didn’t actually need that much time, so I used the remaining time to meditate a little . Why would learning a martial technique need a hundred twenty hours?”

Mad Fiend became blue in the face . He had seen many braggarts before, but none with so much bluster as this young man . Learning a martial technique in less than five days?

“Hmph . You’re young, but already an irresponsible talker . It looks like you’re not the best candidate for inheriting the Six Palaces’ heritage . ” Mad Fiend’s expression darkened .

“Why do you say that?” Jiang Chen smiled coolly .

“Isn’t it obvious? Your flippant attitude is enough to tell . ”

“Am I flippant?” the young man smiled wryly . “Can’t you accept when someone’s telling the truth, senior? Have you been bottled up so long that your heart has become smaller than a grain of sand?”

“You should know the limits of your sharp tongue, kid . Fine, fine, fine . Let’s see what you’ve learned in these five days!”

Jiang Chen shook his forearms, conjuring a chain of strange runes that appeared upon the True Spirit Pen’s surface like electricity . They glowed eerily in an unorthodox manner that was worthy of being wary of .

Mad Fiend eyed his opponent, putting away some of his prejudice for the fight ahead . Perhaps the young man before him wasn’t so flippant after all . An expert knew his field well enough to recognize skill from others . This young man’s very aura was noteworthy .

Mad Fiend was instantly fired up . He grinned toothily, brandishing his cane . “Are you ready now? Here I come!”

He raised his cane high overhead, then brought down a storm of radiance upon Jiang Chen .

The fourth protector was a madman indeed . He fought with a feverish fervor that imbued the strength of ten mountains into the swing .

Jiang Chen roared, his own blood heating up . His fighting spirit was roused by the power of his opponent’s attack . The dragon blood in his veins roiled, creating a draconic resonance in the air .

His True Spirit Post darted forward like a bolt of piercing lightning, threatening to penetrate heaven and earth itself . His bloodline fueled the energies of his spear technique, producing a heat wave that burned with the brilliance of a hundred suns .

Clang!

The two legendary weapons collided against each other in the air, sending a number of terrifying shockwaves outwards .

The light of the cane and the draconic energies of the spear intermixed with each other in glorious spectacle . The sky became blindingly bright .

“Well fought . Again!”

Mad Fiend felt quite stimulated by the frontal clash . His desire to fight that’d been repressed since ancient times suddenly exploded .

He brought his cane forward for a reprise .

Jiang Chen respected the attack as much as he could . His True Spirit Pen flourished like a golden dragon, blocking and parrying the cane at every opportunity .

Sometimes, he found windows of counterattack . Every return thrust he made took perfect advantage of timing, interrupting Mad Fiend’s offensive rhythm .

The young man knew that the Searing Sundrake Spear he’d studied so briefly couldn’t possibly match Mad Fiend’s fighting experience . However, the old man’s cane and techniques were of a lower level . The Searing Sundrake Spear was truly one-of-a-kind in the material planes .

Thirty to fifty percent of its actual strength was sufficient to counter Mad Fiend’s familiarity with his treasure and method .

Both combatants had their advantages and disadvantages . The fight was once again at a standstill .

Jiang Chen was unsurprised by this, but Mad Fiend was greatly taken aback .

His opponent had learned his technique practically overnight! Furthermore, this was a green kid he was dealing with . If the best he could manage was a tie, what was his age and experience good for?

The eccentric old man had some slight doubts about the impromptu nature of the study, but ceded the point in the end . When Jiang Chen had taken out the True Spirit Post for the first time, he really hadn’t refined it yet .
