Chapter 392: Arrogant
Tianxu looked over, beaming with joy . He laid his eyes on Jiang Chen, full of arrogance .
He was still in the initial phase of the Reaching Heaven State, but passing the test of the Heaven-grade class meant he had had some achievements in martial arts techniques .
"Ouyang Na, how many fiancés have you had? I suppose it's you who paid your fiancé's entry fee, wasn't it?"
Gao Tian'ai was a little nervous . Tianxu's excellence was obvious, but at the thought of her cousin, she didn't take it seriously .
"It's called investment, okay? Better than someone who doesn't even have a chance to pay the entry fee . "
Ouyang Na and Gao Tian'ai had held a grudge against each other for many years . She was quick to argue .
"Miss Gao, you really don't have good judgement of people . "
Tianxu wasn't happy, but he didn't dare vent his anger at Gao Tian'ai, so he started to attack Jiang Chen .
"What do you think my judgement should be like?" Gao Tian'ai found it funny .
"Well, the Gaos are so honorable that the person who deserves Miss Gao's love should at least be a talented man ranked on List A of the Dragon Rise List . "
Tianxu thought seriously for a while and said, "Take Jiang Chen, who has been doing a lot recently, for example . He killed Liu Shayang ruthlessly at the Wind Moon City and defeated Mo Jianfei with one sword attack . You deserve a person like that . "
It seemed he really admired Jiang Chen .
Gao Tian'ai held onto Jiang Chen's arm with more force, trying very hard to keep a straight face .
"Tianxu, you think too highly of her . If she weren't a young lady of the Gaos, Jiang Chen would really be too good for her!" said Ouyang Na .
"What do you have except being a young lady of the Ouyangs?"
"At least I have better judgement than you . "
Ouyang Na kept attacking her with the same argument, but Gao Tian'ai didn't care at all .
"Be quiet . "
The girls' quarrel created some noise . Many people looked over, until the staff in charge finally asked them to restrain themselves .
They could see Ouyang Na and Gao Tian'ai weren't average people, so there was no real rebuke in their tones .
"Senior, I'm sorry . "
Ouyang Na acted like a new person . She said, "I couldn't help but argue with my friend because he didn't think the test of the martial arts workshop was difficult enough . "
This caused a great stir in the room .
Gao Tian'ai was irritated . She said loudly, "That's nonsense . Ouyang Na, you're going too far!"
"It's him . When I came, I heard him saying that he had come here for the reputation, but he wasn't so sure about the martial arts workshop . "
"Yeah? Huh, how arrogant . The greatness of the martial arts workshop is publicly recognized . Who the hell is he to question it?"
"Only a Cloud-Three Reaching Heaven State . How dare he talk so big?"
To Ouyang Na's surprise, her framing worked very well .
It turned out someone had recalled Jiang Chen's big talk, so no one doubted Ouyang Na's charges against him .
The staff there stared at Jiang Chen .
"I didn't say that," Jiang Chen explained, not because he felt pushed by the situation, but because it was the truth .
"Are you a coward now? You had the nerve to say it but don't have the nerve to own up to it?"
"How great you are . "
"Why would a young lady from the Gaos like such a guy?"
But no one wanted to let him go . The last comment explained why they were so mean .
Because of jealousy!
They had been jealous of Jiang Chen since the beginning . Gao Tian'ai had not only come from a great background, but also had a pretty face . She was still young, but had a well-shaped body .
She was holding Jiang Chen's arm and they looked so close . That was why Jiang Chen had become the envy of the others .
"Are you here to register?" a staff member of the martial arts workshop asked Jiang Chen .
"Yep," Jiang Chen said and nodded .
"Come . "
The staff let him jump in line, and the others didn't have any problem with that, since they were all eager to see what he had .
Ouyang Na grinned at Gao Tian'ai and thought to herself, Not my problem .
Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders . Under countless gazes, he came to the center .
"What's your martial arts technique?"
The man who had called Jiang Chen over was middle-aged and very thin . His square face looked very serious . He was staring at Jiang Chen with his slim eyes .
"Sword," Jiang Chen gave him an unsurprising answer .
Sword was always the most popular .
"To join the heaven-grade class, you should be able to manipulate the creation of nature and martial arts techniques at will . Next, we'll attack each other only using martial arts techniques . You'll pass if you can last ten seconds," he said .
The staff turned out to be the testing tools .
"Ten seconds?"
Jiang Chen was surprised . He hadn't expected it to be so short . He nodded to show he had no problem with it .
"Or you attack and he defends . You should crack his defense in ten seconds," another staff member standing beside him said . He was smiling and looked like he had a strong interest in the situation .
"Xiuru, don't make trouble," the middle-aged man said, staring at him .
"This youngster has doubts about our martial arts workshop . I suppose he must be great . We should give him the chance to show his stuff," the man called Xiuru said with a smile .
The middle-aged man frowned, but the other people in the room all nodded . They thought it was fair .
"What do you think?" the middle-aged man asked Jiang Chen .
"Whatever," Jiang Chen said indifferently .
His reply was normal to him, but arrogant to others .
They couldn't wait to see Jiang Chen embarrass himself and leave like a fool .
He would have had a chance to pass if he had chosen to hold on for ten seconds . After all, to come to this house, he must have had at least some skills . But it would be much more difficult to crack the middle-aged man's defense in ten seconds .
It was easy to defend a city and difficult to attack a city . This test followed the same principles .
"All right . Bring it on . "
Seeing him so confident, the middle-aged man's curiosity was piqued . A sword suddenly appeared in his hand .
Since they wouldn't use the power of state, the small space was enough for them .
"Please," Jiang Chen nodded slightly, holding the Red Cloud Sword in his left hand .
"Oh?"
Seeing him behave like this, the staff suddenly realized Jiang Chen wasn't actually that arrogant, but used to being seen with awe and eagerness .
However, in others' eyes, Jiang Chen's politeness was only a front .
"That sword?"
Tianxu accidentally laid his eyes on the Red Cloud Sword and was struck dumb .
"What's wrong?" Ouyang Na asked curiously .
"Nothing . "
Tianxu's expression kept changing . Jiang Chen was his idol, so of course, he knew about his idol's sword .
The sword before him fit the description, but he wasn't sure, since he had never seen it with his own eyes .
"Here he comes . "
Jiang Chen only had ten seconds, not a second more . At the beginning, a small hourglass reversed automatically, and the sand was falling rapidly .
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Chen didn't move . He wasn't in a hurry at all .
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
He kept standing there . He didn't even hold his Red Cloud Sword up . Only his black eyes looked any different from usual .
