Chapter 37 The Sect Leader Arrived, But That Won’t Do

If it were anyone else, Jiang Mingtao would not be so angry, but Fang Chen had already displayed his talent this morning. His memory, aptitude, and comprehension were all top-notch.

It was precisely because of this that Jiang Mingtao had high hopes for Fang Chen. However, when he saw Fang Chen learning sword techniques so carelessly, he was frustrated!

At this moment, the others present felt that Fang Chen had unintentionally angered Instructor Jiang. They were all wondering how Fang Chen would overcome this crisis.

“Instructor Jiang, what I mean is that I’ve completely comprehended the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique. I can already try using it in actual combat.”

Fang Chen could feel Jiang Mingtao’s anger, but he did not know that it was directed at him.

When Jiang Mingtao heard this, his face seemed to be covered in a layer of frost. He felt that Fang Chen was simply too arrogant.

This was because combat was a real battle. If anything went wrong, his life would be in danger.

However, it was absolutely impossible for one to be born with combat talent, let alone with a sword technique that one had only seen once. It was simply ridiculous.

“Alright, Fang Chen, do you have to say that? Alright, come on stage now. Lin Xiaoyu, spar with Fang Chen with the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique. Remember, you only need to use the strength of an eighth-grade martial artist like Fang Chen.”

Jiang Mingtao’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He felt that he had to teach Fang Chen a lesson.

Jiang Mingtao knew Lin Xiaoyu’s ability very well. This was also the reason why he chose Lin Xiaoyu as his teaching assistant.

Lin Xiaoyu clearly knew Jiang Mingtao’s intentions. She hesitated for a moment before walking to the front desk with her sword.

Fang Chen did not think too much about it and walked up with his sword.

Lin Xiaoyu thought that she would use Jiang Mingtao’s words to warn Fang Chen later, so she wanted to remind him to be careful.

But before she could speak, Fang Chen reminded her, “Senior Lin, I am too gifted. I’ve already mastered the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique. I’m afraid you’re not my match, so if you can’t defeat me, don’t restrict your realm. If you really can’t, just admit defeat. Don’t worry, I won’t laugh at you,” Fang Chen said sincerely.

“Wow, the boss is the boss. I can’t learn this temperament at all. But isn’t he a little too pretentious? Although I think he managed to comprehend most of the technique, it’s unlikely that he will use it directly against the enemy, right?” Wang Jianan looked at Fang Chen with admiration and some doubt. After all, he had learned sword techniques before, and in addition to being taught thousands of times, he had to constantly face enemies to unleash the power of the sword techniques.

Wang Jianan believed that no one could compare to Fang Chen, but it might not be the case if he fought.

The other disciples had the same thought. At the same time, Jiang Mingtao had the urge to slash Fang Chen with his sword.

He felt that Fang Chen was so arrogant that he forgot who he was.

“Lin Xiaoyu, don’t talk too much. Let’s start. Remember, you have to give it your all this time and beat down Fang Chen’s arrogance. If we don’t embarrass him today, he will lose his life if he encounters enemies in the future,” Jiang Mingtao ordered Lin Xiaoyu.

Lin Xiaoyu nodded and quickly said to Fang Chen, “Fang Chen, I’m doing this for your own good. Here comes the sword…”

As she spoke, Lin Xiaoyu stabbed her sword at Fang Chen.

The sword was like a drifting cloud, drawing a strange trajectory and stabbing at one of Fang Chen’s ears.

This move was not the first move of the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, but a tricky variation of the twelfth move.

“Lin Xiaoyu is really not bad. Her understanding of the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique is no longer inferior to mine. If I use the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique against her in the same realm, the outcome will be 50-50.”

Jiang Mingtao nodded in approval of Lin Xiaoyu’s Flowing Cloud Sword Technique.

However, in the next moment, Jiang Mingtao was dumbfounded.

If Lin Xiaoyu’s sword was a drifting cloud, then Fang Chen’s sword was a flowing cloud. One was alone and could be seen at a glance, but the other was hidden in the clouds, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Jiang Mingtao clearly knew that Fang Chen was using the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, but Fang Chen had clearly already attacked. Before the sword landed, Jiang Mingtao could not tell which move he was using

However, Jiang Mingtao also knew that Lin Xiaoyu had already lost. This was because Fang Chen could see through the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique at a glance.

Naturally, Jiang Mingtao knew that he was no match for Fang Chen.

“Is this guy still human?”

This time, Jiang Mingtao had misunderstood Fang Chen, but his anger did not decrease at all.

Of course, the difference was that the previous anger was directed at Fang Chen, but the current anger was directed at the heavens.

Ding…

Without any suspense, Lin Xiaoyu was defeated.

Looking at the stunned Lin Xiaoyu, Fang Chen comforted her. “Senior Lin, don’t think that you’re too weak. Theproblem is that I’m too strong. I can tell you bluntly that no one in the same realm as me is a match for this Flowing Cloud Sword Technique. If you can’t do it, neither can Instructor Jiang. Even if the Sect Master comes, he won’t be able to do it either.”

Silence!

The entire Teaching Hall was silent!

Fang Chen’s words were like the most unorthodox provocation, but at this moment, even Jiang Mingtao, who was called out, felt that he could not refute.

This was because he had just seen Fang Chen land his sword without using a single move. He had only used one of the nine major variations of the first move to defeat Lin Xiaoyu.

This kind of usage of sword moves could be said to be miraculous. At least in Jiang Mingtao’s lifetime, he had never seen anyone who could use the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique so cleverly.

Of course, all of this was even more terrifying if Fang Chen had only truly come into contact with the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique for the first time.

“Senior Lin, do you still want to continue? If you want, I can accompany you to practice…”

Fang Chen truly felt that Lin Xiaoyu’s swordsmanship still had a lot of room for improvement. After all, compared to him, the difference was simply too great.

Only then did Lin Xiaoyu react from her defeat.

She was clearly the sparring partner, but now he wanted her to train more. Just now, he was filled with confidence to make Fang Chen suffer, but now, he was actually not a match for one move. It was simply too embarrassing.

He quickly shook his head and said, “No… no, I’m afraid I won’t be able to help but go crazy with you.”

Indeed, Fang Chen’s existence was like a nightmare to others. If they did not give up and insisted on fighting him, they would only be the ones to be hurt in the end.

After saying that, Lin Xiaoyu sheathed her sword and returned to her seat. It was impossible for her to fight with Fang Chen again.

“Instructor Jiang, why don’t you try my sword technique yourself? I saw you demonstrating the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique just now. There seem to be a few problems. Let’s spar?”.

Fang Chen let go of Lin Xiaoyu, but he still wanted to try again.

However, Jiang Mingtao was unwilling to agree. After all, he did not want to be used as a stepping stone by Fang Chen and be trampled on in front of so many disciples.
