The Brilliant Fighting Master Chapter 325

After installing the weapons on the war s.h.i.+p, Jiang Chen was headed back to the Fire Field.

Before he left, he went to the Sacred Wind Chamber of Commerce under his real ident.i.ty and easily bought star gra.s.s, rootless water, ghost head mushroom, and nine star ice crystal.

These four spiritual herbs were collected in such a short time thanks to the Golden Dragon Card Jiang Chen had.

Although he had given the card back to the Hero Palace, the chamber of commerce didn’t know that yet. Besides, he had paid them in advance, so the whole process was very smooth.

Even if anything unexpected happened, Jiang Chen still had Master Chu Yun’s Golden Dragon Card.

“Mother, the promise I made to you… I kept it!”

Jiang Chen put the spiritual herbs into the mustardseed ring. He was so excited that it took him a long time to calm down.

A few days later, he refined the antidote successfully.

By then, the vacation of the short-term disciples of the Sacred Inst.i.tute had already started. They had returned to their respective hometowns, eager to tell their families and friends about what they had achieved during the past six months.

Crimson Moon had also left by machine-operated bird with the other four from the Fire Field.

Jiang Chen bade the Hero Palace farewell and left in his wars.h.i.+p.

To his surprise, as soon as the wars.h.i.+p had made it out of the Hero Palace, Ying Wushuang appeared on the s.h.i.+p. She had come to say goodbye to him.

She hadn’t seen him since she had run into him and the woman called Crimson Moon last time, but she had learned that both Jiang Chen and Crimson Moon were from the Fire Field, so what she had a.s.sumed wasn’t necessarily true.

Jiang Chen might not actually be a playboy. He and Crimson Moon could have been a normal couple, so Ying Wushuang realized she had no reason to be angry with him.

She knew Jiang Chen was leaving that day, so she had come to bid him farewell. After all, they were friends.

“I said terrible things to you last time. I’m sorry.”

She behaved very naturally and explained the misunderstanding clearly. She said, “There are many playboys from big families in the Sacred Inst.i.tute. There are also many talented female disciples with no backgrounds.

“Especially the short-term female disciples of this year, they wanted to get a leg up. They wanted to stay in the Dragon Field, so it was easy for those playboys to cheat them, but in the end, what they’d been expecting didn’t happen. What’s more, they lost their virginities.”

Jiang Chen’s puzzle was solved. He smiled, “So you thought I was one of those playboys?”

“Yeah. But I learned later on that you two have known each other since long ago. You’re from the same place, so—”

“We’re not a couple.” Jiang Chen interrupted her and said, “It doesn’t matter what others think about me, but if there is another person involved, I think I’d better explain it clearly.”

“So?”

Ying Wushuang looked confused. How could he explain what she had seen?

Jiang Chen couldn’t tell her anymore details, since he had made a deal with Crimson Moon. He just kept looking at her quietly.

“All right.”

Ying Wushuang was more confused when she realized he didn’t want to explain, but she could do nothing about it. She said, “Have a safe trip then.”

“Thanks.”

Then Ying Wushuang left. She watched the wars.h.i.+p leaving at a speed beyond her imagination.

“He doesn’t want to tell me what was going on, but why did he say they weren’t a couple? Is he playing with my emotions?” Ying Wushuang murmured. She pouted her red lips involuntarily. She looked angry. No one would believe what they were seeing if they saw her.

When Ying Wushuang was seeing Jiang Chen off, the machine-operated bird that Crimson Moon and the others were taking had arrived at the border between the Dragon Field and the Fire Field.

Six months had pa.s.sed. Crimson Moon, Yi Shuihan, Shen Huan, Lu Fei, and Li Hengjing had progressed a lot. Except for Crimson Moon, the other four had all started to develop their extraordinary meridians.

It wasn’t as common to develop extraordinary meridians in the Fire Field as in the Hero Palace. Only a few talented people could manage to hold down their states. Their schools and sects or families would then train them secretly.

It wasn’t difficult to imagine how shocked people in the Fire Field would be when they learned about their achievements.

That was why the other four didn’t understand the reason why Princess Crimson Moon had broken through to the Reaching Heaven State directly.

She had caused a stir in the Sacred Inst.i.tute on the day she had broken through, although it wasn’t as big as the one Jiang Chen had caused.

However, it was weird that the Sacred Inst.i.tute hadn’t treated her differently; she was treated the same way.

They were curious, but due to Princess Crimson Moon’s ident.i.ty, they didn’t dare ask her.

The machine-operated bird flying at high speeds suddenly shook violently. The five people almost fell, not prepared for the movement.

They managed to maintain their balance, then found the machine-operated bird had flown into a shapeless giant net and was flying more and more slowly, until they stopped completely.

The machine-operated bird was still running, but the engine body was smoking.

Crimson Moon reacted quickly. She stopped the machine-operated bird so that it wouldn’t explode.

Then the five sensed they’d been shrouded by a strong holy awareness.

“Jiang Chen isn’t with you?” a low voice sounded. The anger in the voice was obvious.

The five looked up and saw a large figure landing.

They found the figure familiar at first. Then they recalled he was, or to be precise, he had been a grand elder of the Natural Law School, Yuan Hong.

Due to Jiang Chen, he had been expelled from the school during the compet.i.tion held by the Sacred Inst.i.tute.

He had stopped them aggressively and violently. There was killing intent in his eyes. It was obvious he had come to take revenge.

Crimson Moon and the other four became even more certain when they saw his appearance.

Compared to his looks when he had been a grand elder, he looked downright shabby at that moment. Although nothing except the clothes had been changed, he looked like a different person.

“Let me ask you again. Is Jiang Chen with you?” Yuan Hong said again. He looked like he was full of hatred.

“Senior, Jiang Chen joined the Hero Palace. He didn’t come back with us,” said Yi Shuihan.

“Hero Palace? Huh!”

Yuan Hong was surprised, then he became even angrier. He had been expelled from the Natural Law School, but Jiang Chen’s future had become brighter instead. He had even joined the Hero Palace. Of course he would get angry.

“Go.”

Yuan Hong didn’t intend to cause them trouble. As he waved his hand, the obstruction in front of the machine-operated bird disappeared.

He left them behind and flew towards the Dragon Field. Soon, he was out of their sight.

“What should we do? It’s obvious he’s going to kill Jiang Chen.”

“We’re at the border. It’ll be difficult for both the Natural Law School and the Hero Palace to come to our rescue.”

“Jiang Chen will definitely take this route. With Yuan Hong’s ability, even a bird won’t be able to escape from him.”

The five looked at each other. They didn’t know what to do.

They weren’t Jiang Chen’s friends. On their way to the Sacred Inst.i.tute, Jiang Chen had caused a big stir, so they had been trying to keep their distance from him.

Not until Jiang Chen had won some recognition did they realize they had missed their best chance to be friends with him.

Although they weren’t friends, they thought highly of him. Jiang Chen was also the pride of the whole Fire Field.

“We have the machine-operated bird. It’s fast enough to notify both sides.”

“Yeah. Yuan Hong went that way, so we can’t go back to the Sacred Inst.i.tute. Let’s head for the Natural Law School first.”

The four men made the decision quickly, but they were petrified when they looked towards Crimson Moon.

She was the one in control of the machine-operated bird, since she was the princess.

She was Ning Haotian’s fiancée, and Yuan Hong was Ning Haotian’s master.

What would Crimson Moon choose?

“We’re not going to the Natural Law School,” Crimson Moon said coldly.
