The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 30

The next day, Princess Gouyu personally visited Jiang Han's palace with an imperial call and a large amount of gifts to praise Jiang's father and son.    

Reason given: father and son Jiang has achieved achievements in helping to fight Princess Zhiruo's illness.    

The reason is still unclear. Other than a few well-informed witnesses, no one knew how Jiang's father and son could help Princess Zhiruo's illness.    

However those who attended the banquet in Soaring Dragon had learned that Princess Zhiruo had spoken and laughed gently and her appearance looked healthier. This was much different from his previous illness.    

Could it be that Jiang's father and son had actually achieved something with regards to Princess Zhiruo's illness?    

Rumors spread wildly as the outside world speculated.    

One thing is for sure, Jiang's father and son are destined to become famous figures who are in the spotlight of the capital in the near future.    

As for the protagonist of the matter, Jiang Chen, he had never cared about the reactions from the outside world. What he cared more about was increasing his own strength.    

As time went on, the deadline for the end-of-month exam was getting closer.    

Jiang Chen had no reason to panic. The content of the three basic exams was an easy matter for him now.    

Three days passed very quickly.    

In these three days, Jiang Chen was committed to strengthening his fifth meridian. After three days of forging, the toughness of his fifth meridian was basically the same as the previous four meridians.    

This way, the five meridians would advance side by side and be on the same level.    

On that day in the Soaring Dragon palace, Jiang Chen had only used the strength of three meridians true qi and he had not even touched the true strength of the five meridians true qi.    

Of course, he was well aware that there were many lucky elements behind Bai Zhan Yun's total restriction on eight meridians of true qi.    

Firstly, his level of martial dao knowledge was much more advanced than that of a practitioner in true qi realm.    

Second, the two agreed to argue using Eastern King Point. With regards to common techniques like Eastern King Point, Jiang Chen had indeed reached the legendary realm and thus, he could naturally suppress Bai Zhan Yun from the impeccable realm.    

The third and most important point was that Bai Zhan Yun had demonstrated the Eastern King Points before. Jiang Chen had fully comprehended the Eastern King Point version of his.    

In the end, Bai Zhan Yun had actually lost all initiative even before the battle began. It was normal for him to be fought at every opportunity.    

Of course, Bai Zhan Yun was also very unlucky. How could he know that his opponent was a deviant, whose knowledge of martial dao far surpassed this world?    

If both sides used their strongest techniques and gave their all in the actual match, it would be difficult to determine who would win if Jiang Chen were to contend against Bai Zhan Yun's strongest weapon.    

After all, Jiang Chen's true strength was at five meridians true qi, and Bai Zhan Yun was at eight meridians. The three levels of difference between the two encompassed the entire region.    

But, Jiang Chen also believed if he was able to accept or avoid thirty blows of Bai Zhan Yun, then he, Jiang Chen, would be the final winner.    

After conducting the battle simulation, Jiang Chen had a further understanding of the true fighting strength of a practitioner in the field of true qi.    

“Speaking a thousand lines and theorizing ten thousand lines, it's all fake. The martial dao battle continued to change and change. I can sit here and run simulations, but many unexpected battle rounds cannot be simulated. At the heart of it all, I need to keep improving. Thankfully, my fifth meridian has gone through the initial step of strengthening. The next step is to use the True Acupuncture Point Resonance and find the sixth acupuncture point.”    

He had come to this world and he had only used half a month to train from three meridians of true qi to five meridians. Even the leading geniuses took three to five months.    

But Jiang Chen only used half a month.    

However, this is far from enough. Five meridians true qi was still a bit too weak. Jiang Chen would most likely be the victim of many small defeats in the battle against the other heirs, not to mention fighting against the truly powerful cultivators in the kingdom.    

“The final test of the Hidden Dragon Trials is getting closer. Judging from the atmosphere of the capital, it seems that the wind blowing hard makes the clouds become like a funnel. It seemed that even in a small kingdom, a huge vortex would still form as the wind and clouds churned. My current strength is still not enough to navigate the vortex easily.”    

The end of the month has come quickly.    

On the last day of the month, Jiang Chen arrived at the testing site with Jiang Zheng behind him, he felt very comfortable.    

If not for those who knew otherwise, who would have thought that such a carefree person had not passed even three basic exams?    

Due to his appearance in the Soaring Dragon palace that night, Jiang Chen's appearance was quite eye-catching. The only difference was that when compared to that day in the Healing Hall, those who pointed and stared nonstop back then were more reserved and vigilant at the moment.    

Jiang Chen naturally did not care about what the outside world thought of him and he headed straight for the construction of the testing site.    

Someone was walking out when he came in. It was Yanmen's heir, Yan Yiming    

Jiang Chen's! Yan Yiming's eyes gushed out flames as he looked at Jiang Chen.    

His defeat at the hands of Jiang Chen's single strike at the Soaring Dragon palace last time was a shameful thing in his life for Yan Yiming. Not only had he lost face in front of his friends, but more importantly, he had been fooled in front of Long Juxue. Even now, Long Juxue was rather haughty towards him.    

Yan Yiming felt it was all Jiang Chen's fault. If not for that bastard, Jiang Chen, how could he, Yan Yiming, be degraded as a joke to the entire capital?    

“You monkey Yan stole my seat?” Jiang Chen first emptied it, but then recognized the person in front of him.    

Except, his sudden enlightenment was even more of an insult in Yan Yiming's eyes.    

“Jiang Chen, how dare you treat me like this! If not for your evil trick, do you think you can defeat me with just three meridians of true qi?!” Yan Yiming shouted in a hoarse voice as he did not care what kind of incident it was.    

“This means you don't accept your defeat?” Jiang Chen smiled faintly.    

"Receive? Who do you think you are that I admit to you? Is your Jiang Han duchy ranked higher than my Yanmen duchy? Or is your training level higher than mine?”    

“I... I want to fight you!” Yan Yiming roared. He did not accept his defeat, he did not concede! He would regain his lost prestige and much more!    

And the most direct way was to defeat the culprit, Jiang Chen, humiliate him viciously, oppress him, and stomp him firmly onto the ground!    

"Fight? I have no time and no interest in you!” Jiang Chen smiled carelessly as he shook his head and walked past Yan Yiming as if he was in midair.    

“Jiang Chen, you coward! You won by chance and no longer have the guts to fight me? All righty! I've long since learned that your Jiang family is a cowardly clan. You're not fighting? Goody! I will let you go as long as you admit in front of everyone that you are a coward!”    

Jiang Chen ignoring him, in Yan Yimin eyes, was an act of guilt. This further strengthened Yan Yiming's confidence and made him very confident that Jiang Chen was winning due to luck.    

Suddenly, Jiang Chen's footsteps came to a halt.    

Whether it was the label of cowardice or humiliation towards his father, both were actions that went beyond his limits.    

Those who break my limits are inexcusable!    

“Three moves!” Jiang Chen looked at Yan Yiming coldly. “You don't have the qualifications to fight with me! I'll admit if you're not on your back in three moves!    

"Ha ha ha! You are so arrogant! I don't want your three moves! I am the grand heir of Yanmen.” Yan Yiming was about to continue his arrogance and bluff when those words suddenly died in his throat.    

He did not dare to speak any further and he was unable to speak any further because in front of him, Jiang Chen had become like a cocked arrow, emitting a strange aura and locking Yan Yiming away.    

“First step, take a good look!”    

Jiang Chen did not make any flowery moves and only took one step forward. His arms lifted slightly as he took one step.    

Except when he raised his arm, it made the other person's heart pound.    

"Labour!"    

A sword-sharp aura spread out, from his fingertips, and pierced through the air. It had an incredible path, as if it was about to split open the sky as it shot towards Yan Yiming!    

Yan Yiming only felt his eardrums numb as thunder rumbled. This astonishing point sped towards his weakness like a detached arrow.    

"Huh. The same old trick. Trying to hurt me with this Eastern King Point?”    

Although Yan Yiming was surprised by this sudden matter, he was still confident that he could avoid it.    

His body shot out like a waving motion of a willow tree branch.    

“Willow Step, windless waves!”    

Yan Yiming's body moved like a dandelion flower floating in the air. The rhythm of his movements was like the ripples of water caused by the wind, possessing an indescribable elegance.    

This is Yanmen exclusive heritage – “Willow Step”.    

Yan Yiming was extremely confident. He firmly believed that the defeat of the day was the result of method restrictions. He would fully demonstrate his family legacy today and defeat Jiang Chen!    

However, his moment of pride did not last long. Jiang Chen took another step forward, but the speed of his arm movements somewhat increased.    

Second point, Starburst!    

Jiang Chen's movements were simple, quick and unadorned. It may seem too simple and rude to outsiders.    

But, only Jiang Chen himself could understand the true meaning of his seemingly clumsy movements.    

All the techniques under the heavens easily became more complex, but it was difficult to be simple.    

Jiang Chen's two points had actually reached the level of simplifying the complex. All complications are concentrated on the displacement.    

Seek change amid persistence.    

Of course, a hint of a proud smile was seen on Yan Yiming's face. “Jiang Chen, even though your Eastern King Points are decent, but you've run out of tricks right? You want to hurt me? Keep dreaming!"    

But, it seems like he is not talking.    

Jiang Chen's entire posture suddenly changed drastically. His fingers moved a little and his rhythm changed again.    

Third point, No Name!    

This causes the flowers not to become flowers and the mist does not become fog. It is unexplainable and unexplainable. It was clearly from Eastern King Point, but it was far beyond the meaning the Point should have.    

Outstanding lines, incredible curves, incredible points.    

A shocking blow.    

Yan Yiming only felt a piercing pain under his ribs in the same position as last time, but he felt a force that was more than tenfold. It tore through all of its movements and defences mercilessly like paper. Another blow!    

Yan Yiming's body fell again to the ground, his status unknown!
