The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 32

Geniuses were happy to spend time on the second basic examination.    

Every genius seemed to like to use this masochistic method to me his potential. Jiang Chen was no exception.    

Previously, none of the many geniuses of the Eastern Kingdom had obediently left the room after an hour had passed.    

Everyone continued to persist inside, and refused to come out until they reached their limit.    

This test had basically become a hidden stage of battle for the leading geniuses.    

They compete to determine who can last the longest inside.    

Who can kill the flying beetle the most.    

In reality, no one had thought of shooting down the flying beetle towards the end of the test. They were too busy dodging the aura of the boundless sword that danced without rules, threatening to snatch the candidate's life at any moment.    

Observers began to gather outside the sword aura room.    

Jiang Chen had been in the sword aura room for an entire four hours. Many curious people rushed into the room as the news circulated.    

Four hours, what concept is that?    

The sword aura attack would double its power every hour in the sword aura space. This meant that after four hours, the sword aura in the room increased sixteenfold!    

If he still hadn't appeared after the next hour, the sword aura power would have increased to 32-fold, and continued at such speed!    

This Jiang Chen, is he already dead there?    

“Stop the nonsense. If a candidate was killed by the sword aura, his mechanism would stop attacking when he did not sense the existence of life. They will also send you a.” notice    

“Heh heh, I'm curious, that's all. Is this Jiang Chen really that good?”    

“Wolf hairy sheep. He really is a wolf in sheep's clothing.”    

“Ai, the only result of comparing yourself to others is death out of frustration! I remember that I wanted to come forward when I took the second basic exam and stayed there for another hour, but that dual sword aura was almost the end of me!”    

“Do you what is the longest record to stay in the sword aura room?”    

“I don't think anyone has made it past six hours.”    

“Said that Miss Long Juxue stayed in the room for almost six hours. He almost faced a 32-fold attack!”    

"Huh. Don't compare Jiang Chen to Miss Long Juxue. He's not worth it!”    

"Yes. Although Jiang Chen was a wolf in sheep's clothing, he was only slightly stronger than an ordinary genius. Miss Long Juxue was a genius for centuries! A peerless genius who possessed a blue phoenix constitution and had attracted the attention of a hidden great sect! They are not at all on the same level.”    

“Comparing Jiang Chen with Miss Juxue is an act of blasphemy against Miss Long Juxue!”    

Many excited fans immediately opened their mouths to condescend Jiang Chen to be worthless when it came to Miss Long Juxue.    

It was obvious that Long Juxue was in great demand by these heirs. You have to give it to her, her charming natural charm is no trivial matter.    

“You there, what nonsense are you farting? The older brother in my house, Chen, is my brother Chen, why should he compare himself to others?” This sounds like an earthquake.    

Fatty Xuan has arrived. As Jiang Chen's best friend, insulting Jiang Chen in front of him was worse than insulting him.    

The muscular Hubing Yue stood beside the fat Xuan.    

Both are fat or stocky – like two mountains, giving an impressive feeling to others.    

It was easy to be sarcastic, but these spectators did not yet have the courage to face Jiang Chen. These two comers were Jiang Chen's best friends. Insulting them was the same as offending Jiang Chen.    

Another hour passed…    

Fatty Xuan checked the time in this – hourglass is the sixth hourglass.    

Each hour of sand represents one hour. That is, Jiang Chen had already been in the sword aura room for six hours.    

The attack rate of the sword aura had now reached 32 times.    

Although the fat Xuan was still walking haughtily, his tightly clenched fingers behind his robe showed his inner uneasiness.    

“Xuan Fat, do you think brother Chen is in danger?” Hubing Yue was equally worried.    

“Do you think Brother Chen is someone who does not know the limits of his abilities?” Fatty Xuan asked in response. Although that was what he said, the fat Xuan wasn't too sure of his own words.    

Jiang Chen had never before been so great or displayed such potential before.    

He had accepted the challenge of surviving at the sixth hour. Of all the heirs, only Long Juxue had ever accepted this challenge before, but she had not made it through to the end.    

If Jiang Chen appeared after the hourglass ran out, then he would break the record this year!    

However, Long Juxue had been at eight meridians true qi, about to breakthrough to the ninth meridian when she took the second basic examination.    

He treated the sword aura space as a means to stimulate his potential and break his shackles, as a way to successfully ascend to nine meridians true qi!    

He succeeded in the end.    

Long Juxue was not even 15 years old at the time. He broke through to the ninth meridian in one move and became one of the few, mighty ones within the kingdom.    

We should know that aside from very few true qi masters, nine meridians true qi was basically invincible.    

And of all the true qi masters in the kingdom, who had not practiced for at least several decades? He could stand shoulder to shoulder with an experienced true qi master at the not even fifteen year old age. With such potential, it was no wonder he had a definite phoenix constitution.    

Long Juxue was now sixteen years old, and there was an obscure rumor that there was only a thin veil separating her from being a true qi master of ten meridians. It was a very thin sheath that could be pierced with a single puncture.    

All eyes stared intently at that hourglass.    

Many feel complicated emotions. They hoped for a miracle to be born, so that the topic that was ready to become a new rumor appeared in the kingdom. They also felt a little envious at the same time. What right did this Jiang Chen have to suddenly become a blockbuster figure?    

Long Juxue fans even cursed him inwardly, hoping that Jiang Chen was hit by the sword aura attack and thus destroyed.    

Long Juxue was the goddess of their hearts, and they simply did not want to see a useless person who was previously famous for breaking the record set by their goddess.    

Letting Jiang Chen break Long Juxue's record was the biggest humiliation for the goddess!    

However, things will not change because of the thoughts of some people. The sand in the hourglass slowly trickled down as time went on, second by second.    

Finally, the hourglass reached its end.    

As the last grain of sand trickled down, the entire hourglass was finally empty!    

That means six hours are up!    

The stone door towards the sword aura opened stammering. There was a hint of sweat on his forehead, as the previous five hours had not weighed him down almost like the past hour.    

The power of the sword aura as much as 32 times that of the sixth aura was simply too terrifying. If not for the fact that Jiang Chen had comprehended a bit of the rhythm of the sword aura, he would definitely not have been able to accept the attack with his true level of training.    

After seeing Jiang Chen slowly coming out of the room, those who attacked Jiang Chen verbally all hid with a guilty feeling backwards.    

It was as if Jiang Chen could pierce through the darkest recesses of their hearts with his bright and clear gaze.    

They did not even have the courage to look Jiang Chen in the eyes at that moment.    

As for Jiang Chen, his entire being was like a finely sharpened blade, its light increasing along with every step he took. It wasn't Jiang Chen who came out of the room! Everyone suddenly got the impression that there was a holy weapon coming out of the room.    

After being baptized with a sword aura of 32 times over, Jiang Chen was indeed infused with sword light slashes at this moment. It would be more appropriate to say that the sword aura had cut and polished Jiang Chen, rather than baptizing him.    

After all, Jiang Chen had become one with the sword aura, and his light shone brightly!    

“Brother Chen, Brother Chen, first of all genius!” Fatty Xuan exclaimed with emotion.    

“Jiang Chen, congratulations. You have passed the second basic exam brilliantly! The organizers in charge of this segment were also greatly shocked, and sincerely admired Jiang Chen's appearance.    

Such amazing shows are not available every day. The organizers also feel proud to witness the achievement themselves.    

"What's? Six Hours? Are you sure there is nothing wrong with the sword aura room?” Du Ruhai found it hard to trust his eyes when he received Jiang Chen's second basic exam results report.    

Even Long Juxue's previous appearance was nothing compared to this record.    

“There is nothing wrong with the sword aura space. The boy stayed there for a full six hours and shot down 120 flying beetles.”    

Jiang Chen's! Du Ruhai's overcast eyes showed a sinister look. “Looks like I have to suppress you even without Duke Long's insistence. Otherwise, with the grudges I formed with your Jiang family, what place would I get if your Jiang family really rose to power?”    

At this moment, Du Ruhai was even more resolute in his determination to suppress Jiang Chen firmly.    

If he did not suppress Jiang Chen, he, Du Ruhai, would have no future to speak of.    

Jiang Chen was currently the biggest winner of the two basic exams, and had the support of many neutral parties. Many saw a shadow of themselves in Jiang Chen.    

Ordinary potential, the rank of a middle duke. But even with the circumstances surrounding his birth, Jiang Chen's performance was not inferior to that top-tier heir.    

They had found an emotional sustenance, a point of resonance with Jiang Chen.    

Therefore, when Jiang Chen appeared at the testing site for the third basic exam, he was actually accompanied by many people cheering and clapping at him.    

Apart from a few prominent heirs, only Jiang Chen enjoyed such treatment.    

The third exam is also the easiest of all the basic exams. It tests the basics, concepts that can be put into memory.    

Of course, there are also dissertation topics that provide creative relaxation – topics that test the candidate experience. The final score will not be affected even if this free form topic is left blank.    

As long as one answered all those rote topics, he would receive enough points to pass the theory exam.    

Therefore, there is a saying in the three basic exams that as long as one passes the first two exams, the third exam is a walk in the park.    

Only an idiot or a person who had really not studied would fail the third exam.    

Jiang Chen walked into the testing site for the third exam amid a standing ovation.    

Four rolls, four tests represent the main topic of “Defense Art Articles”, “Roh” Treatment Articles, “Make Strength and Influence”, and “Make Military Strategy”.
