The Emperor of the Three Realms
chapter 55
A thousand mile journey begins with one step.
One had to take the path of training, no matter how long it took. Only by taking a step forward would there be any hope of attacking the endless dao.
“This Moon” Destroyer Flying Belt and its four accompanying abilities will not be trained in the time span of day and night.
However, even if one were to study it for only one in ten thousand bits, it would be an extreme layer of protection for the current Jiang Chen.
Of the four accompanying capabilities, “Psychis” Heads can be temporarily ruled out. Before spirit consciousness was developed for the seven holes, it was like trying to catch a fish in a tree for him to train this ability, with no hope of achieving anything extraordinary.
On the other hand, “Mata Lord”, “Ear Zephyr”, and “Hati Boulder”, all of them can be practiced at this time.
Jiang Chen studied diligently, and immersed himself in the understanding and training of these three abilities. Even if he only reached “small achievement”, it was still half of his efforts with double results when training “Moonhatter” Flying Belati.
When the manipulation technique of a unique dagger throwing skill is maximally trained, it culminates in a contest of sight, hearing, and mental abilities!
Right now, the sparring partners in Jiang Han's palace were all quite busy.
In order to train his vision, Jiang Chen had his matchmates constantly release small insects, such as mosquitoes and flies, and search for one small insect he had tagged earlier, according to the flying speed, trajectory, and, and the habits of the flies and the mosquitoes.
Admittedly, this type of training method is close to a perfect intense level.
In the beginning, Jiang Chen had basically failed again and again. Even with her eyes constantly staring, she was still too busy to attend all the random dances of several hundred flies and mosquitoes.
However, after enduring for two days, Jiang Chen was basically able to realize the possibility of one in ten based on his vision alone.
If based on hearing, it was likely that one in about twenty would appear.
Training his mental ability is the most difficult – chances are less than one in fifty.
Three days later, four days later…
Jiang Chen's improvement was quite obvious. On the fifth day, Jiang Chen could actually achieve a fifty percent success rate based on vision alone.
Hearing also increased by thirty percent.
There wasn't much improvement in mental ability, but Jiang Chen wasn't depressed. He knew that training mental abilities was the most difficult thing, and required the most patience.
Vision and hearing can be improved with sufficient time. But mental ability demands a calm and impartial attitude, enduring constantly without the slightest hint of an irritable mindset.
Just as his eyesight and hearing had improved greatly, so did the training of “Dagger Flying Moon Destroyer” Jiang Chen start in an orderly manner.
With such a strong vision and hearing partnership, Jiang Chen showed tremendous potential and status in dagger throw manipulation.
The initial steps of the “Moonshatter” Flying Daggers were overpowered by Jiang Chen almost without the slightest bit of difficulty, and he quickly trained him to an incredible realm of perfection.
“It looks like strong eyesight and hearing is indeed the biggest guarantee in dagger throwing exercises. Coincidentally, a strong mental ability would allow the unique skill of throwing a dagger that follows one's will.”
Jiang Chen had good eyesight and an incredible sense of hearing thanks to his vision and hearing training, and although his mental ability training was developing slowly, this caused his entire attitude to become stable and majestic, he said, become more confident and calm.
In a short period of less than half a month, the changes that completely reshaped him had appeared again in Jiang Chen's body. As his training progress deeper, he can experience a satisfying improvement every day.
And as time passed, the final test of the Hidden Dragon Trials finally arrived.
As of today, 108 heirs had arrived at the large courtyard in front of the entrance of the Hidden Dragon Trial testing site.
Jiang Chen was no exception. He had made so much preparation for this Hidden Dragon Trial that he would naturally not miss such a great opportunity.
This could be called the first meaningful challenge he faced since his reincarnation.
The Hidden Dragon Trials was the first stage where Jiang Chen would prove himself. He doesn't want to lose!
All the heirs looked at each other elaborately to judge each other, and even engaged in a contest with each other.
Everyone wanted to prevent his opponent with a show of strength on this occasion, no one wanted to lose their spirit before it all started.
Hence, all sorts of gazes met in a fierce fight, and permeated the entire scene.
Jiang Chen greeted the fat Xuan and Hubing Yue. Fatty Xuan's six meridians true qi was already quite stable. With his own words, it would be at most two months before he managed to break through the seven meridians of true qi.
As for Hubing Yue, he was already at eight meridians true qi. A commotion arose after he entered where he did not hold back in showing his level of training.
After all, eight meridians true qi truly existed at the level of ten grand dukes!
If Jiang Chen wanted to attack eight meridians of true qi, his chances of success were completely above ninety percent. But he did not do it intentionally.
Currently, there was no great difference between seven meridians true qi and eight meridians true qi.
They are not the only ones making progress. No matter friends or enemies, all heirs had performed their final sprints before the Hidden Dragon Trials.
Therefore, everyone's appearance was now more or less accompanied by some improvement.
Yanmen's heir, Yan Yiming – character disaster that Jiang Chen had destroyed twice under his feet – somehow obtained some magic pill medicine and completely recovered from his injuries, with his training reaching a higher goal, and breaking through to the seven meridians true qi!
“Jiang Chen, you have used sneaky tricks to plot against me many times. I, Yan Yiming, will get payment from you during the Hidden Dragon Trials. Now that I have entered the realm of advanced true qi, do you think your cunning tricks will remain effective?” Yan Yiming glared at Jiang Chen from afar and personally revealed his great ambition, vowing to ruthlessly torture Jiang Chen.
According to the rules of the Hidden Dragon Trials, if a duke was ranked in the top four, then they could have two candidates in the Hidden Dragon Trials, with a more optimal score recorded.
This is equivalent to another layer of insurance that allows the strong to become stronger.
The four grand dukes were respectively duke of Soaring Dragon, duke of the White Tiger, duke of Vermillion Bird, and duke of the Black Tortoise.
Jiang Chen glanced a glance in that direction when he heard those words.
The disciples of the four grand dukes all knew how to display it well – in particular the heir of Soaring Dragon acted as if they were the main protagonists.
That female of course became the hot topic of the Trials this time, Long Juxue.
The male was Long Juxue's brother, Long Yinye.
Long Yinye lived up to his name, cold and arrogant, engulfed in a wild temperament. His entire existence was like a dragon overturning the seas and rivers, full of wild aura.
Although this man's reputation was not as famous as Long Juxue and his azure phoenix constitution, he was even more mysterious. It was said that his actual training level was not inferior to Long Juxue, and his ability in battle was even more than his.
That is, the son and daughter of the Duke of Soaring Dragon practically had double insurance, which completely ensured that the Hidden Dragon Trial champion would not fall into any other hands.
The first duke of the kingdom had his own capital and pride.
On the contrary, whether it was the heir of the White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, or the Black Tortoise, everything was nothing in comparison.
When the eight of them walked together, even though they all had characteristics like a phoenix or dragon among humans, Long Juxue and Long Yinye gave the feeling of being above the others – like a crane standing among chickens, it soars above the common herd and allows others to identify them with one look.
“Sial, what makes you arrogant? Sooner or later, I will beat you one by one.” Fatty Xuan showed admiration, jealousy, and hatred.
Not because he was narrow-minded, but because these people had never treated him as a human being. This was the mindset of revenge that developed from the fat Xuan after he was looked down upon by these people.
Jiang Chen closed his eyes after a quick glance. He was not at all interested in an attitude that pretended to be aloof and haughty.
These four grand dukes purposely built themselves into one above the other. Undoubtedly, this was a demonstration of strength for the other heirs, and a warning for them not to underestimate the challenge to their position.
It was an instinct to protect one's territory, but Jiang Chen ignored it.
If any of the dukes below really possessed great power, they would never let go of the opportunity to challenge the four great dukes due to their appearance.
The position of a duke was won based on the fight, and not through presentation.
"Jiang Chen!"
This time, Vermillion Bird's heir, Hong Tiantong, spoke first.
“Jiang Chen, I've heard that a big incident has happened in your Jiang Han house. What are you doing here?"
Bai Zhanyun had been enlightened by now, and was no longer the striker of Long Juxue. Hong Tiantong naturally and happily accepted this noble mission.
"Who are you? What does my brother Chen have to do with you?” Fatty Xuan didn't care whether you were the four grand dukes or not. In his eyes, if you're not one of them, then you're the bad guy!
“Damn it, didn't your parents ever teach you manners?” When faced with a character like the plump Xuan, Hong Tiantong showed an instinctive contempt.
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows as a cold look swept in front of Hong Tiantong. “Are you provoking me? Then challenge me. If not, scram!”
Jiang Chen, right? Standing beside Long Juxue, Long Yinye looked at Jiang Chen with a pair of quick and sharp eyes. That wild killing intent surged without being hidden in Jiang Chen.
“I've heard of you, you seem to have taught that worthless Bai Zhanyun a lesson? Real good. I hope you don't disappoint me in this.”
Bai Zhanyun did not stand that far, and his face twitched when he heard Long Yinye in public ridiculing him as a worthless person, but in the end he controlled his emotions.
Jiang Chen, on the other hand, had a much more steady and majestic attitude after training his mental abilities.
His eyelids did not even jump when faced with the degrading tone of Long Yinye. “Group of flies, boisterous!”
“Good! Show us what you got in the Hidden Dragon Trial. Who do you think you are, flapping your lips here? Fatty Xuan also put on a face full of disdain.
Long Yinye's face turned cold and was about to open her mouth when, in the middle of the courtyard, a stunning beam of sword aura suddenly descended as if from heaven. Princess Gouyu's nimble figure suddenly appeared as the aura of the rainbow sword landed on the ground.
“Qi true rainbow? Eleven meridians true qi masters?” The scene became uproar as the gaze towards Princess Gouyu was tinged with more fear and respect.
The Eastern Kingdom also had some true qi masters, but these true qi masters were mostly ten meridians true qi.
Those who had trained eleven meridians true qi could be counted with one hand.
And Princess Gouyu had just joined eleven meridian true qi masters at over twenty years of age, how could this fellow not be astounding and astounding?
Even Long Yinye's wild eyes glanced to and fro at Princess Gouyu's body, even momentarily forgetting her conflict with Jiang Chen.
As for Long Juxue, an undetectable sign of killing intent flashed across that pretty face. His mouth lips immediately returned a thin smile the moment the killing intent flashed.
It was as if eleven meridians true qi meant nothing to him.
