Chapter 1105
Fang Hong had heard a lot of stories about Jiang Chen . Each of them was quite surprising . But he thought this was only because of Jiang Chen’s background . If he had been any of the junior Heavenly Kings, none of the things he had achieved would have been so surprising . It was only because he was from the Realm of Nine Heavens that people had thought so little of him . In the end, the big contrast between their expectations and the facts turned out to be quite dramatic .

Fang Hong was not very happy about it . He thought Jiang Chen was just seeking publicity . In his eyes, the latter was nothing but a clown .
“You defeated the top three of the Human List and a Wizard warrior . That’s your biggest achievement . However, almost every disciple here could achieve that . I guess you won’t have the nerve to blow yourself up here to bomb the Sword God Palace, will you?” Fang Hong said complacently . He was excited about disclosing Jiang Chen’s true colors .
However, Jiang Chen was not annoyed at all . Instead, he felt confused . “You don’t hate me because my state is too low, but because you are jealous of my fame?” Jiang Chen revealed his thoughts .
“Jealous of you? I’m an elite of the Sword God Palace . I’m jealous of you?” Fang Hong was really pissed . He was very angry .
“Elite? Where is the elite?” Looking around, Jiang Chen totally ignored the man in front of him .
“Damn it! Take my sword!” Fang Hong could not put up with him anymore . Unsheathing his sword, he threw it over toward Jiang Chen .
“So, it’s allowed to fight in the Sword God Palace . Great . I’ll exercise a little then . ” Jiang Chen’s left hand did not move, but the Red Cloud Sword unsheathed itself . The man and the sword turned into one . They were working in perfect coordination . His swordplay was natural and unforced .
In a place like the Sword God Palace, which was full of swordsmen, this alone caught many peoples’ attentions .
However, Fang Hong’s style was quite intimidating also . The two rose into the air as if they had a tacit understanding . When the two swords met, a dreadful ambience filled the area . The fact that Fang Hong had the nerve to challenge Jiang Chen meant he was not weak . He was a seven-star strongman working on two qi at the same time, and he had mastered a clear sword spirit .
As the most popular disciple of the Wind Department, his sword movement was extremely fast and threatening . It was almost as good as Break the Rule with a Single Sword Attack .
“Wind Extreme Sword Spirit!”
“Near Gale Sword Movement!”

His sword momentum, sword movement, and sword spirit were all very pure .
Jiang Chen stopped despising him . The movement of the Heavenly Fault Sword kept changing . He exerted the Idealistic Sword Doctrine . There were as if thousands of swords fighting with each other in the air, layer upon layer, shadow upon shadow .
“You want to resist my sword . Dream on!” Fang Hong’s attack was extremely fierce and overwhelming . He kept pushing Jiang Chen .
Jiang Chen’s swords were moving very fast to resist his rival’s sword . His defense was flawless .
The fight in the air caught the attention of the whole Sword God Palace . Many people looked up to watch .
“This Jiang Chen is quite average . ” This was most people’s reaction . It was not because he was at a disadvantage, but because Fang Hong was not in a high position in the Sword God Palace .
“That’s all you have?” Jiang Chen, who had not launched any attack, suddenly asked .
Fang Hong, looking for Jiang Chen’s flaws, was staggered at his question . Then, smiling coldly without speaking, he thought Jiang Chen was just trying to distract him .
“Wind and Fire Swords Wheel, On!”
But to his surprise, Jiang Chen drew the Red Cloud Sword out . The tide turned immediately .
“Two sword realms of lore? And he has achieved the fourth level?” Some proud disciples of the Sword God Palace had stopped watching the fight, but their attentions were caught by Jiang Chen’s two hands and two swords once again . The practicing body Lu Ping had been working hard lately . His lore of wind had improved to the fifth level from the second level . Together with the lore of fire and the Idealistic Sword Doctrine, his Wind and Fire Sword Realm had also leveled up .
The wind and the fire swept over and cracked Fang Hong’s attack, pushing him into a corner .

“Swords Wheel!”
Overlaid, the two swords were thrown over together . It was a less powerful version of Wind and Fire Swords Wheel, but it defeated Fang Hong just the same .
“Huh, interesting . ” Someone murmured . Jiang Chen had piqued everyone’s interest .
Back in the square, Fang Hong restrained himself after the loss, but he was still not convinced . As Jiang Chen had pointed out, he did not think Jiang Chen deserved the fame he had achieved, although now Jiang Chen had defeated him .
“Let’s wait and see . There are lots of people in the Sword God Palace who can defeat you . ”
Then Fang Hong turned around to leave .
“Did I say you could go?” Jiang Chen smiled coldly . The blades of wind and fire in his hands turned to a long whip . It wound around Fang Hong’s ankles and pulled him down onto the ground . Then it drew him back .
“Apologize to my apprentice younger brother,” Jiang Chen said in a cold tone .
“What if I don’t?”
Lying on the ground disgracefully, Fang Hong asked . He was furious .
“If you don’t, I’ll kill you . ” Jiang Chen flicked his fingers . There was a small mysterious flame between his fingers, which could fall at any minute .
Fang Hong felt extremely cold . He had a strong sense of danger . If it had been others who said this in the Sword God Palace, he would have mocked them . However, this was Jiang Chen .

Instantly, the rumors that he had never believed came into his head . He was scared out of his wits .
“I can’t hold my temper for very long . ” Jiang Chen said . His fingers were slightly shaking . The evil flame could be emitted anytime .
“I apologize . ” Swallowing his saliva, Fang Hong got to his feet to apologize to Lin Yu .
Lin Yu was dumbfounded . However, he was also apparently excited, although he was trying hard to cover his excitement .
“Get lost!”
Jiang Chen extinguished the evil flame and let Fang Hong leave .
Fang Hong ran away immediately .
Those who had been speaking sarcastically on the square all shut up . They looked toward the two in awe .
“Apprentice Elder Brother Jiang Chen, he will find people to avenge him . ” It occurred to Lin Yu suddenly, although he was feeling good .
“Yeah? What’s his rank?” Jiang Chen asked out of curiosity .
“Rank?” Lin Yu did not understand what he meant .
“Oh? So, how do you judge who is better and who is worse? You can’t be using state as the standard . ” Jiang Chen found his reaction strange .
“Apprentice elder brother, there is no ranking in the Sword God Palace, because the academy doesn’t approve of practicing for ranks . But we have our own system to evaluate the students . There are divine, dragon, ghost, tiger, and wolf levels . This is the internal system of the academy . Students in different phases get different treatments . Fang Hong is a wolf level . ”
“The lowest?” Jiang Chen was surprised .
“Yes . ”
Jiang Chen curled his lip . The pleasure of winning vanished right away . It turned out he had just defeated a person of the lowest level .
“Apprentice elder brother, not everyone can be a wolf level as soon as they get here . We have to pass an exam too,” Lin Yu hurried to explain after seeing his reaction .
“So, the Human List, the Earth List, and the Heaven List mean nothing here?” Jiang Chen asked .
“Those three lists have age limits . And only 300 people can be ranked on them . It’s far less than enough . Of course, those ranked on the lists are incredible indeed . ”
“Looks like I’ve got a lot to learn . ” Jiang Chen exclaimed . Then he asked Lin Yu the most important question—Why did he stand on Jiang Chen’s side?
“Because I thought none of the most popular departments wanted apprentice elder brother, so you would probably join our department,” Lin Yu told him the reason .
“Which department are you in?”
“The Thunder Department . ”
Jiang Chen was surprised at his answer . Thunder methods were usually very strong, but Lin Yu did not look like a practitioner of thunder methods .
Then he tumbled to the fact that they were in the Sword God Palace . It was exactly because thunder methods were strong that no martial doctrine could subdue them . There had never been things like sword realm of thunder . As a result, the Thunder Department was quite unpopular in the Sword God Palace . Lin Yu was the only student in this department . He was not even at wolf level . People certainly would bully him .
“All right . So, I’ll join the Thunder Department,” Jiang Chen said .
