Lore and Martial Realm, wind and sword, was the Wind Sword Realm. This realm was divided into nine levels according to the strength of the two former elements.
Most of those days youngsters were just on the first level, while Young Master Shenji, who reached the second level, managed to rise above the other geniuses, and distinguish himself.
Calligraphy was even more strenuous than painting, and both his hand and brushâs movement were extremely slow.
Each time he finished a stroke, the black ink on the paper would shine, and even though it was just a momentary flicker, it was still profound and mysterious.
A powerful imposing manner erupted out of Young Master Shenjiâs body. He seemed like a lofty mountain, and brought great pressure upon the other people in the institute.
âMountain-like vigor!â
Tian Ling said inwardly, âYoung Master Shenjiâs talent is really exceptional, and heâs matchless in the Wing Prefecture.â
Tian Ling didnât stand on any one side in the conflict which just occurred.
The people invited by the Civil and Martial Arts Institute were all talented youths, who were full of vigor, competitive, and aggressive, and the occurrence of conflicts was unavoidable when they gathered together.
She was already accustomed to it, and she wouldnât meddle in them, and she would just keep order properly, and let them compete.
When she looked at Jiang Chen this time, her expectations of him werenât any lower than her expectation of Young Master Shenji.
Jiang Chen didnât wait until the end before starting like a while ago. His gaze fell on the row of writing brushes, and he took two of them.
A daring guess emerged in each personâs mind, but they still couldnât believe it because it was too bizarre.
However, Jiang Chen really proved such a guess with his actions, and both of his brushes landed on the paper at the same time, before he started waving them.
When amazement just appeared on peopleâs face, two completely different radiance erupted of him, and spread in both his left and right side.
âTwo Lore Conception?â
Tian Ling was startled, and she examined them with her Holy Awareness, she discovered that Fire and Wind Lore martial techniques were like a pair of wings on Jiang Chenâs back.
Even though she was amazed by it, she still couldnât help but worry about whether Jiang Chen could really achieve it.
Mastering two Lore martial techniques was extraordinary, but their might was at the same level, while fusing them was extremely difficult.
Jiang Chen was now multitasking, and writing with both at the same time. His actions challenged all peopleâs imagination.
If they werenât forbidden from disturbing him, they would all wish to come to Jiang Chenâs side, and observe him closely.
Time elapsed slowly, while Jiang Chenâs movement was also slow, and it was especially the case since he used both hands.
Young Master Shenji, who started ahead of him, managed obviously to finish first.
When he put away the brush, his bodyâs imposing manner became more vigorous, and it was like a mountain just rose from the ground, and reached the firmament.
The people beside him started falling back, as while they were there, they all felt like a boulder was stifling their chests.
After a short while passed, the Civil and Martial Arts Instituteâs lady came to his side, took his piece of art, and delivered it to the pavilion.
Young Master Shenji looked over there expectantly, and he didnât pay attention even to Jiang Chenâs astonishing actions.
âA masterpiece! Young Master Shenji made a fine piece and masterpiece in succession. Heâs really a genius,â Tian Ling praised him.
Young Master Shenji raised his head proudly when he heard her, and it was only now did he look at Jiang Chen.
âWhatâs this guy doing?â
When he noticed that Jiang Chen was holding a brush in each hand, Young Master Shenjiâs expression stiffened, and he couldnât believe what he just witnessed.
After he confirmed that he didnât mistake it for something else, he couldnât help but laugh heartily.
âNot bad, not bad. Some people can always attract attention regardless of what they are doing, even if they were just joking around,â Young Master Shenji said.
He didnât hide the mockery in his words this time due to the fact that he became even more confident after making a masterpiece, and also due to the fact that Jiang Chenâs actions were really laughable.
Tian Ling, who was on the other side, already ordered people to hang Young Master Shenjiâs piece of art.
When people looked at it, they saw a âgodâ word. He was so proud that he used the âShenâ in his name, which meant god, to make a masterpiece.
When the crowd exclaimed in alarm after noticing it, he raised his head proudly.
âYoung Master Shenji is really the Wing Prefectureâs pride.â
âThatâs right, he will surely get an extraordinary title in the Title Battle.â
âThat goes without saying.â
All of the Wing Prefectureâs talented youths here admired him.
âHeâs good at all aspects, and possessed the demeanor of a true martial artists, and he isnât like someone, who managed to make a divine piece of art, yet heâs still just a Spiritual Venerable, and once it was time to display oneâs true skill, he fooled around like a clown,â Li Baiâs elder brother spoke loudly.
His words were targeting Li Bai and Jiang Chen, yet it still stated Young Master Shenjiâs true opinion.
All of a sudden, Young Master Shenji, who was pleased with himself, got lost in his thought, and he furrowed his brows, as if he just recalled something.
According to what his second uncle said, the person, who killed his little brother, was called Jiang Chen. He was a Spiritual Venerable, who had a sword and knife, and mastered two Lore martial techniques.
Moreover, he still remembered well Jiang Chenâs picture, as he was ranked first among all people he must kill.
When he looked at Young Master Feng now, he felt like everything besides his appearance was tallying with it.
âHeâs a swordsman, yet he didnât reveal his sword. Was he afraid of exposing the fact that heâs using both a sword and knife.â
Young Master Shenji examined him with his Holy Awareness, yet he still didnât see any traces of appearance changing on him, and he became even more confused.
When everyone took him lightly, Jiang Chen had just a single stroke left. He put back his right handâs brush, and exerted his whole power in his left hand before he stopped.
When the tip of his brush left the paper, it seemed like the whole worldâs power was extracted from it.
Whimp! Whimp! Whimp!
A boundless imposing manner was emitted from the white paper. It didnât need anyone to lift it, as it flew to the sky by itself, and revolved unceasingly as it formed a warm and strong wind, which assaulted all people.
After it caused this place to descend into confusion, the white paper calmed down, and descended slowly, while the word on it shone with a splendid light.
âA divine piece of art, itâs surely a divine piece of art.â
After Tian Ling witnessed such a disturbance, she ran out of the pavilion quickly, and caught the white paper.
When she looked excitedly at the paper, she confirmed her guess.
Fuu!
Jiang Chen was so exhausted that he gasped for breath, and he sat down on the chair, and ignored the other peopleâs reactions.
âMiss Tian Ling?â
When the crowd witnessed Tian Lingâs infatuated look, they already guessed it, but they still waited for her to confirm it.
Tian Ling opened her mouth, and spoke before Young Master Shenjiâs disbelieving gaze, âItâs a divine piece of art.â
âImpossible!â Young Master Shenji shouted out without even giving it a thought.
Could Jiang Chen make a divine piece of art even while working in such a hilarious way?
Tian Ling didnât explain anything, and she just turned over the white paper, and showed it to the crowd.
It seemed like the white paper possessed a peculiar power, which attracted all people to it.
The whole Civil and Martial Arts Institute descended into silence, and only a rough breathing sound could be heard.
The word written by Jiang Chen was âswordâ, and the other peopleâs words âmartialâ and âgodâ were beside it.
However, they both lose their luster in comparison to the âswordâ, and they werenât inferior to it by just a bit, and the difference between them was like the difference between dirt and the sky.
âYoung Master Shenji, your sky today crumbled, so you should better be careful on the Title Battleâs day, so that your sky wonât crumble there, too.â
Jiang Chen already rested enough now, and he stood up again, and spoke to the arrogant Young Master Shenji.
Young Master Shenji wore a dark look now, and he clenched his teeth tightly. He should have been the most outstanding here, and even though he was inferior to Jiang Chen, he was still capable of making a fine piece of art, and a masterpiece.
However, the second position still meant that he was a loser, and it was something, which Young Master Shenji could never accept.
