Jian Chen looked out the window at the sky. The sun was already high up in the sky, and it was getting late.
Today was a special day for Kargath Academy, as the academy would be holding a large-scale event. All the students and teachers would be participating in the event, and the event would be called the Wilderness Survival Battle. All students would have to go to a small forest 20 kilometers away from Kargath Academy and stay there for three days. Students who were not yet Saints would have to obtain at least two Class 1 Monster Cores within these three days to pass the test. Each student had to obtain at least two Class 2 Monster Cores to pass the test. There was no limit to the number of Monster Cores that could be submitted, but the student who submitted the most Monster Cores would receive an extremely rich reward, an earth-type Class 4 Monster Core and a Space Ring.
Such a generous reward was enough to move the eyes of those rich children born in large families.
At the same time, all the students who passed the test would be able to read all kinds of combat techniques and cultivation techniques on the fourth floor of the library. This reward was even more attractive to those students who were born in ordinary families.
A battle skill was a battle skill that could unleash a powerful attack. Through the unique use of Saint Force, one could unleash one hundred and twenty percent of one's strength or even unleash a powerful move that completely surpassed one's own strength.
Cultivation methods could only be used by those who had reached the Saint level. Some ordinary families did not even have the lowest level of cultivation methods. The children of ordinary families basically relied on the most basic method of breathing to cultivate Saint Force. This method was spread across every corner of the Tian Yuan Continent, and the contents were extremely simple. Almost every ordinary family knew about it. The only flaw was that this method could only allow one to reach the 10th layer of Saint Force at most. It was useless for people who had already become Saints. Therefore, in the eyes of those students who were born in civilian families, a combat skill and cultivation method was already a rare treasure.
On the Tian Yuan Continent, all battle skills and cultivation methods were divided into four levels: Saint, Heaven, Earth, and Human. Each level was further divided into three levels: Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced.
After leaving the dormitory, Jian Chen headed straight for the field. The event had been announced three days ago, and in three days, almost all the students had finished their preparations and adjusted their strength to the peak.
When Jian Chen arrived at the field, there was already a sea of people there. However, it was very obvious that there were two camps. One of the camps was filled with the children of wealthy families, while the other camp was filled with commoners who did not have any background.
All the students who had yet to advance to the Saint level were holding a weapon that shone with cold light. As they were fighting against magical beasts this time, the academy allowed them to choose a weapon for self-defense.
Jian Chen walked straight to the weapon rack, but when he saw the remaining weapons on the rack, he couldn't help but frown. The good weapons had almost all been picked by the students in front of him. The remaining weapons were either inferior or heavy weapons that required brute force to swing. They were not suitable for him to use at all.
Sweeping his gaze across the weapon rack, Jian Chen found a broken metal rod that was as thick as a finger stuck into the frame of the weapon. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately reached out to pull it out with great difficulty. The metal rod was about three feet long and as thick as a finger. It was already covered with brownish-yellow rust, and there was an extremely sharp tip on one end.
Jian Chen held the rusty iron rod in his hand and weighed it in his hand before testing its hardness. Only then did he nod his head in satisfaction. Although it was inconvenient to hold the iron rod, its weight and length were suitable for Jian Chen's use. Among the remaining weapons here, there was no doubt that only this iron rod could allow Jian Chen to unleash as much strength as possible.
At this moment, Tie Ta walked out from the crowd. He was carrying an enormous axe that was slightly larger than his body. Tie Ta looked even more majestic now.
Tie Ta arrived in front of Jian Chen. When his gaze fell on the rusty iron rod in Jian Chen's hand, he could not help but reveal a sliver of doubt. He asked in confusion,"Hey, Changyang Xiang Tian, what are you doing with that iron rod?”
Jian Chen chuckled,"What else can I do? Of course I'll use it as a weapon."”
"No way, Changyang Xiang Tian, you're actually using this broken iron rod as a weapon, you…You... Is there something wrong with your head?" Tie Ta was shocked.
Jian Chen chuckled and did not explain further.
Although Tie Ta didn't understand why Jian Chen was using a broken iron rod as a weapon, he didn't continue to dwell on the matter. He continued,"Changyang Xiang Tian, why don't the two of us join forces? If we join forces, no Class 1 Magical Beasts can threaten us, and we can even kill Class 2 Magical Beasts. I've been fighting wild beasts in the forest since I was young, and I've gradually learned some survival skills. If you're with me, you'll definitely suffer less.”
Hearing this, Jian Chen thought for a moment before nodding in agreement to Tie Ta's suggestion. The academy did not prohibit students from gathering in groups of three to five to hunt magical beasts, so most students could gather in groups of three to five.
At this moment, a handsome rich man with a hint of arrogance appeared in front of Tie Ta and smiled."Hello Tie Ta, my name is Xiu Mi Si, and I'm at the peak of the 10th Saint Force layer. Why don't we travel together? I believe that if we work together, it'll be much easier to hunt magical beasts.”
Tie Ta looked at Xiu Mi Si before shaking his head."No need, Changyang Xiang Tian and I are enough, we don't need anyone else.”
Xiu Mi Si was not discouraged by Tie Ta's rejection. He turned to Jian Chen and immediately became a little arrogant,"This must be Changyang Xiang Tian, the fourth young master of the Changyang clan in Lore City. Hehe, you are indeed a talent. Student Changyang Xiang Tian, I am from the Xiu Mi clan of the Forbidden City. My father is the patriarch of the Xiu Mi clan. I wonder if junior Changyang Xiang Tian would welcome me to join your group?”Although Xiu Mi Si's words were quite polite, there was a hint of intimidation in his tone.
The Forbidden City was a royal city, but to the Gesun Kingdom, the Forbidden City was an imperial city. The imperial palace was located within the Forbidden City.
Hearing the threat in Xiu Mi Si's voice, Jian Chen frowned. His eyes slowly swept over Xiu Mi Si's handsome face and he said indifferently,"I'm sorry, but we don't need anyone to join us. After all, we're facing a Class 1 Magical Beast, so we don't have the time to take care of others.”
Hearing this, Xiu Mi Si's face immediately turned a deep shade of red. Jian Chen's words clearly showed that he looked down on Xiu Mi Si's strength.
Xiu Mi Si's face darkened as he glared at Jian Chen's calm face. With a cold snort, he left.
After Metheus left, many people with extraordinary identities came one after another. These people either greeted Tie Ta or wanted to join his team, but Tie Ta rejected them all. Tie Ta did not have a good impression of these people and was unwilling to speak to them.
After everyone had left, a burly youth who wasn't much younger than Tie Ta walked over with three middle-sized students who were around twenty years old. He walked over to Jian Chen and patted him on the shoulder with a laugh,"Fourth brother, you're a famous person in the academy now. There's probably no one in Kargath Academy who doesn't know your name. Not bad, not bad. You didn't bring shame to our Changyang clan, and even let big brother follow you around.”The muscular youth was Jian Chen's big brother, Changyang Hu. At this moment, Changyang Hu's face was filled with a happy smile. The excitement came from the bottom of his heart.
Jian Chen smiled,"Big Brother, don't joke with me. By the way, you came at the right time. Why don't we travel together for this event?”
Changyang Hu shook his head. He seemed to have thought of something and smiled happily,"Fourth brother, if you had said this to me seven days ago, perhaps big brother would have been very happy to travel with you. However, that's not possible now because seven days ago, your big brother had finally condensed a Saint Weapon and become a Saint. This time, I will enter the third layer of the forest to hunt Class 2 Magical Beasts, so I can't go with you.”With that, a powerful Saint Force began to surge from Changyang Hu's body. A yellow light appeared in his hand, and a double-edged axe appeared in his hand. The axe was extremely large, and its surface was even larger than a washbasin. The entire axe was covered in a yellow light.
"Fourth brother, not bad, right? After condensing my Saint Weapon, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that my Saint Force is actually of the earth attribute.”Changyang Hu said proudly. When Saint Weapons with Attributes fought against Saint Weapons without Attributes, they would usually have a huge advantage. If two people of the same strength were to fight, the Saint Weapon with Attributes would almost always be the final winner.
Only after condensing a Saint Weapon would one be able to discover the attributes of their Saint Force. Therefore, before becoming a Saint, it was almost impossible to find out the attributes of their Saint Force. However, the chances of having an attributed Saint Force were extremely low. On average, only one out of a thousand people would have a Saint Weapon with an attribute.
Kargath Academy was filled with students with the greatest potential in the Gesun Kingdom, so it was normal for a thousand or so students to have Saint Force attribute students.
Seeing the double-edged axe in Changyang Hu's hand, Jian Chen couldn't help but smile happily,"Big brother, congratulations on successfully condensing a Saint Weapon and advancing to Saint. Moreover, it's a Saint Weapon with attributes.”
Changyang Hu's face was filled with joy. He then pointed at the youths who had come with him,"Right, fourth brother, let me introduce them to you. They are all the more outstanding ones among my direct descendants. They are Changyang Ao Jian, Changyang Feng, and Changyang Xiao Tian."”
"Greetings, Fourth Young Master!" The three youths bowed to Jian Chen with a very respectful attitude. The hierarchy of the Changyang clan was very strict, so even though they were all direct descendants of the Changyang clan, their status was lower than Jian Chen's. Even though many of them were older than Jian Chen, they still had to treat Jian Chen with respect.
Furthermore, the three of them didn't feel the slightest bit of injustice towards Jian Chen, who was a bit younger than them. Instead, they felt a sense of pride because Jian Chen had defeated the Saint Ka Di Yun who didn't use his Saint Weapon with just 80% of his Saint Force. He had also fought Luo Jian to a draw with his bare hands a few months ago, forcing Luo Jian to use his Saint Weapon. Jian Chen's achievements had caused all the teachers and students of Kargath Academy to sigh in admiration.
As disciples of the Changyang clan, they felt extremely proud of Jian Chen because he was a member of their clan, the fourth master of the clan.
