Her voice trailed off as Changyang Hu came running back with a joyful face and a fat coin bag. When he arrived by Jian Chen’s side, he was tossing the purse up and down his hand as he snickered, “Fourth brother, your big brother is very wise. In less than an hour, I’ve won 100 Purple coins.” 100 Purple coins was by no means a small number to a commoner and for those who only ate a simple amount of food in their lives; 100 Purple coins could feed a family of three for the rest of their lives.!
Staring at the coin purse in his brother’s hands, Jian Chen started to smile and said, “Miss You Yue, if you have no other questions, then I’ll be leaving first.”
You Yue smiled back at him, “That’s fine, I won’t hold you up any longer. I haven’t finished reading my book either, so I’ll be returning to the library. Changyang Xiang Tian, I’ll see you later!”
Soon after, Jian Chen brought his older brother back to his dorm and closed the door as they both walked in. Immediately, Changyang Hu impatiently asked, “Fourth brother, you’ve got to tell me what you did to beat Ka Di Yun, and how strong you really are! It couldn’t only be at the 8th Saint Force layer, you have to be a Saint!” As he spoke, Changyang Hu’s face revealed an impatient, excited face as he waited for an answer.
Jian Chen gently shook his head, “I’m not. Big brother, my actual strength should be not too far away from the 9th Saint Force layer. As for reaching the Saint level, I believe I’m still quite far away from it.”
Changyang Hu looked at him with doubt, “Fourth brother, if you say you haven’t reached the level of a Saint, then how did you beat Ka Di Yun?”
Laughing, Jian Chen replied, “Haha, how did I beat Ka Di Yun? Big brother, did you not see the match clearly?”
Changyang Hu’s head drooped down in embarrassment as he blushed, “That is…er…fourth brother…actually, actually I wasn’t able to see the match all that clearly. Could you please tell your older brother?” Although Changyang Hu had seen the match from start to finish, there were some things that could not be comprehended by eyesight alone. For example, Changyang Hu had not been able to comprehend what happened when Jian Chen struck at Ka Di Yun with a punch that seemed to be as light as a feather, but still managed to significantly damage.
Jian Chen sat on his bed, calmly looked at Changyang Hu, and said, “Big brother, the only reason a student of the 8th layer like me was able to beat a Saint like Ka Di Yun was because I relied on a technique to win.”
“A technique?” Changyang Hu was still skeptical. He was no stranger when it came to techniques and skill, because in the academy, many of the teachers would often talk about their knowledge of their personal techniques. In a fight against equally matched experts, one would need to use extremely strong techniques in order to win, but such techniques weren’t so easy to train in. Even if they did learn the techniques, only those with battle experience would be able to learn and perfect a technique to the point of being able to incorporate it into their fighting styles. What Changyang Hu really confused was that, not only was Jian Chen younger than him, but he has also only been at the academy for a few days now. Changyang Hu couldn’t help but be shocked when he saw that Jian Chen had mastered such a technique.
“Fourth brother, where did you learn a technique like that?” Changyang Hu asked curiously.
Jian Chen shook his head sadly, “Big brother, I can’t tell you that.”
Upon hearing that, Changyang Hu had a look of sorrow on his face. The next thing Jian Chen had said though, brought his spirits back up, “Big brother, if you are willing to learn a martial technique, I can teach you.”
“For real? That’s great! Fourth brother, when can you get started on teaching me? How about now?” He was anxious to get started, and wanted to learn this amazing technique right away. Once he learned the technique, then it was even possible for him to challenge Saints who had condensed their Saint Weapons with his current power!
Jian Chen laughed, “Big brother, it would be better to start tomorrow. I’ll be waiting for you in the eastern grotto outside the academy tomorrow morning.”
“Alright fourth brother, it’s a deal! I’ll be at the grotto tomorrow morning,” Changyang Hu promised. Although many of the academy teachers could help instruct one on learning a martial technique, he knew in his heart that fighting techniques were best taught by the previous generation in a clan. Techniques taught by the professors here would not be strong enough to overwhelm any of his opponents.
Afterwards, the two brothers chatted for a while, until Changyang Hu finally left. Because Jian Chen had used up most of his Saint Force to fight against Ka Di Yun, he was exhausted and slightly injured. Because of that, he decided to use the Class 3 Monster Core in order to recover his health.
