Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman-Chapter 398 - 397, A Master from the Wanderer’s Ancient Martial Faction Comes to Challenge_1

Chapter 398: Chapter 397, A Master from the Wanderer’s Ancient Martial Faction Comes to Challenge_1
Jiang Chen gained Realization of another Skill. With the lessons learned previously, he fused his Magic Power into the sword blade, condensing it without releasing, waiting for the right moment to strike.
CLANG...
It was close-quarters combat again.
But this time was different; countless minute Sword Auras appeared on Jiang Chen’s sword blade. These Sword Auras rapidly shot out toward He Qiu’s chest...
[Sword Qi · Break] Skill activated.
The Sword Auras carved countless wounds on He Qiu’s body, causing him to lose his grip on his sword, which fell to the ground. He Qiu looked at Jiang Chen in terror.
How can this man be so formidable?
Jiang Chen said, "You lost."
"I lost."
"You may leave."
"You’re not killing me?"
"Do you want me to kill you?"
"Uh..."
Jiang Chen turned and walked away, leaving behind a regretful He Qiu.
Nangong Xin sighed, "This guy is indeed strong. That He Qiu already possessed Third-stage True Qi and was impeccable in close combat, yet he still lost."
"Grandpa, I don’t see what’s so great about him!" a girl nearby, Nangong Shuang, scoffed.
"It’s not about ’being great’; he’s training himself to better control the power of the Badge. By challenging various experts, he wishes to grow stronger, especially in hand-to-hand combat."
"Grandpa, I want to challenge him."
"You’re not his match."
"That He Qiu fellow? I could make him kneel with one move."
Nangong Xin nodded. "I believe you. But that Swordsman could kill He Qiu with just one move, do you believe that?"
"That strong?"
"Very strong."
Nangong Shuang watched Jiang Chen’s departing figure, clenching her small fist.
Dong Fang Unbeaten, I will definitely defeat you.
Jiang Chen looked back at Nangong Shuang on the city wall.
Such a strong will to fight. This woman must be related to that old man!
Nangong Xin said with a smile, "A truly strong master can perceive the fighting intent emanating from others. It’s a good thing you don’t have killing intent; otherwise, the next time he acts, it would be your time to die."
"It’s just a coincidence, surely."
"Then why didn’t he look at anyone else, only paying attention to you?"
"That’s because I’m beautiful. I’ve heard that men in the Continent of All-Gods are all lecherous."
Jiang Chen was not having it.
Who is she talking about! I’m not that kind of person. Who says Wanderers can’t have beautiful women, or women with large chests? Clearly, this woman is just that!
That day, several more people came to challenge him, all of them Third-stage or Fourth-stage masters. Jiang Chen turned no one away, defeating each one that came, whether singly or in pairs.
This time, Jiang Chen made significant progress. His Realization about combat and understanding of the Badge, especially from fighting against Wanderers, allowed him to grow significantly. Previously, he would simply use whatever Skills he possessed as they were.
But now it was different. Jiang Chen could fully utilize the power of the Badge, no longer merely using or releasing Skills. The Badge was no longer just an external artifact; with the same Skills, Jiang Chen could now condense their power, holding it at the ready.
[Sword Storm Single Skill: Launches a Sword Aura forward, and the enemy hit will suffer 1,000 Sword Qi Storm attacks...]
This is the skill description for Jiang Chen’s Blade Storm.
Now, it wasn’t just about simply releasing Skills. He could concentrate Magic Power on his sword blade and, upon piercing an enemy, simultaneously launch a Blade Storm attack.
The same was true for his other Skills. Just like the Wanderers, he could condense True Qi on his sword blade and, when striking an enemy, deploy a True Qi Attack, thereby internally damaging the enemy’s organs.
This was the primary feature of True Qi and the reason the Hero’s Continent feared the Wanderers. The Wanderers’ True Qi could ignore defenses, directly attacking the enemy from the inside.
「Night fell...」
Jiang Chen lay on his bed.
A group of black-clad figures moved swiftly, quickly reaching Jiang Chen’s door. One of them took out a tube, pierced the window, and was about to try and knock Jiang Chen out from outside with some kind of smoke.
But in the next second, a Sword Aura slashed through the air, instantly killing the attacker.
The faces of the remaining two changed drastically, and they didn’t hesitate to flee.
However, at the next moment, two Sword Auras burst through the window, catching up with the enemies and instantly killing them.
THUD. THUD.
The two bodies fell to the ground.
Li Chanji quickly emerged from her room, looked at the black-clad figures, and then glanced at Jiang Chen.
"Someone tried to ambush you?"
Jiang Chen nodded.
They don’t even let people sleep at night. What’s with the knockout smoke this late? Do they really think I was asleep?
Jinhua squatted down and looked at one of the black-clad figures. There was an obvious mark on the neck.
Seeing the mark, Jinhua frowned. "They are from Qingyi Building."
"What is Qingyi Building?"
Jinhua explained, "It’s a mysterious organization. Qingyi Building has twelve floors, and the leader of each floor is called a Building Lord. There are twelve Building Lords in total."
"Who are they?"
Jinhua shook her head. "I don’t know who the Building Lords are; they are very secretive and extremely powerful. Their organization is an assassination group, targeting Wanderers, Heroes from the Continent of All-Gods, and masters from the Difiled God Camp."
"It is said that every Building Lord is a master above the Seventh-stage."
Li Chanji frowned deeply. "Dong Fang Unbeaten, it seems you’re in trouble."
"They’re planning to assassinate me?"
"It’s very likely they want to kidnap you. Your identity has been exposed. They must know that the Potion is in your hands, so they’re planning to kidnap you to get it."
Wanderers are a group of people cursed by the Evil God, each bearing a mark on their foreheads. There are only two ways to remove the curse mark: one is to join the Continent of All-Gods, and the other is to cultivate to a certain Realm and erase the mark oneself. Those who can erase their own marks are few and far between.
Jiang Chen wondered to himself.
How was I discovered so quickly? I haven’t done anything! On reflection, my identity must have been deduced after I handed over the Potion to Ba Jie.
Jiang Chen said, "I’ll be careful."
"Be very careful. If a Building Lord takes action... each one is a master above the Seventh-stage with mysterious and unfathomable Cultivation Techniques."
Jiang Chen returned to his room.
「Three days later...」
Jiang Chen had experienced dozens of battles, big and small, and had thoroughly understood the capabilities of the Badges. He could use various Skills as easily as Wanderers used True Qi.
At this time, many masters had also emerged. Ranked fourth, Lin Gongnan; fifth, Zhang Mozhi; and Iron Fist, ranked third, had all arrived. These were the famed masters of the young generation.
Lin Gongnan watched Jiang Chen defeat another opponent, saying, "This man is very strong. His movement technique, speed, and reaction time are all top-notch, and he has a very strong Perception of danger."
Iron Fist nodded. "You’re right. Whatever move the opponent tries, he’s able to predict it. He seems to have foresight, not at all like those ordinary cultivators from the Hero’s camp."
"Enough talk. Who will challenge him? You, Lin Gongnan? Iron Fist? Or me?" Zhang Mozhi asked quietly.
Lin Gongnan smiled. "Are you interested too?"
Zhang Mozhi did not speak but stepped forward. "Dong Fang Unbeaten, I, Zhang Mozhi, have come to challenge you."
The others exclaimed.
"Zhang Mozhi is here!"
"He’s ranked fifth among the masters and is known to have cultivated Ten Thousand Things to an extremely high Realm!"
"This man is a master from the Ancient Martial Faction!"
"The Ten Thousand Things Transformation is very difficult to cultivate; I wonder how many layers he has mastered?"
"Next to him is Iron Fist, and there’s Lin Gongnan, both top-ranked masters!"
"I wonder if Sword Heart, the number one, has arrived?"
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Good."
Zhang Mozhi said, "I heard that before you make a move, you always allow your opponent three moves. How about I allow you three moves?"
Showing off in front of me? Buddy, are you qualified!?
