Jiang Chen smiled at him and said, “It’s exactly because I’m not a match for them that I will need to accelerate in the next ten days, isn’t it?”

Without waiting for Liu Wuxin’s response, he said again, “Give up things that could strengthen you because there’s a powerful enemy. Apprentice brother, is that your spirit of martial arts?”

Liu Wuxin was very angry. His eyes were full of fire.

“Anyway, it’s impossible for you to catch up to the Reaching Heaven States in the other superfine classes in ten days.”

“Unbelievable. You gave up your future because of Su Li. Now there’s an opportunity for you to avoid a fight. Are you gonna refuse it and court death instead?”

The disciples behind Liu Wuxin all started to dig into him. They had run out of patience and stopped being polite to him.

“Jiang Chen, you’ve brought great trouble to the east courtyard. Don’t you feel lucky that you’re still as free as a bird?” Liu Wuxin said. His speaking skills were far better than the others.

“Yeah? I don’t think I saw the apprentice brothers here when Su Li swaggered into the east courtyard,” Jiang Chen sneered.

Pah!

Liu Wuxin thumped on the table and stood up. He looked at Jiang Chen, who was still sitting there, and said, “You’re like a hedgehog, just like others said. Do you think no one can deal with you?”

“Well, you can’t.” Jiang Chen also stood up with a scornful expression.

“You—!”

“What are you so proud of? Any of us can beat you up when we achieve the Reaching Heaven State!”

“The worthless Reaching Heaven State, how dare you be so arrogant!”

Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders. Without warning, he launched an attack. He flew through them like a breeze. At the same time, there were slaps coming from them, a lot of slaps. Except for Liu Wuxin, each of them had been slapped.

When they started to feel the pain of the slaps, Jiang Chen was back to where he had been standing originally.

“How dare you yell at me! You’re only a bunch of Mental Wander States. Make the breakthrough now if you have the guts,” Jiang Chen provoked.

“Jiang Chen!” Liu Wuxin gnashed his teeth and shouted. He said, “Yi Qing of the west courtyard failed to control her state not long ago. She broke through to the Reaching Heaven State when she was developing her fourth extraordinary meridian.”

“Yeah?” Jiang Chen didn’t understand why he had brought it up at that moment.

“You came to the east courtyard due to her opposition. I’ll arrange you to have a fight with her in the great competition of the four courtyards!” Liu Wuxin told Jiang Chen his intention.

“Haha, I’m so frightened! What a childish trick.”

Jiang Chen didn’t take it seriously. He laughed and swaggered away.

“Apprentice Brother Liu, he’s too arrogant. Let’s call on other apprentice brothers.”

There were also disciples in the Reaching Heaven State in the east courtyard, but they usually didn’t hang out with these guys.

“Let it go. He’ll suffer in the great competition anyway!” Liu Wuxin didn’t think it was a good idea, since it would catch the Dean’s attention.

Jiang Chen was thinking about the great competition after he was back at his place.

It would decide whether he could enter the Time Palace.

As a Reaching Heaven State, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to take in the spirits of the universe to make up for the late stage of the Mental Wander State that he had skipped. The development of the extraordinary meridians was more important. It would take more time.

He wouldn’t have had to rush if he could forget about Ning Haotian. It was much faster for a Reaching Heaven State to develop the extraordinary meridians than those geniuses of the Sacred Institute who were holding their states down intentionally.

Ten days passed rapidly. Jiang Chen couldn’t go to the practicing room every day anymore. He could only go there once a week.

In this way, he had almost no practice plans. The east courtyard didn’t make any new arrangements for him, either.

Or to put it another way, at that moment he didn’t need any arrangements.

He had passed all of the monthly tests of the superfine class, and he was already in the Reaching Heaven State.

It’s time.

Jiang Chen looked towards the wall where he had written his three goals. He laid his eyes on the first line.

Look for herbs!

He changed his clothes and left the Sacred Institute with Whitty.

At the same time, some higher-ups were visiting Shi Gandang in the Dean’s office.

“Dean, elders, what brings you here?”

Shi Gandang was surprised. These people were from the Hall of Heroes. Usually they wouldn’t come to the Sacred Institute.

“Wu Qi paid us a visit.”

Their leader was a gray-haired old man, even older than Nan Gong.

Shi Gandang grunted and realized what they had come for.

Wu Qi was the dean of the south courtyard. As Shi Wengong had said, he had gone to the Hall of Heroes to snitch on Shi Gandang.

“We’re here for two things. First, you’ll be dismissed from the post of Dean of the east courtyard,” the dean said.

Shi Gandang became agitated and said, “That’s too much!”

“It’s not because of Su Li and Wu Qi. You have such an excellent disciple as Jiang Chen in the east courtyard, but he was wasted under your nose,” an elder said.

Shi Gandang was speechless. He sat back into his chair helplessly and said, “I told him, but he broke through to the Reaching Heaven State without telling me anything about it. No one would have known if he hadn’t gotten into a fight.”

“You told him?” The Dean was surprised.

“Yes. I warned him seriously. I told him to develop his Eight Extraordinary Meridians first. I told him about all of the benefits, but he thinks himself clever enough to work out a way to develop the Eight Extraordinary Meridians in the Reaching Heaven State. What can I do?” Shi Gandang said helplessly.

“He told you he knew how to develop the Eight Extraordinary Meridians in the Reaching Heaven State?” the Dean and other elders exchanged looks and asked very seriously.

“Yes.”

Shi Gandang was astonished. He said in surprise, “Dean, do you really think he can?”

“We’ll observe him. We’ll wait until the great competition of the four courtyards. If his performance is only mediocre by then, you’ll be dismissed. Otherwise, you know what will happen.” The dean smiled when he had finished speaking.

“Hey, the son of a b*tch and I are in the same boat,” Shi Gandang said in surprise.

Jiang Chen was walking in the Sacred City and having the same problem that he had thought about on his first day there. He didn’t know where to go without a guide.

He had thought about finding one in the Sacred Institute, but he was in such a difficult position that no one wanted to make friends with him.

At that time, he was running around like a headless chicken in the Sacred City.

“My friend, your mount is really handsome. What monster is it?”

“Could you sell it to me?”

“It looks intelligent.”

To his surprise, Whitty had attracted many people’s attention. Wherever he went, there were people chatting him up and asking about Whitty. Some even offered to buy him.

Every time Whitty heard people offering to buy him, he would look at Jiang Chen in a pitiful manner. His blue eyes could made people’s hearts break.

He was wasting his energy, since of course, Jiang Chen wouldn’t sell him, but through small talk with those people, Jiang Chen had decided his destination.

There was a bustling street in the Sacred City where one could find whatever they wanted, but of course, they had to have enough money.

Jiang Chen came to Sacred Martial Arts Street and found everyone there looked wealthy. The shops on either side of the street were richly decorated.

“Wow, what a big cat!” suddenly, a girl saw Whitty and exclaimed exaggeratedly. She squatted down to pet him.

Whitty was used to it. He dodged by stepping back.

“Miss, this is a mount, not a pet,” Jiang Chen said.

“Mount or pet, I want it. How much?”
