Gao Tiange lowered his head under the reproach. As soon as he calmed down a little, he would realize how childish he had been to refute it.

He glanced at Jiang Chen and walked away, then he looked towards the Gaos with shame. He didn’t even dare make eye contact with them.

People also looked in the same direction. They laid their eyes on Fang Yi without hesitation.

If nothing unexpected happened, Fang Yi would apologize to Jiang Chen.

Many people were excited about it. Fang Yi had offended quite a few people in the Sacred City. They hadn’t spoken out only due to their fear of the Gaos.

And at this moment someone would help them vent their anger. That was something worth celebrating.

“This doesn’t mean he’s stronger than my son!”

Fang Yi was still trying to defend her pride. She was unwilling to lower her head or admit her son’s failure. She said, “If they had another fight, my son would probably win.”

She was as unwilling as Gao Tiange to accept the result. She would never agree to what Shi Wengong had said.

The other members of the Gaos could accept failure better than her. They felt humiliated that so many people were looking at them weirdly.

However, they didn’t dare blame Fang Yi. Otherwise, she would give trouble for it.

“If you insist, from my observations, with Jiang Chen’s performance, he could defeat your son even if they have another ten, or even a hundred, fights.”

The outsiders didn’t buy it at all.

What Fang Yi had said wasn’t in the spirit of martial arts. It had irritated many people.

The one who had spoken was a man in his early thirties. He was wearing white and looked majestic. He held a giant knife that didn’t look like it belonged to him.

“That’s Wan Yekong. He’s ranked on List A of the Dragon Rise List,” some recognized him and exclaimed. One’s identity would decide how much their opinion mattered. What he had said garnered many people’s agreement.

“Nonsense. How could my son be so weak?” Fang Yi refuted.

Wan Yekong closed his eyes slightly. He didn’t want to argue with an arrogant woman.

“Jiang Chen has mastered being an integral part of nature. His creation of nature and martial arts techniques are the best among the disciples of the Sacred Institute,” someone else said. People looked over right away.

“Su Shutian, ranked on both List A of the Dragon Rise List and the List of Fame,” people exclaimed again. Su Shutian hadn’t said Gao Tiange was worse than Jiang Chen, but at the mention of the creation of nature and martial arts techniques, what he was implying became quite clear.

“The creation of nature and martial arts techniques?!”

It was known that Jiang Chen was a successor to the doctrine of sword, but if Su Shutian hadn’t mentioned the creation of nature and martial arts techniques, few people would have found out.

“So what?! My son has the blood of the phoenix. It’s not his concern at all.” Fang Yi was still unwilling to accept the defeat, and she was forgetting herself more and more.

Su Shutian shook his head and stopped speaking.

“Mother.”

Gao Tiange regretted what he had said. It would be better for him to admit his defeat directly. If he continued like this, he was afraid he would become a joke.

“I lost!” he said loudly.

“Son, don’t be afraid. You haven’t lost. You have the blood of the phoenix. They’re only ignorant people!” Fang Yi said.

People saw Gao Tiange on the verge of tears.

“Why don’t you both exert your most powerful movement and see what happens?”

One mediator proposed a lousy idea that was quite unpleasant to others. The result was an undeniable fact to them; they didn’t need any further proof.

If they allowed it this time, in the future, everyone who lost could claim they still had a unique movement that they hadn’t exerted yet. In this way, all fight results would become useless.

“Yeah, Jiang Chen, if you’re really that great, you won’t be afraid of another fight! If you win again, I’ll apologize to you.” Fang Yi seized the chance right away. She was an annoying person, but she was cunning.

“This fight is being held by the Sacred Institute. The results have come out. The Gaos don’t get to make decisions here!” Shi Wengong said unhappily.

Not until then did people recall that Shi Wengong had already announced the result, although Fang Yi had still argued with others.

“Dean of Students, in case any ignorant people question your decision, please allow me to have another fight with him to shut them up,” said Jiang Chen.

If Jiang Chen had directly requested to have another fight, Shi Wengong, who was already pissed off, would become extremely angry.

But that was the art of speaking. Shi Wengong looked slightly relieved when he heard Jiang Chen, and he nodded in affirmation.

“You asked for it!”

Gao Tiange was eager to prove himself, too. Since Jiang Chen had made the request himself, it was the best situation for him.

The two both stepped back. The result of the competition would be decided by one movement.

“Jiang Chen doesn’t have to do this.”

“It’s natural for him to do so. No dignified people would accept Fang Yi’s ignorance.”

“My concern is, if it’s a tie, even if Jiang Chen is at an advantage, Fang Yi still won’t give up.”

After the mischief caused by Fang Yi, Jiang Chen had won a lot of supporters. This was unexpected to her, but she didn’t have the time to think about it at that moment. She was busy staring at the platform.

“Fire Phoenix Burns the Plain Up.”

Gao Tiange cherished this chance. He made an all-out attack that sent fire skyward.

“Fire and Sword Turn into One!”

With a strike, the flame and the light of the sword merged together into a sword of fire. It turned the sky red.

“The Sword Method of Ksana: The First Movement!”

On the other hand, Jiang Chen exerted the same movement as he did previously. This time, everyone was focusing on his movement, hoping they could see through its mystery.

The elders of the Sacred Institute who had rescued Gao Tiange paid extremely close attention to it, trying to figure it out.

If they tried to rescue Gao Tiange again, would they be able to be quicker than Jiang Chen’s sword?

However, as soon as they had this thought, Jiang Chen’s sword was moving faster than the last time. The wild wind created by the sword extinguished the fire immediately.

Then Jiang Chen put his sword at Gao Tiange’s throat once again.

In comparison, Gao Tiange’s sword attack hadn’t even touched Jiang Chen’s clothes.

Gao Tiange had lost again!

This result matched many people’s expectations. They looked towards Fang Yi again.

“It doesn’t count. He had no way to dodge...” Fang Yi still refused to accept the defeat.

“You want your son’s opponent to stay there still and wait for your son’s attack?!”

She was interrupted by a loud, thunder-like voice that gave everyone a scare.

A man landed from the sky.

“Piercing Cloud the Venerable!”

It caused a stir. Members of all groups stood up to show their respect.

As did the Gaos. Gao Ke was the first to stand up. Senior Sky glanced at Fang Yi with blame and hurried to say, “The Venerable, calm down. Fang Yi is only average when it comes to martial arts techniques. She doesn’t understand the fight rules.”

“Don’t you understand, either? Why haven’t you stopped her?” Piercing Cloud the Venerable reproached him seriously.

“We admit our defeat. We have been entirely convinced,” Gao Ke said.

“Huh.”

Piercing Cloud the Venerable looked calmer. He disappeared suddenly. No one was able to find any trace of him.

The local people weren’t surprised. Everyone knew Piercing Cloud the Venerable had a strong sense of justice. He liked to meddle in the business of others frequently. Such a character was guaranteed to be annoying, but his strength had won him respect.

“Since you’ve admitted your defeat, shouldn’t you do what you promised?”

Jiang Chen took the Redcloud Sword back and looked towards the Gaos.

The Gaos turned pale. They all looked towards Fang Yi.

Even Piercing Cloud the Venerable had stepped in, so Fang Yi finally stopped arguing. She stood up and said, “I apologize for what I said.”

But Jiang Chen wouldn’t let go of her so easily. He asked, “What did you say?”
