“Kalpa of Reincarnation!”

Jiang Chen didn’t show any mercy. Combining the four movements of the

dragons’ martial arts techniques in one, he waved his fists.

His arms were like swimming dragons. The energy emitted from his fists was

s.h.i.+ning with golden radiance. Combining with the sparkling thunder, it

suddenly exploded.

The Martial Venerable disciples of the Tianyi School were panicked. No

matter what kind of movements they had exerted, under the fist radiance as

strong as sunlight, they felt helpless.

Since their breakthrough to Venerable, this was the first time they’d felt

themselves so small.

At the same time, Jiang Chen removed his disguise. Those who hadn’t

noticed this detail thought it was another person.

Four Martial Venerable disciples of the Tianyi School were hit off the ground.

They screamed and fell heavily. Their bodies almost fell apart.

“Now, remember my name — Jiang Chen.”

After having removed the disguise, Jiang Chen looked even sharper. His

black eyes were freezing cold.

“He’s so handsome!”

Seeing Jiang Chen’s real face, the girl’s eyes lit up. She was very excited.

Giving the pretty woman next to her a glimpse, she thought they could make a

good couple.

Of course, she didn’t dare to speak it out.

Plus Xu Guan, there were five Martial Venerable disciples of the Tianyi School

lying on the ground.

This youngster called Jiang Chen was only in the preliminary stage of Martial

Venerable.

The bystanders suddenly found Jiang Chen had gone. They couldn’t find him

anywhere.

By then Jiang Chen had been out of the Water Dragon City. He was about to

leave.

Familiar with how these big schools ran things, he knew if he stayed in the

city, Spiritual Venerables or even Celestial Venerables would come to teach

him a lesson soon.

The Shangguans were another ticking time bomb. He had to go.

“Brother, can we talk?”

Before Jiang Chen set out, the pretty woman and the girl came up to him.

The girl was smiling. She had two dimples on each side of her cheeks.

Jiang Chen felt the way the girl had called him a bit odd. It wasn’t because

she had called him brother, but because of her tone.

But he didn’t think she had any bad intention, so he didn’t take it seriously.

However, the pretty woman glanced at the girl, as if she was warning the

latter. Then looking towards Jiang Chen, she said, “We’re leaving the Water

Dragon City as well to prepare for the Great Compet.i.tion of Three Realms. If

you don’t mind, we can travel together.”

“Of course I don’t,” Jiang Chen said.

“It’ll also be convenient for me to give you back the extra yuan stones and the

spiritual storage ware,” the pretty woman added, afraid he would

misunderstand her.

Jiang Chen shook his head, smiling. He didn’t think it a big deal.

Then he got informed of the pretty woman’s name, Tang s.h.i.+ya.

The girl had the same family name. She was called Tang Ru’er.

Jiang Chen also told them his name. They didn’t ask for each other’s

background, as if it was a tacit understanding.

During the talk with them, Jiang Chen got to know there were 108 cities in all

in the center area of the Realm of True Force, which covered a vast s.p.a.ce.

Only few of the 108 cities belonged to only one force. Most of them were

governed by schools, aristocratic families and the dynasty together.

The Flying Feather City was governed by these organizations in turn as well.

The Great Compet.i.tion of Three Realms would be held in the Holy Martial Arts

City. The name of the city already told it was the center of the center area.

The three headed for the Holy Martial Arts City.

On their way, Tang Ru’er’s animated nature helped to create a harmonious

atmosphere.

Jiang Chen told them he was from the lower realms and he had come here

specifically to take part in the Great Compet.i.tion of Three Realms.

Tang s.h.i.+ya and Tang Ru’er weren’t surprised at all.

Jiang Chen got to know more about the center area, too. It wasn’t the 108

cities that had made the center area, but the reverse.

There were endless resources and treasures that hadn’t been excavated in

this area. Every force wanted to have a finger in the pie.

One hundred and eight cities didn’t seem a lot, but the area they covered was

even bigger than the whole Dragon Field of the Realm of Nine Heavens.

So it was a long way to travel to the Holy Martial Arts City.

At the same time, a piece of news spread out of the Flying Feather City and

the Water Dragon City. It caused some discussions in the center area.

It was said a young swordsman from the lower realms was on a rampage. He

killed the Third Young Master of the Shangguans as soon as he arrived in the

Realm of True Force.

People heard through the grapevine that he had even killed a Spiritual

Venerable.

And it had been confirmed it was the same swordsman who had defeated Xu

Guan and other four Venerable disciples of the Tianyi School in the Water

Dragon City.

In other words, a solo swordsman challenged the Tianyi School, one of the

top ten schools, and feuded with the Shangguans.

It created a big uproar. The news spread fast.

Jiang Chen hadn’t arrived in the Holy Martial Arts City, but the local people

there were already talking about him.

The Shangguans had offered a bounty. Anyone who caught Jiang Chen, dead

or alive, would get a rich reward.

Jiang Chen knew nothing about this. He was still on the way to the Holy

Martial Arts City with the two women.

At this moment, they were talking about the Great Compet.i.tion of Three

Realms.

It was impossible to make such a big event, in which the young Venerables

from the Realm of Nine Heavens, the Realm of Milky and the Realm of True

Force gathered, happen without attractive prizes.

But in fact, the winner wouldn’t get any prize.

Because the winner will get a chance to go to the Three Middle Realms.

Forces from the Three Middle Realms would come to recruit excellent

disciples by then.

The training these forces would offer these young people would be amazing.

People from the Realm of Nine Heavens and the Realm of Milky were eager

to start a life in the Realm of True Force. In the same way, the young people

in the Realm of True Force were also eager to go to the Three Middle

Realms.

As to why, it was very simple — because a great s.h.i.+p asks deep water.

If you didn’t go while others did, the huge gap between you would make you

regret when they came back.

Not until then did Jiang Chen know about this. He suddenly realized why his

father wanted him to take part in the Great Compet.i.tion of Three Realms.

Comparing with traveling to the Three Middle Realms precipitately, winning

the compet.i.tion was a more plausible way to go there.

“But I’ve heard it’s not the only reason the compet.i.tion is held,” Tang s.h.i.+ya

suddenly said.

“Yeah?”

“How would the Sacred Martial Arts Inst.i.tute spend so much time and so

many efforts just to send talented people to the Three Middle Realms? It

obviously doesn’t make any sense. It’s said it has something to do with the

Azure Gang,” Tang Ru’er said.

“Azure Gang?”

Jiang Chen was struck dumb, because he noticed Azure Demon, one of the

eight groups of spiritual beings, had reacted strongly at the mention of that.

“The Azure Gang used to be the most powerful gang in the Realm of Milky.

Even the Sacred Inst.i.tute couldn’t subdue them. The gang leader Old Demon

of Azure Cloud was very ambitious. Unhappy with the governing of the Realm

of The Realm of True Force, he led a big army to travel to the Realm of True

Force through the planes’ channel, intending to attack it.”

“However, at the crucial moment, Old Demon of Azure Cloud was set up by

the man he trusted most. In this way, he failed. The army of the Azure Gang

was also eliminated in the Realm of True Force.”

“The thing is the strategic resources and the weapons of the army all

mysteriously disappeared.”

“It’s said Old Demon of Azure Cloud hid everything where he would be buried

before his death. It’s called Azure Cloud's Hidden Treasure.”

In this way, Jiang Chen got to know such an anecdote from Tang Ru’er.

Jiang Chen nodded. Putting his hand on the eight groups of spiritual beings,

he said, “Azure Demon, is this Azure Gang…?”

“Exactly. It’s the force I was in,” Azure Demon interrupted him. He sounded

pretty disturbed.

“Are you Old Demon of Azure Cloud?”

“No. That’s my father. My name is Azure Demon.”
