Chapter 2253: Resentment
After Han Xin left, Bai Yu looked at Jian Chen in admiration. Perhaps due to being overly excited, her face was completely red.
Junior brother... no, senior brother, I never thought you would actually defeat Wen Cheng. Youre far too powerful, far too outstanding. From today onwards, youre my second senior brother, Bai Yu clung onto Jian Chens arm and said happily. She failed to notice that as she hugged him, Jian Chens arm was wedged between her breasts.
Senior brother, tell me quickly how you defeated Wen Cheng. You have to teach me so that I can also beat him up the next time I see him, Bai Yu looked at Jian Chen hopefully with her large, bright eyes. They were filled with eagerness and anticipation.
Werent you outside the ring back then, junior sister? You clearly saw how I defeated Wen Cheng, Jian Chen smiled bitterly as he broke free from Bai Yus grasp rather awkwardly.
It was also at this moment that Bai Yu suddenly realised Jian Chens arm was touching a forbidden region of a woman. It made her face redden slightly, and she immediately let go of Jian Chens arm. Afterwards, she said in annoyance, I dont care. You have to teach me. I want to learn your trick of controlling Radiant Saint Force, or... or I wont let you go. With that, Bai Yu spread out her hands and blocked Jian Chens way. It seemed like she would not let Jian Chen leave unless he agreed.
Jian Chen felt helpless as he looked at Bai Yu. He said, Alright, alright, alright. Ill do my best to teach you. Junior Bai Yu, I need to go heal first, so can you let me return? Jian Chen pointed at the bloody clothes he wore before casually glancing at the distance.
He looked at a place ridden with bushes and weeds. The first senior brother of the Soaring Clouds Peak, Zhuo Feng, hid there silently under the cover of the vegetation with his presence completely concealed. Looking at how Bai Yu treated Jian Chen with so much familiarity, his handsome face completely sank while his gaze towards Jian Chen was filled with deep hatred and envy.
Bastard. Wen Cheng is useless. How did he lose to the hands of Chang Yang, who only has a one-colored soulcore? To think that even I, the mighty first senior brother of the Soaring Clouds Peak with a three-colored soulcore had been injured by Wen Cheng, yet Wen Cheng just happened to lose against Chang Yang who has a one-colored soulcore. Doesnt that mean Im nowhere near as great as a Radiant Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore?
What will the seniors and brothers of the other peaks think of me?
Zhuo Fengs anger grew the more he thought about it. His face became terrifyingly sunken. He clenched his fists tightly as his nails had plunged into his skin deeply.
The person who had defeated him, Wen Cheng, actually lost to the person who he never took seriously, Chang Yang, under everyones gazes. It made Zhuo Feng feel like he was a joke.
Coupled with how dependent Bai Yu seemed after Chang Yangs glorious victory, Zhuo Feng felt even more furious. He began to hate Jian Chen as a result.
By now, Jian Chen had returned to his dwelling. He tidied up the messy place again before casting down a simple, low-level formation at the entrance. Then he sat down in the centre of the dwelling.
He did not heal the injury on his chest. He needed no intentional healing at all when dealing with such a small wound thanks to the automatic regeneration of his Chaotic Body.
Not only have my senses greatly increase after my soul fused with the strand of Chaotic Force, but I can also sense the laws of the world with even greater clarity. Even the Radiant Saint Force I control seems to be rather different. It has become much more powerful.
Moreover, my almost perfect usage of Radiant Saint Force doesnt seem to be completely caused by the strength of my soul. I feel like it has something to do with what happened to my soul, Jian Chen recalled every detail of his battle against Wen Cheng as he sank into his thoughts for a very long time.
He still had not completely understood how significant the changes were after his soul had fused with a sliver of true Chaotic Force. He did not know what unique abilities it had brought him or even whether it would leave behind any problems.
After the fusion of the twin swords, the sword spirits had fallen into a slumber. He was unable to awaken them no matter what, so Jian Chen could only give up on the thought of asking them about it.
Three days later, Jian Chen emerged from the dwelling. He made his way to the top of the mountain as he basked in bright light. He saw Han Xin who had spent most of his time in seclusion.
Han Xins face was still rather pale. Clearly, he was quite injured, where he failed to make a complete recovery after several days even with his abilities as a Radiant Godking.
Chang Yang, I witnessed your entire battle against Wen Chen the other day. Your grasp and usage of Radiant Saint Force has amazed me. Moreover, I can that tell your experience in battle is extremely plentiful as well. You must have gone through many dangerous trials before you joined the Radiant Saint Hall. It is my honour to have such an outstanding student like you... Han Xin was extremely amiable. He praised Jian Chen fiercely at the beginning before passing on some Radiant Artes of an even higher grade to Jian Chen.
In the end, Han Xin even went as far as to invoke the Laws of the Hallowed for Jian Chen personally. He hoped that Jian Chen could become a Hallowed Saint Master sooner.
Jian Chen closed his eyes as he began to comprehend Han Xins Laws of the Hallowed seriously. Although he had already comprehended the Laws of the Hallowed, his comprehension of the laws remained at a rudimentary level.
On the other hand, Han Xins comprehension of the Laws of the Hallowed had already reached Godking. As a result, the Laws of the Hallowed invoked by Han Xin would still bring much assistance to Jian Chen.
Several hours later, Jian Chen slowly opened his eyes. He saw that Han Xin had already stopped invoking the laws long ago. Currently, he sat before Jian Chen as he looked at him with shining eyes. His eyes were filled with anticipation.
Chang Yang, how did your comprehension go? Han Xin asked.
I managed to benefit somewhat.
Han Xin nodded in satisfaction, Becoming a Hallowed Saint Master is definitely not something that can be accomplished in a single day. Chang Yang, cultivate well. I hope you can become a Hallowed Saint Master when you have a two-colored soulcore.
Sir, what about becoming a Hallowed Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore? Jian Chen asked.
Becoming a Hallowed Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore? Hahaha... Han Xin broke out into laughter. He pointed at Jian Chen and said, Chang Yang, what are you thinking? Do you think the Laws of the Hallowed are that easy to comprehend? I want you to become a Hallowed Saint Master when you have a two-colored soulcore because I have extremely high hopes for you. Its best if you dont even think about becoming a Hallowed Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore.
Is comprehending the Laws of the Hallowed with a one-colored soulcore really that difficult? Jian Chen asked.
Its not just difficult. Chang Yang, do you know when was the last time a prodigy became a Hallowed Saint Master when they had a one-colored soulcore? Before Jian Chen could reply, Han Xin answered his own question, Ill tell you. It was over a million years ago.
Our Radiant Saint Hall is able to accept many disciples every year, so who knows how many have been accepted over a million years. Many prodigies with monstrous talents will appear within them, but there hasnt been a single disciple among them who has managed to comprehend the Laws of the Hallowed with a one-colored soulcore. Now, do you understand just how difficult it is to become a Hallowed Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore?
I understand, Jian Chen clasped his fist towards Han Xin.
Han Xin exhaled deeply and looked at Jian Chen with brimming interest. He said sternly, However, if you really do comprehend the Laws of the Hallowed and become a Hallowed Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore, youll immediately become the Chosen Saint. There will be no need for a selection at all. Youll become a figure of great prestige in the Radiant Saint Hall, where the Radiant Saint Hall will nurture you unconditionally for the next millennia.
Even if there is a new Chosen Saint, youll be able to stand on equal grounds or even surpass them with your potential alone if you become a Hallowed Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore. The resources you will be able to use will be even greater than what the Chosen Saint has access to.
Chang Yang, although becoming a Hallowed Saint Master with a one-colored soulcore is extremely difficult, do your best to achieve it if you really can succeed.
