Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch. 144 - The Meeting of the Moon Goddess

While waiting for the day of departure with Jin Taeso, Fu Chen chose to reflect on his recent actions. Dou Huang often said that if he was too bloodthirsty, he did not argue because he felt it himself.

Fu Chen was too light to take one's life, warriors would usually feel burdened after taking a human life but not with Fu Chen.

Fu Chen spent the entire day under the trunk of the tree he had first visited. The young man occasionally observed the soldiers who were training. In addition, he can also hear information from the conversations of those around him.

The days changed, the moment that Jin Taeso's entourage would cross the border soon arrived. For several days Fu Chen had only been meditating while stabilizing the qi in his body.

Fu Chen had reached the level of a peak stage Combatant General and as Dou Huang had said, the step to enter the next level would be different.

When Fu Chen returned to enjoying the training of the young soldiers in his usual place, he found a new face that looked quite familiar.The young man looked to be 18 to 20 years old, he said, yet the ability he displayed was equivalent to an early stage Combat General.

Compared to other warriors, the ability of the young man was very prominent, besides the techniques used were also quite different.

Fu Chen tried to remember when he had met the young man. But Fu Chen's gaze was immediately fixated when he found a girl emitting a chill not far from the man.

The girl was sitting under a tree trunk while in the guard of several soldiers, now Fu Chen's memory was increasingly clear of the two people.

"The body that radiated coldness and the youth that was always with him.." Fu Chen thought for a moment, he recalled a pair of youths as he was ordering a robe in the Capital first.

"The condition of her body is exactly the same as described in the Book of Gods Raga. I was not aware of this before but the girl had the body of the Moon Goddess." Fu Chen was pensive, the book of God Raga explained that the body would fully rise when it was 20 years old.

The power that will rise will only be a catastrophe if the owner of the body cannot control it.

Fu Chen had the intention to hand over the book of God Raga to the pair of youths, but did not find the best way or the two youths would suspect him.

"I know it's none of my business, but I'd feel guilty if something bad was going to happen." Fu Chen sighed softly.

Meanwhile General Jia Lu who felt amazed by the development of Meng Tian wanted to find an opponent who was suitable for him. Among the young swordsmen he had seen, there were few whose abilities rivaled Meng Tian's. However, General Jia Lu was also aware of the reason why Meng Tian had always trained his cultivation.

But lately General Jia Lu had found a very attractive young man, he had been observing the young man for a few days. The young man had the composure to the point where General Jia Lu could not read the young man.

He even felt an aura that made him want to lower his head when faced with the young man.

Luckily the young man was still in his usual place. General Jia Lu intended to invite the young man to practice his match with Meng Tian.

"Young man, you're still relaxing as usual." General Jia Lu approached a young man who was sheltering under a tree.

Fu Chen opened his eyes when he noticed that someone was approaching. He quickly stood up and bowed to pay his respects.

"Good morning general." Fu Chen greeted while smiling gently.

"Young man, I feel like there's something different about you today." General Jia Lu observed Fu Chen from top to bottom, the aura in the body of this young man was much more stable than before.

Fu Chen only smiled gently in reply, the change in aura of his was signaling his cultivation was going well.

Fu Chen's gaze then met the young man who had been staring at Fu Chen with a frown. General Jia Lu who noticed it immediately introduced the young man.

"Have you met before?" General Jia Lu felt as if there was something else on the minds of the two young men.

Meng Tian had only introduced herself as Tian, she did not want her identity to be known to the public for now. Meng Tian could remember Fu Chen clearly because it was this young man who had helped him first.

"Old not meet." Meng Tian extended his hand.

Fu Chen then greeted Meng Tian's hand and shook his hand, "You too…"

"Forget over that matter. General Jia Lu, what made you come to me?" ask Fu Chen.

General Jia Lu coughed softly, he was quite surprised if Meng Tian ever interacted with a stranger because all this time Meng Tian was quite reclusive.

"Alright, since you already know each other so I won't explain at length. I was just looking for a match opponent for junior Tian, I had a little trouble because in my army only a few reached the fighting general."

Although he was unsure of Fu Chen's cultivation level yet he was certain this young man was a fitting opponent for Meng Tian.

Fu Chen only raised his brows for a moment, he glanced at Meng Tian and looked at the young man as if confirming General Jia Lu's remark. Perhaps this would be a good reason to hand over the book of Lord Raga.

Meng Tian who saw the doubt in Fu Chen's eyes immediately spoke up, "just calm down, I will compensate. How many young warriors would you like?"

Fu Chen only chuckled softly at her, "I'm sorry senior but I don't need your money, it's just that there's something I want to make sure of."

"really? What'sthat?" Meng Tian was a little surprised.

"I think we can talk about it later." Fu Chen smiled gently, he would say his request after training a match.

The two then headed for the field that the soldiers used to train. The two young men are now in the limelight as General Jia Lu looks close to the two.

People began to question the identity of the two, but no one spoke out because they did not want to offend the military.

Meng Tian had originally thought that Fu Chen was a bare-handed fighter because from the very beginning the young man had not carried a sword.

His supposition was immediately broken when clashing swords with the young man, Meng Tian who was originally quite domineering started having trouble attacking Fu Chen.

Fu Chen borrowed the swords the soldiers provided, although the quality was not very good yet it was more than enough.

Fu Chen was aware of the difference in the levels of swordsmanship of the two, even though Meng Tian's swordsmanship was much higher but his comprehension was not yet too high, so Fu Chen could find many gaps in his techniques.

Fu Chen did not dare to comment on every move Meng Tian made because his own understanding was not something to be proud of. Fu Chen gave little input to certain movements.

Some very quick moves from Fu Chen made the match practice come to an end. Meng Tian fell down with the tip of the sword that almost hit his neck.

"I give up.." Meng Tian smiled wryly, he did not expect to lose against someone younger than him.

"My eyes are completely open, he hasn't even reached 15 yet but his strength is already this high." Meng Tian looked at Fu Chen as he shook his head, he increasingly realized his strength was still not enough to return to the Meng Empire.

"Senior was great, so I had to put more effort into bringing you down." Fu Chen smiled gently as he extended a hand.

"That sounds more like an insult than a compliment." Meng Tian Smiled wryly. But he admitted, he had no chance to fight back if Fu Chen expended all his abilities.

General Jia Lu and the other soldiers watching could not believe that Meng Tian would be defeated so easily by a much younger child.

General Jia Lu thought that Fu Chen's strength was equivalent to Meng Tian's, but his assumption was wrong, he himself had never heard of a 10-year-old warrior General.

"As promised, I'll compensate you as you wish." Meng Tian thanked Fu Chen for sharing his knowledge with him, asking what kind of compensation Fu Chen wanted.

"I don't want anything, it's just that there's something I want to talk about that girl." Fu Chen glanced towards Meng Zhi who was observing from afar.

Meng Tian's face immediately changed when he realized the girl he was referring to was his sister.

"What do you want from him?" Meng Tian looked at Fu Chen full of probing, his attitude was also suddenly colder.
