Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch.44 - One Year

The wind blew slowly, accompanied by the chirping of crows around the isatana area. The sunlight was not yet felt, even though it was almost overhead. Unpleasant smells still lurked in the capital city of Meng's capital.

The citizens were forced to welcome their new Emperor. Anxiety, discomfort and fear are etched on every face of the residents. Their faces were tangled, no one would agree if Prince Guanji became their leader.

But whatever the power, their voice will not be heard and only invite death. That afternoon, Meng Guanji had established himself as the new emperor. Applause was given by the residents even with an unwilling heart.

The Nobles who had been siding with Prince Guanji from the very beginning smiled widely in their hearts. All plans to plunder his own country have just begun.

"You always amaze me, Chen'er.." Said Li Han while stroking Fu Chen's head.

It did not feel like a year had passed since Fu Chen became part of the Sacred Sword Sect. His current age had turned nine years old, yet his body looked like that of a dozen-year-old.

Fu Chen had just perfected his mastery in the third stage Shadow Dance science. Shadow Dance Science turns out to have three chapters that contain different styles. Fu Chen initially did not believe it when Li Han said the science he had obtained was a high-level science.

During this one year Fu Chen's activities were only filled with learning and practicing. He only got together a few times with his friends.

Several times he also got into trouble with some inner disciples. Fu Chen guessed that they were just lackeys from Bai Chi or Bai Yan. Fu Chen who was already deep in Shadow Dance first chapter could easily defeat them all.

Under the auspices of Li Han, Fu Chen continued to practice controlling the overflowing energy in his body while fighting. Li Han was very surprised by Fu Chen's development in controlling his body.

The knowledge that should have been learned over several years was absorbed by Fu Cheb in just four months. Not only that, Li Han also always gave input when Fu Chen practiced martial arts.

However Fu Chen still hadn't told Li Han if he had the high-level swordsmanship of his clan. Li Han also still doubted if he had known Fu Chen's background.

Fu Chen also absorbed a lot of every information that was in the library. The time is really spent studying. He always remembered his promise with his father, he would be a strong man to protect his family.

"It should be that with your current strength you can already become an inner disciple. But the test was only done once every three years, and it was still very long. I want you to become an inner disciple immediately so that I can raise to be my disciple…!"

Li Ha gave a suggestion for Fu Chen to immediately become an inner disciple. There were some rules that forbade the elders to make outer disciples their disciples. Therefore Li Han couldn't teach Fu Chen much despite being eager to do so.

Li Han was very passionate about training Fu Chen, seeing his amazing talent made him not want to let go of the slightest opportunity. With his age of just nine, Fu Chen had possessed the strength of an early stage first-rate swordsman.

The only sentence that came out of Li Han's mouth back then was simply 'horrible'. The sentence described everything Li Han wanted to say. Even throughout his life experience he had never heard of a child as young as nine years old would possess the strength of a first-rate swordsman.

"I also want to immediately become an inner disciple .. but what should I do…?" Fu Chen replied while cooling down after training.

His reason for wanting to become an inner disciple was none other than to take on missions with greater contribution points. During their time as outer disciples, they could only take light missions for less than a large wage.

With his current level of strength, it was extremely difficult for Fu Chen to ascend to the next stage just relying on the sect granting resources.

Li Han nodded his head while stroking his beard. "What if you snatch the inner disciple badge that used to bother you? That way you can become an inner disciple easily…!" Li Han's suggestion while smiling widely.

Fu Chen was stunned to hear that, he knew the nature of the old man was very difficult to guess. But I still don't know if he'll think about it.

Li Han let out a small laugh hearing that. "Of course it's not like that I mean Chen'er.." Sahut Li Han, approached Fu Chen who was lying on the grass.

"I mean grab it with a gamble. This fight was not the same as what you used to do.." Fu Chen smiled bitterly at hearing that, "you can propose a duel by involving an elder or a teacher in your class. Of course you also have to risk what your opponent wants."

Fu Chen finally understood Li Han's intentions. The Sacred Sword Sect did not forbid its disciples from dueling like this, they were even rabbis supporting such a thing.

Fu Chen knew why Li Han was so confident telling himself to duel. He must have seen the level of strength of the child that bothered Fu Chen and was confident in Fu Chen's victory.

Fu Chen sighed softly, he did not know how to start. "I'll think about it later." Fu Chen replied briefly.

The garden behind the library was his usual place to practice, he was very grateful to Li Han for allowing him to practice there.

"The decision is in your hands.I just suggest." Li Han's. Not long after, a servant approached them.

"Excuse me, the elder of the sect asked you to go to the main hall." Said the waiter, bowing his head.

"What's wrong?" Li Han asked briefly.

"That's.The sect leader wanted to discuss the issue that had recently emerged. He was expecting your presence…"

Fu Chen glanced at the servant when he heard that. What kind of problem made the sect master expect Li Han's presence?

Li Han sighed softly, "Don't forget Chen'er's words! Meet your friends! Maybe I'll take a little while." Said Li Han and went ahead of the servant.

Fu Chen was confused because he didn't know anything. It was not usual for Li Han to be willing to attend a meeting like this. Moreover, he also did not have any information about the outside world since in the sect.

Meanwhile, Bai Chi who used to be in the top five of the core disciples, had to lose his prestige and be replaced by someone who was not expected at all.

Even so, he still bestowed all his irritation on Fu Chen. Bai Chi's hatred for Fu Chen was like a growing stain and could not be eliminated.

Fu Chen was the only lowly person who dared to oppose him. In addition, Bai Chi also hated Fu Chen because he was very familiar with Xiao Jung.

Despite having a grudge, he could not touch Fu Chen due to his uncle's ban. So Bai Chi asked his errand boy to eliminate Fu Chen, but to date nothing has worked.
