Eps. 43 — Jian Chen Act
Jian Chen had first treated the injured members of the Two Swords faction using his inner power.
Miou Yue was the first person Jian Chen healed because he was the one who was the most severely injured. Jian Chen put his hand on Miou Yue before exerting energy throughout the girl's body.
The wounds engraved all over Miou Yue's body slowly retreated as Jian Chen drained a deep energy at her. The bleeding that was still there stopped even more, Miou Yue's face was also not as pale as before.
That sudden action of Jian Chen managed to make those who saw him sculpt especially those who had previously treated Miou Yue faint.
The reason they did not use their inner strength to heal Miou Yue was because they could not do such a thing.
One must have good internal energy control to use his inner energy as a healer and at the age of those who on average dozens of internal energy controls it is still difficult.
It takes at least 3-5 years they study at the academy until finally they can control the inner power as a body healer.
It was just that the deep energy healing that Jian Chen did was fairly fast, this signified that the energy control within Jian Chen was extremely high.
Actually this fact was not that strange considering in his previous life Jian Chen was an expert swordsman in internal power.
After feeling Miou Yue had improved Jian Chen moved to another member who was still injured.
Lu Xuan had the widest wound at once the deepest, judging from his bandages, it was certain that he was injured by a sword incision. Jian Chen slightly took longer to heal Lu Xuan.
Shen Ling who was beside Lu Xuan thanked Jian Chen over and over again, she was the one who was the most worried about Lu Xuan's condition.
The concern that Shen Ling showed was far different from the relationship the two were always arguing with. Jian Chen smiled awkwardly, it seemed like the relationship between the two was more unique than he thought.
That healing took a long time until the sun was about to arrive, the energy within Jian Chen was also almost drained a lot so he had to gather first.
Miou Yue shortly woke up afterwards, the thought that first flashed was when she recalled that the Space Ring she was wearing had been stolen, the results of his hard work over the past 6 days with his members became futile.
Sadness emanated from Miou Yue's face until the corner of her eyes was fixed on a young man sitting cross-legged not far from her.
“Brother Jian, you back?!” Miou Yue could not help his surprise and happiness when Jian Chen was still alive.
For Miou Yue, Jian Chen had saved himself as well as his faction friends, he had always been waiting for Jian Chen to return and all this time he had been moving just to look for his whereabouts.
The feeling of sadness felt evaporating so quickly, Miou Yue wanted to approach Jian Chen but her body still felt limp due to the lack of blood. Miou Yue helped her members change positions to sit down.
“Miss Yue, you should not move much, your body is still not fully recovered.” Jian Chen came over as the faction leader woke up.
“Brother Jian, I..” Miou Yue wanted to say something but those words stuck in his throat as he recalled he left Jian Chen in danger.
Jian Chen understood Miou Yue's feelings so he said. “I'm fine, those mole rats aren't fast enough to chase after me who ran over the tree.”
Jian Chen smiled, showing that it was not something big. Jian Chen was indeed lying so that Miou Yue would not discuss this any further.
Miou Yue let out her entire feeling, even she had to wipe away her tears that appeared several times. Jian Chen realized those tears were not a sign of sadness but tears of happiness.
After a while, Miou Yue had her members gathered together, she wanted to reveal something to them in the form of her regret that failed to protect the Space Ring from the masked group.
Miou Yue promised to compensate her members for putting them in danger, she also intended to disband the Two Swords faction after this competition ended.
The maap request of the girl was so sincere that her tears came out, not to mention she did it while prostrating on her members.
Miou Yue probably realized that if not for her selfish feelings of choosing to fight against the masked group instead of handing over her jewel, maybe she and her faction were not as badly injured as this.
You could say this situation was caused by him being too ambitious for the faction.
The members who heard him look at each other for a moment, they could see the guilt and regret from Miou Yue this made them so pity.
“Chairman Yue, this is not your fault, from the beginning we did not expect any prize in this competition.”
“Chairman Yue goes without thinking, the most important thing now is that we are all safe. Win or not the competition is not important for us.”
The other faction members continued to encourage Miou Yue not to think about this any further.
The Two Swords faction may be the lowest position faction but if in the ranking of a relationship, their sense of kinship is higher than the other factions.
Jian Chen smiled hearing all of that, the reason was also why he entered the Two Swords faction.
“Saudari Yue, I hand this back to you.” Jian Chen threw his s.p.a.ce ring at Miou Yue who was immediately captured by him. “The ring doesn't fit me anymore.”.
Miou Yue stared at the silver ring in her hand. “What do you mean?”
Jian Chen smiled warmly, “In him there are some stealth gems, it is enough to make our faction at least famous again.” Jian Chen looked up at the sky, the sun had already appeared up there. “I have to go now.”
“ Wait! Where you going? “
Jian Chen smiled widely, “I will exercise for a while, it will probably be back late so Sister Yue, you may return to the Academy first.”.
Miou Yue wanted to say something but Jian Chen had already stepped away jumping over the tree branches.
The other members did not act as they had already heard Jian Chen's extremely powerful abilities from Miou Yue. The departure of Jian Chen also could not be prevented.
Miou Yue on the other hand did not forbid Jian Chen from leaving, precisely having no right to do that. As Miou Yue wanted to check the s.p.a.ce Ring that Jian Chen had given her earlier, she was immediately shocked when she found out the contents inside the ring.
“This..” Miou Yue stared at the direction Jian Chen was going, not believing there was a large number of gems inside.
***
From Yun Mei's previous explanation, the Golden Dragon faction resided on the hill in the middle of the Lonely Forest. The reason was very simple because they needed a high place to scout the faction they were about to seize.
That reason was now that Jian Chen was heading up the hill there, the hill was quite high and large so it took him 1 hour more until Jian Chen arrived.
Since the Golden Dragon Faction is a faction that has many members, the area of their camp is very large, around it there is a barrier in the form of a wooden wall. The barrier is high enough to indicate that outsiders should not enter it.
This also shows that during this competition the Golden Dragon faction did not move around.
Jian Chen walked over on that gate without having to infiltrate or so on, the action was immediately realized by the members guarding the gate.
“Who are you, say your name if you're in?!”
The two gate guards aimed their spears near Jian Chen's body but Jian Chen was not afraid to even keep stepping.
“What are you deaf!” the gatekeeper glared fiercely. “If you do not mention your name, we do not hesitate to use violence.”
Jian Chen's steps came to a halt. “Hm, is this the Golden Dragon faction camp?”
The gatekeeper was shocked, they were wearing masks as well as not wearing academy uniforms but Jian Chen guessed it straight away.
“Ah, your silence indicates the answer.” After saying so Jian Chen released a kick making their spear break. Jian Chen swung back his legs this time leading to one of them.
That quick kick he could not avoid so Jian Chen's attack hit him with a slump toward the stomach. That kick in addition to making him vomit blood also made him lose consciousness.
“You...” The other guard was surprised even a little frightened staring at Jian Chen.
“Call everyone here, tell them that today the Golden Dragon faction will end!”
Jian Chen's words were like magic, the gatekeeper immediately rushed into the fortress. Jian Chen inhaled a long breath before letting it out slowly. It had been a long time since he would fight with many people like this.
