Eps. 46 — End of Competition
Jian Chen was an empty-handed swordsman in his past life, tread attacks, kicks, punches, and tootokan had been mastered.
Although he mastered swordsmanship as well but he did not use it too much especially because Jian Chen was not used to the weapons he had grasped his hands.
In the past life only a few times Jian Chen used the Moon Sword Technique even if he was carrying a sword alone, in the end if fighting seriously Jian Chen chose to use his bare hands.
You could say Jian Chen buried his sword ability but after being reborn he learned to get used to using that sword.
Jian Chen's ability in sword was actually no less high especially when he had mastered the Moon Sword Technique which could be used in various situations.
By mastering the technique his sword comprehension was also already deep, Jian Chen was simply unaware of his ability hence as he used the sword technique Jian Chen was shocked to see the impact from the use of his attacks.
Jian Chen stared at the White Fanged sword in his hand, still shocked by the situation, according to him only with a small weapon like this could create such enormous damage immeasurably enough to stupefy him.
“I have to learn the sword even deeper, after the competition is over maybe I will train until I reach a swordsman swordsman.” Jian Chen was motivated.
Jian Chen sheathed back his sword, he stepped towards where Liu Zhan had fainted. Jian Chen ascertained Liu Zhan's life and it turned out that he had not been killed by his attack.
“I'll take the one that's not yours, after this be honest in a competition.” Jian Chen took out the Spatial Ring in Liu Zhan who was still fainting.
Liu Zhan's Space Ring was not silver but gold, a more quality space ring and had a large enough room inside. Usually only noble people as well as those in high clans had this golden-type Space Ring.
Jian Chen closed his eyes to palpate the contents of the space ring, as he expected, the stolen Golden Dragon faction was stored within. Jian Chen found the demon gems numbered in the hundreds and if put into the competition could be exchanged for 1000 more points.
“If he returns to the Academy then of course he will be the winner, at least the second champion if there is me.”
Jian Chen would not hand these stealth gems to his faction, he planned on absorbing them all on his dantian for practice. After all with the gems obtained earlier he was confident the Two Swords faction would win this competition by a landslide.
The demon hunting competition had ended today, after checking all the members of the Golden Dragon faction Jian Chen had directly left from there.
He chuckled softly, the Golden Dragon faction must have been humiliated this time around upon coming to their senses later. Instead of the champion of the Golden Dragon faction, it was at the bottom. Jian Chen was not strong to see Liu Yanyi's reaction to his subordinates' failure. Obviously this is beyond his estimation.

A few hours passed by where the Qianshan Academy field had already been some students who exchanged the results of their hunted stealth gems for the Academy Elders.
There were fifteen tables in front of the field, each table was a place where gems were placed by competition participants before they would be counted with a simple magic formation.
There will be a number after the jewel is placed, the Academy Elder will give points in the form of blue coins and it can be exchanged for resources in the academy.
The competition participants continued to queue at the 15 tables until finally the turn of Niu Meily's Snow Lotus faction. Meily took out the contents of the jewel on the table and simultaneously appeared the number of points.
As the previous rule mentioned, one year of a gem's lifespan is equal to one point, so it doesn't matter the number of gems but the age of the gem itself.
Meily earned 890 points and this was the second biggest point followed by Ye Ziyun after which amounted to 800 points.
Faction after faction continued until it came to the turn of the Two Swords faction which had far fewer members. The arrival of the Two Swords faction's entourage did not attract the attention of the most famous people except for the two prettiest girls, Ye Ziyun and Niu Meily.
The two girls were originally probably the same as most, greening the Two Swords faction but the story was different again after knowing there was someone great in the faction.
Meily stared at Miou Yue's entourage meticulously but did not find the person she was looking for, she thought Jian Chen was overhauled.
“Looks like he doesn't exist, does he?” Ziyun whispered near Meily's ear making the girl amazed instead of playing.
“K-Kak Ziyun, why do you always surprise me!” Meily protested.
“Hm? Aren't you looking for him, Jian Chen?”
“Whoever looks for it, I do not seek it. Brother Ziyun misunderstood!”
Ye Ziyun let out a small laugh, Meily's words differed greatly from her reaction let alone that her best friend's face looked flushed when offending Jian Chen. Ziyun turned to the Two Swords faction that wanted to take out the gems in her space ring, she and her best friend were both curious about how many gems the faction had obtained.
Miou Yue from the front shortly took out the results of the stealth gems he obtained, the result was far from everyone's estimation when a mountain of gems appeared that filled the table.
The stealth gems that Miou Yue had issued were not only numerous but numbered in the tens of years, Miou Yue herself was also still shocked despite having fingered the numbers but what was surprising was the point.
There were 2100 points from the magic table, even the Elder who examined him coughed in disbelief.
All gazes were fixed on Miou Yue's desk, whispers creeping about the results the Two Swords faction had obtained. Everyone certainly did not believe in the results of such factions.
“What is this, do they cheat collect gems?”
“How do you think? I don't believe this either, but it's all real. How did the bottom faction get that many gems.”
“I heard that there was a masked group during the competition that stole stealth gems from other factions, is it possible that the masked group was the Two Swords faction?”
“Cannot be! Me and my faxes were with the Two Swords faction on the third and fourth day, they were all good, they hunted according to the rules of the competition.”
“Then what about the silhouette gem?”
“Entah, maybe they did get that many gems.”
Compared to most whispers, Meily and Ziyun were the most shocked of all. Both of them realized that the result must have been due to Jian Chen, because the only one who could do such a large amount of hunting could only be achieved with such a high ability as Jian Chen.
Ziyun had seen the action of Jian Chen surviving when attacked by the Land Rat while Meily had already witnessed Jian Chen's high sword technique but to his surprise both Jian Chen's abilities turned out to be far from his estimation.
Although they had never witnessed how Jian Chen killed a demon but in one look, they believed that Jian Chen's ability to kill all the demons in a silent forest without anyone blocking him in the least.
