Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 396: Chapter 395, Sowing Beans Turns into Soldiers_1

The rest were dead silent.

Another Elder from the Life Alliance had died, and he was a Sixth-stage Expert.

"Dong Fang Unbeaten, don’t be so smug! We Wanderers still have plenty of experts."

"The top ten experts will surely come to compete in martial arts. We’ll see how you die then."

"The Wanderer Continent is full of experts; defeating Lian Hongliang is nothing!"

"You’d better keep your word. Someone will definitely come to challenge you within ten days."

"Quickly spread the news!"

"Dong Fang Unbeaten, you are doomed!"

Jiang Chen strode towards Dong Long Manor, ready to settle down there and wait for ten days. He also wanted to see how many experts would come within that time.

Jiang Chen casually picked a room to stay in.

CREAK.

Li Chanji entered the room and questioned, "Jiang Chen, what exactly are you trying to do? This is the Wanderer World, where experts abound. Do you really think you can challenge the entire Wanderers’ Alliance on your own?"

"Yes, I challenge the whole Wanderers’ Alliance and want to witness your so-called experts."

"Have you gone mad? You’re not even a Wanderer. Are you also thinking of making a name for yourself?"

"I sure am!"

Li Chanji was at a loss for words.

There are many challenges among Wanderers. Some youngsters grow up wanting to challenge others to make a name for themselves, something quite common in the Wanderer World.

But Jiang Chen was not a Wanderer. He was a Hero, so why was he thinking about making a name for himself?!

Li Chanji said, "Wanderers do have many experts. The top ten can challenge beyond their Level. Don’t judge victory or defeat purely by Level. You’re strong, but that doesn’t mean the Wanderers are weak."

"Who are these experts?"

"The number one ranked is called Sword Heart, who uses the heart as the sword and comprehends the art of swordsmanship."

"The second ranked is called Tyrant Blade, with Knife Techniques that are incredibly sharp."

"The third ranked is called Iron Fist, with a pair of fists that are incomparably domineering."

"The fourth ranked is called Lin Gongnan, whose rotating Knife Technique is also formidable."

"The fifth ranked practices Ten Thousand Things..."

Li Chanji introduced, "Our Wanderers possess numerous Martial Arts, each with its unique Strength."

Jiang Chen laughed.

In fact, just like Heroes, Wanderers cultivate Martial Arts and True Qi.

Heroes cultivate Badges. Different Badges possess different Skills.

Martial Arts are like different Badges. True Qi is akin to a Badge’s Level. The higher the Level, the more substantial the True Qi. In the same way, Badges become more potent at higher Levels, and the Attributes of worn equipment also increase.

Wanderers become Gods. Perhaps in the future, like Badges, they will evolve True Qi into Badges and Martial Arts into various Skills.

"Don’t worry. If a true expert does come, I won’t run away! Why would I foolishly wait to be slain?"

"Is your goal to learn various Martial Arts?"

Jiang Chen nodded. "Yes, someone once said Badges are also a form of one’s Strength, not immutable. I need to understand various Martial Arts to improve my Skills."

Before meeting Li Xiaoyao, Jiang Chen always thought that Skills were unchangeable.

But after the encounter, his mind changed.

Skills can be altered.

The so-called Skills involve one’s own Magic Power evolving into abilities. Jiang Chen’s Wan Jian Gui Clan’s Skill did just that. It originally consisted of 30,000 Sword Qi, but now it has transformed into 6,000 Sword Qi.

By merging the original five Sword Qi into one Sword Qi, the quality of each Sword Qi improved. This represented a qualitative change, with the Attack Power enhanced fivefold.

Jiang Chen wanted to learn how to control Magic Power and how to control Sword Qi.

Instead of rigidly activating Skills.

Li Chanji exclaimed, "Skills can change? I’ve never heard of such a thing!"

"You Wanderers are divided into the Modern Faction and the Ancient Martial Faction, so why can’t we Heroes?"

Li Chanji nodded. "You make a good point. Just be careful!"

Li Chanji turned and left...

「In the next room.」

Jinhua asked, "How is it? Is the kid really planning to stay here for ten days? Is he preparing to challenge various forces of the Wanderers?"

Li Chanji nodded. "Yes."

"That brazen kid, he’s got some nerve."

"Sigh... all I can do now is inform Father and hope he sends an expert to protect him."

Only Jiang Chen knew about the Curse-lifting Potion.

If he were to die...

Where would they find another Potion like that?

「Inside a village.」

Ba Jie and One Sword were drinking.

Ba Jie said, "Senior brother, I’ve put you in a difficult position."

"It’s no trouble at all. With me here, those old bones won’t even think of splitting the Loyal Justice Association. You did well this time, removing their Curse Seals. As long as it doesn’t get exposed, they can live on the Continent of All-Gods in the future, leaving a lineage for the Wanderers."

Ba Jie nodded; that was indeed his goal.

Rather than giving the Potion to the Loyal Justice Association, it was better to use it directly to remove their Curse Seals.

One Sword commented, "But have you considered that some people don’t want to leave? Their ancestors have lived here for generations."

"If they don’t want to leave, they can just live here."

One Sword shook his head. "You don’t understand Wanderers. It’s not as simple as you think. Now that they’ve removed the marks from their foreheads, living here will bring many inconveniences."

"Not everyone here has removed the mark from their forehead, and those who have will face ostracism, targeting, and even assassination..."

"Have you thought about this?"

Ba Jie was stunned; he hadn’t considered this at all.

"It seems I didn’t think it through."

"Was it Jiang Chen who gave you the Potion?"

"Yes."

"Hmm, I’ve heard you mention him before, and so has Siyuan. He seems like a good person. It’s a shame he joined the Heavenly Earth Association."

Ba Jie fell silent; he too was unsure how Jiang Chen had ended up joining the Heavenly Earth Association.

"Can you still contact him?"

"I can."

"Since he has the Curse-lifting Potion, out of friendship, he should give you some. If possible, get more. He’s stirred up quite a mess this time."

Ba Jie was bewildered.

"Stirred up trouble?"

One Sword nodded with a smile. "Yes, significant trouble indeed!"

"What trouble?"

"Recently, a Swordsman has emerged in the Wanderers’ Alliance claiming to be Dong Fang Unbeaten. He has killed Xie An, the Elder of the Life Alliance, and then challenged Lian Hongliang, another Elder of the Life Alliance. Both died by his hand."

Dong Fang Unbeaten? Wow, that’s a powerful name! Ba Jie thought.

One Sword continued, "That’s not all. This man made a bold statement at Dong Long Manor, challenging any Wanderer below the Sixth-stage to single combat. Now the news has spread across the entire world."

Ba Jie was stunned.

Has this guy lost his mind?

Doesn’t he realize that the Wanderer World is teeming with experts, completely unlike the Continent of All-Gods where power is distinguished by profession, Level, and gear?

A fierce profession, high Level, and good gear equate to a powerful expert.

But it’s different for Wanderers. Sometimes a nameless practitioner could be a formidable expert. It’s not about class divisions. Just because a Fourth-stage Expert has stronger True Qi than a Third-stage expert doesn’t mean he can defeat a Third-stage expert.

Martial Arts decide everything.

True Qi is akin to a Hero’s spiritual power.

Ba Jie said, "Dong Fang Unbeaten might not necessarily be Jiang Chen."

"According to your description, it’s undoubtedly him."

Ba Jie stood up. "I’ll go and talk some sense into him."

"I’ll accompany you. But forget about persuading him. Since he gave you the Potion, he considers you a friend. And if he’s your friend, he is mine too."

"Thank you, senior brother," Ba Jie said with sincere gratitude.

"We’re brothers in arms. No need for such formalities. Let’s go. Not every Wanderer is a gentleman who will wait for a challenge to come knocking. Some will even attack in secret."

"Who?"

"People from the Qingyi Building. They must have investigated and found out that the Potion came from him. They won’t play by the rules."

"The Twelve Floors of Qingyi building?"

"Yes, each Building Lord is an expert above the Seventh-stage. He might have a hard time dealing with them."

The two set out for Dong Long Manor.

「At this moment.」

The entire Wanderer World was abuzz.

"What? A Swordsman calling himself Dong Fang Unbeaten is challenging the entire Wanderers’ Alliance?"

"How bold is this person? Does he think the Wanderers have no one left?"

"Hurry and see for yourself! Many experts are heading to Dong Long Manor, all prepared to challenge this so-called Dong Fang Unbeaten."

"Dong Fang Unbeaten, what an imposing name, but he will surely meet his end at my sword."

"Hmph, my broad blade is already thirsting for a challenge!"

"Let’s go..."

Qin Qiwen and Gu Zihan sat to one side.

Qin Qiwen said, "Junior sister, it seems this person must be Jiang Chen."

"Are you so sure?"

"Remember the Swordsman we encountered in the black market? Plus, this person has established a deep connection with the Heavenly Earth Association; it’s very likely that the Potion came from him."

"Wasn’t he named Jiang Chen? Why the name change?"

"Nonsense, of course, it’s an alias. Do you really believe that? Master has asked us to investigate the Heavenly Earth Association’s Potion, and it seems like this is the guy."

"Shall we go now?"

"Yes."

The two picked up their swords and left...

「Dong Long Manor.」

A motley crowd had assembled. Countless Wanderers had gathered here, many just to spectate. As for challenging, no one dared step forward yet. They all wanted to defeat the Swordsman and take the edge off his sharpness.

Jiang Chen stood on the second floor, looking out the window.

His Perception revealed that many experts had come, not just those below the Sixth-stage, but also hidden experts of higher stages.

Just like the elderly man next to Jiang Chen, who was leisurely sipping his drink but gave Jiang Chen an unfathomable feeling.

Especially the True Qi within his body, which was concealed so deeply that Jiang Chen couldn’t even feel it. This caused him significant concern.

This time, I might have stirred up too much trouble. Jiang Chen thought to himself.

The reason he thought the old man beside him was an expert wasn’t that he could feel the True Qi, but because the man’s breathing was even and his aura was long and sustained. Although he appeared to be drinking tea, he was subtly keeping an eye on Jiang Chen.

Though they didn’t make eye contact, Jiang Chen could feel that this old man was not simple.

The old man was pouring wine but then found that the bottle was empty.

Jiang Chen called out, "Waiter, bring up some fine wine!"

"Right away!"

The Waiter came over and brought up a jug of fine wine.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Take this to the senior over there."

The old man looked at Jiang Chen, "We don’t seem to know each other, do we?"

"Haha... now we are acquainted. I am Dong Fang Unbeaten," Jiang Chen replied with a smile.

"Dong Fang Unbeaten, such a high-profile name. Many are challenging you right now, yet you haven’t fled. That’s commendable courage!"

"Senior, you’re joking. With you here, how could I dare to flee?"

The old man shook his head. "I’m certainly not a senior."

Jiang Chen chuckled.

Pretending? Still pretending? As if I don’t know!
