Chapter 553: Chapter 552: This Woman Is Very Strong_1
At this moment, Jiang Chen looked over and saw a woman fighting four people on her own, holding her ground, even though her leg was injured, which made her movements even more inconvenient.
"Stop!"
A roar echoed through the air.
Several women flew in and, upon seeing the scene, immediately spoke out to stop it.
Only then did the five of them cease fighting.
Jiang Long whispered, "The enforcers from the Qianren Association have arrived. That’s Shentu Zhengfeng, a Seven-stage Master. Her power is immense. Don’t cause trouble at the stronghold, or you’ll be thrown out."
Jiang Chen looked over to see a middle-aged woman whose body radiated powerful True Qi, even forming her own Domain.
Those who could comprehend a Domain were masters.
Jiang Chen had never understood Domains, so he asked, "She has a Domain?"
Jiang Lan replied, "A Domain? That’s what they call it in the Continent of All-Gods for Wanderers. In reality, it’s not a Domain but what we call a ’Realm’. It’s a new realization, a kind of unique understanding of Martial Arts that forms a certain Realm."
"You know this so clearly?"
Jiang Long said, "You might not know this, but Xiao Lan is an expert who has realized a ’Realm’. Her ’Realm’ is very strong and can increase her Attack Power."
"All things considered, the three of us together are no match for her."
"Among the three of us, only she has realized this power. The rest of us haven’t."
Jiang Chen looked at Jiang Lan.
He asked, "Then what exactly is this power?"
"It’s the Realization of Martial Arts. Since you are following the path of Killing intent, when you condense your Killing intent to the extreme, you will realize this power."
"Many people realize Killing intent, not only to enhance the Attack Power of their Martial Arts but also to cultivate Killing intent to the extreme, giving rise to a ’Realm’."
"It’s named the ’Deathly Realm’, and it is the strongest and most direct Realization of power."
Jiang Chen had a sudden Realization.
A Realm? Could the Heart Realm also be this kind of power?
The power of the Heart Realm could perceive an enemy’s emotions and discern their fluctuations. Although it couldn’t enhance Attack Power, it could sense the enemy’s state, including whether they were targeting him specifically.
The Heart Realm was the Martial Arts taught to him by the blind old man.
At that moment, Jiang Chen understood. This was the power of the ’Realm’.
Jiang Chen asked, "Can one comprehend two Realms?"
"Of course, but comprehending one is already extremely difficult, not to mention two ’Realms’. This power was passed down to me by my master, which is why I could comprehend it so quickly."
As several of them were discussing this, Shentu Zhengfeng of the Qianren Association drove the five of them out of the stronghold, not allowing them to stay the night.
The woman who had difficulty walking did not hesitate and left the stronghold.
The other four also left.
Jiang Long shook his head, "That woman is probably doomed. Once they are out there, with old grudges and new, she’ll undoubtedly be killed."
"That’s none of our business."
Jiang Chen stood up with a smile and said, "I think that woman will kill those four. She’s very strong."
Jiang Long objected, "Impossible. Her leg is injured, making it inconvenient for her. One person against four? She’s surely doomed."
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "How about we make a bet?"
Jiang Long took a glance and chuckled, "Sure, bet on what?"
"If I win, you give me a kilogram of meat."
"If I lose, I’ll give you two kilograms."
Jiang Long replied, "Sure! I have plenty of meat anyway, but I’m certain my prediction is right. That woman, with her inconvenient leg, is sure to lose against four people head-on."
Jiang Yan laughed and said, "Little Brother, you’re certainly going to lose. Four people against one woman with a lame leg? She’s bound to lose!"
Jiang Chen said, "Haven’t you noticed? She’s faking it. Her leg isn’t lame at all."
The four of them were flabbergasted.
Faking it? How could that be?
Jiang Chen continued, "It seems like she’s doing it on purpose."
"Why?"
"She must have experienced a quick increase in her Realm and wanted to split up. However, the other four didn’t agree, so she pretended to be lame."
"Or perhaps she discovered something and faked lameness to see if they would continue to train with her through thick and thin, just as before."
The four were full of doubts.
No way!
「Half an hour later...」
The woman with the supposedly lame leg entered from outside. The four of them were astonished.
What? The woman actually won? This...
Jiang Long exclaimed, "How did you figure that out?"
"I discerned it from her facial expressions. The way a lame person walks isn’t how she did. Her gait was different, so it was an act."
"Then how were you so sure she would win?"
"That woman is very strong and has been concealing her true strength. The other four are no match for her. She’s already a Fifth-stage Expert, while the other four are only Third-stage."
Jiang Long gave a thumbs-up, "Little Brother, you’re quite something!"
Jiang Long handed over a kilogram of meat to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smiled, took it, then stood up and walked in another direction.
Jiang Long chuckled, "Turns out Little Brother has taken a fancy to her. We’re all in pairs, and he’s the only one alone."
"If this woman is as perceptive as Little Brother says, then her schemes run deep. I’m afraid Little Brother might not be able to handle her."
"That may not be the case. In the Wanderer World, everyone has secrets. If Little Brother can see through them, it means he’s observant of the smallest details and more cautious than us. This Little Brother is no simple character."
Jiang Hu remarked, "Little Brother is strong, stronger than us."
"He’s only Third-stage."
"Fourth-stage."
"How did you figure that out?"
"By the way he walks."
The three of them instantly understood.
This meant Jiang Chen had advanced. His walking speed was faster, so he was now a Fourth-stage Expert, no longer Third-stage.
He advanced to Fourth-stage that quickly?
Jiang Chen approached the woman with the supposedly lame leg and offered her the meat.
The woman looked up at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Take it. I won this in a bet. Seeing you’re injured, this should help you regain some strength."
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"There are no kind-hearted people here. State your purpose. Do you want me to spend the night with you, or something else?"
"You’re overthinking it. Women only slow down my sword-drawing speed."
"You pity me? I don’t need it."
"Consider it a loan, then. When you have some meat, you can pay me back."
After a moment of silence, the woman reached out her hand. "My name is Li Anqin. I’ll remember this kindness."
Jiang Chen turned and left.
Returning to Jiang Long’s side, he then sat down.
Jiang Long asked, "Didn’t you invite her over?"
"Invite her over for what?"
"Aren’t you interested in her?"
"Big Brother, what are you thinking?"
Jiang Long said, "So if you’re not interested in her, you just feel sorry for her?"
"Something like that."
"Don’t do that again. In the Wanderer World, sympathy is the last thing you need. Acting like that will only bring you more trouble."
"How could that be?"
Jiang Long said, "How about we make another bet?"
"Bet on what?"
"Within the next hour, someone will definitely come over and ask to borrow meat from you. If I lose, I’ll give you another kilogram of meat. If you lose, what will you give me?"
Jiang Chen looked around.
Indeed, he felt people glancing toward them, particularly the female cultivators.
It seems I’m going to lose this time.
