A disciple from the inner courtyard was waiting quietly with his hands behind his back.
When Dugu Chong saw him, he said softly: "He's from Longjian Hall!"
"I've seen it before." Lin Chen nodded slightly, remembering that when he was at the True Dragon Palace, the young man in front of him helped Jian Lan.
"I'm Jian Ming, you should be familiar with me, right?" The young man looked arrogant, and he could only show a sense of arrogance in front of Lin Chen.
"You're not a stranger. Are you here to inform me to join the mission?" Lin Chen asked with a smile.
"Although Mr. Lan agreed to let you form a team, we don't need weak people in our team, so it is necessary to test your strength."
"What does senior brother mean?"
"Simple, as long as you can defeat me, you are qualified to participate in this mission!"
"That's it." Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that the news had spread. Jian Lan deliberately asked people to come and test his strength. Naturally, he couldn't deceive Lin Chen.
"What? You seem reluctant?" Jian Ming frowned.
"No, it's just that I don't like to duel with random people. If you want to test me, you can, but I need a bet!"
"bet?"
"Yes, I need to contribute points, subject to the upper limit."
"Don't go too far. Although I heard that you defeated Jian Meng, you may not be able to defeat me!" Jian Ming's face was gloomy. Jian Lan could explain that he must be defeated.
But even when he was defeated, he had to find out Lin Chen's true identity.
But in this case, Jianming's five thousand contribution points would be given away in vain.
"It's not too much. After all, I just came to Jianzong not long ago and my contribution is very little. I'm only interested in this now. If you don't want to, please come back. At worst, I will take on other tasks." Lin Chen obviously made up his mind about Jianzong.
bright.
"They say you are arrogant, and it's true!"
"It's not that I'm arrogant, it's my principles."
"After all, I am one of Master Lan's. If you want to team up with us, what good will it do to you to offend me?"
"He is your father! If you want to pretend to be a grandson, that is your business!"
"You want to cause trouble!" Jianming was angry.
"You are the one making trouble now. What qualifications do you have to test me? If you have the strength, then compete openly and openly! If I lose, it's not like I won't contribute something to you." Lin Chen said jokingly: "Is it possible that you are?
Have you ever thought about winning against me?"
"You..." Jian Ming seemed a little embarrassed as if his thoughts had been seen through. Although he was a little worried, in order to complete the task assigned by Jian Lan, he had to follow Lin Chen first, so he hummed softly: "Isn't it just five thousand contribution points?
? I can still afford it!"
"Come on then, one sword will determine the outcome!" Lin Chen raised his hand and revealed a long sword.
"Right here?"
"Yes, I don't want to be so high-profile."
"You think you managed to get into the position of the boss of Tianjian Hall, and you don't want to make a fool of yourself in public, right?"
"If you think so, you can understand it."
"You are so unpleasant, you insist on making me angry!" Jian Ming's face turned stern.
"I didn't make you like it either!"
"Then you'd better have some strength, otherwise if I'm careless with my sword, it could cost you your life!" Jian Ming warned coldly, the sword came out quickly, the edge flashed, and the cold air was overwhelming.
Jian Ming!
Ranked thirty on the True Dragon Ranking, at the peak of the Eighth Transformation Dragon Realm, much stronger than Jian Meng.
"Here comes another point giver." Dugu Chong shook his head slightly.
When I was practicing just now, I personally experienced how terrifying Lin Chen's sword power was. If he really wanted to use it, it would be enough to kill Jian Ming instantly. Even if Jian Lan came, he might not be able to take advantage.
"Boy! Be careful!" Jian Ming was ready, with a fierce momentum.
"Whatever." Lin Chen looked calm.
Hoo ho!~
The wind blows up for no reason, the sound of the sword roars, ghosts cry and gods howl, the sword's intent is powerful and powerful, captivating people's hearts.
"So strong!" Dugu Chong was weak and was obviously affected, retreating in fear.
Lin Chen, on the other hand, was indifferent, his expression unchanged, and he just stared at Jian Ming quietly, without any concern.
Wind!
Jian Ming shouted sharply, the sword energy roared, as powerful as the residual wind, the sword seemed invisible, speeding without a shadow, carrying an extremely biting cold wind, approaching Lin Chen in a cold way.
The sword was fast, but in Lin Chen's eyes, it was as slow as a snail.
Of course, Lin Chen didn't dare to reveal too much strength, otherwise Jian Lan would be more wary, but he couldn't show too much weakness and had to be careful.
Although Jian Ming's sword power was extremely powerful, Lin Chen had already seen through it. It was obvious that Jian Ming had left three layers of remaining strength in order to test the depth of his own strength, so he did not use his full strength.
But all this had been discovered by Lin Chen long ago.
See!
Lin Chen's sword eyebrows were raised as the sharp edge approached, and he slashed with his sword, just right.
Dang!~
Gold and iron stirred, cold light burst out, powerful waves shook, and ripples flooded.
Jian Ming's sword was very sharp, but Lin Chen's sword seemed more steady, and he steadily caught Jian Ming's sword attack.
"So heavy!"
Jian Ming was startled, feeling that Lin Chen's sword power was as steady as a mountain and quite powerful.
Bang!~
The void shook, and the sword forcefully retreated, retreating more than two feet.
Lin Chen didn't seem relaxed either, and was forced to take a step back.
"Brother Chen?" Dugu Chong was confused but said nothing.
Lin Chen took back his sword and smiled slightly: "Senior brother, I accept it."
Jian Ming was stunned for a moment, and he made some judgment in his mind, and said calmly: "No wonder you dare to be so rampant, it seems that you are quite capable."
"Then make a contribution..."
"I'm willing to admit defeat." Jian Ming achieved his goal and generously marked off 5,000 contribution points for Lin Chen.
"Thank you!" Lin Chen smiled.
"No need to thank me, some hot things are not so easy to handle!" Jian Ming said with a sullen face, "You have already passed my test. Meet at the south gate on time tomorrow morning, don't miss your appointment!"
"Definitely!" Lin Chen smiled.
"See you later!" Jianming hurriedly left.
Dugu rushed forward and asked: "Brother Chen, your strength is not inferior to his, why do you feel a little strenuous?"
"He was just sent by Jian Lan to test my strength. If I didn't bother, how could Jian Ming go back and explain?" Lin Chen said with a smile: "That's why I said to keep a low profile, even if I can't keep a low profile, I still have to have reservations.
, so that others will never be able to see through your depth, and you can take things by surprise!"
"Hehe, if I were half as smart as you, I wouldn't be so miserable. It seems like you really have to be a bit sinister." Dugu smiled slyly and asked, "But you really don't want to take me with you tomorrow?"
"I don't understand Jian Lan's reality yet, but as the second son of Liang Hou, I must be well prepared for this trip to the Wolf Valley. Brother Chong, if you go, I will be under a lot of pressure." Lin Chen said seriously.
"Okay, then brother, let's just stay here and practice. But if there is a suitable task next time, you can't abandon brother again, otherwise he will be bored." Dugu Chong said with a smile.
"Of course, next time we pick a good task, we will go on it." Lin Chen smiled back.
Soon!
Lin Chen and Dugu Chong continued to return to the training room for meditation, and Lin Chen also escaped into the dreamland, refining and consolidating the sword moves he had just learned.
…
Famous Sword Hall!
"Master Lan, I'm back." Jianming returned in a hurry.
"How is the situation?" Jian Lan asked immediately.
"I lost."
"You are not even a match for me?"
"I was defeated, but I only used the seventh level of strength. Of course, Jian Chen may have some reservations, and he is estimated to be slightly better than me. No matter how strong he is, he can't be much stronger." Jian Ming said with a smile.
"That's not enough to constitute a threat, but we don't know his actual intention?" Jian Lan thought hard.
"I think this guy has also taken a fancy to Junior Sister Jianying and wants to show off in front of his goddess." Jian Ming seemed to intend to annoy Jian Lan and said: "By the way, it's a coincidence that I was on the way.
At this time, I happened to meet Junior Sister Jianying, and I must have just met Jian Chen, but I don’t know the content of their conversation, but I can feel that Junior Sister Jianying’s mood is not very good.”
"Haha, this kid Jian Chen is really getting more and more annoying." Jian Lan smiled coldly, and even had murderous intentions towards Lin Chen in her heart.
"But senior brother, you don't have to be so concerned. If you let that kid be proud for a while, you will still be worried about not being able to deal with this kid when you get to the Wolf Valley!" Jian Ming snorted.
"You seem to have a grudge against him? Could it be that you suffered a loss?" Jian Lan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I still can't hide it from you, Master Lan. This kid is really arrogant. Before I tested him, he had to bet contribution points with me, so I gave him five thousand contribution points in vain." Jian Ming was a little depressed and said again: "
This guy is so eager to earn contribution points, isn't he just going to the Dragon Boat Festival?"
"Just relying on him? I really don't know how high the sky is!" Jian Lan was disdainful and said calmly: "Okay, you can go back and rest, and we will set off today. I want to see how dare this kid does this when we get to the Wolf Valley.
