Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed upon hearing this, a glint of coldness flashing within them. This Jiang Nan was going too far.
Having no cultivation truly made one looked down upon; many would bully them. However, Jiang Chen was not only not lacking in cultivation now, but he was also stronger than before, so he naturally wouldn't fear this Jiang Nan.
Currently, Jiang Chen wasn't releasing his aura, so everyone still thought he had no cultivation.
Generally speaking, when the difference in strength wasn't significant, one needed the other party to expose their aura to sense their specific cultivation level.
Jiang Chen was currently at the Martial Artist Realm, Fourth Level. If a stronger expert at the Martial Master Realm or above were present, they could discern Jiang Chen's specific cultivation even if he didn't release his aura.
This was the gap in cultivation realms.
Everyone present was at the Martial Artist Realm. Since Jiang Chen wasn't releasing his aura, they naturally couldn't know his realm.
"Whether I'm qualified to be here isn't up to you, Jiang Nan. You don't have the right to tell me to leave. This Jiang Family isn't run by you, Jiang Nan," Jiang Chen said coldly.
"If you know what's good for you, get out of my way," Jiang Chen continued.
Since Jiang Nan was looking for trouble, Jiang Chen wouldn't be polite.
"Jiang Chen, you dare to speak to me like this when you have no cultivation? You're courting death. It seems you don't know how to write the word 'death' without a lesson," Jiang Nan said furiously.
Jiang Chen, this good-for-nothing, had actually retorted to him in front of so many people, causing him to lose face.
After speaking, Jiang Nan reached out a large hand towards Jiang Chen.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen grabbed Jiang Nan's hand.
Seeing that Jiang Chen dared to fight back, Jiang Nan decided to increase his strength to shake Jiang Chen away.
Jiang Chen's strength was immense; he didn't budge at all.
"Damn it, get lost!" Jiang Nan's aura erupted, the aura of the Martial Artist Realm, Third Level, permeating the air as his strength surged.
Jiang Chen's aura also surged, releasing the aura of the Martial Artist Realm, Fourth Level.
"What? Jiang Chen's cultivation is still there?" Many were shocked.
The aura Jiang Chen was emitting now was that of the Martial Artist Realm, Fourth Level.
Jiang Chen's cultivation was still there?
This was the question on many people's minds. No wonder Jiang Chen wasn't afraid of this Jiang Nan; his cultivation was still intact, and it had even advanced further than before.
"You think you can make a move on me with just this? How laughable. You're the one who should get lost," Jiang Chen sneered.
Jiang Nan felt a powerful force coming from Jiang Chen's hand.
Jiang Nan was sent flying by Jiang Chen, landing face-first on the ground.
"Boom." The ground even shook slightly. After all, Jiang Nan was quite plump.
"Wow." Many people watched this scene in shock. Jiang Chen had so easily sent Jiang Nan flying, indicating his strength was formidable.
"Ah, Jiang Chen, you're asking for death!" Jiang Nan roared in anger.
In front of so many people, he had been sent flying by Jiang Chen. If he didn't get his revenge, where would his dignity go?
"Nine Yang Fist!" Jiang Nan directly unleashed a martial skill on Jiang Chen. This time, Jiang Nan held nothing back. He knew Jiang Chen's strength was considerable.
Previously, he had assumed Jiang Chen had no cultivation, which was why he hadn't used a martial skill. He had underestimated his opponent and suffered a great loss.
"Hmph, Eight Desolations Palm." Jiang Chen snorted and struck out with his palm.
However, Jiang Chen held back. If he had gone all out, he might have killed Jiang Nan.
Their fists and palms collided, resulting in a muffled thud.
"Ah..." Jiang Nan's face turned pale, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood. His entire body was sent flying over ten meters, crashing heavily onto the ground.
"Brother Nan!" Several of his subordinates cried out in alarm upon seeing this and immediately rushed to check on Jiang Nan's condition.
Seeing that Jiang Nan was only injured, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Even though there were no serious injuries, he would still need five to six days to recover.
"You dare to act so arrogant in front of me with just this little strength? This is a lesson for you this time. If you dare to provoke me again, I won't be so lenient," Jiang Chen said coldly.
Jiang Chen's words made everyone gasp.
Jiang Chen had the confidence to say such things.
"Jiang Chen, you have guts. I will definitely get my revenge," Jiang Nan declared fiercely, even with his injuries.
"Let's see if you have the strength for that. You're no match for me," Jiang Chen replied dismissively.
"You..." Jiang Nan was so angered by Jiang Chen's words that he almost spat out another mouthful of blood, but he managed to restrain himself.
"Let's go," Jiang Nan finally said, leading his subordinates away.
After his brief confrontation with Jiang Chen, he had been injured by a single move, proving Jiang Chen's strength was far superior to his.
Now that he was injured, he was even less likely to be Jiang Chen's opponent. Staying here wouldn't help him against Jiang Chen, so he could only retreat for now.
Jiang Chen had defeated Jiang Nan, and many cast looks of awe upon him. This Jiang Chen had become even stronger.
The strong always earned respect wherever they went.
This time, no one dared to block Jiang Chen's path. They all parted to make way.
Jiang Chen paid no mind to the others and headed towards the Martial Skill Pavilion.
Guarding the Martial Arts Pavilion was an old man. Rumor had it he was over a hundred years old, yet Jiang Tian, the head of the Jiang Family, treated him with great respect. No one knew his actual name.
Rumor had it he wasn't surnamed Jiang, but was an outsider, and many people called him Elder Huo.
Although he was old, he looked to be around sixty.
"Disciple Jiang Chen, here to purchase a martial art," Jiang Chen said.
"Go pick one yourself. The prices are listed on them. Once you've chosen, come back here, and we'll record it. Then you can copy it," the elder said with a faint smile.
He had seen the scene just now where Jiang Chen defeated Jiang Nan. He hadn't expected the Jiang Family to produce such a formidable genius.
He could tell that Jiang Chen hadn't used his full strength just now, and Jiang Chen's Blood Essence was incredibly vigorous, far exceeding that of a Martial Artist Realm cultivator, indicating Jiang Chen's extraordinary nature.
Being no ordinary person, he naturally saw more than others.
"Alright," Jiang Chen nodded calmly.
Then he went to choose a martial art.
The first floor housed Tier 1 and Tier 2 martial arts. Both tiers of martial arts were stored in different areas.
Jiang Chen's primary goal this time was to cultivate a Tier 2 martial art. Tier 1 martial arts were no longer of much use to him.
"Tier 2 martial art, Draw Sword Slash." Jiang Chen's interest was piqued by the name.
He had obtained a top-grade Tier 2 long saber from Luo Cheng. Wasn't this Draw Sword Slash precisely a saber technique martial art?
"Tier 2 martial art, Draw Sword Slash. A charging martial art. The longer the charge, the greater the power. It has relatively high requirements for the physical body..."
As Jiang Chen read the description of Draw Sword Slash, his eyes lit up.
Draw Sword Slash could unleash up to five times the user's base power.
For example, if a normal move of yours dealt one hundred damage, but you performed Draw Sword Slash with a charge reaching the five-times maximum, it would deal five hundred damage.
Due to the excessively high power bonus, it placed a certain burden on the physical body. Therefore, it was not recommended to cultivate this martial art without a strong physique.
