19: Chapter 19 Did Jiang Ling Cheat?
"It's over!"
The next moment, Jiang Ling's body was whole again, reappearing in that original Chaos space.
"This is being teleported out after death!"
Jiang Ling took a deep breath.
"My combat experience is still insufficient!"
"I didn't expect this monster to have such a strange attack!"
Jiang Ling reflected on his death this time.
Fortunately, this was only a trial inside the trial tower; otherwise, he would have truly died.
This trial tower is truly too useful.
He had reached the twenty-first level in one go, comprehended Fist Intent and Saber Intent, and even obtained a Secret Manual for the Nine Slashes of the Blade Emperor.
Jiang Ling could be said to have had a bountiful harvest this time.
"I can Cultivate this Nine Slashes of the Blade Emperor when I get back!"
"And then come back to continue the challenge next time!"
Jiang Ling exited the trial tower and found many students gathered in front of the screen, discussing the historic event of him passing the twentieth level.
Jiang Ling didn't pay much attention to it.
Creating history or not had no impact on him.
What he wanted was to become the supreme existence of this world.
He quietly left the crowd and took the bus home.
With experience this time, Jiang Ling had purchased plenty of cooked food in advance, preparing to consume it while in seclusion.
Otherwise, eating dry rations all the time wouldn't do.
A Martial Artist has powerful Qi and blood, and consequently, a huge appetite, requiring the consumption of large amounts of energy-rich substances.
Meat is the best choice.
Jiang Ling prepared everything, then opened the Secret Manual for the Nine Slashes of the Blade Emperor.
"Nine Slashes of the Blade Emperor!"
"The Martial Artist inside said this was a Blade Technique he created, so, could it be that he is the Blade Emperor himself?"
"Did he leave his projection inside the trial tower to help future generations hone their Dao of martial arts?"
"Hiss!"
"The Blade Emperor from the ancient era, just how powerful must he have been!"
"His Nine Slashes of the Blade Emperor seemed not worth mentioning in his own words, but to me, it must be extraordinary!"
Thus, Jiang Ling began to study it in detail.
With the Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability of the Chaos Sacred Body, Jiang Ling's speed in comprehending new martial arts was extremely fast; basically, he could roughly understand it after one reading, execute it after the second, and achieve entry-level mastery after the third.
However, getting from entry-level to Great Perfection would still require some time.
"Hiss!"
After reading through the Nine Slashes of the Blade Emperor a few times, Jiang Ling was immediately shocked.
If an ordinary person were to Cultivate the Nine Slashes of the Blade Emperor, they would likely just treat it as an entry-level Basic Saber Technique.
But with Jiang Ling's Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability to learn the Nine Slashes of the Blade Emperor, he could see that every slash contained a kind of Saber Intent Law within it.
The Nine Slashes of the Blade Emperor consists of nine slashes, which are nine different types of strikes.
Each strike contains thousands of Profound Truths, allowing this strike to reach an irresistible state.
And each slash actually has thousands of variations, capable of evolving into attacks of completely different natures.
"Too profound, too profound!"
"This Nine Slashes of the Blade Emperor is truly a super Secret Manual!"
"I've hit the jackpot this time!"
Thus, Jiang Ling fell into a state of Epiphany, forgetting to eat and sleep.
This time, the time he spent Cultivating was even longer than for the Wind Thunder Slash.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed, and he had only just barely Cultivated the first slash to Major Achievement.
With his Comprehension Ability, it took seven days to Cultivate just one move, so one can imagine the difficulty and profundity of it!
However, with the foundation of the first move, it was much easier for Jiang Ling to comprehend the others.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, over a month had passed.
On this day, in Jiang Ling's rented room, a burst of wild laughter suddenly erupted, as if he had gone mad.
"Haha... it's finally done!"
"The Nine Slashes of the Blade Emperor, it has finally all reached Major Achievement!"
"Now, dealing with that monster covered in iron armor, although I wouldn't dare say I can one-shot it, nine slashes will definitely be enough to solve it!"
Just at this moment, Jiang Ling received a message.
"You have registered for the Great Xia Nation high school entrance examination; please attend on time tomorrow!"
"Your examination venue is the Yue City Central Examination Hall!"
"I've been in seclusion for over a month!"
"The entrance exam starts tomorrow!"
"I almost missed it!"
Jiang Ling stretched his back towards the sky, "Everything depends on tomorrow!"
Early the next morning, Jiang Ling arrived at school early, preparing to take the school bus to the examination site.
Just as he entered the classroom, Jiang Ling was met with countless strange looks.
Jiang Ling was already somewhat accustomed to this, going straight to his seat and completely ignoring these strange looks.
"This Jiang Ling is truly despicable!"
"In order to return to the Jiang Family, he actually cheated during the trial tower trial to gain attention!"
"I said it, with his F-rank Supernatural Ability, how could he possibly achieve such a battle record!"
"And I thought he was really some kind of Genius!"
"No way, you can cheat in the trial tower?"
"Of course you can!"
"You don't think the trial tower is omnipotent, right?"
"Let me tell you, there have been many incidents of cheating in the trial tower before!"
"The trial tower's precautions in this regard are not that strict!"
"Because the purpose of the trial tower is to improve one's own practical combat skills, not for empty fame!"
"Even if you cheat, it's of no use to yourself!"
"Only people who like to attract attention would adopt this method!"
These words reached Jiang Ling's ears, and Jiang Ling couldn't help but find it funny.
To think they said he was cheating!
He didn't go to explain at all!
After the entrance exam, everyone would go their separate ways, and the chances of meeting again in the future would be very slim.
Why bother arguing with them?
"Look, he doesn't even dare to stand up and defend himself!"
"If he didn't cheat, why doesn't he defend himself?"
Jiang Ling's behavior, on the contrary, made these students even more convinced of the truth of Jiang Ling's cheating.
"You are talking nonsense!"
Wang Hu angrily scolded these people at this moment: "How are you so sure that Jiang Ling is cheating?"
"Do you have any evidence?"
Jiang Ling didn't argue, but Wang Hu and the others were furious.
They didn't believe Jiang Ling would do such a thing.
"Evidence?"
"Does this even need evidence?"
"An F-rank Supernatural Ability, passing twenty levels, breaking the record of Xiangnan Province!"
"If this isn't cheating, then what is?"
Those people mocked disdainfully.
Wang Hu and the others were about to argue with them, but were stopped by Jiang Ling.
"Wang Hu!"
"Don't argue with them!"
"It's not necessary!"
"Jiang Ling, are you just going to let them slander you like this?"
Wang Hu said angrily.
"It doesn't matter!"
Jiang Ling shrugged his shoulders and said: "Whether I cheated or not, it's enough that I know it myself!"
"Why bother explaining to them?"
"After today, I probably won't see them again!"
"Why must I obtain their approval?"
