Chapter 244 - Chains of Dark Prison (1/2)

Who was Huang Jianchen?

Others might not know him, but Liu Qingyan was very clear about him. Last year, she was invited to a banquet that was specially prepared for young persons from aristocratic families in the Forbidden City.

There were only the most outstanding figures on this banquet, and Huang Jianchen was one of them.

He sat there drinking in silence, looking extremely ordinary and insignificant.

But one thing that happened later impressed Liu Qingyan deeply.

At the banquet, some young persons came up with an idea to compete in martial arts to warm up the atmosphere.

Just then, Huang Jianchen shook his head and straight away bid his goodbyes. His action immediately aroused many people’s discontent.

But Huang Jianchen didn’t care about them at all. He turned around and left, which thoroughly angered one of the most famous member present.

The man, named Lu Guanxing, came from the middle-class aristocratic family, Lu Clan, and was also a gifted and talented person. He was well-known among these disciples.

Lu Guanxing stopped Huang to seek an answer for his rudeness. However, this brilliant genius with excellent fighting ability was seriously injured by Huang Jianchen in one move. It made the audience panic and the atmosphere dull in silence.

At that time, Huang Jianchen just laughed and shook his head, dropped an evaluation of “pretty but not practical martial arts” and went on.

As this matter was too shameful, all in the banquet no longer mentioned it in order not to offend Lu Guanxing and few people who were absent from this banquet knew about this.

As a guest of the banquet, Liu Qingyan knew clearly how frightful the fighting power of Huang Jianchen was. It was far beyond comparisons for the average people.

Under his ordinary appearance, he actually hid a fierce heart like a beast. In a fight, he turned into a bloodthirsty beast whose momentum was extremely horrifying.

Now, Shie Yutang made it known to all that Lin Xun’s opponent was actually Huang Jianchen. He was obviously aiming to defeat Lin Xun and disgrace his reputation!

This made Liu Qingyan feel really uncomfortable. Without Lin Xun, she would not know where to find someone to help her repair the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina.

Nowadays, Lin Xun was regarded as an enemy and oppressed by the influential persons who followed her. How could Liu Qingyan take this for granted?

Even Granny Wind beside Liu couldn’t help frowning and said, “Although a fight sets all feuds, hyping the news has indeed gone too far.”

“Granny Wind, as far as I know, although Huang Jianchen is Huang Jianxiong’s brother, they weren’t friendly at all. I don’t think Huang Jianchen is willing to participate in this fight.” Liu Qingyan suddenly expressed her view.

“Shie Yutang invited him.”

Granny Wind explained, “Huang Jianchen has to give Shie Yutang face even if he might have been unwilling to do this.”

Liu Qingyan pondered for a long time with her brows frowned and finally sighed, “It’s too late to recover since it has already happened. I just hope that Huang Jianchen will not hurt Lin too much, otherwise…”

Granny Wind immediately comforted, “Don’t worry, Miss. I will not let Lin Xun be killed.”

Knowing this, Liu Qingyan was still a little depressed. She only hoped that Lin Xun could win, so that no bad thing would happen again.

…

“Jin, do you know Huang Jianchen?”

As soon as Lin Xun returned home, he asked Shue Jin directly.

“Why do you mention this person?”

Shue Jin was surprised.

Lin Xun had asked this question casually so he was rather astonished to see Shue Jin’s reaction since he’d never thought that people like Shue Jin would have heard of Huang Jianchen.

Lin Xun talked about the fight three days later.

“He is your opponent?”

Shue Jin frowned, “It seems that Shie Yutang whole-heartedly intends to put you in a losing position.”

Lin Xun was confused, “Is Huang Jianchen really that strong?”

Shue Jin murmured, “Three years ago, when Huang Jianchen was thirteen years old, he stormed a pass and broke through the Human-Gang Spirit Realm, and condensing a rare second grade Pond of Spiritual Power `Chains of Dark Prison’. Although it was a little inferior to the first-class Ponds of Spiritual Power, he could still practice some special fighting methods.

“As for the reason why I know him, his pond of spiritual power can allow him to practice a kind of inherited secret method in the Heiyao Shrine so they intended to apprentice him.”

Lin nodded, “What happened later?”

Shue Jin’s eyes flashed a different color, “He refused.”

“Why?”

At this point, Lin Xun unconsciously felt surprised as Heiyao Shrine was a very mysterious and powerful force, but Huang Jianchen had refused this opportunity to join it, which was mind-boggling.

“Yes, the reason for his refusal is very simple. He wants to take a completely different path from that of all the practitioners. He is very arrogant, but his will is really strong. He is not an exaggerator.”

Shue Jin’s words let Lin Xun have some impression about this unmet Huang Jianchen.

He was also clear that someone noticed by Heiyao Shrine would absolutely not be a simple one.

“It seems that Shie Yutang has found a strong challenger for me this time…”

Lin Xun was thoughtful at that moment.

“Are you afraid?”

Shue Jin asked.

“Do you think I am?”

Lin Xun got up with a smile and turned to enter his room.
