62: The owner sama

Jiang Luoli: "..."

She almost choked on her breath.

Is this kid a bit too calm?

Facing this sharp blade strike, Su Chen neither dodged nor avoided it.

The moment Jiang Luoli struck with her blade, the "Master of Five Weapons" ability within him began to operate spontaneously.

In his eyes, the trajectory, power, and force-exertion technique of Jiang Luoli's strike...

...and even that trace of "Blade Soul" intent contained within it...

...all became incredibly clear.

They were instantly analyzed and copied by his brain.

Just as the blade was about to reach his body, Su Chen moved.

He stepped aside, advanced, and reached out, his movements smooth as flowing water.

Su Chen's large hand accurately gripped Jiang Luoli's slender, fair wrist that held the blade.

Then, he used her momentum.

With a gentle lead and a snatch...

Jiang Luoli felt her wrist go numb as a clever force was transmitted.

The Azure Frost Blade actually slipped from her hand and fell into Su Chen's palm.

As soon as the blade was in his hand, Su Chen's temperament changed abruptly.

His aura instantly merged with the Tang blade, and an overbearing aura of looking down on the world and commanding weaponry arose spontaneously.

Without even looking, he swung the blade with a backhand.

A cyan blade light, almost identical to Jiang Luoli's previous strike, burst through the air; its power, speed, and even the trace of "Blade Soul" intent within it were exactly the same as Jiang Luoli's.

The blade light slashed onto a distant alloy target, leaving a deep mark as sparks flew everywhere.

That alloy target was something only a Rank 4 martial artist could slightly shake.

Jiang Luoli froze on the spot, her beautiful eyes wide and her red lips slightly parted, completely speechless.

Su Chen didn't seem to have had enough fun yet.

He tossed Jiang Luoli's Tang blade back to her, and with a thought, a massive hammer slowly took shape in his hand.

He swung the hammer, which looked like it weighed at least several tons, and struck hard.

The alloy target shattered completely!

Next, as if she were immobilized, Jiang Luoli quietly watched Su Chen skillfully shape and manipulate various types of weapons.

Staves, crossbow bolts, swords, spears...

With every weapon, he was as proficient as if he had used them for hundreds of years like old friends.

Each one could reach the proficiency level of Jiang Luoli's "Blade Soul."

"Master of Five Weapons... Is this the power of a conceptual, rule-based ability?"

"If it weren't for that association president being so authoritative, I would even suspect there was a problem with his ability rating."

Waves of shock surged in Jiang Luoli's heart.

Originally, she only appreciated Su Chen's potential and character, viewing him as a "target for investment" and a "junior" with great potential.

But at this moment, Su Chen's status in her heart instantly rose to an unprecedented height.

This guy is simply a monster.

If she could tie this peerless opportunity to her side, fighting against those decaying old fogies of the Jiang Family would be a piece of cake.

For a moment, her breathing became much heavier.

"I must have him, no matter what."

"Even if I have to use myself as a bargaining chip."

The way she looked at Su Chen was instantly filled with an unprecedented possessiveness.

It was the look of a business world strongwoman seeing a massive profit that could change the status quo.

Mixed with it was a trace of a woman's admiration and determination to win over a powerful man she favored.

Not to mention being a concubine.

If she could bind herself to such a future supreme being, even being a concubine would be Jiang Luoli climbing to a higher social status.

Su Chen tested all the weapons he had manipulated, then nodded slightly toward Jiang Luoli.

"Senior, I didn't actually hurt you, so I won't trouble you to be my concubine."

He originally thought his teasing would make Jiang Luoli's face turn red and lead her to swing her blade at him.

But she did nothing.

She just slowly walked over, hugged his arm again, and rubbed her ample curves against his body.

There was even a hint of charm in her voice.

"Xiao Chen... You really are a monster."

Su Chen didn't even notice that the word "Junior" had disappeared from the way his senior addressed him.

He just smiled slightly, keeping his achievements and fame hidden.

"Senior, you went easy on me. It's because you taught me well."

The subsequent ability level test further confirmed Jiang Luoli's judgment.

The test results showed that Su Chen's current spiritual power level and physical strength had remarkably reached the level of a Rank 3 martial artist.

Having Rank 3 strength right after awakening—this cultivation speed was simply unheard of.

As for his mental strength, under Su Chen's deliberate control, it only showed a level slightly above Rank 3.

He hadn't fully grown yet, so exposing too many abilities wouldn't be good.

But even so, the strength he displayed was enough to shock Jiang Luoli.

At this moment, the abacus in her heart was clicking away.

She had already begun planning how to mobilize all resources to raise Su Chen's strength as quickly as possible.

And how to make him utterly devoted to her.

"Xiao Chen."

"Go home now and rest well."

"Gather here in three days to collect the newcomer benefits from the organization and perhaps the 'mysterious item' you really want."

...

Meanwhile, Paris City, Western Alliance.

This metropolis, famous worldwide for its romance, also held a secret unknown to most people.

It was the location of the headquarters of the world's largest martial artist organization, the "Huayu Association."

However, its headquarters was situated in a hidden location.

It was a castle full of Gothic style.

Inside a dark room filled with occult style, piled with ancient books, crystal balls, and strange instruments.

If Su Chen were here, he would likely discover that this room's layout was not much different from the Huayu Association headquarters in Jianghai City.

Even the mysterious little props next to the bookshelf were no different from those in Jianghai City.

However, at this moment, a small leather whip was being used by someone.

A woman.

Oh, no.

To be precise, it was a stunning witch wearing a complex black lace gown and a wide-brimmed witch hat.

She was reclining lazily on a high-backed chair.

She had long hair as pure as snow, skin so pale it was almost transparent, and facial features as delicate as a doll's.

Especially those scarlet eyes, like the purest rubies, deep and eerie.

However, at this moment, her eyes looked bedroomy, and her pretty face was flushed.

Simply because that small red leather whip was tightly wrapped around her slender waist, revealing her proud curves.

Naturally, there was no one else present.

The other end of the small leather whip was stuck by something to the hand of a person in a giant portrait.

The person in the portrait...

...was an extremely handsome man wearing hero's attire.

However, what was surprising was that while the painting and the man's attire had strong Western characteristics, the man himself had a typical Eastern face.

"Mr. Hero... Your Demon King Miss misses you so much..."

Suggestive murmurs kept coming from the woman's mouth.

A thousand years.

It has already been nearly a thousand years.
