Secret Weapon

To Xiao Chen's surprise, Fang An did not go into the slightest bit about everything Fei Ying had told him. After conversing with Fei Ying, Fang An led Xiao Chen to the room that had been prepared for them and rested.

"Master, you don't want to ask about what happened between this disciple and the Flower of Sin killers?" Xiao Chen finally chose to speak first.

"Elder Fei of the Liu family has already told me everything." Fang An answered briefly.

Xiao Chen smiled awkwardly, confused by the situation he was in. Fang An did not question Xiao Chen's high level of ability nor the reason he killed so many people so easily and seemed unbothered by it all.

Actually, what caught Fang An's attention even more was that Xiao Chen's clothes were so clean, there were barely any traces of blood. This meant that all of Xiao Chen's opponents were killed in a single strike by his hands, as per Fei Ying's story.

Fang An could faintly feel the killing aura on Xiao Chen's body, what actually interested him more was where did Xiao Chen learn to hide this kind of killing aura from.

"Master has always believed that Chen'er is a gifted disciple, so Master is not surprised that you have such high abilities." Fang An smiled as he stroked Xiao Chen's head, "Master is sure that Chen'er's heart is actually gentle."

Xiao Chen couldn't hold himself back, he hugged Fang An tightly. In this life and in his previous life, only Fang An could accept it wholeheartedly.

"Disciple will not let Master down, Disciple will become someone Master can be proud of." whispered Xiao Chen.

"Chen'er, Master has always been proud of you." Fang An felt warm in his chest seeing his disciple so filial.

Fang An didn't care if Xiao Chen was able to kill like a cold-blooded killer as long as his reason was to protect himself and the people precious to him.

"Returning from the Capital, Master wants you to take the exam at the Tower of the Hundred Swords. With your skills you will become the best student of your generation and also the youngest Sword Elder in history in the future." Fang An reminded.

Xiao Chen scratched his cheek, not knowing how to answer Fang An but in the end Xiao Chen nodded slowly.

The Tower of the Hundred Swords was one of the most important buildings in the Valley of the Hundred Swords. The tower has four floors and is a test for all sect disciples.

If one could clear the first floor then he already had a third class warrior, clearing the second meant he was equal to a second class warrior while being able to pass the third floor meant equaling a first class warrior.

Those who cleared the first floor of the Tower of the Hundred Swords would be called Outer Disciples, those who cleared the second floor were called Inner Disciples, while those who cleared the third floor were Elite Disciples.

If one could clear the fourth floor of the Hundred Swords Tower it meant they were an expert warrior. Those who complete this are no longer students but teachers or administrators of sects and hold other important positions.

Those who cleared the fourth floor before the age of 30 could have the chance to become one of the Sword Elders.

Fang An saw that as long as Xiao Chen's development speed remained the same then by the time the two returned to the Valley of the Hundred Swords, Xiao Chen should be able to clear the fourth floor of the Tower of the Hundred Swords.

At that time, Xiao Chen was the youngest teacher in history. Fang An was sure that Jiang Kun would pay attention to Xiao Chen and provide him with valuable resources. The position of Sword Elder had definitely gone to Xiao Chen and it was not impossible that Jiang Kun would choose Xiao Chen to be his successor as Sect Master.

Little did Fang An know that Xiao Chen was disinterested in all that, becoming the sect leader was not something that Xiao Chen wanted.

Xiao Chen knew that in the martial world, a position was indeed important but what was more important was possessing high abilities. Xiao Chen's current focus was on himself becoming so much stronger that he was able to protect the Valley of the Hundred Swords and the people precious to him from anyone who tried to harm him.

Fang An felt quite exhausted, fighting three skilled swordsmen at his condition was indeed not an easy matter. Both of them then chose to rest and restore their body condition.

At the same time, news of the massacre at the residence had spread throughout the small town. The mayor as well as the security guards came to investigate.

Liu Cheng used his family's influence to quell all the trouble, after all neither the leader nor the local officials had the strength to take on the Flower of Sin Organization even if they wanted to.

"The Flower of Sin Organization not only failed the mission but also lost three skilled warriors. At their peak, they only had 300 skilled warriors, losing three such powerful members would be a heavy blow to them." Xiao Chen thought as he digested the situation again.

According to Xiao Chen, after this incident, the Flower of Sin would be even more careful in operating and improving the abilities of their members. The development of this organization was also definitely slower compared to his previous life.

When night fell, Liu Cheng came to Fang An and Xiao Chen's room to invite the two of them to have dinner.

"Elder Fang, we truly owe you a great debt." Liu Cheng raised his glass and paid tribute to Fang An.

Xiao Chen glanced at Fei Ying and Wu Ya who were also at the dining table. After being discovered, Wu Ya was no longer hiding in Liu Cheng's shadow.

Liu Cheng then handed a box containing thirty secret weapons to Xiao Chen. Previously, Xiao Chen had indeed asked Liu Cheng to collect the secret weapons owned by the assassins of the Flower of Sin in the gold and purple masks. Xiao Chen discovered that the quality of the secret weapons used by the Flower of Sin Assassin was different for each of their levels.

Fang An narrowed his eyes when he realized the contents of the box, moreover Xiao Chen immediately kept the six small knives around his waist before storing the rest.

"Brother Fang's disciple is really different from his age." Fei Ying chuckled at Xiao Chen's actions.

Fei Ying signaled one of the maids, not long after, the maid brought out a larger wooden box and handed it to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen frowned, when he opened the box he found a short sword that matched his size. The sword has a light blue scabbard, is decorated with several precious stones and on the hilt is a white eagle head carving.

Everyone could see Xiao Chen being enthusiastic because of the sword.
