"Ah? Is he really that impressive? Could there be a mistake?" Zhao Rong still found it hard to believe.
"From now on, you must show respect to Mr. Jiang; he is your chief instructor," Liu Liangmei warned in a serious tone.
"Oh," Zhao Rong replied softly, nodding slightly. However, she still felt a bit skeptical, especially since Jiang Chen looked to be about her age. But if he could earn Instructor Liu's respect, he must possess real skills.
Soon, Jiang Chen's reputation spread among the young members of the Martial Arts Special Forces. Yet, without witnessing it firsthand, some still harbored doubts.
The next day, news spread through Fenglin City that a hundred-meter-high mountain on the banks of Tuojiang had been split in two by an earthquake the previous night.
Zeng Xianyi, Li Yang, Liu Liangmei, and others went to the site of the incident at dawn. The night before had been dark and rainy, so they hadn’t seen clearly. Today, with clear skies, they saw the scar left by Jiang Chen's sword.
A massive cleft appeared as if a giant had used an axe to split the mountain in half—truly a work of divine craftsmanship.
Zeng Xianyi and the others stood in shock for a while before gradually coming to their senses. Although they had encountered martial arts masters before, they had never witnessed such extraordinary power.
In the Divine Realm, one could shatter a boulder with Inner Energy, which everyone could accept. But this was a hundred-meter-high mountain! Even using super bombs would struggle to achieve such destruction. Jiang Chen's sword strike was more formidable than any super bomb—simply unbelievable.
"Is this really what Mr. Jiang left behind last night?" Zeng Xianyi asked, his mouth slightly agape and his face filled with astonishment.
"It must be; otherwise, it wouldn't have caused such a commotion. People in Fenglin City thought there was an earthquake last night," Li Yang said quietly.
"I never expected human strength could be so terrifying; it's truly unfathomable," Zeng Xianyi remarked with awe.
"Brother Yi, it seems we have underestimated this world. I always thought modern weaponry could suppress martial arts, but now it appears that some martial arts might even surpass our Super Weapons," Li Yang said, shaking his head in shock and concern.
"A powerhouse like Mr. Jiang is likely rare to find in a thousand years. However, I believe that splitting a mountain with one sword cannot be considered the pinnacle of swordsmanship. Mr. Jiang's sword might truly achieve 'one sword illuminating all nineteen continents,'" Ye Xiaoying said reverently.
The group fell silent, their respect for Jiang Chen deepening.
After spending a day in Xiangxi, Jiang Chen left for the capital the next day. The matters concerning Sang Xiang were handed over to military personnel. The main reason for Jiang Chen's return to the capital was that Zeng Xianyi insisted on holding a Major General conferment ceremony for him; only this way could the official recognition be deeply imprinted on Jiang Chen.
The official process was quite cumbersome and typically required at least a week's waiting time. However, due to Jiang Chen's impatience and Zeng Xianyi personally overseeing the matter, he was conferred without delay.
"Major General Jiang, when will you have time to guide the Martial Arts Special Forces?" After the ceremony concluded, Zeng Xianyi approached Jiang Chen and couldn't help but ask.
"In the next few days, I need to visit Treasure Island with Pavilion Master Liu. I'll guide them when I return," Jiang Chen replied. Since he had accepted official duties, he naturally needed to contribute some effort.
"Alright then," Zeng Xianyi nodded with a smile.
