âIt seems like Xu Sheng has a feud with Jiang Chen.â
There were several people standing on the city wall which wasnât too far from the plaza. Even though they were a certain distance away, they could still see more of what was going on than the people in the plaza could.
The might of the Myriads Transformations Golden Flame born by Jiang Chen vastly surpassed the power of most other people.
âYou canât say that. Jiang Chen has the Sky-burning Evil Flame, and itâs obvious that he must increase the difficulty for him,â a tall and sturdy man said in a low muffled voice.
âEmperor Zhan Wu, Iâm just speaking here. So, please donât get so anxious,â the person, who had spoken previously, said with a smile.
The people on the wall were the Red Blood Fieldâs Emperors, and they were gathered here for the recruitment day. Ten seconds had passed while they were speaking, and after the Myriad Transformations Golden Flame dispersed, most people who went through the test felt dizzy and fell on the ground. Black smoke was rising from their whole bodies. Even a ghost-grade disciple was among those people. However, some of the people were still standing. They were Jiang Chen and another disciple.
The crowd discovered in surprise that Jiang Chen was as calm and composed as if he hadnât just experienced the Alien Flameâs test.
âDid Xu Sheng let him pass it on purpose?â The crowd couldnât help but have such a thought.
The people aware of the inside story couldnât help but admire Jiang Chenâs fire control. Such a person was the most suitable for the Heavenly Fire Army.
âYou arenât qualified.â
However, what none of the crowd had expected was that Xu Sheng would point his finger at Jiang Chen and say such a thing as he announced the results. Everyone was surprised by this, including Jiang Chen.
âWhy?â Jiang Chen asked.
âIf I say that you arenât qualified, then you arenât. In the army, you must follow orders without questioning them. If you even canât manage that, why did you come here?â Xu Sheng didnât explain anything and just berated him. This young general was targeting Jiang Chen for some unknown reason.
Emperor Zhan Wu, who was on the city wall, felt the odd gazes of the people next to him. âXu Sheng must have noticed something,â he said.
The other emperors didnât speak. Even though this was unfair, saying something would offend the bad-tempered Emperor Zhan Wu. They werenât willing to risk that just for Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was wondering how he had offended this person. âIs Li Changqingâs influence so great?â he asked himself. Jiang Chen wasnât sure that Li Changqing had anything to do with it because there was a large distance between the Divine War Clanâs land and the Red Blood Field.
âFine!â When Jiang Chen witnessed that no one came forward to speak for him, he didnât bother with Xu Sheng any longer. Instead, he planned to go to the Wind March Army or Raging Lightning Army.
âNone of the five armies wonât accept you. So youâd better just leave quickly!â Xu Sheng didnât give up. It seemed as though he wanted to corner him.
The crowd started discussing what was going on.
âJiang Chen must have offended Xu Sheng.â
âJiang Chen is known for his bad temper so thatâs quite likely.â
âOne must always behave with integrity and keep a low-profile.â
The crowd didnât get angry due to Xu Shengâs actions, and it was obvious from their tones that they took joy in Jiang Chenâs misfortune.
âAsk that person to come out!â Jiang Chen was silent for several seconds before he spoke.
âWhat do you mean?â Xu Sheng furrowed his brow and looked at Jiang Chen with his sharp gaze.
âIâm talking about the person who is transmitting his voice to you in secret.â Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders calmly as if he had already seen through it.
Xu Shengâs expression changed slightly, and he was just about to berate Jiang Chen when the clear sound of footsteps echoed.
âJiang Chen, did you ever imagine that you would have such a day?â
Jiang Chen found the personâs voice quite familiar. He quickly recalled who it was.
âAlmost all of my acquaintances assembled here today.â Jiang Chen suddenly had a flash of realization, and he curled the corners of his mouth.
âThat really is a familiar-looking loathsome smile,â the person who came over said in mockery.
Jiang Chen said, âArenât you afraid that I will kill you?â
There were only a few women in the Nine Realms who would let Jiang Chen adopt such an attitude, and the one ranked first among them was none other than Tang Shiya.
Tang Shiya had undergone a great transformation, and she didnât conform to Jiang Chenâs previous impression of her. She didnât have her former elegant air, and it was probably because she was wearing armor. Jiang Chen was aware that this was just a public facade.
At this moment, Tang Shiyaâs feet were wearing combat boots which reached her knees. It could be discerned from the decorative designs on them that they belonged to the set of armor worn by her, which shone with a metallic glint. Tang Shiyaâs snow-white thighs were exposed, and she wore metallic armor pieces above her skirt. It could be seen that this armor was made especially for her. She was both beautiful and soldierly.
However, regardless of how her demeanor had changed, her beautiful face still possessed the same charm as before.
âYou are still looking down on me, arenât you? You will pay a grave price for this sooner or later.â Tang Shiya smiled gracefully, while her black eyes became ice-cold. She said, âItâs only me who can attack you here.â
When her voice echoed, the soldiers of all five armies on the plaza looked at Jiang Chen with a hostile gaze.
It was only then that Jiang Chen discovered that her position in the army was a commander, and he found it quite unbelievable. This woman had really grown stronger quickly. However, as he recalled the cultivation method she had cultivated, he understood everything.
âWhich person has she harmed once again to get such quick growth in power?â
After Ning Haotian, Tang Shiyaâs Love Thread Tribulation Technique should have succeeded once or twice more. Tang Shiyaâs body was becoming more powerful, while her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. Moreover, she was also fostered and trained by the resources of the Wizard Clanâs dual-pupils wielder, and the current Tang Shiya was completely different than how she had been in the past.
âThe Love Thread Tribulation Technique isnât as horrendous as you say. If it was, I wouldnât have practiced it diligently.â
Tang Shiya transmitted her voice to him, and said, âIf I feel that Iâm in love with you now, you will reach the apex in a single step. Do you want it?â
After Tang Shiya spoke, she revealed a charming smile. She wanted to personally hear Jiang Chen express his regrets.
âI donât want it.â Jiang Chen shook his head. He really pitied her, and he said, âSuch a smile wouldnât have appeared on your face in the past. Do you think that itâs worth it?â
Upon understanding what he meant by this, Tang Shiya flew into a rage.
âWhy are you speaking to me in such a tone, and what do you mean by this? Stop looking down on me. Iâm still...â When Tang Shiya was about to blurt it out, she restrained herself in time, and she took a look at her surroundings. She said, âIâm still a virgin, and besides you, I didnât even need to kiss even another man to let him fall in love with me. They are really foolish and stupid:â
âYou should be careful while playing with fire,â Jiang Chen said.
âWith your crazy actions, are you qualified to say this to me?â Tang Shiya said mockingly.
The expression of Xu Sheng, who was on the other side, became gloomy. He couldnât bear to observe Jiang Chenâs chat with Tang Shiya.
âQuickly leave, or I will kill you mercilessly,â Xu Sheng shouted.
The soldiers of the five armies rushed over, encircling Jiang Chen.
âWhat? You are blocking my path, yet you are forbidding from staying here? You are really awe-inspiring! I just want to ask who gave you the right to drive me out even though Iâm not a member of the Red Blood Field? Are you the Field Master?â
Upon facing such slanders, Xu Sheng was left at a loss for words.
âYou still have a sharp tongue,â Tang Shiya said.
Upon hearing this, anger appeared on Xu Shengâs face, and he said, âIf I asked you to get lost, then just get lost!â Xu Shengâs thunderous voice echoed, and the whole plaza went into an uproar. The five armiesâ soldiers had a great fighting spirit, and they all went after Jiang Chen. The other disciples just wore a gleeful expression and took delight in Jiang Chenâs misfortune. Jiang Chen was able to get a quota for himself, and this was why they were happy to see him suffer bad luck.
âStop!â
While they were at daggers drawn, a crisp voice echoed, and a female general came forward. She was followed by Tian Ling, whose face was filled with concern.
âItâs Cang Yue! Sheâs a general on a par with Xu Sheng.â
âIt seems like Jiang Chen is also supported by someone.â
âWe will get to watch a good show.â
Cang Yue, who was mentioned by the crowd, was as beautiful as Tang Shiya. But, unlike the latter, she possessed a haughty and unyielding character.
âJiang Chen is my little sisterâs friend. Why are you driving him out?â Cang Yue looked at Xu Sheng.
âWhy? Heâs my friendâs enemy. Isnât that enough?â Xu Sheng said coldly.
âDo you think that the Red Blood Field is owned by your family?â Cang Yue said angrily.
âAll Red Blood Fieldâs people are warlike and respect true experts. Simply being able to walk doesnât get you any rights here,â Xu Sheng said.
âDo you think that you are stronger than me?â Cang Yue narrowed her eyes. Her great fighting spirit was apparent.
âBrother Xu Sheng, just let it be, and donât cause disharmony in the Red Blood Field for me.â It was at this moment that Tang Shiya spoke while wearing an innocent expression as if everything wasnât related to her, and this conflict wasnât caused by her.
