Everyone was aware that Xu Sheng was Emperor Zhan Wuâs trusted aid, and he even wanted to adopt him and make him his son. After Jiang Chenâs actions, all his plans were thwarted.
Everyone held their breaths. They were all tense and nervous.
Emperor Zhan Wu didnât disappoint them. He attacked without uttering a single word.
âA Divine Sun Illuminate the Sky!â
A radiant scarlet light beam shot out. Vapor rose in the air as it passed by.
Many people were startled because they didnât expect Emperor Zhan Wu to be so resolute. This was his famous ultimate technique. Once it was cast, everything in its scope would be destroyed.
Jiang Chen felt like he would soon die. When he was about to escape, the scarlet light beam came into contact with a barrier, keeping the beam about 32 feet from him.
Emperor Zhan Wu was infuriated. His voice was thunderous as he said, âEmpress Ling Long, you are ruining my affairs repeatedly. What do you mean by this?â
âJiang Chen is a member of Qi Li Continent, so how can I just sit calmly and let you attack him?â Empress Ling Long asked. âMoreover, he is still a disciple of the academy. If you kill him like this, you should be fully aware of the consequences you will suffer.â
Upon hearing her last words, Emperor Zhan Wu calmed down. The academyâs disciples were just employed by the Red Blood Field. The disciples helped them and worked for them in exchange for some benefits. Even if an academyâs disciple committed a crime, the disciple would be dealt with leniently. If the academyâs disciple wasnât in the wrong, no one would dare recklessly attack.
Emperor Zhan Wu lost his mind due to anger and almost forgot about the rules. He took several deep breaths and restrained his impulses. He looked at Jiang Chen with a sharp gaze before he restrained his stifling aura.
Xu Shengâs corpse was now turning to dust. The Myriad Transformations Golden Flameâs main source flew out of him.
The people present became restless, and their faces filled with greed.
âI will risk my life against anyone who dares tries to snatch it,â Emperor Zhan Wu said as he held the Transformations Golden Flameâs main source.
The people in the crowd restrained themselves. As they looked at the aggrieved and indignant Emperor Zhan Wu, none of them dared question his actions.
It was only after Emperor Zhan Wu left that the cityâs tense ambiance was alleviated.
Jiang Chen flew back to the sky and faced many ardent gazes. Before flying toward the Ferocious Tiger Battalion, he said, âAnyone who isnât willing to accept this can come over to challenge me.â
Many members of the Ling Long and Xuanji armies had vented their resentment. However, those members were eliminated. If that wasnât the case, they would have been more excited.
After they witnessed Jiang Chenâs great power, no one dared to grumble anymore.
âBesides the seven emperors, there are only five people who can contend against him.â
âIf he can get his own Martial Soul, he will surely become a Junior Heavenly King.â
âWhat a terrifying divine body!â
After a short while, the selection came to an end. The people who became officers stood on the plaza and chose the army they would join.
Xuanji Armyâs soldiers were all reluctant to part with Jiang Chen. When he stated that he would choose Xuanji Army, all five battalionsâ soldiers were startled.
As for the other armiesâ soldiers in the city who were awaiting the answer, they were all flabbergasted.
âXuanji Army? Isnât this tantamount to using a talented person in an insignificant position?â
âThere arenât any good future prospects in Xuanji Army. Does he want to continue carrying out exploration missions?â
âIf he just wants to seek Empress Ling Longâs protection, he should have chosen Ling Long Army.â
The crowd couldnât understand such a decision, but they still came up with many explanations for it. However, the true reason behind it was that Jiang Chen simply wanted to follow his heart.
After the selection, Jiang Chen received an officerâs badge and armor, which was a high magical treasure grade. What was most eye-catching was his cape.
Scarlet Sky Cityâs people gradually dispersed. News about the matter that occurred quickly spread to the whole Red Blood Field.
Upon learning that they would go back to Qi Li Continent, Jiang Chen was quite surprised. âShould we go back?â
âWhere do you want to go?â Tian Ling asked.
âDoesnât the Field Master plan to meet me?â Jiang Chen was confused.
Tian Ling and Cang Yue both smiled as they exchanged a glance.
âYou are now just an officer,â Cang Yue said. âYou shouldnât dream about it unless you can become another Emperor.â
Jiang Chen was taken aback. The incident with Tang Shiya had just occurred. He got many resources out of her. Even though he used most of them, he still had some left and planned to hand it over.
âIt seems like itâs better to turn big problems into small ones, and small problems into nothing,â he said.
On the way back, Jiang Chen detected something and took out his academic badge. He had become a ghost-grade disciple and received than 10,000 merit points.
âAn officerâs position is quite high.â Jiang Chen was surprised and delighted by it.
He opened the list of items that a ghost-grade disciple could get and excitedly thumbed through it. He had become a six-stars expert. He now needed to get his own Martial Soul. If his dark fire phoenix was his Martial Soul, he wouldnât have needed to use a sword to defeat Xu Sheng.
Jiang Chen could guess that his martial soul would be likely related to his Celestial Phoenixâs genuine bloodline. That was why he paid more attention to Martial Soul Stones and birdsâ blood essence.
The Great Solar Golden Roc!
Jiang Chen quickly found a descendant of the Divine Great Roc, which was quite suitable to him. It was rare that it still retained a pure bloodline. Fortunately, he still had hush money left. Otherwise, he have been short of Martial Soul stones.
After Jiang Chen went back to Qi Li Continent, he had boring exploration missions awaiting him. Since there was still some time before the Wizard Clanâs banquet, he had plenty of time to spend on his cultivation.
Unfortunately, his magical clone, Lu Ping, who was in Sky Reaching Cityâs Sword Pavilion, had run into an issue.
There was still some time until graduation day for the special-grade students. Lu Ping and Lin Shuangyue were as inseparable as a man and his shadow. They both wanted to create their Sword Domain, which was why many rumors began to spread about them.
Lin Shuangyue came to Lu Ping wearing a bashful expression and said, âLu Ping, my mother invited me to have a meal with her.â
âItâs no bother. I have to spend time comprehending some insights I just got.â Lu Ping didnât care about this.
âUmm, my mother also invited you,â Lin Shuangyue hesitantly said, still displaying a bashfulness that word surprise most people who knew her.
âIâm also invited?â Lu Ping was confused by this.
âMy mother must have heard those rumors and wants to verify it. It wonât matter even if you donât go.â Lin Shuangyue was quite embarrassed to ask this out of him.
âI will go.â Lu Ping stood up.
Since people had already misunderstood their relationship, if he didnât go, they would likely assume that it was true.
When Lin Shuangyue witnessed his reaction, her face became flushed once again. It was a pity that Lu Ping didnât have a keen observation power. He couldnât discern the difference between the current blush and the previous one.
Lu Ping arranged some things before following Lin Shuangyue out of the Sword Pavilion.
The Lin family was a heaven-grade great faction. All its descendants were sent to a spirit-grade academy because conflicts often broke out among it and other factions. It was only after its descendants grew could they assume any real responsibility.
âWhy do I feel like heaven-grade continents arenât dangerous?â Lu Ping asked.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
His main body was on the Red Blood Field, so he didnât run into any enemies where he was now.
Lin Shuangyue rolled her eyes at him. âHow can you think that it isnât dangerous? When Jiang Chen went into a heaven-grade continent, he killed four or five people in his own side in succession. It should surely be like hell for those people.â
It seemed like she was quite knowledgeable about Jiang Chenâs actions and movements
âI guess it is really dangerous,â Lu Ping said in an odd tone.
