A beauty always had enviable advantages that others couldnât get. She had just lost a battle, yet someone had traveled ten thousand miles in order to support and defend her.
âI heard that Feng Shaoyu is already the Divine War Clanâs commander.â
âThe competition is so intense, yet he has still come here for Yao Yue. She really has resounding fame.â
The Wind Departmentâs members spread the news, and the other disciples also looked forward to the next confrontation of the Thunder and Wind Departments.
However, it was unfortunate that when the disciples started looking for Jiang Chen, they discovered that he had already gone to the Red Blood Field. If Jiang Chen hadnât left before Feng Shaoyuâs arrival, people would have assumed that he was scared off by the latter.
Feng Shaoyu didnât give up, and he stated that he would teach Jiang Chen a lesson in the trial by fire. He took Yao Yue with him and proceeded toward the Divine War Clan. Feng Shaoyu had already become a commander, and he could arrange an official position for Yao Yue an official position there.
The female disciples envied her greatly, while the male disciples hoped to achieve great things like Feng Shaoyu had done so they too could become famous.
Jiang Chen didnât care about such a little incident, and he had already reached the Red Blood Field. He discovered then that everyone depended upon Teleportation Formations to travel between heaven-grade continents because it wasnât practical to fly over such a vast territory.
Jiang Chen wasnât the only one to have come here. There were many Sword God Palaceâs disciples who had also made the journey.
The Red Blood Field was really in urgent need of people as had been stated in the missionâs description. However, the Red Blood Field preferred to get nothing rather than have incompetent people, and they must go through many tests to get their approval.
Before coming here, Jiang Chen had made inquiries about the Red Blood Field in order to improve his understanding of it. He had needed to do so because Lin Yu wouldnât come with him.
The Red Blood Field managed seven continents with a vast territory and plentiful resources. Every continent was in the control of an Emperor. A Field Master was above the seven Emperors, but no one would dare to dream about becoming such a great and influential person.
The Red Blood Field had just selected a person for a certain position, and it was an army captain. There was also another position as a miner which no one seemed to want. If one was willing to take the minerâs position, he could go directly to the mine and would still manage to gain merits by working there. However, it was obvious that the Abundance Land Academyâs disciples wouldnât be willing to accept such a lowly job.
âThere are twenty captain positions vacant, and the most able will get them. Anyone who is interested in them should gather in the central plaza.â.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jiang Chen was now in the Red Blood Fieldâs main city, and it was situated in the Scarlet Heavenly Continent. He followed the crowd into the plaza, and after he counted the people cursorily, he realized that more than a hundred disciples were here. Most of them were tiger-grade disciples.
âOne, two... Five, six! There are six wolf-grade disciples.â
âWhy are you counting them?â
âThere are twenty captain positions. So, who will go compete against wolf-grade disciples? Only fourteen opportunities are left for us.â
âThatâs reasonable.â
The crowdâs discussion rang near Jiang Chenâs ears.
âThe Red Blood Field has five armies, and they are the wind, fire, mountain, lightning, and water armies. We donât need the people at the highest Realm Level, but just the most suitable among them.â A fully armed general was standing in the middle of the plaza. He announced the rules.
Upon hearing him, it could be seen that the expressions of the six wolf-grade disciples changed drastically. Up until now, they had been assured of their victory, but now they all started sizing each other up and mulling this matter over.
After a short while, four people heaved a sigh of relief because they possessed an absolute advantage in the army suitable to their elements. The remaining two had the same element and would obviously have to fight each other.
It was still fortunate that they would pick twenty captains for the five armies, and they would at least take two people for every army.
âJiang Chen!â While Jiang Chen was calmly waiting among the crowd, a fair jade-like hand patted his shoulder. He raised his eyebrows and turned around in surprise, seeing the person he had imagined when he had heard such a voice.
âItâs really coincidental!â Jiang Chen looked at Tian Ling, which was in front of him.
They hadnât previously spoken about when should they meet again, and he didnât expect to meet her once again.
âWhy are you here?â
Since Jiang Chen had become so powerful, he no longer thought of Tian Ling as a woman of outstanding genius. However, he had now discovered another pleasing side to her.
Tian Ling assumed that Jiang Chen had come here for her, but as she gave it a thought, she realized that she hadnât informed him which faction she belonged to. It must just be a coincidence, but despite this she was still happy to get to interact with him again.
Jiang Chen quickly learned that Tian Ling wasnât here as an academyâs disciple, and he also learned that the person who helped her establish the Civil and Martial Arts Institute in the Three Middle Realms was one of the Red Blood Fieldâs seven Emperors.
âWhich army do you plan to join?â Tian Ling started chatting with him.
âIâm still considering it.â
âWhy donât you tell me what you want and let me help you analyze it.â
Ordinary people would choose the field they were best at, but Tian Ling was aware that Jiang Chen was a genius who was strong in many fields.
âFire, wind, and lightning,â Jiang Chen said.
âWell? Join then the Heavenly Fire Army,â Tian Ling proposed. She didnât need to inform him of the reason behind this because Jiang Chen was aware that she wouldnât harm him.
As Jiang Chen pondered this, he couldnât help but recall his past days in the Flying Dragon Dynastyâs army.
âIt will start now, and we will start with the Heavenly Fire Army.â
The general on the center of the plaza moved back, and another person took his place. He was also a fully-equipped army officer, but he was younger. His black armor shone with a splendid metallic glint and seemed to brim with power, making him seem lofty and heroic.
This man was younger than the other generals, and he was quite handsome. When he appeared here, the people of the entire city grew excited.
âHeâs our legendary general, Xu Sheng. He has performed outstanding military service, and heâs still an academy dragon-grade disciple,â Tian Ling said in a low voice.
âHuh?â
Over the past few days, Jiang Chen had come to understand these matters, and he knew that it wasnât easy for one to become a great factionâs general.
In the Red Blood Field, the rank below the seven Emperors was the City Lords, and then came the generals, commanders, captains, and ordinary workers. Disciples like them would need to rack their brains and make great efforts to become captains, while that guy was already a general. If one compared himself to others, he would only end up angry and frustrated.
Just after this, the disciples who wanted to join the Heavenly Fire Army went toward Xu Sheng and stood in front of him. They included Jiang Chen.
There were more than twenty disciples here, and Xu Sheng swept all of them with his gaze before he stopped on Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen ended up becoming the center of attention.
After a moment, Xu Sheng spoke. âYou still arenât graded, are you?â This meant that Jiang Chen couldnât be considered even a wolf-grade disciple.
âThatâs right,â Jiang Chen replied truthfully.
The people standing next to them laughed out loud.
âWhatâs your name?â Xu Sheng asked.
It was at this moment that Jiang Chen realized that something was amiss. It seemed like this guy wasnât paying attention to him just because he wasnât graded, and Jiang Chen realized he was examining him with a vicious gaze.
âJiang Chen!â When Jiang Chen stated such a name, the people in the vicinity stopped laughing, and their gazes became filled with surprise.
âJiang Chen, who will fight against the Wizard Clanâs dual-pupils wielder?â
Jiang Chen had performed many renowned deeds, but the most famous one was still his conflict with the Wizard Clan.
The dual-pupils wielder! This was someone who fought alone against several of the Human Clanâs Junior Heavenly Kings and defeated them.
Even though a divine body who broke through the curse was already outstanding, he would still need to spend a long time to mature completely.
âLetâs start!â Xu Shengâs eyes flickered, and he raised a scalding flame with his right hand. âAnyone who can bear the Myriads Transformations Golden Flame for more than ten seconds will be eligible.â
The Myriads Transformations Golden flame was an Alien Flame. Xu Sheng was still controlling the flameâs main source, and it wasnât just a part of it he had gotten from someone else.
Xu Sheng didnât leave people enough time to respond, and they were all immediately engulfed by the Myriads Transformations Golden Fame. Everyone held their breath and watched. Even though ten seconds was not much time, it was a long period for the people among the flames.
