Jiang Chen, who was at the center of attention, didnât ascend the stage. After he demonstrated that he could condense 3,000 wisps of Soldier Energy, he just stayed on the ground.
Even though everyone believed that he should go on stage, Jiang Chen didnât move an inch.
Hiss!
Countless soldiers hissed, but Jiang Chen didnât plan to go on the stage. Even if one was qualified to do so, one could choose not to participate. He had deceived everyone.
âThis is really boring,â said the disappointed Xu Sheng as he went back to his former place.
The officerâs selection had almost reached its end. After the Five Great Armiesâ commanders noticed that Qi Li Continentâs people didnât plan to go on the stage, they started giving consideration to themselves.
A youthful commander walked out among the Heavenly Fire Armyâs members and ascended the stage. He said, âI wonder who is willing to come over to witness me how I will become an officer.â
The Heavenly Fire Armyâs soldiers cheered for him. It was obvious that this youthful commander had great prestige.
He was also one of the people who fought to deal with Qi Li Continentâs members. According to what he said, it seemed like he only needed to win another match to finish 10 victories. There wasnât anyone willing to cause trouble for him.
No one expected Jiang Chen to quickly fly into the air and say, âI will help you.â
The crowd was startled. Disbelief appeared on their faces. It turned out that the reason Jiang Chen didnât ascend the stage was to deal with the Five Great Armies. He planned to pay them back in their own way.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jiang Chen didnât cower. He had a greater ambiance. It was obvious that he was aware of the Five Great Armiesâ revengeful measures, but he didnât care about the complaints of Qi Li Continentâs members. He wouldnât allow anyone to bully him.
âThis guy...â
Xu Sheng was the Heavenly Fire Armyâs officer. The person on the stage was his younger brother, Xu Huang. He assumed that the dayâs affair would come to an end. He didnât expect that Jiang Chen would daringly attack his own people. He was infuriated by the situation.
âYou are the famous and renowned Jiang Chen,â Xu Huang said with a grim laugh. âIâm looking forward to this because you will become a steppingstone I will trample upon before becoming an officer. Itâs good, very good.â
As for the soldiers of Qi Li Continentâs two armies, they all became nervous. They didnât expect Jiang Chen to intervene, but had inwardly hoped he would take revenge against them.
âWang Teng, who do you think will win among Jiang Chen and Xu Huang?â Liu Wentian asked.
Although Wang Teng was burned by Alien Flames, his life wasnât in danger because Empress Ling Long had intervened in time. He didnât give the matter any thought and firmly replied, âJiang Chen!â
Upon hearing this, Scarlet Jade Armyâs Su Yu couldnât help but nod.
âJust leave,â Jiang Chen softly said. He didnât have any interest in fighting this guy.
Xu Huang became angry and tried to belittle his opponent, saying, âStop acting complacently. Do you think that you can act as arrogantly as you want just because you have a divine body?â
He started quickly weaving hand signs without saying another word. The air started burning. Black smoke emanated from it.
âRaging Waves of Lava!â
Xu Huang rapidly finished building up power. Extremely unusual flames surged out. The flames were dense and seemed more like lava rather than flames. A sizzling sound echoed from the air as they flew through it.
The flames reached Jiang Chen in the blink of an eye and devoured him.
âYou will pay a grave price for looking down upon my flames,â Xu Huang said.
His eyes lit up upon seeing that Jiang Chen didnât bother trying to dodge them. Xu Huang hadnât finished using his Flame Seal and was still weaving hand signs.
Rumble!
The flames erupted and soared several hundred feet. A shocking heat wave emanated from them.
âWill he end up suffering any harm?â
âJiang Chen depended upon his divine body to act arrogantly.â
âXu Huangâs Primordial Earth Fire canât be considered an Alien Fire. After he used it along with his Doctrine Method, Xuan Ming Qi, and Xuan Ling Qi, its might became quite great. Even Xu Sheng commended it.â
âEven if his divine body doesnât die, he still will lose a layer of skin.â
While the crowd was discussing the matter, Xu Huang curled the corners of his mouth and revealed a complacent smile as he commented, âIs it limited to just this? This is really disappointing.â
Jiang Chenâs apathetic voice echoed among the flames. He suddenly flew out of the surroundings still engulfed by Xu Huangâs Primordial Earth Fire, but he was completely unharmed.
âWhy donât you try mine?â Jiang Chen asked as he attacked.
He didnât weave any complex hand signs. He just casually waved his hand. A phoenix cry echoed while vigorous Alien Flames surged out and formed a divine bird. It was a graceful bird with giant sharp-looking wings and a pretty tail.
âWhat is that?â
Everyone became restless and couldnât sit calmly.
âIs it, is it his Martial Soul? No, itâs impossible.â
âThis isnât a Martial Soul. Itâs a Celestial Phoenix. He has inherited the bloodline.â
âMoreover, since it can fuse with Alien Flames, his Phoenix Bloodline should be quite powerful.â
The divine bird streaked across the air. It didnât target Xu Huang. It just flew toward the rising sun. When the bird passed by Xu Huangâs side, the latterâs Protective Dipper Energy couldnât put up the least bit of resistance. He was burned by the flames and completely disappeared. He didnât leave even ashes behind. He was erased thoroughly from the world.
As most people expected, Xu Sheng flew into a rage. âI will kill you!â He soared into the sky like a golden flying wheel.
âAnyone who defies me shall be killed.â Jiang Chen didnât argue with him. He was resolved to kill Xu Sheng.
âAflame Wind!â
Jiang Chen once again felt that his Celestial Phoenixâs genuine blood became scalding. The Sky-burning Evil Flame turned into a divine bird. Unlike before, it possessed wind power. As the divine bird collided against the golden wheel, a radiant light emanated from them, illuminating thousands of miles. In the end, the shock waves formed a hurricane, which wreaked havoc in Scarlet Sky City.
Neither Jiang Chen or Xu Sheng managed to get the upper hand. They were about to exchange another blow when someone shouted, âStop!â
The seven emperors wouldnât allow them to cause a scene. They all intervened and flew into the air. Their positions were meaningful because Emperor Zhan Wu stood next to Xu Sheng while Empress Ling Long was in front of Jiang Chen. As for the other five emperors, they stood in the middle between them.
âJiang Chen, you have gone overboard,â Emperor Zhan Wu said. âEven though the officerâs selection doesnât forbid murder, it also doesnât enforce murder to put an end to the fight. Even though people fought for long until now, you are still the first person to commit a murder.â
âThat was just a casual attack,â Jiang Chen said. His implication was that he didnât intend to kill anyone. Xu Huang was simply too weak.
âYou were obviously able to use a weaker attack,â Xu Sheng angrily said.
âWhat? Officer Xu Sheng, do you want to set other rules and restrictions?â Jiang Chen asked.
When Xu Sheng faced Liu Wentianâs questions, he had said the same words. It was only now that he understood Liu Wentianâs anger.
âAh!â
Tang Shiyaâs affair had just happened. Xu Sheng couldnât bear it any longer. He broke free of Emperor Zhan Wuâs hold and continued attacking.
Empress Ling Long wouldnât give him a chance. âGo back!â Her gaze became ice cold.
Xu Sheng felt a chill run down his spine and quickly calmed down.
âJiang Chen didnât violate any rules,â Empress Ling Long said.
âFine!â Emperor Zhan Wu gritted his teeth. He shouted to the people below, âFrom now on, no one is allowed to fight Jiang Chen.â
The people oblivious to the current situation were baffled, but they quickly realized what he meant and wanted to achieve.
âYou need to win 10 battles in succession to become an officer,â Emperor Zhan Wu said. âIf no one is willing to fight with you, you will have to challenge an officer.â
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen looked at Xu Sheng, who looked back at him. Their gazes met in mid-air.
âI donât have any problem with that,â Jiang Chen said.
âOK!â Xu Sheng also wished to quickly fight him because he wanted to take revenge for his younger brother.
