To this day, he had acted tough countless times!
Xu Que was already used to the feeling of being surrounded by the aura of being pretentious. He had a deep understanding of the saying of the pretentious world, "If a person doesn't act pretentious, what difference is there between him and a salted fish?"
Hence, Xu Que was always in a good state of mind when he wasn't acting tough or rushing to act tough.
However, he didn't know how the system calculated his acting tough points. Every time he did, the amount of acting tough points he earned was increasing.
Although he wasn't sure how the system calculated his points and the system couldn't tell him, Xu Que guessed that it was related to his cultivation level and the number of people present.
However, as the Act Tough King who could act tough anytime, anywhere, Xu Que didn't care too much about these details. As long as he could act tough and act tough well, he could earn acting tough points. That was all that mattered to him!
One day, he would be able to act tough in the entire Cultivation World!
Amidst the silence, Xu Que looked at the Imperial Guards below the stage and shouted out to them in a domineering manner, "Come on! I want to fight ten of you … "
"Master … Master Ye, this is a one-on-one duel."
The Imperial Guard was shocked and speechless. When he regained his senses, he could only smile bitterly as he took out a talisman and placed it on the heavily injured Ye Chang Feng, sending him out of the training grounds!
The Legendary Swordsman, Ye Chang Feng, the elite of the Jade Sword Sect and one of the three major sects of the five nations, had been defeated just like that!
He couldn't even pass the first round and was defeated so miserably!
This was because he had met someone … the legendary local, Ye Liang Chen.
This was out of everyone's expectations. It was also out of the expectations of the eunuch outside the Throne Room!
As the personal eunuch of the Fire Emperor, this eunuch knew a lot of secrets.
As far as he knew, the Fire Emperor's Prince Consort selection wasn't done randomly. He had already decided on a few outstanding candidates in advance!
For example, the leader of the four great students from Bright Saints College, Zhao Hao!
For example, the Legendary Swordsman from Jade Sword Sect, Ye Chang Feng!
These two were the candidates that the Fire Emperor valued the most. Moreover, Zhao Hao was placed first.
It was a pity that he had been defeated by a genius from the Exploding Heavens Faction named Li Bai. He had been walking around the Imperial City with a piece of calligraphy. Even if his reputation was not ruined, he had already lost the right to become the Emperor's son-in-law.
That was why the Fire Emperor had placed Ye Chang Feng first. But now, Ye Chang Feng couldn't even pass the first round. And the reason for this was because of the Exploding Heavens Faction!
This scared the old eunuch out of his wits. When he saw Ye Chang Feng being escorted out of the arena, he immediately turned around and ran back into the throne room.
This was a slap in the face!
Moreover, it was the face of the Fire Emperor!
What is the background of this Exploding Heavens Faction?
The old eunuch found it strange. How come he had never heard of such a cool and awesome gang before?
At this time, in the throne room, a middle-aged man was sitting on the Dragon Throne. His bones were strong and his muscles were strong.
He was wearing a dragon robe embroidered with flames. His body was cold and his chest was wide. Every movement he made exuded the domineering aura of an emperor!
This was the Fire Emperor of the Fire Empire, Ji Ming Wu!
Beside the Fire Emperor stood two ladies. They were the Flaming Sun Princess and Zi Xuan!
At this time, both of them looked calm, but there was a hint of worry between their brows.
These few days, they had heard about the deeds of Li Bai from the Exploding Heavens Faction. They had deliberately asked someone to find a picture of Li Bai smoking. When they saw it, they were stunned!
The person in the picture was not Li Bai! It was obviously Hua Wu Que. No, to be precise, it should be Xu Que!
The Emperor's son-in-law from six years ago, Xu Que!
At that time, both of their minds went blank. Three words popped out at the same time: He is here!
What will come will come!
...
"Report!"
The old eunuch ran back to the throne room in a panic and knelt down in front of the Fire Emperor. He spoke in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, this old servant just … just saw Ye Chang Feng from the Jade Sword Sect being defeated!"
"What?"
Not only the Fire Emperor, but even the Flaming Sun Princess and Zi Xuan were shocked!
They were well aware of Ye Chang Feng's strength. He had already reached the Original Infant Stage and was extremely talented in swordsmanship. He was one of the most talented cultivators in Jade Sword Sect. How could he be defeated?
"What happened?"
The Fire Emperor's face darkened. His eyes were as deep as a valley as he asked coldly.
The old eunuch said in a trembling voice, "I saw with my own eyes that Ye Chang Feng was defeated by a cultivator named Ye Liang Chen. He only used two moves!"
"Two moves? He defeated Ye Chang Feng? What … what is the background of this Ye Liang Chen? "The Fire Emperor was shocked. He frowned and his face was full of awe!
"Your Highness, Ye Liang Chen claimed to be … a local!" The old eunuch replied.
"A local? We have a cultivator named Ye Liang Chen in the capital city? How could I not know? "The Fire Emperor frowned.
The old eunuch bowed and replied, "Ye Liang Chen claimed to be from the Heavenly Explosion Faction. He owns a Four-Star Legendary Sword and his swordsmanship is extraordinary. From what I can see, if he doesn't use his core strength, I'm afraid no one can defeat him."
"Heavenly Explosion Faction? Why is he from the Heavenly Explosion Faction again?"
The Fire Emperor was puzzled when he heard the name of the Heavenly Explosion Faction.
This was not the first time he had heard of the name of the Heavenly Explosion Faction. Before Li Bai, he had already received the news that a mysterious young man had appeared at the Sky Incense Valley. He claimed to be Hua Wu Que from the Heavenly Explosion Faction. He had reached the eighth level of the Tower of Souls with a cultivation of the Golden Core Stage and then disappeared without a trace!
Therefore, the Fire Emperor had been sending people to look for him secretly, but to no avail.
Until the day before yesterday, a talented young man who claimed to be Li Bai from the Heavenly Explosion Faction defeated two talented young men from the Bright Saints College consecutively with his amazing talent. He also wrote ten famous poems and several Immortal Absolutes, which made the entire Imperial City bustling!
However, what made him furious was that his sister, Lady Ya, was bound by the fate of the Fire Empire. She was not allowed to have a relationship with any man for the rest of her life.
The night before yesterday, when he summoned Lady Ya, he found out that his sister had fallen in love with Li Bai. Therefore, the next day, he sent people to seal off the mansion by the Daming Lake and put Lady Ya under house arrest. At the same time, he also sent some Imperial Guards to investigate the whereabouts of Li Bai secretly.
However, to no avail!
He never expected that Ye Liang Chen from the Heavenly Explosion Faction would appear at the matchmaking convention!
The Heavenly Explosion Faction, the Heavenly Explosion Faction … The Fire Emperor was sick of this faction.
However, the Fire Emperor was very interested in the talents of the Heavenly Explosion Faction. His expression softened and he started to ponder.
He didn't notice that the Flaming Sun Princess and Zi Xuan, who were standing beside him, were shocked!
Both of them opened their eyes wide and looked at each other. They seemed to have reached a consensus. The so-called Ye Liang Chen from the Heavenly Explosion Faction must be Xu Que in disguise!
Other than him, who else could it be?
He even claimed to be a local of the capital. Indeed, he, Xu Que, was from the capital.
He was the only one who could have such strength!
"It seems like I have to meet Ye Liang Chen from the Heavenly Explosion Faction personally!"
