Translator: Translation NationEditor: Translation Nation

Up until today, Xu Que had acted tough numerous of times.

He had long gotten used to the feeling of being stared at with awestruck glances and feeling extremely tough. At this point, he truly agreed with the wise words, ”If one doesn’t act tough, how is he different from a mere calf?”

Hence, Xu Que often told himself that he wasn’t just acting tough. He was cultivating a good habit of acting tough, taking a positive attitude and outlook on his career.

However, there was only one issue. This dog of a system remained so discreet about the way it awarded act tough points. For some reason, the act tough points he’d been receiving had been increasing each time.

Although he was unsure of how the system calculated points, since the system refused to tell him, he guessed that it had something to do with his cultivation levels and the number of people around.

However, to the Act Tough King who could act tough whenever and wherever he wanted, Xu Que didn’t pay much attention to it. As long as he could act tough, act tough well, and receive act tough points, he was satisfied.

Soon, he would be able to act tough before the entire cultivation realm.

Everything around was silent as Xu Que casted his glance down at the Imperial Guard. He then exclaimed out, sounding extremely tough, ”I wish to fight ten men!”

”Master… Master Ye, this is a one on one challenge.”

The Imperial Guard was almost trembling in fear and was rendered speechless as he fell into a daze. When he finally regained his senses, he forced a laugh as he took out his amulet and activated it. At once,Ye Chang Feng who was sprawled on the ground and unable to move was transported out of the training grounds.

One of the three great sects from within the five nations, Jade Sword Sect, had its most renowned and skilled disciple Ye Chang Feng defeated in such a humiliating way.

He didn’t even manage to pass the first stage and was defeated so cruelly.

This was because he met the fabled cultivator who claimed to be a local, Ye Liang Chen.

This result was evidently not what everyone had expected. In fact, even the eunuch was taken aback by the surprising outcome of the battle.

As the eunuch of the Fire Nation, he knew and understood most of what was happening within the nation.

Choosing the Prince Consort of the Fire Nation wasn’t a random affair. In fact, it was thought out for a long time and everyone, including the eunuch had a good idea of which men would rise through all the challenges. Thus, he had narrowed down the candidates to a couple of likely winners.

For example, the leader of Bright Saints College, Zhao Wu!

Another example was the Legendary Swordsman of Jade Sword Sect, Ye Chang Feng!

These two men were the most likely candidates and had also earned the respect and favor of the Fire Emperor before this contest. In fact, Zhao Wu was supposed to be the favorite to win this.

It was a pity that Li Bai of the Heavenly Explosion Faction had defeated him several days ago. As a result, he was supposed to carry a sign and walk around the entire Imperial City in humiliation. His reputation had been tarnished and thus, he had lost the rights to become the Prince Consort.

Hence, the next option would be Ye Chang Feng. However, Ye Chang Feng didn’t even manage to pass the first round of the contest. Once again, he was defeated by a member of the Heavenly Explosion Faction.

This scared the eunuch half out of his wits. After seeing Ye Chang Feng being sent out of the training grounds, he turned around hurriedly and ran to the throne room.

This was a huge slap to the face!

In fact, it was a slap to the face of the Fire Emperor, his majesty!

Where did this Heavenly Explosion Faction came from?

The old eunuch was rather curious as to how he’d never heard of them before. Besides, it was such a talented and outstanding cool sect.

At this point, within the throne room, a middle aged man sat on his dragon throne, looking austere and majestic.

He was dressed in immaculate robes with fire dragons embroidered across the entire robe. His shoulders were broad and his chest was muscular. Every gesture of his was exemplary as a royalty of the highest standings. An aura of fearsomeness emanated from him as though he alone owned and controlled everything beneath the heavens.

This was the Emperor of the Fire Nation, Ji Ming Wu.

Beside the Fire Emperor were two ladies. They were the Flaming Sun Princess and Zi Xuan.

Both of them had expressionless looks across their faces as though they were trying to hide their anxiousness and worry.
