Chapter 166

To this day, he has acted cool countless times!

Xu Que has become accustomed to this feeling of being surrounded by the aura of acting cool, deeply realizing the holy truth of the acting cool world: "If a person doesn't act cool, what's the difference between them and a salted fish?"

Therefore, Xu Que has always maintained a good state of either acting cool or being on the way to acting cool all year round.

It's just that he doesn't know how this damn system calculates Acting Cool Points, but the Acting Cool Points he gets each time are getting more and more.

Although he still can't figure out how the system calculates it, and the system can't tell him, Xu Que guesses that it is somewhat related to his own cultivation level and the number of people present, including their cultivation levels!

However, for a King of Acting Cool who can act cool anytime and anywhere, Xu Que didn't pay too much attention to these details. As long as he can act cool, as long as he acts cool well, and gets Acting Cool Points, that's enough!

This cultivation world will one day be acted cool through by him!

In the silence, Xu Que cast his gaze toward the Imperial Guards below the arena, and shouted at the Imperial Guards with great domineering spirit: "Come! I want to fight ten..."

"Ye... Young Hero Ye, this is a one-on-one duel."

The Imperial Guard, in addition to being shocked, was quite speechless. After coming to his senses, he could only smile bitterly, take out a talisman, slap it on Ye Zhangfeng, who had fallen to the ground and was seriously injured, and sent him out of the training grounds!

The dignified elite genius of the Langjian Sect, one of the three major sects of the Five Kingdoms, known as the Sword God's son, Ye Zhangfeng, was defeated so miserably!

He couldn't even pass the first round and was defeated so miserably!

Just because he ran into a person... the legendary local, Ye Liangchen.

This was beyond many people's expectations, and also beyond the expectations of the Chief Eunuch outside the Golden Bell Hall!

As the Fire Emperor's personal eunuch, this Chief Eunuch knew many secret details.

As far as he knew, the Fire Emperor's recruitment of a Prince Consort this time wasn't really random, but had pre-determined several talented geniuses as the best candidates!

For example, the top of the Four Talents of the Ming Sheng Academy, Zhao Hao!

For example, the Sword God's son of the Langjian Sect, Ye Zhangfeng!

These two were the candidates the Fire Emperor valued most, and Zhao Hao was even placed in the first position.

It's a pity that he was defeated by a talented scholar named Li Bai from the Exploding Heaven Gang the day before yesterday, and he carried a piece of calligraphy all over the Imperial City; even if he wasn't ruined, he had already lost the qualification to become the Prince Consort!

So the Fire Emperor put the first position on Ye Zhangfeng, but now, Ye Zhangfeng couldn't even pass the first round, and the person who caused this was also from the Exploding Heaven Gang!

This scared the old eunuch, and after seeing Ye Zhangfeng being sent out of the arena, he immediately turned around and ran back into the Golden Bell Hall.

This is a slap in the face!

And it's the face of His Majesty the Fire Emperor!

What is the background of this Exploding Heaven Gang?

The old eunuch was puzzled; how come he had never heard of such a wild, cool, and awesome gang before.

And at this moment in the Golden Bell Hall, a middle-aged man sat on the dragon throne, strong and sturdy, like a mythical beast of wealth sitting on the throne!

He wore a dragon robe embroidered with flames, his body was imposing, his chest was broad, and every gesture revealed a natural, world-shaking imperial domineering aura!

This is the Fire Emperor of the Fire Yuan Kingdom, Ji Mingwu!

Beside the Fire Emperor stood two women, who were Princess Yan Yang and Zi Xuan!

At this moment, both of them looked indifferent, but there was a trace of worry between their brows.

These past few days, they also knew about the deeds of Li Bai of the Exploding Heaven Gang, and deliberately found someone to fetch a "Painting of Li Bai Smoking," and as a result, they were stunned on the spot!

Who is that person on it? It's clearly Hua Wuque, no, to be precise, it should be Xu Que!

The Prince Consort from six years ago, Xu Que!

At that time, their minds went blank, and they blurted out three words in unison: He's here!

What should come will eventually come!

"Report!"

The old eunuch ran back to the Golden Bell Hall in a panic, knelt directly in front of the Fire Emperor, and said with a trembling voice: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the old slave just... just saw that Ye Zhangfeng of the Langjian Sect has been defeated!"

"What?"

Not only the Fire Emperor, but even Princess Yan Yang and Zi Xuan were moved!

They all knew Ye Changfeng's strength very well; his cultivation had already entered the Nascent Soul Stage, and he was gifted in sword Way, being one of the geniuses of the Langjian Sect for hundreds of years. How could he possibly lose?

"What happened?"

The Fire Emperor's expression sank, his eyes deep as a valley, and he asked coldly.

The old eunuch said with a trembling voice: "The old slave saw with his own eyes just now that Ye Changfeng was defeated by a freelance cultivator named Ye Liangchen, and it only took two moves!"

"Two moves? And defeated Ye Zhangfeng? This... what is the background of this Ye Liangchen?" The Fire Emperor was surprised, his brows furrowed, and his face, which was awe-inspiring without anger, made people fearful!

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Ye Liangchen claims to be... a local!" the old eunuch replied.

"A local? Does our capital have a genius named Ye Liangchen? How come I don't know?" the Fire Emperor frowned.

The old eunuch hurriedly prostrated himself and responded: "That Ye Liangchen also claims to be a member of the Exploding Heaven Gang, possesses a four-star divine sword, and his sword technique is also very transcendent. As far as the old slave can see, if true essence is not used, I'm afraid no one is his match."

"Exploding Heaven Gang, why is it the Exploding Heaven Gang again?"

When the Fire Emperor heard these three words, his face was instantly filled with doubt!

This wasn't the first time he had heard this gang name. Long before Li Bai, he had received news that a mysterious young hero had appeared at the Fragrant Sky Valley trial point some time ago, claiming to be Hua Wuque of the Exploding Heaven Gang, who, with a Core Formation Stage cultivation, had stepped onto the eighth floor of the Spirit Domain Tower, and later disappeared without a trace!

Therefore, the Fire Emperor had also secretly sent people to search for him, but had gained nothing.

Until the day before yesterday, a talented scholar named Li Bai of the Exploding Heaven Gang, with amazing talent, defeated two great talents of the Ming Sheng Academy one after another, and circulated ten eternal famous poems, as well as several eternal absolute couplets, making the Imperial City full of noise!

But what made him feel furious was that his sister, Lady Ya, carried the fate of the Fire Yuan Kingdom's fortune and misfortune, and was not allowed to have feelings for any man in this life.

But the night before, he summoned Lady Ya, only to find that his sister seemed to have feelings for that Li Bai, so the next day, he sent people to seal the villa at Daming Lake, placed Lady Ya under house arrest, and also secretly sent out Imperial Guards to investigate Li Bai's whereabouts.

The result was still nothing!

Never expected that today, at the recruitment conference, another Ye Liangchen of the Exploding Heaven Gang would pop out!

Exploding Heaven Gang, Exploding Heaven Gang, the Fire Emperor had already become annoyed with this gang name.

However, he was very interested in the talents in the Exploding Heaven Gang, his expression softened, and he began to ponder.

He didn't notice that Princess Yan Yang and Zi Xuan beside him had already changed their expressions!

Both of them widened their eyes, looked at each other, and almost tacitly reached a consensus that the so-called Ye Liangchen of the Exploding Heaven Gang must be Xu Que in disguise!

Besides him, who else could it be?

And he even claimed to be a local of the capital; indeed, Xu Que was originally from the capital.

Only he could possibly possess such strength!

"It seems that I have to meet that Ye Liangchen of the Exploding Heaven Gang in person!"

At this moment, the Fire Emperor suddenly stood up, with a faint smile on his face, and stepped toward the outside of the hall.
