Supreme Conceited Emperor

In everyone's eyes, the originally milky-white water in the pool slowly turned pale at this moment. Soon after, it became as clear as a spring.    

"This elemental energy has been used up!"    

This scene caused everyone to reveal a puzzled expression.    

"That's impossible, even last time when Wu Gang broke through the ninth stage of the Academy Officer, he did not exhaust all the elemental energy in the pool, but this time …"    

"Weird, too weird!"    

Not only was it the crowd, but even the emissary who had been quietly watching from a distance was puzzled.    

"Don't tell me it's a Saint Body? But even if it's a Saint Body, it can't consume light elemental energy!"    

As for Su Jue who was in the pool, his eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment.    

The elemental energy in the pool had indeed been depleted and his cultivation had stopped at the peak of the eighth level!    

The reason for all this was his divine body.    

Breaking through to the eighth layer of the Divine Body consumed several times more elemental energy than a normal physique. Therefore, even the eighth layer would consume even more elemental energy than the others to break through to the ninth layer.    

Of course, just relying on him alone wasn't enough to consume all the elemental energy in the pond. However, with the addition of the other 29 people, the final result was obvious.    

"Alright, everyone leave the Essence Integration Pool!" The Imperial Envoy's face still carried suspicions, but he was destined not to ask Su Jue about his identity.    

Everyone left the pool and returned to the Bluestone Plaza.    

Alright, the rest will be left to the Academy Officer s. The Imperial Emissary left after saying this.    

Aside from Su Jue, the rest of the group of thirty were all trembling in fear as they looked at the three silver-armored Academy Officer s and the neat group of people behind them.    

Amongst the three of them, Su Jue recognized two of them.    

These two were Tang Xingyue and Wu Gang!    

"You thirty people listen up, now standing in front of you is Knifeblade Legion's sixth group: Academy Officer's Zhang Kuang, fifth group: Academy Officer's Tang Xingyue and I's fourth group: Academy Officer's Wu Gang!"    

Wu Gang coldly looked at everyone and said.    

Everyone was forced back a few steps by Wu Gang's aura.    

"Humph, a bunch of trash. They can't even take this much momentum!" Wu Gang said in disdain, but after a while, he realized that there was still one more person standing there.    

This man was Su Jue!    

Wu Gang's expression congealed, a hint of sternness flashed past his eyes, and then he sneered: "Su Jue, from now on, you are a member of my fourth group, you have to listen to everything I say!"    

When these words came out, everyone revealed a look of schadenfreude.    

"Wait a minute!"    

Just then, Tang Xingyue stepped forward again.    

"Academy Officer Tang, do you have any objections?" Wu Gang said unhappily.    

"That's right, Su Jue was recommended by my Tang Clan, so he is naturally my subordinate!"    

As he said this, a cunning look flashed past Tang Xingyue's eyes, and from the corner of her eyes, she swept a glance at Su Jue with a sinister smile.    

Su Jue secretly laughed.    

Both of them wanted him to join their team. One wanted to kill him, while the other wanted to torture him.    

However, Su Jue wanted to join Wu Gang's team the most.    

Knowing that there was a tiger on the mountain, he preferred to travel on the mountain.    

This was Su Jue's personality!    

"Hmph, Academy Officer Tang, I am ranked above you in the fourth group of Academy Officer. According to the rules, I should be the first one to choose my opponent, understand?" Wu Gang said with a stern expression.    

"I lost to you in the last Ranking Tournament, but that does not mean that it will be the same the next time. Tang Xingyue said coldly.    

Wu Gang's face gradually became gloomy, the two of them gazed at each other as strong wind rose from their surroundings.    

"Yue'er, why did you want Su Jue to join your team? Give me a reason!"    

At this moment, a young man with sharp eyebrows and a hawk's gaze slowly walked over from the distance. At the same time, a strong military might could be felt!    

"It's Vice Commander Dao Kuang!"    

Everyone was shocked when they saw who it was. The next moment, they all cupped their hands and bowed.    

"We pay our respects to the Vice Commander!"    

The person who was called Dao Kuang didn't even glance at the three large teams behind him. Instead, he looked at Tang Xingyue and said, "Yue'er, you still haven't answered my question."    

Tang Xingyue's expression was somewhat unhappy, and said: "This is the Divine General's Estate, I ask that Vice Commander not to call me Yue'er!"    

"Okay, Academy Officer Tang, tell me, why?"    

"This is just what father means. After all, he is the son of a former friend of father. Father wishes for me to properly train him and strive to become a captain so as to not let down the friendship between father and his father!" Tang Xingyue said coldly.    

"Oh?"    

Dao Kuang turned to look at Su Jue with his hands behind his back: "Since it's my foster father's wish, then let's stay in the fifth group from now on. After the end of the war, I'll make a decision and give myself a break in Divine General's Estate, so that I can return and bring glory to my ancestors."    

With this said, everyone was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.    

"After all this time, he was just a relative who came to work for a position. No wonder he had to be a subordinate of Academy Officer Tang."    

"That's right, with Academy Officer Tang's protection, I can finally rest easy!"    

Facing the crowd's mockery, Su Jue's expression did not change.    

He was very clear that the reason Tang Xingyue said that was because she was looking for an excuse to keep him in his party was just to take revenge on him.    

But he did not understand why Dao Kuang would mock him.    

Dao Kuang, one of the four great men of the imperial city, deputy commander of the Knifeblade Legion, her strength has already reached the Star Condensation Realm!    

This was the information he got from Xue Mei!    

"However, you must remember, do not think about things that you should not think about. Some people are not something that a small character like you can meddle in." Closing his mouth, Dao Kuang smiled and looked at Tang Xingyue, then took a big step forward and left.    

Su Jue finally understood.    

The reason why Dao Kuang had belittled him and threatened him was because of Tang Xingyue.    

Dao Kuang, likes Tang Xingyue!    

Furthermore, this Dao Kuang must have known about what happened in the Star Gazing Tower back then, which was why he felt that he was interested in this Tang Xingyue!    

"Su Jue, your luck is very good. However, you won't be happy for long."    

After Dao Kuang left, Wu Gang released a few harsh words, and then went around to Su Jue's back and started choosing people.    

Obviously, this Wu Gang was being arrogant, and did not dare to disobey Dao Kuang's words.    

A quarter of an hour later, the three Academy Officer s had chosen their targets, and then they heard Tang Xingyue say: "Today will be the last day, tomorrow when the time for ascension comes, gather here!"    

With that said, Tang Xingyue glanced at Su Jue provocatively before walking out of Divine General's Estate.    

After the three Academy Officer s left, the three large groups of three hundred people all dispersed and began to chat in groups of three or five.    

"Su Jue!"    

Just as Su Jue was about to leave, a familiar voice sounded.    

Turning his head to look, Su Jue was instantly stunned. The people who called out to him were actually Shentu Jun and Shentu Zhan!    

"You two!"    

, his friend from his hometown, could not help but laugh out loud.    

"There's no justice here, let's go over there." Shentu Jun came to Su Jue's side and whispered.    

The three of them walked side by side for a short while before arriving at a large tree.    

"Su Jue, I saw you a long time ago, it's just that it's not easy to recognize you with your numbers." Shentu Jun laughed.    

Su Jue nodded his head, and laughed: "When did you become so cautious?"    

Shentu Jun shook his head and sighed: "This place is much more dangerous than the Sword Lake Palace ah, it seems calm on the surface but in reality, it's filled with killing intent."    

"Every step was filled with killing intent? You mean it has something to do with the battle for command? " Su Jue asked.    

"That's right." Shentu Zhan took out a bottle of wine and handed it over to Su Jue, then said, "Furthermore, this matter concerns the entire capital's situation, so you should know the two marshals of Divine General's Estate, right?"    

Su Jue nodded his head: "Right general Tang Qinghe, left general Dong Tianlong!"    

"Yes, these two were once the right and left hands of the Divine General's Estate who helped Yue Feiyun before, and now, they are indeed opposing each other with equal harshness. They have been exchanging blows for many years already." Shentu Zhan drank a mouthful of wine and said.    

"This Knifeblade Legion is the newly established army of the imperial city. They are the elites of the elites. It can be said that both sides are determined to get their hands on them." Shentu Jun said.    

Su Jue laughed. Before he came here, he had already made some guesses.    

Tang Qinghe obviously did not side with the Ye Family, which was why he was in opposition to Dong Tianlong.    

And judging from Dao Kuang's attitude towards Tang Xingyue today, Dao Kuang was the person that Tang Qinghe had chosen to compete with Dong Tianlong, the son of Dong Tianlong, for the position of commander in chief of the Knifeblade Legion.    

"The four heroes of the capital, the young master of the Tang family, Tang Zhitian of the Dong family, the adopted son of the Tang family, Dao Kuang of the Dong family, and the Ye family, Ye Beifeng of the Ye family. These four were originally the strongest among the four of them.    

"A lot of people say that it was the Dong Clan's doing this in secret. Think about it, the competition has already reached the stage of ambushing the heir of the opposing clan. Isn't this place dangerous?"    

The two brothers each told Su Jue the situation of the entire Divine General's Estate in one sentence.    

"In other words, of the six big teams in Knifeblade Legion, four of the captains are already filial towards Dong Tianlong, and only two of them are still Dao Kuang's?"    

After half an incense of time, Su Jue asked.    

"Yes, other than Tang Xingyue, Tang Academy Officer, there is still the third group, Gao Tianming!" Shentu Zhan said.    

Su Jue nodded, then asked: "Which team are the two of you in?"    

"We're all in the sixth group, Zhang Kuang's team. This Zhang Kuang is Dong Jianfeng's most loyal henchman!" Shentu Jun said with disdain.    

Su Jue could not help but laugh. Shentu Jun was a person with an extremely high determination, he would definitely not hide under someone else's roof.    

"Su Jue, I know you, you are definitely not some relative, you must be here to become a Academy Officer, right?" Shentu Zhan asked.    

"Academy Officer!" Su Jue laughed involuntarily, neither nodding nor shaking his head.    

"I knew it, but becoming a Academy Officer is not that simple. It requires a lot of challenges!" Shentu Zhan laughed.    

"How are we going to challenge them layer by layer?" Su Jue asked.    

Shentu Jun nodded his head, and said: "Below the Vice Commander, there are six Academy Officer, and each Academy Officer is in charge of a hundred man army, and among these hundred man army, ten people are in a squad, and the fifty people are in a squad."    

"This way, we will have ten Company Leaders, two Company Leaders and one Academy Officer. The challenge will naturally start with the Company Leader!" After Shentu Zhan finished speaking, a trace of pride appeared on his face, and he said: "My brother is currently the Company Leader of the Sixth Group, and is leading a team of 50 people!"    

"Is that so?" Su Jue's eyes flashed with praise.    

The last time he saw Shentu Jun with such peak Earth Fiend Realm, he was actually already the Company Leader.
