The effect of the essence blood of the Fire Spiritual Sparrow was beyond Jiang Chen’s expectations. He was extremely excited once the genuine blood of the celestial phoenix was stimulated again.

An idea suddenly occurred to Jiang Chen. He took out the spiritual stone. A spiritual stone could be sold at a sky-high price, but Jiang Chen did not need it.

“A spiritual stone is even better than an immortal elixir. Let me see what it can be used for!”

Despite the heat, Jiang Chen started to smelt the spiritual stone. With the genuine blood of the celestial phoenix and the spiritual stone working in parallel, only a divine body could handle it. The benefit it would bring was an incredible improvement. The genuine blood of the celestial phoenix was boiling in his blood vessels. The whole barracks could hear the phoenix chime.

He started to burn. The tent was totally burned up. The soldiers of the Tiger Battalion stayed away from the fire. Those who were good at the lore of water were ready to do something to prevent the fire from spreading.

“The key to improve the divine body is dragon and phoenix!” Jiang Chen recalled what Yue’er had told him, and he found she was totally correct. The improvement of the genuine blood of the celestial phoenix brought changes to the divine body. The lore of fire achieved the eighth level again when he had not even practiced it. He would achieve great completeness soon.

At the same time, he was about to master the third chapter of the Fire G.o.d Scripture as well.

…..

Unfortunately, when he was just about to realize the breakthrough, the effect of the five drops of essence blood was gone.

Jiang Chen screamed in disappointment. The feats he had achieved through one day’s work were spent in only a few minutes. If the other disciples of the Land of Abundance learned his thoughts, they would probably give him a beating.

A long time was usually needed to have 3,000 feats.

Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes. He saw the soldiers in the barracks were staring at him.

“Aren’t I in my tent?” Jiang Chen was a bit confused. Then he found his tent had been burned up.

He smiled at the soldiers in an embarra.s.sed manner. Fortunately, he was wearing the black clothes of the Flame Emperor. Otherwise they would have seen him naked.

The next day, Jiang Chen took over the Ferocious Tiger Battalion. He had a meeting with his five captains. Except for Zhang Han, the other four captains were looking at Jiang Chen in an odd manner. They were convinced by his strength. But at the thought of Jiang Chen’s crazy behavior and the unhappy looks of the soldiers of the Crane Battalion, they could not help but doubt whether Jiang Chen would be a good leader.

…..

“There will be a drill in the Red Blood Field soon! We’ll hear the sarcastic comments of those arrogant guys from the Ling Long Army again. Bros, will you allow them to do that?! “Ren Hai was giving an imposing pep talk to the Crane Battalion.

“No, we won’t!”

The soldiers of the Divine Crane Battalion shouted in sync, as if they had discussed how to reply to him.

“But someone killed two commanders in a row. He brought troubles to the whole Xuanji Army. It’s a shame to be so selfis.h.!.+” Ren Hai looked over while speaking.

“I, Jiang Xin, will try my best to gather Soldier Energy to defend the dignity of the Xuanji Army!” There was a short-haired woman standing next to Ren Hai. She looked pretty valiant and heroic.

What she said was directed at Jiang Chen.

….

“Commander, they are trying to make you look guilty.”

Zhang Han was taken aback. He hurried to say, “The Ling Long Army stands in the limelight in every year’s drill. The function of the Xuanji Army is only to set them off. Now they are going to try to make you take responsibility for it.”

“How many days to go to the drill?” Jiang Chen asked.

“12 days,” Zhang Han said.

“How much Soldier Energy could Xiong Gang gather?” Jiang Chen asked again.

“1,300.”

Zhang Han knew why he was asking this. He said in a low voice, “It’s very difficult to gather Soldier Energy. It has nothing to do with talent.” He added, as if he was afraid Jiang Chen had not understood him, “It took Xiong Gang more than six months to gather 1,300.” It took Xiong Gang more than six months, while they only had 12 days left.

“Don’t worry about me.” Jiang Chen thanked him, patting him on the shoulder. He had learned what the difficulty would be while studying the method to gather Soldier Energy. That was why he was so confident. Then Jiang Chen walked toward the Crane Battalion.

Seeing him walking over, the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion became anxious.

Due to He Wuhuan’s death, the Divine Crane Battalion was very angry with the Tiger Battalion. Right and wrong aside, Jiang Chen killed He Wuhuan when he was too weak to fight back in the presence of so many soldiers. It was a slap in their faces.

“What do you want?!” Ren Hai was very unhappy to see him.

“Commander Jiang Xin?”

Jiang Chen ignored him. He looked toward the short-haired woman instead.

“What?” Jiang Xin was a little nervous, but she was more cautious than nervous.

“Don’t regard me as an enemy like this. If it were not for me, you wouldn’t have been a commander. Don’t you agree?” Jiang Chen said.

Jiang Xin was struck dumb. She nodded involuntarily. Then she came to herself and gave him a hard stare.

“Are you here to provoke us?” Ren Hai closed his fists tightly. His knuckles were cracking ceaselessly.

“No. Here is the thing. You need to gather Soldier Energy. So do I. Why don’t we have a compet.i.tion to see who is faster?” Jiang Chen said.

“You won’t be a match…” Jiang Xin smiled, but Ren Hai stopped her before she could finish the sentence. Ren Hai coughed, as a way to tell her to stop speaking. Then he asked Jiang Chen, “Do you really want to compete with her? What about using that spiritual stone as the bet?”

“No problem. What about you?” Jiang Chen agreed immediately.

Jiang Xin was kind of surprised. She had a weird look on her face. It turned out she was going to be the next chief commander appointed by the Ling Long Palace. As to Ren Hai, he would be an officer after the drill.

For that reason, Jiang Xin had tried to gather Soldier Energy,, and she had already gathered 500 soldiers’ Soldier Energy. The other soldiers of the Divine Crane Battalion all knew about that. They were looking at Jiang Chen in a playful manner, holding their tongues.

Jiang Chen saw there was something weird going on, but it did not matter to him.

“What do you want?” Ren Hai asked.

“What do you have?” Jiang Chen answered with a question.

His tone irritated Ren Hai again. Ren Hai said in anger, “Since your bet is a spiritual stone, we’ll bet 100 Martial Soul Stones!” This bet was kind of big. But because they had already started ama.s.sing the Energy, the Divine Crane Battalion did not think it a big deal.

“Okay.” Jiang Chen was surprised they had so many Martial Soul Stones. Weren’t those stones monopolized by the academies? But he soon tumbled to why. They were monopolized by the academies, but it did not mean they could not be purchased. He guessed these 100 Martial Soul Stones were Ren Hai’s payment for his work on the Qi Li Continent.

“Okay.”

Zhang Han ran over in a hurry, but it was already too late. Jiang Chen had agreed.

“Commander, Jiang Xin has already gathered some Soldier Energy!” Zhang Han hurried to tell him.

“Ha, ha, ha.” The soldiers of the Divine Crane Battalion could not help but burst out laughing. But Jiang Xin was so embarra.s.sed that she lowered her head.

“What do you say, Jiang Chen? Do you still want to make this bet? You are the one who proposed it. Don’t say that I’m bullying you,” Ren Hai said in a sarcastic tone.

“Of course. Why not?” To his surprise, Jiang Chen agreed immediately again.

Jiang Xin, who had been feeling awkward, lifted her head. She was angry.

Jiang Chen insisted on taking the bet after learning all this. This only meant one thing—he looked down on her.

Ren Hai was struck dumb. After confirming that Jiang Chen had only come here a day ago, he touched his chin.

“If you want to give me this spiritual stone, it’s surely fine for me,” Ren Hai said.

“Not necessarily. Commander Jiang Xin, I would appreciate your instructions throughout the compet.i.tion,” Jiang Chen said.

“Huh.”

Jiang Xin’s look was very sharp. She said, “You’ll absolutely lose. I’m telling you!”
