1464 Mission For Jue Wushen, Arrogance At Its Finest, Becomes Humility
Back at Luo Clan, Jue Wu Shen, Wang Chentian, Chu Hong, Lan Yu, Li Fei, and those who had a closer relationship with Chu Kuangren gathered together.
They were still talking about the battle at Interstellar Arena, and the more they talked about it, the deeper the admiration they had for Chu Kuangren.
“Too bad I wasn’t able to witness the battle with my own eyes. It’s going to be my lifelong regret,” Wang Chentian said.
He had just come out from closed-door meditation a few days ago and missed the opportunity at the arena, as well as the greatest battle of the century.
The thought fueled his regrets.
“Yeah. If I knew what would happen, I would go there even with my injuries.”
Iceworm Ru Xue also regretted that she did not attend the event. While Wang Chentian was in closed-door cultivation, she was recovering from her injuries.
“What are you guys chatting about?”
Chu Kuangren and Luo Clan Ruler came in.
“Master.”
“Chief.”
“My King.”
“Master.”
“Brother Chu.”
Several different names represented Chu Kuangren’s different identities.
The Luo Clan Ruler was left speechless by the plethora of names they called Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren was also embarrassed by the names. Even he did not know how to reply to all of them.
The group then exchanged an awkward gaze and laughed it off.
They gathered to chat and know more about each other so that they could make plans for the future.”
“I’m planning to go back to Jade Pool Sacred Land,” Yu Zhi said with a smile.
Qing Feng glanced at Chu Hong and then said, “Chu Hong, if you’re okay with it, you can come to the Phoenix Nest. You have Senior Huang Jinghua’s inheritance, and I believe the Huang Ruler will accept you. With the help from Phoenix Next, you’ll definitely improve faster and without hindrance. As for Huang Yuyi, I’ll settle it for you.”
As the Azure Phoenix, Qing Feng was raised as the next Phoenix Prophet, and even if she had not achieved a ridiculously high cultivation level, she possessed some level of authority in the nest.
If she became Chu Hong’s guarantor, the Huang Ruler would not hold Chu Hong responsible for what happened to Huang Yuyi.
“I’ll think about it,” Chu Hong said.”
“I killed Huang Yuyi, it has not much to do with Chu Hong,” Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
“Brother, you’re being too courteous. You killing her is the same as me killing her.”
Chu Hong grumbled. She felt like Chu Kuangren was trying to cut ties with her by saying that.
“Haha, okay.” Chu Kuangren smiled and simply dropped the topic.
He could tell Chu Hong had the urge to go to the Phoenix Nest because it was where all Godly Phoenixes should be and all the resources and techniques would greatly benefit her.
“Oh right, chief! What are you going to do next?” Wang Chentian asked.
“I think I’ll go back to the academy,” Chu Kuangren said.
He was no longer interested in the opportunities aside from the orb he got from the Interstellar Arena.
He planned to go back to the academy to settle down for some time.
Cultivation was a path meant for walking, not running.
“Hmmm. We have the same idea as well.” Wang Chentian nodded.
Chu Kuangren then called Jue Wushen out to speak to him alone.
“My king, is there anything that I can do for you?”
“Wushen, what are your plans after this?”
“I’ll follow wherever you go, my king. As for other plans, I have yet to come up with one.”
The Pseudo Celestial Demon Tribe had pledged their loyalty to Chu Kuangren, so he eventually became their leader.
Chu Kuangren nodded. “I have a mission that I would like you to carry out.”
“At your service.”
Chu Kuangren took the Holy Violet Crown out and said, “Are you interested in becoming the ruler of the Holy Violet Emperor Planet?”
Jue Wushen was shocked.
“The Holy Violet Emperor Planet belongs to you, my King. I wonder what you mean by that?”
“I want you to deal with all the remaining factions on the planet and bring them under our wings.”
“My king, with the crown, it’s not difficult achieving total loyalty.”
“The planet is huge, and it might take a lot of time to complete this mission. I don’t want to waste my time on this.”
If Elder Ruyan from the Firmament Empire was here, she would know what his plans were.
In short, he refused to stick his hand in the trouble and wanted someone else to take his place in settling the trivial stuff.
He did the same with Firmament Empire and Black Haven Sect.
In a more euphemistic way, one would call this giving the right job to the right person.
In plain words, he was lazy and did not want to do all the heavy lifting.
“Then why are you giving the crown to me?”
“There are many forces and some Arch Gilded Immortals on the planet. With the crown, you will be able to overpower them. Don’t worry, I’ll share with you the authority to utilize the Holy Violet Restriction Seals from the crown. From today onwards, you will be the ruler of the planet,” Chu Kuangren said.
Chu Kuangren was fine with giving away such huge power, and he did not miss for a bit.
It was as though the power to rule over Holy Violet Emperor Planet was not something valuable, and he could discard it whenever he wanted.
“My king, you’re giving me huge powers here. Aren’t you afraid of me doing something behind your back?” Jue Wushen asked with a smile.
“Haha! You won’t,” Chu Kuangren said confidently.
He was confident in his ability to analyze people, and he knew Jue Wushen had completely pledged his loyalty and would never betray him.
Besides, even if Jue Wushen really did something behind his back, with his capabilities, he could easily remove Jue Wushen from power.
The Holy Violet Restriction Seals were effective on others, but not him.
The Holy Violet Imperial Commander was the perfect example.
“Since you are assigning such a huge task to me, I, Jue Wushen, will carry out this task with my life!” Jue Wushen said sternly.
“I’ll tell the Feng Clan, Luo Clan, and Jiuli Tribe to assist you. Oh, and Luo Yan seems to be a potential candidate. She will definitely be useful in the future, so why not try to train her?”
“I understand, my kind.”
…
A while later, Yu Zhi and Qing Feng left the planet and returned to Jade Pool Sacred Land.
Chu Kuangren returned to the academy with Lan Yu and Chu Hong.
As for Jue Wushen as the Pseudo Celestial Demon Tribe, they stayed back and carried out the mission that Chu Kuangren assigned.
Chu Kuangren has confidence in Jue Wushen’s capabilities.
Back at Hundred Academy, Mister Lu sensed Chu Kuangren’s return from the Interstellar Arena and welcomed him back with a bright smile.
“Greetings, Mister Lu,” Chu Kuangren said and bowed slightly.
“Haha, you don’t need to be this courteous, chief. Your fight at the Interstellar Arena became the headline for days, and it made the academy proud,” Mister Lu praised.
Chu Kuangren smiled brightly in response to the praise.
Any other sky-prides would be bloated with arrogance and pride after winning such a huge battle, but Chu Kuangren remained humble.
Although humble was not the correct word to describe Chu Kuangren’s attitude, Mister Lu could tell that Chu Kuangren did not care about the battle at all.
From a different perspective, Chu Kuangren was not exactly humble. It was just that he did not care or take the sky-prides and Prodigies seriously, hence the response.
Utmost arrogance somehow turned into humility in his case.
Mister Lu shook his head in relief. What had the academy done to have such an amazing person as its chief?
He was certain that if Chu Kuangren continued to grow, the Hundred Academy would flourish for ages to come and Chu Kuangren would become the pillar that supported the academy, an even stronger one than Mister Zhang.
Mister Lu told the students to prepare a feast to welcome Chu Kuangren and company back.
