Chapter 707 - Shang Honghua’s Expedition, Asteroid Belt Seven, Bunch of Superficial Fools - Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chu Kuangren returned to the command headquarters, but Shang Honghua was nowhere to be seen.

However, he saw her two guards.

These two guards were a pair of sisters. One was called Bai Zhongxue, and the other Bai Zhongquan, who both grew up with Shang Honghua since childhood.

Now, they were Shang Honghua’s trusted deputies.

“The Commodore Junior is very angry now. I advise you not to show yourself in the next few days,” Bai Zhongquan said lightly.

“It’s my first time seeing the Commodore Junior this pissed. Honestly, she shouldn’t be reacting this way if she had only lost a battle. Brother, what did you do to the Commodore Junior?” Bai Zhongxue asked curiously.

Chu Kuangren shook his head helplessly, unwilling to say more.

He also thought about the matter on the way back.

By then, he already had some guesses as to why Shang Honghua was angry. It seemed like he had made the other party feel ashamed by giving her some mercy.

He did not expect her opponent to be so serious about combat.

Since Shang Honghua was still angry, Chu Kuangren did not wish to disturb her either. How else was he supposed to deal with an angry woman?

He still went about his days like usual. However, since he was now living in the command headquarters, it was inevitable for the two of them to bump into each other occasionally.

Chu Kuangren did not care that Shang Honghua was ignoring him, as long as she did not interfere with his work.

On this day.

Shang Honghua, donned in bright red armor, went to meet with the Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade.

Seeing her getup, Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade knew what she was planning to do. “Where are you going this time?”

Shang Honghua had formed her own Redshirt Army after becoming an Emperor and would go out on an expedition every other time.

It could be said that in just a few years, Shang Honghua had made rapid progress from just entering the Emperor Realm to today’s Rank Nine Initial Emperor Realm. Apart from her talent, it was also accredited to her hard work.

“I’m going to the Asteroid Belt Seven.”

Shang Honghua said.

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade frowned slightly. “The battle at Asteroid Belt Seven has been perilous recently, and they have the presence of beings of the Heavenly Imperial Realm. Although you’re strong, it is still too dangerous to head there.”

“I heard that Asteroid Belt Seven has birthed Chaos Emblems. That item is of great use for me to improve my strength, so I wish to go there and try my luck.”

“Hua’er, how many people through the ages have done what you did, breaking through from Initial Emperor to Rank Nine Initial Emperor Realm in a short few years? Without the Chaos Emblem, you can still break through to the Heavenly Imperial Realm after a few years of hard work. Regardless, Stronghold Seventeen’s leadership will be passed down to you in the future. You don’t need to take risks.”

Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade persuaded her painstakingly.

“Since there are treasures that can help me breakthrough to the Heavenly Imperial Realm quickly, why should I take the time to work on it?”

“Hua’er, you’re being too impatient. I know. You want to avenge Yuan’er and the others. But to give up everything for expeditions like this to look for Opportunities of Fortune to help you achieve a breakthrough… What if something happens to you?”

“I won’t get into any trouble!”

Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade was interrupted by Shang Honghua before he could finish his sentence. “I will never rest before I avenge my parents!”

“Grandfather, I can bear with the fact that the Heavenly Dao was imperfect back then, and I couldn’t become an Emperor. However, I’m now an Emperor, and the road to cultivation greatness is presented right in front of me. Only by becoming a Heavenly Imperial will I have the opportunity to take revenge. I don’t want to wait any longer!” Shang Honghua said in a low tone.

Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade knew Shang Honghua’s temperament and that she had already made up her mind about this. No matter how much he tried to convince her otherwise, it would be futile.

Right at this moment.

Chu Kuangren walked in.

Seeing him, Shang Honghua scoffed and replied, “Grandfather, didn’t you say that no one over the ages can match my achievements? Don’t we have one right here now? One who is even better than me.”

Chu Kuangren, who just came in, looked confused.

‘What is this situation?’

‘They’re complimenting me, right?’

‘Yes, they are.’

‘But why are they complimenting him?’

Those two also sounded a little weird.

“General, I’m here this time to say my goodbye. I’ve troubled you long enough, and it’s about time I go to the Extraterritorial Region.”

Chu Kuangren formed a fist salute and said. His reason for coming to the Extraterritorial Region this time was to train and gain more experience. Hence, he should not remain in the command headquarters forever.

“Oh, you came at the right time.”

Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade’s eyes lit up and said, “Hua’er is just about to go out for an expedition too. Why don’t you both go to Asteroid Belt Seven together?”

“No need for that,” Shang Honghua said.

“Why? What did I miss?”

Chu Kuangren asked curiously, and Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade briefly told him about the Asteroid Belt Seven.

“With the intense battle there and the birth of the Chaos Emblems, it definitely sounds like a conducive place for my training.”

“That’s right. With Brother Chu’s strength, ordinary places can no longer meet your cultivation needs. Recently, due to the birth of Chaos Emblems in Asteroid Belt Seven, many elites have shown up there, which is just right for you to spar with them.” Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade highly recommended Chu Kuangren to go to that place.

Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren also understood why the other party was convincing him. He hesitated for a while but nodded eventually. “I’ll go there and have a look.”

“All the people who will come with me on this expedition are women. I’m afraid the presence of a man won’t be very appropriate,” Shang Honghua said gently.

“If you don’t agree with it, I will bear the consequences of you hating me because I can go as far as breaking your legs than letting you go to such a dangerous place.”

“Grandfather, you…”

Shang Honghua was getting more and more infuriated, so she took a deep breath. “I don’t mind bringing him along as long as the others agree as well.”

“If you’ve agreed with it, do you think the others will say no?”

Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade curled his lips into a smirk.

Shang Honghua was left speechless, and she glared at Chu Kuangren. “Assemble at the barracks this afternoon. Latecomers will not be entertained!”

Then, she walked away.

“Brother Chu, I’m sorry to trouble you.”

“It is no trouble at all. Either way, I’d still like to go to Asteroid Belt Seven and take a look.”

Chu Kuangren smiled faintly.

Chaos Emblem was also a kind of soul emblem but more advanced. A chaotic spirit source was comparable to a thousand imperial spirit sources!

He did not want to miss out on such a treasure.

“In that case, I shall trouble you to take care of Hua’er. I know that this child has a temper, but there is a reason for that. Her parents were killed by the Blood Tribe’s Heavenly Imperial several decades ago when she was still a child. Since then, revenge for her parents has become her obsession…”

Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade told Chu Kuangren about Shang Honghua’s background.

Shang Honghua’s parents were killed in battle. From then on, she became determined to avenge her parents, so she worked hard, day and night, training herself, which developed her current combative and obstinate character.

This story was not new. In fact, it was very cliché.

People like her could be found everywhere in this Extraterritorial Battlefield.

That afternoon.

In the barracks.

Shang Honghua’s Redshirt Army had assembled.

Chu Kuangren came as well.

“This time, Brother Chu will join us on our expedition,” Shang Honghua said reluctantly to the neatly lined-up Redshirt Army in front of her.

Then, she said again, “Of course, if you don’t wish to travel with him, I can report back to my grandfather and ask him to leave.”

She looked at everyone expectantly.

She was this close to asking her people to outright reject him.

“What? Brother Chu is coming with us?”

“That’s great. Who doesn’t like fighting side by side with such a handsome brother?”
