“Alright then! Since the first prince, His Highness, is personally joining this battle, then things couldn’t possibly get better. However, I’m not sure if Your Majesty agrees?” The envoy smiled, but it seemed somewhat sinister. He did not feel the least bit worried after seeing the first prince’s cultivation.“Since Imperial Son has willingly accepted the challenge, you may proceed,” the emperor replied calmly, looking at the first prince.
The music stopped and the two people who were going to battle stood at their respective places. The first prince was full of Battle Qi, practically thrumming with excitement.
“Please!” The first prince said generously to Xiao Tianfan, feeling extremely pleased with himself. The opponent’s Battle Qi was merely at Level-8, so this was a good chance to establish his might. He wanted all of Nan Xia’s courtiers and citizens to know who the most powerful prince in Nan Xia Country was!
“Such low cultivation and yet you dare come here to shame yourself,” Xiao Tianfan murmured disdainfully in a tone that only the first prince could hear, not even bothering to look him in the eye.
“What did you say?” The first prince stiffened, a hint of anger in his eyes. Without caring about his prestige, he straightened and attacked Xiao Tianfan. This was to establish his might anyway; the sooner he defeated his opponent, the better.
Xiao Tianfan remained still until the powerful Battle Qi Level-9 attack from the first prince was right before him, and then he calmly waved his sleeve.
A muffled thud sounded as the mighty first prince was sent flying like a swatted bug. His head knocked into the steps before the hall, and his hair was so messy that he looked absolutely dishevelled.
“Great Fulfilment!” Exclaims of shock could be heard throughout the hall. Everyone finally knew Xiao Tianfan’s real cultivation.
The officials who were below looked at each other fearfully. Nobody would have thought that Xiao Tianfan was actually at the cultivation level of the Great Fulfilment. If it were someone else, defeat would mean nothing, but it had been the first prince who had eagerly volunteered himself to battle. The first prince who was at Battle Qi Level-9 was sent crashing to the ground with just a single blow; if this was made known, Nan Xia Country’s reputation would be destroyed all thanks to him.
In the main hall, the emperor remained stoic as he calmly observed the scene. The people around were unable to guess what he was thinking, only Consort Li who was by his side understood that the emperor was furious at the moment.
The first prince stared at Xiao Tianfan in shock, his hair resembling a bird’s nest. ‘Great Fulfilment? How was he at Great Fulfilment?’ The first prince had wanted to use this opportunity to establish his might, but he did not expect to lose his entire reputation. He glanced at the throne, saw the emperor’s expressionless face, and felt his heart sink. If Imperial Father was like this, then things were not looking good.
For a moment, the amosphere in the hall turned tense. The officials of Nan Xia Country were extremely anxious. How could they turn things around this time? The first prince had been shamed very badly, they definitely needed to turn things around!
Who could be the opponent of Xiao Tianfan though? Who could face him and emerge victorious?
Instantly, Ling Chuxi received looks from many people. Tsk tsk, it was really an indescribable feeling to be stared at by so many people like this. It was somewhat similar to having a dam break and wanting to use her as a sandbag to block the opening. ‘Ptui! Sandbag, your arse!’ The corner of Ling Chuxi’s mouth twitched. ‘What stupid metaphor was that?!’
The emperor and Consort Li also looked at Ling Chuxi. Obviously, they also wanted Ling Chuxi to fight.
Ling Chuxi shrugged. To be honest, even if these people did not speak or prompt her, she would have gone to battle anyway. She wanted to use this opportunity to properly research her opponent’s Turning Cloud Gesture. Such an exquisite, mysterious finger gesture – she definitely needed to learn it!
