“Please have a seat, everyone.”

The emperor said with a smile. He did not seem to mind what had just happened.

Jerry smiled slightly.

“His temperament is very steady. He is indeed an old fox.”

“But.”

A glimmer of light flashed in Jerry’s eyes.

“But he has also lost the ambition and sharpness as a conqueror!”

As expected, the Great Peace Emperor did not have much time left.

He was worried.

If it was Jerry, he’d kill anyone who dared to offend the dignity of his country!

But he could not say it out loud.

Jerry sat like this until the banquet began.

At the banquet, everything went on as usual.

In the middle of the banquet, the main topic finally began.

The Great Peace Emperor gestured, and the Crown Prince stood up and said in a clear voice, “Guests, today we have the Green Cloud Banquet that has been held for more than 300 years, and countless warriors and famous figures have been born from this event.

“The once-in-a-decade Green Cloud Banquet is a grand event that all the warriors in the world dream of attending.”

As they spoke, the Crown Prince suddenly pointed outside.

“Everyone, please follow me!”

Everyone stood up and slowly walked out of the great hall. Immediately, they saw that outside the great hall, there were ten arenas!

And on those arenas, there were ten people standing!

“Hiss! It’s the top ten warriors the Green Cloud Banquet!” Someone cried out in surprise.

The ten people standing on the arenas were the top ten winners of the banquet ten years ago!

Four of them were from the Great Peace Dynasty, three from the West Chu, and three from the South Qing kingdom!

These were the publicly recognized top ten warriors of Qingzhou! All of them were in the later stage of Level 1!

In the past ten years, many great warriors had challenged them, but they were unable to shake their positions.

Actually, this Green Cloud Banquet was just a venue for them to fight each other, as they had done every time in the past.

As long as one became one of the top ten warriors, they would basically be one of the most powerful warriors in the world. They would not easily fall off the list.

Only after they got old would new warriors replace them.

“Guests, these are the top ten warriors in the world!

“The rule of the banquet is that whoever can defeat the top ten experts will be able to replace their positions.

“This is the highest and most glorious position for Qingzhou warriors. Those who want to have a try can come forward and fight.”

The Crown Prince said with a smile.

However, he added one last sentence, “Oh right, killing is not prohibited on the arenas, so if your strength is insufficient, it’s better not to go up. They will not go easy on you.”

A true warrior would never go easy on their opponents. Every time they fought, they would use their full strength.

Therefore, if the challenger was not strong enough to fight, he might be killed before he could even surrender.

“Who is the number one warrior?”

Jerry asked Hermes who was standing beside him.

Hermes was the god of commerce, travelers, thieves, and livestock. He was also the messenger for the gods, and was extremely talented in intelligence gathering.

Apart from Metis, Hermes gathered the most intelligence.

Hermes scanned the area and finally identified a figure.

“It’s him. He’s the Anyang Warrior of the Great Peace Dynasty, the number one warrior in the world.

“He’s given the title after the name of the capital of the Great Peace Dynasty. It’s enough to see how respected he is in the kingdom.

“This person is a loyal protector of the royal family, and he is only loyal to the emperor of the Great Peace Dynasty. This is also one of the reasons why no prince dares to go too far in the fight for the throne.”

Jerry nodded and looked at the figure dressed in gorgeous armor.

With such powerful strength, he was known as the number one warrior in the world. Entitled with the name of the capital, Anyang City, he was also the protector of the royal family.

If he was willing, he could even be conferred as a duke, right?

“Peak stage of Level 1? Surrounded by a killing aura, he is indeed very powerful.

“But any one of you can go up and compete with him. You guys are no weaker than him,” Jerry said.

The gods around him, such as Hermes, Dionysus, and the others, were all at peak stage of Level 1. It was difficult to determine who was stronger.

And the so-called number one warrior in the world, Marquis Anyang, was the same.

They were all at the peak stage of Level One. Even if they fought with Marquis Anyang, they might not be weaker than him.

“Sir, if you want to see a fight, then I’ll go up and take the title of number one in the world for you.”

Hermes said in a deep voice.

Because they were not in the Sky Dynasty and had to keep Jerry’s identity a secret, Hermes called Jerry “Sir” and not “Your Majesty”.

Jerry waved his hand and smiled.

“There’s no need for that. Let me do it myself.”

Jerry smiled and slowly walked forward.

Everyone was stunned. They had never expected that the first person to step out to challenge was from the Sky Dynasty.

Was he going to show his strength to awe the people present?

“Isn’t this lord a bit too young?”

“That’s right. He looks to be only in his twenties, right? The youngest top ten warriors in history was over thirty.”

“All the warriors here obtained the title of top ten warriors after the age of forty. I’m afraid that the young guy is not strong.”

“If he were to die here, would the Sky Dynasty use this as an excuse to start a war?”

“It can’t be, right? The Sky Dynasty won’t go this far, right?”

“That’s hard to say. After all, this is a game between two kingdoms.”

Many people had these thoughts in mind.

Of course, the most concerned people were those from the Great Peace royal family, the South Qing royal family, and the Western Chu royal family.

The representatives from the South Qing and the Western Chu were all members of the royal family. It had been like this since ancient times.

Jerry represented the Sky Dynasty, so they naturally thought that Jerry was a member of the royal family of the Sky Dynasty.

The Emperor of the Sky Dynasty had always been a mystery.

Other than knowing that his name was Jerry, they didn’t even know how old he was.

Of course, everyone in the world tacitly agreed that Jerry was a middle-aged man or an old man.

After all, such a huge dynasty couldn’t have been established by a young man.

Absolutely impossible.

Jerry walked to the center of the arena, facing the world’s number one warrior, Marquis Anyang. He said loudly, “Parker of Sky Dynasty challenges you!”

When he said this, the entire arena went silent.

He had actually challenged the number one warrior in the world?
