C106

The corner of Dongfang Haoran's mouth curled into a proud smile. He coldly looked at most of the aristocratic children present, and the disdain in his eyes became even denser. "You guys are truly a bunch of ignorant fools. With your strength, you want to defeat yourself? You're simply asking to be humiliated."

A bunch of ants!

He snorted.

Chu Tian could see the disdain and contempt in Dongfang Haoran's eyes, but he wasn't angry at all. Instead, he was smiling like a fool.

Chu Xuanqi and Chu Feiran were both by his side, and almost half of the Chu Clan's members had arrived. Everyone wanted to see who would be the champion today. From Chu Xuanqi's expression, they could already see the hope of the Chu Clan winning the championship. However, they did not know why the old master was so confident.

Most of the people in the Chu Clan still did not know that Chu Tian had broken through to the Xiantian level, hence they were suspicious of their master's blind self-confidence. After all, Dongfang Haoran was the most talented among the younger generation. He was able to condense his Xuan Energy at the age of eight and reached the peak of the ninth level of the Warrior Novice at the age of seventeen.

For the other children of influential families, this was definitely a terrifying existence. Although their young master was progressing at a rapid pace, he was only at the seventh level of the precelestial level. It was really a mystery where the lord's confidence came from.

Almost the entire capital and all the surrounding aristocratic families were gathered here. Suddenly, a clamor of noise could be heard. Chu Wujie was holding a cup of Longjing and slowly sipping on the wine as he gazed at the scenery in the distance, as if he did not care about what was happening.

The king, who was sitting on the stage, looked at the scene below him and felt a sense of pride. He thought about how he had swept through the world, chased the deer into the world, and eventually built an empire.

This was truly an unforgettable memory. It was a pity that time was no longer here, and now it was time for these juniors to come onstage. They hoped that the young talents of these empires would be able to double the size of the empire.

Thinking of this, his eyes could not help but flash with flames. This was something that he had been dreaming about for many years.

His gaze swept across the audience and landed on Dongfang Haoran's face, lightly praising him in his heart. The Dongfang family had truly become more talented in these years, and this Dongfang Haoran was one of the most outstanding existences among them. He had already displayed extraordinary talent at such a young age.

With regards to the control of the troops and horses, it was also an important factor. If that was the case, Dongfang Haoran might be challenged, after all, the Chu Family was the strongest family in the entire Empire with the most military power.

Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes couldn't help but turn to the side of the Dongfang family, the Chu family.

Towards Chu Wuwei, who did not care about the changes in his surroundings, he was truly a tired and bold fellow. The emperor could not help but think of the scene where Chu Tianjiao had expressed his displeasure with him in the throne room. All these years, it seemed that this was the first time for this kid to not be able to see the fear he had towards the strongest person in the empire in his eyes.

Was this really a fellow who had been an idiot for 18 years?

However, what was this kid thinking right now? He had the strongest opponent by his side, and the other children from influential families also had many experts. Was he very confident, or did he feel that there was no need to fight?

Thinking up to this point, the Emperor was puzzled as well. He turned his head to look at Chu Xuanqi and met Chu Xuanqi's indifferent gaze. Perhaps because he saw the emperor looking at him, there was a bit more respect in Chu Xuanqi's eyes.

Weird, this old man doesn't seem to be worried. I really don't know what the Chu Clan is up to.

It was said that this boy had the skills to train soldiers, and even the three times the strength of Chu Xuanqi's army was unable to shake the family servant team, it was truly unbelievable. Perhaps he was one of the people who understood Chu Xuanqi the most, and if it wasn't for his help, he wouldn't have been able to sit in his current position.

Thinking up to here, he couldn't help but glance at the servants' group behind Chu very, Xuan You said that these servants, with twenty troops, actually made Chu Xuanqi's sixty warriors end the battle and return miserably. Originally he didn't believe it at all, but after seeing this group of servants, he immediately felt a sense of respect.

What a powerful team.

The servants were very quiet and solemn. They were very similar to Chu Feng, and they had no reaction to the noise outside. It was as if they weren't here to participate in the martial competition, but to cultivate.

I hope this kid can create a miracle today!

The Emperor secretly thought to himself that he actually hoped that Chu very much could achieve victory.

The official next to him had already walked up and announced that the auspicious hour had arrived. The emperor had also slowly climbed the three flights of stairs that had been built not too far away and announced in a loud voice, "The auspicious hour has arrived. Everyone, get ready."

Silence descended upon the crowd. No one dared to make a ruckus. After all, if the emperor was disgraced in such a situation, the family might very well exterminate their ancestors.

The emperor's voice came from afar, sounding clearer and clearer, carrying with it a natural awe-inspiring presence.

"For the sake of the Empire's talent selection, we will be selecting a general and a deputy general for this year's competition. I hope that everyone will make every effort to let the Empire continue to expand."

Right after he finished speaking, there was a ruckus. Chu very much couldn't help but frown. Wasn't there only one general? Why did the emperor suddenly add another deputy general?

Chu Xuanqi immediately understood what was going on. As the emperor, he would naturally choose to be on the better side between the several clans. This was the reason for his actions. He didn't want any of them to be in charge. This was the Emperor's Art.

The noise from below was soon quietened. The emperor had already descended the stairs. There was a letter from the president of the military depicting the rules. The various families had also sent people to draw lots to choose the order of appearance.

Chu very much walked onto the stage. When he came back, he had a note in his hand. The one facing him was Kang Qing.

This was really a narrow path for enemies to tread!

He had interacted with Kang Qing quite a few times, and they didn't seem to be having fun at all. It seemed that the heavens were helping him. They wanted him to solve the problem here, but it could be considered a past grudge.

Sorry, I won't hold back.

A smile appeared on the corner of Chu Wuqian's mouth. Thinking of the bitter and bitter look that Kang Qing was going to make, he felt a great sense of satisfaction in his heart.

The first round was a showdown between two disciples from two small families, both of them were not good fighters, so the fight was not intense, and it was not pleasant to watch, making one drowsy from watching. Chu Feng was not in the mood to think, and he even felt that it was funny that the two of them actually reached the end of this kind of occasion, it was no different from a street hoodlum, rolling on the ground and fighting with a sorry figure.
