Chapter 2 - Xia Xuan

In the enormous imperial discussion hall, Xia Cha was the leader, and a letter was placed in front of him. Xia Cha's cold eyes stared straight at the letter. Around him, countless of the Empire's secret upper echelons sat quietly, many of them with lazy expressions on their faces. All of them were people who had made great contributions to the Empire, and they, who enjoyed the empire, had long ignored all matters of the Empire.

There was complete silence. No one dared to speak. used to be the Ninth Prince when he was young, and thus had no affinity with the throne. However, his talent was extremely high, and he was already one of the top experts in the empire when he was just fifteen years old, becoming one of the top three in the empire when he was twenty years old. However, that teenage boy was able to defeat Xia Cha so easily. It was not hard to imagine that there was a strong empire behind him, and no one dared to say anything about it.

"As the strongest trump card of the Empire, the Shadow Legion naturally cannot be used so easily. However, we cannot ignore this matter." Xia Cha looked at the letter on the table, his eyes suddenly focused, and said: "Pass down my order, increase the Empire's border guards' strength by ten times, and expand the military power by three times in the shortest amount of time possible, at the same time, strengthen the Shadow Legion's training intensity, without mistake."

"Yes." "Yes!" All the ministers replied and disappeared.

Sitting alone in the Meeting Room, Xia Cha stared at the letter on the table, only to see that it said: "Ten-Thousand Iron Army, the Desolate Land is attacking, not leaving a trace behind."

A black-clothed child slowly shook his head. With an ice-cold voice, he said. "I still have to do it myself …"

After a long while, Xia Cha walked out of the Meeting Room, and saw the child who was waiting for him. This child's clothes were simple and unadorned, with a benevolent expression, without the slightest bit of dignity that he should have. He was shockingly Prince Xia Xuan.

Seeing Xia Cha coming out, Xia Xuan immediately grabbed onto both of Xia Cha's hands, and an immature child's voice anxiously said: "Royal father, Xuan'er is starting to train, the moment she wakes up, she is already at Stage Nine."

"Oh!" Xia Cha was slightly surprised. As he held Xia Xuan's hands, he realized that this child who never had a single spiritual energy in his body actually had an extremely dense amount of Qi in his body.

Just as he was rejoicing, a white-robed man suddenly appeared behind Xia Cha. Seeing that Xia Cha and Xia Xuan were happily chatting, the white-robed man stood there quietly without saying a word.

After chatting with Xia Xuan for a while, Xia Cha stroked Xia Xuan's hair and let one of them play. He turned around and glanced at white-robed man, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared, as the majesty of an emperor surfaced on his face.

"Your majesty, that child has been found." The white-robed man said in a low voice. Hearing that, Xia Cha looked around and started whispering with white-robed man.

On the second day, in a commoner academy called Jinxing, Xia Xuan stood at the entrance of the academy, dressed in plain clothes and full of smiles.

As soon as he stepped into the academy, Xia Xuan started to frown because there were a dozen or so people surrounding and attacking a person not too far away. The people in the surroundings hid far away, afraid that they would be miserably attacked by the fish pond.

Although he was besieged by a dozen people, the person did not show any signs of panic. His body actually toyed with those people until they turned around. Just as the 10 were preparing to attack again, Xia Xuan suddenly made his move. Xia Xuan's sudden appearance shocked everyone present.

The surrounding spectators immediately began whispering to each other.

"Who are you?" One of the people that looked like the leader roared at Xia Xuan.

"Can you control it?" Xia Xuan laughed in disdain, and then, with a turn of his body, he sent the two people beside him flying.

"Humph!" Xia Xuan snorted, her figure flashed and appeared in front of the man, his fist striking his body, immediately causing him to fall to the ground.

That person crawled up while clutching his stomach, and looked at Xia Xuan fiercely. However, after seeing Xia Xuan's slowly raising fist, he quickly retreated, and said to his subordinates: "Go, cripple him."

The man who was besieged earlier stood beside Xia Xuan, staring coldly at the people who were about to rush over. Everyone repeatedly withdrew when they saw the icy-cold gaze.

"Su Bing, you know that we aren't really looking for trouble with you this time, there's no need to do this right?" The person that was punched by Xia Xuan said.

Without replying, the spiritual energy in the hands of the man called Su Bing gathered together and a short sword already appeared.

Brother Wang Hao will look for you guys. Let's go. The leader waved and led everyone away.

Seeing that everyone had left, Xia Xuan started to size up the person called Su Bing. He was dressed in simple clothes but had a long breath.

Su Bing glanced at Xia Cha and said: "Mind your own business." He then ignored Xia Xuan and turned to leave. However, before he walked too far away, the black haired man turned his head and said, "Be careful of Wang Hao." And then, he left.

Looking at the black haired man's leaving figure, Xia Xuan shrugged his shoulders, and thought to himself: "There are no good people to report." Then he went to find a place to stay alone.

Walking on the road of the academy, Xia Xuan's mood was extremely good. As he was walking, Xia Xuan realized that something was wrong. He looked around and didn't see anyone around him. On the way, a man dressed in black wore a mask and carried two longsword s on his back. He stared at Xia Xuan with killing intent in his eyes.

Unknowingly, a masked white-robed man suddenly appeared behind Xia Xuan. On his back were two longsword s, but his eyes were equally filled with killing intent. Apart from the color of his clothes being different from the man in black, the rest could be said to be exactly the same.

Glancing at the white-robed man, Xia Xuan sneered. With a swirl of his palm, the spiritual energy congregated into a bunch of pike s, and even though the pike was half a head taller than Xia Xuan, it did not look funny at all. The bright red pike's color was so dark that it seemed like it was about to drip blood.

Seeing Xia Xuan taking out the Weapons, the black and white male also pulled out the two swords on their backs.

Without waiting for the two to make a move, Xia Xuan already held onto pike, turned and swung his spear, wanting to force white-robed man to retreat, but white-robed man used his two swords to block Xia Xuan's attack.

At the same time, the man in black held his two swords and arrived behind Xia Xuan like a ghost.
