"This subject has come to propose marriage on behalf of my son, the king. I humbly request that Your Majesty marry Princess Long Ruojing into my son."
Although Zhou Hua was known as the one who married the Crown Prince, there was a heavy tone in his voice. That was, the marriage between the two countries. To the Empire, this was a form of kindness and gratitude.
"I absolutely won't marry. What's with that son of yours? This princess isn't going to marry either."
Before Long Zhenyu replied, Long Ruojing, who was seated below, glared and rejected him.
"You are the Princess Long Ruojing, your looks are not bad, just that your strength is too low, it is really hard to match your strength."
The person sitting next to Zhou Hua was the son of the prince of the country of Yuan Wu, Zhou Xiong. If Zhou Hao was here, he would recognize this person. They had collided many times in the secret realm.
"Your Majesty, this is the son of our nation, Zhou Hua.
Zhou Hua raised his head very high as he said that, his eyes filled with a complacent look. It was obvious that no one in the Empire's younger generation had ever been able to reach such a height.
Zhou Xiong heard Zhou Hua introducing himself. Although he stood up, he still stood up and bowed slightly before sitting down again with an extremely disrespectful expression. He was looking at Sky Martial General Su An and the rest who were extremely dissatisfied and about to flare up, but were stopped by Long Zhenyu's gaze.
"Little girl, you are still too young to be married. Please explain this when you return."
Long Zhenyu was extremely fond of Long Ruoqing, and would he allow her to marry into the Tianzhou? Furthermore, he did not like Zhou Xiong and his people.
"Your Majesty, this doesn't seem right. Our country's king sincerely came to form a marriage alliance!"
Zhou Hua knew that there was no hope in marrying Wang Lin, but he didn't want to give up. At this point, he was interrupted by Zhou Hua.
"I have heard that there are many talents in your country and do not wish to compete. If anyone can defeat us, the chances of winning are over half, so let's forget about the marriage. Otherwise, Princess Long will have to return with me to the Tianzhou. "Of course, if the Emperor wishes to suppress us as much as possible, we would be powerless to resist him and would have no choice but to return empty-handed."
Zhou Xiong's expression was extremely well-behaved, and his tone was extremely arrogant. Everyone wished they could go up and push him down to the ground, then fiercely step on his face a few times.
"Impudent, do you think this is your Yuan Wu Country?"
General Tianwu stood up, his expression solemn, the anger in his eyes like lightning. At the same time, his aura pressed down on Zhou Xiong, causing him to have difficulty raising his head.
"This must be General Tianwu. You are a Heavenly General of your generation, how can you dispute with the younger generation?"
Although I am the one in charge of this trip, since Prince Ran has already spoken, I shall do as he says.
If there is no one in your country, then you can cancel the Crown Prince's words. We will return to your country today.
"Zhou Hua did not say anything after that. However, from the few laughs he let out, everyone could tell that he was ridiculing them. Moreover, the sound was extremely loud, so loud that it could be heard by every hundred thousand people present. There was a momentary silence, only the heavy breathing of countless people could be heard. Such naked contempt, as long as it was a man with guts, he would sit back and do nothing. Even if he loses his life in the competition, it would be better than sitting here and waiting to be humiliated. "
"Let's start with the competition. It was just a small part of it at the beginning, but at the end, everyone could hear the slogan. The sound of it converged into a sea and spread throughout the entire imperial palace, shaking the entire imperial city."
The corner of Zhou Hua's mouth curled up into a smile, because he knew that provoking others was already a success, but now that Long Zhenyu thought about it, it was impossible. With such a strong crowd, if the ones in power were to forcefully suppress them, the people would naturally not be convinced, and the royal family's rule would definitely be weakened.
As the king of a country, Zhou Zhenyu naturally would not allow such a thing to happen.
"Then we'll do as you say."
Long Zhenyu's self-confidence was hard to suppress, so he had to be certain.
"Father!"
Long Ruojing's eyes were hazy with tears, wanting to make Long Zhenyu withdraw from the competition, but Long Ji stopped her.
As the ruler of a country, there was no need to take his words as a joke. If Long Ruojing were to persuade Long Zhenyu, she would only embarrass Long Zhenyu, and would even mock him. Long Ji naturally did not wish for such a thing to happen, and only wanted to see the following competition, what would happen to the Empire?
Long Ji was worried. There were a total of seven youths in Zhou Xiong's group, which meant that they had to win four matches against Fang Xing in order to ensure the prestige of the empire and thus, Long Ruojing would not marry too far into the rest of the empire.
But the Empire could not produce so many people.
In the younger generation, other than Su Wan, who could win a match, and him being able to fight with the lowest opponent, the rest of the people were all in dire straits. It was difficult for them to be her opponent.
It had to be known that the weakest of the seven was at the peak of the Soul Condensation Realm, there were six people above the second level, and Zhou Xiong was even more terrifying at the early fourth level, so no one was able to shake him.
When Zhou Xiong and the other young men heard Long Zhenyu's words, they were very happy. Although they could not enjoy killing the best in a country while standing on the high platform, but when they returned to the Yuan Wu Country, they could still talk about it and boast about it.
"I'll go first."
The youngest of the seven people, the one with the lowest cultivation level, stood up from his seat and jumped off the high platform. The youngest of the seven people, the one with the lowest cultivation level, stood up from his seat and jumped off the high platform.
Humans had boundaries, but martial arts had no boundaries. Strength was strength, and there was no need to say anything else. Dancing was one thing, but enmity was another.
Although none of the experts sitting on the high platform revealed their expressions, they secretly compared and came to the conclusion that their own juniors were truly inferior to others.
The Tianzhou was truly an elite, and could not be compared with in the Empire. This was an indisputable fact, and there was no way to refute it.
The young man walked up onto the stage with a complacent look on his face. He folded his hands behind his back and shouted towards the high platform, "My name is Zhou Tie, does anyone dare to come up and fight?"
The young men who were standing behind them were naturally the most outstanding people in their clans. Zhou Tie could clearly see that only Long Ji, the Second Emperor, was able to fight with him, and the others were all people who could be defeated in several moves.
"As a prince, I should be the one to take on the first match."
Long Ji stood up, left the table and jumped down the stage, running towards the stage.
"Chi!"
Zhou Xiong gave a cold snort and said in a low voice, "If you don't go up, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a second person."
Although the voice seemed to be extremely soft, everyone on the high platform could clearly see that Guo Guo had slapped everyone's face, especially the younger generation members who were standing behind the various large clans. Their faces were as red as a monkey's fart, and they even wished that they could find a hole to hide in.
But there was an exception, and that was Huangfu Tianyou. He was only slow by half a beat, and was then snatched away by the Second Prince, who could only decide to go up for the second match based on his personality, regardless of whether he was strong or weak, his anger was unbearable, and the most important thing was to fight another battle, and even if he lost, he would definitely learn a lot.
Everyone said that a madman's way of thinking was different from others, and that was the truth.
Long Ji stepped off the stage and with a tap ofhiss feet, he floated down the stage like an eagle, her movements even more graceful and beautiful than Zhou Tie.
"
Second prince of the Empire, Long Ji, please come up to the stage to seek guidance.
"Long Ji's demeanor is extremely polite, he is not as arrogant as Zhou Tie, how can you differentiate between the strong and the weak?"
Let's start then.
"After Zhou Tie finished speaking, he crossed his arms and charged towards Long Ji. He did not defend at all, as he was extremely confident in his own abilities. Long Ji dodged the wind and started to fight with Zhou Tie. Both of them had the same cultivation stage. Zhou Tieseng had a longer time to arrive, and the strength of his palm was dense. It was as if he wanted to use the autumn wind to sweep the leaves and end the fight as soon as possible. Although Long Ji's strength was not as profound and solid as his opponent's, he was not too different. His movements were agile and his moves were clever and varied, as a prince, he had the careful guidance of the royal family's patriarch, and his combat power was stronger than people of the same realm. The two fought back and forth, and in the blink of an eye, twenty moves had been exchanged. Long Ji seemed to not have exchanged any moves, his face did not turn red nor did he jump, his movements were elegant and agile, the power in his palm was endless, his movements were even more exquisite, his palm striking towards Zhou Tie. Zhou Tie, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. Although his attack did not slow down, his forehead was covered with sweat and his breathing had become ragged. Although Zhou Tie was arrogant, he wasn't a rude person. He knew that if he continued to walk forward, he would inevitably be the one to lose in the end. Naturally, he didn't want such a scene to occur. At the same time, it also caused the surrounding air to drop in temperature. The appearance of a polar bear was faintly visible on his back; it was the martial soul, Snow Bear, that he had awoken. As Zhou Tie awakened his martial spirit, his power also increased. His attack and defense had become more organized, but he was still unable to seize the initiative. The difference in combat strength between the two of them was also very clear. "
A piece of trash!
"Zhou Xiong cursed softly. Even though he had used his awakened Martial Spirit, he was still not Long Ji's match, and Long Ji did not reveal his martial soul yet. For this competition to reach such a degree, anyone with a discerning eye would know that Long Ji will definitely win."
Beat him up, beat him to death.
"…"
I'll see if they still dare to act so arrogantly when I beat them up until they can't even recognize you.
"…"
Go, Prince, knock that brat out and kick him off the stage so that I can execute a few punches as well.
"The citizens of the Empire who were watching the battle below the stage were previously still holding onto their hearts, afraid that Long Ji would lose. Now that they know that Long Ji is already in the victor's grasp, they started to cheer for him.
Zhou Tie had been unable to fight on the stage for a long time, so he was already very angry and ashamed. Hearing the cheers from the audience, he became even more angry and scared.
There were nearly a hundred thousand people below the stage. Even if there were several tens of thousands of people throwing punches at him, they would certainly be beaten up to the point that their parents would not recognize them.
