"Lifting the cauldron?" Chu Chen was suspicious.

"Our Wind Wave Nation, in order to solve the problem of the competition between martial artists, has been pushed to fight with a cauldron for victory. A cauldron weighed 9000 jin, depending on who lifted it more, we can use this to judge who won in the end, however, this is also very dangerous, if you can't hold it in, the weight of the cauldron would instantly pour into your body, at least lightly, you would vomit blood, at most, your meridians would be crushed, causing your spirit energy to reverse, and you should understand the outcome." Yan Yuexi explained.

The light in Chu Chen's eyes flickered slightly. As he left the stage, he naturally knew that if he used more power than his body could support, it would smash into his body. Once the spirit energy reversed, it would destroy the foundation of his body.

This Xiao Kuang might seem arrogant and belittled, but in reality, he was also an extremely shrewd and ruthless person. He wanted to destroy Chu Chen's Heart of Martial Dao, causing his body to suffer damage, and thus be unable to cultivate for all eternity.

Xiao Kuang thought to himself, if that was the case, Yan Yuexi would definitely look down on a fellow who was unable to cultivate. At that time, in the entire imperial city, no, in the entire Wind Wave Nation, only he, Xiao Kuang, would be able to be so happy and proud. If they were to get married, who else could they choose but him?

After hearing Yan Yuexi's introduction, Chu Chen spoke without thinking: "Coincidentally, I, Chu, do have some strength, so I'll spar with you." If it was a duel, Chu Chen wanted to give himself some time, and if Xiao Kuang did not agree, that was because he did not dare, but right now, the other party wanted to use the cauldron, this competition, was based on the power of martial arts, Chu Chen had just opened up eight Martial Vein s, other than that, in the Northern Spirit Sect, he had cultivated the body tempering method, so the power was extremely terrifying, thus he directly agreed to it.

"Chu Chen, don't be rash. In my memories, Xiao Kuang was able to lift six cauldrons, and this is only last year, before I went to Northern Spirit Sect. At that time, he had only just entered the Spiritual Martial Stage, and now, a year has already passed.

Even though it was astonishing, Yan Yuexi did not think that he could win against Xiao Kuang. Because the time interval was too short, it was impossible for Chu Chen's cultivation to increase at a fast pace, which meant that in order to compete, it would at most be around sixty thousand kilograms. Compared to the Xiao Kuang who had been separated for a year, the chances of failure were very high.

"Right now, the Emperor cannot go back on his words. Chu Chen, you have already agreed to compete with me. Everyone listen carefully, don't be a coward." Seeing Yan Yuexi's persuasion, Xiao Kuang was afraid that Chu Chen would go back on his words.

"I've never reneged on my decision. You don't need to provoke me." Chu Chen didn't listen to Yan Yuexi's persuasion, and calmly said while looking at him.

Since he had agreed, he might as well wait for death.

Their eyes met, and the smell of gunpowder immediately exploded in the air, making it seem as if the air had dropped a few degrees.

"He's still too young. He can't take Xiao Kuang's provocation." The crowd shook their heads. They did not have high hopes for Chu Chen, and furthermore, it was very possible that he would be destroyed just like that.

Xiao Kuang, on the Ten Thousand Killing Battlefield, had already been conferred the title of Iron Spear King. He was not even nineteen years old, yet he had used six Martial Vein s and had even reached the second level of Spiritual Martial Stage.

"Chu Chen, I can give you a chance to go back on your words. If you leave now, no one will say anything, even Xiao Kuang." Yan Wushang said, he did not care about how anxious Xiao Kuang looked, and looked straight at him.

This young man had the unyielding will of a martial artist, and was also a good sapling when faced with trouble. Thus, he admired this young man for seeing his shadow, and did not wish to be destroyed because of his self-confidence.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I have already decided." Chu Chen said with a slight smile.

"Since that's the case, then tomorrow at the Martial Arts Practice Grounds, we'll compete with each other." With things having reached this stage, there was nothing left to say. After a few more courteous words, Yan Wushang left.

Xiao Kuang also left at the same time. When he left, he swept a fierce glance at Chu Chen with his cold and unsatisfied eyes, which were filled with contempt and a trace of anger.

How could Yan Yuexi not be angry after staying after they left?

"Chu Chen, consider yourself lucky. It looks like royal father appreciates you. If you stay here right now, you will definitely be heavily valued." Yan Yuexi still did not give up. Although Chu Chen had promised, she wanted to persuade him after going to the Meteorite Academy.

"My plan should not change at all. Right now, your injuries are pretty much healed. If nothing goes wrong, I should be leaving in a few days." The recommendation to grasp the Meteorite Academy, was to arrive before the allotted time, and now that there were still six months to go, they had to use half the time to travel, so Chu Chen did not want to delay, and did not want to waste it either. He also did not like it, and even more so did not want to ransom himself in the Imperial City for the use of these people who held authority.

"Don't worry, if your Wind Wave Nation comes to an end, on the day the war becomes urgent, I will definitely return from the Meteorite Academy. This is something that I have promised you."

"Hopefully. I hope you won't act shamelessly. Otherwise, I'll kill you." Yan Yuexi said mischievously.

"Cough, cough …" "You are a princess. Pay attention to your image." Chu Chen was speechless for a while, and it caused Yan Yuexi to immediately laugh brilliantly.

Xiao Kuang wanted to compete with the youth that escorted the princess back, so the news quickly spread throughout the imperial palace. Such a competition, was rarely seen, especially when Xiao Kuang fought with other people, and it had never happened even once.

It was because he was too powerful. Among his peers, it was difficult to find an opponent for him to fight. This time, he was going to fight against the young man who had escorted the princess back.

Because he wanted to see how extraordinary Chu Chen was, and if it was the same as what Yue Xi had said.

"The mark of a sword flower, the power of Sword Dao at 60,000 kilograms, with the body of a outer sect, he rushed all the way to sect master. This young man, has really made me look forward to it."

The morning of the second day. The Imperial Palace's martial arts arena was filled with people. This place was originally the place where the most elite soldiers trained.

Every year, there would be a few times when Yan Wushang would personally come over for military training. Most of the time, however, the training grounds were very quiet, because other than the soldiers who were training, only the young masters and daughters of the various powers in the palace were training here.

Today, this place was bustling with noise and excitement. The civil officials who rarely visited usually came early in the morning, and there were also many young men and women in bright clothes, following their parents as they sat in the stands.

In the highest and most middle position, there was Yan Wushang.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on the martial arena. There were two towering figures standing there, facing each other, and they were none other than Xiao Kuang and Chu Chen.

"Brother Xiao Kuang is so mighty, his aura is as sharp as a sword, and standing in front of him, should be that ranker called Chu Chen. To be honest, I can't feel much of his imposing aura, and I heard that he is at the level of his Bloody Martial Stage.

"That's not certain. I heard that one day, Flame Nation would be destroyed and he was the one who protected the princess when she returned. I don't think it would be that simple." A beautiful girl refuted the words of the young man, and looked at Chu Chen with a guesswork in her eyes.

To the majority of the people, Chu Chen was mysterious, but the things he did was a sensation, a mysterious added sensation, so there were a lot of gazes directed at him.

Xiao Kuang's temperament was just like his name, arrogant, proud, uninhibited, and tyrannical!

As for Chu Chen, he was calm and steady, but under this tranquility, he seemed like a Vicious Beast that was about to awaken at any time. The terrifying energy contained within caused his body to be covered with a layer of mysteriousness.
