Everyone was shocked speechless. Fan Yu was so powerful that many of his peers were no match for him. He was even one of the five participants in this competition, yet he was sent flying by a single punch from an unknown cultivator. It was simply inconceivable.
When Qin Xuan saw this scene, the corner of his mouth raised slightly, and a brilliant smile blossomed on his face. As expected, Tai Long did not disappoint her, and in a single battle he displayed his dignity.
At this moment, Lin Yurong's expression was extremely unsightly to behold. Fan Yu was one of the people chosen by him, yet he was sent flying by the person recommended by Lin Yuyang with a single punch. This showed how huge the gap was between the two of them.
"He's actually this strong?" Lin Xuan's pupils constricted, a huge storm was brewing in his heart, this man was so young, yet he had such terrifying strength. No wonder he was so arrogant, he was so confident in his strength.
Suddenly, he thought about what Lin Yuyang had said previously. Lin Xuan looked at Qin Xuan and saw that his expression was calm, without a single fluctuation, as though this was not unexpected at all. This made Lin Xuan even more shocked.
Tai Long took a step forward and in a flash, he returned to his original position. His expression was calm and he returned to his previous state, as if nothing had happened.
All the officials turned to look at Tai Long, only to see his eyes revealing a vicious look, like a prehistoric beast, releasing a monstrous killing intent, berserk beyond compare.
"Very good. Your strength makes this emperor very satisfied. Congratulations on obtaining the qualifications to participate in this martial arts competition." Lin Xuan smiled at Tai Long.
"Thank you, Emperor." Tai Long cupped his fists and said to Lin Xuan, then looked at Lin Yurong and said indifferently: "If you think I am not strong enough, you can give it a try."
Lin Yurong's expression froze, in front of so many people, with Tai Long's strength, was he going to slap him in the face?
Hearing that, Lin Xuan frowned, he shook his head at Tai Long and said: "Yu Rong is from the intentions of the five, if anything happens, I am afraid we will not be able to participate in the battle."
Lin Yuyang stepped forward and cupped his fists towards Lin Xuan: "royal father has already seen the strength of one of them, and Fan Yu was easily defeated by him, royal father should now believe in their strength right?"
Just then, a court official walked out and cupped his fists towards Lin Xuan: "Lord Emperor, this subject thinks that what Fourth Prince said is true, since the strength of one of them has already been acknowledged, I believe that the remaining will not be weak."
This person was one of Lin Yuyang's trusted aides, someone who had been holding back his words the entire time. But now that he had stepped out, it showed just how shrewd he was, that made him speechless. After all, the person he chose was a failure.
Lin Xuan became silent as he stared at Qin Xuan. Earlier, Yu Yang said that the person who had broken through to the Natal Opening Realm was able to battle Tian Luojue, doesn't that mean that his talent was even more terrifying than the person just now?
Although this was extremely unrealistic, after seeing the shocking scene from before, Lin Xuan suddenly felt that it was not impossible.
His gaze turned, seeing the confidence on Lin Yuyang's face, he steeled his heart and said: Since that's the case, then I shall grant you two the qualification to fight, I hope you two will not disappoint me.
A smile flashed past Qin Xuan's eyes, he cupped his fists towards Lin Xuan and said: "Thank you Lord Emperor, the two of us will do our best."
"That's great. If my Wind Chasing Country is able to protect our reputation, we will definitely bestow you two with great rewards." Lin Xuan's expression turned serious, his dignified gaze swept across everyone and said: "Then we will set the time of the competition to be three days. The news will spread, and representatives of the five nations will be coming to the palace to participate in the competition."
"I shall follow the orders of the royal father." Lin Yurong was the first to chime in. Just now, he had been greatly disgraced and had always been unable to lift his head. Now, he had finally found a chance.
Lin Yuyang faintly glanced at Lin Yurong, but did not say anything. He actually did not have the intention to fight for the throne with him, as his goal was to pursue the martial way.
After that, Qin Xuan and Tai Long returned to Lin Yuyang's palace, no longer caring about other things.
However, things did not come to an end because of this. On the contrary, the news spread out through the mouths of many ministers, and more and more people found out that Fan Yu was actually sent flying by a nameless person, and that person was recommended by Fourth Prince.
Very quickly, the news of the competition three days later, spread to the representatives' residences of the five nations, when they heard the news, they were all very surprised, from what they knew, there were not many people in Wind Chasing Country that could fight, why would they suddenly decide to battle three days later, could it be that they found a helper?
But even so, the representatives of the five countries still happily accepted this matter. From their point of view, unless Chasing Wind could find the top talents of the other countries, they would still lose.
Three days passed quickly, and the battle between the five kingdoms finally began in the palace.
On this day, the gates to the imperial palace opened, and groups of people walked out. They were all dressed in luxurious clothing, welcoming the representatives of the five countries and the heaven's pride level experts.
The representatives of the five nations were all high ranking Yuanfu Stage experts. Their mission was not only to pressure the Wind Chasing Country, but also to protect their own nation's geniuses.
Many citizens of the Divine Wind City were also gathered outside the palace gates, watching the people of the five nations enter. They were shocked and filled with hatred, because they knew that the people of the five nations had repeatedly insulted their princes, making them their vassals.
The chosen from the five empires stood at the very front with an incomparably arrogant look on their faces. Their eyes were filled with an unparalleled arrogance, as though they were unrivalled existences in this world.
Behind them were the powerful representatives. At this moment, all of their faces were brimming with smiles, as though they were destined to be resplendent today.
The Heaven Martial Field was the largest Battle stage in the Wind Chasing Country. It was circular in shape and incomparably huge. It took up an extremely wide area and could accommodate hundreds of Natal Opening Realm martial cultivator at the same time. It was the usual training grounds for the royal family's army.
And today's competition was being held in the Sky Martial Field, it was enough to see how much importance the Wind Chasing Country had placed on the competition.
At this time, Lin Yurong led a lot of ministers and waited in the spectator stand. Lin Yuyang brought Qin Xuan and the rest of them to the spectator stand.
Not long after, the people of the five countries arrived at the Heaven's Martial Field. Each country occupied a separate area, and the area was clearly separated from each other.
In the five nation's area, every single person's face was filled with pride and arrogance. In the past, the people of the Wind Chasing Country had always suppressed them, but now, the situation had reversed and they could finally suppress the others.
"BOOM, BOOM!"
The sound of a thunderous bell reverberated through the air, shaking the skies, as though it could reach to the highest heavens, resounding unceasingly in the skies above the Royal Palace.
The gazes of the countless spectators all gleamed with sharpness as they inclined their heads, staring at the skies. A group of silhouettes could be seen approaching from the depths of the clouds, quickly appearing in front of them.
There was a man sitting on top of a supreme throne, his eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes were sparkling. The auras of the few people beside him were also unfathomable, giving people a feeling of power.
At this moment, everyone in the spectator stands stood up and bowed to the silhouette standing in the air. "We pay our respects to the Emperor!"
Lin Xuan's face was calm, but when he looked at the five nations, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and after that, he smiled and said: "You may rise, but today, the five nations' envoys are here to seek for guidance, let us celebrate, everyone do not need to be restrained, we can enjoy this feast as much as we want."
When the five nations heard him, their expressions froze, and then they sneered in their hearts, obviously they were forced to fight, and actually called it a martial art, truly shameless, but they knew, that was Lin Xuan protecting his dignity.
They believed even more that at the moment when Chasing Haze lost, Lin Xuan's face which he had spent so much effort to protect would instantly collapse. In the end, it was just a joke.
Lin Yuyang, Qin Xuan and Tai Long were at Wind Chasing Country, so they were able to see the vast majority of the area.
Lin Yuyang pointed to a certain direction and said to Qin Xuan: "Qin Xuan, that is where the Daiyuan Kingdom represents. The purple robed youth in the middle is called Murong Fusu, the Heaven's Pride who represents the Daiyuan Kingdom in battle."
Qin Xuan looked in the direction Lin Yuyang pointed and indeed, he saw a purple-clothed youth. The corners of his eyes had an extremely deep white mark, as if he was born with it, and gave off an evil aura.
"What is his relationship with Murong Zhe?" Qin Xuan had the same surname as him and there were white marks on his eyes as well. Although it was not that deep, it had left a deep impression on Qin Xuan.
"He's Murong Zhe's cousin, but his talent is even more outstanding than Murong Zhe's. He's the most proud person in the Murong Family's younger generation." Lin Yuyang explained.
After that, Lin Yuyang introduced Qin Xuan to a few more people. They were from Daiyuan Kingdom, Qiushan from Kingdom of Zi Ling, Long Aotian from Northern Dragon Country, and Gu Ning from Iron Sword Country. Although these people were the top geniuses in their respective countries, they were nothing in Qin Xuan's eyes.
After all, they had all grown up in the eighteen nations and had not stepped into the Mysterious Sky Palace for cultivation. They could not even be compared to Sikong Xuan, and compared to the Heavenly Sword Lady that he had met before, they were like the difference between clouds and mud.
This was the difference in their standards. When Qin Xuan's opponent was still a member of the Tianyu Country s, his standards were extremely low. If one were to look at today's competition with his eyes at that time, he would definitely be incomparably shocked.
However, this was only a hypothetical situation. In these past few years, when Qin Xuan fought with the disciples of the Mysterious Sky Palace s, and when he even got acquainted with the Heavenly Sword Lady s outside of the Mysterious Sky Palace s, when he crossed paths with the king level entities, when he even interacted with the souls of the s, his horizons had already changed greatly, and were no longer as narrow as they were before.
Because of this, Qin Xuan's current attitude towards the competition was completely different from others. His heart was no longer filled with the desire to win, and his heart was incomparably calm, as if the clamoring around him had nothing to do with him.
