Yang Zenke's sword drew a blood-red arc in midair as he waved it. "Earth Devouring Sword Stroke." He calmly uttered.

The red arc suddenly expanded and formed a huge crescent-shaped blade light that tore through the skies!

The air trembled as this blood-red light streaked towards Beiming Chu who had just cast his ultimate technique.

Beiming Chu felt a sense of dread upon witnessing this attack, but he could no longer evade it since he had already released his ultimate technique. Forcefully stopping his attack would only damage him, and he did not want it to happen, so without any options left, Beiming Chu decided to go all out!

All of his anma was now gathered on his fist and his arms had noticeably enlarged.

Booooooommm!!

A violent and thunderous explosion rang out, creating massive ripples in the air. Everyone's hair and clothes danced as the fierce gusts of wind hit them.

"What the hell?! Are they really from the younger generation?! Such strong attacks!"

"Holy shit! Could an early stage 4th-rank Knight Crusader really survive that kind of devastating blow?"

"The technique that Beiming Chu used earlier was the strongest body strengthening skill of the Beiming Family, the Hammer of Punishment: Sundering Evil Sky Hammer! Even a 5th-rank Spirit realm expert would die after receiving the full brunt of such skill!"

The crowd exchanged their viewpoints upon witnessing the battle, but most of them favored Beiming Chu in that collision.

The thick cloud of smoke slowly subsided and everyone could see a silhouette standing erect like a divine spear!

Jiu Shen activated his spiritual perception and his lips lifted slightly after seeing the man standing on the battle platform.

Other than him, the others were worried about Yang Zenke. After all, he was facing the strongest young expert of the Beiming Family who had defeated Liu Mengdi with his brute force.

Even Xiao Hua who was confident about Yang Zenke felt slightly nervous as she stared unblinkingly at the silhouette behind the thick smoke.

Everyone then saw the face of a smiling young man. His sword was already sheathed back to its scabbard. They then heard him say. "You are the first person who made me draw my sword."

His voice sounded calm, but everyone could sense the praise and sincerity in his tone.

Yang Zenke took one last look at the unconscious man on the battle platform before he jumped off the stage.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

"He could actually defeat someone who is a realm higher than him! What a scary talent!"

"Such a strong young man! How did Wine Master Jiu train this kid?!"

The emperor was also astounded by Yang Zenke's performance. 'Wine Master Jiu's sect is about to be established. I must make sure that Sylvia and Dante would be able to join his sect!' He said in his heart.

"Yang Zenke wins!" The overseer announced.

Yang Zenke went back to his group with a smile. He could sense everyone's respect and admiration. He had never thought that this day would come. He was just a servant destined to become an imperial guard, but everything changed after that man came into their life. He could still remember his words during their first day of training.

"All of you are just a bunch of weaklings with nothing noteworthy to be proud of! Even if you are forced to do things, what can you do with your puny strength?! Do you want to remain as trashes all your life?!"

"I will train you to become warriors!"

Yang Zenke glanced at Jiu Shen and his eyes imperceptibly softened. Everything was because of this man's grace. He changed his fate, and even the fates of Han Sen and all of his friends drastically changed because of Jiu Shen. His training might have been cruel and dangerous, but it was all worth it!

"Good job, Brother Yang!" Han Sen slapped his back with a wide smile.

Xiao Hua and the others also congratulated him for his victory.

Yang Zenke smiled back in response to their words.

"Prince Dante Silveria and Xue Tong, please come up on the stage!"

Prince Dante who had been silent the entire time stood up with a fierce look. His eyes burned intensely as if he was about to spurt fire. He could finally fight the guy who had severely injured his beloved sister! 'Xue Tong! I will destroy you today!'

"Dante, kill that guy." A cold whisper suddenly echoed silently beside his ears.

Prince Dante's eyes widened upon hearing his father's words. Kill Xue Tong? He was surprised by his father's cruel command and he could sense that everything was not as simple as avenging his sister's matter.

The fourth prince glanced at the emperor with a questioning look, but all he could see was his father's calm and dignified expression.

'Father wants me to kill Xue Tong? But for what? Did the Xue Family do something intolerable?' The fourth prince became curious, but he knew that it wasn't the time to ask for such questions.

In the end, he nodded his head solemnly before jumping to the battle platform.

On the other hand, Xue Tong calmly walked to the battle platform. He strode nonchalantly and he even waved at the crowd with a broad grin on his face.

"That fucking bastard! Beat that retard to death!"

"Beat him up!"

"Let him eat shit!"

Xue Tong merely smiled condescendingly after hearing the crowd's words. 'Watch how I beat this idiot of a prince! Let's see if every one of you could still laugh by then. Hahaha!' Xue Tong laughed in his heart.

Fourth Prince? The greatest genius of the Silver Wing Empire?

Xue Tong scoffed at this. Everything is different now. He might not be able to defeat the fourth prince with his own strength, but if he uses his trump card, he was confident that he could destroy the fourth prince!

Thinking about that, the corners of Xue Tong's lips curled upwards. This day had finally come! He thought that he would still have to wait for a long time before this could happen, but the plan changed after Elder Ming's lucky encounter!

Elder Ming was supposed to break through to the peak stage of the 9th-rank Saint, but something unexpected happened during his breakthrough! He decided to merge with his corpse puppet and force a breakthrough to become a full-fledge immortal!

Elder Ming's plan was difficult and something unforeseen might happen, but he persisted in his endeavor and after a few months, he was finally able to merge with bis corpse puppet! However, his breakthrough did not come without a price. Their Xue Family had to sacrifice thousands of slaves and disciples just for him to successfully ascend to immortality!

'Dante, I will let you experience the horror of fighting a corpse puppet!' Xue Tong thought maliciously as he smiled at the fourth prince who was now glaring at him with rage.

"Begin!"

Right after the overseer announced the start of their battle, the fourth prince immediately sprinted towards Xue Tong with his sword in hand. His eyes flashed with thick killing intent!

Xue Tong was surprised when he sensed this, but he was not flustered. He immediately took out his sickle and brandished it wildly. His movements looked random, but all of his strikes were aimed at the fourth prince's weak points!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The fourth prince blocked his attacks with his sword and he abruptly crouched to evade another one. He could sense the coldness of Xue Tong's sickle as it brushed past the top of his head. A few strands of his hair were cut apart and it looked as if the fourth prince had luckily evaded at the right time!

Xue Tong suddenly felt a sense of foreboding, so he immediately leaped away.

Swoosh!

The fourth prince slashed the spot where Xue Tong was standing just a few seconds ago.

'Fuck! Is this bastard trying to kill me?! In that case, I won't hold back anymore! You want to play with me, huh?! Then let me play with you!' Xue Tong cursed in his heart.

The fourth prince clicked his tongue after his attack was evaded. 'This Xue Tong is like a slippery cockroach, but if this is all he got, then he could only await his death!'

"Dante Silveria, it seems like you want to kill me, but did you really think that it is that easy to kill me? Hahaha!" Xue Tong laughed derisively as he stared at the fourth prince. He even directly called the fourth prince's name without hesitation! Such disrespect and provocation! Even the crowd was speechless at this and they thought that Xue Tong had gone crazy.

"What the hell?! Did I hear it wrongly?!"

"He actually called the fourth prince's name directly?! What a brave idiot!"

Prince Dante frowned upon hearing Xue Tong's words. He looked at the crazed expression on Xue Tong's face and he could not help but agree with the crowd.

"Watch closely, Dante Silveria! I will trample you in front of everyone!" Xue Tong laughed like a madman as he suddenly took out a coffin from his space ring.
