Zha Mu's face went grim when he heard the reminder of the Sun Ascent Kingdom's ambassador, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand like a bolt of lightning before grabbing towards his waist, wanting to withdraw the sheathed spirit saber from his waist.
But, would he be in time?
"Hmph!"
At practically the instant Zha Mu withdrew his hand, Xiao Yu's sleeves bulged up once more and swiftly flashed out. Before Zha Mu could withdraw his saber, Xiao Yu followed him like a shadow and blasted onto Zha Mu's body, as if he could predict the future.
"Ah!!"
Zha Mu's shrill cry completely suppressed the sound of his ribs breaking, and his entire body was blasted flying before crashing onto the ground in a sorry state.
After crashing onto the ground, the intense pain caused Zha Mu to roll all over the ground as cold sweat flowed.
Xiao Yu, victory!
"Good!"
Instantly, many people from the Crimson Sky Kingdom cheered.
Especially the Xiao Clan's Patriarch, a smile appeared on his face …
Earlier, no matter if it was the Su Clan or Duan Clan, all of them had disciples that entered the arena to battle Zha Mu, yet all of them ended in miserable defeat.
Xiao Yu defeating Zha Mu had undoubtedly brought great honor to him and the Xiao Clan.
"Haha … Good."
The Emperor's face revealed a smile as well.
Although he'd always maintained his composure earlier and seemed to be indifferent towards the outcome of the battle, but every time a young genius from the Crimson Sky Kingdom was defeated, slight disappointment couldn't help but arise in his heart.
Now that Xiao Yu had defeated a young genius from the Sun Ascent Kingdom, it brought honor to him.
"What's your name?"
The Emperor looked at Xiao Yu and asked.
"Your Majesty, I'm Xiao Yu."
When facing the Emperor, Xiao Yu's face didn't have the coldness from before, and he was reverent and respectful.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Yu is my good friend."
Duan Lingtian looked at the Emperor as he spoke via voice transmission.
His actions were undoubtedly because he hoped that the Emperor would think more highly of Xiao Yu.
This was extremely important to Xiao Yu's future …
Xiao Yu was his friend, and he hoped that Xiao Yu would be able to make a name for himself in the Crimson Sky Kingdom.
The Emperor's gaze squinted when he heard Duan Lingtian's voice transmission, and he glanced deeply at Xiao Yu. "Xiao Yu, I'll remember this … I'll properly reward you after the friendly martial competition between the young geniuses of our Crimson Sky Kingdom and Sun Ascent Kingdom ends."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yu hurriedly responded, his face full of flattery.
Unlike Duan Lingtian, although Xiao Yu's martial talent was not bad, it was only limited to the Crimson Sky Kingdom.
Duan Lingtian's future wasn't something that could be restricted by the Crimson Sky Kingdom.
On the other hand, if nothing unexpected happened, Xiao Yu was bound to spend his entire life in the Crimson Sky Kingdom.
In the eyes of Xiao Yu, the Emperor of the Crimson Sky Kingdom was a supreme existence …
Now that such an existence wanted to reward him, it caused him to be pleasantly surprised and terrified at the same time.
"The Xiao Clan disciples are indeed extraordinary … Most importantly, they're young and still have a lot of room for development. They're much stronger than the Su Clan and Duan Clan disciples. "
The Sun Ascent Kingdom's envoy looked at Xiao Yu as a cold light flashed within the depths of his eyes, and his face was covered in a hypocritical smile as he spoke slowly.
These words were obviously sowing discord.
"Envoy, you're mistaken."
Right when the expressions of the Su Clan and Duan Clan's Patriarchs went grim, Xiao Yu glanced calmly at the Sun Ascent Kingdom's envoy. "The Su Clan and Duan Clan are the same as our Xiao Clan, they're both the three great clans of the Imperial City, and the experts within their clans are numerous like the clouds …"
"No matter if it's the Su Clan or Duan Clan, they both have a young genius that I'm ashamed of my inferiority! Moreover, the ages of those two young geniuses aren't older than me. "
Xiao Yu spoke slowly.
"Brother Xiao Yu, your words are a bit too much … Your current age is at most around 25 years old. The Su Clan and Duan Clan actually have young geniuses that are younger than you and possess strengths that surpass you? "
The Sun Ascent Kingdom's envoy obviously didn't believe it.
"No matter if Envoy believes it or not … That person from the Su Clan has already left the Imperial City a few years ago to wander the world. Before he left, in terms of strength and natural talent, he far surpassed me. As for that person from the Duan Clan, I think Lord Envoy will have the chance to meet him very soon. "
As Xiao Yu spoke up to here, he paused for a moment, and his gaze imperceptibly glanced at Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled.
He naturally guessed who the two people Xiao Yu spoke of were.
The Su Clan, Su Li.
The young sword cultivator that he and Xiao Yu got acquainted with in the Iron Blood Army's Genius Camp when they were young. Later on, he even entered the Imperial City's Paladin Academy with them and became good friends.
But unfortunately, fate made fools of people. Su Li was forced to leave in the end, and there was no news of him until now.
But one thing could be sure of was that before Su Li left, in terms of strength and natural talent, he indeed far surpassed Xiao Yu.
As for the Duan Clan.
Duan Lingtian naturally guessed that the person Xiao Yu spoke of was him.
The unsightly expression of the Duan Clan's Patriarch, Duan Ru Huo, eased up, and he glanced at Duan Lingtian as a wisp of a smile appeared on his face.
Right, the young geniuses of their Duan Clan weren't inferior to the disciples of any other clan.
He believed that even those large clans of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom might not have a young genius that could compare with Duan Lingtian in terms of natural talent in the Martial Dao.
The corners of the Su Clan's Patriarch, Su Bo Ya, curled into a bitter smile.
He naturally guessed that the young genius of the Su Clan that Xiao Yu spoke of was Su Li. However, could Su Li still be considered as a disciple of the Su Clan?
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Then I'll look forward to it!"
The Sun Ascent Kingdom's envoy glanced indifferently at Xiao Yu, then he looked at the other young man by his side. "Ha Yi, you go experience the ability of this Brother Xiao Yu … Hmm, remember to show mercy, don't be careless and 'cripple' him."
Duan Lingtian frowned slightly.
This Sun Ascent Kingdom's envoy emphasized the word 'cripple,' and his intentions could be seen from this.
"Yes, Lord Envoy."
The Ha Yi that was called out by the Sun Ascent Kingdom's envoy was precisely the young man that bickered with Zha Mu earlier. He who had a robust figure took large strides forward with a majestic gait, and he gave others a shapeless feeling of oppression.
When he saw Xiao Yu revealing an expression of eagerness, Duan Lingtian's eyes squinted slightly, and his Spiritual Force swept out to envelop Ha Yi.
Ninth level of the Origin Core Stage!
At the first possible moment, Duan Lingtian confirmed Ha Yi's cultivation.
"Brother Xiao Yu, I'm extremely happy that you've defeated Zha Mu … If it was at any other time, I would surely have a few drinks with you. But now that the Lord Envoy has spoken, I have no choice but to fight you. "
Ha Yi stood in confrontation with Xiao Yu, and he grinned, revealing his snow white teeth that were set against his dark skin, causing it to be especially conspicuous.
Xiao Yu glanced deeply at Ha Yi. "Since you're so straightforward, then I'm not someone that doesn't know what's good for me … I admit defeat!"
Admit defeat!
As soon as Xiao Yu said this, besides Duan Lingtian, everyone present couldn't help but be stunned.
They obviously never imagined that Xiao Yu would make such a decision.
They were extremely bewildered.
A moment ago, Xiao Yu still had an appearance of eagerness.
Why did he suddenly change so quickly at this moment?
Right when most of the people present reacted to what had happened, Xiao Yu had already returned to the side of the Xiao Clan's Patriarch …
When faced with the question of the Xiao Clan's Patriarch, Xiao Yu replied via voice transmission. "Patriarch, this Sun Ascent Kingdom's Ha Yi is a ninth level Origin Core Stage martial artist."
The Xiao Clan's Patriarch's face went grim when he heard this.
"Haha … I was wondering how extraordinary the Crimson Sky Kingdom's Qing Lin was, but I never imagined that he's just someone that fled in the face of battle!"
The face of the Sun Ascent Kingdom's Envoy sank when he saw Xiao Yu admitting defeat, and he couldn't refrain from ridiculing.
"I know my limits. A ninth level Origin Core Stage martial artist … I'm not a match for him."
Xiao Yu glanced deeply at Ha Yi as he spoke slowly.
"You … How did you know?!"
Ha Yi's face went grim, and he was slightly moved.
He felt that since arriving at the Crimson Sky Kingdom, he'd never fought, so logically speaking, there ought to be no one that knew his true cultivation …
Now that it was exposed by Xiao Yu, he was unable to wrap his head around it.
The face of the Sun Ascent Kingdom's Envoy sank as he glared at Ha Yi, then he said via voice transmission. "Ha Yi, Ge Lu exposed his cultivation at the first level of the Nascent Soul Stage in advance, and you were present when I taught him a lesson … I repeatedly instructed you not to expose your cultivation before today, and this is how you promised me?"
Obviously, as far as the Sun Ascent Kingdom's Envoy was concerned, Ha Yi had surely exposed his cultivation in advance, otherwise, it would be impossible for the members of the Crimson Sky Kingdom to know Ha Yi's cultivation in advance.
"Lord Envoy, I … Since arriving at the Crimson Sky Kingdom, I've never fought, and never exposed my cultivation …"
Ha Yi replied via voice transmission, and his tone was filled with grievance.
Ninth level Origin Core Stage!
Xiao Yu's words had already caused everyone from the Crimson Sky Kingdom to be greatly shocked, and when they noticed the unsightly expression of the Sun Ascent Kingdom's Envoy, they completely confirmed it.
Looks like the second person from the Sun Ascent Kingdom to enter the arena is really a ninth level Origin Core Stage martial artist!
Instantly, the expressions of some disciples from the three great clans that were eager to give it a try went grim, and they sat down once again and didn't dare move rashly.
What a joke!
A ninth level Origin Core Stage martial artist was utterly not something they were capable of going against.
Now, they felt slightly fortunate.
Fortunately, Xiao Yu exposed Ha Yi's cultivation, otherwise, they would surely not have a good end.
Duan Lingtian looked at the scene before him with a calm expression.
The reason Xiao Yu admitted defeat was entirely because he'd told Xiao Yu about Ha Yi's specific cultivation via voice transmission earlier …
Xiao Yu trusted Duan Lingtian incomparably, and didn't doubt Duan Lingtian's words in the slightest, and directly admitted defeat.
Causing the Sun Ascent Kingdom's Envoy's plan to teach Xiao Yu a lesson to fail.
"Ninth level Origin Core Stage …"
For a time, the gazes of the members of the three great clans of the Crimson Sky Kingdom practically descended onto Nie Fen who sat at the Divine Might Marquis Estate's seating area in unison.
Nie Fen, the Divine Might Marquis Estate's Junior Marquis, and his cultivation was at the ninth level of the Origin Core Stage.
As far as they were concerned, amongst the young geniuses of the Crimson Sky Kingdom present, probably only Duan Lingtian and Nie Fen had the strength to compete with the Sun Ascent Kingdom's Ha Yi.
Subconsciously, they'd taken Duan Lingtian to be their final trump card.
After all, the Sun Ascent Kingdom still had a first level Nascent Soul Stage young genius that hadn't made a move yet.
Before today, they even thought that the Crimson Sky Kingdom would lose for sure.
But at the moment they saw Duan Lingtian earlier, they seemed to have seen the light of dawn, the light of hope …
As far as they were concerned.
