If Liang Hongshen couldn't find someone who could enter the top ten for the duchy, then the Liang House would be demoted to a baron.
This was why Xu Yuanming was laughing at Liang Hongshen.
Liang Hongshen didn't have many chances left, but he'd brought someone who was only at the initial success stage of the spirit realm to the martial dao conference. In Xu Yuanming's eyes, he'd given up on himself.
Qin Yichen didn't bat an eyelid in the face of the mockery, but Liang Hongshen was obviously enraged by Xu Yuanming's words.
"Siyao, come here. Let our Viscount Liang take a look at you."
The angrier Liang Hongshen was, the more excited Xu Yuanming became. He waved at the young man behind him and gestured for him to come forward. Then, he said in a gloomy voice, "Viscount Liang, this is my son. During the martial arts conference, he will break your genius bones one by one. Then, you can return to Qianlan County and become a baron in peace!"
"Bastard!"
Liang Hongshen was so angry that his body trembled. He clenched his fists so tightly that his fingernails almost dug into his flesh.
"Haha!"
Xu Yuanming laughed proudly.
The young man named Xu Siyao also smiled maliciously at Qin Yichen.
"Peak of the great success stage of the spirit realm."
Qin Yichen saw through Xu Siyao's cultivation with a single glance.
No wonder Xu Yuanming was so proud. With a twenty-something year old Jin 'er at the peak of the great success stage of the spirit realm, he had a certain chance of entering the top ten.
Qin Yichen curled his lips and didn't say anything. However, his disdainful attitude infuriated Xu Siyao.
"Kid, you'd better be glad you didn't meet me!"
He said to Qin Yichen in a menacing tone. If this wasn't Twilight City, he probably would've attacked Qin Yichen already.
"I do hope so."
Qin Yichen replied to him blandly.
Although Xu Siyao's cultivation had reached the peak of the great success stage of the spirit realm, his aura was a bit weak. It was obvious that he'd used medicine to raise his cultivation.
This was completely different from Qin Yichen refining the Fire Pearl.
This was because when he was refining the Fire Pearl, the energy from the Fire Pearl had been refining Qin Yichen's physique. It was an improvement in all aspects of his body.
As for Xu Siyao, Qin Yichen could sense that he was a martial artist with a water attribute. He had only consumed some water attribute spirit herbs to forcefully raise his realm.
Actually, his body constitution hadn't reached the great success of the Spirit realm yet.
How could Qin Yichen be afraid of someone like him?
With his constitution at the level of great success in the spirit realm and his cultivation at the level of minor success, he wouldn't be afraid even if he were to face a true great success in the spirit realm.
What's more, it was just a bottle of medicine.
"You!"
Xu Siyao did not expect Qin Yichen to not be afraid of him. He was so angry that his face turned green.
"Liang Hongshen, you've really disappointed me. You actually brought a trash who only knows how to talk back to participate in the Martial Arts Conference!"
Xu Yuanming, who was standing beside him, could not stand it any longer. He immediately mocked Liang Hongshen.
"Heh!"
Liang Hongshen was about to say something when a clamor sounded from the back of the crowd.
"The seventh princess is here …"
Following this shout, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
It was the seventh princess of the duchy, Xia Ziling!
There were many versions of Xia Ziling's story in Twilight City. Some said that the seventh princess was the child of the king and a commoner's daughter. Others said that the king had taken a liking to a palace maid after drinking. In short, the seventh princess, Xia Ziling, was the only princess in the imperial family with no background whatsoever.
One had to know that the lowest level of women who could marry into the imperial family was the daughter of a count. Those noble consorts all had enormous power behind them.
Xia Ziling was the only exception.
Originally, a daughter of the king like Xia Ziling had no right to be conferred the title of princess of a duchy. However, Xia Ziling had inherited the martial spirit of the imperial family … the Kunsky Tiger Flood Dragon.
The imperial family relied on this martial spirit to intimidate everyone and make all the major families submit to them.
However, the martial spirit of the Kunsky Tiger Flood Dragon was extremely difficult to pass down. For example, in this generation of the imperial family, there were no more than five people who possessed this martial spirit.
One had to know that the imperial family had developed to this day. There were definitely tens of thousands of people in the imperial family.
However, only five of them possessed the martial spirit of the Kunsky Tiger Flood Dragon.
Therefore, it was natural for Xia Ziling to be given the title of princess.
No matter how she was born, possessing the martial spirit of the Kunsky Tiger Flood Dragon meant that she was destined to be extraordinary in the future. Of course, even so, she was still ostracized by the other princesses and princes in the imperial family.
Moreover, this seventh princess was only sixteen years old!
Therefore, her appearance here surprised many people.
"The martial spirit of the Kunsky Tiger Flood Dragon, sixteen years old at the Profound Spiritual Realm …"
Qin Yichen's eyes narrowed slightly as his gaze fell on the seventh princess.
A beauty.
A peerless beauty of unparalleled beauty.
She was so beautiful that it almost seemed unreal. Her oval face was as white as mutton-fat jade, her eyebrows were curved, her eyes were like black gems, her nose was high, her lips were red, and her teeth were sparkling. Her hair was as smooth as silk.
She was tall and lithe. When she walked over, she was like a swaying white lotus. Her skin was lustrous and her entire being was perfect. Even her long dress couldn't hide her hazy curves.
The group's breathing became heavy as they looked at her quietly. When such an unparalleled beauty approached, she really did seem like a fairy who'd walked out of a painting.
This was without a doubt a beautiful scene.
However, as a princess, Xia Ziling walked alone. There were no attendants or maids by her side. Therefore, the delicate aura of the other princesses and princes couldn't be found on her.
"Your Highness the Seventh Princess."
The surrounding nobles all bowed to her. When the young men looked at her, their gazes were filled with passion.
"Mm."
A cold voice came from Xia Ziling's mouth. She walked straight to the registration area of the Martial Arts Conference.
"Is the Seventh Princess going to participate in the Martial Arts Conference?"
Immediately, the crowd was in an uproar as discussions broke out everywhere.
Of course, no one dared to underestimate Xia Ziling. Although she was still at the Profound Spiritual Realm, she had the martial spirit of the Kunsky Tiger Flood Dragon, which was respected and feared by all.
With her Martial Soul, she could even fight against a Martial King Realm expert.
If she participated in the Martial Arts Conference, it would undoubtedly bring about a lot of changes.
However, from the fact that Xia Ziling wanted to participate in the Martial Arts Conference, it could be seen that she was indeed not well-liked in the imperial family. Even if she was a princess, she only had the title of a princess.
This was because the members of the imperial family had special permission to enter the Twilight Tower.
