Qiu!
Raising its head, the Viridescent Eagle exuded an air of arrogance.
"Viridescent Eagle?" Prince Fei Xuan recognized the beast.
Even though he wasn't a beast tamer, he had some understanding of savage beasts. Even though the Viridescent Eagle was a powerful aerial savage beast, due to its limited talent, it was only at Tongxuan realm pinnacle.
Prince Fei Xuan was also a Tongxuan realm pinnacle cultivator, so it wasn't difficult for him to defeat it.
As a prince, not only did he possess superior strength, more importantly, he had learned the best battle techniques. It would be embarrassing if he couldn't even defeat a savage beast with brute force.
Chuckling lightly, Prince Fei Xuan turned to Princess Mo Yu and asked, "Your Highness, do you have any say in this? As long as I defeat this Viridescent Eagle, you will agree to my marriage? "
"Un!" Princess Mo Yu nodded. "However, if you lose, I'll have to ask you to leave immediately!"
"Of course. If I can't even defeat your tamed beast, what right do I have to marry Your Highness!" Prince Fei Xuan's eyes glowed.
Princess Mo Yu was a renowned genius in the region, and on top of that, she was a beauty. There were many princes who wished to catch a glimpse of her beauty.
Prince Fei Xuan didn't harbor much hope when he came to propose the marriage. He didn't expect the other party to raise such a request.
If it was anyone else, he wouldn't have been too confident. However, dealing with a Tongxuan realm pinnacle savage beast wasn't a problem at all.
"Your Highness..."
Envoy Ran Mu frowned. He turned to look at the Viridescent Eagle.
Unlike humans, savage beasts relied on their physical bodies. Even though he had reached Zongshi realm pinnacle, he wasn't able to gauge the other party's strength.
Based on his experience, the Viridescent Eagle wouldn't exceed Tongxuan realm pinnacle, so it shouldn't be a match for Prince Fei Xuan. However... Princess Mo Yu's confidence left him uncertain.
"It's just a Viridescent Eagle, it doesn't matter!" Prince Fei Xuan waved his hands casually.
"Let's begin then!"
Chuckling lightly, Princess Mo Yu waved her hands. With a sharp cry, the Viridescent Eagle charged toward Prince Fei Xuan and swept its massive wings downward.
Its thick feathers were as tough as steel. Coupled with its immense strength, even before the Viridescent Eagle could reach Prince Fei Xuan, it seemed as if a raging gale had been whipped up in the hall. Under the powerful impact, cracks began to appear on the sturdy stone floor.
"Half-Zongshi? This... "
Feeling the strength behind the other party's wings, the confident Prince Fei Xuan nearly fell to the ground.
Isn't the adult Viridescent Eagle only at Tongxuan realm pinnacle? How could he be a half-step Grandmaster? Furthermore, looking at his proficiency in using his strength, he had probably advanced for quite some time.
Although there was only a slight difference between the two levels, the difference in combat power was huge.
"I've been tricked!"
At this moment, no matter how foolish Prince Fei Xuan was, it was clear that he had been duped by the other party. Frustrated, Prince Fei Xuan stomped on the ground and fled.
Hu!
However, before Zhang Xuan could get far, the massive body of the Viridescent Eagle had already leaped into the air, and its metallic claws were already slashing toward Zhang Xuan.
Not only was this fellow powerful, its reflexes were also much faster than ordinary savage beasts. Upon seeing that its attack had missed, it immediately switched to another move.
The Viridescent Eagle had two unique skills: Wing Sweep and Steel Claw Tear.
His first attack missed, so he used the force from the sweep of his wings to soar into the air.
Hiss!
Whimpers sounded in the air. Before Prince Fei Xuan could escape, the metallic claw struck him squarely in his chest. With a resounding crash, he was sent flying, and a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.
"You've lost!"
With a wave of her hands, the Viridescent Eagle flew back. Mo Yu turned to look at the prince and said impassively.
"I …"
Struggling to his feet, Prince Fei Xuan's face was ashen.
He thought that given his strength, it would be easy for him to deal with the Viridescent Eagle. Never in his dreams did he expect that he would be severely injured before he could even withstand a single blow.
This fellow was way too bizarre!
It seemed as though it knew how to fight just like a human.
"You cheated … Due to the limitations of its bloodline, the Viridescent Eagle is only at Tongxuan realm pinnacle. How could this one possess a Half-Zongshi?"
After consuming a recovery pill, Prince Fei Xuan gritted his teeth and recovered slightly.
"A loss is a loss! Why? As a prince, do you intend to go back on your words? "Princess Mo Yu asked calmly.
This Viridescent Eagle was the one that Zhang Xuan tamed using the Beast Pummeling Taming Method back in the Beast Hall. Its bloodline was purified by the Heaven's Path zhenqi, allowing it to reach Half-Zongshi.
Not only so, the Heaven's Path zhenqi was incomparably pure. The mind of a savage beast that had its bloodline purified by it would become clearer and more intelligent.
This was precisely the reason why it was able to change its moves swiftly during the battle and suppress Fei Xuan easily.
Back then, back in the Red Lotus City, as Zhang Xuan had a Half-Zhizun tamed beast, this fellow was dispensable. Thus, he tossed it to Mo Yu and had her ride it back to the capital.
Even though she didn't sign a contract with it, it still possessed a Trust Level of 30. As such, it was naturally obedient to her words.
"I …" Prince Fei Xuan's face reddened. He wanted to refute her, but he couldn't find the words to say.
It was just a moment ago that he declared confidently that he would give up on the marriage proposal as long as he defeated the other party. Yet, he couldn't even withstand two blows from the other party. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't bring himself to say anything.
Just as he was conflicted over how he should reply, a eunuch walked in from outside.
"Your Majesty, Tianwu Academy's Liu laoshi requests an audience!"
"Oh? Liu laoshi, invite him in! "
Mo Tianxue's eyes lit up.
"Yes!" The eunuch walked out.
"Hmph!" Recalling that infuriating fellow, Mo Yu's face darkened.
Ever since she was young, she had always been surrounded by others. This was the first time … Oh, the second time she was treated in such a manner.
Seeing his daughter's expression, Mo Tianxue shook his head with a smile, "Xiao Yu, you must pay attention to your actions. Build a good relationship with Liu laoshi and don't be so willful! He's the best candidate that father thinks highly of! "
"Best candidate?"
Prince Fei Xuan and Envoy Ran Mu glanced at one another warily.
It was no wonder why Emperor Tianxue had been giving him such an ambiguous reply. It seemed like he had found a suitable candidate in Tianwu Royal City.
"Hmph, I would like to see how incredible he is for Emperor Tianxue to act in such a manner …"
Narrowing his eyes, Prince Fei Xuan felt hostility toward this Liu laoshi whom he had never met before.
Envoy Ran Mu also had a grim expression on his face.
They had just arrived at Tianwu Royal City, so they weren't aware of Liu laoshi's incredible feat of solving nineteen difficult illnesses. Even so, he couldn't help but feel curious about how Emperor Tianxue regarded him so highly.
Turning his head toward the entrance of the hall, he saw a young man following behind a eunuch.
"Tongxuan realm primary stage?"
Glancing at one another, Envoy Ran Mu and Prince Fei Xuan frowned simultaneously.
They were wondering what kind of talented young man he was, but to think that he would be so weak, only at Tongxuan realm primary stage.
Such a person could be considered as powerful in a small place like Tianxuan Kingdom, but in a Tier 1 Kingdom, he could only be considered as ordinary.
"Your Majesty!"
Walking into the main hall, the young man known as Liu laoshi casually clasped his fist.
"Ah?"
Seeing his actions, the duo was even more confused.
Under normal circumstances, one would have to bow to the emperor. Even if it wasn't the etiquette of a subordinate, one would still have to bow to a junior. Yet, this fellow … actually bowed as an equal?
A twenty-year-old Tongxuan realm primary stage fellow actually bowed as an equal to the emperor, a Zongshi realm pinnacle cultivator?
What was his identity?
"Tianwu Royal City, the Three Great Clans, and countless nobles, dukes, and officials … I've never heard of any influential figure going by the surname of Liu?"
Envoy Ran Mu was even more incredulous.
Given how he was able to investigate the illness of Tianwu Kingdom's guardian beast, it went without saying that he was well aware of the various powers in the capital. However, he had never heard of any power going by the surname of Liu.
Even Mingshi Tang had never heard of a master teacher going by the surname of Liu.
Besides, if he was really a master teacher, he wouldn't have addressed the other party as Liu laoshi.
"Liu laoshi, you sure made me wait for a long time. I thought that you would arrive yesterday, but to think that you would only arrive today!"
Mo Tianxue smiled bitterly.
The other party was a genius physician, as well as the guild leader of the Physician Guild. Even though he was the emperor, he didn't have the right to rush him. Thus, he could only wait helplessly. Just that, he didn't expect the wait to last for more than a day.
"I was busy yesterday!"
Zhang Xuan nodded. Turning to Mo Tianxue, he said, "Yesterday, I said that I can treat your illness once. If anyone is sick, call him out!"
After which, he scanned the surroundings, and his gaze fell on Prince Fei Xuan and Envoy Ran Mu.
Under his gaze, Prince Fei Xuan's eyebrows twitched.
He was already displeased with this fellow, and now that he heard Liu laoshi saying that he was sick, he nearly exploded.
"Liu laoshi, is it?"
His face darkened, and he walked forward.
Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
"I am the Second Prince of Kunqian Kingdom, Fei Xuan. I'm here today to ask for Princess Mo Yu's hand in marriage..."
He intentionally emphasized the words' ask for her hand in marriage ', hoping to see the other party's reaction. However, the other party remained expressionless, as though he didn't care about it at all.
His eyebrows shot up, and he harrumphed, "Since His Majesty and Princess Mo Yu think highly of you, do you dare to compete with me?"
"Think highly of me?"
Zhang Xuan was bewildered.
You ask for your hand in marriage while I treat my illness. Is there something wrong with this fellow's head? Why does he want to compete with me?
Besides, what does' think highly of me 'mean?
Just as Zhang Xuan was perplexed, a thought suddenly flashed across his mind and he came to a realization.
Didn't Mo Tianxue invite him over to treat his illness?
Given how this fellow was speaking so incoherently, he was probably the so-called patient...
Un, mental illness should be more difficult to treat than physical illness. This was a good opportunity for him to make use of this opportunity to extort two more spirit stones from the other party...
The reason why he took the initiative to treat the other party was for spirit stones. Even if the other party wasn't severely ill, he had to intentionally make it sound as though his illness was severe. Otherwise, how could he possibly receive money from the other party?
However, judging from the other party's nonsensical words, the other party should be severely ill. Extorting two to three spirit stones from the other party was definitely worth it!
Upon understanding all of this, Zhang Xuan glanced at Prince Fei Xuan in satisfaction and nodded his head. Then, he turned to Mo Tianxue and said, "Your Majesty, this patient is severely ill! His head is sick, and it's considered a mental illness. It's much more troublesome than ordinary treatment, and it might require a lot of effort... "
"Pu..."
Thinking that the other party had agreed to the duel, Prince Fei Xuan spurted a mouthful of blood upon hearing those words. He nearly fainted on the spot.
You are the one who is sick, your entire family is sick...
