Every time before the Spirit Battle Tournament, the Yan Country would host a banquet to entertain the disciples from the various academies. But this year's banquet was an exception. The Spirit Battle Tournament this year was being hosted by the Crown Prince, Lei Chen, and the banquet was hosted by Lei Chen, being held within the Crown Prince's Residence to entertain over a thousand disciples from the various academies participating in the tournament.
Night had just fallen and the youths from the various academies in the Imperial Capital had gathered together to make their way towards the Crown Prince's Residence. Every single one of them had dressed themselves up meticulously, trying to present themselves in their best state before the Crown Prince, to give themselves a chance to be discovered and groomed. Groups of youths were dressed in the uniforms of their respective academies, brimming with youthfulness, as they walked towards the Crown Prince's Residence under the moonlight.
The guards outside the Crown Prince's Residence were lined up on both sides of the main doors. They held long spears in their hands, their faces stern and stern, looking highly imposing.
The Crown Prince's Residence occupied a large area and was able to accommodate so many people. The interior of the Residence had been meticulously decorated, making it look exceptionally grand and magnificent. The youths who stepped into the Crown Prince's Residence for the first time all stared wide-eyed at the flourishing scene before them. The dazzling lights dazzled the inexperienced eyes of the youths, igniting their hearts with endless anticipation.
The servants within the Residence led the disciples from the various academies to their respective seats. The entire banquet was held in a large square and all the youths were seated in four corners, arranged in a rectangular formation, with a large space left open in the middle. The Crown Prince sat at the head of the table, smiling and nodding at the youths who entered the Residence.
"I've seen extravagance, but I've never seen such extravagance. How much does the Crown Prince's Residence cost? The entire Crown Prince's Residence, just the area alone, is almost as big as the Phoenix Academy. " Qiao Chu said as he stared at the Crown Prince's Residence decorated with lanterns and colourful banners, his gaze sweeping over the mahogany tables and chairs. Every single table was adorned with utensils made from fine jade, embedded with various coloured gems. Even the unknowledgeable Qiao Chu could see that just the utensils used in the Crown Prince's Residence for the banquet were worth a fortune!
"The Yan Country was the first country to be established and they have the most influence. The country is wealthy and its people are strong. Even the commoners are much wealthier than the citizens of other countries, let alone the Crown Prince." Fei Yan said with a shrug of his shoulders.
The Fire Country was really rich to the point of overflowing with oil, and they had a powerful military force. Although they did not have a ferocious force like the Rui Lin Army, but the number of soldiers they had was extremely large, and no other country could match them.
Compared to Lei Chen, the Crown Prince's Residence that Mo Qian Yuan had stayed in could only be described as shabby. Although they were both Crown Princes, the circumstances the two of them were living in were worlds apart. Of course, the Qi Kingdom and the Fire Country could not be compared in any way.
"Are my esteemed guests from the Zephyr Academy?" A servant greeted with a smile.
Jun Wu Xie nodded slightly.
The servant said, "Everyone, please move to the banquet. It will start soon. This lowly one will lead everyone there."
They had arrived rather late and the banquet was about to start. The thousand man banquet occupied a large area and quite a number of youths were already seated. The row of seats on the side where Lei Chen was seated was already filled with quite a number of people and some of the youths were dressed in the uniform of the Dragon Slayers Academy and the War Banner Academy.
"Looks like the seating arrangements here are rather impressive." Fan Zhuo said with a smile as he swept his gaze over the crowd. All the youths from the more reputable academies were seated closer to Lei Chen and the youths from the less well-known academies were all seated at the back row.
