Jin Lu's gaze swept across the crowd before landing on the Eighth Prince, Gu Tian Yi.
"Eighth Prince, I heard that you have recruited many top talents. I would like to learn from them!" Jin Lu cupped his fists towards Gu Tian Yi and said in a low voice.
Between the Eighth Prince Gu Tian Yi and the Third Prince Gu Yuanji, Jin Lu chose the weaker Gu Tian Yi.
He didn't directly challenge Gu Tian Yi's supporters. Instead, he first expressed his intentions to Gu Tian Yi.
This way, firstly, he would appear to be above board, and secondly, he would show everyone that the people he was going to challenge were all the Eighth Prince's people.
Under such circumstances, if the Eighth Prince's people were all defeated by him, it would be very humiliating.
When Gu Tian Yi heard this, he sneered in his heart. He could guess what the other party was thinking. Just as he was about to speak, the First Prince spoke first.
"Jin Lu, your strength is not worth mentioning. You are still far from being able to spar with the geniuses under Eighth Brother!" The First Prince shook his head as though he was reprimanding Jin Lu.
"Your Highness, I know that my abilities are not worth mentioning. However, I would still like to learn from you. I hope that Your Highness will agree!" Jin Lu said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the First Prince pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, you can ask the geniuses under Eighth Brother to test your own strength."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Jin Lu cupped his fists towards the First Prince.
When the geniuses from the other 12 superpowers saw this, they suddenly realized that Jin Lu, who had extraordinary fighting strength, was a subordinate of the First Prince, Gu Cangtian.
And now, Gu Cangtian's people wanted to challenge the Eighth Prince, Gu Tian Yi.
Many people understood in their hearts that the three princes were fighting each other openly and covertly. Although they said they were asking for advice, they were actually competing in the dark!
When Gu Tian Yi saw Gu Cangtian and Jin Lu echoing each other, he sneered in his heart.
With a single glance, he could see through the intentions of the two of them. The two of them were deliberately raising him up and belittling him. If all of his people were to be defeated later, his face would fall miserably.
However, Gu Tian Yi did not care, because he had a subordinate who was unrivalled in the same realm as him.
In a same-rank battle, not to mention Jin Lu, even Gu Cangtian would be no match for him.
At this point, Jin Lu looked at Gu Tian Yi again and said in a deep voice, "Eighth Prince, I wonder which genius under you is willing to spar with me?"
On the surface, Jin Lu ignored the First Prince's reprimand and insisted on sparring with the Eighth Prince's men. This was a provocation.
This piqued the interest of many. Gu Tian Yi should not reject the provocation, right?
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Gu Tian Yi nodded his head slightly. Then, he turned his head and looked at the geniuses he had brought along. In a loud voice, he said, "Who among you is willing to spar with Jin Lu? Decide!"
"Yes! Your Highness! " The ten geniuses immediately responded. They understood that although Gu Tian Yi allowed them to make their own decisions, in reality, he wanted them to accept the challenge.
Since the other party had come to provoke them, how could they not accept the challenge?
Immediately, a genius stepped onto the stage.
When Jin Lu saw this, a mocking look flashed across his eyes. Everything was going as he had expected and the show was about to begin. He would definitely satisfy the First Prince.
Everyone who attended the banquet was interested. This could be a contest between the two princes.
The Second Princess wore a helpless look on her face. However, she did not stop them. In the past few years, the three princes had been fighting each other openly and covertly.
Su Mo glanced at Gu Tian Yi and then at the geniuses that he had brought along. In his heart, he thought that he probably did not need to fight!
Gu Tian Yi must have powerful subordinates under him.
The young man who stepped onto the stage was handsome like a young master. However, his cultivation rank was not low. He had also reached the Rank 6 Martial Honorable Realm.
"Jin Lu, let me test your strength!" The handsome young man stepped onto the stage and looked at Jin Lu with a solemn face.
At that point, the geniuses who had previously left the stage threw the jade pendant that had suppressed their cultivation rank towards the handsome young man.
"Shao Yun, I know that you are strong and I will not hold back. If I injure you, please don't take it to heart!" Jin Lu looked at the handsome young man and smiled mockingly.
He was very familiar with the handsome young man. In actual fact, he had some understanding of the geniuses under the Eighth Prince.
He said these words not to be courteous to the handsome young man but to make it clear that if he were to be injured in the upcoming battle, he could only blame himself for being weaker than the Eighth Prince.
"Attack!"
The handsome young man, Shao Yun, put on the jade pendant and his cultivation rank was instantly suppressed. A long whip, as black as ink, appeared in his hand and it was like a poisonous snake.
Seeing this, Jin Lu coldly laughed before he lifted his foot and walked towards Shao Yun.
With each step he took, the aura around Jin Lu's body became stronger and stronger as his entire body grew taller.
"I will defeat you in one blow!"
Jin Lu coldly shouted as he suddenly attacked. He opened his hand and used his finger as a sword to stab out.
In the blink of an eye, the sharp green finger radiance formed into a green short sword and stabbed towards Shao Yun.
This sword was extremely fast and the force behind it was extremely strong. It was close to that of a Rank 3 Martial Honorable.
As the battleground was small, the green short sword instantly appeared in front of Shao Yun.
"Not good!" Shao Yun's heart jumped. The speed and strength of his opponent's attack had exceeded his expectations.
In the blink of an eye, Shao Yun's body hurriedly retreated as he shook his arm. The black long whip in his hand was like a black bolt of lightning as it viciously struck towards the small green sword.
In the blink of an eye, the black long whip struck the small green sword.
Bam!
With a muffled sound, the force exploded and the long whip was immediately repelled. It was unable to stop the small green sword at all.
Psst!
The small green sword instantly pierced through Shao Yun's chest at an indescribable speed. It flew to the edge of the battleground before it slowly dissipated.
Ah!
Shao Yun immediately screamed in pain as blood gushed out from his chest like a fountain, instantly dyeing his front and back red.
Psst!
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out from Shao Yun's mouth and dyed the jade ground red.
The Sword Qi on the small green sword was like a steel knife that wreaked havoc in his body, stirring up his internal organs.
"You … you are so vicious!" Shao Yun was enraged. They were just sparring but Jin Lu had actually used such a heavy blow.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect your strength to be so weak. You can't even withstand a single blow!" Jin Lu shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile.
Although he was apologizing, the expression on his face was not the least bit apologetic.
With that, Jin Lu immediately turned to look at Gu Tian Yi and cupped his fists, saying, "Eighth Prince, I am really sorry. I overestimated Shao Yun's strength and my attack was a little too heavy. As a result, he was slightly injured!"
Gu Tian Yi's face darkened. He naturally knew that Jin Lu had done it on purpose. However, since Jin Lu had already apologized, he could not say anything.
A faint smile appeared in the First Prince's eyes. This was just the beginning, the later part would be even more exciting.
At that moment, everyone wore strange looks on their faces. No one was stupid and they could naturally tell that Jin Lu had done it on purpose.
