"Greetings to Your Highness, Second Prince!"
Nie Zihao and An Qingping hurriedly bowed when they saw the Second Prince.
The Second Prince waved his hand and personally helped them up. He then smiled and said, "Both of you are famous heaven's prides in the Canglan Continent. You don't even need to kneel when you see my royal father, so why do you need to be so courteous to me? Let's just treat each other as friends!"
Yun Fan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. This Second Prince's method of winning people's hearts was quite capable.
Sure enough, Nie Zihao and An Qingping were overjoyed when they heard this. They were even more respectful and courteous to the Second Prince, as if they had met a wise master and would only serve the Second Prince.
At this moment, the Second Prince's gaze shifted from the two of them and landed on Yun Fan. He chuckled and said, "I presume this must be Young Master Yun Fan?"
"Greetings to Your Highness. Just call me Yun Fan." Yun Fan also returned the greeting.
The Second Prince patted Yun Fan's shoulder and said, "You're welcome. Everyone knows that you defeated Zhang Xian and the black-clothed martial artists from the Prime Minister's Residence in front of the Emerald Divine Inn yesterday. You're really amazing!"
"You flatter me, Second Prince."
Yun Fan only replied indifferently. He naturally knew that this was only a compliment from the other party. He would not think highly of him because of this matter.
After all, he had previously inquired from Li Zixu. Zhang Xian could not be considered a top heaven's pride in the entire Canglan Dynasty, and those black-clothed martial artists were also not elite experts from the Prime Minister's Residence.
It could be said that this kind of battle record was not very important in the eyes of a true heaven's pride.
"Haha, is that all? Looks like this kid is not that scary."
Nie Zihao sneered.
An Qingping looked at the former and said, "It looks like the competition later will depend on the battle between Brother Proud and me!"
"Haha, when the time comes, I hope Brother Qingping will not be stingy with your guidance."
"Of course."
The conversation between the two naturally could not escape the Second Prince's ears. However, he did not say anything after hearing it.
In fact, he didn't have much hope for Yun Fan. He only invited him to participate in today's competition out of careful consideration.
Naturally, he didn't want the same thing to happen to him.
However, no matter how one looked at it, Yun Fan did not seem to have the strength to compete with the two of them. After all, the difference in background between the two of them was like heaven and earth.
Nie Zihao and An Qingping were both disciples of great clans of the Azure Wave Dynasty, and the nurturing they received since they were young was not something that Yun Fan could compare to.
For a young man from an ordinary mid-level continent to be able to reach this point was already quite good.
The Second Prince had taken a liking to Yun Fan because of his tenacity and potential. If he could form a good relationship with Yun Fan this time, wouldn't it be inevitable that Yun Fan would rise up in the future?
However, while the second prince was thinking in this way, the beautiful woman beside him was looking at Yun Fan with an interested expression.
She was very curious at this moment. From the eyes of this young man named Yun Fan, she could not sense any panic. He was calm and composed, and his actions were really different from the rest.
"Zhu Jun, what are you looking at?"
The Second Prince looked at the beautiful woman beside him with a smile. He also saw that she seemed to be interested in Yun Fan.
"Nothing …"
Cao Zhujun shook her head gently and did not say much. "It's getting late, Your Highness. Let's start early and select the last candidate. We still have to plan for the competition together."
"Zhu Jun is right."
The Second Prince seemed to agree with the former's words. He looked at the former with a faintly discernible adoration in his eyes.
"In that case, the three of you please get ready. We'll start the competition immediately. Oh yes, if you have any special skills, you can also report them. This will help in the final selection."
The Second Prince added.
He knew that the competition organized by the Emperor this time was not as simple as a Challenge Tournament. It was similar to a competition to achieve a certain goal. The team that achieved the goal first would win. During this period, not only did they have to rely on combat strength, but they also had to rely on various abilities, such as setting up formations, refining medicine, making talismans, and so on.
Of course, he did not know the specific details, but in general, that was right.
Therefore, a special-type talent would also be a huge boost to the team. If they could have a grandmaster-level subprofession master as a follower, he would be as useful as a top-level fighter. In some special situations, he might even be more important than a prodigy with high combat power!
On their side, Cao Zhujun's combat strength could be ranked in the top three among the younger generation of prodigies. In addition to himself, it could be said that any team could go head to head with them. What they lacked now was a master with a secondary profession.
In fact, the Second Prince had already decided in his heart that between Nie Zihao and An Qingping, he would choose whoever contributed more to their secondary professions. As for combat strength, as long as there was not much difference, it did not matter much.
"In that case, I, Nie Zihao, will not be polite."
He looked at An Qingping provocatively, then cupped his fists and said to the Second Prince, "I'm a third-step quasi-Nirvanic State cultivator, and I'm also a Grandmaster Alchemist!"
Nie Zihao's face was overflowing with pride. Although there were many prodigies in the Canglan Dynasty, it was rare to see someone as talented as him in alchemy.
The Second Prince nodded slightly, a smile blooming on his face, showing a look of approval.
An Qingping was not to be outdone. He also cupped his fists and said, "Your Royal Highness, I'm also a third-step quasi-Nirvanic State cultivator, and … I'm also a Grandmaster Talisman Master!"
The Second Prince laughed heartily and nodded his head in satisfaction. "It's really a fortunate thing to be able to see two young Grandmasters today!"
He and Cao Zhujun looked at each other, and the latter nodded slightly. Obviously, she was very satisfied with the qualifications reported by the first two.
After a moment of silence, the Second Prince looked at Yun Fan again. Although it was a little unnecessary, he did not want to offend Yun Fan and leave a good impression on him. He asked patiently, "Young Master Yun Fan, can you introduce yourself?"
Following his words, Cao Zhujun, Nie Zihao, and An Qingping's eyes all focused on Yun Fan.
Nie Zihao and An Qingping exchanged glances, their eyes filled with unconcealable disdain. They naturally felt that how could a mere firefly dare to compete for glory in front of them, the bright moon?
Cao Zhujun also waited quietly, wanting to hear Yun Fan's answer.
Yun Fan thought for a moment, then said, "Your Royal Highness, I'm not talented, but I've done some research in alchemy and talisman making, and have now reached the Divine Grade."
As soon as he said this, the whole place fell silent.
