Chapter 1901 - 1906: Who Was Told to Stop?
Facing him was the Third Prince, who had considerable strength, and his demon beast was a lion, at mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm. After all, they were royalty, so they had a lot of resources to capture more powerful demon beasts.
"I’ll go first; the rest of you stand down." Lin Fei said, stepping onto the stage while the others watched from the sidelines, waiting for the result, uncertain what kind of excitement Lin Fei’s match would bring.
The Third Prince looked at Lin Fei and said, "You’re bringing shame upon yourself." Lin Fei was indifferent to such remarks, "Your Highness, shall we begin?"
"Of course, I hope you won’t disappoint me!" The Third Prince replied, then commanded the lion to charge at Lin Fei, simultaneously using martial arts techniques to attack him, showing no mercy with a double blow.
But Lin Fei wasn’t afraid of the opponent. Facing such a powerful attack, Lin Fei unleashed nine Demon Swords and charged at the lion and the prince. Confronted with Lin Fei’s fierce assault, the prince was flustered but still unafraid, already holding a defensive weapon.
At that moment, the lion demon beast shattered Lin Fei’s attack with a paw and charged toward Lin Fei.
Without a word, Lin Fei punched towards the enormous lion.
By now, the prince had already used his shield to block Lin Fei’s attack, keeping it outside his defenses.
When he moved the shield away, he was shocked to find that Lin Fei had already punched the prince’s demon beast off the stage.
"This... how is this possible!" The Third Prince was stunned, unable to believe Lin Fei was so strong.
"Late-stage Nascent Soul Realm, not bad, son, come back." The King, Lai Tianhu, spoke, instructing his son to return quickly, fearing Lin Fei might harm him.
The Third Prince snorted coldly, glared angrily at Lin Fei, then turned to walk away.
Lin Fei smiled, hands behind his back, and walked off stage.
At this moment, another participant from the royal family came onstage. This time, Li Kuang volunteered and charged forward. Despite his nervousness, faced with the opponent’s taunts, Li Kuang roared with rage, eventually after dozens of rounds, his ape knocked the opponent off the stage, achieving another victory!
There was a sense of astonishment in the crowd, surprised that these people were so formidable, it was inconceivable. Comparing what they initially saw with the current action, it was like watching adults fight children; the earlier moves were flowery and now it was real combat with punches landing solidly!
At this time, another descendant of a marquis stepped up. Yuren took the stage; his victory was also impressive. Incredibly, all three won, shaming the noble families of the Kingdom of Aolai, who began to look at Lin Fei and the others with hostile intent.
At last, Lin Fei and his companions reached the finals. No one expected them to reach this stage; it was truly surprising, suggesting the Empire almost overlooked some talented individuals.
However, the stronger Lin Fei and his friends became, the more intense the nobles’ hatred grew, eventually ordering the strongest trio to defeat Lin Fei and Li Kuang.
With many cheering Lin Fei and the others, Lin Fei paid little attention to the shouts as Li Kuang stepped forward first, followed by Yuren, and Lin Fei remained as the final ace.
What was this contest about? Lin Fei thought it was like the Tianji horse racing strategy, feeling impatient, yet ultimately, Yuren lost, Li Kuang won; Lin Fei faced the eldest prince, who was equally strong at late-stage Nascent Soul Realm. For some reason, this strength hadn’t led to his selection by Qianhuang Peak — perhaps due to age?
Perhaps, since Qianhuang Peak selected based on age and talent, if unsuitable, they rejected the person. Although the prince seemed young, his true age was far beyond what anyone expected.
Facing the eldest prince, Lin Fei said, "Make your move."
"Are you confident you’ll defeat me?" the eldest prince asked.
Lin Fei nodded, "Of course, or I wouldn’t be so rash. Hurry up, I’m pressed for time."
Hearing this, the eldest prince laughed, ordered his giant wolf to rush at Lin Fei.
But at that moment, Lin Fei’s two small wolves were unwilling, so Lin Fei let them demonstrate their abilities without restraint.
The two small wolves expanded, suddenly transforming into a massive White Wolf on the enormous stage, dwarfing the original dog like an adult beside a child, and Lin Fei said nothing more.
Once the big White Wolf appeared, the small wolf—even though powerful—faced the pressure of two White Wolves, paralyzing it, unable to attack Lin Fei, revealing the contest’s outcome.
"I can’t believe it! Wild wolf, attack!"
Surprised that his opponent had such formidable beasts, and two of them no less, the eldest prince grew furious, commanding the wild wolf to attack Lin Fei.
But the wild wolf hesitated, ultimately forced to pounce on Lin Fei, while the White Wolf struck the wild wolf, smashing it flat, completely dead; its Nascent Soul was devoured by the White Wolf. Then, the two White Wolves turned back into pups, accompanying Lin Fei.
Momentarily stunned by this, the eldest prince charged at Lin Fei, who condensed a Demon Sword imbued with Power of Silent Annihilation, brimming with destructive force.
The King immediately shouted, "Stop!"
Yet, the eldest prince continued, trying to kill Lin Fei, only to be pierced through the chest by Lin Fei’s Silent Annihilation Sword.
"Impudent!"
Unbelievably furious that Lin Fei dared to strike, the Emperor unleashed a palm that gathered sky-high Primordial Energy into a giant hand, ready to crush Lin Fei.
Facing such a mighty attack, at least True Body Realm Third Transition, Lin Fei couldn’t counter, but at this moment, Hou Qitian intervened, leaping skyward, shattering the descending hand with a punch, then stood by Lin Fei’s side, staring at the King.
The King checked on the eldest prince’s injuries, finding them severe, called the Imperial Physician to treat him, furiously looking at Lin Fei, demanding, "Why did you strike so hard just now? Didn’t I tell you to stop?!"
Lin Fei smiled, "Did you ask me to stop?"
