C90 Dark Tide

When the carriage was stable, an old man walked out of the carriage. He was the current Grand Master Xu Yi of Cloud Rising Country.

"Disciple greets teacher!"

"All of you greet the Grand Preceptor!"

All of the officials stepped forward to greet him. Grand Master Xu Yi had already become the center of attention. Xu Yi smiled and greeted everyone back.

After that, Xu Yi walked towards Qing Kangping and Chu Tian. Everyone was looking at this scene.

"Third Prince, I am just an ordinary man. I don't know how to differentiate between the strong and the weak. However, I am here to congratulate you on your victory." Xu Yi said.

Many people were shocked when they heard this. Although they had heard that Grand Master Xu Yi and Qing Kangping had a good relationship in private, they didn't expect the Grand Preceptor to express his stance in front of everyone.

This statement had proved that Xu Yi was ready to stand on the Third Prince's side. This meant a lot to them, and many of the civil servants understood it as well.

As for the Crown Prince, who was standing on the other side of the battlefield, he furrowed his brows slightly. Grand Master Xu Yi had completely stood on Qing Kangping's side. If that was the case... The power in Qing Kangping's hand might surpass his, and it would also impact his position as the Crown Prince.

At this moment, another carriage arrived. When the carriage stopped, a man walked out from the carriage. The man was quite young and handsome. He was the prince of Field Sea Country, Kuixing.

This time, the latter was also one of the main characters. Everyone had heard that he was going to marry Qing Lianer. This competition was to test whether Kuixing had such a great talent.

"Prince Kuixing, thank you for coming here personally." Qing Kangping also stepped forward and spoke.

"It doesn't matter. Actually, I also want to see how strong the young geniuses of Cloud Rising Country are." Kuixing said.

Hearing his words, many military officers frowned. The latter was too arrogant, totally not putting the people of Cloud Rising Country in his eyes.

"Then Prince Kuixing, please wait and see." Qing Kangping also said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.

Kuixing then went to the opposite side of the arena and sat down. It seemed that he was recuperating.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Qing Kangping looked over and saw that the person who walked over was none other than the Crown Prince, Qing Zheng.

"Third Brother, I have something to say regarding this competition." Qing Zheng said.

Qing Kangping frowned. It was obvious that this wouldn't be a good thing if Qing Zheng stood out at this moment.

"Big Brother, just say what you want to say." Qing Kangping said.

"Then I'll be frank. This competition is related to the reputation of our Cloud Rising Country. If the person you recommended is not as good as him, it will be a disgrace to our Cloud Rising Country." Qing Zhengdao.

"I have witnessed Chu Tian's strength with my own eyes. Don't tell me Big Brother has other ways?" Qing Kangping's tone was no longer as friendly as before. It was only at this moment that Qing Zheng brought up this point. It was obvious that he was ready to tear his stage apart.

"Of course I believe in your eyes, Third Brother. However, there are a lot of strange people in Cloud Rising Country. Actually, Big Brother Prefecture also has a lot of people. If he is stronger, he will have a higher chance of winning," said Qing Zheng.

At this moment, the man behind Qing Zheng walked out. The Qi coming from the man's body was incomparably powerful. He was now a Divine Ability Stage Late Period warrior, and he had a tall and sturdy body. He was afraid that this man must be very powerful.

"This man is the number one advisor in my mansion, Zha Ha. With his strength, I think he will be able to take part in this competition." Qing Zheng said.

Qing Kangping furrowed his brows. Qing Zhengzheng had brought up the idea of replacing him. If Chu Tian was defeated, it meant that he had no foresight, even if Chu Tian won. It would obviously be against the performance of the competition if he used up a lot of energy before the competition.

"Crown Prince is right. We have never heard of this Chu Tian before. It's not appropriate to hand over the dignity of our Cloud Rising Country to him just like that."

Immediately, someone stood out to support Qing Zheng. Seeing the support of these people, the corner of Qing Zheng's mouth curled up. In this way, he would definitely be able to force Chu Tian to fight with his first advisor.

No matter what, he was the one who took advantage of the situation. Currently, the situation was getting more and more chaotic. Grand Master Xu Yi frowned slightly. Just as he was about to step forward to stop this dispute, Chu Tian had already taken a step forward.

"Crown Prince is right. Indeed, I am the next person who can't represent all the young geniuses of the Cloud Rising Country, but I admit that my strength isn't comparable to that of a boorish man." Chu Tian said.

The veins on Zha Ha's forehead bulged when he heard this. After that, he threw a punch at Chu Tian. The strong wind made it hard for the surrounding people to stand up straight.

A bright light flashed in Qing Zheng's eyes. Chu Tian's action was exactly what he wanted. As long as they fought, even if the person he brought wasn't a match for Chu Tian, he would still be able to waste Chu Tian's energy.

Therefore, he wasn't angry at Zha Ha for attacking him on his own. Instead, he was happy. Just as he was about to watch a wonderful battle, Chu Tian's figure flashed past and appeared behind Zha Ha in the next moment.

At this moment, Zaha was still in the posture of throwing a punch. Immediately after, he fell to the ground in front of everyone's eyes. Qing Zheng was also staring blankly at this scene.

Everyone found it hard to believe that the battle had ended in an instant. They didn't even know how Chu Tian had attacked.

At this moment, Kuixing's eyes lit up on the opposite side of the arena. He looked at Chu Tian with a solemn expression.

"What a fast skill! He didn't waste any time when he attacked. It seems like he is indeed an expert. Could it be that he was the one that attacked that night?" Kuixing thought to himself.

At this moment, Chu Tian looked at Qing Zheng. Qing Zheng's expression was very ugly. He had never thought that the battle would end so easily.

"Crown Prince, I think it's better for you not to be fooled by your appearance the next time you are selecting talents. Many of them are strong on the outside but weak on the inside." Chu Tian said.

Upon hearing Chu Tian's words, Qing Zheng became even angrier. In his heart, he wanted nothing more than to shred Chu Tian into a thousand pieces, but he knew that he couldn't do that.

"Third Brother has really good eyesight. He was able to find a genius like Chu Tian. Big Brother, I'm really ashamed of being inferior to him." Qing Zheng said.

"Big Brother is being too serious. Mr. Chu and I were just lucky." Qing Kangping said with a smile.

At this moment, his heart was filled with joy. Many people had seen this scene. In this first exchange, it was obvious that Qing Kangping had gained the upper hand. Many of them were thinking about whether they should rejoin the team.

Qing Zheng then flicked his sleeves and left. He did not care about his number one advisor at all. He simply let the guards move the latter away from this place. It was obvious that he was annoyed by Zha Ha's incompetence.

"His Majesty has arrived!"

At this moment, with a loud shout, a group of guards led the way and a golden throne slowly arrived. The person in the highest position was the current emperor, Qing Zemin.

Beside him was a woman. She wore a long jade dress and a faint makeup on her face, accentuating the latter's temperament.

At this moment, Qing Lianer was like a completely different person from before. When the latter saw Chu Tian and Qing Kangping, her face revealed a joyful expression. However, because she was following Qing Zemin now, even if the latter was usually rude, he would not dare to act rashly.

After that, Qing Zemin sat on the Dragon Throne that he had prepared earlier. All of the officials were already standing in two rows.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

All of the officials knelt down and saluted. Qing Zemin then made everyone stand up.

"Where are the two contestants for this competition?" Qing Zemin asked.

At this moment, Chu Tian and Kuixing also stood out. Both of them bowed towards Qing Zemin.

"Your Majesty, using this opportunity, I also hope to show my talent in front of you, and use this opportunity to propose a marriage to Princess Qing Lianer." Kuixing said.

"Field Sea Country is a distant neighbor of Cloud Rising Country. If we can make this happen, I would be happy to be the matchmaker." Qing Zemin said.

A look of anxiety appeared in Qing Lianer's eyes. At this moment, she could only look at Chu Tian. Whether or not she could change the marriage would fall on Chu Tian.
