As Chen Xiang came over to the middle of the tournament stage, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.
“Surprisingly, he actually dared to come! I heard that the Yao Family will take him away right after he wins the finals.” One man said with a surprise.
“It is said that he has something to do with the disappearance of the Yao Family Elder and their young genius! The Yao Family will probably pin that crime on him as an excuse to deal with him.” Another middle-aged man said.
“He already has so much courage at such young age. Two days before, he faced the Yao Family Elders after massacring Yao Chong! Chen Xiang’s strength is also good and he also dares to fearlessly threaten others regardless of their background.” One teenager said full of envy.
“Of course, in this world, strength has always have been revered! As long you have strength, you can have everything!”
“...”
Listening to the arguments and conversations from the audience, Chen Xiang knew that the Yao Family had deliberately released some information. This gave off the message that they were prepared to deal with the Chen Family, which also signified the start of the war between the two families. This was a very common method, other forces would often release such information to warn and threaten their opponents.
Not far away from the tournament stage, there was a tower. On the top of that tower, there were many luxuriously dressed people residing in a room. Many maids and guards were present around them, from this alone, one could tell that their status was definitely out of the ordinary.
“The Southern Martial Empire’s Emperor is also watching the finals. I heard he is here to boost the morale of his son, and that he has also bought many Imperial Palace Experts. In fact, even all of the Imperial Concubines have come here to watch the finals!”
Chen Xiang’s eyesight was very formidable. Among the people seated in the tower he could see a person wearing the dragon robe *. He had a majestic expression, that middle-aged man with the extraordinary bearing was no doubt the Emperor of the Southern Martial Empire.
For the common populace, the Imperial Power was way above them. But for the powerful families, they were simply not worth mentioning. In the eyes of those families, the Emperor was just someone who manages the Empire, so that it can develop in an orderly fashion. There was not any kind of disarray among the populace, so these families could smoothly gain benefits from the common masses.
The Crown Prince arrived as he flew from that distant tower. He was wearing a fiery red and magnificent dress, displaying the elegant Qing Gong skill he had. Softly, he landed on the tournament stage, his arrival alone caused many girls present to scream out.
Chen Xiang was secretly belittling him in his heart, thinking “Look at you, seeming so imposing. Just wait, I will beat you so hard that even your father, the Emperor, will not recognize you afterwards.”
Song Nanming looked at Chen Xiang with disdain in his eyes, and calmly said, “If you want to relieve yourself from physical suffering, there is still some time.”
Song Nanming knew how strong Chen Xiang was, but Song Nanming was also very confident about his victory.
Chen Xiang, looking at that arrogant and sinister face of Song Nanming, guessed that he definitely had another despicable trick up his sleeve. This time, Chen Xiang was cautious and ready, otherwise he would be on the back foot again.
“Rest assured, I’m very thick skinned. I’m afraid your hand will hurt if you hit me.” Chen Xiang replied, it sounded sarcastic, but what he said was the truth.
“Humph, you don’t know the immensity of the heavens!” Song Nanming coldly snorted. He intentionally raised his voice, making it so that everyone on the whole field could hear it.
Seeing Song Nanming putting on a high and mighty act, Chen Xiang secretly smiled in his heart. If you don’t have necessary strength, everything said and done was all completely useless.
“Start! If someone violates the rules, you can already figure out the consequences!” One old-man wearing a gray robe shouted. He was not a member of the Yao Family but rather one of oldest martial artists. It is said that he was the descendant of the founder of the Martial Art Tournament
.
Song Nanming had already violated the rules before, but there was no evidence, so Chen Xiang could not do anything or point it out.
At the start, Song Nanming faced the audience as he took off his golden red dress. Inside, he was wearing golden tights, and golden boots. It looked as if a wealthy nobleman had appeared on stage.
