The communication skills of the royal people are generally very strong, and the two of them heard that Han Chen was reluctant to say it explicitly, so they did not ask the bottom line. Han Chen was not only free from embarrassment, but the estrangement and worries in his heart gradually weakened.

After a short time, everyone came to a palatial palace, most of the entourages stayed outside the door, and only a few personal maids entered with Han Chen.

This is not a state banquet hall, but the emperor's private banquet hall, which was originally used by the emperor to entertain foreign envoys or close ministers in a daily place, to meet Han Chen here, both solemn and sincere, but also cordial, it can be seen that the emperor is still very attentive.

Because this private banquet was in a hurry, the catering did not have time to be in place, and only a few fruits were placed on the table, which was slightly shabby.

The wide dining table is dozens of meters long, and on the main seat at the end of the dining table, a slightly chubby middle-aged man is sitting.

The middle-aged man was wearing a simple and precious bright yellow dress, his eyes were like willow leaves, slender and long, under the straight and straight nose bridge, there was a short black and thick beard, a square face was soft and majestic, and that natural grace and nobility could only be precipitated after the accumulation of several generations.

There is no doubt that that person is the current emperor of the empire, Huang Honglie.

The three of them walked up to Huang Honglie, knelt down on one knee, and greeted them one by one: "Your Majesty!"

"Mingzhu has seen his father!"

"Xiaomin Han Chen, see Your Majesty!"

Huang Honglie was in a good mood and laughed loudly: "Hurry up, hurry up, it's all a family, don't be so outside." ”

The crowd stood up. Huang Honglie stared at Han Chen for a long time before nodding and exclaiming: "You are the triple crown champion of the Young Alchemist Competition, Chen Silan? Very good, very good, sure enough, you are young and promising, I just heard that you defeated Qianhe by force?

Han Chen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has a good reputation. ”

Huang Honglie's words changed: "But...... I've heard all the rumors about you. As the king of a country, seeing is believing, would you like to open my eyes?"

The emperor asked you if you were willing, in fact, you were willing to be willing, and if you were not willing, you were willing to be willing. Prince Ming was unhappy in his heart, but as a member of the imperial family, he could also understand the emperor's psychology. The emperor must be afraid that someone will replace him indiscriminately, and then form a party for personal gain and threaten his own status, and if he does not verify his identity, how can this monarch feel at ease?

Huang Qingshuang said dissatisfiedly: "Father, the horse has just fought against Qianhe, and he has lost a lot of strength, and if you want to try him at this time, the child feels that it is unfair." ”

Huang Honglie waved his hand: "The person I am looking for will not be as impertinent as your Qianhe." Also, isn't he an alchemist? This time he doesn't try force, he tries mana, so it's irrelevant, right?"

"But ......"

Huang Qingshuang wanted to help Han Chen speak, but Han Chen gave her a comforting look, and then bowed his hand to the emperor and said: "Since Your Majesty is so Yaxing, Han Chen is better than obeying his fate if he is respectful." ”

Han Chen should be so simple, firstly, the emperor's order cannot be violated, and he will definitely not be able to hide, and secondly, he also wants to win the emperor's trust, strengthen his influence in the imperial family, and increase his bargaining chips for the future fight against shamanism.

"Okay!" Huang Honglie praised: "I like this confidence and refreshment!"

With a tap of his palms, an alchemist dressed in a dark green robe walked in through the side door.

Four-star senior alchemist!

The alchemist, who was in his mid-thirties, was handsome, his robes were sewn with military ranks, and he was clearly a soldier who had joined the army.

"Senior brother?" Huang Qingshuang frowned. She immediately objected to the emperor: "Father, when the horse participated in the alchemist competition, he was only in the realm of a three-star intermediate alchemist, even if he was extremely talented, during this period of cultivation, it was already considered a top for him to be promoted to a three-star high-level alchemist, but you let a four-star high-level alchemist try him." The gap between the two sides is so big, what is there to try?"

The emperor said lightly: "I am trying the potential, not the current strength. Besides, you, the senior brother, have also made his family propose to the royal family several times, right? I have to see who is more worthy of trust!"

Huang Qingshuang was furious: "I don't like him!"

The emperor said coldly: "It's up to you whether you like it or not...... glanced at Han Chen, and continued: "It's up to him to decide!"

Such utilitarian words are said so bluntly, Huang Qingshuang is angry and sad, but he is powerless to refute it. Han Chen was also unhappy.

The alchemist came to them and bowed gracefully. The status of the four-star high-level alchemist was already very high, and all four of them, including the emperor, bowed slightly to him and saluted back.

The Emperor introduced Han Chen: "This is one of the best disciples of the National Teacher, Master Shi Jin, he is a battle mage, and he is the main member of our Royal Golden Armor Army. ”

He pointed at Han Chen again and introduced to Shi Jin: "This is the most talented young talent in the history of the empire, Chen Silan, who won the first triple crown in history in the previous alchemist competition, I believe you have also heard of it." ”

Shi Jindao: "The name of the Triple Crown is like thunder. ”

The emperor smiled and said, "You were also the champion of the battle match of the Young Alchemist Contest back then, so you, a senior, should learn spells from your juniors." Restrained his smile and said with some seriousness: "Remember, it's just a discussion, and it's time to stop." Chen Silan is the concubine of Princess Mingzhu, who hurts people and looks bad on her face. ”

As soon as the word "horse" entered his ears, Shi Jin's face changed suddenly.

Changing his humble style, Shi Jin looked at Han Chen with a cold face and said: "Some people, in order to make temporary profits, do not hesitate to use extraordinary means to improve their strength when they are young. Although he was able to win everyone's attention early, it ruined his cultivation for a lifetime. He bent down slightly towards the emperor and sneered, "Your Majesty and Your Highness the Princess, don't be deceived by those who are eager for quick success. ”

The implication is that Han Chen can have such achievements at this age, relying on the bad methods of pulling out seedlings, his growth path has been exhausted in advance, and there is no future in the future.

The emperor smiled and said nothing, and Princess Mingzhu was displeased.

Han Chen said: "I heard that there are two kinds of talents, one is innate talent, and the other is acquired talent. Some people are inherently gifted, and if they practice for one day, they can achieve ten days of merit from others. But because of this, such people rely more and more on their own talents, and their vision and pattern are also limited to their own talents. ”

"On the other hand, some people were dull in their early years and had to study everywhere and work hard. His knowledge became more and more extensive, and the amount of knowledge accumulated more and more, until one day the quantitative change produced a qualitative change, and the touch bypass made him enlightened, and the frustration and experience made him have an epiphany, and his cultivation was out of control from then on, and then reached the peak. This is the so-called water can carry a boat and capsize a boat. ”

The meaning couldn't be more obvious. Han Chen is not only satirizing Shi Jin, but also refuting him: temporary success or failure is not enough, what people pursue should be the last and greatest achievement in their lives.

Shi Jin sneered: "What you said is very reasonable, are you saying it to yourself?"

Han Chen said: "I have experienced the days of having talent and not talent, and I am reminding some self-righteous people. ”

Everyone didn't know about the dark time when Han Chen was crippled, and Shi Jin sneered: "What kind of days are talented and untalented? ”

"People who are shallow in their knowledge naturally think that others are all gibberish. ”

"If you're talking to me, then I'm willing to bow down. ”

Han Chen didn't say anything more, and stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture.

Shi Jin snorted angrily, turned around and floated to the performance stage at the other end of the hall, and then hooked his fingers towards Han Chen.

The performance stage is not big, only two or three hundred meters in radius, and it is the place where the emperor usually watches performances. Because performances sometimes arrange martial arts competitions or alchemy, the stage is particularly sturdy, and a thick energy wall is arranged around the perimeter.

Han Chen jumped up without hesitation, Shi Jin snapped his fingers, and the attendant opened the protective wall, so that the aftermath of the fight between the two would not affect the outside of the platform.

Huang Qingshuang was worried, and couldn't help asking, "Father said that it depends on the potential of the horse, and there must be an explanation, right?"

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Let's look at his current cultivation first, if he can really reach the three-star high-level alchemist realm, it means that he is indeed talented." Secondly, let's look at his performance, see if he can withstand Shi Jin's three waves of attacks like he did against Chizuru, if he can, it means that he has a solid foundation and does not use the kind of quick-fix cultivation method that destroys his future. ”

"Next three waves of attacks?" Huang Qingshuang took the case: "He has a dual cultivation of law and martial arts, and no matter whether he can break through to a three-star senior alchemist in such a short period of time, even if he can, the two of them are a whole big realm, the spell competition is not like martial arts, and it can be made up by physical strength, it is a pure skill competition, how can you fight so far? Father, your test is too unfair!"

The emperor didn't care about Huang Qingshuang's attitude, he still said nonchalantly: "Didn't I hear that he would fight in that or something?" I really want to see and learn, his martial arts skills are so good, he will definitely be able to find a chance to use it, and it should be no problem to block three or five times at that time, right?"

Speaking of this, the emperor slapped his forehead and said loudly to Han Chen: "By the way, you can only use spells in this fight, you can't use martial arts!"

"Father!" Huang Qingshuang was anxious. The Emperor interrupted her with a wave of his hand.

Han Chen nodded. Shi Jin muttered strangely, "You can't use martial arts, what kind of stalk is this?" Obviously, he didn't know that Han Chen was a martial artist.

Shi Jin didn't bother to investigate, and when he saw that the protective wall had been formed, he put on a posture and shouted lightly: "Boy, the spell has no eyes, you have to be careful." ”

The spiritual light between the eyebrows flashed, and the cultivation of the four-star high-level alchemist was suddenly fully displayed! That imposing posture did not show the slightest mercy at all, where is this to be discussed? It is obvious that he is desperate!

"Father, he ......" Huang Qingshuang was furious. Prince Ming also sank his face.
