"This matter has to start from an earlier time. The prince's voice became old and weak, compared to the majestic and serious tone before. It's like the difference between a soldier and a dying old man, which is staggering.

"Lin Hong and I, the one you said should have become the new duke, are two generations of elites in the family," the prince slowly narrated, "Lin Hong is a generation younger than me, and like Yi'er No, Miss Yimeng, he calls me uncle. At first, I didn't know Lin Hong very well, but I had heard that there was a very talented clansman in the younger generation, and some people even compared me with him. However, we are only dividing the lineage, and no matter how outstanding we are, we cannot be cultivated like the heirs of the lineage. ”

"At the beginning, my evaluation was not inferior to anyone else except the late Young Master Lin Long, and he was also called a genius! But our family was assigned the task of doing business by the lineage, so my father asked me to give up the pursuit of martial arts and learn the way of business. The prince's voice was a little excited, "But when I occasionally helped the family to do business in other cities, I met my master, and he was willing to teach me martial arts secretly! And the martial arts skills he taught were not inferior to those secret books and classics in our Lin family, and even surpassed them, and they were even more sophisticated! But later I learned that he was actually a big man in the palace, and what he taught me was also martial arts that could only be learned by the royal family!"

"But even if it is a branch, we regard ourselves as the Lin family, and the Lin family and the Zhao family are the relationship that everyone in the Golden Empire knows about. So even if the palace dignitaries secretly taught me the secret methods of the royal family, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. I worked very hard, and in just two or three years, I broke through one after another, and finally reached the transcendent level!" The prince's eyes glowed, as if he had returned to that time, "At that time, I seemed to see that I would shine on the road of martial arts, but at that time, I was just thinking about how to use this power to serve the clan and add glory to my family!"

Within two or three years, it has made breakthroughs one after another and reached the extraordinary level. And according to him, this incident was more than ten years ago, so this person really deserves the name of a genius. In these five continents, there are not many transcendental-level powerhouses, but most of them are cultivators who are already over half a hundred years old. Although this prince looked quite old, Dorlanke could see that he was about the same age as Lin Long, and at most he was in his forties.

However, in the past ten years, there has been no progress but also regression, which is absolutely abnormal.

"I originally thought that I could use my own strength to break the shackles of the lineage division. Because there is also a rule in the Lin clan, anyone with outstanding strength in the branch can join the ranks of the lineage and obtain some rights for their own family!"

This is indeed true, just like Lin Tian who met him in Seoul before, if he didn't guess correctly, after he reached the sainthood level, he should have asked his family to obtain the right to govern a city, but the autonomy of this city still belongs to the Lin clan from the perspective of the state.

"Moreover, after that incident happened in the Golden Continent, the entire continent became panicked, and our family's business didn't know why, and the above suddenly ordered us to cancel all the original plans, and everyone in the Lin family's branch should not go far in the family. But this just happened to follow my wishes, and I used this time to practice martial arts hard, wanting to improve my cultivation as soon as possible!"

"Not long ago, I heard that the young duke of the clan, Young Master Lin Long, was missing, and the Lin family and the Zhao family went out with all their might, but they couldn't find it. In order to prolong the heir, Duke Lin had to marry again and give birth to a daughter, and I felt that the opportunity had come. The prince said, "The original Young Master Lin Long was talented, and it is said that he was still the apprentice of the Sword Venerable, the legendary Brave Lord. Such a noble and dazzling existence, I can't touch it, but this girl who has just been born is different, when I heard that I was born with a disability, I thought that if I had enough strength to become one of the guards of this young lady, then my fate would be changed!"

Hearing the prince's narration, Dorranke smiled undeniably, but did not interject to interrupt him.

"But that's when the accident happened. The prince's voice suddenly changed tone, as if he remembered some expressions that he didn't want to recall, "That day, after I consolidated the transcendental realm, I secretly went to the master again, wanting to continue studying. But that day, the master did not come to see me secretly, but brought some members of the secret army in the palace!"

"My intuition told me that something must be wrong, and sure enough, the master suddenly said to me, because not only did the Lin clan not have a qualified next patriarch, but even the Duke of Lin of this generation was missing. The entire clan has no leader, so just let His Majesty designate an excellent person to replace him as the next patriarch of the clan."

This makes me unbelievable, but I didn't doubt it at that time, after all, the relationship between the Zhao Lin family is not impossible. "At that time, the master told me that His Majesty meant to choose between me and Lin Hong, but he preferred the younger Lin Hong to me. ”

"How can I say it, I was just thinking about being the bodyguard of Miss Zongmai, but I seemed to have ambitions at that moment, and I wanted to become the new Duke for a while!

"And that's how I fell into the trap they had designed for me. The prince smiled bitterly, "The master told me that strength determines everything, although Lin Hong is young, but because he just caught up with the turmoil, he did not go to learn business but has been practicing martial arts hard, resulting in strength not losing to me, so his majesty's evaluation is higher." It is only possible if I surpass him. ”

"And quickly, before the lineage can make a decision, I must have the most powerful strength to hand it to His Majesty as my own explanation. However, at that time, the master suddenly told me that the method he taught me was actually a kind of quick-track exercise, and although the cultivation speed was extremely fast, the purity of the fighting qi was extremely poor. It was ridiculously difficult to break through again, and I was stupid at the time, and I panicked and asked if there was any solution. ”

"The master said that he had already prepared it for me, and then asked the group of people from the secret army to bring out a strange jar of medicinal powder and give it to me. It is said that this is a special medicine that purifies the fighting spirit. It is a good thing that only the royal heirs can use in the empire, and His Majesty also has expectations for me, so he gave this to me and in order to dispel the doubts I may have, he also specially emphasized that His Majesty also gave Lin Hong another good thing. The two of us have to give each other the best results in the time limit to decide who can become the real Duke of Lin!"

"In this world, there is no such thing as a quick vindictive cultivation. Dorranke suddenly spoke, I don't know if he said it to the prince, or to Kate, "Dou Qi is a special power that has been researched by human beings and only belongs to weak human beings, this power has no boundaries but has limited potential, even if there is really any quick way, it will not be called a breakthrough sequelae."

"That's it, that jar of special medicine, that's the key. The prince nodded and sighed.
