After a while, the ritual music faded away, and the disciples under the high platform also straightened their waists.

However, at this time, they saw a rather unexpected scene.

The high-ranking and majestic crown prince actually stretched out his scissor hand in front of his chest, and the direction that the scissorhand faced was the direction of the team in the Gathering Courtyard.

This made those who saw the scene very puzzled, and some people even began to secretly scold the crown prince for being an idiot.

At this time, a minister of rites next to the crown prince seemed to have noticed this situation, he stood up quietly, and then quietly moved behind the prince, and said in a rather weak voice: "Prince, it is now a public place, and there are foreign representatives present, you must pay attention to your words and deeds." ”

The prince's face changed, and he leaned back slightly and said, "Those old hats, what do you care about them?"

That being said, he finally put the scissorhands back, but he still looked in that direction slyly, as if he was greeting, as if showing off, and like he was being nonsensical funny.

The Minister of Rites wiped the sweat from his forehead slightly with his hand, and said in his heart that this crown prince was really out of tune, but after all, his identity was different, and the prince had already withdrawn his scissor hand, so he didn't say anything more, and sat back in his seat stupidly.

Those foreign envoys in strange costumes were not stupid, and naturally they also discovered the strange behavior of the prince just now, but they did not mean to laugh, but their hearts were furious.

At that time, the Chaoyang Empire swept across the entire Central Plains, and even many city-states in the Mobei region were incorporated into this huge empire.

From this point, we can see the ferocity of the Chaoyang Empire, but fortunately, although it is a clear aggression, the Chaoyang Empire will always find all kinds of excuses and reasons, and the atmosphere before the war can also make them prepared.

However, now the crown prince's behavior is completely confusing to them, which makes them imagine what the outcome will be when the crown prince ascends the throne. At this time, the disciples of the Gathering Spirit Academy are also very different, you must know that although most of them are the children of official eunuchs, but because this prince is really rare for a thousand years, not only strange but also withdrawn, even some ministers in the court have never seen it, so none of them have met the prince.

"Well, who is this prince greeting?"

"That's right, any of you know the prince, and if you have time, introduce me to him!"

The empire is such a picture, as long as it can be related to the royal car, it means a bright future, so you can not have a high reputation, or even shameless.

"Hey, Xu Chen, do you think this prince has some kind of illness?"

Pan An pursed his thick lips, like a barefoot doctor, "Oh! No, you said that this prince wouldn't be a beautiful woman who fell in love with our Gathering Spiritual Academy, right?

Pan An was talking about various conjectures while waiting for Xu Chen to talk.

It's just that Xu Chen didn't know how to answer, he didn't expect that he would meet so many dignitaries after coming to the capital from such a remote place, I don't know if this is luck or misfortune.

After a while, the ceremony officially began, first with the speech of the acting head Lin Lingsu, then the speech of the prince of the empire, and then the stage of grouping.

The grouping was decided by the crown prince himself by drawing lots, which represented the supremacy of the imperial power and showed that the imperial power had never lost its grip on the Dushan Sect.

Of course, before Xuanwei Zhenren is out of the customs, the royal family can still be so obscene for a while.

Xu Chen clenched his fists, and said in his heart that he had an undercover agent among them, and it was this undercover agent who drew lots personally, so don't draw yourself to be the first to appear.

However, when the lottery results came out, Xu Chen stared at Chu Yang on the high platform with red eyes, and his expression seemed to have eaten the other party's heart.

The six people were first in the knockout round of two and two, and then the three winners were in a round-robin match, which made Xu Chen very annoyed that he was among the people who played against him.

"This pit!"

Xu Chen couldn't help but scold.

Pan An next to him didn't know why, and was still looking left and right to find where the pit was.

However, it has been so that no one can change it.

In fact, what annoyed Xu Chen the most was that he met the biggest hit this time, Ning Ningning, in the first game.

Legend has it that he was the only one who reached the fourth realm in this selection, and this person also had a relationship with Xu Chen, of course, it was not very pleasant at that time.

Soon, in the shouts of the Five Dragons Courtyard, in the silent state of the Gathering Courtyard, Xu Chen and Ning Ningning appeared in the center of the square, and the two looked at each other, so they were not embarrassed.

Ning Ningning smiled slightly, as if expressing her surprise, "I didn't expect it, it's really a coincidence, last time I said that we would have a meeting later, but I didn't expect to meet again so soon." ”

"Oh! yes!"

Xu Chen is not such an impolite person, since the other party is not hostile at this time, he will respond normally.

However, at the beginning of the next sentence, a smell of gunpowder came out, Ning Ningning looked at Xu Chen, shook his head and said: "Xu Chen! I want to negotiate a deal with you, and you also know that you will definitely lose this time, so I hope you don't work too hard, this is good for both of us." ”

Xu Chen's face sank, "What do you mean?"

Ning Ningning laughed and said softly: "Don't you understand this?, that is to say, I hope that I don't waste too much cultivation on inconsequential competitions, I believe you know, I have now reached the fourth realm, and it is impossible for you to defeat me, if the two of us fight hard, it will not be beneficial to anyone, you will definitely be seriously injured, and I am a waste of cultivation, and there will be a lot more variables in the next competition, and the Drizzle Pavilion is really important to me." ”

At this time, Xu Chen understood what the other party meant, before this began, the other party had already begun to despise himself, and no one could stand it.

Even if Xu Chen's cultivation is really low, it's not easy to say it so bluntly, right?

"I think you're mistaken!"

Xu Chen said calmly, "I'm not a businessman, and I don't know how to do business, so I'm determined." Also, you said that the Drizzle Pavilion is very important to you, but I also want to tell you that the six of us in the Drizzle Pavilion are very important to the disciples of the Dushan Sect. ”

After listening to Xu Chen's reply, Ning Ningning shook her head helplessly, "Then don't blame me for being rude, there are a lot of uncertainties in the game, such as a momentary miss......"

Xu Chen had no expression, but he was not without an attitude, he raised his hand calmly, "Please...... Don't show mercy!"

At this moment, Ning Ningning's anger had slowly risen, in these three courtyards, he had not seen anyone who could really argue with him, Xu Chen's sentence just now, "Don't show mercy to your subordinates", it was obviously a provocation and an insult.

He raised his right hand and tightly grasped the bronze hilt of the sword on his shoulder, then smiled coldly at Xu Chen, and after softly saying "please", he drew his long sword directly.

As soon as the sword was unsheathed, it indicated that the battle was about to begin, and the entire square instantly boiled, and all kinds of cheers and shouts resounded throughout the sky.

"Ning Ningning, come on! Ning Ningning, come on!"

However, after listening to it for a long time, he found that almost no one was shouting Xu Chen's name, Xu Chen smiled bitterly, and gently pulled out the black sword that had just arrived from his waist.

The encouragement of others was not that important to him, especially the fellows from the Gathering Courtyard, so he didn't feel any embarrassment.

However, the next moment, he didn't think so, it turned out that he unintentionally swept the direction of the Gathering Spiritual Academy, but he didn't think about it, the disciples of the Gathering Spiritual Courtyard were not silent, they were also shouting, but the shouting was the same name as the disciples of the Five Dragons Academy.

"You hate me so much?"

Xu Chen's sadness and anger rose spontaneously.

For many people, there is no suspense in this competition, the strength is right there, and there is no shortcut to the way of cultivation.

At this time, I saw Ning Ning Ning's long sword leaning downward, and a strong aura spread out from the body and slowly released it outside the body, the aura was pure and strong, and there was no sense of far-fetchedness.

This is the fourth realm, Yuanhua.

The cheers of the disciples below stopped abruptly at this time, they had all heard that this Ning Ning Ning had already reached the fourth realm, but that was still different from seeing it with their own eyes.

Not only did they see the common aura fluctuations from Ning Ningning's body, they also saw the aura unique to a Yuan Transformation Realm cultivator.

Everyone understands that the reason why Ning Ningning wants to show his strongest cultivation as soon as he comes up at this time is to make the other party secretly submit without a fight, so that he can save the physical strength and cultivation consumed by entanglement.

Looking at Xu Chen, he was completely like a spectator, and the black sword that he had finally bought looked like a useless burning stick from a distance, which was simply incomparable.

Those who didn't know Xu Chen secretly felt pity for Xu Chen, and of course, there were some helpless misfortunes.

Just as everyone was expressing their opinions in their hearts, Ning Ningning's right hand was lightly raised, and the long sword that was diagonally downward instantly slashed upward, and a white phantom flew straight towards Xu Chen.

As the white phantom flew out, there was a strong vibration in the air between him and Xu Chen, and the air squeezed by the phantom made a slight sound.

At this time, even Xu Chen felt that his face was violently blown by the air, and this sword aura was fierce and weird, without the slightest hint of softness.

Fortunately, although this sword qi is extremely fierce, the speed is not as fast as imagined, just when this sword qi has come to Xu Chen's chest, he turned to the side violently, and the sword qi flew through the placket of his clothes, and disappeared not far away.

Yes, this is a dismount, Ning Ningning wants to warn Xu Chen in this way, don't know the depths.

Who would have thought, the next moment, Xu Chen actually laughed, so natural, so casual.

The black short sword slowly raised, and a faint light slowly overflowed, not very strong, but full of murderous intent.
