Next up to enter the martial arena to test their strength is Zhang Ruochen.

  " Ninth brother, youd better be careful, or youll have your waist crushed by the giant stone." The eighth prince standing beside him smiled coldly.

  Outside the royal martial arts arena, a warrior sneered and said: "The ninth prince participating in the year-end assessment is simply humiliating himself. Three months is too short a time, its hard to even complete the marrow washing and pulse washing, let alone lift a 100-jin stone plate, which is almost impossible."

  "The young lady was only six years old when she lifted a 100-jin stone disc, and the ninth prince is now sixteen years old. Without guessing, its clear that he wont be able to lift the stone disc. This is truly embarrassing."

  "Its better for him not to participate in the year-end assessment than to lose face."

  Zhang Ruochen completely ignored those rumors and walked calmly towards the martial arena with an undisturbed expression.

  Zhang Ruochen walked over just as Lin Xiangshan was walking back.

  At a distance of five paces, both stopped at the same time and stared at each other.

  Lin Xuans eyes deeply stared at Zhang Ruochen, shaking her head and sighing: "Eldest brother, you shouldnt have participated in the year-end assessment. With your qualifications, even if you completed the marrow washing and pulse clearing, its impossible for you to lift a 100-jin heavy stone plate. By doing this, not only will you humiliate yourself, but also bring shame to Princess Lin and the royal family. Why must you do this?"

  Zhang Ruochen furrowed his brow and said, "Xie Xiang, you are indeed excellent and have a good natural talent, but you cant belittle others to the point of being worthless."

  Lin Xuan stared at Zhang Ruochen, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes. "Why cant you listen to advice? For someone like you, living an ordinary life is the best choice. Why do you insist on practicing martial arts? Youre not suited for this path."

  Originally, considering their good relationship as playmates since childhood, she advised Zhang Ruochen not to humiliate himself.

  But Zhang Ruochen was too stubborn and didnt even look at his own weight.

  For someone who is so obstinate and refuses to listen to advice, Lin Xuan had nothing to say, she just thought Zhang Ruochen was too foolish.

  "Take care of yourself." Lin Xuanxiang raised her snow-white chin and walked out of the martial arts arena.

  Two people brushed past each other.

  Lin Xianger walked out of the martial arts arena, receiving the admiration and praise of countless young martial artists, surrounding her in the center like a multitude of stars supporting the moon.

  At just fifteen years old, she was able to lift a thousand-jin stone disc and throw it out fifteen meters away. Such strength made many young martial artists who were slightly older than her feel inferior.

  Moreover, she is so beautiful and one of the four young beauties of Yunwu County, destined to be a heavenly proud daughter who attracts attention from all.

  "Congratulations to the Lin family, another genius has been born in the Lin family. With Miss Lins talent, Im afraid that among the young generation of Wang City, there are only a few who can compare with her." A famous martial artist from Wang City praised.

  The host of the Wang family smiled and said: "Its said that Miss Lin is about to get engaged to Seventh Prince, what a perfect match!"

  Lin Fengxian listened to everyones flattery and naturally felt very comfortable.

  Of course, there were also many people who fixed their eyes on Zhang Ruochen standing in the martial arena, and most of them had a playful smile on their faces.

  All families with some connections to the royal family have a certain understanding of this frail and sickly Ninth Prince.

  The exceptionally talented Seventh Prince and the completely useless Ninth Prince are like two extremes, making it hard to believe theyre both sons of the Duke of Yunwu. The gap between them is too huge, ones a dragon, the others an insect.

  It can be said that the Ninth Prince participating in the year-end assessment is simply a joke in everyones eyes.

  Of course, Qin Ya sitting outside the Wang clans martial arts arena didnt think so. Seeing Zhang Ruochen walk into the arena, she finally opened her beautiful eyes as if she had just woken up from a good sleep.

  "Its really making me look forward to it." She recently flashed a charming smile.

  Under the gaze of the crowd, Zhang Ruochen walked up to the front of the first stone platform and stopped in his tracks.

  At this time, outside the martial arts arena, a burst of laughter erupted.

  Already sixteen years old, yet can only choose the first stone disc to test ones strength. Is there anything more ridiculous than this?

  Apart from the eighth prince, who had a mocking smile on his face, the other princes and princesses all looked ashen. They thought that Zhang Ruochen was humiliating the royal family, making them lose face as well.

  Zhang Ruochen lingered beside the first stone slab for a moment before continuing on to the second, and then made his way towards the third.

  "What is he doing?" The crowd expressed incomprehension.

  Zhang Ruochen walked up to the tenth stone slab and finally stopped in his tracks.

  "What he wants to lift the tenth stone slab is too arrogant. If Im not mistaken, he only activated his Divine Martial Mark three months ago."

  The Eighth Prince snorted and said, "With his talent, even if he practiced for thirty years, it would be impossible for him to lift the Thousand Jin Stone Plate. How foolish."

  Lin Xuanxuan also stared at Zhang Ruochen standing beside the tenth stone plate and shook her head lightly.

  When everyones eyes were fixed on Zhang Ruochens body.

  Boom

  Zhang Ruochen stepped on the ground with one foot, and a surge of true energy was transmitted from his sole to the ground. The air wave, with his sole as the center, spread in all directions.

  Under the vibration of the true energy, that thousand-jin-heavy stone plate immediately flew up more than one meter high.

  Zhang Ruochen stretched out one hand, and with a smooth motion, caught the huge stone disc with a diameter of three meters. Using five fingers as support, it was like holding a plate, and he easily lifted the disc over his head.

  As soon as this scene was seen, the entire Wang clan martial arts arena immediately fell silent, and many people even forgot to breathe.

  Zhang Ruochens body stood straight as a spear, effortlessly holding the thousand-jin heavy stone plate as if it were weightless.

  "How is this possible?" The face of the Eighth King turned pale and his lips trembled.

  Those princes and county masters were also stunned, their minds completely blank, and they didnt dare to believe that the young man standing in the arena was the Ninth Prince.

  Just as everyone was still in shock, Zhang Ruochen suddenly punched the bottom of the stone plate.

  Boom

  A thousand-jin heavy stone disc was struck and flew up, flying a full five meters high.

  The stone disc then fell at an even faster speed.

  Under the impact of speed, combined with the weight of the stone disc itself, that force is absolutely far more than a thousand catties.

  However, Zhang Ruochen once again steadily caught the stone tray. Afterwards, he single-handedly supported the stone tray, extremely steady and slow, and gently put it back on the ground.

  Boom

  The entire royal martial arts arena erupted in an uproar

  Everyone couldnt believe what they were seeing, the move Zhang Ruochen had just revealed was absolutely more shocking than Lin Xiangxians display of power earlier.

  He was only sixteen years old and had activated the Divine Martial Mark just three months ago.

  Something that was fundamentally impossible happened right before everyones eyes.
