"In the middle stage of Xuanji Realm, a martial artist is indeed not to be underestimated. Moreover, among the martial artists in the middle stage of Xuanji Realm, the Third Prince should still be considered one of the weaker ones." Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.

  Zhang Ruochen would transmit part of the fists power into the ground through his bones and meridians every time he received a punch from Third Prince.

  So even if the third prince could explode with a hundred oxens strength, he would still be unable to injure Zhang Ruochen.

  Its fortunate that it was Zhang Ruochen; if it were any other powerful warrior who had achieved the Great Perfection of the Yellow Extreme, the Third Prince would only need one punch to kill him.

  "The Third Prince is just a mediocre person, but his cultivation is still very strong. It seems that Zhang Ruochen is going to lose." Lin Xianshan said.

  Lin Chenyu shook his head, holding a completely different view, saying: "Zhang Ruochens cultivation is much stronger than I imagined, and the Third Prince cant handle him."

  "How could Zhang Ruochen be beaten back and not even have the strength to fight back?" Lin Xuanxuan was somewhat puzzled.

  Lin Chenyu stretched out an index finger and pointed it at the ground, saying: "Take a closer look at where Zhang Ruochen stepped on."

  Lin Xian looked back and saw that every time Zhang Ruochen took a step, the stone slab on the ground would slightly sink in, forming a shallow footprint. If one didnt observe carefully, they wouldnt notice it at all.

  "He unloaded all of the three princes powers onto the ground." Lin Xuan was slightly startled and asked, "How did he do that?"

  "He has mastered the control of his power to an unparalleled level. Even if the Third Prince is stronger, he cant even hurt him. Its truly amazing. If it werent for that idiot Third Prince testing us, we wouldnt have known Zhang Ruochens true strength."

  "If you want to go to the black market and hire a killer, it seems that you need to offer twice as much silver coins in order to be completely safe."

  Lin Chenyus mouth corners revealed a faint smile.

  Present, except for Lin Chenyu, only General Hoss, who had reached the extreme state of the earth, could see Zhang Ruochens true strength, and he couldnt help but nod his head, secretly thinking that he was indeed a martial arts prodigy, a hero emerging in his youth.

  The Ninth Princess was very worried about Zhang Ruochen and said: "Ninth Brother, your cultivation is not as good as Third Brothers, dont try to match brute force with him. Receive the sword."

  The Ninth Princess threw the sword in her hand towards Zhang Ruochen.

  Zhang Ruochen originally wanted to continue fighting with the Third Prince in order to temper his palm technique.

  Since Jiugun Zhuang threw his sword over, he naturally caught it and said: "In that case, lets end this ahead of schedule."

  "Whoosh"

  Zhang Ruochen grasped the hilt of his sword and drew out a dazzling flash of light, tracing a beautiful arc in the air.

  With one swing of his sword, the sharp tip pointed at the neck of the Third Prince.

  With just one sword, the three princes were subdued.

  The third princes fist stopped dead in mid-air, his entire body not daring to move a single inch, afraid that the slightest movement would cause the sword blade to slash across his neck.

  Everyone in the martial arts arena was stunned and shocked beyond measure.

  Obviously, the Third Prince had always been in control, forcing the Ninth Prince to retreat repeatedly. Why did he suddenly lose?

  "Brother Jiu, he must have always been holding back for Brother San. Otherwise, with Brother Jius strength, he would have defeated Brother San long ago." The young mistress stood with her hands behind her back, her eyes wide with a look of admiration.

  The other princes and dukes also suddenly realized that it wasnt that the Ninth Prince couldnt beat the Third Prince, but rather that the Ninth Prince had been letting the Third Prince win all along.

  "The Ninth Prince is indeed a martial arts prodigy, able to defeat a mid-stage Wuxian at the Huangji Boundarys Great Perfection. If he were to break through to the Xuanji Boundary, that would be even more formidable."

  "It is said that the extreme power of Huang Jis boundary is one hundred oxen, and it is unknown whether the Ninth Prince has reached that legendary extreme power"

  "Even if there isnt, its probably not far off."

  Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, the third prince became even more ashamed and angry.

  Originally wanted to defeat the Ninth Prince, seeking a sense of accomplishment. Unexpectedly, he was instead subdued by a single sword.

  This time, he lost even more face.

  "I refuse to accept it, Ninth Brother. Lets have another match." The Third Prince felt that he had been careless earlier and that was why he lost to Zhang Ruo Chens sword.

  "No need to compare anymore, does it really matter who loses and who wins?"

  Zhang Ruochen finished speaking and left behind the stunned Third Prince, walking towards Jiugunzhu to return her sword.

  " Ninth brother, why didnt you tell me in advance that you could win against Third Brother? You got me worried for nothing all this time." The Ninth Princess glared at Zhang Ruo Chen with some resentment.

  "Theres no such thing as a sure-win battle in this world." Zhang Ruo Chen smiled and shook his head.

  Lin Xuan saw Zhang Ruochen and Jiu Junzhu being intimate, she felt very displeased in her heart. Holding the Xinghui ancient sword, she walked over and said calmly: "Jiu Junzhu, Ive heard that you have reached the realm of the sword follows the heart. Im itching to try my skills and would like to exchange sword moves with you. What do you think?"

  The Ninth Princess looked at Lin Xuaner with a hint of battle intent, saying: "Alright, Ive long wanted to have another match with you. Since were already at the Royal Clans Martial Arena, lets settle this once and for all."

  Jiugun Princess and Lin Xiangxian were both known as the Twin Beauties of Wangcheng. However, during the year-end assessment, Jiugun Princess was defeated by Lin Xiangxians sword, which left her feeling disgruntled and eager to regain her pride.

  "Listen to the sea by the green water."

  The nine masters of the county launched a proactive attack in the past. As soon as they drew their swords, they rolled up a large wave of sword waves, one after another, sweeping towards Lin Xuans seat.

  " Splash "

  The sword waves actually made a sound like seawater hitting the shore, rocks piercing through the air, and huge waves crashing against the shore, just like real sea waves.

  After the Ninth Princess reached the initial stage of Sword Following Heart, her swordsmanship also reached another height. Compared to the end-of-year assessment, the subtlety of her swordsmanship had increased by at least more than double.

  Lin Xuan Xiang simply stood in place, motionless, her red lips sparkling and translucent, revealing a hint of a scornful smile.

  Whoosh

  She thrust out one sword, a strong icy sword aura was emitted from the sword tip, breaking all the sword moves cast by Jiugun Zhu.

  "Let go"

  Lin Xuans sword struck the wrist of Jiuzhous master with a light "ding" sound.

  Jiuguns wrist had an extra blood mark, her five fingers lost their strength, and the sword in her hand flew out, clanging to the ground.

  Jiuguns wrist was left with a blood-colored mark, and she retreated more than ten steps back, a wave of pain spreading throughout her body. She gritted her teeth in some annoyance and said: "You"

  Lin Xuans slender figure lightly withdrew the Starlight Sword, looking elegant and composed. She let out a sigh: "The Ninth Princess isnt called the Heavens Proud Daughter for nothing. How can she not even grasp a sword steadily? The gap between us is truly getting bigger and bigger. Alas."

  "Lin Xuanxiang, you deliberately humiliated me, the Ninth Princess." The Ninth Princesss face turned red with shame and embarrassment.

  She was originally a peerless beauty of heaven, equal in fame to Lin Suo, but she was defeated by the others single sword strike, and naturally suffered a great blow.

  "I dont dare to, I didnt expect the county masters swordsmanship to be so poor." Lin Xian said with a smile.

  Zhang Ruochen picked up the sword that had fallen to the ground and walked over to Jiuzhous side, saying: "Lin Xianshan, your cultivation has already reached the Great Extreme Realm of the Yellow Extreme Stage, one stage higher than Ninth Sister. Even if you defeat Ninth Sister, how can it be said that you are better than her? Youre too naive."

  Upon hearing this, Lin Xiangs eyes sank, and she said: "You dare to say that Im naive, but everyone can see clearly that I defeated the Ninth Princess with just one sword. With the Ninth Princess strength, she wasnt even worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as me."

  Lin Xuans snow-white chin was raised high, just like a proud white swan.

  The Ninth Princess couldnt bear the sight of Lin Xiangxians appearance, but she herself was actually no match for her. She felt extremely stifled in her heart and was so annoyed that her eyes were slightly red.

  Zhang Ruochen stared at Lin Xiang, saying: "If thats the case, then lets have another match a month later. If you can still defeat Jiu Jie a month later, Ill apologize for what I said earlier."

  Upon hearing Zhang Ruochens words, Jiugunzhu suddenly lifted her head and shook it at Zhang Ruochen.

  What if she loses to Lin Xianshan again after a month? What can be done? Must the ninth brother really admit defeat and apologize to that little scoundrel Lin Xianshan?

  Lin Xuanxi heard Zhang Ruochens words and was overjoyed, immediately agreeing, saying: "Good, Zhang Ruochen, you said it yourself. A martial arts prodigy apologizing to me, Im really looking forward to it."

  Zhang Ruochen said: "If you lose, you must apologize to Jiu Jie in front of everyone."

  "I promise you." Lin Xianshuang had absolute confidence in herself and agreed without hesitation.

  At the end of the year assessment, Lin Xian was severely humiliated by Zhang Ruochen and harbored deep resentment towards him.

  If it were a month later, she would defeat the Nine Prefectures Lord and definitely wouldnt let Zhang Ruochen off so easily.

  Apology

  Zhang Ruochen, youre thinking too simply.

  She suddenly realized that humiliating Zhang Ruochen was more exciting for her than killing him.

  Lin Xuan and Lin Chenyu then left the Wang Clans Martial Hall.

  Lin Chenyu walked and said: "Zhang Ruochen is not a simple role, since he dared to speak out, he must have some confidence. Ji Xiang, youd better be more careful."

  "Brother, youre worrying too much. With the Yuanqi medicine liquid you brought back from Yun Tai Zongs residence, my cultivation has made rapid progress. One month later, Ill definitely be able to reach the peak of the Great Extreme Realm. By then, the gap between me and Jiugun Zhu will only become even greater." Lin Xuan said.

  Lin Chenyu nodded and said, "With the help of the Qi-gathering medicine liquid, your cultivation can indeed be rapidly improved in a short period of time. Work hard at your practice and strive to reach the Great Perfection of the Yellow Extreme Realm as soon as possible. At that time, I will give you a Xuanxue Dan, which will help you break through to the Xuanji Realm."

  "Mystic Extreme Realm." Lin Xuans face revealed a hint of joy.

  Lin Chenyu said: "When you reach the Xuanji boundary, with your talent, its not difficult to take the exam and enter the Cloud Platform Sect. The Ninth Princess is just a stepping stone for your growth. As for Zhang Ruochen, he actually dared to oppose the Queen Mother, and will surely die an unjust death. Haha"

  Lin Xuans eyes showed a strange light, and he looked forward to the martial arts competition a month later even more.

  She imagined in her mind that Zhang Ruochen would apologize to her in a low and humble tone, and the corners of her mouth would hook up with an enchanting smile again.
