The gongs and drums rang out in the sky, and a sea of people crowded together. A new day, regardless of whether people were complaining or regretting it, had finally arrived.

and Chun Tong, the two martial arts rookies who were publicly acknowledged to be the strongest, were going to start a big battle today.

Shen Kai sighed, he kept quiet and closed his eyes in thought.

"What?" Everyone thought they were hallucinating as they stared wide-eyed and stretched their necks.

Hua Yang admitting defeat, was undoubtedly a stone that gave rise to a thousand ripples. This was a Martial Arts Rookie Assembly, before this, no martial artist would admit defeat.

"I admit defeat!" Hua Yang repeated himself again, and without turning back, he left the stage. Before leaving the stage, Hua Yang glared at the crown prince on the royal spectator stand, and before he was noticed by the crown prince, he retracted his gaze, "Crown Prince, remember, one day you will regret giving up on me, Hua Yang!"

"Shen Kai, I, Hua Yang, have not lost to you. What I, Hua Yang, have lost today, will one day pay back double! "

Hua Zhenbei who was seated behind the Crown Prince looked at his son with a bitter face, his right hand tightly holding onto the wooden chair's armrest, the veins on the back of his hand writhing like small snakes, "Yang'er, father is sorry, but do not resent father."

Some had faces full of astonishment, but some were fully aware that what Hua Yang had done today was not unexpected, and Shen Kai had long since known of all of this. Even though this was not done by Shen Kai, the one who had benefited from it was him, so it was no wonder that Hua Yang would resent him.

Last night, when Dong Mingzhuo came to Shen Kai's room, he had already informed him that Hua Yang would surrender today and that the Crown Prince would hold him in his hands as a wuxiaozhuan. This year's Martial Arts Competition was not only going to be a competition between the five new disciples, it was also a competition between several princes.

In the future, he would have to lead troops that were sent by all the big doors of the martial arts world to fight off the enemy. Among the few princes, the crown prince and the eighth prince had the strongest power to take over the throne, the crown prince had the support of a hundred officials, and the eighth prince had the military power and authority.

What the crown prince lacked the most was the military's strength, and once Wu Lin's influence fell into the hands of the eighth prince, then even if the imperial edict appointed the crown prince as emperor, the eighth prince would certainly command an army to rebel. At that time, the imperial guards would simply be unable to compete with the eighth prince.

Originally, the crown prince relied on Hua Yang, but Hua Yang, who had the lowest cultivation level, did not. In fact, the crown prince saw hope in Shen Kai, who was able to cripple Yu Chunqiu's meridians, with her tyrannical strength to this day, anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that Shen Kai, after going berserk, was not someone an ordinary person could contend with, and was even stronger than Chun Tong and Wang Zhengyu.

The reason why Hua Yang admitted defeat was also because of the crown prince's arrangements. The goal was that before Shen Kai could fight with Chun Tong and Chun Tong, Shen Kai would be able to preserve a bit of his strength, so this time, the crown prince had placed all the treasures on Shen Kai.

As the wuxiaozhuan, not only was Shen Kai able to lead the army and fight against the Eighth Prince's authority, he was also able to marry the Emperor's only daughter, the Nine Continents's only princess Liu Li. He was also able to consolidate the Crown Prince's position in the imperial court.

Of course, it was not only Hua Zhenbei and Hua Yang who were sacrificed, Dong Mingzhuo had also made the sacrifice as well. With the princess' powerful physique, Shen Kai, after marrying the princess, became the prince's concubine, and Dong Yixin could only become Shen Kai's concubine. Although it was normal for three wives and four concubines to be together, letting their own daughter be their concubine was no wonder that it was difficult for Dong Mingzhuo to say anything.

After the Crown Prince's follower announced Shen Kai's victory, he expressionlessly left the Martial Forest Convention. As for the martial arts competition that was following, did not have much interest in it, since Wang Zhengyu had told him last night that he would cripple Chun Tong and lose to him intentionally. Regardless of whether it was the Crown Prince or Wang Zhengyu, everything seemed to be set in stone.

Shen Kai had been looking forward to the Martial Arts Competition that was held every half year and the Grand Ceremony of the Jianghu that was held every five years.

"Is the painstaking training of a martial artist so laughable in the eyes of those who stand at the pinnacle of power?" For the first time, Shen Kai doubted his cultivation. Hua Yang was a good genius, in the future, he would definitely reach the heights of his father Hua Zhenbei, but so what about Hua Zhenbei, or Dong Mingzhuo? He had chosen to submit before the crown prince who could cover the sky with one hand.

Right now, he had more potential than Hua Yang and was even more valuable than Hua Yang, so the crown prince had abandoned Hua Yang and chose to use him instead. If someone with greater potential and strength than him appeared, the crown prince would not hesitate to abandon him, just like how Hua Yang was right now.

Hua Yang and Shen Kai were both part of the crown prince's men, so they were not surprised that Hua Yang would admit defeat. When they were faced with a situation like this, they would also make the same decision, and those without strength would naturally be abandoned.

The Crown Prince smiled but didn't say anything. He continued to pour tea for himself. The eighth prince also didn't pay any attention to him. Instead, he meaningfully looked at the departing figure.
