The feast was over, the plaza was cleaned up, the crowd dispersed, and in the middle, there was a large space, surrounded by Yulin Army.

The steps in front of the palace were also filled with Yulin Army s, it was solemn and dignified.

At the top of the stairs, there was a temporary grandstand. The golden bench in the middle was dancing in the wind, exuding a majestic air.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

A resounding sound echoed in the air. The musical instrument resounded. The zither clashed, and the bells and drums rang out loud and clear.

"Your Majesty, Wan Kang!"

A tsunami like sound rang out in the plaza, directly heading out in search of him, and transmitted outside the palace in the darkness of the night.

The crowd bowed in unison, and a man and a woman walked forward hand in hand.

The man had a dignified appearance. He wore a black long robe with a huge dragon surrounding him. A black crown covered his head as golden threads weaved around his hair. His eyes were like lightning as they swept past.

The current emperor of the Great Xia Empire, Duan Hong!

The Female was dignified and graceful. She wore a phoenix coronet and a faint smile hung on her face; there was an indescribable gentleness on her face.

The current Queen of Great Xia Empire, Nangong Xuan.

Together they stood in front of the golden bench, looking down.

Behind him, over thirty figures appeared, including Duan Yuanchen, Duan Yuanlang and Long Ruofeng.

It was precisely these thirty people, whose names shook the Grand Xia!

"Everyone, rise!" Duan Hong said in a clear voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone stood up and retreated to the side.

Duan Hong sat down with Nangong Xuan and said slowly, "We will step down from the throne in three more years. To be able to witness the grand occasion of the Grand Xia made my heart surge with emotions, as if I had returned to the prime of my life."

"The young talents are all gathered together. Why not display it? In the future, you will be able to achieve great feats and establish your own territory. It all depends on you."

"Long Ruofeng, Murong Jingyu, I shall leave this matter to the two of you to manage."

Long Ruofeng, son of the King Zhenbei.

Murong Jingyu, son of the Zhennan King.

The Prince of Great Xia Empire had to avoid the limelight even if she was the most famous person among the young generation of Great Xia Empire.

"Understood!"

Long Ruofeng and Murong Jingyu bowed and walked down the stairs. They separated a Channels and the two entered in a flash.

"Please, Mu Rong Shi!" Long Ruofeng cupped her fists and said, her heart feeling bitter, she guessed what would happen next.

Murong Jingyu was also not more than twenty years old, his face was like a crown jade, he was extraordinarily handsome, his eyes shone like the stars, adding an additional splendor.

On the contrary, it looked extremely ordinary to Long Ruofeng.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you. Please advise me on my shortcomings, Crown Prince."

Murong Jingyu said, looking at the crowd, he said in a clear voice: "Men stand between heaven and earth, it is only right for them to kill the enemy on the battlefield, build their meritorious service, and defend the peace of the world."

"Today, His Majesty is personally spectating. The time has come to display the elegance of a man from Grand Xia."

"Challenge him as you please! There are no rules! You can forfeit, but you can admit defeat!"

"But I do not wish for the Grand Xia to be so bloodless. Who will fight now?"

The sound wave spread out, resonating in all four directions, the blood in his body was boiling, able to make a name for himself here, and circulate throughout Grand Xia.

Tang Yi's expression was cold, it could be said that he had spent a lot of effort to think of this move. Today, either they would fight to the end, or their faces would be completely disgraced. As for what followed, it went without saying.

"Good, good, good!" Tang Yi muttered: "In that case, don't blame me for starting a massacre here!"

"Whiz!"

A figure flew through the air and landed in the ring. It was a youth of seventeen or eighteen.

"Everyone says that the Soaring Dragon School is a place where talents gather, Ling Nan Wen Yuan is here to seek guidance, please do not hold grudges!"

His expression was indifferent and his bearing was extraordinary. Just his courage and boldness was worthy of respect.

Besides the large sects, the 36 counties would also fight for some genius disciples.

And this man was from the Lingnan County.

"I'll do it!"

A figure rushed in, "Soaring Dragon School Meng Liang, please enlighten me!"

As the sound of his voice faded, the two of them attacked at almost the same time. Their sword and blade clashed.

Wen Yuan dared to take such a lead, so his power was naturally not ordinary.

Meng Liang waved his long knife, making it seem like there was something missing.

"Who do you think will win?" Li Qiu said softly.

"Wen Yuan!" Tang Yi said without the slightest hesitation.

"En!" Li Qiu nodded her head, "I wonder what Meng Liang is thinking, the blade is not suitable for him."

Tang Yi finally understood what was wrong. There was nothing wrong with Meng Liang's blade technique, but he could not obtain the essence of the blade. On the surface, it looked as though everything was flowing smoothly, but in reality, it couldn't withstand a single blow.

If it was Tang Yi who went up on stage, a single slash would be sufficient.

Just as he was thinking of this, a "peng" sound rang out, and Meng Liang retreated backward rapidly. Blood flowed from his right arm, and unwillingness could be seen in his eyes.

"Thanks!"

Wen Yuan cupped his fists in greeting. It turned out that he had already discovered Meng Liang's problem after a simple probe, and had taken the opportunity to defeat him.

"I've lost!"

Meng Liang bowed. After all, Wen Yuan had shown mercy.

"Is there anyone else who is willing to teach me?" Wen Yuan said softly, neither arrogant nor impatient.

"I'll do it!"

The crowd parted, and Shi Hao walked in.

"Huh?"

Tang Yi was a little surprised. Shi Hao should not have come out to fight at this time, unless …

"The bait is here." Li Qiu said softly.

Tang Yi laughed, the reason Shi Hao used him as bait was simply because he wanted to lure him out to fight.

If he was willing to fight, then Duan Yuanlang's counterattack would be natural, and he wouldn't need to look at the others' strange gazes.

If he refused to fight, they would not give up so easily.

"Then I'll eat this bait." Tang Yi said with a smile.

"Be careful!" Li Qiu knew that she could not stop Tang Yi, and stopping him would be useless. Even if Tang Yi did not fight, there would still be people coming to force him.

While they were talking, Wen Yuan and Shi Hao had already started battling. The two of them were both at the fourth level of the Upper Dantian Realm.

Initially, Wen Yuan could still resist it but unfortunately, he was not able to hold on soon enough. Shi Hao forced Wen Yuan back with his sword and did not continue to move forward.

Wen Yuan seemed to be somewhat unwilling, but he knew that he was no match for Shi Hao, and shouted: "The Spiritual Body is indeed powerful, I'll be taking my leave!"

It was difficult to reverse the advantage of talent in the early stages. As one's cultivation level increased, the advantage of talent would continue to grow bigger, but there would also be more methods to reverse it.

The Spiritual Body was undeniably strong, but it was not invincible either.

When Shi Hao looked at the crowd, he saw Tang Yi slowly walking over, and the corner of his mouth revealed a trace of a smile.

Tang Yi walked into the ring and lightly said: "I've made you wait for a long time."

"Oh?" Shi Hao's eyes lit up, "What do you mean?"

Tang Yi laughed, and his voice suddenly became louder, "You are really risking your life for your master, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

The crowded plaza was quiet, Tang Yi's words had clearly travelled to everyone's ears. Some of them understood what Tang Yi meant and laughed faintly, while others were suspicious and paid more attention.

A cold light flashed past Shi Hao's eyes, and he became more and more confused. The higher ups of the empire were all gathered here, they did not expect Tang Yi to say such words, and they were immediately caught off guard.

"Scared? Was it bad to be the bait? If I were you, I would admit defeat and leave right now. " Tang Yi sighed, "No matter what, you are a Spiritual Body, to die in my hands is disgraceful!"

Shi Hao could no longer suppress the killing intent in his heart. Unknowingly, he had been forced into a dead end by Tang Yi, and facing Tang Yi's challenge, he had to accept, and it was a battle of life and death!

Otherwise, how would he be able to establish his footing in the Great Xia Empire in the future? The so called Spiritual Body would become a joke.

Just as they were scheming against Tang Yi, Tang Yi's counterattack arrived first.

"What an arrogant brat. I want to see just how strong you are. Fight!"

As Shi Hao's voice fell, the longsword suddenly took action. A white light flashed and streaked across the sky like a waterfall, filled with a biting cold killing intent.

"That's right, a sneak attack is your only chance." Tang Yi smiled and said, he did not retreat but chose to advance instead.

The moment the Tyrant Blade made its move, the aura of the Tyrant Blade started to dissipate. Inside, the Genuine Qi was dancing frantically, all the acupuncture points started to spin, and the Genuine Qi started to explode, the interior of the Tyrant Blade exploded like a clap of thunder.

Shi Hao was greatly shocked, and only now did he realize that Tang Yi was already at the fifth level of the Upper Dantian Realm.

"You actually …"

"Die!"

The shout was like a clap of thunder, Tang Yi of course knew what Shi Hao was saying, and without giving him the chance to speak, the Tyrant Blade fiercely slashed down.

Bang!

The white light exploded, the longsword stirred up, Shi Hao spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated quickly.

Tang Yi's body trembled, and when he caught up once again, he was already about to retreat into the crowd.

"Fight with me like a human, don't be a dog!"

The Tyrant Blade quickly slashed over!

Shi Hao's eyes overflowed with killing intent, the longsword just raised it up, and was in so much pain that it gasped for breath, "I admit defeat!"

Admitting defeat was allowed, but Tang Yi did not allow it, and the Tyrant Blade continued to slash downwards.
