Ch 102 - Focus All Eyes

But today, the Martial Stage was crowded with people. These people were all outstanding characters; there was the talent and genius of the Seven Profound Martial House, the heroes of the Sky Fortune Kingdom martial artists, the nobles and nobles of Sky Fortune City, and the nobles of Sky Fortune City, various famous and respected families, and important political figures.
Lin Ming was an extremely rare talent that would appear only every 100 years in the Seven Profound Martial House. His rising star and bright halo were enough to attract the attention of most martial artists. Zhu Yan was also a first-rate master of the Seven Profound Martial House; he had the possibility to become one of the ten future talents of the Seven Profound Martial House. This two-man match symbolized the duel between the top geniuses of the Sky Fortune City's younger generation.
If it was just this alone, it would not attract the Sky Fortune City nobles and political figures to gather here.
They were not included in the circle of martial artists. No matter how strong Lin Ming or Zhu Yan was, this would have nothing to do with any of them.
The reason this match would make them pay special attention was because there was a political interest behind it!
The news of the match Lin Ming and Zhu Yan had spread far and wide long ago.
Everyone was aware that the Tenth Prince's mother, the imperial concubine, was from the Zhu Family of Green Mulberry City. This Zhu Yan also had a very high possibility of becoming the next head of the Zhu Family. Zhu Yan was without a doubt the person of the Tenth Prince.
But Lin Ming had resisted the progress of the Tenth Prince when the Tenth Prince had tried to win him over a month ago, and instead supported the Crown Prince. Moreover, according to reliable sources, Lin Ming and Zhu Yan had some sort of enmity between them, and Lin Ming and Master Muyi were intergenerational friends. Based on these points alone, Lin Ming had an almost absolute possibility of becoming a Crown Prince!
This match, while being a duel between Lin Ming and Zhu Yan, also symbolized the struggle between the Crown Prince and the Tenth Prince. These past few years, hidden conflicts between the Crown Prince and the Tenth Prince had been frequent, but the Crown Prince had lost almost every single time! Although most of these battles had not really hurt the Crown Prince's strength, they had unhesitatingly weakened the Crown Prince's momentum!
It was no secret that the Tenth Prince wanted to seize the throne. In this case, the Crown Prince has repeatedly suffered setbacks, and all this perpetuates the notion that the Crown Prince is inferior to the Tenth Prince. Because of this, the people supporting the Crown Prince were inevitably panicked and confused, and fewer and fewer people were supporting the Crown Prince. On the contrary, the Tenth Prince's influence only grew by the day!
Many nobles and nobles came today not to see the contest between Lin Ming and Zhu Yan, but the contest between the Tenth Prince and the Crown Prince! The faster these people supported the man they thought would become the dragon that would ascend the throne, the greater the advantage they could obtain in the coming throne battle!
Due to the appearance of these nobles, there were special protections on the Martial Stage, and bodyguards to protect these important guests.
Because too many important people were present, the disciples of the Seven Profound Martial Houses were pushed far away. This angered them, and criticized these nobles in their hearts.
Lin Ming had arrived. He stood calmly on the empty Martial Stage, his body as straight as Penetrating Rainbow.
Faced with the eyes of everyone who looked at him, and so many of them became important people, Lin Ming closed his eyes and meditated, his mind calm and serene like a calm lake.
In a battle between two equal powers, one's state of mind becomes extremely important. Even a slight change would affect the outcome of the battle.
The best condition for the mind of a martial artist before a battle was to be as calm and serene as water, not even having a single intrusive thought. Although saying this was easy, fighting was usually very important; how could a martial artist calm down and keep their heart in this state? Other than the interference from so many other possible factors, there were very few martial artists capable of achieving this calm and serene mental state.
However, Lin Ming had comprehended martial intent and had reached this state. To him, this was as easy as turning his hand.
That was half an hour from the agreed match time. At this moment, a sharp and high-pitched voice suddenly called out; this was the unique voice of the palace eunuch. "The Crown Prince has arrived!"
Everyone was shocked; even Lin Ming who had been standing on the Martial Stage opened his eyes. His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly came!
Accompanied by the sound of a clear clip clip from the clattering of steps, several Snow Dragon Horses appeared and came into sight. They were led by a young man wearing a purple gold crown and a silk imperial robe. She wore a pair of Kirin-style boots, and her delicate eyebrows framed her pretty face. He had a wide forehead, and a very handsome face. His movements were filled with a special innate atmosphere.
This man is His Majesty, the Crown Prince.
On the side of the Crown Prince was an old man wearing green clothes. His face had a warm and friendly smile, yet it exuded a deep and unfathomable aura. This person is the teacher of the Crown Prince, the outsider of the Headquarters, Master Muyi!
"Your Majesty, Crown Prince!"
“Muyi!”
Seeing these two famous figures gathered in unison made everyone present feel amazed. They paved the way for them to advance.
Muyi looked at Lin Ming with a smile and a nod, and Lin Ming smiled in return. There was a lot of goodwill and friendship between Muyi and Lin Ming.
But good things come in pairs. Similarly, after half a quarter of an hour, the Tenth Prince, the Cloud Prince, also arrived!
Cloud Prince's appearance and Crown Prince's appearance were somewhat similar. His appearance was only firmer, his brows were like swords pointing towards his temple, and above the middle of his forehead was a faint purple cloud hidden under his skin. This was the legendary Purple Air Coming From the East, King of the Air!
On the side of the Prince of Clouds was also a slender young man in silk clothes. This young man was Zhu Yan.
As soon as the Tenth Prince saw Lin Ming, he smiled with a 'haha'. “Sister Lin, you came very early. This is our first meeting; nice to meet you!"
Although his voice was loud, there was no arrogance in it. Instead, it was very comfortable and pleasant to listen to.
Lin Ming silently thought, "This Tenth Prince is also a character. I rejected him at first, but he didn't seem to hold a grudge. On the surface he spoke and laughed happily with me, as if nothing had ever happened before.”
'Turn the sword into a plowshare? I was worried Zhu Yan wanted to eat my flesh and skin me alive.'
Lin Ming understood that the Tenth Prince had said these words because he did not want to become his enemy. He politely replied, “I don't expect His Highness the Prince of Clouds to watch this match. It is my greatest honor and pleasure to see you here. ”
lin Ming's words were neither arrogant nor slave. He immediately responded to the Tenth Prince. The Tenth Prince only smiled, and no longer said anything.
At this moment, Zhu Yan descended and slowly stepped into the Martial Stage. As soon as he saw Lin Ming, he confirmed that this brat had made a breakthrough in this month!
Great Success of the Third Stage of Body Transformation!
Zhu Yan felt an enormous pressure, but did not feel anything was wrong. When Lin Ming had challenged him with a one-month deadline, Zhu Yan expected Lin Ming to make astonishing progress all along. He might have understood some sort of martial intent.
Zhu Yan arrived on the other side of the Martial Stage, and stood far away across from Lin Ming.
There was a quarter of an hour until the decisive battle!
Lan Yunyue was among those in the crowd. He was far away looking at Lin Ming and Zhu Yan on the stage. His heart had turned upside down, and it felt like all the good and bad emotions and feelings in his life had mixed into one.
He was the one who was least willing to see this fight happen. Regardless of who won or who lost, every choice would be a knife in his heart! His eyes still echoed with ghostly echoes from the words Zhu Yan said to him one month ago, "He wants me to divorce you!"
He did not even dare to think about what would happen if Zhu Yan lost, and how he would face life after that. He didn't even have a chance to regret …
Although Lin Ming and Zhu Yan had already arrived, the battle had yet to begin. Zhu Yan closed his eyes and meditated, adjusting to his own peak condition.
To him Lin Ming was a formidable and terrifying opponent. He had to adjust his pre-battle conditions to the maximum, and display 120% of his strength!
Just half a year ago, Lin Ming had become an irrelevant loser, not even worth mentioning. Even if Lin Ming had defeated General Wang's son, Wang Yigao, it was nothing to Zhu Yan.
In Zhu Yan's eyes, Wang Yigao was a useless playboy who was no match to be called a martial artist.
Zhu Yan did not think that there would be a day where he and Lin Ming would stand against each other, and fight on the Martial Stage in front of so many important people. Even the Crown Prince and the Cloud Prince had come to witness this decisive battle.
And beyond that, Lin Ming's strength had also grown to threaten him!
In order to prepare for this battle today, he had been torturing himself for a month, and had even caused his cultivation foundation to become a little unstable by increasing his strength as much as possible with precious pills!
Facing this battle, he also wished for a calm heart to face the critical situation, to adjust his condition in this quarter hour before facing this great enemy!
This was a battle he could not defeat!
The victory and defeat of this battle concerned not only Zhu Yan's future, but also regarding his dignity as a martial artist, and moreover, his dignity as a man!
As the shadow of the sun began to move gradually, it finally became noon. Lin Ming's eyes suddenly opened.
“It's time!”
Zheng-!
With a loud ringing sound, Lin Ming developed his spear, Penetrating Rainbow. It was like a dark purple flood dragon that shivered as it fell into Lin Ming's hands! At this moment, Lin Ming had yet to fight, but his indomitable aura had been unleashed and billowed out. Everyone present, even if their cultivation was higher than Lin Ming, felt an invisible pressure pressing down on them!
"This aura .. is this really something that a martial artist at the Third Stage of Body Transformation can release !?"
"This Lin Ming is too powerful, his imposing demeanor and aura are enough to make one feel breathless!"
Even the disciples of the Seven Profound Martial House were extremely shocked. This strength of Lin Ming increased too quickly! They had not seen him in a month, and his strength had risen to a higher level!
Zhu Yan took a deep breath and slowly took out his treasure sword. This sword in his hand was a low-level human step treasure, one of the best among its kind. Her name was Scarlet Flare, and it had accompanied her for many years. He had long been able to communicate with his sword.
Facing Lin Ming, it was impossible to rely on his weak opponent. He could only ask that his own strength be stronger!
Fu-y!
With a light voice, Zhu Yan's sword lit up with flames visible to the naked eye! Strengthen the true essence and give it a real form! This was a stage that could only be reached by those who were one step away from reaching the Pulse Condensation Period. Generally only those in the Great Success of Bone Forging were able to reach this realm, but Zhu Yan, who was just at the early stage of Muscle Changing, had achieved this!
Lin Ming and Zhu Yan did not fight, but with just a few random moves, they had displayed their frightening strength as a peak among talents. This was a fierce fight between two well-balanced opponents!
The entire Martial Stage crowd fell silent; even the sound of a pin falling could be heard. The audience fell silent with bated breaths, and they continued to look, with unblinking eyes, at the stage that contained two figures alone, for fear of losing a single thing.
