Martial World's
Ch 90 - Prince of the Clouds
…

…
Muyi slowly shook his head. To be fair, Yang Lin was too kind; his temperament was no match for being the head of state. Although captivating stories from ancient times have told of many benevolent emperors ruling their territory, the virtue was only one facet of their character. For example, they would show one side to the officials, one side to the commoners, and one side to their enemies. They will not be lenient or succumb in terms of killing. Those who are too friendly and passive are not fit to be rulers.
Yang Lin said, “In the current Seven Profound Martial House rank war, there seems to be some talent participating in the assessment. I sent Zishan and the others because I wanted to win her heart, but. My tenth younger brother has been on the battlefield in all directions for many years. He had captured nobles from many neighboring countries and obtained a large amount of wealth, jewelry, beautiful women, and cultivation method manuals, this was very tempting for martial artists. I don't think that I can offer anything comparable to what my tenth younger brother can do. ”
When the world is in peace, everyone will come to one for profit, but when the world is in chaos, one must go to others for profit. If a ruler wanted to win a talent, they needed to give a corresponding prize. Therefore, the wealth of a prince was also an important standard of their strength. Otherwise, if you can't bring out something valuable, why would anyone die for them?
"Oh? A talent? Who?" Muyi's heart moved. He already had a faint guess.
"Lin Ming, 15 years old. This time he might enter the top 100 rankings in the Seven Profound Martial Houses. ”
"Lin Ming?" Muyi smiled. "Your Majesty, rest assured, Lin Ming will not be won by the Tenth Prince."
"Oh? Why are you saying this? ”
“Sister Lin and I are intergenerational friends. Moreover, his background was somewhat mysterious; he had a formidable master behind him. He had only gone to the Seven Profound Martial House for some practice and experience. Even if the Cloud Prince brought out some good cultivation methods, it might not even be visible in Lin Ming's eyes. And also ... does Your Majesty remember a month ago when I asked Your Majesty to help save a friend? This was the beginning of it all and also on the same day as the entrance examination of the Seven Profound Martial House. He was framed and almost thrown in jail.”.
"What ... which ... Master, do you mean to tell me that it is Lin Ming?" Yang Lin thought quickly, he immediately understood what Muyi wanted to say.
“Haha, yes, he is Lin Ming. Although I don't have much contact with little brother Lin, but I can tell you that I feel he is a very righteous and kind person. Although at that time the assistance of His Highness the Crown Prince was not much, Lin Ming had to remember this kindness. Although His Majesty might not win it, he would also not be a subordinate of the Prince of Clouds and oppose His Majesty.”
"Here, it's really a nice surprise."
The Crown Prince shone with a happy expression. Although the emperor's body was getting worse every year, but under the care of the precious medicines and the martial arts conditioning of the healers, it wouldn't be a problem to live 5 or 6 years, either, or even 7 to 8 more years. Such a long time was enough for the talent to grow.
Although there were quite a few Pulse Condensation martial artists in the Sky Fortune Kingdom, most of them gathered in the Seven Profound Martial House. Others are given titles by the government, and are essentially in the military.
The people that the princes could take advantage of were fewer and fewer, as few people wanted to wade through the turbulent waters of the succession. Once they make a mistake and bet on the wrong horse, they cannot be redeemed!
On Yang Lin's side, not counting Muyi, there was only one Pulse Condensation martial artist, who was already over 50 years old. But looking at the Seven Profound Martial Houses, there was Ling Sen, whose cultivation was already at the peak of the Fourth Stage of Body Transformation, and whose actual combat strength was approaching the Pulse Condensation Period!
Give him a few years, and he can also reach that stage!
This Lin Ming could be the next Ling Sen!
Lin Ming was a famous rare talent in the Seven Profound Martial House that would only appear every few dozen years. If he decided to join a party, the power and influence he would gain would increase by a step.
Therefore this competition for Lin Ming, although seemingly small, was actually very significant!
At this moment, red flames lit up in front of Yang Lin.
Pure gold! Urgent sound transmission talismans!
"Your Majesty, Lin Ming's results came in. The rating is 62!"
As the Crown Prince, he knew what it meant to reach rank 62 at the second appraisal! Even Ling Sen was inferior to this!
Ling Sen was already an abnormal existence. With the peak cultivation of the Fourth Stage of Body Transformation, he was able to approach the strength of the Pulse Condensation Period, and this Lin Ming was even more distorted!
He immediately sent out another sound transmission talisman. Although he knew that it was impossible for Zishan and the others to make such a huge mistake, he had to confirm the matter.
"How's that?" The sound-emitting talisman sends sound directly to the receiver's mind. Muyi heard nothing.
Yang Lin took a deep breath and said, "Teacher, this Lin Ming result is rank 62."
"What's? 62?” Muyi was a little distracted for a moment but soon relaxed. Of course, since Lin Ming was a disciple chosen by a great teacher, how could he be a small fish in a pond? Ling Sen, Ta Ku, and others like them could be considered as talents in the Sky Fortune Kingdom, but when compared to disciples from large sects taught by supreme teachers, it was only a matter of fact, they're much worse.
Even if Lin Ming was able to reach rank 62 at his first assessment, it would not be excessive!
Muyi believed that since Lin Ming had such an outstanding master behind him, then he definitely had very good abilities. Even if Lin Ming defeated Ling Sen in a few more months, Muyi would at most be stunned for a moment, and then also believe that this was normal.
…
While Yang Lin received the sound transmitting talisman, the Tenth Prince also received it. The Tenth Prince did not care much about Lin Ming's strength, as he had more lords under him than the Crown Prince. What he cared about was Lin Ming's influence. Lin Ming was the eye of the storm in Sky Fortune Capital City and a rising star among martial artists. His talent came to a level that could only be found every few dozen years in the Seven Profound Martial House!
If such a character were to join him, then without a doubt the morale of his subordinates would greatly increase. There were even more people waiting to see the situation before thinking of joining him. If Lin Ming joined, it would undoubtedly be easier.
But now, after hearing the news from the sound-emitting talisman, the Tenth Prince's complexion immediately changed.
To enter the Seven Profound Martial House for only one month and for this was only the assessment of both, and also just cultivating at the Early Third Stage of Body Transformation, yet he was still able to reach rank 62 in the Ranked Stone!
This rank completely surpassed Ling Sen!
The Seven Profound Martial Houses had never had a record like this for a hundred years!
For one to be able to advance to the Seven Profound Martial House Heavenly House just by the peak of the Third Stage of Body Transformation could be considered a talent among talents if they managed to reach around rank 70. But Lin Ming had actually reached rank 62! And his cultivation was half a step lower! This was just a monstrous genius!
It was possible that Lin Ming would become a master that far exceeded Ling Sen! Ignoring the immense influence he had in attracting other martial artists to his side, his combat prowess was enough to shock the Tenth Prince!
Don't forget, Lin Ming is only 15 years old and his cultivation is at the Early Third Stage of Body Transformation; there is a huge room for improvement!
“Haha, heaven helped me! Soon after a rare talent that had never been seen in a hundred years from the Seven Profound Martial Houses joined me, then the martial artists of Sky Fortune City will hear this and come trembling to join me!
"Your Majesty, any orders?"
“Prepare 50,000 taels of gold immediately, two best jewelry boxes, a dozen of the best virgin beauties under the age of 16, a hundred maids, and have them wait at Chunyuan Mountain Villa. Also, prepare 500 hectares of fertile agricultural land and ownership deed of Chunyuan Mountain Villa!”
The man heard this and was secretly frightened. Such a gift, was he real!? Who is this for!? A villa, 50,000 gold taels, and two of the best jewelry boxes were more than enough to win over a general!
The Tenth Prince was sure that he had this. In fact, he also had a secondary gift that gave him the most confidence. It was a set of rare human step manuals that he had snatched from a noble family. With this, he had won many martial artists.
"Yang Lin, Yang Lin, you will lose to me. What you can put out is not even a tenth of what I can. I'd like to see how you'll struggle when you're fully suppressed by Me. I don't need that misty old man to die; I'll take the first step and let you off guard! ”
