The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 208 The Madness of Xue Tong
It was the third day of the martial arts contest and the remaining contestants were only 16 individuals. Without tension, the four 5th rank Spirit realm participants were among the remaining.
Yang Zenke, Xiao Hua, and Han Sen were also among the remaining participants, while the rest of their teams failed to reach the last 16.
Most surprising of all, the fifth princess was also among the top 16 and her cultivation level had reached the peak stage of a 4th ranked Knight Crusader! Although there were not many compared to the other remaining participants, his sword techniques and skills were higher than most of them.
The Emperor also explained in a carefree tone the reason why Princess Sylvia had managed to increase her cultivation level at an unreasonable speed. He had actually consumed a rank 9 spiritual fruit that immediately created an opportunity for his breakthrough.
Everyone exclaimed at the princess's luck to actually eat such a precious spiritual fruit and even some ancestors sighed in jealousy. But they can't be blamed. After all, it was a 9th rank spiritual fruit. Something at that level was extremely hard to find and could not even be bought using True Crystals.
There was only one battle platform left at the venue and the crowd became larger than two days ago. Many guests from outside Beltran City came to watch the event and they also wanted to see the best fighters from the younger generation of their Silver Wing Empire.
Jiu Shen sat in the same place along with his people. By his side was Long Meili and his senior disciple Lu Sulan. Sitting on her lap was the adorable little girl, Ice. The little girl sucked on the bottle containing milk. Her expression was overjoyed as she closed her eyes while enjoying a bottle of milk.
Gulp down. Gulp down. Gulp down.
Ah~
Ice licked her lips after letting out a satisfied voice.
“Scented man, I like this one. Can I eat three of these every day? Meow.” Ice said as she looked at the milk bottle in her hand with her big round eyes.
Jiu Shen rubbed his head gently and nodded his head at her. “M N.” He answered softly.
Ice giggled happily after getting her approval.
“Everything! This is the third day of the martial arts contest and we will all see the top 16 young men from the Silver Wing Kingdom fighting amongst themselves to prove who among them deserves to be crowned as the best young man in this generation! the top 8 contestants will also receive prizes depending on their rankings and what the prizes are like, I cannot divulge them now. Without further ado, I will now call the first contestant to go on stage! Princess Sylvia and Young Master Xue Tong, please go to the battle platform!” The supervisor announced out loud. His words immediately aroused the excitement of the crowd and when he summoned the first contestant, everyone clapped excessively.
Xue Tong was the son of the supreme elder of the Xue Family, Xue Yangkun. He was a waste and bully just a few months ago, but he had suddenly become one of the youths from the Silver Wing Empire. As for how he had increased his strength in such a short amount of time, no one knew other than Jiu Shen.
It was unknown how many lives were lost just to make the once trash Xue Tong become what it is today.
Xue Tong was wearing a set of purple and black robes with their Xue Family emblem on his back. A grim-looking scythe was seen tied behind his back. It was scary to look at and some of the women from the crowd even gasped at it.
“What kind of weapon is it? It looks too unsightly and dangerous! Will he use it to fight with His Majesty?”
“We don't have to worry about that. His Highness was already at the peak stage of a 4th rank Knight Crusader and his strength was on par with that of Young Master Xue Tong. In addition, there are several imperial guards under him. The battle platform that will soon save anyone from impending doom.”
“You may be right, but this kind of weapon is too much to use in a contest like this. I wonder if His Majesty allowed Xue Tong to fight His Majesty using it.”
Princess Sylvia put on a nervous expression as she looked at the evil-looking weapon behind Xue Tong. He might have increased his cultivation level a lot, but his battle experience was nothing compared to the other participants, so he was eager to see such a terrifying weapon. He could not help but glance at the emperor, but he only received his sharp gaze.
“There are no rules that restrict anyone from using any type of weapon, so this does not violate the rules. Continue the battle.” Emperor Elyk said with a dignified tone.
Xue Tong quietly sighed in relief after obtaining the emperor's approval. She then bowed to Princess Sylvia with a smile on her face. “Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this weapon. It just looks scary, but it's similar to an ordinary scythe.” She chuckled, but her voice sounded so calm that it made Princess Sylvia feel that something was amiss. However, he could not determine where his nervousness came from.
“Xue Tong, you don't need to talk a lot of nonsense. Take out that ugly weapon and fight with me!” Princess Sylvia uttered it while putting up a bold front. He did not want others to see his anxiety, so he could only pretend to be calm.
Xue Tong was raging in his heart. He had liked this little female demon ever since they were young and he had also seduced her many times. However, Sylvia was a cruel woman and she always beat her with the help of others. He hated her for rejecting him, but he could do nothing back then because there was a gigantic Silveria Imperial Family protecting him.
But things were different now.He had the support of the Immortal Corpse Sect and the much stronger Xue Family! And the thing that excited him the most was the news of Elder Ming's successful breakthrough! He was now an individual that surpassed the human realm! And as their Xue Family took over the throne grew closer. In fact, they would immediately act after the martial arts contest!
It was the best chance to destroy the Silveria Imperial Family and their loyal subordinates at once!
‘Little prostitute, let's see how long you can maintain an arrogant expression on your face! I'll fuck you in front of your father and brother, then I'll kill them after fucking you!’ Xue Tong laughed maniacally in his heart. His pair of onyx eyes radiated with a ferocious light.
