Long Chen knew very well that once Xiao Ye's innate true energy was perfected, his strength would definitely surpass him.
As the current crown prince, Long Chen is also the number one young man in the Black Dragon Kingdom. Although he longs to find a rival, he will not be willing to be surpassed unless he can aspire to win the Xuanwu title.
But the true meaning of martial arts becomes more difficult to comprehend as one reaches the later stages.
If he relied on his own understanding, Long Chen didn't know how long it would take to realize the final result, so the bodhi leaf became his must-win treasure.
At this time, there was silence in the palace, and countless young warriors stared at the two figures with respect on their faces.
After seeing the strength of Xiao Ye and Long Chen, I realized how big the gap between the two of them was.
They had expected Long Chen's strength, but Xiao Ye was not weak at all, which gave them a huge psychological impact.
"Well, if our Divine Fist Sect can get this son, we will definitely stand in the Black Dragon Kingdom forever. It will not be a dream to become a force second only to the royal family in the future." A Xuanwu realm strongman sighed.
"Is the deputy master of the Chongyang Sect mentally retarded?"
"You actually expelled such an outstanding disciple. If it were me, even if the sect is exterminated, I would still keep this son alive." The leader of the Shenquan Sect said loudly, arousing the approval of all the Xuanwu Realm experts.
So what if you give up the world for the sake of an outstanding successor? As long as the fire is not extinguished, sooner or later a spark will start a prairie fire.
"Hehe, I guess that guy's intestines are so green now that he won't have the face to show up in the future." Someone sneered.
At this moment, the king standing proudly in the sky came to Xiao Ye and Long Chen.
"I have seen the hope of the future of the Black Dragon Kingdom." The king's eyes stayed on Xiao Ye, with a smile on his face.
Even he was amazed that Xiao Ye was able to possess first-class innate ultimate strength without any training resources, standing shoulder to shoulder with the heirs of the royal family.
In his eyes, Xiao Ye is like a piece of rough jade. If it is carved and polished well, the achievements in the future will be limitless.
Hearing the words of the king, everyone's hearts skipped a beat and they quickly stood up quietly. Is the king going to announce the ownership of the first young man?
The two top experts are tied, how should they judge? Moreover, Long Chen is still a descendant of the royal family, will the king show favoritism?
"I announce..." The king's eyes were gleaming as he scanned the entire audience, "Xiao Ye and Long Chen are tied for first place, and they are both the number one young supreme in this battle of geniuses!"
Tied for first place!
Everyone was stunned at first, then cheered, and the palace was in a state of excitement.
The battle between the two top experts ended in a draw, so no one doubted the king's decision, which was also the most fair.
I believe this news will spread throughout the Black Dragon Kingdom at an alarming speed. This is destined to be a shocking day!
Looking back at the beginning of the Prodigy War, this is the first time that two young people are tied for the first place. This day will definitely be recorded in history!
"The number one youth supreme." Xiao Ye whispered to himself, with excitement in his eyes. Looking back on the past, it was like a dream.
Who could have thought that that mountain boy would reach the pinnacle of glory and look down on all his peers in the Black Dragon Kingdom? Now his hard work and persistence have finally paid off.
If people from Xiao Meng heard this news, they would definitely be very happy.
"Junior brother, you are really dazzling now." Bingya, who was still in the palace, stared at Xiao Ye's figure, with a gentle smile on her lips.
"Tie for first place with Prince Long Chen?" In an inn, the deputy master of the Chongyang Sect turned very ugly after hearing the news.
The higher Xiao Ye's achievements are, the less Chongyang Sect will be able to hold its head high and it will become a complete joke.
Wentian and others who followed were also stunned.
The young man who was still in the same sect as them back then has become so powerful now.
"How is this possible?" Liu Yiyi's eyes trembled, her whole body was filled with powerlessness, and she was in the same state of mind as the deputy sect master.
"Go back to Chongyang Gate!" the deputy sect leader suddenly stood up and urged.
The direct disciples had no choice but to quickly pack up their things and leave the imperial city with the unconscious Zhao Qian. They had no shame to stay any longer.
…
After the jubilation was over, the lord of the country took the five young princes to a solemn palace.
Xiao Ye's face was full of expectations. At this time, even a fool could guess that the emperor would tell them about the Empress's penance training ground.
Isn't this the main reason why he came to participate in the Prodigy Battle?
"I want to tell you something." The king put his hands behind his back and was silent for a moment before saying slowly.
The five young supremes held their breath, waiting for the king to continue speaking.
"The rumors outside that the Empress's ascetic retreat is in our Black Dragon Kingdom are wrong. To be precise, our royal family only discovered an entrance to the Empress's ascetic retreat decades ago." The king explained.
As soon as these words came out, the five young supremes had different expressions.
The expressions of Long Chen and He Wudao didn't change much, Xue Zhan and Jiang Yun looked surprised, but Xiao Ye started to think deeply, and a guess took shape in his mind.
"Some of you must know that there are twelve countries on this land that can stand side by side with the Black Dragon Kingdom. Among those twelve countries, there are also entrances to the empress's penance land." The king said with a solemn expression.
What!
Xue Zhan and Jiang Yunfan were shocked when they heard this. The other twelve countries also have entrances to the empress's ascetic place?
"It's true." Xiao Ye's eyes flashed brightly, and his guess was confirmed.
A long time ago, he saw from the last page of the Black Dragon Kingdom's Records of Observations that there were twelve other countries that could be compared with the Black Dragon Kingdom. At that time, he was a little confused. If the empress's penance place was in the Black Dragon Kingdom, why were those twelve countries? No action from Congress?
The treasures in the empress's penance ground would make even Xuanwu realm experts jealous.
Now that he heard the king's words, the doubts in his heart disappeared.
"It seems that there are also young supremes from the twelve countries who have entered the Empress's penance training ground!" Xiao Ye clenched his fists, and a terrifying fighting spirit arose in his body.
The Empress's penance training ground has evolved into a battlefield for the supreme supremacy of young people from the thirteen countries.
The Black Dragon Kingdom has a powerful young supreme like Long Chen, but what about the other twelve countries?
With his potential, a Black Dragon Kingdom can no longer restrain him. Sooner or later, he will set foot on the vast True Spirit Continent.
Obviously, Xue Zhan and Jiang Yunfan had also figured this out, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Entering the Empress's training ground with their strength was simply asking for a blow.
"It seems that you have all thought of it." The king's eyes were sharp and he said calmly, "That's right! Every time the empress opens the penance training ground, it is the time when the youths of the thirteen countries compete for supremacy."
"Our Black Dragon Kingdom has been at a disadvantage in the past few times, so I hope that with Chen'er and Xiao Ye here this time, we will definitely be able to enhance our country's prestige!"
"As for the three of you, you don't need to worry. Most of the treasures you obtain in the Empress's penance land depend on luck, so you don't need to worry." The king said.
Hearing this, Xue Zhan, Jiang Yunfan, and He Wudao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xiao Ye with different expressions.
Rumor has it that once you practice the Four Cauldrons to the point where all four cauldrons come out together, you can form a cause and effect with the Empress. Therefore, Xiao Ye will have a huge advantage in the Empress's training ground, which is unmatched by others.
Xiao Ye ignored everyone's gazes. He pondered for a moment and asked: "Master, I have a doubt. The True Spirit Continent is so vast. Is there only thirteen countries?"
Hearing Xiao Ye's words, Xue Zhan and Jiang Yunfan couldn't help laughing.
"Humph, what a country bumpkin." He Wudao mocked coldly.
"Brother Xiao, you are really ignorant. Didn't you read the sect's classics when you were at Chongyang Sect? Our Black Dragon Kingdom, including the other twelve countries, are not on the real True Spirit Continent at all." Xue Zhan couldn't help but
said.
Xiao Ye's face was full of embarrassment. When he was in Chongyang Sect, he was practicing hard, so how could he have time to read the sect's classics? What he knew about the Black Dragon Kingdom was from the Records of the Black Dragon Kingdom.
"Brother Xue, please tell me." Xiao Ye's eyes flashed and he asked in a deep voice.
Xue Zhan said seriously: "The land we are on is called Magnolia Domain. It can only be regarded as a small island in the endless ocean. It is not even one percent of the True Spirit Continent."
"What? We are on a small island now?" Xiao Ye's eyes widened, and his heart was filled with shock.
"When I first learned about it, I had the same reaction as you. The martial arts in our Magnolia Territory are far different from those in the True Spirit Continent." Xue Zhan laughed.
"That's right." The king nodded and said, "Martial arts are vast. Our Yulan Domain's Xuanwu Realm is the end, but in Zhenling Continent, there have been four emperors of the human race, Xu Wu, Wang Wu, and Huang Wu, and there are countless powerful ones.
.”
"So the True Spirit Continent is the place that warriors of our generation yearn for. Any qualified strong man in the Magnolia Region who has reached a certain level of cultivation will go to the True Spirit Continent. For example, the master of the Chongyang Sect went to the True Spirit Continent.
." The king looked at Xiao Ye and said.
Xiao Ye's heart was filled with turmoil. This news was so shocking. Only now did he realize how narrow his vision was.
"Zhenling Continent, I, Xiao Ye, will definitely set foot on it one day!" Xiao Ye's mood became agitated, and a strong desire to explore emerged in Xiao Ye's heart.
However, his main goal at the moment is to obtain the inheritance of the Empress and aspire to Xuanwu. Otherwise, why would he go to the True Spirit Continent where the strong are outnumbered?
"I hope that you can promote the prestige of our Black Dragon Kingdom in the Empress's training ground and not lose to the young supremes of the Twelve Kingdoms." The king said, and finally looked at Xiao Ye.
"Xiao Ye, once the news of your mastery of the Empress's skills leaks out, you may become a public enemy, so you must be extremely careful." The king specially instructed.
Xiao Ye nodded. This kind of thing couldn't be hidden anyway. It would be exposed sooner or later, so he didn't need to care too much.
However, Xiao Ye did not notice that He Wudao had a cold smile on his face, full of conspiracy.
"Hmph, Xiao Ye, so what if you are stronger than me? The empress is doing hard training, and I must take revenge!" (To be continued)
