Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hall.
The girl listened attentively for a while, then a trace of doubt appeared on her face: "Why are you walking so fast? Did something happen on the school grounds?"
A moment later, the panting female officer rushed into the hall and saluted the girl hastily: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the young Marquis has become a grandmaster on the ring!"
The girl's eyes flashed with surprise: "Niu Wanjin actually put so much pressure on him? Did he make him break through before the battle?"
The female officer took a breath and continued: "Then I was defeated by Niu Wanjin."
"Um?"
The girl was stunned.
The female officer stroked her chest with her hands and said eagerly: "It's absolutely true, that Niu Wanjin sent half of the ring flying with one punch, and the young Marquis lost in a daze."
The girl is still in a daze.
The female official said anxiously: "Did you hear that, Your Highness? This time the champion is the ox ten thousand catties. What...what should we do!"
...
...
...
Royal Palace Campus.
Chu Fan slowly withdrew his move, secretly calming down the surging energy and blood in his body.
He had almost used all his strength in the blow just now, so after the blow, he was a little out of strength just like Cheng Hu who had taken the 'Qi Ji Powder' before.
Ahem...
At this time, there were bursts of coughing sounds in the corridor.
Many ministers were choked by the smoke and dust that had just been stirred up. They were coughing and looking at Chu Fan on the ring in fear.
"How can it be?!"
"Xia Ying, who became a grandmaster, lost?"
"Even the arena collapsed..."
Cheng Hu, Yang Jue and other warriors all stared at Chu Fan on the stage, the expressions on their faces changing.
Obviously, no one expected such an ending, so the smoke and dust gradually dispersed, but everyone was still immersed in shock.
On stage.
Chu Fan, who had regained his composure, calmly glanced in the direction of the rising dragon shadow in the palace in the distance, then glanced at the emperor on the throne and breathed a sigh of relief.
"really..."
From the surprised expression on the emperor's face, he knew that the emperor had not discovered anything.
This was also what he expected, because he knew that he could not control the divine weapons in the acupoint refining stage, and Emperor Daqian, like him, was only in the acupoint refining stage.
The scene of him activating the talisman in the competition just now must have been noticed by Daqian's divine soldiers, but the emperor knew nothing about it.
It is easy to understand why this situation occurs.
Just like when Chu Fan encountered a sudden crisis, he had to rely on the Yuguang Mirror to actively protect his master, because he, who only had the cultivation level of the Aperture Refining Stage, could not control the Yuguang Mirror through his spiritual consciousness.
Same reason.
The Yuguang Mirror cannot transmit many subtle information to him through his spiritual consciousness, so until now, he has not figured out the extent of the damage to the Yuguang Mirror.
In short, there is a life-level gap between the monks in the orifice refining stage and the divine weapons.
Therefore, even if a primary and secondary relationship is established between the two due to various reasons, the monks in the orifice refining stage will not be able to fully master the divine weapons, let alone fully exert their power.
This was true for Chu Fan, and so was the emperor of Daqian!
Wow...
At this time, Xia Ying, who was buried by the collapsed rubble of the arena, got up.
Looking around blankly, he murmured: "Did I lose?"
Xia Ying's whisper woke everyone up. Only then did everyone realize that the winner of this competition had been decided, and the champion of martial arts was born!
The eunuch approached the emperor respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, it's the ox ten thousand pounds that wins."
The emperor who came back to his senses looked at the collapsed arena, laughed and said: "Reward!"
Chu Fan saluted the emperor from afar and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally got the Zhu Guo!"
Soon, the ministers who were in a panic just now in the corridor, with different expressions, dusted themselves off one after another and sat back at their seats.
Xia Ying walked out of the school in despair, completely losing the high spirits she had when she broke through to the Grand Master.
After a while, a eunuch came to Chu Fan carrying a briefcase covered with brocade cloth.
Suppressing his excitement, Chu Fan opened the brocade cloth with a normal expression, looked at the application form, and found that there were no red fruits at all on the application form, only a set of gorgeous brocade robes, a gold medal symbolizing the number one scholar in martial arts, and a gold medal.
A royal jade pendant that can pass through the imperial city.
Seeing Chu Fan in a daze, the eunuch smiled and said: "Wu Zhuangyuan, you still don't thank me!"
Chu Fan had no choice but to accept the entrustment first and thank the emperor on the throne.
The emperor smiled and said: "We will hold a banquet tomorrow, and the top scholar Wu will also come!"
After saying this, the emperor stood up and led a large group of eunuchs and guards to leave the school grounds.
Before Chu Fan could recover, the ministers in the corridor, as well as Yang Jue, Yan Shuang and other warriors gathered around and congratulated him.
Chu Fan, who was holding a tray and standing in the crowd of congratulators, was a little confused and said to himself: "Where is the promised Zhu Guo?"
I don’t know how long he had been here before Chu Fan left the palace with a sullen expression.
Along the way, everyone's attitude towards him changed drastically, but no one mentioned Zhu Guo.
Seeing Chu Fan leaving the palace, a group of people rushed to greet him.
The leader first bowed respectfully to Chu Fan, and then said: "Sir, my subordinate's name is Su Yang, and he will be your official from now on."
Chu Fan nodded absently.
Su Yang continued: "Are you going to Jufulou to pick up your luggage now, or are you going back to the Princess Mansion directly?"
Chu Fan glanced at Su Yang: "What princess mansion?"
Su Yang quickly explained: "The Princess Mansion is naturally your current residence, but Her Royal Highness Princess Longguo is still in the palace at the moment and will not move into the Princess Mansion until after the wedding."
"Then it should be called Prince Consort's Mansion, right?"
Chu Fan cursed in his heart and didn't worry too much about this issue. Anyway, he didn't really want to marry Princess Longguo.
After sending away the other attendants and leaving only Su Yang, Chu Fan no longer had any worries and asked directly: "Zhu Guo, when will your Majesty reward me?"
Su Yang smiled and said, "Sir, don't be impatient. The red fruit is a sacred object for me, and it has auspicious and festive meanings. Your Majesty will naturally give the red fruit to you and His Royal Highness on your wedding day."
"What?" Chu Fan asked again, "When will the wedding take place?"
Surprised by Chu Fan's eagerness, Su Yang was startled for a moment before replying: "The first day of next month is an auspicious day, and your wedding to Her Royal Highness is scheduled for that day."
"The first day of next month...isn't that thirteen days from now?"
Chu Fan squinted his eyes and counted the days, and found that the wedding happened to be one day before his life was over.
Su Yang suppressed the strange expression on his face at this time and said with a smile: "I can understand how you feel. Being able to marry Princess Long Guo is a blessing that has been cultivated in eight lifetimes!"
Chu Fan walked forward without saying a word, thinking in his heart: "Trouble, I don't want Princess Dragon Fruit, I just want Zhu Guo!"
