Chapter 120: Frightening Strength
Above these civil and military ministers. Hearing that verification is to be carried out, they all suddenly became nervous. In normal times, this kind of martial artist's verification might not have been of much interest to them, but now the situation is different. Even if they didn't know what had happened between Qin Li and the Crown Prince before, they could still see from the Crown Prince's body that he hated Qin Li.
The martial arts arena is located outside the west gate of the imperial palace, similar to the sports stadium in Qin Li's previous life, but with fewer seats, only around 10,000.
Every spring, the arena tournament is also held in such a venue, similar to the martial arts arena, and there are many in the imperial capital. This one belongs to the royal family and is the largest.
A group of high-ranking officials entered the noble box, and someone served them tea and snacks. This was a novelty for them, so their faces all wore relaxed smiles.
Crown Prince Zhao Xinghe walked to Qin Li's side, his eyes extremely indifferent as he glanced at Qin Li. He leaned in close to Qin Li's ear and said coldly, "You killing my subordinate will not be easily forgotten! Also, your name makes me very disgusted! If you're the same person as that one, I'll definitely treat you well!"
"What is Your Highness saying? I don't understand. Since I came to Qinglong Country, I have been law-abiding and doing business in a low-key manner. Previously, only those thugs from the Daqing Gang came to trouble me. Are those hoodlums from the Daqing Gang under Your Highness's command?" Qin Li said this without any reserve, speaking loudly.
The humming discussion in the martial arts arena suddenly disappeared, and the atmosphere suddenly became a bit tense.
"What are you talking nonsense about? It's inexplicable! What do you mean by telling me these things?" Zhao Xinghe's face turned red, his chest heaving slightly. He couldn't believe that this damned fool would dare to offend him so recklessly. With great hatred in his heart, Zhao Xinghe sneered at Qin Li with a twisted smile and said in a low voice: "Alright, you little brat, don't regret it later!"
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this? Are you threatening me? What's the meaning of 'you won't regret it'?! Qin Li was furious, his eyes bulging, and he glared at Zhao Xinghe, shouting: "I didn't expect a crown prince to be so lacking in dignity! Moreover, I don't even know where I offended Your Highness, yet you're always targeting me! This noble of the Green Dragon Country can just forget it! If this place won't keep me, there's another place that will!"
Fiercely saying, turning around and about to leave, Zhao Xinghe was so angry with Qin Qi that his blood rushed up, and he shouted: "Qin Li! I know it must be you! You dare to walk today, believe it or not, I'll immediately send someone to kill you!"
"Shut up!" Zhao Yuanli, who was sitting in the private room, originally didn't want to speak, but Prince Chao was getting more and more out of line, even directly and openly threatening Qin Li, with a thick disappointment flashing in his eyes.
The second prince, Zhao Xinghai, sat beside him and softly consoled: "Father Emperor, don't get angry and harm your body because of this."
"If only your elder brother were as sensible as you." Zhao Yuanli let out a soft sigh, then shouted loudly at the crown prince who was standing at a distance: "Get in here right now! The test is being arranged by others, what does it have to do with you?!"
Zhao Xinghe glared at Qin Li, then gave a signal to an eunuch before reluctantly returning to Zhao Yuanli's private room. Seeing his father's unpleasant expression and his second brother pretending to be obedient and filial by his side, he felt increasingly annoyed and said to Zhao Yuanli: "Father, I suspect that this Qin Li is the same Qin Li from Huangsha City."
"Nonsense! Can the people of Huangsha City speak with the accent of the Great Qi State? Although they are not much different in age, have you ever seen Qin Li's appearance? Zhao Yuanli coldly stared at his son and thought to himself that fortunately he also possessed earth-level strength and had a long lifespan. Otherwise, if he were to pass on the position to the crown prince, Qin Li would surely leave immediately! A talented martial artist with great prospects was thus missed. Xinghai is more sensible in this regard."
Zhao Xinghai advised from the side, "Big brother, although Qin Li in Huangsha City has a grudge against you, you can't vent your anger on all those who are called Qin Li. There are countless people with this name under heaven, could it be that big brother wants to kill them all? Zhao Xinghe's face was gloomy and he didn't speak, but in his heart he was cursing: Old two, do you really think I don't know what you're thinking? Humph, as long as I'm alive for one day, you'll never have this opportunity! Wait until the day I ascend to the throne... it will be you!"
At this time, a burst of silvery laughter suddenly came from outside, and the sound was very pleasant. Emperor Zhao Yuanli heard this sound, and his stiff face finally revealed a hint of a smile.
"Daddy, daddy, I'm here! There's something fun that you don't know about, and if you don't call me, your daughter will be heartbroken!" A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, extremely beautiful with fair skin, wearing a sky blue long dress, her raven-black hair slightly curly, falling on her shoulders, smiled and pushed open the luxurious private room door, walking in.
"Ah, both of you princes also caught the girl's eye," said the two elder brothers with a smile.
This girl is Princess Zhao Xiangxiang, who shares the same mother with Crown Prince and Second Prince, and also one of Emperor Zhao Yuans most favored princesses. It was all because of her that Eunuch Li brought people to catch the green fur cat.
"Hmm, Qianqian has arrived, this is not a trivial matter, it's Father Zhao's knife-sharpening day to recruit talents! Zhao Shili always doted on his youngest daughter, never scolding or reprimanding her, and this daughter was indeed well-behaved, without any arrogance or pride, and never had the airs of a princess."
"Hehe, who is this?" Princess Zhao Xuanxuan said with a smile, looking down. At this time, the other side had already set up the equipment to test the warrior's level and was waiting for the Emperor's order before Qin Li could begin the test.
"It doesn't seem like he's much older than me either." Zhao Xiangxiang said casually, "What's so special about him that Father Emperor values him so much?"
Zhao Yuanli smiled benevolently and said: "Just wait and see! His strength is much stronger than yours!"
Zhao Xuanxuan looked dissatisfied, pouting and saying: "I'm already a little genius, okay?"
"Haha, my daughter is a great genius! A great genius!" Zhao Yuanli laughed.
"Hmph, it's only natural!" Zhao Xuanxuan pouted and sat down beside Zhao Xinghai. She was closer to her second brother, as the eldest brother, being the crown prince, always had a stern expression on his face and was too proud. Zhao Xuanxuan wasn't very fond of being around him. This year, at the age of 14, she already possessed sixth-grade Xuan-level strength, although it was true that she had consumed many kinds of spiritual medicine, her innate talent was indeed not weak either.
So, seeing that Father Emperor said that person was more formidable than himself, Zhao Xixi felt a bit unconvinced in her heart and stared unblinkingly at the young man below.
"Can we start now?" Qin Li's vast divine consciousness. He knew everything that was happening in the luxurious suite next door, so he wasn't anxious either. Seeing that everyone was ready, he casually asked a sentence.
"Good, let's get started!" The eunuch who had obtained permission nodded at Qin Li.
Qin Li stared at the red testing device in front of him, which looked like a shield. He concentrated his mind, took a deep breath, and suddenly let out a loud shout. A blue light burst forth from his body, and he swung his arm, punching the red testing device with great force.
As a blue glow burst forth from Qin Li's body, Princess Zhao Yuyue's mouth slightly opened, staring at the young man in shock and incredulity.
Bang!
A loud crash echoed throughout the entire martial arts arena.
"Rank: Earth Level, Seventh Order!"
Qin Li stood there with a smile on his face, as stable as a mountain, like a victorious general waiting for cheers.
Ah!
A burst of irrepressible exclamation suddenly came from those boxes.
Zhao Xuanxuan widened her eyes and stared blankly for a while before stammering: "Father Emperor, are you sure he is human?"
The second prince's eyes shone with excitement, and he kept muttering to himself: "I've found treasure, I've found treasure!"
Zhao Yuanli also jumped up from his seat, shouting: "What a genius!"
Wow!
A warm round of applause came from all directions, accompanied by many people's uncontrollable cheers.
The face of Crown Prince Zhao Xinghe was unpredictable, and he had to admit that he had underestimated this person. He didn't expect him to be a seventh-level martial artist of the earth level, Lightning Knife Sun Liu, and the brothers of the War Knife Hall who died unjustly! However, his hatred for Qin Li in his heart had already reached an unbearable level, thinking that this son of a bitch had ruined his big deal! Moreover, it was no longer possible for him to be used by me, so I must get rid of you!
Zhao Yuanli turned his head and took a look at his daughter, smiling and saying: "How about it, my dear daughter, have you conceded this time? Little"
Zhao Xuanxuan giggled: "Father Emperor, I wonder what kind of spiritual beast he transformed from, otherwise how could he be so powerful?"
"Go, stop talking nonsense. What spirit beast transformation, transformed spirit beasts are at least heavenly level strength!" Zhao Yuanli smiled and rubbed his daughter's nose, then said: "Now, who will test Qin Li's true strength? Who is willing to offer themselves?"
"Your Majesty, I have come to try."
An aged voice, made everyone present feel a chill in their hearts. As high-ranking officials of the imperial court, those heavenly-grade cultivators were naturally not unfamiliar to them. And the person speaking was none other than Dusty Cold, one of the fifty-four heavenly-grade cultivators within the imperial family!
Phoenix Lake explored the ancient ruins, resulting in heavy casualties. Dust was also depressed for a long time, but as a top-notch ninth-tier warrior, throughout the Qinglong Kingdom, everyone who knew him did not dare to disrespect him! Qin Li heard this voice and his heart moved, thinking Zhao Xinghe, you're amazing! You actually had the audacity to bring out this big shot!
To know that Chen Yihan is in Phoenix Lake, apart from feeling humiliated, he also deeply resents those lowly martial artists who took away the Black Water Originating Cow!
Moreover, as a top-notch high-ranking expert, he was just one step away from breaking through to the Broken Sky Realm, and his divine sense was also extremely powerful! An ordinary person, even if they were to disguise themselves, would not be able to conceal their aura from such a strong expert.
In the luxurious private room, Zhao Xinghe was also sneering coldly.
