Chaotic Conceited God

At this moment, the northwest of the Great Willow Palace, within a kilometer radius of the huge training field, was already bustling with noise and excitement.    

The Martial Arts Practice Field was surrounded by a ten-meter-tall, grayish-black wall. On the west side of the training field, there were more than twenty thousand spectators!    

The vermilion entrance was set up at the south side of the training field. Wave after wave of people entered through the gate. Under the guidance of the beautiful palace maids, they sat in the empty seats to the west.    

Under normal circumstances, the training field was where the elite soldiers of the Great King Ming Dynasty practiced martial arts. However, the people here today were the civil and military officials, the royal family, and the well-known and influential families of the Great King Ming Dynasty.    

The reason was simple, it was the day of the annual martial arts competition between the younger generation of the Great Liu Dynasty!    

The competition between dynasties was an extremely high level competition in the Great King Ming Dynasty. It represented the most powerful fighting strength of the younger generation of the Great King Ming Dynasty. At the same time, it also represented the potential for the future development of the Great King Ming Dynasty.    

Even though everyone knew about the empires' martial arts competition, there were only a handful of people who were able to spectate. Being invited to the empires' competition was the supreme glory of these thirty thousand people.    

At the center of the gigantic training grounds at the east side, there was a huge drum that was ten meters in diameter and five meters in thickness. The gray surface of the drum was made from the skin of a Level 9 Vicious Beast, the Raging Rhino.    

Around the gray drum's surface, there was a circle of white lines that looked grand and simple. If one looked carefully, there was a stream of light moving up and down on it.    

The first test of today's competition was to let the young martial artists fight the battle drums without using any martial skills. The white lines would change color according to the strength of the attack, and finally, from the more than one thousand young geniuses participating in the competition, the strongest eighty people would be selected and would enter the next round of the competition.    

Strength was the purest manifestation of an outstanding martial artist's potential. The first battle in this empire competition was a heavy beating on the battle drum. It was simple and brutal!    

The judges of the competition this time around were nine Omnipotent Experts.    

There were nine people seated at the front of the spectator seats on the west side of the Martial Arts Practice Grounds. On the left side, the Minister of Public Affairs, the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of War, the Minister of Justice, and the Minister of Industry had all gathered!    

On the right were three black robed elders who were sitting in a luxurious position. They were the people who had the highest authority in the kingdom.    

It had to be known that regardless of whether it was the Six Division's Elders or the Imperial Guards, they all held supreme authority within the dynasty. It had to be known that regardless of whether it was the Six Division's Elders or the Imperial Guards, they held supreme authority within the dynasty.    

Aside from these nine mysterious figures, there were also various powers and clans in the spectator stands. The higher their position was, the higher their position was.    

At the front row of seats, the three Patriarchs of the Liu Family, Lin Family, and Song Family were already seated. Behind them were many Patriarchs, stewards, and juniors.    

Among these juniors, those with superior talent and qualifications were already eager to give it a try.    

However, the complexions of the three clan masters were not very good because in front of them, there was still a large area of empty space. However, they did not have the qualifications to sit there.    

Because that was the position of the Ye Family!    

"What's so special about Ye Family?"    

One of the Lin Family's younger generation, who had the right to participate in the tournament, saw that the Ye Family had not yet arrived and was putting on an act.    

When the elder at the side heard this, he frowned, and lowered his voice: "Haoran, don't speak nonsense. The current Ye Family is no longer the Ye Family from back then, we cannot afford to offend them!"    

Of course, they could not afford to offend Ye Family. Ye Lingyun, who was currently sitting together with the rest of the five scrolls, was the head of the Punishment Department, Big King Ming. He was the Patriarch's younger brother!    

This was because Ye Lingyun had already surpassed her in terms of power and Ye Family. Unexpectedly, her daughter Ye Xi had also risen to prominence like a phoenix, surpassing all the other geniuses within the Four Great Clans.    

What's more, Ye Xi was even engaged to Ninth Prince, a top figure in the Great Wu Iron and Steel Dynasty. Her status would once again grow, and in the future, her cultivation resources would become richer and her cultivation would also grow further and further away from the younger generation of the three great families!    

Because of this, the three Patriarchs were furious, but they did not express it.    

Right now, they absolutely could not afford to get into conflict with the Ye Family anymore. On the contrary, they would have to fawn over them with all their might.    

Lin Haoran naturally knew what the old man's words meant, but he didn't believe the rumors he had heard. He still said unhappily: "Could it be that even Brother Zetian can't compare to that woman?"    

The old man shook his head in disappointment.    

Lin Haoran no longer said anything, but it could be seen that he was not convinced at all. He only knew that it was useless to say anything more, thus he chose to keep silent.    

"Quick, look."    

Just at this time, someone pointed towards the southern gate and saw a group of people dressed in black robes slowly walking towards the spectating area. It was the higher ups of the Universal Chamber of Commerce.    

The middle-aged man in the lead had a black goatee, and he returned the greeting with a refined smile. Finally, he sat in front of the spectator's seats.    

Although Universal Chamber of Commerce were the shops that sold warriors' items, in reality, it was because there were countless strong practitioners within the Universal Chamber of Commerce that it could be spread throughout the entire Great King Ming Dynasty. It was the most powerful in the history of the Great Liu Family, so the power of Universal Chamber of Commerce definitely could not be underestimated.    

Following which, a few other powers also came over. However, the next group of powers attracted the gazes of the vast majority of the crowd.    

He saw that the group of people wore the same black tight clothing, and the only person in the lead was a woman. She wore a gorgeous fiery-red qipao, which was especially eye-catching in the crowd.    

Her delicate arms were like lotus roots, and her snow-white long legs were also exposed. Although she covered her mouth and nose with a red bandage, just by looking at her long eyelashes and long narrow eyes, one could tell that she was extremely flirtatious and flirtatious.    

This woman, was none other than the City Lord of Underground Imperial City, Ji Hongling!    

Legend has it that because her appearance was too beautiful, she never easily displayed her unparalleled beauty in front of the crowd. But because of this, more and more people started to admire her.    

Those young disciples of the large families were all hot-blooded to begin with. When they saw such a charming Ji Hongling, their eyes couldn't help but widen. Although they had long heard of the beauty of the Underground Imperial City's City Master, when they saw it with their own eyes, they still couldn't help but feel excited.    

However, not long after Ji Hongling led her Underground Imperial City subordinates to sit down, a group of people walked in from outside the door, attracting everyone's attention!    

This group of people were all wearing blue and blue embroidered suits. The leader of the group was a middle-aged man with a resolute expression as he strode in with large strides. Beside him was another woman.    

Her facial features were exquisite, and her face was pretty. Her black hair lightly fell against her waist.    

She did not intentionally reveal her identity and merely walked forward in a curvy line. However, her body gave off a cold and noble aura. She was clearly wearing the same cyan and blue tight clothes as the others, but she inadvertently became the most conspicuous one!    

Moreover, everyone could still feel a natural momentum coming from her, as if her spirit and her body were one!    

The person who came was Ye Xi, the rising rookie of the Great King Ming Dynasty and reputed to be a proud daughter of heaven.    

Just a week ago, she had already broken through to the eighth level of the Mortality Transcending Stage, the Gui Yuan Realm!    

"Hiss …" "I never thought that this Ye Xi would be so dazzling. The moment she appeared, she enchanted all of us." Some of the disciples sighed.    

"Nonsense, you think? My Ye Xi not only bore the weight of her beauty, she even reached the eighth level of Mortality Transcending Stage a few days ago! How many times have you seen a sixteen year old Origin Convergence Stage cultivator?    

Someone said proudly: "My Ye Xi has a special physique, she has a Wind Spirit Body, her body's agility is far beyond ordinary people, and she is a sword genius, coupled with the agility of her Wind Spirit Body, her sword aura is released instantly, it is so fast that it's invisible, and her strength is also extremely terrifying, who can compare to her?"    

The Wind Spirit Physique was a special type of physique, and Ye Xi was born with such an outstanding physique.    

Hearing that person's analysis, the other person looked at Ye Xi's beautiful figure and smacked his lips helplessly. "So, goddess, you don't have to be so strong, okay?" Give me a chance to catch up with you and pursue you! "    

"Scram. If you want to daydream, then do it. Don't block my line of sight." The person behind him directly pushed the man in front of him away. After which, he began to admire the enchanting figure in the arena in a relaxed and relaxed manner.    

When the Ye Family was seated, all the spectators had already arrived.    

Only after that did everyone turn their gazes towards the north side of the stage, waiting for King Ming's arrival!    

Thirty-four black and gold wooden chairs were placed at the side of the high platform. Thirty-four princesses of varying beauty were sitting on them, waiting for King Ming's arrival. Yang Xuerong was sitting right in the middle of them.    

Due to the Pure Gold Blood Lingzhi, the lung disease that Yang Xuerong had suffered from for many years had been completely cured, and she had come out of her misery. But now, even though her face was smeared with rouge, she was still unable to hide the dimness in her eyes.    

Two months ago, Ming Yu went missing without a reason in King Ming's court. Yang Xuerong searched everywhere in the palace, but she couldn't even find Ming Yu's shadow.    

She wanted to go to the imperial court crazily. Although King Ming was in closed-door training, she still painfully knelt outside the Heroic Soul Hall for a day and a night, begging King Ming to show up and meet her.    

Yang Xuerong's mood had always been unstable. At this moment, when she saw the crowd gathered below the stage, saw the lively young men and women, and recalled that Ming Yu was at their age, she disappeared without a reason …    

The depressed feelings in his heart surged to the surface once again!    

With a 'shua' sound, Yang Xuerong's tears flowed uncontrollably. She lowered her head and choked with sobs. Due to her heartache and excitement, she subconsciously clenched her hands in front of her legs, her nails digging into her flesh but she was completely oblivious.    

Although Yang Xuerong had tried her best to hide her sorry state, she was still discovered by some of the sharp-eyed princesses beside her.    

They had also heard of Yang Xuerong's matters. Some people didn't care about their own matters and kept them aloof, but there were still a few consorts who couldn't bear it any longer and were prepared to step forward to console her.    

"Don't worry about her."    

Consort Lee, who was dressed beautifully, sat to the side and said coldly: "A son who cannot achieve even the slightest success, if I see him angry, if he loses it, so be it, what is there to cry about? "Yang Xuerong, don't you see how the occasion is going? Do you still cry and act like a consort?"    

When these words were spoken, all the other princesses who wanted to step forward and comfort her fell silent.    

They knew that Yang Fei had offended Consort Lee long ago, and Consort Lee was someone who stood on the queen's side. With the queen's backing, it could be said that Yang Fei had been put in a terrible spot for the past few years.    

This already made them feel sympathy, but who would have thought that just two months ago, Yang Xuerong's child was also lost.    

As mothers, they could understand Yang Xuerong's feelings at the moment. But who told her that her son couldn't even become a martial artist? Even if he disappeared, no one would care about it. How sad.    

Feeling the pitying gazes from the surroundings, Yang Xuerong felt even more sad and helpless. But even so, no one would care about her anymore.    

Right at that moment, a wind blew past. Immediately after, an extremely powerful aura came pressing down on the entire martial arts practice field.    

Everyone raised their heads to look, only to see a figure flying over from the top of the city wall, landing on the platform.    

It was a man wearing a golden dragon robe. Although he was fifty-four years old this year, his short hair was black and shiny. There was not a single strand of white in his eyes.    

He merely put his hands behind his back and stood on the tall stage. He did not give off any aura, but he seemed to become the focus of the entire crowd, the center of thirty thousand people.    

King Ming, Ming Chenyuan!    

Everyone in the west wing stood up. With a "Hua" sound, they all kneeled on one knee. A loud and clear sound resounded throughout the entire training field.    

"We pay our respects to King Ming. King Ming is valiant and valiant. He has been reigned throughout the world, and he can rule it for all eternity!    

"Rise." Ming Chenyuan waved his hand and sat on the dragon throne made entirely of gold in the middle of the stage, looking down at everything below.    

"Thank you, your majesty!" Everyone got up and sat back down. Everything seemed to be in order. In their hearts, King Ming was like a god. Whether it was his words or his actions, they were all very respectful.    

The other thirty-four princesses stood up at the same time and returned to their seats.    

"Hmm?"    

With Ming Chenyuan's cultivation, he only noticed the crying Yang Xuerong in an instant. When everyone saw her, they thought that it was because of something he did. Thus, they frowned and asked, "What are you crying for?"    

For Ming Chenyuan, this face was a bit unfamiliar, but when he thought back carefully, it did indeed seem to be the face of a wangfei.    

"..." "No, no."    

Yang Xuerong wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes in a flurry. When she saw Ming Chenyuan's resolute face again, Yang Xuerong couldn't help but be moved. This was her husband!    

However, she knew that the distance between her and Ming Chenyuan was getting further and further apart. Ming Chenyuan was the king of the dynasty, the ruler of the world.    

She couldn't cry because she couldn't leave any bad impression in Ming Chenyuan's heart. When the competition ended, she would pray for Ming Chenyuan to find Ming Yu.    

Although Yang Xuerong knew that the chances of this happening were slim, if she didn't try her best to numb him with this kind of attitude, how could she bear the pain of losing her son!    

"Pay attention to your appearance." Ming Chenyuan frowned.    

"..." "Yes." Yang Xuerong answered with her head lowered.    

Ming Chenyuan turned around and no longer looked at Yang Xuerong. He spoke to the west side of the audience. His voice was obviously not loud, but it clearly spread to the whole Martial Arts Practice Grounds and entered everyone's ears.    

"The competition of empires has lasted for fifteen years. Generations of martial artists have appeared. I hope that this year's competition will still bring us some surprises. As for the rules for the competition, the Military Department's President, Mu Lang."    

"This humble subject is here." A middle-aged man at the front of the audience stood up and bowed his head as he replied.    

"You are in charge of everything."    

"Yes sir!"    

As the head of the Military Department, Mu Lang was mainly in charge of managing the army. In the past, he was the one in charge of the military affairs.    

Mu Lang cleared his throat and stood up: "The competition is divided into three rounds, the top eight will receive a throat sealing reward, and the first place will be rewarded with three hundred Elemental Condensation Pill, a level eight mystical weapon, a set of Golden Equipment and a High Grade Martial Technique of Spirit Level!    

"Hua …"    

Hearing about this kind of reward, everyone sighed. They never thought that the prize for first place in the competition would be so bountiful. The value of these items would definitely not be less than ten million Black Jade, it might even be better than that!    

Mu Lang raised his hand to silence the crowd. He continued, "Everyone, please listen to me. I believe that many of you have come to spectate this year's competition. We have changed the contents of the first round."    

Pointing to the huge battle drum placed on the east side of the training field, Mu Lang continued, "This battle drum is made from the skin of a Raging Rhino. Pointing to the huge battle drum placed on the east side of the training field, Mu Lang continued saying:" This battle drum is made from the skin of a Raging Rhino.    

"But today, we will use beating drums as the first competition, and according to the strength of the drums, the sounds of the drums will become louder, and the patterns around the drums will change color from shallow to deep. Amongst the thousand or so participants selected, we will select the eighty with the best result and enter the second round."    

After Mu Lang finished his sentence, the audience immediately broke out into a flurry of discussions.    

The rules of the first round were quite complicated, but this year's round was quite simple. Many complicated steps were omitted.    

"Silence."    

Mu Lang's voice sounded again, "Because time is limited, let's not talk too much. I will now announce the official start of the XVI Dynasty competition of the Great King Ming Dynasty!"    

"In one year, after a thorough investigation and a comprehensive evaluation, we selected 1025 juniors under the age of 18 from the list of participants. Then, those that I call out, stand behind me."    

Among these 30,000 people, there were many powerful forces. Since they were invited here, it meant that some of their younger generation had been selected as candidates!    

"Liu Family, Liu Songming, step forward …"    

Mu Lang took out a book and read it out loud. Soon after, those who read the name stood beside him in a line under the watchful eyes of the crowd.    

Wu Junhui's speed was very fast, but in the time it took for two incense sticks to burn, all one thousand two hundred and twenty-five people were counted. None of them were older than eighteen years old, and they were all young warriors that people called geniuses in the Great Liu Dynasty.    

At this moment, the young men and women who were selected were in high spirits as they puffed up their chests. Being able to participate in the empire martial competition was in itself a form of high recognition!    

As expected, Ye Xi was chosen. However, she didn't feel too excited. Instead, she felt that it was only right.    

People like Ye Xi, who were confident enough to enter the top 80, were complaining. The first round of the examination was likely to be held in the afternoon, wasting their time.    

"Next, we will recommend fifty-seven people from the royal family."    

As Mu Lang chanted, 57 more people walked out from the audience seats and joined the team.    

Mu Lang finally looked at the side of the high platform respectfully. Because King Ming's children were waiting here, they were the princes and princesses who would naturally stay until the very end of the stage.    

"The First Prince of the Great Liu Dynasty, Ming Cheng, please."    

"Prince King Ming, Ming Dong, please."    

Like this, Mu Lang first read out the prince's name, and then a prince walked up from the side with his head held high and chest out, joining the queue. As long as it was a prince before the age of 18, they would all be called out.    

After chanting the name of Prince Sixteen and seeing him join the team, a helpless smile appeared on Mu Lang's face.    

"Great Wu Iron and Steel Dynasty's Seventeenth Prince, this way please."    

His voice echoed throughout the entire martial arts training ground, but no one walked out from it at all. A hint of disdain surged in the eyes of Ye Xi who was in the arena.    

'Impotence is impotence. Even if you are sharp-tongued, you still won't be able to gain any face for yourself. '    

"Great Wu Iron and Steel Dynasty's Seventeenth Prince, this way please."    

Yang Xuerong, who was standing at the side of the stage, heard the name of her son and her entire body started to tremble. Originally, if Ming Yu was hiding at home, it wouldn't matter if she lost face, but now, her child had gone missing!    

Hearing the two words "Ming Yu", the other princes and princesses couldn't help but shake their heads and chuckle. That good-for-nothing, where did he hide himself this year? Forget it, he was just a good-for-nothing who didn't even have the qualifications to cultivate.    

According to the rules, only princes and princesses had the right to participate in the competition. Only then would Mu Lang repeat himself, but in reality, it was just a symbolic repetition.    

"Great Wu Iron and Steel Dynasty's Seventeenth Prince, Ming …"    

"Stop reciting it..." Stop reciting it... I beg you... "Okay …" Yang Xuerong finally could not take it anymore. She had completely collapsed!    

The two times there was no response, Yang Xuerong's last shred of hope was completely shattered. She knew that Ming Yu would never come back. Her hope to live, her motivation to survive, all disappeared with Ming Yu.    

Yu, don't be sad. Tonight, Mother … I just came down to keep you company...    

Yang Xuerong's tears fell like rain, but her desperate expression, in the eyes of Consort Lee beside her, showed how happy she was!    

Everyone looked at Yang Xuerong's appearance and shook their heads. That Ming Yu was indeed a coward. His trash had even caused trouble for his mother, causing the whole of King Ming Dynasty to lose face. He was like a piece of shit that broke the pot of porridge!    

Mu Lang could no longer bear to watch and said, "Because the designated contestant was unable to participate in the competition. I declare that Great Wu is facing Seventeenth Prince and Ming Yu …"    

"Who says I won't participate?"    

A loud and clear voice came from outside the scarlet door, interrupting Mu Lang's words and echoing throughout the entire training field.    

In the next moment, everyone turned to look at the gate.    

The sound of footsteps could be heard from outside the door as the sounds of approaching footsteps could be heard. Following which, the scarlet door was kicked open with a bang. The silhouette of a youth appeared in front of everyone's eyes!
