Chapter 339
“Hehe, it’s really funny, indeed, this country, is still very new and tacky, of course, His Highness Prince can think of a test like this.” SuLang’s voice was low, but clear enough for ChenMing, as well as the rest of the audience, to audiences who are holding their breath at the young man’s words.
“Ohhh”
ChenMing was not surprised, as he could already guess what the reaction of the young master in front of him would be, he did his homework by reading the candidates profiles before that night, and this young man is famous for being arrogant, and he doesn’t like him.
BaiYing who was sitting where he was could also hear those words clearly.
“Master Shin, did Master Shin hear what that person said? Does he just insult us? This can’t be allowed.”
He had almost stood up from his seat had it not been for Elder Yi’s voice to stop him.
“Keep calm XiaoYing, Prince Chen knows what he is doing”
“But old man, how can such a person become a minister, he insults XinHua”
.....
Whereas BaiYing who was said to be level-headed said that ChenMing would be carried away by emotions, however, it was he who did not He couldn’t stop himself from getting angry, he was annoyed at hearing the young man’s arrogant words, his ass was itching to stand up from his seat.
ChenMing smiled, he was very calm, he had expected the people from the NoRon clan to be known to be strong and arrogant, to not easily submit to anyone, he didn’t expect the clan to send a candidate, so he didn’t really like the young man in front of him even though that person already came out victorious, but, this young man looks promising, he thought.
“Then, according to this Young Master Su, what is the final proper test to be given, before you take up the position of this country’s junior Defense Minister?” he asked quietly.
SuLang looked around, he saw all the high ranking officials and tough soldiers under Commander FaLu and Royal guard advisor MeMa, all people who looked very tough, and those people were willing to serve the skinny King who was sitting on a chair that was too big for him even.
“Hey, how about I have a chance to see His Majesty the King’s combat ability, which everyone thinks is the strongest among all these people, this, is very unlikely right? Forgive Servant, for being so curious about that.”
Hearing SuLang’s words that were too presumptuous, everyone held their breath, even MeMa was already furious and almost stepped forward to attack the young man if she didn’t remember Prince ChenMing was in front of that person.
“Insolent!” the girl clenched her fist in emotion.
BaiYing, who was at a loss for a moment, turned to ShinYa.
“Eh Master Shin, does it mean, did he just challenge Ying to fight with him?”
ShinYa nodded.
“It seems like that, Your Highness.”
BaiYing puffed out his mouth, he opened his palm.
“Heh, it’s been a while since Ying hasn’t practised Ying’s fire, but Ying don’t know how to fight,” The young man thought hard.
Elder Yi smirked.
“Heh, that young man doesn’t know how deep the river he has crossed, he.” casually the Old-Young man take a sip of his tea.
Once again ChenMing smiled, he looked at the long sword that had been in his hand for a long time.
“Hehe, young man, you don’t know what you’ve said, challenging our Viceroy? Heh, you won’t be able to pass MeMa alone, and you, dare to challenge our Viceroy, hehe, this is very funny, but, to satisfy your curiosity, which is full of high imagination, if I don’t remember you have passed all the exams, I won’t bother doing all this either, hem, let this Prince relax my muscles, it’s been a long time since I fought seriously either, I’ll make this very easy for you, if you could stand my attacks in five moves, then you win.”
SuLang looked at ChenMing, swallowed hard, the look in ChenMing’s eyes wasn’t what he expected but, this It’s going to be a lot of fun, he thought as he prepared with his long wand.
“Please forgive my impertinence, Your Majesty.”
The two people were already standing in the centre of the field, preparing to bring out their martial arts skills. SuLang attacked with his long sharp tip spear, while the very confident ChenMing only blocked the youth’s attack with the sword still in its hilt.
Dust flew as the two people whose movements were quite fast were jumping here and there, ChenMing with a stance that had only been going forward and taking back a step, while SuLang looked so excited that he didn’t stop to charge towards him.
BaiYing who was sitting in his place was starting to feel bored, the battle of those two people, is there anything more interesting than this? He thought, he didn’t like sitting around in class let alone watching such performances, ChenMing seemed to be playing with the young man on purpose.
“Brother, it’s getting dark, Ying hasn’t chosen a Foreign Minister yet, can’t we hurry it up?” BaiYing exclaimed. ChenMing could hear the youth’s voice very clearly.
“Kid, don’t be noisy”
SuLang finally had a chance to attack as ChenMing caught his breath while busy muttering, his long spear aimed at ChenMing’s neck, almost hitting him, even though SuLang was only aiming for the side it would still be very dangerous if the tip of the long spear hit his neck, ChenMing welded, backed away with his body lightening skill quite a distance, part of his hair was slightly cut off by the tip of SuLan’s extraordinarily sharp spear.
ChenMing’s eyes went wide.
“Insolent” he almost gets hit, immediately the young prince held back with his sword pushed and stopped while holding the spear with his scabbard. A loud sound was heard as the two weapons clashed.
“Ting!”
And this time ChenMing didn’t want to hold back anymore, he pushed back SuLang’s spear and the young man advanced quickly, not letting the young man take a breath let alone think, in an instant ChenMing stomped his foot pushing SuLang’s body until it hit the wooden peg of the stands.
Brukk!
“Ouch Big Brother” BaiYing complained, his brother could make the stands that were built temporarily for today’s state event collapse.
“Ah!” The young man moaned, but that only made his eyes sharper, he released his inner strength stomping ChenMing away from him.
“Eh, Hiatt!” although he was injured the young man was far more stubborn with the look in his eyes. ChenMing was unable to withstand the attack of his profound energy, the young man had a very strong foundation of internal energy, he aimed the tip of his spear many times making ChenMing move extra to avoid SuLang’s attack.
“That youth has strong determination,” said Elder Yi.
“His Highness Prince Chen has grown very far, his inner strength has increased by multiple times from the last time we fought against half-demon creatures,” continued ShinYa.
BaiYing smiled, of course, ChenMing grew stronger, his older cousin was determined to protect him at all costs, day and night practising and meditating, he was very proud of him, even though he always bothered him, but he cared for him very much.
ChenMing turned his body, aiming his sword at SuLang’s back, but the young man moved swiftly turned his body wide open his two legs sliding past ChenMing’s hands. He almost turned his body and attacked ChenMing while he was still in position, but didn’t expect ChenMing to flip so fast and strike SuLang’s chest, sending his palms, crashing the young man hard onto the ground, sliding quite a distance.
“Ah!”
The young man stopped when his body hit the wooden pegs of the stands, BaiYing who couldn’t wait to get up from his seat saw the youth who was under the stands on the other side, exhausted with a dirty face and a little bloody mouth.
“Fhuh”
BaiYing widened his eyes big, looking at ChenMing who still had time to clean his dusty clothes.
“Heh, what a mess”
“This big brother” BaiYing wanted to grumble, but ChenMing’s eyes looked at him big, that brother of him, he really used his ability to test the young minister candidate, by the way, it wasn’t called as testing anymore, but more to teach a lesson.
ShinYa helped BaiYing straighten up and sat back in his seat, behaving gracefully like a King.
“Your Highness”
ChenMing smiled, he looked at SuLang who was struggling to get up, at least to sit down.
“Hehe sorry, this young prince is too excited, heh, it’s been a long time since I fought, it feels like all muscles are starting to stiffen, so I can’t control my strength”
SuLang tried to stand up with the help of his wand which had slipped from his hand, but, his eyes widened, realizing the creaking sound of the stands above him whose stakes were broken by the very hard blow of his body.
“Kretek kretekk”
The young officials who were on top of the stands rushed downstairs in a panic.
“Heh, this is getting really messy,” BaiYing grumbled.
Elder Yi still looked so calm enjoying his tea even though people were already panicking across them.
“Heh this is why the palace is supposed to hold the event in the field without any spectators, this is really troublesome”
