Chapter 141 Despair

The news of the martial arts competition between Chu Zhiyuan, the fourth son of the Great Jing, and Li Hongzhao, the ninth princess of the Great Meng, quickly spread throughout the entire Jade Capital City.

In the teahouses and restaurants of Jade Capital City, and even in the streets and alleys, almost everyone was talking about this martial arts competition.

People naturally became concerned about the two contestants.

One is the heir of Prince Qing, a peerless genius of the Great Jing royal family, who broke through to the Xiantian realm at the age of twenty, and crossed the Xiantian realm in a few months to enter the Grandmaster realm.

Such a genius is unheard of and unseen before.

Perhaps only those legendary figures can be compared to him, but the records of those figures are often too exaggerated, like legends, losing their authenticity, making people half-believe and half-doubt.

And the fourth son, this genius, is in Jade Capital, in Prince Qing's mansion, and can be seen with his own eyes.

This kind of visible and tangible legend makes them more interested.

Some time ago, this person also defeated Cheng Tianfeng, the first son of Great Zhen, at the palace banquet, winning without suspense and with great pleasure.

This Young Master Yuan is not only a genius in cultivation, but also a genius in actual combat.

The other one, Li Hongzhao, the ninth princess of the Great Meng, is also a legendary figure.

At a young age, she joined the Phoenix Sword Sect and became a true disciple of the Phoenix Sword Sect, and she also entered the Grandmaster realm early on.

Before Huang Shirong of the White Cloud Sword Palace entered the Grandmaster realm, Li Hongzhao was the youngest Grandmaster in the world.

Now, the two are about to have a martial arts competition outside the Qitian Palace.

Although everyone is eager for Chu Zhiyuan to win, Chu Zhiyuan has just entered the Grandmaster realm, while Li Hongzhao is already a Grandmaster.

The realm absolutely crushes Chu Zhiyuan.

The strength of each realm of a Grandmaster differs greatly.

They analyzed that Li Hongzhao is at least at the second level, while Chu Zhiyuan should only be at the first level, almost impossible to win.

This is a martial arts competition that is almost certain to be lost.

But since Chu Zhiyuan agreed, there should be some chance.

This morning, a phoenix cry alarmed the entire Jade Capital.

The news that Li Hongzhao had broken through to the third level of Grandmaster quickly swept through the entire Jade Capital City.

Cities are built on the grassland, and city walls are built to connect the cities.

Between the cities, there are also military towns.

Cities are built in key locations, and military towns are built in less important locations, forming a giant wall to block the Great Meng army.

Great Jing defends the city, restraining the power of the Great Meng cavalry.

Now, a military town has been breached, which means that a door has appeared on this hard wall, and the enemy can enter.

The Great Meng can enter the city through this military town, making the northern border a mere formality, and thus looting and destroying at will.

This is a major blow to the entire defense of the northern border, affecting the war situation between Great Jing and Great Meng, and its impact is far-reaching.

This great defeat made the people of Jade Capital unacceptable, the court unacceptable, and the wealthy and powerful unacceptable.

The Great Jing up and down increasingly hope that Chu Zhiyuan can win.

But Li Hongzhao of Great Meng broke through at a critical moment, taking it a step further, and has already secured victory.

They can't help but sigh, is this destiny?

Is Great Meng really invincible?

First, the emperor of Great Meng is wise and martial, rectifying the army and quickly improving the combat power of the Great Meng's Stepping Cloud Iron Cavalry, and then the royal family has figures like Li Hongzhao.

Is destiny in Great Meng?

"Big sister, big sister!"

Xiao Ruoyu was invited by Bai Yangqing, the young master of the Ren Guo Duke, to have lunch at a restaurant outside, and he heard the news shortly after he sat down.

He didn't even have time to eat, so he hurried back.

Xiao Ruoling was leisurely practicing her skills, and her progress was much faster than before.

Her true energy became more gentle and agile, and her impact on the Jade Tower was even stronger.

She felt that she was about to break through this layer of the Jade Tower and enter the eighth level of Xiantian.

This feeling of continuous improvement is particularly fulfilling.

Time passes by fulfilling, and life becomes more interesting.

This feeling is a subtle change.

She doesn't know whether it is because of the change in her state of mind after meeting Chu Zhiyuan, or because of the change in her true energy after Chu Zhiyuan helped her practice.

Or both.

Hearing the sound, she slowly opened her bright eyes.

Her eyes were calm and peaceful, and she looked lightly at Xiao Ruoyu who jumped up.

Xiao Ruoyu hurriedly said: "Big sister, something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Xiao Ruoling shook her head gently: "Look at how flustered you are, where is the demeanor of the young master!"

"Big sister, I don't care about demeanor now!" Xiao Ruoyu hurriedly said: "It's Li Hongzhao, I heard that Li Hongzhao has gone to the next level and entered the third level."

Xiao Ruoling frowned slightly,

Xiao Ruoyu said: "The outside is spreading like crazy, the whistling sound this morning was made by Li Hongzhao breaking through to the third level. She is practicing the supreme secret of the Phoenix Sword Sect, the Phoenix Cry Nine Heavens Art that has been lost for hundreds of years."

Xiao Ruoling thought thoughtfully: "The third level..."

"Young Master is only at the first level, right?"

"He just entered the Grandmaster realm, so he should be at the first level."

"It's already very difficult to win against the second level at the first level, but now it's completely over against the third level!"

If the martial arts skills are strong enough, you can win across the border, but this also has prerequisites.

One is that the gap in martial arts skills must be large enough, a top martial arts skill with deep fire, and a shallow martial arts skill with low fire, can cross the gap of the realm,

The second is that the realm gap cannot be too large, one level is already the limit, and two levels are almost impossible.

Li Hongzhao is in the Phoenix Sword Sect, and she is also practicing top martial arts skills.

Brother-in-law's martial arts skills are not much stronger.

What's more, Li Hongzhao is practicing the supreme martial art of the Phoenix Sword Sect, the Phoenix Cry Nine Heavens Art.

No matter what, brother-in-law cannot win.

"It's just a martial arts competition." Jian Ruoling shook her head gently: "There is no need to take a temporary victory or defeat too seriously."

"This is related to the hearts and morale of our Great Jing, and also to our face, how can it not be important?"

"What if we lose? There is no danger, and we will always be able to beat Li Hongzhao in the future."

"The future is the future, and now is now!" Xiao Ruoyu was unwilling: "If only brother-in-law could break through."

"Do you think the breakthrough of a Grandmaster is like the day after tomorrow!" Xiao Ruoling smiled.

Jian Ruoyu said: "Others can't do it, but brother-in-law may not be able to do it."

It is said that the Xiantian realm is difficult to break through, much more difficult than the day after tomorrow, but I have never seen him have much difficulty in breaking through, and he reached the Xiantian perfection in one breath in less than a year.

It is said that the road to the Grandmaster is difficult to find, and ninety-nine out of a hundred people will be stuck, even if they are not stuck, they will have to cultivate hard for several years or even decades.

Then he stepped into the Grandmaster realm at once.

These cultivation rules do not apply to him.

"Now that things have come to this, it is useless to think too much, just go to Qitian Palace to watch the battle tomorrow."

"… … … … … … Alas, okay." Jian Ruoyu saw that she was so calm, but she became more and more anxious.

I even dare not go to Qitian Palace tomorrow.

Xiao Ruoling turned her head to look in the direction of Prince Qing's mansion, her blurred eyes shining brightly.

So-called concern leads to chaos.

She said it nicely, how could she not worry.

Knowing that worry is useless, she still couldn't help but feel confused.

Chu Zhiyuan was standing in the small courtyard of the new house, practicing the Dragon Subduing Stance.

Infinite power was surging in his body, and the membrane of his body was like a giant net, trembling gently, vibrating all over his body,

As the membrane net vibrated, the flesh and blood of the body were constantly strengthened.

If you can't break through, then practice martial arts skills.

While refining the membrane, he was also experiencing the Great Heavenly Dragon Fist.

The Great Heavenly Dragon Fist has a total of nine fists, which combines the speed, power and subtlety of moves, and can be called the pinnacle of boxing, with amazing power.

He has super-sensing, but he cannot immediately understand all the mysteries.

The more he understands, the more he feels that he knows very little, and the mysteries are endless.

Through the subtle changes in the body when performing boxing techniques, his understanding of the essence of boxing is far more profound than ordinary people.

The deeper the understanding, the more he can exert its power, and the more he can exert its wonderful use.

A slight difference can lead to a thousand miles.

The same punch, used at this time and used at that time, has a world of difference in effect.

The same punch, the subtle difference in the movement, its speed and power are far different, and the power is far different.

Zou Fang whispered outside: "Young Master, the Princess Consort is here!"
