Chapter 297: Chapter 297 Xia Biluo

And thirdly, the exemption admission list of King Star Academy and General Star Academy.

After the award ceremony, representatives from the two top academies will announce the list of exempted admissions.

This is what the participants of the Eight Palaces Martial Tournament look forward to the most!

Especially since this edition of the tournament is different from the previous ones.

During the competition, Ye Fan and Chi Shen had already extended invitations to two prodigies. Such occurrences are extremely rare!

Moreover, these two prodigies came from the same academy, and they are siblings.

This made everyone somewhat anticipate their choices.

What if one chose King Star Academy and the other chose General Star Academy? Wouldn’t that lead to a situation where siblings face off against each other in the future?

After all, King Star Academy and General Star Academy have been rivals for a long time.

"The competition of the Eight Palaces Martial Tournament has ended today; let us congratulate True Martial Academy for winning the laurel!"

Xu Qing announced loudly.

Although they did not defend their title and only received fourth place.

But as the host, how could he not show some magnanimity?

Everyone left the venue one after another.

It was still early, and as soon as Ling Chen and the others returned, Mo Han gathered everyone for a small celebration feast.

With Taiyi Academy’s concession, the Eight Palaces Martial Tournament finally came to a close.

The fates of Ling Chen, Ling Wu, and Ye Zhenzhen had already been determined.

Thus, only the award ceremony was left.

However, for most people, this award ceremony was inconsequential; the only thing worth looking forward to was the mysterious award presenter.

During True Martial Academy’s celebration, Zi Lingyang arrived.

He had not expected Ling Chen to be so powerful and to have such an astonishing background.

To be a disciple of the Arrow God.

Both from noble families, although the Jiang Family had conflicts with Ling Chen, the Zi Family had a good relationship with him.

He had not expected that in the initial competition for the Star Soul Fruit for Ling Er, he would make the acquaintance of such an exceptional prodigy like Ling Chen.

Many people were quite familiar with Zi Lingyang.

Thus, Zi Lingyang also joined them at the table.

The main character of this celebration feast was undoubtedly Ling Chen.

It was Ling Chen’s victory over Jiang Wusheng and Zhao Tianwu that laid the foundation for the victory.

As a result, the remaining competitors admitted defeat very straightforwardly during the subsequent matches.

Mo Han and others toasted to Ling Chen.

Meanwhile, the news of True Martial Academy’s championship spread throughout Taiyi Prefecture. Almost all cultivators were excitedly discussing this event.

And naturally, Ling Chen became the most eye-catching prodigy!

First killing Jiang Wusheng of the Jiang Family, then Zhao Tianwu of Taiwu Academy, and finally emerging unscathed; such dazzling and brilliant achievements naturally became the most frequently mentioned topic among countless people.

Even many cultivators who missed that day’s competition deeply regretted it, lamenting that they did not witness Ling Chen’s extraordinary demeanor.

Regrettably, afterwards, Ling Chen never made another move.

They could only watch Ling Chen’s figure in the subsequent matches, imagining the grandeur of that day. Perhaps in their lifetimes, they might never again have the chance to witness Ling Chen’s invincible elegance, which caused countless people to sigh with regret.

The moon sets and the sun rises.

A day quietly passes.

When the first rays of the morning sunlight fell, Taiyi Prefecture once again became lively, with boisterous sounds soaring into the sky, numerous people heading towards the Star Luo Riverbank.

Today was to be the closing ceremony of the Eight Palaces Martial Tournament.

An opportunity to see the mysterious award presenter and find out which prodigies would luckily enter the two major academies.

Two hours later, Ye Fan, Chi Shen, and the cultivators from the Eight Great Academies finally appeared.

"Please stay calm, the mysterious guest was delayed on the road a bit, but they will arrive soon."

Xu Qing came out to explain.

"What kind of big shot is this guest, having more grandeur than the last General Star Academy’s Palace Master?"

Some cultivators who had witnessed the previous Eight Palaces Martial Tournament expressed their dissatisfaction.

Previously, the General Star Academy had always arrived on time.

But this time, the guest was late, simply disregarding them.

"Shush! Better to speak less, waiting a bit longer is not a big deal, but it wouldn’t be good if someone overheard us. Anyone qualified to be the mysterious guest definitely possesses great power. They are not someone we can afford to offend!"

Someone consoled.

Many people found this quite reasonable.

Ling Chen and the other geniuses were not concerned at all.

Being the top students of their respective academies, they were not the type to be impatient, and they did possess some endurance.

"Whoosh!"

A quarter of an hour later, a wind-breaking sound came from the east.

"Here it comes!"

Numerous people revealed excitement, looking up at a golden stream of light shooting towards them.

The golden light moved extremely fast, crossing the sky in almost the blink of an eye, then hovering above the ninth heaven.

At this moment, all eyes turned towards the golden figure.

As the glow of Spiritual Power dissipated, the figure within was revealed.

He was a young man of about twenty, dressed in a golden python robe, with a tall stature, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and facial features so finely carved they were vivid and handsome. There was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, and he exuded an aura of a superior.

"Sorry, I am late."

The young man spoke, his voice magnetic.

"Greetings to the Crown Prince!"

Ye Fan and Chi Shen immediately greeted the young man with a fist salute.

"What, the Crown Prince?"

"He is the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty?"

"Is the Crown Prince the mysterious guest?"

...

The cultivators watching felt their hearts filled with shock.

"Greetings to the Crown Prince!"

Realizing who he was, the crowd also greeted the young man.

"Is this Prince Xia Biluo who possesses the Sacred Body?"

Ling Chen was momentarily stunned, his gaze fixed intently on Xia Biluo.

He could not sense this person’s cultivation level.

And, regarding the burst of Spiritual Power he had just shown, it was only at the first level of the Primordial Pill Realm.

Obviously, this bearer of the Sacred Body, who was highly esteemed by Lin Fuyao, couldn’t be so weak.

He must have a treasure that conceals his cultivation level!

"Everyone, please, no need for formalities!"

Xia Biluo smiled and said, "Initially, my father intended to come over himself. However, he recently had a breakthrough in his cultivation and has gone into seclusion. Therefore, he sent me to come."

Upon these words, the crowd erupted with exclamations anew.

"What, His Majesty almost came here himself?"

"My goodness, His Majesty is paying such attention to an Eight Palaces competition?"

"His Majesty is really eager for talented individuals!"

...

"Breakthrough?"

Ling Chen murmured softly.

His focus was different from the others.

Previously, he learned from Liu Qingcang that King Xia’s cultivation was at the second level of the Palace Mansion Realm, and now there’s another breakthrough, could it be at the third level now?

"It seems I need to put in double effort!"

Ling Chen thought inwardly.

The higher the cultivation, the more difficult it is to break through.

As King Xia’s cultivation keeps rising, he must accelerate his own, to narrow the gap between them.

"Alright, I was slightly delayed on the road, so I am late, please forgive me!"

Xia Biluo gave a slight bow towards the direction of Ye Fan and Chi Shen.

His status was the Crown Prince, but he was also a student of the Champion Academy.

And, Ye Fan was an Elder of the Champion Academy, and in a way, his senior.

Being the Crown Prince, it was important to show respect to one’s seniors.

"The Crown Prince is too polite. It’s already an honor that you could spare the time to come here, how could we possibly blame you?"

Ye Fan replied with a smile.

"Thank you, Elder Ye, for your understanding."

Xia Biluo smiled slightly and said, "Is the award ceremony about to start? Then shall I present the trophy to the Champion Academy?"
