Chapter 246: Chapter 245: You Guys Are Bullying Too Much (Third Update)

All the warriors present looked at Lin Bai in utter astonishment upon hearing Qi Rui’s words.

"What? A Yellow Level First Grade Martial Spirit."

"Did the first princess really choose a loser with a Yellow Level First Grade Martial Spirit?"

"My God, a Yellow Level First Grade Martial Spirit. Isn’t that even worse than me?"

"Hahaha, this is hilarious, a Yellow Level First Grade Martial Spirit."

Many warriors began to ridicule Lin Bai after their initial surprise.

Upon hearing the mockery from the warriors, Chen Gong lowered his head in silence, whispering, "Lin Bai, you’re good at everything. It’s just this Yellow Level First Grade Martial Spirit... Ah... Life is unfair!"

"Tsk tsk!" Yi Han sneered disdainfully upon hearing this. Upon learning that Lin Bai was a Yellow Level First Grade Martial Spirit wielder, he didn’t even bother to ridicule Lin Bai.

Because at this point, Yi Han didn’t even regard conversing with Lin Bai worthwhile.

"Hahaha." Wan Xia looked at Lin Bai and started to laugh uproariously.

Other warriors, the geniuses of the military and the Four Major Sects, all burst out laughing, bending over with laughter.

Lin Bai stood silently on the spot, his entire body like a block of ice, filled with a dense, lingering murderous intent.

His eyes gradually turned blood-red, a desire for bloodshed seeping out from within him.

For some reason, time in Lin Bai’s eyes had gradually turned blood-red...

"Kill!"

"Kill them all!"

"Kill them all!"

Lin Bai clenched his teeth tightly, spitting out these words through gritted teeth.

Bai Xiaoxiao’s face was calm as she took a step closer to Lin Bai, her jade hands clasping his.

Feeling Bai Xiaoxiao’s soft and smooth hand dispelled Lin Bai’s murderous desire.

"Don’t be afraid, I’m here." Bai Xiaoxiao reassured him softly.

There was no change in Bai Xiaoxiao’s expression. She remained dignified and confident as ever.

Bai Xiaoxiao declared, "I chose Lin Bai! Whether he is a Yellow Level First Grade Martial Spirit or a God-level Martial Soul, since he is my choice, I will follow through with it without any hesitation."

"My choice will never change, and it won’t ever change in the future either."

Bai Xiaoxiao declared firmly.

Qi Rui roared, "You chose a good-for-nothing with a Yellow Level First Grade Martial Spirit over me!"

"Yes." Bai Xiaoxiao replied to Qi Rui without hesitation.

Squirt——

Hearing Bai Xiaoxiao’s firm reply, Qi Rui literally spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed onto his seat.

The Qi Prince hurriedly ran over, administered a few pills to Qi Rui, then glared at Bai Xiaoxiao in displeasure, saying in a cold voice, "First Princess, aren’t you being too bullying with your actions?"

Bai Xiaoxiao replied indifferently, "My choice. How can you say I’m bullying you?"

"Father, father, I want to kill him, I want to kill him!" Qi Rui clutched the Qi Prince’s arm, yelling madly.

The Qi Prince looked deeply at Lin Bai, his body radiating an intense, icy aura.

"Good, good, you’re all very good!" The Qi Prince gritted his teeth and said.

Bai Xiaoxiao’s choice of a Yellow Level First Grade Martial Spirit over the little prince, Qi Rui, was a direct slap in the face for the Qi Prince.

What if your Qi Prince’s Mansion has millions of soldiers?

What if you, Qi Prince, currently control the military?

What if you, Qi Prince, could reach the heavens?

"My choice, my destiny, is in my hands. How can others interfere!"

Upon seeing the Prince and Qi Rui in such a state, Bai Huatian felt a great sense of satisfaction. He downed a glass of wine, and with a grin, said, "That’s my daughter right there!"

"Lin Bai, that name sounds somewhat familiar."

The Chief Eunuch recalled, "Your Majesty, you’ve forgotten. It’s that warrior that the Fifth Princess was wailing about and wanted you to put him in death row just a few days ago."

"Ah, the man who hurt my fifth child." Bai Huatian replied with a faint smile.

"Interesting."

Bai Huatian gently smiled, "Now that the choice has been made, let’s begin."

"Yes," the Chief Eunuch responded promptly. With a wave of the Dust Whisk, he loudly announced, "Princes and Princesses, ladies, and gentlemen. The Spirit Pearl will appear shortly."

Lin Bai’s mind gradually stabilized, dispelling the bloodlust in his heart and eyes.

"First Princess, what should I do?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

Lin Bai had no idea how to seize the Spirit Pearl, so he asked.

Bai Xiaoxiao, gazing at the Shanhe Ding, said, "When the Spirit Pearl bursts forth, the Shanhe Ding will suppress the cultivation of all warriors to the First Level of Earth Martial Realm. Then, it all depends on everyone’s abilities."

"The Shanhe Ding can suppress cultivation?" Lin Bai exclaimed in astonishment.

Bai Xiaoxiao smiled, "Yes, this is the second reason why Prince Qi and the Xu Family dare not act recklessly, and why this arguably unnecessary Heaven Worship Ceremony is conducted at every Year-end Tail Sacrifice."

"This is a demonstration of power!"

Bai Xiaoxiao explained with a laugh.

Prince Qi commanded the military, boasting a million-strong army, while the Xu Family held substantial influence throughout the kingdom.

Yet despite their immense power, they still didn’t dare to take that critical step, to threaten the royal family’s status, for two reasons.

First, the Old Prime Minister of Shenwu Kingdom, Bai Xiaoxiao’s grandfather, was still undergoing the Life and Death Pass. No one knew whether he was still alive.

The Old Prime Minister led the Ten Kings of Shenwu within the territory of the Shenwu Kingdom. His power was formidable to the point where even if the Sect Leader Supreme of the Canghai Yuntai Palace and Zhao Xiansheng joined forces against him, they wouldn’t necessarily be able to kill him.

The second reason was the Shanhe Ding.

The Shanhe Ding, a seventh-grade Spiritual Tool, was naturally powerful. Still, it also had an intimidating ability: when activated, it could suppress the cultivation of all warriors within a thousand kilometers.

If Prince Qi and the leader of the Xu Family dared to risk their lives by disrespecting the Royal Family, Bai Huatian could directly activate the Shanhe Ding, suppress Prince Qi’s cultivation down an entire realm, and then killing Prince Qi would be as easy as turning his hand.

Theoretically speaking, since the Royal Family has such a strong deterrent, why would they tolerate the overbearing attitudes of the Xu Family and Prince Qi?

Because the Royal Family was afraid too. What if Prince Qi and the leader of the Xu Family were driven into desperation and fought to the death? Even if the Royal Family managed to kill both of them, their subordinates’ rebellion could destroy the Shenwu Kingdom in an instant.

If the Shenwu Kingdom were embroiled in internal strife, the other Martial Arts Empires surrounding them would definitely be delighted.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, the Royal Family was unwilling to completely fall out with Prince Qi and the Xu Family.

A bloodless solution would be the best.

Bai Xiaoxiao continued, "The Spirit Pearl is a spiritual object created by the Shanhe Ding, condensing the power of heaven and earth and the Qi of Shenwu Kingdom’s dragon vein. Although it has no attributes, it contains extremely pure energy from heaven and earth."

"Getting one could allow a warrior of the Earth Martial Realm to easily break through a realm."

"It’s extremely precious."

Bai Xiaoxiao quietly said.

"I understand; that means, when the Shanhe Ding erupts, our realms will be suppressed, and then it all comes down to who has stronger abilities." Lin Bai responded with a faint smile.

Hearing these rules made Lin Bai feel confident.

"Within the same realm, I am the king!"

Lin Bai laughed coldly in his heart.
