Three days later, Fang Chen followed the people from the Luo Clan to the Imperial City.
In the blink of an eye, it had been three years since they had arrived in the Golden Crown Nation. This was Fang Chen's first time in the imperial city.
The Golden Crown Nation's imperial city was extremely glorious and heavily guarded.
Under the lead of the Luo family's head, they quickly arrived at a garden. In the center of the garden was a temporary martial stage. It was obvious it had been specially set up for this friendly spar.
Seeing the Luo family's people arrive, a middle-aged man quickly walked over. He chuckled, "Luo family head."
"Director Wang, where's the king?" asked the Luo family head.
"The king will be here soon. You can wait here for a moment," said Director Wang.
The Luo family head nodded slightly. Then they all sat in the prepared seats, waiting for the king to arrive.
A moment later, the king arrived.
"Haha, Luo family head, I trust you've been well since we last met." The king was a middle-aged man with a tall and sturdy figure. He was clearly a powerful martial artist.
"King." The Luo family head greeted the Golden Crown Nation's king. Fang Chen was secretly sizing up this king.
"This must be the third prince. He really is a talent."
The Luo family head saw a young martial artist behind the king. His entire body was emitting a terrifying aura.
"Since everyone's here, then let the friendly spar begin," said the third prince expressionlessly.
"Alright, let the friendly spar begin." The king laughed and then sat down.
Next was the competition between the Luo family's younger generation and the imperial family's younger generation. In the blink of an eye, the two sides had already fought dozens of rounds.
In these dozens of rounds, both sides had won and lost some. They were evenly matched.
However, in the eleventh round, Luo Liuli's red dress finally attracted everyone's attention. Especially the third prince. When he saw the incomparably beautiful Luo Liuli, his eyes lit up.
"It's the Luo family's Luo Liuli."
On the side of the Imperial Family, the younger generation whispered among themselves. A moment later, a man with a cold expression appeared on the martial arts stage.
"Let me, Jin Jiang, fight you," said Jin Jiang coldly.
Jin Jiang was one of the elites of the imperial family's younger generation. With him fighting Luo Liuli, the imperial family's side felt there was no suspense. They would easily win the competition.
"Alright."
Just as Luo Liuli finished speaking, a red figure suddenly flashed. The entire martial arts stage was covered in red.
At the same time, Luo Liuli clenched her fists and gathered all the strength in her body before suddenly punching towards Jin Jiang.
"Courting death."
Seeing this, Jin Jiang coldly snorted. A long spear appeared in his hand. The body of the long spear had a wild aura as it pierced towards Luo Liuli.
Swoosh
Under everyone's gaze, just as Luo Liuli's fist was about to touch Jin Jiang, it suddenly changed direction, causing Jin Jiang's spear to miss.
"Yes."
Seeing this, Jin Jiang's face was filled with rage. Holding the long spear in his hand, he once again attacked Luo Liuli.
At this moment, in the royal family area, the Third Prince saw this scene and shook his head slightly. "Jin Jiang is going to lose."
It wasn't just the Third Prince. Even Fang Chen could see that Luo Liuli's strength had increased by a lot. If it was before the opening of the Divine Illusion Space, Jin Jiang's strength would have no problem defeating Luo Liuli. But now, he clearly wasn't Luo Liuli's match.
After an intense battle, Luo Liuli finally found an opportunity to land a heavy punch on Jin Jiang's face, sending him flying.
"Luo Liuli wins," the referee loudly announced.
Jin Jiang was forced off the martial arts stage. There was a bruise on his face, and a trace of fury flashed in his eyes. But with the king and the Third Prince present, he didn't dare to be rash.
After Jin Jiang lost, the Third Prince was still as calm as ever. To him, there wasn't a single cultivator in the Luo Family's younger generation that could enter his eyes.
The reason he had issued this challenge this time was to suppress the Luo Family's limelight and let them know that the royal family's strength wasn't something they could imagine.
After Jin Jiang lost, it was the Third Prince's turn to take the stage.
The Third Prince's appearance caused an uproar in the garden. When the younger generation of the royal family saw the Third Prince take the stage, their faces were filled with excitement.
On the other hand, in the Luo Family's area, everyone's faces were solemn when they saw the Third Prince take the stage.
"Liuli, you're not my match. Go down." Perhaps because Luo Liuli was a woman, the Third Prince looked at her and said softly.
"No one in the Luo Family loses without a fight." Although Luo Liuli was a woman, her fighting spirit wasn't any weaker than a man's.
Hearing Luo Liuli's words, the Third Prince's face finally darkened.
Suddenly, a wild aura emanated from his body, instantly filling the entire martial arts stage.
Feeling this wild aura, some of the weaker young cultivators in the garden couldn't resist and retreated one after another.
Seeing this scene, Fang Chen's face changed and he roared, "Liuli, you're not his match."
Just as Fang Chen's voice fell, a cracking sound came from the martial arts stage. Luo Liuli's delicate body was sent flying by the Third Prince's punch.
Whoosh!
Seeing Luo Liuli being sent flying, Fang Chen's figure flashed and he caught Luo Liuli, who was about to land on the ground.
"The Third Prince wins," the referee announced.
This sudden scene shocked everyone. Countless people of the younger generation looked at the Third Prince on the martial arts stage in shock.
The Third Prince's strength was too strong. They didn't even see how he attacked and Luo Liuli lost.
"Too strong. The Third Prince is indeed a warrior who joined the Southern Mountains. He's not someone the Luo Family's younger generation can compare to."
"That's right. Even Luo Gong of the Luo Family can't defeat the Third Prince."
"The Third Prince came back this time to suppress the arrogance of the Luo Family's younger generation."
"The Third Prince is too strong. If only I could leave the Golden Crown Nation and join the Southern Mountains."
In the Royal Family area, many of the younger generation had set the Third Prince as their goal. Looking at the Third Prince's imposing figure, they were extremely excited.
"Next."
The Third Prince's voice entered everyone's ears. His eyes carried a hint of provocation as he looked at the Luo Family area.
Boom.
Luo Gong walked onto the martial arts stage. Staring at the Third Prince, he said, "Although I, Luo Gong, know that I'm not the Third Prince's match, I still have to fight because I'm a man of the Luo Family."
"The Luo Family's younger generation is only so-so."
As soon as the Third Prince's voice fell, his figure suddenly flashed and a wild aura erupted from his body. In the next moment, the Third Prince clenched his fist and punched out. Suddenly, a thick stream of flame magma appeared in the sky. Under the Third Prince's control, the flame magma instantly condensed into a magma fist.
Crash.
The magma fist was incomparably hot, as if it wanted to refine the entire martial arts stage. It floated above the Third Prince's head, and under the Third Prince's control, it shot toward Luo Gong at a speed not visible to the naked eye.
"What kind of cultivation technique is this?" This was also the first time Fang Chen had seen such a tyrannical attack. A fist could actually produce flame magma.
Fang Chen possessed the Concept of Flame, so he could sense the fire-element aura in the air explosively increase. The temperature of the surrounding air also rapidly rose.
"Fire Origin Qiankun Fist!" The Luo family head's expression changed as he cried out.
"Family head, you know about the Third Prince's fist technique?" asked Fang Chen.
"The rumors are true. The Third Prince has joined a major power in the Southern Mountain Range. At the beginning, I also didn't know what power the Third Prince had joined, but now I know," said the Luo Family head.
"In the Southern Mountain Range, amongst the many major powers, there is a Sect called the Flame Sect. That Sect is extremely powerful, and it is one of the peak sects in the Southern Mountain Range.
"Within the Flame Sect, there is an ultimate technique that causes martial artists to tremble in fear. It's called the Flame Source Qiankun Fist," continued the Luo Family head.
Hearing this, Fang Chen also understood. The fist technique the Third Prince was using was the Flame Source Qiankun Fist, a peak power in the Southern Mountain Range.
"What a tyrannical Flame Source Qiankun Fist!"
Fang Chen sighed inwardly as he looked at the Flame Source Qiankun Fist.
In the past, Fang Chen hadn't known anything about the Southern Mountain Range. But now he knew a little. If the Third Prince from the Golden Crown Nation was so powerful after learning the Flame Source Qiankun Fist, then just how strong would the Flame Sect's peak disciples be?
At this moment, Fang Chen's heart was filled with fighting spirit. His thoughts had already drifted to the Southern Mountain Range.
On the martial arts stage, when the magma fist landed on Luo Gong's body, Luo Gong's attack instantly crumbled and shattered.
BANG!
Luo Gong's body flew back and crashed to the ground. There was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. His clothes had been burned away by the lava fist, and there was a terrifying scar on his stomach.
"Third Prince is very strong. I, Luo Gong, admire you." Luo Gong slowly stood up and clasped his hands towards the Third Prince.
"Who else is there in the Luo Clan?"
At this moment, the Third Prince was filled with arrogance. His body emitted a scorching aura, and his eyes were filled with lava flames as he looked at the Luo Clan's area.
Even Luo Gong was defeated. Was there anyone else in the younger generation of the Luo Clan?
"Even Luo Gong was defeated. No one in the younger generation of the Luo Clan can defeat the Third Prince."
"That's right. The Third Prince alone can suppress the younger generation of the Luo Clan."
"This is the demeanor of an expert. This is the peak of the younger generation. Looking at the Third Prince's strength, I feel that the Golden Crown Nation's Nine Princes are a joke."
"The Third Prince's strength is definitely on the Martial Marquis List."
"Yeah. If the Third Prince wasn't in the Southern Mountain Range, he would have been on the Martial Marquis List long ago." In the Royal Clan's area, many of the younger generation were discussing.
At this moment, even the King was looking at the Luo Clan's area.
The Luo Clan's Head felt everyone's burning gaze, and his face was filled with a bitter smile. He immediately turned his head and looked at Tie Niu.
"Tie Niu, it's all up to you." The Luo Clan's Head said in a low voice.
Fang Chen nodded his head. He took a step forward and slowly walked onto the martial stage.
