Chapter 207
On the palace wall, the emperor of the Xia Dynasty closed his hands. It was imaginable how nervous he was.
Princess Crimson Moon was his pride and joy. He expected a lot from her.
It was to his surprise that she had been pushed to this point in the first fight of the second round. His confidence had been shaken.
“Emperor, don’t worry. With The Queen of Night Descends, Princess Crimson Moon will definitely win,” General Xue Jingtian said.
“That’s true, but…”
The emperor thought of all of the mystery surrounding the masked man. He wasn’t so sure.
By then, the red glow had disappeared. Many people were eager to see what had happened.
After confirming that Jiang Chen wasn’t using his holy awareness as his eyes, the energy given off by Princess Crimson Moon completely extinguished. She turned around and intended to leave the ring.
As she approached the edge, the spectators were becoming more and more surprised.
The masked man would soon advance!
“Wait.”
Just then, the masked man stopped Princess Crimson Moon and threw the two ribbons back to her.
Princess Crimson Moon caught them one by one and angrily waved her hand to throw the second one back. She said in a rage, “It’s yours, since you like it so much!”
Then she jumped out of the ring. Jiang Chen had advanced to the next round.
Since the spectators in the square had anticipated this result, they didn’t exclaim exaggeratedly, but they were in heated discussion. They were surprised by the masked man’s strength and were speaking scornfully to Wind Mark’s supporters.
Chu Luo was beaming. Meng Feifei’s expression made her even more satisfied.
Jiang Chen, who had defeated three consecutive enemies, tossed the red ribbon up, then wound it around his palm casually. Then he jumped out of the ring.
He had been the first one to accept a challenge. Although his fight was over, others were still in the middle of their second round.
He had enough time to recover and look over what he had learned in these three fights.
The emperor paled when he saw the very thing he had been worried about become true. He glanced at the old man in the gray robe and was about to say something, but to his surprise, the old man suddenly stood up and flew over to the square.
“My young friend,” he stopped the masked man, smiling at him.
It happened so suddenly that people were stunned, but the royal family didn’t stop the old man, although he was meddling so brazenly. It wasn’t hard to see that he must be an important person.
Many people laid their frenzied eyes on the masked man.
“Senior, what do you want?” the masked man sounded calm.
“I only have one question. How old are you?” the old man asked.
Many people had anticipated it. They held their breath.
“Under 30, as the competition has required.” It seemed the masked man didn’t understand why he had been asked this.
“Haha.”
The old man in the gray robe smiled and said, “If you are under twenty, you’ve already got the opportunity to study at the Sacred Institute.”
The crowd became exuberant, especially the participants. Those who were still fighting in the rings stopped to see how it would end.
How old could the masked man be?
If he was so powerful at an age under twenty, he deserved to study at the Sacred Institute.
“Senior, I want to earn the place by fighting with my own strength.”
Many people felt sorry for his answer.
They thought the masked man was only giving a respectable answer since he was over twenty, but no one noticed him glance at the Third Prince.
If I stop here, how will I kill you?
