Chapter 37: The Third Prince of the Holy Dragon Empire
The young heroes from the four countries were already lined up. The strong young man wearing dragon-embroidered brocade clothes walked past their queue and looked at each young hero one by one, mainly to see if they had any stored magic weapons on their bodies.
When the young strong man from the Holy Dragon Empire came to Princess Yun Shang, he obviously took a second look. Just like other boys when they saw Princess Yun Shang, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes that could not be concealed.
However, he was not distracted, but nodded politely to Princess Yunshang.
Princess Yunshang naturally smiled back, but she was thinking in her heart that judging from the clothes of this strong young man, he should be a prince or grandson of the Holy Dragon Empire.
This young strong man from the Holy Dragon Empire has a handsome appearance and a gentle face. He walks very slowly. Although he looks at every participating representative with a smile, everyone feels at this moment that they are under his gaze.
Underneath, all my secrets seemed to be revealed.
Compared with the young representatives of the Four Kingdoms, this young man from the Holy Dragon Empire appears more mature, calm, and wiser. He already has the demeanor of an adult, and also has the calmness and majesty of a truly strong man. He is even more mature.
She has the same noble temperament as if she was born with Princess Yunshang.
Facing this young and powerful man, Princess Yunshang seemed quite calm, but Zhirou next to her turned red after being glanced at, and lowered her head shyly.
The same is true for the female monks from the other three countries.
If beautiful and noble girls are men’s nemesis, then handsome and noble men can also make girls’ hearts sway.
"No problem, let's get ready to go."
The young strong man walked aside in front of the teams of the four kingdoms, and returned to the entrance of Kirigakure Inn. Then he waved his hand and continued: "This competition will take three days. As for how we will arrange these three days.
, it all depends on everyone’s own coordination and discussion. After three days, I will check everyone’s harvest and announce the results.”
After finishing his words, the young powerful man took the two accompanying monks who also looked at the young monks and turned around to enter the Kirigakure Inn.
The young and talented representatives from the four countries did not hesitate, and immediately rushed towards the forest not far away, and soon they disappeared without a trace.

In the Kirigakure Inn, the proprietress was still in her private room, and the master shopkeeper was taking a nap at the counter as usual. It seemed that the competition between the heroes of the four countries had no impact on them at all, and they were not interested in it at all.
Only Lehua was carefully serving the three young men from the Holy Dragon Empire in the lobby on the first floor.
"Third Prince, there are not many outstanding young heroes in the four kingdoms. I'm afraid I won't have much fun coming here this time."
A young monk who looked to be about twenty-five or six years old was holding a wine glass and said with a lack of interest.
"Ling Bin, you don't know something. These four affiliated kingdoms are too close to Heiyun Yang and are always harassed by demonic masters. The land is also eroded by demonic energy all year round. It is normal that they cannot cultivate particularly powerful young men.
However, the twenty young heroes sent by the Four Kingdoms this time would be at least average in our Holy Dragon Academy, and the three spiritual-level heroes among them would also be regarded as such in Holy Dragon Academy.
For the elite.”
The third prince, who was wearing brocade embroidered clothes with dragons, shook his head and explained with a slight smile.
"In fact, I have heard of the spiritual-level heroes among them before."
Another young monk answered: "Liang Peng from the Blackpool Kingdom and Jian Yu from the Capricorn Kingdom were actually students of our Holy Dragon Academy. When they were at Holy Dragon Academy, they were also regarded as key cultivation targets.
, It’s just that these two people’s temperaments were too different from ordinary people, and they repeatedly violated the rules in the academy, so they were expelled from the academy. They should have been invited by the academies in their respective kingdoms to focus on training after they returned home.”
"If this is really the case, it is indeed a pity. If they could stay safe at Holy Dragon Academy, they would probably be stronger now."
Ling Bin was a little surprised at first, and then asked curiously: "Lei Hao, who is the other spiritual-level hero?"
"The other one is Princess Yunshang of the Piaoyun Kingdom. She should be eighteen years old this year. Her cultivation level is above the fifth-grade sword spirit. She has been invited by the Holy Dragon Academy. Unfortunately, she refused to enter the Holy Dragon Academy for further study.
It is really puzzling to choose to stay at Piaoyun Academy in Piaoyun Kingdom because of the opportunity. Could it be that in her eyes, our Holy Dragon Academy is not as good as Piaoyun Academy?" Lei Hao, with a square face, explained patiently.
"Maybe she is in love with her family, or she may be interested in supporting the academy of her own kingdom. She is a princess of a country. If she went to Holy Dragon Academy, wouldn't the young monks in their kingdom who can be considered geniuses be even more attracted to Holy Dragon Academy?
"
The third prince smiled and said: "Everyone knows very well that Holy Dragon Academy is the cradle of our Holy Dragon Empire's masters. More than 80% of the young masters who came out of Holy Dragon Academy are used by the empire. This is also the case among major
The important reason why there are fewer and fewer masters from the affiliated kingdom."
"Yes, for countless years, Holy Dragon Academy has played a vital role in the reason why our Holy Dragon Empire has stood firm and prospered forever." Ling Bin agreed.
"Among the heroes of the Four Kingdoms, I think Princess Yunshang is the strongest, and she should be able to advance to the sword sect before she is twenty years old. If there is guidance from an expert, she will probably be stronger than us in the future."
Lei Hao sighed and said: "It is really a huge waste that such a young master with unlimited potential cannot be used by our Holy Dragon Empire!"
"Hehe, actually this is not difficult. No matter what, she is from a daughter's family and will get married sooner or later. It doesn't matter if she doesn't want to come to Holy Dragon Academy now, as long as someone from our Holy Dragon Empire marries her."
While Ling Bin laughed dryly, he looked at the third prince. He could tell that the third prince was interested in Princess Yunshang.
"Yes! Why didn't I think of this?"
Lei Hao also slapped himself on the forehead, and then said to the third prince: "Although Princess Yunshang is a princess of a subordinate kingdom, she is still a real princess after all, and she has amazing cultivation qualifications and understanding. Even if she looks at us
In the entire Holy Dragon Empire, there are not many young people who are worthy of her, and it is impossible for her to marry a middle-aged man or an old man who is much older than her, let alone to be a concubine for others.
My third prince is the most suitable."
"This kind of woman is arrogant and arrogant. Even if I am the prince of the empire, I may not be able to make her willing to marry me." The third prince said humbly.
"With the third prince's dignity and strength, he is worthy of her in every aspect. I think that in order to bring this princess who may become the female sword goddess in the future to our Holy Dragon Empire, the third prince should
Work hard. If the third prince takes the initiative to express his love and pursue him, she might be extremely happy in her heart!" Ling Bin said plausibly.
"Even if she doesn't want to, she is only the princess of our affiliated kingdom after all. After the third prince returns, he will ask your majesty for a marriage, and the Piaoyun Kingdom will not dare to disobey him." Lei Hao said with confidence.

In a dense forest within a hundred miles of the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest, five young heroes from the Piaoyun Kingdom, including Xing Nan, were fighting three second-level monsters.
The three monster beasts have the same appearance and should be the same type of monster beast. Two of them are in the middle of the second level, and only one is in the late second level.
Princess Yunshang did not take action. If she did, she would probably kill all three second-level monsters with just one sweep of her sword.
Xing Nan didn't take action either, because he was regarded as weak by everyone, and he was just here to carry his luggage and lighten everyone's burden.
Duan Zhirou, sister and brother Duan Rui, plus another young hero Tang Lei from Piaoyun Academy, the three of them are currently fighting the three monsters.
Duan Rui is an eighth-grade martial artist. Although Duan Zhirou is two years older than Duan Rui, she is only a seventh-grade swordsman. Tang Lei is a seventh-grade martial artist. They are both the top young heroes of Piaoyun Academy and the best in the entire Piaoyun Kingdom.
young handsome man.
Li Da, who had to withdraw from the competition due to the recurrence of an old injury, is also a seventh-level swordsman, and his strength is not lower than Duan Zhirou.
As an eighth-level martial artist, Duan Rui did not use any weapons or magic weapons. He was chasing the clouds and chasing the moon, constantly dodging the ferocious attacks of the late second-level monster, and at the same time using an extremely fierce and domineering boxing technique.
When attacking, if his punch hits the target, it will often make the sturdy monster take two or three steps back, which shows how powerful his punch is.
Duan Rui did not go all out to fight. The strength of this late second-order monster was not much worse than his. If he wanted to kill the opponent in a short time, he would probably have to pay some price.
He was waiting for his sister and Tang Lei to help after the battle.
Duan Zhirou practiced swordsmanship, holding a slender spiritual sword, and danced a set of swordsmanship like flowing wind and drizzle. She followed a routine of body movements as light as wind and swordsmanship as continuous as drizzle. Not only did the second-level mid-level demon
The beast couldn't touch the corners of her clothes at all, and it kept leaving a series of moderate sword wounds on the monster's body.
As for Tang Lei, he is known for his powerful legs. He can lift his body up to five or six feet with one leap. He can easily break boulders and break a big tree with one kick. Like Duan Zhirou, he is also at an absolute advantage.
, right now, they are just trying to hone their martial arts or swordsmanship by patiently dealing with their respective opponents.
Princess Yunshang stared at the battlefield from the side, her attention was very focused. As long as there was an accident, she would take action to prevent casualties.
The battle lasted for a full cup of tea, and Princess Yunshang suddenly took action. A monster appeared out of nowhere and suddenly pounced on Duan Rui not far away.
The monster was extremely fast and almost jumped from one side to Duan Rui in the blink of an eye. Duan Rui, who was dealing with the late second-level monster, had no time to defend or dodge.
In terms of speed alone, the monster that suddenly came out to attack was definitely a third-level monster, comparable to a human spiritual monk.
Just when the two front paws of the third-level monster were about to hit Duan Rui's shoulder, an extremely sharp sword light that looked like a shining white sword roared out, instantly killing the head of the third-level monster.
breakdown.
thump!
The body of the third-level monster fell heavily to the ground, and then its legs and feet twitched a few times, then stopped moving.
