He had fought against those group of envoys, and the strongest one was only at the fifth level of the Zhongchen position.
Could it be that the Shenxiu Principality still couldn’t find anyone who could compete with them?
Prince Yunshu's face darkened and he said: "The reason why the barbarians are strong is not because of them, but because of the monsters they control."
The barbarians of the Northern Kingdom were very backward in martial arts.
Compared with a martial arts civilized country like Shenxiu Principality, it is simply not worth mentioning.
But they are naturally rich in resources, and there are a lot of monsters in the Northern Kingdom.
By taming monsters, they can control monsters that are many times stronger than themselves to fight.
In addition, the monsters are not afraid of death and are extremely powerful in combat.
This is why the Shenxiu Principality fought with the Northern Kingdom and was defeated every time.
"A monster?" Xia Qingchen suddenly wondered.
No wonder the strength of those barbarians was so low, but the Shenxiu Principality was defeated.
Monsters are wild beasts that possess spiritual intelligence and can cultivate themselves.
Like Qiu Chou, because he is domesticated, he can only be called a demon pet.
Monsters usually cultivate very quickly. With the same lifespan, their cultivation level is often higher than that of humans. With their innate talents, their combat power is astonishing.
"What kind of challenge do they want this time?" Xia Qingchen asked.
Princess Tianyin killed Zhang Jinsong and saved the Xia Mansion.
Now that she is in trouble, Xia Qingchen should take action to repay part of her kindness.
"Send two from each side, and win three out of four battles."
The Northern Kingdom sent two envoys, and the Shenxiu Principality sent two envoys.
"Those who go to war must not be older than nineteen years old." the monarch added.
As a result, martial arts masters from the Shenxiu Principality were restricted from participating.
"What is the strength of the monsters brought by the opponent? There is no age limit for those monsters, right?" Xia Qingchen asked.
If the opponent gets a monster that has been cultivated for hundreds of years, then there is no need to compare.
"Of course not. The age of monsters is also limited to eighteen years old. However, the strongest monster brought by the other party has already reached the seventh level of Zhongchen." The monarch's face darkened.
Princess Tianyin and Prince Yun Shu's expressions darkened at the same time.
In the entire Shenxiu Principality, the only ones who have reached the seventh level of the Zhongchen rank are the top four geniuses in the Shenxiu rankings.
Among them, the top three are all in seclusion in the temple's sacred tower.
Even if there is no retreat, with their martial arts attainments, they will definitely be members of the Martial Dao Heavenly Palace in the future, and there is no need to sell the face of the royal family of the Shenxiu Principality.
The royal family may not be able to ask them to take action.
However, Xia Qingchen looked relieved: "We have won firmly, so what are we waiting for? Hurry up and accept the challenge and send them home!"
The monarch, the queen and the four imperial doctors looked at Xia Qingchen in astonishment.
"I repeat, the level of the monster is likely to reach the seventh level of Zhongchen, and we have not hired anyone with enough cultivation to deal with it," the monarch said.
Xia Qingchen frowned: "Do your words conflict with mine?"
That’s right!
The enemy monsters have reached the seventh level of Zhongchen, and they are completely under Xia Qingchen's control.
Even without him taking action at all, the victory can be guaranteed.
The monarch cast a questioning look at Prince Yunshu.
I mean, what's wrong with the person you brought?
Why are you talking so strangely?
Prince Yun Shu was also surprised. That day at the Bishui Restaurant, Xia Qingchen showed a level of cultivation at the sixth level of Zhongchen, right?
It is seven steps away from the Zhongchen position, and there is still a whole level left in the middle.
Suddenly, he suddenly said: "By the way, Mr. Xia has raised a demon pet from the fourth level of Zhongchen. It is very smart and has learned martial arts. Maybe it can barely compete with the seventh level of Zhongchen."
He could only blame Xia Qingchen's confidence on Qiu Chou.
A Zhongchen-level four-fold demon pet that has learned martial arts?
The monarch's face showed a hint of surprise.
However, his cultivation level is still too low. He might be able to compete with the opponent's weaker monster, but against the one with seven stacks, he should have no chance of winning.
"Then how is your cultivation?" the monarch asked Xiang Xia Qingchen.
People from the North can fight with monsters and beasts together, and they can also fight with Xia Qingchen and their monster pets.
"Me? Just average." Xia Qingchen said casually.
He didn't think he was very powerful, so he spoke very conservatively.
"Tell me specifically." the monarch asked.
Princess Tianyin pulled the monarch's sleeves and lowered her voice: "Father, don't ask, he was attacked on the way to the imperial capital, and his cultivation level dropped to the middle level of Zhongchen."
The female officer who went to the dock had already informed him of Xia Qingchen's situation.
A stack of talents?
The king was not without disappointment.
However, Xia Qingchen, one person and one beast, could barely cope with that monster with a slightly lower cultivation level.
"Okay, what is supposed to come will eventually come, let's fight once!" the monarch said loudly.
But the eyes shrouded in the shadow of the bed curtain shone with an unnoticed gleam.
"Then I'll take my leave first and come back to me before the challenge." Xia Qingchen said casually.
I did not take the challenge too seriously.
Because they won.
"Wait a minute, Doctor Xia!" The great doctor stood up slowly and walked over with a cane.
Even someone as old as him bowed down and worshiped.
Xia Qingchen casually helped him up and asked, "Is there something wrong, old gentleman?"
"I mistakenly thought that Divine Doctor Xia was a charlatan. I didn't expect that he was actually facing the real miracle doctor. I apologize for being disrespectful." The great doctor apologized.
Xia Qingchen didn't take it seriously: "I only know a little bit about medical skills, and I can't say that I am a miracle doctor."
Although, the medical god was once his subordinate.
But there are specialties in the profession, and his medical skills really make him unable to call himself a medical god.
"Mr. Xia is so humble." The great doctor said, "I am old and incompetent, so I have an unkind request."
"explain."
The great doctor felt ashamed and said: "The imperial fire lion monster has been ill for several years, but my medical skills are shallow and it has never been cured. Can I ask Divine Doctor Xia to take a look and make a diagnosis?"
Everyone knows that there is a fire lion monster in the royal family of Shenxiu Principality.
Prince Yun Shu's heart moved and he said: "Yes, can you ask Mr. Xia to take action again? If the fire lion monster is cured, maybe it can increase the chance of winning this challenge."
The monarch, Princess Tianyin and others all looked at her with earnest eyes.
The great doctor was so concerned that they almost forgot that Huo Shi was also ill.
Xia Qingchen thought for a while and realized that the principality would eventually need to mobilize two teams of troops.
He and Qiuqiu were on the same team, but there was still another team missing.
If the Fire Lion heals well, it can be considered a team.
"Take me to have a look." Xia Qingchen said.
The Great Imperial Physician smiled gratefully and personally led Xia Qingchen to the Imperial Hospital.
Xia Qingchen walked in front, while the chief physician was half a step behind. The other three physicians followed suit and walked further behind.
The status of the group of people was clearly revealed.
Arrive at Tai Hospital.
In the backyard, there was a specially built cage, with a lion covered in flames lying listlessly on the ground.
When Xia Qingchen and others arrived, Huo Shi just raised his eyelids and closed them tiredly.
"Can it talk?" Xia Qingchen asked.
The great doctor shook his head: "Not yet, our principality lacks professionals to train monster beasts."
Xia Qingchen didn't think so. That was because the fire lion's spiritual intelligence was not high enough.
Like Qiu Qiu, after being enlightened by Qingxin Shenshui, he doesn't need anyone to teach him at all and can start speaking on his own.
