However, he did not refute immediately, he just looked at King Harudev on the high platform and the high priest Nasim Paduraide who was always floating in the void.
After all, allowing himself to take part in the competition in place of Nangong Qin was approved by King Harudev and High Priest Nasim Paduraide.
Even if someone objects now, they still need the consent of these two people.
"Why object?"
King Harudev asked.
At the same time, he also cast a questioning look at Nasim Padred floating in the void next to him.
Nasim Padred did not speak, but quietly waited for the prince's reasons.
"That's not fair!"
The prince said angrily: "If you want to win the heart of Princess Sarah, you have to rely on your own strength and let your entourage participate in the competition for you. What kind of ability is that?"
As soon as these words came out, they were immediately echoed by more princes.
"Yes, you can't find someone to take part in the competition for you!"
"That's not fair!"
"This time Princess Sara is looking for a bride from princes from various countries, not talented people from all over the world!"
"If anyone can find someone to participate in the competition on their behalf, then what's the point of princes from all over the world coming to worship the Moon Empire in person?"
"And the one who agreed to let Ye Chen compete for Prince Nangong Qin was only Ye Lisha, the second prince of the Langya Empire. We didn't agree!"
"If Your Majesty does not take back this unfair decision, you are favoring Nangong Qin, the fifth prince of the Yong'an Empire!"
Opposition voices arose one after another.
Except for Yelisha who just suggested that he could find someone to take part in the competition on his behalf, almost all the other princes were united and firmly opposed.
"These people are really shameless!"
Li Fengyu said angrily: "Before Ye Chen showed his unparalleled archery skills just now, they were still waiting to see our jokes. Why didn't they stand up and object at that time?"
"that is!"
Nangong Mingyue also echoed: "A group of wallflowers who act according to the prevailing circumstances, this is a sign of lack of confidence!"
No longer angry, the monarch Harudev on the high platform and the high priest Nasim Padurad exchanged opinions with each other, and finally announced that the rules had been changed.
The prince who participates in the marriage recruitment competition must appear in person and is not allowed to find someone to replace him!
Of course, this is only for the next few rounds of competition.
As for the results of the first round of archery competition, they still admitted it.
After all, during the first round of competition, all the princes present remained silent, which represented acquiescence.
Even if some princes were dissatisfied, they had no shame in asking for a new comparison.
"Your Highness, the rest is entirely up to you!"
Ye Chen cast a helpless look at Nangong Qin.
"No problem!"
Nangong Qin shook his head, "It's an unexpected surprise that you can help me win the first round of the competition. I don't expect the princes from all over the world to tolerate a genius like you to continue to participate in the competition for me!"
After a pause, he added: "As for whether we can defeat the princes of various countries and marry Princess Sarah in the end, it all depends on what happens in the next four rounds!"
"Just do your best, no need to force it!"
Ye Chen shook his head indifferently.
Although there are five competition events, the competition events and specific rules for each round have not been announced in advance.
According to the host, this is to prevent someone from doing tricks in advance and making the competition unfair.
So until now, apart from the archery skills that have already been compared, no one knows the specific items and rules of the next four rounds of competition.
Ye Chen and others are naturally no exception!
However, he also saw some clues from some strange rules.
One of the rules is this: no matter how poor the ranking is in the first four rounds of competition, they will not be eliminated, and any prince can transition to the final round.
In other words, the first four rounds of competitions were just an examination of the various abilities of the princes from various countries by the Moon Worshiping Empire.
What really plays a decisive role should be the final round of competition.
Therefore, even if Nangong Qin remains at the bottom in the next three rounds of competition, he will not be eliminated midway.
…
With everyone waiting patiently, the second round of competition finally got underway.
However, when the host announced the items and rules for the second round of competition, Nangong Qin, who was still holding on to a sense of luck, instantly felt desperate.
Because the event in the second round of competition turned out to be wrestling!
"It seems like I'd better give up on this round of competition!"
Nangong Qin sighed helplessly.
Ye Chen did not object.
Many small countries to the west of the Yong'an Empire have extremely harsh environments, and those who can survive in such barren areas are extremely tenacious.
Therefore, in these small Western countries, an unwritten custom has long been formed.
From the emperor to the common people, they all admire the spirit of toughness.
Wrestling is one of the most common competition events.
If a commoner wants to stand out and win the favor of the opposite sex, outstanding performance in wrestling is one of the best ways.
On the other hand, Yong'an Empire advocates elegant culture, gentle manners, elegant conversation, and noble moral character. This is a trend that the younger generation of Yong'an Empire is eager to pursue.
So much so that even Nangong Qin, the fifth prince, was deeply affected by it. In addition to improving his martial arts skills, he only focused on quality and cultural cultivation.
Letting a weak-looking person like him participate in wrestling is tantamount to asking an illiterate person to compete in calligraphy with a group of champions.
Therefore, in this round of competition, Nangong Qin directly announced that he would give up the competition.
The princes from various countries seemed to have expected this. In addition to the same contemptuous looks and various cynicism as before, they were all in high spirits and seemed to want to make a big splash in wrestling.
It has to be said that some of these princes are indeed very brave and tough. When wrestling, they are like beasts, violent and rough.
Because Ye Chen and others did not participate, they naturally could only stand by and watch.
Although the wrestling process was exciting and attracted cheers and cheers from the surrounding audience, Ye Chen didn't have much interest.
In his opinion, wrestling has no use other than showing his brutal side in front of others.
Because the showdown in reality is not just about brute strength, but the comprehensive ability of all aspects, and the final showdown of life and death.
For example, weapons, speed, agility, cultivation...etc.
No one would set up various rules and then strictly follow them in a life-or-death duel.
Not long after, the second round of competition finally came to an end.
The final winner was Du Ya, the fourth prince of the Thorn Empire.
This man is tall and tall, with a strong back and strong waist, and his limbs are as strong as the legs of an elephant. In addition, his own cultivation is not weak. In the wrestling competition, he can dominate the crowd and steal the show.
Of course, while receiving countless applause, Du Ya seemed to still be unsatisfied. He looked in the direction of Nangong Qin and said, "Prince Nangong Qin, if you want to come down and give it a try, I can give you a chance!"
He looked arrogant and looked at Nangong Qin with eyes full of contempt, "Even more, you can find someone else to take part in the wrestling competition on your behalf!"
