Chapter 752

"I can only say my talent is passable!" Qin Xiaoxiao said indifferently. "Compared to you all, it's far inferior. I think it's better to let nature take its course."

"Sigh!" Qin Qin Ningshuang said. "If you didn't spend time on other things, perhaps your strength could improve even more."

"That won't do. My mother said that in terms of dance and music, I am a rare genius!" Mentioning this, Qin Xiaoxiao began to smile. "I don't reject cultivation or improving my strength, but I prefer dance and music! And my pet beast likes to dance too!"

"I think you should put more effort into improving your strength! In this world, strength is the foundation, and your father has placed high hopes on you!" Qin Qin Ningshuang said. "Otherwise, I might consider telling your father that you spend your time on dancing..."

"Ah... Sister Qin Ningshuang, you wouldn't!" Qin Xiaoxiao cried out. "You're not that kind of person, right?"

"This... is hard to say!"

"Miss Qin Ningshuang, Great-grandfather has something to ask of you!"

Just as Qin Xiaoxiao was tugging at Qin Qin Ningshuang, acting spoiled and begging for mercy, a young man from the Qin family ran over.

They were all members of the Qin family, but their treatment was vastly different.

Those with excellent Beast Tamer talent could often receive guidance from elders and enjoyed high status and treatment.

"Xiaoxiao is here too!" the Qin family youth said. "Perfect, Great-grandfather wants you to come along as well."

"Is something the matter?"

"I don't know!"

The Qin family youth shook his head.

"Alright!"

Although the two girls were a bit puzzled, they hurried over.

Qin Qin Ningshuang's grandfather and Qin Xiaoxiao's grandfather were brothers, so they were related, but not very close relatives.

They also lived in the same city, not far from each other, and because Qin Xiaoxiao's talent was quite good, that was how she came to know Qin Qin Ningshuang.

Otherwise, they couldn't possibly know everyone from their great-grandfather's branch.

After meeting their great-grandfather, who was the current Second Prince, he chatted with them kindly about cultivation and then instructed them to rise early tomorrow to meet him, as he would take them to see their great-grandmother, the current Empress.

Qin Xiaoxiao asked: "Sister Qin Ningshuang, why do you think Great-grandmother wants to see us?"

From birth until now, Qin Xiaoxiao had only seen that great-grandmother from afar, and thinking of her made Qin Xiaoxiao a bit nervous.

"I don't know!" Qin Qin Ningshuang said uncertainly. "Maybe she's concerned about our cultivation progress! If we don't perform well, Great-grandmother will lose face."

This was the most reasonable reason Qin Qin Ningshuang could think of.

The elders of the Qin family attached great importance to their cultivation!

"Has Sister Qin Ningshuang ever spoken to Great-grandmother?"

Qin Qin Ningshuang nodded: "I have spoken to her!"

Last year, Qin Qin Ningshuang performed excellently in the royal martial arts competition, making it into the top ten, and she had been received by their great-grandmother, where she had spoken two sentences to her up close.

"Is Great-grandmother fierce?"

"She feels quite nice!"

"Oh!"

"Alright, let's go back!" Qin Qin Ningshuang said. "Rest early. We have to get up very early tomorrow and tidy up our appearance. Great-grandfather emphasized that we shouldn't lose his face."

"Oh!"

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded.

Although Qin Xiaoxiao didn't particularly like cultivation, she knew the gravity of the situation.

If she made her great-grandfather unhappy, let alone her mother, her whole family wouldn't have an easy time!

On the first day of the royal martial arts competition, after breakfast, Chen Huan brought Su Yang and Xia Na to the venue.

The venue was full of young, vibrant royal descendants.

They gathered in groups of two or three on the field, loudly discussing the situation of this royal martial arts competition.

Mainly about which geniuses were most likely to win and which Qin family girls were the most beautiful!

Hearing these conversations, Su Yang couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth; mingling among these people, he felt he had become much younger himself.

Of course, strictly speaking, he was only twenty-one, not much older than these contestants.

At the same time, he also slightly relaxed his vigilance.

No matter how cautious Qin Qin Longyun was, he wouldn't make a move against him in this situation, right?

These young people almost didn't know Su Yang.

They hadn't attended the banquet yesterday at all; to be precise, they weren't qualified to attend!

Su Yang glanced at their strength, and his expression became slightly serious.

"I didn't expect your royal family to be so full of talent!"

On the field, among more than two hundred young people, not a single one was below the Platinum grade!

The strength was simply exaggerated to the extreme!

A Platinum-grade Beast Tamer could be a city lord in the Huaxia Federation!

"These are all the geniuses of the royal family, the foundation accumulated by the royal family over a thousand years!" Chen Huan smiled. "It's not particularly strange. For example, in the Shenfeng Kingdom, the royal Feng family might be even more powerful."

"Hmm!"

Su Yang quickly calmed down.

"You haven't seen the other, more mediocre children. The vast majority of children don't even have the qualifications to come to Qingluan City and enter the palace!" Chen Huan continued. "These children standing before you are almost all one in a hundred, or even one in a thousand, in the royal family. They are all geniuses from various branches of the royal family. For outstanding geniuses, His Majesty has never been stingy with rewards, and even the branches they belong to can receive generous rewards."

Su Yang nodded; he had already seen the power of the Qingluan Kingdom's royal family!

Think about it: if he hadn't appeared, the Huaxia Federation might only have one Emperor-level powerhouse, and the entire Water Blue Star might only have one Emperor-level Beast Tamer!

Think about the Emperor-level Beast Tamers in the Qingluan Kingdom's army, as well as Qin Qin Longyun, this Emperor-level Beast Tamer; everything didn't seem so hard to accept.

After all, the Great World of Beast Tamers had developed for one hundred thousand years and possessed more and stronger fierce beasts!

These royal descendants could very likely sign contracts with Platinum-grade pet beasts from the start, obtain systematic Beast Tamer knowledge, receive guidance from King, Emperor, and Sovereign-level Beast Tamers, and obtain massive amounts of precious resources.

And what about their Federation?

Children from commoner backgrounds usually could only have a Bronze-potential pet beast as their first.

Those from wealthy families were lucky if they could get a Silver or Gold-potential fierce beast for their children...

Currently, the overall combat power of the Huaxia Federation was extremely unbalanced!

It could only rely on Su Yang, Liu Liu Mengyun, Sovereign Jiazi, and Xia Na to hold the fort!

Everything else was too far behind.

But Su Yang also knew that this wasn't something that could be caught up with in a short time!

Even if they strove to catch up, it would likely take hundreds of years to reach the average level of this world.

Catching up to the Qingluan Kingdom's royal family was unlikely.

The Qingluan Kingdom could barely be considered a strong nation on the Beast Tamer Continent!

"General Su, Lord Chen!"

Just then, an Emperor-level Beast Tamer stepped forward to greet Su Yang and the others.

"Hmm!"

Su Yang nodded.

He didn't know this person, only vaguely remembering seeing him at the banquet yesterday.

Seeing his blue robe embroidered with the Qingluan divine bird, Su Yang could only be certain that he was a member of the royal family.

As people greeted Su Yang one after another, he quickly attracted the attention of those young people.

Those who didn't recognize Su Yang were all curious about his identity.

The bold ones asked their elders for guidance.

"Great-grandfather, who was that person just now?"

"That General Su is a distinguished guest of His Majesty!"

"Is he very powerful?"

"Of course he is very powerful. When you see him in the future, pay your respects properly!"

"But he doesn't look very old!"

"You bunch of brats, you are just a group of frogs in a well. That lord is much more powerful than I am!"

"..."

"The time is almost up. General Su, you can go to the viewing platform to watch their competition!" Chen Huan said with a smile. "His Majesty has something to do today and might not come over for now, but the Empress..."

Su Yang raised his head and looked toward the viewing platform, which was a hundred meters high.
