Chapter 1842: Participate in the Martial Arts Contest

Previously, these orderlies would leave after delivering the orders.

Indeed, the orderly then said: "You killed the lord of Linwang City last time; now it's ownerless."

"And then?"

Ye Liuyun pursued the question.

The orderly smiled: "That's it, the Prince said only that much!"

At that moment, the orderly prepared to turn and leave.

"You've worked hard! Please thank the Prince on my behalf!"

Ye Liuyun also exchanged pleasantries with those orderlies!

"It's what we should do, Leader Ye needn't be polite!"

Those orderlies were also very courteous to Ye Liuyun.

They could see that the Prince intended to promote Ye Liuyun, so they dared not offend him.

Ye Liuyun will be the Prince Consort of the Royal Mansion in the future.

Moreover, they had heard of Ye Liuyun's ability to lead troops and his personal strength; it was not an empty reputation, and thus worthy of their respect.

After seeing off those orderlies, Ye Liuyun found himself growing increasingly puzzled.

"How does the Prince of Xiliang always seem to know what I'm thinking?"

Thinking this, he suddenly realized: "If the Prince of Xiliang is strong enough, his divine sense might be able to detect me!"

He immediately tried to extend his divine sense toward the direction of the Royal Mansion.

But not to mention the Grand Hall, many places have formations shielding divine sense; he couldn't gather any information at all.

"I can't investigate, but the Prince of Xiliang certainly can! That's also why, after each time I talk with Xiao Yunfang or Xuan Yuan Ling, orders come through."

He finally understood why the Prince of Xiliang wanted to promote him.

Surely the Prince of Xiliang had already discovered his hidden strength when he first moved to kill the Eight Great Vajras.

He thought about what strengths he had exposed in the Royal City.

The gilded armor and his wealth had been revealed in the private rooms and vehicles of Xuan Yuan Mansion; the formations there should be able to block detection.

His avatar had never shown its true face, so that wasn't a big problem.

"But the invisibility cloak—surely it's been completely exposed!"

Other things like the Space World and soul attacks aren't particularly extraordinary techniques; they shouldn't draw special attention from the Prince of Xiliang.

Thinking this, Ye Liuyun felt he should be more careful and cautious from now on.

Capable people are everywhere, let alone someone as strong as the Prince of Xiliang.

It's not unusual for divine sense to cover the Royal City.

His own divine sense can now cover most of the Royal City as well.

Now, although he suspected the Prince of Xiliang was watching him, he couldn't show it.

He still had to continue drilling troops and chatting as before.

He immediately distributed the supplies issued along with the troops.

He divided the elixirs and divine crystals, using armor and weapons as everyday training tools.

The surplus was split, letting Yu Xiaofeng and Xiao Yunfang each keep half.

This way, during regular drills, the soldiers wouldn't consume the weapons and armor used in battle.

That evening, Ye Liuyun and the soldiers also began their cultivation.

Ye Liuyun now trains the soldiers only during the day to help them raise their cultivation realms.

Besides Lei Ming and others whom Ye Liuyun had taken back the Xuan Kong Shi, everyone else cultivated in the camp, including Xiao Yunfang and Tong Xin without exception.

His avatar cultivates daily inside the Xuan Kong Shi.

Ye Liuyun every night also dares not relax even a moment.

The power of Heaven and Earth and spatial power are the artistic conception forces he must comprehend each day.

Other powers, including realms, are cultivated in rotation, improving together.

After dawn, Ye Liuyun briefly outlined today's training tasks, then prepared to go to the martial arts matchmaking arena.

"You don't want to go, do you?"

Xiao Yunfang asked.

"Ah! Yesterday the Prince ordered me to go, not allowing a false loss; what can I do!"

Ye Liuyun said helplessly.

"What if you win?"

Xiao Yunfang also asked anxiously.

Ye Liuyun spread his hands, saying helplessly: "Then I'll just wait for the princess to look down on me!"

As for that, Xiao Yunfang could do nothing but watch Ye Liuyun's back as he left the camp.

As soon as Ye Liuyun arrived at the Royal Mansion's drill field, a squad leader responsible for order took him in, brought him to the standby area, and explained the match procedure.

"Only ten people left?"

Ye Liuyun only then realized that many had already been eliminated.

"Yes, among these ten, one has very strong soul power, another can tame beasts, and …" The squad leader explained in detail to Ye Liuyun.

After listening carefully, Ye Liuyun thanked the squad leader before leaving.

"Taming beasts?

"Exactly, my Death Legion can also be paired with ferocious beasts, making their combat strength even stronger! As for soul power, having a strong expert isn't bad either..."

Ye Liuyun also began to mentally go through each person's specialties, seeing which ones he needed to win over.

Little princess He Lian Xiu must be present at every competition.

She has been looking forward to Ye Liuyun's appearance these days.

Now that she sees Ye Liuyun has arrived, she immediately becomes happy.

Because the final ten candidates not only have no status, but she also cannot stand their looks, and they are generally older.

The rich youngsters in Royal City were eliminated long ago; now Ye Liuyun has become her only lifeline.

Moreover, the strength Ye Liuyun displayed last time at Feihe Tower was great, so she grew even more fond of Ye Liuyun.

"You must win!"

He Lian Xiu silently prays in her heart.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense also brushed past her, but he completely ignored it.

Instead, he sits quietly, waiting for the competition to start.

Soon, the competition begins, and the first to step onto the stage is the Martial Cultivator whose Soul power is relatively strong.

And as soon as he steps onto the stage, he instantly kills his opponent.

Then he quietly steps down, showing no flamboyance at all.

Ye Liuyun assesses his Soul's strength and knows he is not his opponent.

But Ye Liuyun is not much stronger; if that Martial Cultivator has any supportive treasure in his Sea of Consciousness, Ye Liuyun's rash attack would be risky.

Therefore Ye Liuyun can only wait for him to attack first, and before the Ten Thousand Gods Command eliminates him, plant a Slave Seal on him.

This will cause some damage to his Soul, but it will eventually recover.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil can see that the Martial Cultivator's other abilities are not lacking; he is a fourth‑tier early Martial Cultivator.

He is a Martial Cultivator among Soul Cultivators who places more emphasis on body refining and True Essence cultivation.

The second to step onto the stage is the Martial Cultivator who can tame beasts; as soon as he steps up, he releases two fourth‑tier mid‑stage ferocious beasts, and the opponents dare not fight and immediately concede.

"Hmm, this person is also useful.

Equipping ferocious beasts for over six thousand people, I couldn't handle it alone!"

Ye Liuyun evaluates silently.

Next, another body‑refining Martial Cultivator also catches Ye Liuyun's attention.

This guy is literally indestructible.

When the opponent smashed him with a fifth‑tier divine artifact, he didn't dodge and directly withstood it with his Physical Body.

"This guy's Physical Body is even stronger than mine!"

Ye Liuyun silently admires.
