Long Chen looked up and saw a strong man standing in the center of the ring, clasping his fists to the surroundings.

  Long Chen didn't know the man, but he looked very young. As soon as he came on stage, the whole audience cheered. It seemed that he had a wide network of contacts.

  At this time, Long Chen noticed that the entire square was also full of people. It turned out that the first half of the Lantern Festival was only open to the princes, giving young men and women an opportunity to communicate.

  And the competition for the first warrior in the back was completely open without any restrictions. Long Chen saw that there were many more people in the spectator seats on the Queen Mother's side. He saw the shadow of Manhuang Hou among them.

  Those people were older, but their blood was surging. They were all masters of the blood coagulation realm, and they carried a faint murderous aura. Obviously, they were all real strong men.

  When Long Chen was looking at those people, there was another cheer. He saw a man who jumped about ten feet and landed lightly on the ring. His figure was very handsome.

  "It's Feng Yang," Shi Feng said in surprise as he looked at the man.

  "Why, do you know him?" Long Chen said.

  "Well, he is the same age as me. He joined the army two years ago. At that time, he was only at the third level of Qi Condensation. Now he is at the eighth level of Qi Condensation."

  In just two years, he crossed five small realms, which is really surprising.

  "Nothing. After joining the army, he will often carry out some tasks. That is a real life and death experience. This speed is normal." Long Chen nodded and looked at the man and said.

  "This Feng Yang is very good. Although his cultivation is not high, he has a trace of murderous aura on his body, which is not comparable to those children who grew up in honeypots."

  Just as Long Chen and Shi Feng were talking, Feng Yang and the man had already started fighting, and it was just as Long Chen said.

  Although the previous man looked strong and had the same cultivation as Feng Yang, his actual combat power was too different from Feng Yang. He was knocked off the ring by Feng Yang's palm in less than ten rounds.

  "In martial arts, it is not the case that the higher the cultivation level, the stronger the combat power. Sometimes the indomitable spirit will make the opponent timid and lose confidence, resulting in a significant reduction in combat power.

  So if you want to go further in martial arts, you need a heart for martial arts, to overcome all obstacles and never give up," Long Chen patted Shi Feng on the shoulder and said.

  "I know, I will. I can die, but I can't surrender," Shi Feng nodded.

  Long Chen smiled slightly. Shi Feng was limited by his talent and his path of cultivation was bumpy, but if his heart was firm enough, maybe there would be a miracle.

  "Bang"

  Feng Yang was finally exhausted after defeating three strong men in a row. He was knocked back by a punch and had to admit defeat.

  "Long Chen, I'm going"

  "Huh? So early? Can you bear the round-robin battle later?" Long Chen said in surprise.

  "I regard this competition as a kind of practice. The result is not important. What is important is that I need to strengthen my heart for martial arts," Shi Feng said with a smile.

  "Okay, Brother Shi, we are here to cheer you up," Fatty Yu said very politely, they were all looking forward to Shi Feng's move.

  "Come on!"

  Long Chen patted Shi Feng on the shoulder and said.

  "Shi Feng, come and learn from me!"

  With Shi Feng's loud shout, it was like a thunder in the square, and the whole audience burst into cheers like a tide. Obviously, Shi Feng is still very famous among the younger generation of the imperial capital.

  The shouts of Fatty Yu and others were drowned by the cheers like a tide, and even they themselves could not hear it. They looked at each other in embarrassment.

  Shi Feng's face was dark and his demeanor was deep. When he stood there, people felt that he was a mountain that could not be shaken.

  Opposite Shi Feng was a strong man of the ninth level of Qi Condensation, but when he saw Shi Feng, his heart choked and he was shocked.

  "Go ahead, I only use the power of the ninth level of Qi Condensation," Shi Feng smiled slightly.

  The man couldn't help but feel angry when he heard it. There were so many people watching him, and he couldn't get off the stage.

  "Hmph, who wants you to..."

  The man snorted coldly, stepped on the ground, and punched Shi Feng, but Shi Feng ignored the punch.

  "Isn't this Shi Feng too arrogant?"

  "Huh"

  Just when everyone thought Shi Feng was arrogant, the man who attacked Shi Feng rushed to Shi Feng's lower abdomen with the second punch, and the first move was actually a fake move.

  "Pah"

  A big hand blocked the man's fist, making a muffled sound, and Shi Feng grabbed the man's big hand and exerted force on his hand.

  "Go"

  "Huh"

  People exclaimed, and the man flew into the air, flew several feet away, and fell heavily to the ground, falling flat on his face.

  After the man landed, he spat out the mud in his mouth, cursed a few words, turned around and left, and didn't even watch the following competition.

  "Brother Shi is mighty"

  At this time, Fatty Yu and others seized the opportunity and were the first to shout this slogan. With their shouting, a large number of cheers came.

  This cheer was mixed with the cheers of countless girls. Long Chen smiled slightly. No wonder so many people like to go on stage. This is the best way for male creatures to attract females.

  At this moment, Long Chen suddenly realized that he was interested. He looked at the other side of the spectator seat and saw Chu Yao's beautiful eyes staring at him.

  Long Chen smiled slightly and blinked. Chu Yao's pretty face suddenly blushed and hurriedly lowered her head, but her beautiful eyes were full of joy.

  However, neither Long Chen nor Chu Yao noticed that their slight movements were all caught in their eyes.

  Xia Changfeng's face turned pale, and he suddenly whispered to someone beside him: "How is the investigation going? Have you found out his details?"

  "Master, I have investigated. This boy's cultivation is strange. He never shows his true cultivation. However, his real combat power is no more than the initial stage of blood coagulation," the man whispered.

  If Long Chen was here, he would immediately recognize the man's accent. He was the one who pretended to be a killer and attacked him when Long Chen went out.

  "Hmph, that's good. Huang Shang, I want him dead tonight. Try not to reveal too many cards," Xia Changfeng snorted coldly.

  The Huang Shang he mentioned was his personal bodyguard, the scarred man. Huang Shang smiled cruelly and said, "Master, don't worry. He will definitely not survive tonight."

  "Bang"

  It must be said that Shi Feng, who entered the blood coagulation realm, was unstoppable. He defeated 18 opponents in a row, which made the whole audience boil.

  The last two opponents were also Blood Coagulation Realm warriors, but they were much weaker than Shi Feng in terms of combat power.

  After all, Shi Feng broke through the Blood Coagulation Realm with the help of Long Chen. His realm was much more solid than others, which gave him a great advantage.

  When the last Blood Coagulation Realm warrior was defeated, Shi Feng shouted three times on the stage, but no one came up.

  According to the rules of the competition, the title of Fengming's No. 1 Warrior of this session has already fallen into Shi Feng's pocket.

  Amid the warm cheers of the audience, Shi Feng walked to the Queen Mother and knelt on the ground. The Queen Mother gave Shi Feng a jade card and encouraged him a few words.

  When Shi Feng returned to the stage, the whole audience became more and more excited. Countless girls rushed to the stage and put their wreaths on Shi Feng's head and neck.

  Those wreaths were made by each girl herself. They were a token of love. When she saw the man she liked, she would present them to that man. If the man accepted them, it meant that he accepted the girl's heart.

  Each wreath was embroidered with the owner's maiden name, which was convenient for the other party to find. In Fengming Empire, the more powerful a man was, the more wives and concubines he had. Therefore, most girls would rather marry a man with many wives and concubines as a concubine than marry a mediocre man as a wife.

  When Shi Feng came back, his whole body was covered with wreaths, and only his head was exposed, otherwise he couldn't even walk.

  "Haha, Shi Feng, congratulations!" Long Chen laughed at this funny look.

  "Wow, Shi Feng, you're rich this time," Monkey said with envy.

  "What kind of wealth? Shi Feng is not a human trafficker, but Brother Shi, you have to sort it out when you go back. You have to pick a few wives," Fatty Yu scolded with a smile.

  The girls handed their wreaths to Shi Feng, indicating that they were willing to marry Shi Feng. As long as Shi Feng nodded and gave the betrothal gift, they could marry him. It was very convenient.

  Shi Feng blushed and said, "Shi Feng can be here today thanks to Long Chen's help. How about this, let's divide these wreaths?"

  "Puff"

  Everyone, including Long Chen, burst out laughing. This thing can be divided. Only Shi Feng can think of it.

  Seeing everyone laughing, Shi Feng also realized that he was stupid. Everyone couldn't help laughing.

  Originally, this year's Lantern Festival would have ended at this time. Just as everyone was preparing to leave, Xia Changfeng suddenly laughed and said:

  "This competition is really exciting and makes people want more. I have a suggestion. I don't know if I should say it or not."

  The Queen Mother frowned slightly. There were already enough things to do today. She didn't want to make things complicated. But Xia Changfeng was a guest, so the Queen Mother couldn't refuse him and said, "Prince Xia, please say it."

  "In order to cheer everyone up, we will also send a young man to compete with the heroes of Fengming to see who is stronger," Xia Changfeng said with a smile.

  Before the Queen Mother could speak, Wei Cang interrupted and said, "Daxia and Fengming are as close as family. I believe the Queen Mother will not refuse a little friendly exchange."

  The Queen Mother sighed. This was clearly a verbal pressure on her. If she did not agree, she would offend Wei Cang.

  "Then let's do as the master said. Let's bet on the demeanor of the men of Daxia. I wonder which one will go on stage."

  "Huang Shang, you go. Remember to show mercy and don't hurt the harmony." Xia Changfeng waved his hand.

  "Yes"

  Huang Shang touched the ground with his toes. He was like a big bird, crossing an arc and slowly landing on the stage.

  "Daxia Huang Shang, please teach me from the hero of Fengming," Huang Shang said with a fist.

  "Are you kidding me? You are so old, but you still pretend to be young. You are too thick-skinned," Long Chen winked at Monkey, who immediately understood and shouted.

  Huang Shang smiled slightly: "Huang Shang is 19 years old this year, and I have a certificate of identity to prove it. Everyone in the Great Xia Empire knows it."

  After hearing Huang Shang's words, everyone in the audience was relieved. It was normal for some people to look older.

  "Mr. Long Chen, I, Huang Shang, came to the imperial capital and heard all the rumors about you. I admire you very much. I wonder if I am qualified to have a fight with you." Huang Shang looked at Long Chen and clasped his fists.

  Huang Shang's words attracted everyone's attention at once, and the scene immediately became like boiling water.

  "Long Chen"

  "Long Chen"

  "Long Chen"

  The shouts were higher and higher, surging, making people's blood boil, and countless eager eyes were cast towards Long Chen.
