The Quarter Finals came to an end and the people were getting ready to leave the Stadium, when a calm yet domineering voice echoed in their ears, "Chief Inspector, I wonder if we can make a few changes in the proceedings this time." Chief Inspector was surprised and he looked at the third prince. He asked, "Your highness, what do you mean?" Hu Jitian replied calmly, "Why shall we wait another day to find out the result of the tournament? It is obvious that we are all hungry for success, and wish to climb the peak. So, why can't we have a battle right away?" Someone from the crowd felt excited and yelled, "Yes, I support His Highness!" Following this, people began to chant his name. The chief inspector was surprised and said, "Your Highness, while I admire your enthusiasm, there are two things that you need to take care of before the competition can continue." Hu Jitian said, "I know what the two conditions are. First is to get an approval from the three strongest ment of the nation. The warring peak sect master, The King, and the Chief Abbot of the Bright Peace Temple. I have arranged someone from my side to go over and ask for their permission and appearance as well. As for the second condition." He looked over at the three people who were standing on their positions and asked, "Does any of you have any trouble if the battles were to continue?" Find your next read at empire Hu Baihe shook her head, as hot blooded and hungry she was, she had no reason to avoid this, and then there was Ma Blade, another battle hungry man raised and nurtured by the Warring Peak. He also nodded without much change in his expression. Then finally the trio turned their gaze to look at Hao Ren, the young man had become an enigma to them and Hu Jitian in special had been paying attention to this guy. Hao Ren smiled faintly and asked, "Your Highness, you wish to settle the situation in one go?" Hu Jitian nodded firmly and Hao Ren replied, "Since, you have spoken, how dare I cause trouble. I agree. I only hope that the rewards for the top ten contenders can be settled soon. You see, I am just a chef, and joined the tournament because of rewards. Hehe..." Hu Jitian furrowed his brows but then he said, "I will ask His Majesty to issue the gifts as soon as the competition closes." Hao Ren raised his fist to thank the man for his understanding and sat down in his previous position with his eyes closed. Hao Mei asked him with spiritual sense, 'Why did you agree?' Hao Ren replied, 'I have nothing better to do at the moment, so why not.' Hao Mei thought about it and asked, 'How much spiritual energy is left inside your Dantian?' The young man replied, 'Ummm, around eighty percent.' Hao Mei was surprised and then she mumbled, 'Monster. I am going back to the Blue Star, do you need anything else from me?' Hu Jitian stood up from his chair and sorted his clothes to welcome the king. The chief inspector was surprised but then he looked around and said, "Ignited the Moon Lamps." Hao Ren narrowed his gaze, the moon lamps were a type of artifact that was crafted by refining, the Moon Essence found beyond the Tiger Sabre Pass. This artifact was considered a luxury, but for Hao Ren, it was something that commemorated the defeat of Han Lingshi's moon spirit kingdom and her ancestors. He despised these people, but nothing was visible on his face. Soon, on the top most balcony of the Stadium, an old man appeared with a radiant smile on his face. He was surrounded by the generals and the guards. Beside him stood a middle-aged man who had a rogue mark on his brow. Hao Ren recognized this man, the leader of the Zheng family, and also the advisor to the king. The old man looked at Hu Jitian with a smile and said, "I hope the best person wins. Let the battles commence." Hu Jitian and the rest of the people bowed to the man. The chief inspector nodded and then bowed to the King before he turned around and said, "The first battle would be, Ma Blade, and Hao Ren. Please come on stage." The latter smiled and stood up from the position and thought, 'What a good way to promote Hu Jitian to the top. Indeed, capable of being called the king.' Indeed, the Prince would first defeat the Princess, and then he would advance to face Ma Blade. Hu Jitian was stronger than both the people. However, he would not reach the peak because he would not be facing Ma Blade, but Hao Ren. ... Hao Ren stood facing Ma Blade who held an Epee. The latter said, "You better get serious in this round, I am not as weak as the rest of the participants were." Hao Ren smiled and took out his sword before tying it to his waist and said, "If you can really force me to draw my sword, I will agree to your words." Ma Blade frowned, and thought that Hao Ren was acting arrogantly. He swung his epee, that was five feet long and rushed at Hao Ren. The latter watched this with a musing smile and took half a step forward, before he sent out a punch. This time, the force of his punch was so high that the movement alone caused the air to ripple. Boom! Hao Ren's fist had gone supersonic, and it collided with the side of the big blade. People seemed to have seen the blade ripple as if a stone hitting the surface of water. The energy traveled from the blade into Ma Blade's arm causing him to retreat forcefully. He looked at Hao Ren and remarked in disbelief, "You have been holding back purposefully." Hao Ren smiled and replied, "We all are hiding something are we not?" Ma Blade narrowed his gaze and began to stab his blade at Hao Ren, however, the latter ducked and used all force to get closer to Ma Blade, then followed by a crisp slap to the face of the Warring Peak. Ma Blade was shaken by the slap, his head seemed to have disconnected from the rest of his body. He reeled in from the shock. Everyone else looked at Hao Ren as if he was a demon. The demon smiled and said, "Let the game begins."
