Chapter 46: Excessive
Chapter 46: Excessive
Even though the Imperial Concubine was in the harem, she had heard of Bing Linxuan's name. While not the strongest ice-type warrior on the continent, he was undoubtedly the youngest War Emperor. Furthermore, Bing Linxuan's family background was not weak; it was said that he was from the royal family of a certain country.
He had accepted four disciples before. The weakest of these four disciples is now a War Sect member, and the strongest is a War King who is only one step away from entering the War Emperor realm. His strength should not be underestimated.
In addition, two of these four disciples have extraordinary family backgrounds. They are both from aristocratic families in the empire, and many of their family members work in the court.
After Xuanyuan Xingyao was accepted as a disciple by Binglinxuan, even if the two families did not stand on the side of the prince, they would not be able to use him. How could the imperial concubine not be angry?
The imperial concubine and her companions were originally no match for the crown prince in every aspect. Now that the crown prince has received strong support, do they still have a chance to bring him down?
Thinking of this, the imperial concubine felt a little desperate and could not help but smash the porcelain that had just been replaced in the palace. Because she smashed too many things, the queen took the opportunity to scold her, which made the imperial concubine even more angry.
On the day Xuanyuan Xingyao became his apprentice, the emperor summoned all the ministers and royal relatives. He wanted everyone to know what a good master his son had.
If time was sufficient, the emperor might have sent invitations to other countries and asked them to come and watch the ceremony.
However, although no invitations were sent to other countries, the emperor still used Xuanyuan Xingyao's apprenticeship as an excuse to grant amnesty to the entire country, and even pardoned all taxes and fees for that year. The people were so happy that they kept shouting "Long live the emperor and long live the seventh prince."
For ordinary people, the various taxes and fees they had to pay each year accounted for one-third of a family's annual income. With this money, ordinary people could live a much more comfortable life this year. The Emperor and Xuanyuan Xingyao were naturally grateful for this favor.
Xuanyuan Xingyao's apprenticeship ceremony was similar to Nangong Jing's. However, because Xuanyuan Xingyao was a warrior, his apprenticeship ceremony included a martial arts performance, which required him to demonstrate his martial arts moves in public.
Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't like showing off his skills in front of everyone, but he knew the process of a warrior becoming an apprentice, so even though he didn't like it, he still took out a long sword and danced with it majestically.
Speaking of Xuanyuan Xingyao's sword, it has a great origin. When Xuanyuan Xingyao awakened his warrior talent, the emperor asked him to choose a weapon he liked as his main weapon.
Xuanyuan Xingyao chose a long sword at that time. After the emperor knew that Xuanyuan Xingyao liked swords, he went to the inner treasury of successive emperors and selected a long sword for Xuanyuan Xingyao.
The long sword was pitch black and looked very inconspicuous, but when it was drawn out, it revealed a sharpness and coldness, and it was obvious that it was a good sword.
It's said that this sword was forged over 800 years ago by a master weaponsmith. When forging the sword, they added some Cold Star Stone, making it ideal for ice-attributed warriors. Because of the inclusion of the Cold Star Stone, the sword was given the name "Cold Star."
When the emperor gave this sword to Xuanyuan Xingyao, he fell in love with it at first sight. Since he started practicing swordsmanship, this sword has never left his body.
At the beginning, he would hold the sword in his arms when he slept at night. Later, he stopped this behavior after being severely disciplined by the queen. This shows how much Xuanyuan Xingyao likes this sword.
Although Xuanyuan Xingyao is young, his moves are very sharp. When he swings his sword, there is even a bit of murderous aura and evil spirit, which is absolutely impossible for a child to appear.
Bing Linxuan was also shocked when he saw Xuanyuan Xingyao dancing with a sword for the first time. At first, Bing Linxuan thought that Xuanyuan Xingyao had been to the military camp, and thought that he was so young, how could the emperor be willing to let him go to the military camp.
Later, it was learned that Xuanyuan Xingyao was like this when he first practiced swordsmanship. The master who taught him swordsmanship was shocked. Bing Linxuan was silent for a long time before sighing, "You are a natural-born warrior."
Back to the day of becoming a disciple, for the many powerful people who have experienced so many things and have come to where they are today, there are very few things that can surprise them.
But when Xuanyuan Xingyao's sword moves, which were filled with murderous and evil spirits, appeared, everyone's eyes lit up and they were all surprised.
Obviously, they didn't expect that Xuanyuan Xingyao, at such a young age, would have such a strong murderous and evil aura in his sword moves, even though there was clearly not a trace of murderous and evil aura on him.
"Linxuan, what's with the evil and murderous aura on this kid?" Han Yan didn't know much about swordsmanship, but he was quite familiar with murderous aura and evil aura. He asked Bing Linxuan with some curiosity.
"To be honest, I don't understand it either. I was also shocked when I saw Xingyao dancing with a sword for the first time. At first, I thought he had gone to the military camp for training, but later I found out that he was like this when he first learned sword. I can only say that Xingyao is a natural-born warrior." Bing Linxuan said proudly.
Han Yan was also very shocked to hear that Xuanyuan Xingyao was born with this ability, but after all, he was not his disciple, so Han Yan was shocked but did not say much.
"When he's older, let him go to the military camp to gain some experience. Once he's stained with real blood and evil spirit, and his strength is higher, he'll be able to kill those weaker than him with just this murderous aura and evil spirit. This kid's talent is even better than I thought."
Bing Linxuan's face was filled with satisfaction with Xuanyuan Xingyao. He was so glad that he came this time, otherwise he would have missed out on such a good disciple.
