Ye Xingxue and Ling Luo are members of the royal family, so naturally they stood with Ye Feng at this moment.
As soon as they approached Ye Feng, he gently swirled his wine glass and asked the three children beside him, "Want to join?"
Ling Luo, Ye Xingxue, and Ye Xingyu all said in unison, "We'll see."
The night breeze nodded, saying nothing.
At this moment, the host had finished explaining the rules on the round platform and had just announced the official start of the competition when Tang Xinxun was the first to jump up.
Tang Xinxun did not stand with his parents.
When Tang's parents saw him go up first, they were both stunned.
Although Tang Xinxun participated in the competition every year before, he never did it in such a flamboyant way.
However, before they could speak, Tang Xinxun glanced around and said directly, "I hope my first opponent is a martial artist of level three or four stars or above!"
Tang Xinxun's current martial arts stat is level three with three stars.
Tang Xinxun's words revealed two pieces of information.
First, he wants to challenge someone who is better than him.
Second, he implicitly acknowledged that among the three-star martial arts level, no one was more powerful than him!
To dare to speak like that is both offensive and arrogant.
Upon hearing this, the guests present erupted in an uproar.
Night Breeze raised an eyebrow, glanced at Ling Luo, and smiled.
Ling Luo: "?"
Why are you looking at her?
With so many people present, not to mention the other dignitaries, many were already very nervous before even stepping onto the round platform for the competition, knowing they were going to compete, let alone standing on the platform.
But Tang Xinxun wasn't nervous at all.
He was confident, composed, arrogant, and full of fighting spirit!
Upon seeing this, Tang Xinxun's parents and grandparents were stunned again.
Among Tang Xinxun's peers, he had the best aptitude and the highest martial arts skills.
In previous years, when Tang Xinxun went on stage to participate in the competition, although he was not too nervous, he was definitely not like this now.
I am neither that confident, nor that composed, nor that arrogant, nor that full of fighting spirit.
Seeing Tang Xinxun's arrogance, it's no wonder that many people are disgusted.
However, someone immediately raised their hand and said, "I'll do it!"
The man's parents heard this, their expressions changed, and they quickly pulled him aside, signaling him not to do anything rash.
Their son has a level 3, four-star martial arts skill, which is higher than Tang Xinxun's.
However, their son was three years older than Tang Xinxun and was less talented than Tang Xinxun.
In this situation, even if their son wins against Tang Xinxun, some people will probably say that their son only won because he is a few years older than Tang Xinxun.
Therefore, even if their son wins, others may not necessarily praise him; if he loses, he will lose face even more!
But the person wouldn't listen and kept telling the host, "I'll go first! I'll go first!"
Now, everyone's attention was focused on him.
His parents, seeing this, couldn't very well refuse to let their son go on stage in front of so many people.
The man leaped onto the circular platform and proactively extended his hand to introduce himself: "Li Qinglang, a second-year student at the Hailuo Military Academy, with a level three, four-star martial value."
The other party was so formal. He shook hands with the person and nodded, saying, "Tang Xinxun, a first-year student at the Hailuo Military Academy, with a level three three-star martial skill."
Li Qinglang nodded: "I know. I watched all the videos of your team's matches in the last joint exam, especially the video of your match against He Ming. I watched it many times! It was so damn awesome. The first time I watched it, I was absolutely thrilled!"
"After watching your live stream replay, I've been practicing at home every day these past few days, just so I can have a proper fight with you today! My aptitude isn't as good as yours, and I'm only a few years older than you with a higher martial arts value. You don't think I'm not worthy to fight you, do you?"
Tang Xinxun stretched his neck and assumed a fighting stance: "You think I'm that kind of person?"
Li Qinglang laughed: "I don't think you are, so I came up here!"
Tang Xinxun licked his lips and said excitedly, "Then let's go."
"Fine, I won't hold back!"
"What I dislike most is showing mercy!"
Hearing this, Ling Luo nodded in satisfaction, finding the competition more interesting this way.
Many people at the scene were stunned when they heard their conversation.
Especially the many adults present.
Ye Xingxue smiled at Ling Luo and patted her head.
At this moment, Tang Xinxun and Li Qinglang had already started their match. Ling Luo was focused on watching the game when she noticed him touching her head. She looked up at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Xingxue smiled and shook her head: "It's alright, Luo Luo should just enjoy watching the game."
"oh……"
On the other side, Gu Huan stroked his chin and said, "The Crown Princess and her ilk have really done a lot of harm..."
Ye Zeru: "That's right."
He has attended royal banquets every year since he can remember.
Based on his understanding of past competitions, Tang Xinxun and Bai Ying, who are the most outstanding among their peers, would generally not have anyone older than them actively seeking to challenge them in such competitions.
After all, winning brings no glory, while losing brings shame.
Therefore, if Tang Xinxun had said those words in previous years, probably no one would have dared to challenge him.
But now...
He looked around.
Many people stared at the stage, their faces full of eagerness.
Moreover, in previous years, many people were forced to go on stage to compete by their parents, and they were very nervous when they stood up. It is really rare to see so many people looking excited and eager to go on stage to compete.
