Zhao Ping's movements were truly unpredictable; he suddenly disappeared, but the next moment, he reappeared beside Lu Chen.
The spear thrust out, but Lu Chen was still not ready to react.
A smile appeared on Zhao Ping's face.
But at that moment, his smile vanished.
A long spear was pressed against his neck, making him feel a chill that went straight to his head.
Zhao Ping believed that if he made a single move, the spear would instantly pierce his neck.
"I lost?"
At this moment, Zhao Ping's eyes were wide open, completely unable to believe that Lu Chen had seen through him so easily. His signature movement technique was completely useless in front of this man.
He still can't understand how Lu Chen saw through him.
Of course, Lu Chen wouldn't tell him that his so-called movement technique was nothing compared to his own Lingkong Xubu (a type of movement technique), it was far too low-level.
Lu Chen sheathed his spear, looked around, and lazily said, "Next."
With a dejected look on his face, Zhao Ping walked away from the city lord's mansion, step by step, under the sympathetic gazes of the crowd.
Failing the challenge means losing the qualification, and there's no point in staying any longer.
The people below the stage looked at Lu Chen and suddenly fell silent.
They lost confidence outright.
Even Zhao Ping, who is at the sixth level, is no match for them. If we go up there, we will only be defeated by Lu Chen.
Instead, it became a stepping stone for the other party.
After Zhao Ping left, many others silently followed suit. They knew they had no hope and that it was better to give up than waste time there.
"Why did they all leave?"
Lu Chen frowned, glanced at the people who were leaving, and suddenly became angry.
These people were stunned by the shout, and then they became furious.
They won't even let us leave?
Is giving up not an option?
Does he want everyone to be humiliated by him here?
Lu Chen remained indifferent, glancing around as he said, "Did I say you could leave? What do you mean? The little princess's martial arts contest for marriage isn't something you can just come and go as you please. How dare you disregard the little princess?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of those who were about to leave changed.
They were furious, but there was nothing they could do. Leaving without doing anything would be disrespectful to the little princess.
Lu Chen is truly something else when it comes to labeling people.
Princess Nie Qing was speechless. She didn't care whether these people left or not; in fact, she didn't care even if they all left.
She already had a suitable candidate in mind.
"The little princess gave you the opportunity to comprehend such a powerful technique, and you didn't even cherish it. Not everyone gets this kind of opportunity. Don't you have any shame?"
Taking this opportunity, Lu Chen gave them a severe scolding.
These people were stunned by the shout. If it had been before, they would have swarmed forward and killed the man.
But now that the little princess is here, they can only endure it.
However, Lu Chen's words made some sense. After all, it was an extremely powerful technique, and it wouldn't be bad to learn it.
Everyone patiently studied the techniques inscribed on the stone tablet, and the scene finally quieted down.
"Behave yourself now, huh? Still trying to run away?"
Of course Lu Chen wanted to keep these people here, otherwise the martial arts contest for marriage would have ended long ago, and there would have been no chance to farm rewards.
"Little princess, how is it? Can you feel my true love for you?"
Lu Chen looked at Nie Qing with a smile.
Nie Qing was speechless.
"No, get out!"
After finishing his tirade, Nie Qing suddenly beckoned to Lu Chen with his finger and asked, "What's the origin of that movement technique you just used?"
Lu Chen leaned closer, looking mysterious, and said, "Guess?"
"explain!"
Nie Qing said angrily.
Lu Chen shrugged and said, "Stop joking. I'm here to participate in the martial arts contest to find a husband, not to cultivate. You have to agree to marry me first, and then I'll tell you, okay?"
Nie Qing's face turned cold.
"Are you threatening me?"
"How can you call this a threat? Haha, this is true love!"
Lu Chen spoke with righteous indignation.
"I'll kill you if you don't tell!"
"Alright, this movement technique is just average. I created it myself. Want to learn? I'll teach you!"
Lu Chen didn't seem to care.
Nie Qing was taken aback and subconsciously looked into Lu Chen's eyes, feeling a little surprised. After all, such a powerful technique would never be passed on to an outsider by an ordinary person.
But Lu Chen was actually willing.
"Is it really because of true love, as he says?"
Nie Qing couldn't help but have some doubts, but when she saw Lu Chen's clear eyes, she was immediately captivated.
Such clean eyes.
Lu Chen had only ever been focused on getting rewards and hadn't really had any other thoughts about the little princess. But when he saw that look in her eyes, he knew things were going badly.
"Could it be that she's really fallen for him? Oh no, if she really goes into the city lord's mansion, she'll lose her freedom!"
Seeing this, Lu Chen immediately said in a serious tone, "I was just kidding. You wish! This is my family's secret technique. How could I easily pass it on to outsiders? Unless, of course, we're family! That would be more like it!"
"Hmph, didn't you also learn our Nie family's ancestral technique, the Overlord Spear Technique?" Nie Qing sneered. She really wanted to obtain Lu Chen's movement technique, which could greatly enhance her combat power during battle.
