Chapter 96 Even the grandson has poor judgment.
The emperor frowned, about to reprimand Jun Yan and tell him to stop his nonsense.
At this critical moment, the retired emperor, who had been in seclusion for cultivation, burst out like a sharp bolt of lightning.
He moved with agility, his clothes fluttering, and in the blink of an eye, he landed steadily beside the emperor without even stirring up a speck of dust, displaying the demeanor of a powerful figure.
The Emperor Emeritus, with a calm gaze, glanced at Jun Yan and slowly said, "It's rare that he's so interested, so let's let him go and give it a try."
The Emperor Emeritus's voice was deep and powerful, carrying an unquestionable authority.
Upon hearing this, the emperor immediately retorted angrily, "Father, this competition is not child's play!"
The emperor's forehead veins bulged, and his eyes were filled with anxiety and worry.
"Oh, so where's the person you chose? Even if he loses, it's a fair and square loss, better than someone else, right?" The Emperor Emeritus glanced coldly at Shan Yurou's back, his eyes full of disdain.
His son has terrible taste!
Oh, not only the son, but the grandson also has poor taste. Of all people to choose from, he had to fall for such a good-looking but utterly worthless person, who isn't even a legitimate descendant of the Shan family!
Alas, when choosing a granddaughter-in-law, she must be a legitimate descendant of a virtuous family!
Thinking of this, the Emperor Emeritus couldn't help but look in the direction of the Shan family. When he saw Shanxi sitting in the middle, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
That aura, those eyes... why do they seem so familiar?
The retired emperor secretly pondered: I've heard that this Shanxi is the true daughter of the Shan family?
If she is a descendant of her ancestors, then it seems reasonable for her to resemble her.
After a moment, the Emperor Emeritus withdrew his gaze, his expression becoming solemn. He turned around and said to Jun Yan in a deep voice, "Jun Yan, you go ahead. The reputation of my Jun Dynasty rests entirely on your shoulders."
The retired emperor said in a solemn tone.
Jun Yan smiled and nodded, then walked slowly toward the arena.
When the people of the Jun Dynasty were shocked to learn that the third event was actually scheduled to be held at the Jun Banquet, they were instantly in an uproar!
"The Seventh Prince? Isn't he a good-for-nothing?"
"The Seventh Prince is a spoiled brat. It's said that he never cultivates and spends his days indulging in pleasure. He's never even practiced. How can someone like that be allowed to participate?"
"Damn it, I should have just gone myself. I'd rather die than utter the word 'I give up'!"
"I wouldn't take performance-enhancing drugs. If I lose, I'll just lose fair and square. Why would I secretly take drugs? What's the difference between that and cheating?"
The Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty was also surprised that Jun Yan volunteered, after all, he had interacted with Jun Yan before and knew that the other party was an absolute good-for-nothing...
It seems that Junchao has completely admitted defeat and is no longer even putting up a fight.
Thinking of this, the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty curled up a smug smile, full of arrogance and contempt.
Without hesitation, he waved his hand and immediately arranged for his strongest and most capable subordinates to take the field.
This fighter was tall and burly, with bulging muscles and a fierce and brutal look in his eyes, as if he was ready to wreak havoc on the ring.
The Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty was determined to win today's match with an absolute advantage of three wins, and make the Jun Dynasty lose face in front of everyone!
The capable general of the Southern Dynasty leaped onto the arena, emitting a deep, resounding sound that made the arena tremble slightly.
He crossed his arms, his eyes sweeping contemptuously over Jun Yan as he slowly approached, a cruel smile playing on his lips, as if victory was already firmly in his grasp.
Jun Yan, however, remained calm and stepped lightly onto the arena, a stark contrast to the Southern Dynasty general.
He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his eyes clear and firm, without the slightest hint of fear.
The audience members whispered amongst themselves, their voices rising and falling in unison.
"Why are all the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty so burly and strong?"
"Yeah! I don't know what they eat to grow so big, they're all as strong as oxen."
"Oh dear, the Seventh Prince's small frame looks too frail compared to others. I hope he doesn't get seriously injured. My heart has been in my throat the whole time!"
The people of the Jun Dynasty were filled with worry, as the Jun banquet seemed rather weak in comparison to the other side; on the other hand, the people of the Southern Dynasty looked smug, as if they had already seen the dawn of victory.
"Kid, it's not too late to admit defeat now, lest you be beaten to a pulp later!" The Southern Dynasty general spoke first, his voice as loud as a bell, carrying a strong sense of provocation.
Jun Yan smiled slightly, looked at the other party calmly, and said lightly, "The competition has not yet begun, and the outcome is still unknown. You are far too confident."
The voice was neither hurried nor slow, yet it carried an undeniable firmness.
"Hmph, stubborn brat! Then let me show you what I'm capable of!" Gan Jiang of the Southern Dynasty roared and pounced on Jun Yan like a tiger descending a mountain.
He moved with incredible speed, arriving in front of Jun Yan in an instant. He swung his massive fist, creating a whooshing sound, and smashed it hard towards Jun Yan's face.
This punch was powerful and heavy; if it had hit Jun Yan, he would likely have been either killed or seriously injured.
Jun Yan remained calm and composed, his figure flashing as easily as a ghost as he dodged the attack.
Gan Jiang of the Southern Dynasty missed his punch and was shocked. Before he could react, Jun Yan had already closed in and kicked him in the abdomen.
This seemingly light kick contained immense power, sending the Southern Dynasty soldier flying.
A loud "bang!"
The Southern Dynasty soldiers fell heavily off the arena with a dull thud.
Everyone: "???"
Everyone seemed frozen in place, as if time itself had stopped. Before they could even react, the match had abruptly ended.
The referee was stunned for a full three seconds before snapping out of his daze and shouting at the top of his lungs, "Jun Chao wins!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a man from the Southern Dynasty stood up abruptly and shouted, "Cheating! This is definitely cheating!"
"That's right, how could he possibly have such strength? He must have taken banned drugs!"
"Testing is required!"
The people of the Southern Dynasty were shouting, convinced that Jun Yan must have cheated by taking banned drugs, just like Shan Yurou!
The Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty stared intently at Jun Yan with a grim face, not stopping the shouts behind him, because he, like everyone else, suspected that Jun Yan had cheated.
How could a piece of trash have such explosive power?
"We won? We actually won?" The Junchao members were all astonished.
Soon, someone poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "Don't be too happy yet. Could it be that the Seventh Prince also took banned drugs?"
"No way? That would be incredibly embarrassing!"
"Don't be too happy yet, wait for the test results to come out first."
Having learned from the example of Shan Yurou, everyone is now quite uneasy and feels that they can only feel at ease after the test results are available!
