I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

"Holy crap, they're even more arrogant than me! I can't stand it!"

Holding a halberd, Su Chen was the first to express his dissatisfaction, his eyes filled with displeasure as he looked at Qin Li.

So what if he's the eldest prince? So what if he was born into a better family? What's so great about that?

One person actually dared to declare war on all of them!

If we don't teach him a lesson, we'll make sure he changes his name from Su Chen to something else.

Today, let's settle both old and new scores!

He would never forget how Qin Li impersonated Qin Feng and won his money at Tianxiang Tower.

In Jiuyi Mountain, he almost perished together with the real Qin Feng!

Thinking of this, Su Chen strode forward, halberd in hand, and said, "Your Highness, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"It was said before the Dragon Vein Tournament that whoever finds the Dragon Vein first will own it. Your Highness, you were the last to arrive..."

Before he finished speaking, everyone understood what Su Chen meant. Su Chen was their mouthpiece, saying what they wanted to say.

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, before Qin Li could even offer his opinion, Qin Feng's brows furrowed deeply.

Whoever finds the dragon vein first, the dragon vein belongs to them.

He was the one who found the dragon vein first.

Every single one in the underground palace now is from later periods.

Does anyone follow this rule? Who can he complain to?

"Get lost!"

Qin Li immediately retorted, "Are you even fully grown yet? Trying to act like a hero!"

Su Chen was immediately enraged.

So what if I'm young? Don't you know that heroes emerge from among the young?

Older people like Qin Li should stay at home and not embarrass themselves by going out, lest they become a laughingstock.

"I refuse to accept this!"

Su Chen shouted, "If you've got the guts, let's have a match! If I lose, I'm leaving right now!"

Before Qin Li could speak, Zhou Biao suddenly jumped out and said, "You want to challenge our Crown Prince? Dream on!"

"If you want to challenge our Crown Prince, you'll have to defeat me, Zhou Biao, first. I, Zhou, am but a lowly mid-stage sixth-rank martial artist!"

"After you beat me, you'll have to beat our Crown Princess Wei Hongying, a peak sixth-rank official!"

"Um?"

Qin Feng frowned deeply again.

When did Wei Hongying become Zhou Biao's princess consort?

Wasn't Wei Hongying the princess consort of the seventh prince?

It felt like an invisible hat was about to be placed on his head, which startled Qin Feng so much that he quickly reached out and touched it.

"That's not all," Zhou Biao continued, "It's not enough that you've beaten me and the Crown Princess; you also have to beat His Highness's spirit pet, the Crimson Serpent, a peak eighth-grade spirit snake!"

"hiss!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped.

His gaze involuntarily fell on the small snake on Qin Li's shoulder.

The seemingly harmless Crimson Serpent actually possessed such high cultivation, surpassing that of 99.9% of the humans.

"If you manage to defeat all three of us, what awaits you are the twelve early-stage ninth-rank experts, eight mid-stage ninth-rank experts, four late-stage ninth-rank experts, and two peak ninth-rank experts from our First Prince's residence who accompanied us on this trip!"

Thump thump!

Many people fainted from fright.

There's no need for that. It's just an ordinary Dragon Vein Conference, why did Qin Li have to reveal all his secrets?

Following the normal trajectory of their lives, they might never even meet a ninth-rank master in their entire lives.

Why am I seeing so many people today?!

Upon hearing this, Su Chen's expression turned extremely ugly.

Depend on!

That's not fair.

Isn't this bullying honest people?

Yes, yes, the First Prince's residence has a profound foundation and countless experts.

He immediately threw out four twos along with two kings.

They're all just petty scoundrels.

"If, and I mean if, you've already defeated all these people, you'll still have to defeat the Grandmaster Snake Elder, a retainer of our First Prince's residence and one of only three Grandmasters in our Great Zhou, before you can challenge our First Prince!"

puff--

Su Chen was so angry he felt like he was going to spit blood.

How can there be anyone in this world more shameless than him?

If he could defeat Grandmaster Snake Elder, would he need to challenge Qin Li? He would have become the number one in the world long ago.

Zhou Biao completely disregarded Su Chen's contempt, acting arrogantly and not even realizing who Su Chen was, as he was simply copying him.

When their eldest prince Qin Li becomes shameless, he can definitely infuriate Su Chen to death!

"Your Highness!"

Su Chen shouted each word clearly, his anger like a raging bull, "You bully the weak, you gang up on the few, you take advantage of your size!"

"If word gets out, where will you put your face?!"

"Shut up!" Qin Li glanced sideways at Su Chen as if he were trash.

And this guy calls himself the protagonist? He doesn't look like a protagonist at all; all he does is yell and shout.

Look at Qin Feng and Fang Yuan, they're the real protagonists, they don't say a word, they just wait to reap the benefits.

You, Su Chen, have been used, and you don't even realize you've been made a scapegoat.

Reaching out, Qin Li patted the armrest of the golden dragon throne and plopped down on it, crossing his legs like a lord. "You're not convinced, are you? Fine, this prince will give you a chance to challenge me."

"Make your move!"

Su Chen was waiting for Qin Li to say those words.

He gripped the halberd with both hands and rushed towards Qin Li, who was on the dragon throne high above.

Once he reached the bottom of the steps, Su Chen leaped high into the air, gripped the halberd with both hands, and raised it above his head, determined to smash the dragon throne and the man together with a single blow.

Purple lightning power surged everywhere, crackling and popping.

"So strong!"

The breathing of everyone who witnessed the whole thing became rapid.

This move is definitely Su Chen's most powerful and strongest move.

Even Qin Feng and Fang Yuan couldn't help but show a look of shock when they saw it.

If it were a head-on confrontation, they probably wouldn't be a match for Su Chen either.

Su Chen has truly acquired a fine weapon.

"Your Highness, get out of the way!"

Wei Hongying cried out in alarm, fearing that Qin Li would perish, as her love had only just begun.

Qin Li responded with a calm look, remaining seated on the dragon throne without moving an inch.

Qin Li blinked his long, deep eyes only when Su Chen jumped to the same height as him.

Blood Eye Technique!

Blood-red hues instantly filled Qin Li's eyes.

Su Chen, who was in mid-air, seemed to be electrocuted and suddenly fell face down.

With a thud, it crashed heavily onto the steps.

"What happened?"

"How did Su Chen lose?"

"Yeah, what exactly happened!"

"Your Highness, when did you make your move?!"

The crowd looked at each other, completely bewildered as to how Su Chen had been defeated.

Su Chen was like a kite whose string had been suddenly cut, plummeting straight down.

"How is that possible?"

Qin Feng and Fang Yuan looked on in disbelief and spoke in unison.

Su Chen had just obtained a great opportunity, and his strength had increased dramatically. His full-force attack was something that even a sixth-grade martial artist might not be able to withstand.

As is widely known, the eldest prince Qin Li has only known how to indulge in pleasure over the years. Despite possessing countless top-tier martial arts manuals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he only has the strength of a mere fourth-rank cultivator.

How could they have defeated Su Chen so quietly, without even seeing how Qin Li made his move?

"What's impossible?"

On the dragon throne, Qin Li withdrew his blood-red eyes, looking speechless.

Back in the capital, with Xiao Xue'er's help, he successfully advanced to the fifth rank.

Now, having absorbed the extremely pure Yin energy from Bai Zhenzhen's body, his strength has reached the mid-stage of the sixth rank.

Although the Blood Eye Technique has mostly auxiliary functions, it can temporarily confuse the minds of others.

Su Chen's loss was not unjust!
