Masquerade in Bridal Attire and Marry the Prince

126. Spirited Young Man

Translator: asassin

The third prince was very quick. Immediately, he opened the travel certificate and took a glance. “Luo Xuan, 16 years old. What a young hero.”

Although the third prince was now in an honorable position, given the fact that he had grown up away from and had only recently returned to the palace, he wasn’t considered a strong competitor for the throne. He didn’t have many forces that could be put in the open either. It would be helpful if he could make friends with this young man.

Having thought of this, he was a bit ingratiating when he declared Du Chuxuan’s age.

Now that the third prince had made the announcement, dissatisfied though they were, the old guys didn’t dare to say anything. They just sat there, looking at Du Chuxuan with a hint of hatred, waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

Du Chuxuan cast a placating glance in Yuxing Tiantui’s direction. After that, he turned to the young man in the ring. “Please.”

It was just simple word, yet it showed his arrogance.

Though he was used to seeing all sorts of geniuses, the young man couldn’t bear such humiliation no matter how good-natured he was. His face went cold instantly. “I am Yang Zhen of Black Sand Sect. Please enlighten me with your instructions.”

“You flatter me.” Du Chuxuan smiled slightly. With a little tap, he landed lightly opposite to the young man. As soon as he did that, the crowd was more than impressed for even many of the good fighters among them would hardly be able to use their internal strength as good as he did.

This challenger was only more powerful than what he had shown. This was what everyone was thinking.

Yang Zhen thought otherwise. He was considered a martial arts genius since he was a child, with extraordinary talent. Wherever he went, he was the center of attention. He had been able to keep a high profile for so many years because of his own efforts, confident that he was in the top three, at least among the younger generation of martial arts practitioners.

After a glance at the incomparably arrogant Du Chuxuan, he grunted coldly and took out his weapon, a Double Moon Wheel.

Du Chuxuan’s eyes narrowed slightly when he saw it.

He couldn’t say that he was proficient in all types of weapons, but it was true that he had a rough knowledge of each one of them. This pair of Double Moon Wheel looked most awe-inspiring when wielded with both hands. However, there were pros and cons. Double Moon Wheel was all about coordination.

 

If one used it well, the wheel would reach the enemy as soon as the last round of attacks ended, as incessant as sea waves, taking the enemy unawares. However, the problem was that it was only good help in close combat. Otherwise, if one attacked from afar, as one threw the wheels back and forth, one wouldn’t be able to defend oneself when retrieved them.

 

Thinking of this, Du Chuxuan turned around and tapped lightly with his feet, his internal force raised a stone and hit the weapon rack.

 

His move made many people gasp. In Wulin, those who didn’t have outstanding skill would be a laughing stock. However, rarely did one see someone travel without a weapon.

Sitting there Ashina Yi looked calmer. “Yang Zhen seems to be a master hand, but he isn’t as talented as my sect brother.” Ashina Yi thought. “He might be able to catch up with sect brother’s current state given another ten years.” He couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought, his sect brother’s talent was simply enviable.

With a hoot, the stone shook a spear off the rack. This made it clear to everyone that Du Chuxuan wanted to beat Yang Zhen by the drawbacks of Double Moon Wheel. It was a solution, not a favored one though.

After all, the people sitting below were all martial arts experts. They knew it took time to become proficient with one weapon and a person didn’t have all the energy to learn every weapon. To them, the fact that Du Chuxuan chose the spear just now showed he wasn’t very good at it.

“Fools.” Jiu Dengdan muttered and poured himself wine. Having been invited here for his reputation, he was just an audience. Naturally, no one would ask him to the ring.

He was amused as he looked at the short-sighted viewers. Thinking back to when he first met Du Chuxuan, he also thought the boy was brainless. But who would have thought that lazy people had lazy ways and that boy could actually learn martial arts just by pondering?

Not to mention eighteen types of weapons, even if it was a hundred and eighty types of weapons, it probably wouldn’t take Du Chuxuan much effort to learn how to use them. Thinking of this, Jiu Dengdan relaxed a bit, but his gaze was directed towards the red-clothed man. The more he looked at him, the deeper his gaze became.

Seeing that Du Chuxuan had picked a weapon that restrained him, Yang Zhen didn’t show much emotion. He was cultivated as a sect seed player. Those people would naturally find him some moves that were used to prevent him from being restrained, so that he wouldn’t be exploited unexpectedly.

Now, the viewers couldn’t wait for a good show. Black Sand Sect was already a big sect. Anyone that dared to challenge it at this point was either with outstanding abilities, or powerful backgrounds. By far, they didn’t even know which sect that Luo Xuan belonged to.

Seeing that Du Chuxuan was also ready, Yang Zhen made a humble greeting and floated towards him with a wondrous formation under feet.

His action gave rise to a round of cheers.

That aside, what Du Chuxuan had shown just now was all flying skills, which spoke for his internal strength and ability to control internal qi. Anyone with that kind of ability, even if not considered a master hand, at least had the ability to escape when fighting one.

It was a surprise that Yang Zhen was quite capable as well.

“If Luo Xuan only has this one skill, he will only be at a disadvantage.” Thought the viewers.

Yang Zhen, however, did not surprise Du Chuxuan. One must have speed if one wants to wield a Double Moon Wheel. Besides, Yang Zhen’s speed was only moderate – it was nothing compared to his.

Not bothering to fight, he just tapped lightly with his feet. No matter how much strength Yang Zhen exerted, he couldn’t even touch a corner of Du Chuxuan’s robe. The two were like playing children, chasing in the ring, while the one that was being chased looked calm and relaxed, which increasingly disturbed Yang Zhen.
