Actually Ho Chen did not think too much about the matter of the big name of the Yun empire, yet he was still very much in mind over the treatment of the ten swordsmen who wanted to make a fuss in the restaurant.
"If brother Chen is not interested in this competition, then make sure brother Chen can enter the finals with me!." Said Tiao Ji.
"Why is that?." Ho Chen asked with a raise of his eyebrows.
"Last minute of our fight, brother Chen can give up on me, and I can marry the Princess later!." Tiao Ji said with a small laugh.
Ho Chen only smiled faintly as he shook his head slowly, finally Ho Chen agreed to follow Tiao Ji's wishes.
"All participants please take the number in the box in front." Said General Lin Shang.
The ten participants immediately got up and walked towards the black box that was in front close to where Emperor Cao was sitting.
One by one saluted Emperor Cao and then took the number in the box.
Ho Chen and Tiao Ji also took their numbers, and upon completion they were asked to sit in the front seat close to the arena.
"Alright, now I will call two participants to enter the arena of the match! Player number one against peseta number two. The two participants who held the number in the field went up." Said General Lin Shang.
Two young men immediately got up and walked into the arena, they were Young Master Hang Kwe, from Liu empire, and the opponent was Prince Tang Shai, from Ming empire.
Young Master Hang Kwe was at Peak Sky Level 1, and Prince Tang Shai was also at the same Level.
The two of them each saluted the Emperor then to the audience and the last opponent he would face.
"I'm Hang Kwe, from the Liu empire, please guide the prince!." The Hang Kwe.
"I am Tang Shai, from the Ming empire!." They both introduced themselves.
"Well with this the match begins!."
GO!!!
Gong's voice rang out loud at the start of the match. Prince Tang Shai took out a long Spear, behind the spear was a blue feather. Prince Tang Shai immediately advanced to attack Hang Kwe.
Hang Kwe also took out two single-edged short swords and prepared to welcome the spear attack from the Tang Shai prince.
"The Spear Technique - The Wind Puncture."
The tip of the spear's eye strikes quite quickly and also releases wind energy every time it is thrown towards the opponent.
Hang Kwe tried to dodge and fend off each attack while retreating slowly.
Ho Chen himself watched the two closely, he could also use a spear so as to know how powerful the spear technique used by Prince Tang Shai.
"Sword Techniques - Wolf Taring Attack."
Hang Kwe now counter-attacked with both swords and moved very nimble and intended to give a stab attack.
Prince Tang Shai immediately turned his spear and created wind energy throughout his body before finally being released towards Hang Kwe who was almost approaching him.
Hang Kwe was late to avoid the wind energy attack, but he managed to hold back some of it while the rest he was unable to bear managed to injure his arm.
"The combination of wind and spear, it seems that in addition to being a prince, it turns out you still have time to learn high-level techniques huh!." Said Hang Kwe praising Prince Tang Shai.
Hang Kwe took one more sword so that there were three swords in use. One sword was thrown towards Prince Tang Shai.
Prince Tang Shai dodged the sword that floated towards him easily, but the sword spun and returned in a boomerang-like direction.
Hang Kwe captured the sword with one of his swords, then swiveled it quickly and returned to the prince.
Not only that, simultaneously, Hang Kwe attacked with two swords in his hand and One sword floated like a boomerang.
Prince Tang Shai began to have difficulty facing the extremely unique Hang Kwe attack. Prince Tang Shai's body began to fill with many sword cuts, even his spear was cut in half.
"Swords Technique - Splitting the Wind."
Hang Kwe slashed his two swords simultaneously and saw the mark-shaped sword energy (X) moving towards him like it wanted to cut his body into four.
Prince Tang Shai held back with the tip of his spear pointing towards the middle of the (X) sign, but the thrust of the sword energy was so strong that the prince's body bounced and fell out of the arena.
"The first match was won by Young Master Hang Kwe, with this the first match finished, and Young Master Hang Kwe will go into the next match!." General Lin Shang announced that the first match was over and won by Hang Kwe, of the Liu empire.
All the spectators who came from the Liu empire cheered as Hang Kwe managed to win the match.
"That's great Young Master Hang Kwe, he can wield Three swords at once, will truly be a difficult opponent later on!." Tiao Ji said with a long sigh.
Ho Chen himself could already predict if Prince Tang Shai would lose, it was because he was well aware of the weaknesses of the Spear Technique used by Prince Tang Shai.
The next match will be resumed after a short rest, and some warriors repair the arena with little damage.
"Prince, forgive me!." After finishing the match, Hang Kwe approached Prince Tang Shai and apologized for injuring and defeating him.
"You don't have to apologize like that, losing and winning in that match is natural, this is also a lesson for me so that I can train even more. So I should be very grateful to you because now I already know my flaws." Prince Tang Shai was aware that martial arts and techniques were still not strong enough and there were still so many flaws that he was not discouraged.
On the other hand the prince of Xiu Hei Kong was staring at Ho Chen sharply, what plagued his mind was, he could not measure and know Ho Chen's level of strength at all so that he made himself confused and filled with question marks.
"Actually he's a swordsman or not..?." Inner Prince Xiu Hei Kong for not feeling Ho Chen's energy at all.
After the break time was over, General Lin Shang re-entered the arena and started calling the next participant.
"Now is the time for the next contest, participants number 3 and number 4, please enter the arena." Said General Lin Shang.
Two people entered the arena, different from before because the identity of the family of the participant was already known, now one of the participants was not known, whether he was from a noble family, or an imperial family, or whether he was from a noble family, this caused debate for all spectators even the important people present there.
The person was none other than Ho Chen who got the number Number 4. And his opponent was Pao Zian, he was a descendant of the nobility of the Liu empire.
They both saluted Emperor Cao as did the first participant.
"I am Pao Zian, of the Liu empire! Please guidance brother!." Pao Zian said with a cynical smile as he did not feel Ho Chen's strength at all so consider him an ordinary person.
Pao Zian was confident that he could defeat Ho Chen but needed to put out a lot of moves. And in the other seats also hoping that Ho Chen would lose, they were Prince Xiu Hei Kong and his ten bodyguards.
"I am Ho Chen, of the Yun Empire." Ho Chen introduced himself as well as saluted.
"Well, now the game can start!." General Lin Shang's shout was accompanied by the sound of Gong's punch.
