Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

On the Throne, Yuan Shuchun frowned seeing Xiao Ming's actions.

She wasn't happy with this development, especially since she had clearly stated that she didn't wish Xu Peng to be given a chance to recuperate.

With Xiao Ming on the stage, no one would go and challenge XU Peng because they would rather watch Xiao Ming's spar.

Xu Peng, on the other hand, was only frustrated for a second before understanding that Xiao Ming not challenging him was only going to benefit him, so there was no need to hold a grudge over an idiot who wanted fame over resources.

Near the platform, Ye Tian Yun however wasn't thinking that Xiao Ming challenging the inner Court disciples was to make a name for himself, but rather he had something else planned.

'He is most probably going after the manual. That is the only thing that is more important than elixir. But how does this guy know of the manual's value?'

While Ye Tian Yun was trying to understand what Xiao Ming was planning to do, the other party had already entered the second circle.

After landing in the circle, Xiao Ming announced his name, "Xiao Ming, Ninth Peak."

His opponent, the older Inner Court disciples, felt quite annoyed seeing him smirk.

"You really think just because you were ranked first in the Inner Court Entrance Hunt, you can think about going against older disciples, I would warn you first to keep your overconfidence in check."

Xiao Ming cackled when he heard his opponent, "Ha-ha, we will see if you still say the same after this spar."

"Hmph!" The disciple didn't waste any more time and jumped for an attack as he took out his sword.

However, before he even gained momentum, the disciple felt a sudden pain in his stomach as if a huge boulder had just struck him.

In the next moment, he found himself coughing and panting below the stage, trying to understand what had just happened.

Balancing himself, he stood up, and to his shock, he found Xiao Ming still standing in the same place.

"What just happened!?" He asked out loud, bringing the audience back to senses, as were also trying to comprehend what was going on.

…

Even Ye Tian Yun suddenly came back to his senses, 'That speed!'

'He didn't reveal such speed when I kicked him.'

The disciples on both sides are confused about what had happened. Only three disciples in the Hall knew what had transpired. Ye Tian Yun, Yuan Shuchun, and the ice-cold Inner Court disciple.

The disciple was frowning as he looked at Xiao Ming.

'This guy's speed is close to mine. But he's one whole realm below me!'

Frowning, he moved his neck and looked for Yuan Shuchun's reaction.

He found a very rare expression of interest on her face.

This expression made him feel insecure. 'Shit, don't tell me she's now going to recruit Xiao Ming? Damn, things will be troublesome if more people get close to her.'

Meanwhile, Yuan Shuchun was intrigued by Xiao Ming's speed. 'Does this guy have any treasure on him? Such speed is unnatural. I need to keep an eye on him. Let's see how he performs next.'

…

On the stage.

"Well, you should keep your confidence in check before going against lower realm cultivators." Xiao Ming's arrogant voice rang out once again.

The older disciple kicked the ground and went back to his seat. And as soon as he turned, another older Inner Court disciple jumped on the stage.

This disciple however didn't say anything and straight up went for the attack.

Another gust of wind, this disciple was also kicked out of the circle.

Xiao Ming laughed and with a sarcastic tone, he said allowed, 'I am very disappointed with my seniors' performances. I was actually hoping some of you will be able to withstand more than one kick.'

The cold-looking Inner Court disciple who was standing near the throne narrowed his eyes at Xiao Ming's words. He then gave a signal through his eyes, to one of the disciples to challenge Xiao Ming.

As soon as the older Inner Court Disciple got the signal, he jumped on the platform.

…

The cold-looking disciples nodded when he saw the disciple challenge Xiao Ming, just then a maid passed him and went to Yuan Shuchun.

The maid approached Yuan Shuchun and whispered something in her year.

Yuan Shuchun's expression suddenly went from neutral to frowning, and finally anger.

She stared at the maid and with a smirk, she whispered back, "Let them enter. I will teach them a good lesson. Heavenly League is not their backyard where they can come and go whenever they wish."

Even though Yuan Shuchun had only whispered, Ye Tian Yun and that disciple, who were close to the throne, were able to hear her words.

Ye Tian Yun frowned when he heard this, 'Who is coming? An Elder? No, she wouldn't have any reason to stop them. The only people she doesn't like are the ones who are… not in her heavenly League.'

'Is Jiang Yun coming with his World League?'
