”Senior Ghost King, what do we do now?”
Although the martial arts of this world were well-developed, its medicine arts were not as thriving. A single pill was extremely valuable, and the best alchemists in the realm usually worked for the Imperial Palace.
These pills were primarily for the use of the imperial household, and even Kings did not have many. But it seemed that Wang Chong had his ways of getting his hands on them.
”Heh!”
The Ghost King faintly smiled, a subtle gleam in his eyes.
”Now this is amusing! So he already prepared a few things for Zhao Fengchen, but no matter how much he's prepared, it can't change the final result! Let him be! Send the fourth Vice Marshal!”
Hou Junji said no more, but everyone immediately calmed down. From the look on the Ghost King's face, everything was clearly going according to plan.
The matches on the drilling ground continued, and as expected, the next Vice Marshals all chose to challenge Zhao Fengchen.
Even though they saw Zhao Fengchen consume medicine to restore his Stellar Energy, these Vice Marshals showed no hesitation, and by the end, a total of six out of twelve Vice Marshals had challenged Zhao Fengchen.
And their battle styles were all the same, choosing to directly fight Zhao Fengchen to consume his Stellar Energy.
”I don't believe that they didn't see the medicine Zhao Fengchen is carrying! What are they trying to do by taking turns challenging Zhao Fengchen?”
Bai Siling gradually grew more confused. They should have sensed that their plan was ineffective, but they showed no signs of changing course.
Wang Chong looked to the north and indifferently said, ”Pills can restore Stellar Energy, but they can't restore mental strength or physical strength.”
The Army-Shattering War God truly had meticulous plans, exploiting every single detail. But just as the Eastern Palace had its plans, so did he.
”Siling, uncle, stay here. I'll be out for a bit.”
Wang Chong quickly began to work his way through the crowd to the other side.
”Senior, Wang Chong is moving!”
Goguryeon Eagle King Kim U-Seok had been watching Wang Chong's movements. Wang Chong was far more important in this competition than Zhao Fengchen, and the Eastern Palace was on high alert when it came to him.
”Go!”
The Ghost King raised his finger and gestured, not even turning his eyes.
……
”Hold! While the Imperial Army competition is in progress, no one is allowed to approach!”
When Wang Chong was still twenty-some meters from Zhao Fengchen, there was a flash of light, and two Golden Guards emerged to bar his path, fiercely glaring at him.
The sudden turmoil drew the attention of the surrounding crowd, as well as Zhao Fengchen.
Although he was brimming with Stellar Energy, if one looked carefully, one could see fatigue in his eyes. Wang Chong's judgment had been correct. The Eastern Palace's implementation of the rotation strategy had successfully consumed his physical and mental strength.
”Your Highness, His Highness the First Prince has ordered that no one is to disrupt the competition while it is ongoing.” There was a sinister voice from the crowd, and then Meng Tu, who had apparently been waiting for some time, walked forward. ”Your Highness is not thinking of defying this decree, yes?”
Meng Tu coldly smiled. Two Golden Guards could not stop Wang Chong, so he had also been dispatched.
”Ha!”
Wang Chong merely smiled and ignored Meng Tu. His right foot had been stepping forward, but at this moment, it withdrew and softly hit the ground.
Bang!
As he put his foot down, an invisible Stellar Energy reached out from the sole of his foot and traveled through the ground, rumbling into Zhao Fengchen's body.
”Not good!”
Meng Tu grimaced, and while he had been a step behind, he had still realized what was going on.
He put his foot down, instinctively sending a stream of Stellar Energy to stop Wang Chong, but this action only brought down humiliation upon himself. A split-second after he put his foot down, a repellant energy rose from the ground.
”Ah!”
Meng Tu cried out as he was knocked away.
Meng Tu put all his strength into steadying himself and dropped back to the ground. When he saw the cold smile on Wang Chong's lips, he instantly scowled.
