Chapter 72 - Martial Tournament

“Barely any people…” Chen Heng understood what Corripo was saying and asked, ‘Does that mean apart from teacher, there are still people who can easily defeat me?”

“There’s a reason that the Kutu royal family has survived for so long.”

Corripo said calmly, “In actuality, the Kutu royal family’s power far exceeds that which you see.

“It’s just that under normal circumstances, they are like me and do not concern themselves with the Kutu royal family’s internal affairs.”

“The Kutu royal family’s internal affairs…”

Chen Heng muttered, before looking at Corripo seriously, “Teacher, I don’t quite understand.”

“You want to ask why I’m the royal family’s Guardian Knight, yet why I usually don’t act?” Corripo shook his head as he said, “For us people, in order to obtain some things, we made an agreement with the King that we would help him at critical moments. However, this agreement is only with the King and not the Kutu royal family.”

“So it’s like that.” Chen Heng nodded.

Even though he did not know what kind of agreement Corripo had with the King, it seemed that Corripo only served the King himself.

As for Olivia and Grith, it was not within his duty to serve them.

This made things very clear.

“It’s enough for you to have some basic understanding of this,” Corripo said as he shook his head, “Of course, you are my disciple, so if I can, I will also help you.”

Hearing this, Chen Heng’s expression did not change, but he inwardly felt delighted.

Corripo had made himself very clear.

With these words from Corripo, Chen Heng’s future plans would go quite smoothly.

After all, Corripo was the most powerful being in the Kutu Principality, as well as a top-tier Great Knight.

After chatting for a while, Krudo brought Chen Heng back to his own residence.

After returning to his residence, the first thing that Chen Heng did was madly eat.

Using the Black Wolf’s Blood not only used up much of his mental energy but his physical strength as well.

He had been in an intensely hungry state this entire time, but he had endured it.

After getting home, he began to devour food.

Verna, who arrived a bit after, felt that this kind of appetite was quite terrifying.

“What did you do?” Verna could not help but ask as she looked at Chen Heng.

“I just went to take care of some things, so I’m somewhat tired,” Chen Heng said softly as he smiled and patted her head.

The next day, he went into the palace to see Olivia.

“You’ve already awakened your Life Seed?”

Looking at Chen Heng and hearing the news that he brought, a look of shock appeared on Olivia’s face.

Her shock soon turned to delight.

After Chen Heng had married Verna, his relationship with her had become quite close, and he was now one of her subordinates.

Chen Heng awakening his Life Seed and becoming a true Knight meant that the forces under her command had become stronger.

“How does the current you compare to Mader from before?” she asked.

Chen Heng thought for a moment before replying honestly, “I’m stronger.”

“Are you sure?” Olivia’s eyes widened as she looked at Chen Heng.

Meeting Olivia’s gaze, Chen Heng did not hesitate and directly nodded.

“Very good,” Olivia nodded, “make some preparations. Two months later, I’ll have you face off against another Knight. Do you dare?”

Chen Heng did not speak and only silently nodded.

At the same time, he thought to himself.

In two months.

If he remembered correctly, Olivia seemed to be organizing a tournament to demonstrate her power.

Chen Heng would probably face his opponent there.

In that moment, many thoughts flashed through Chen Heng’s mind.

In the following two months, Chen Heng stopped doing many things and focused on training while keeping Verna company.

During this period, the Martial Tournament that Olivia held began to start.

The so-called Martial Tournament was one of Kutu’s traditions. It was held once every five years, and in the past, it had always been officiated by the King personally.

Now that the King had become bed-ridden, an exception was given for Olivia to officiate.

For Olivia, this Martial Tournament was an important opportunity. If she played her cards well, she would be able to increase her reputation and show off her power.

It was evident that her opponents would not allow things to go as she wished.

Before, Olivia had given Chen Heng much advice out of worry; this was most likely why.

After all, after Mader had been injured, the forces under her command had diminished.

She seemed to have three Knights under her command, but one needed to look after his territory, and Mader had become crippled while the remaining one had his own tasks to do.

All of them had their own circumstances and could not attend this Martial Tournament.

Under such circumstances, Chen Heng’s appearance greatly reduced the pressure on her.

Under countless gazes, this Martial Tournament began.

“Hello, I am Verdo from the Oligdo family of the Olis Kingdom.”

On the sparse arena, a young man sat on his horse with a lance, a proud look on his face, “State your name, Knight.”

“Kailin from the Nardo family of Dafin,” Chen Heng’s gaze was calm as he replied.

“You’re the Kailin who married the Princess?”

Verdo looked a bit surprised. After looking at Chen Heng’s appearance, he nodded and said, “You indeed have good looks. However, I wonder if you have enough strength.”

He coldly laughed as he spurred his horse forwards.

It had to be said that this young Knight from the Olis Kingdom was quite strong and his horse riding skills were also quite proficient.

It was just that facing Chen Heng, the result was already set.

Chen Heng sat on his horse and seeing the lance stab at him, his body did not move as he swept out with his hand and sent the lance flying.

This was a shocking scene.

With the momentum from the charge, the force behind the lance was incredibly great; moreover, its length was not something an arm could compare to.

With such a charge, even if the lance did not have a sharp tip, it could spear through someone.

However, Chen Heng only waved his hand almost casually, and yet he had sent that massive lance savagely flying away.

Crash!

The young man was also sent flying by the force and heavily landed on the ground.

Victory and defeat had been decided.

All around them, the crowd cheered intensely, calling out Chen Heng’s name.

Following this was one battle after another.

According to the rules, Chen Heng faced each opponent at the designated time.

Sometimes, his opponents would be experienced Knights, and at other times, his opponent would be dozens of Outlander warriors from the desert.

However, facing all of them, he was able to defeat all of them easily.
