Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

With three steps, the army was routed!

The civil officials on the high platform had never imagined such a scene, and even His Majesty was speechless with astonishment.

Only Jun Hongyan stood behind Su Liang, looking at the figure that shocked the entire audience, and smiled almost imperceptibly, like a thin cloud dispersing, disappearing in the wind in an instant.

This little man is making her more and more curious.

[Congratulations on completing the self-selected mission "Intimidate the Army," and receiving the reward "Unrivaled Battle Spirit!"]

Su Liang stood tall before the routed army, his clothes billowing in the strong wind.

Looking at the semi-transparent panel in front of him, Su Liang chuckled and turned to look directly at the emperor on the high throne.

"Your Majesty, is this sufficient?"

His Majesty holds a high position and his word is as good as gold; once he makes a statement before the public, it cannot be changed.

Although the outcome was not what he expected, the fact that they could achieve such a level of skill showed they were no ordinary people, and he was somewhat tempted.

Just then, a loud shout came from afar.

"Wait a minute!"

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw the Fourth Prince walking towards them with his hands behind his back, clearly having changed his clothes.

Behind him followed a middle-aged man over forty years old, dressed in a blue outfit, with a full beard and a sinister look in his eyes; he was clearly a ruthless character.

"We're still ten seconds short of the agreed-upon thirty seconds, and Qianjun is still one person short!"

As soon as the Fourth Prince uttered those words, everyone with discerning eyes knew what he meant. They all frowned slightly, clearly disgusted by his petty and scheming behavior.

However, since the other party was the fourth prince, none of the civil and military officials dared to say anything.

This little trick naturally did not escape the Emperor's discerning eye, but the Emperor also wanted to test Su Liang's true strength, so he remained silent, which was considered tacit approval.

Having just been so frightened that he wet his pants in front of so many servants, the Fourth Prince harbored a deep grudge. Now that his chance had come, how could he possibly miss it? He grinned maliciously.

"Although your father ordered you to endure the pressure of a thousand soldiers for thirty seconds, considering that you have already endured the pressure of nine hundred and ninety-nine imperial guards for twenty seconds, in order to be fair, you only need to endure the pressure of this last imperial guard for ten seconds."

These words sounded very fair, even magnanimous, but Jun Hongyan's expression was quite unpleasant.

Others may not know, but as the true master of Tianwen, she knows everything about the people around the Fourth Prince.

This middle-aged man with a sinister look in his eyes was not a member of the Imperial Guard at all, but a master kept in the mansion by the Fourth Prince for his own safety. This man even possessed the strength of the Life Palace Realm Opening Wheel.

In the path of cultivation, the differences between each level are enormous.

Even though Su Liang performed exceptionally well just now, it's simply wishful thinking for him to cross ten minor realms and one major realm!

Forget about persevering, there's no escaping it!

This emperor

My brother is clearly trying to kill his little man!

Seemingly noticing Jun Hongyan's cold gaze, the Fourth Prince looked over and sneered.

"Princess sister, please don't blame your brother."

“My dear sister, you are not very capable. If you were to marry a good-for-nothing, I would be worried. I am doing this for your own good.”

As he spoke, the Fourth Prince's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he turned to the Life Palace Realm expert beside him.

"Go, don't hold back!"

Upon seeing this, Jun Hongyan frowned slightly, made a gesture at her waist, and held a tiny, reddish-brown tobacco pellet in her hand, seemingly ready to crush it at any moment.

As the true master of Tianwen and Baiyujing, Jun Hongyan is never short of experts, with no fewer than ten secret guards protecting her.

As long as she crushes the tobacco pill and sends the signal, she can take the life of that expert at the Life Palace Realm with a single inhale.

Just as she was about to exert her strength, she suddenly heard Su Liang's powerful voice.

"I'm willing to give it a try!"

Jun Hongyan was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

Although they had only met three times, she knew very well that Su Liang was not someone who couldn't distinguish between strong and weak.

Despite facing someone far more powerful than himself, he still risked his life to try.

Was it because he was confident, or because of himself?

Thinking of this, a blush appeared on Jun Hongyan's face. She didn't loosen her grip on the tobacco pill in her hand and whispered to Su Liang.

"Be careful."

Su Liang responded with a confident smile upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, I still need to stay alive to see you put on your wedding dress!"

This scene made Jun Hongyan feel like her heart was about to skip a beat.

But she showed no emotion on her face, only nodding slightly.

The fourth prince watched the interaction between the two from the side, his face filled with disdain.

"Kill that brat, and I'll reward you handsomely!"

Upon hearing this, Qiang Zhen, who was at the Life Palace Realm, wore a greedy smile and walked straight to Su Liang, stopping a foot away from him.

"Kid, we have no grudge against each other. Blame your bad luck!"

As he spoke, the expert from the Life Palace unleashed his combat pressure without hesitation, and the immense pressure instantly enveloped Su Liang.

For a moment, Su Liang felt as if he were sinking to the bottom of a ten-foot-deep pool, and even breathing felt extremely difficult.

Su Liang had no doubt that if he didn't fight back, his internal organs would be crushed.

Chapter Seven: Forbidden Techniques, Unrivaled in the Arena

Jun Hongyan saw everything clearly from the side, and tightened her grip on the tobacco pill slightly.

The emperor on his high throne and the ministers on the high platform were all watching the situation on the martial arts stage intently.

Su Liang tried to circulate his internal energy to alleviate the pressure, but found it to be completely futile.

Soon, his legs, and even his entire body, seemed to detach from his own senses and became completely unresponsive.

And this only lasted for less than three or four seconds.

Compared to someone at the Life Palace Realm, he was so weak he wasn't even worth an ant!

But... it's not entirely impossible to resist.

Feeling the increasingly intense gazes, Su Liang's heart stirred, and he involuntarily cried out,

"Cataclysm Begins, the Universe Shakes!"

Instantly, an ancient and powerful pressure burst forth from Su Liang's pupils, heading straight for the expert in the Life Palace realm.

Its gaze is invisible, yet sharp as lightning, carrying boundless power as it surges forward.

The once relaxed and complacent expert from the Life Palace was now horrified, unable to react at all, only filled with endless fear!

There's no way to hide, no way to avoid it, the only option is to get hit!

"boom!"

The other side.

Before anyone could see what Su Liang did, the expert from the Life Palace was sent flying backwards and crashed heavily into a pillar at the edge of the training ground.

The expert from the Life Palace realm slid to the ground, struggling to get up but failing. Instead, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, having been severely injured by Su Liang's attack.

Upon seeing this, the four emperors stared wide-eyed, their expressions filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible? You must have cheated..."

The fourth prince was about to unleash a torrent of abuse on Su Liang when he was met with the still-powerful Eye of the Universe, and he immediately choked back his words.

Her legs trembled uncontrollably, and that unpleasant, strange smell permeated the air once more.

The civil and military officials witnessed all of this, and while they were disgusted by the Fourth Prince's disgraceful behavior, they agreed with his words even more.

For a young lad to inflict such severe damage on a Life Palace expert with just a glance, he must possess at least the Profound Realm strength.

If Su Liang had the strength of the Profound Realm at such a young age, he would be even stronger than the number one genius in the world. The imperial dynasty would have discovered such a talent long ago.

All the officials felt that there was absolutely no such possibility; they were more inclined to believe that Su Liang had secretly hired a master to help him.

Putting aside the civil and military officials, if Jun Hongyan hadn't been certain that the tobacco pill in her hand was still intact, she would have thought that it was someone from her own Baiyujing who had made the move. At that moment, she became even more curious about Su Liang's true strength.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince is right."

"Your Majesty, we implore you to make a wise judgment!"

.......

With these thoughts in mind, the officials offered their advice one after another.

These people made no attempt to conceal their voices, and the sound carried by the wind to Su Liang's ears.

Su Liang glanced over at it immediately.

That single glance was incredibly oppressive; its aura surged towards the officials like a tidal wave, silencing them all.

Those civil officials

Many people didn't even have the courage to look up and meet the gaze of others; some were even trembling and wanted to kneel down.

His Majesty took in all of this and exclaimed repeatedly.

"Good good!"

"Su Liang, is it? I have indeed seen your determination, that is the case."

"By imperial decree, I hereby bestow marriage upon Su Liang and Princess Jun Hongyan of the Great Qin Dynasty. A date will be set for their engagement ceremony!"

Upon hearing this, Su Liang instinctively looked at Jun Hongyan, smiled, and then turned back to the Emperor.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

Jun Hongyan also walked to Su Liang's side and bowed slightly towards the high position.

"Thank you, Father Emperor, for granting my request."
