Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 785 - 779: Magic Power_1

"A natural-born king!"

"For several epochs, this is the first time such a talented prodigy has emerged. The Heavenly Court of the Qin Dynasty is indeed extraordinary!"

On the mountain peak, Great Elder Jiang Xuan was deeply surprised. Others may not see Xiang Yu's true talent, thinking him merely an unparalleled prodigy. But my ancestor was Emperor Jiang; my insight is exceptional! From the phantom that appeared behind Xiang Yu during that battle, I can deduce his true talent. According to intelligence reports, the Qin Dynasty has several more formidable generals capable of rivaling him!

Thinking this, Jiang Xuan broke into a delighted smile, shocking the instructors seated below him. When had the typically stern and reserved Great Elder ever smiled so radiantly? Is it because of the Qin Heavenly Court?

「Chaos erupted on Sleeping Dragon Mountain!」

After Xiang Yu seized Ning Sui Feng's palace, the other prodigies of the Qin Dynasty also joined the fray, successfully capturing palaces. This action successfully ignited the fighting spirit of the prodigies who arrived later; they began searching for "prey" and issuing challenges one after another.

For a time, battles raged ceaselessly on Sleeping Dragon Mountain. The mountain bustled with activity, a constant cycle of challengers and defenders embodying the saying, "You finish your song, and I take the stage." The fierce fighting severely damaged Sleeping Dragon Mountain's environment.

This situation persisted for half a month. Only when all the human prodigies from the myriad realms had arrived at Sleeping Dragon Mountain did things begin to calm down. This was because another major event had captured everyone's attention: the New Students' Grand Competition was about to begin!

"Three days from now, all new students are to gather in the square for the 'New Students' Grand Competition.' During this period, private duels are strictly prohibited!" An authoritative and cold voice reverberated between Heaven and Earth.

Immediately afterward, a profound power, like a cascade of myriad shimmering lights, flowed down from the mountain peak. Wherever it passed, it was as if time itself was rewound. In the blink of an eye, the sections of the mountain damaged by the battles were restored to their original state.

The New Students' Grand Competition!

Inside his palace, Qin Wudao, who had been in seclusion, opened his eyes, a flicker of fighting spirit igniting within them.

However, the strength of the academy's instructors is truly terrifying!

Qin Wudao rose and walked to the window. Seeing Sleeping Dragon Mountain looking exactly as it did when he first arrived, he was inwardly astounded.

For mortals, a broken mirror is hard to mend. But in the eyes of a supreme expert on the path of immortality, it is merely a matter of a thought! Those at the pinnacle of the Dao can even manipulate the great Dao of time, space, and primal chaos, reverse Reincarnation, and bring the dead back to life!

"Your Majesty, Li Ru requests an audience!" At this moment, Dian Wei, standing guard at the door, announced.

"Let him in," Qin Wudao said indifferently.

The palace door opened. Li Ru walked in briskly, his gaze sweeping the room. Seeing Qin Wudao looking out the window at the scenery, he clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, just a moment ago, Ning Sui Feng went to the Crown Prince of Zhou's residence!"

After securing a palace, he hadn't rested. Instead, he had resumed his old task of monitoring Ning Sui Feng's movements. And he had indeed made a significant discovery!

"In other words, the Crown Prince of Zhou intends to act against me during the New Students' Grand Competition?" Qin Wudao asked coldly, without turning his head.

"Indeed!" Li Ru confirmed, his voice laced with apprehension. "The Crown Prince of Zhou is the leading figure of the human race's younger generation, a peerless prodigy with numerous followers. He acts with an overbearing demeanor. If he decides to oppose us, our situation will become exceedingly dire!"

The Crown Prince of Zhou holds a noble status as the heir to the Great Zhou Destiny Dynasty. Although Torch Academy regulations state that conflicts between students are internal matters and their backing forces cannot intervene, influence is still a powerful factor. With the Crown Prince of Zhou's standing, a single call from him would rally countless supporters, potentially leading to many siding with him.

Furthermore, what worried Li Ru most were the senior students at the academy. Great Zhou, being one of the three great Human Destiny Dynasties, had many of its prodigies join Torch Academy with each enrollment. These individuals would undoubtedly be a source of support for the Crown Prince of Zhou.

"There's no need for concern. The Academy has its rules; they wouldn't dare to be too brazen," Qin Wudao stated calmly. Torch Academy is the paramount institution of learning for the human race, holding a transcendent status. Regardless of how powerful the Crown Prince of Zhou's background is, he must adhere to the academy's rules and regulations. Of course, every rule has its loopholes. If the Crown Prince of Zhou is truly set on suppressing the Qin Dynasty, he can still create trouble for us. But am I, Qin Wudao, someone who fears trouble? From being the lord of a minor power on the Primordial Continent to my current standing, the countless crises I've faced, the innumerable life-and-death struggles I've endured... I've lost count myself. The Qin Dynasty is a tough nut to crack. If the Crown Prince of Zhou dares to make an enemy of the Qin Dynasty, he must be prepared to break his own teeth.

Halfway up the mountain, within a certain palace, Ji Huangdao, the Crown Prince of Zhou, was seated in the main position. He looked down at Ning Sui Feng and said coldly, "You imbecile! You were being followed and didn't even realize it?"

He wore a princely robe, its chest embroidered with a four-clawed golden dragon. The dragon's eyes were wide and seemed alive, and one could almost hear a world-shaking dragon's roar emanating from it. Wisps of imperial aura swirled around him, exuding a supreme majesty that prevented others from looking at him directly.

"Th-this... Your Highness, it wasn't intentional!" Below him, Ning Sui Feng—a figure envied by countless prodigies—knelt on the ground like a servant, his face pale as he offered his explanation.

"I'd wager you wouldn't dare!" Ji Huangdao declared with utter confidence. "Now, state your purpose for seeking out this Crown Prince."

When Ning Sui Feng had knocked, Ji Huangdao had already detected Li Ru's presence but chose to ignore it. This was partly due to the academy's regulations, and partly because he simply wasn't interested.

"Your Highness, I implore you to deal with the Qin Heavenly Court!" Ning Sui Feng, still kneeling, said, his face contorted with resentment.

I, Ning Sui Feng, am a man who cherishes his reputation above all! Yet, the Qin Heavenly Court treated me like a beaten cur, driving me from my palace in front of so many prodigies! I must have revenge! That is why I sought out the Crown Prince of Zhou!

"Oh?" Ji Huangdao asked with a smirk. "And why should this Crown Prince help you?"

It was well known that he intended to recruit the prodigies of the Qin Dynasty. In his mind, they had as good as submitted to him already and were practically 'his people.' For Ning Sui Feng to ask him to act against these prodigies was, in essence, asking him to go against his own intentions. However, Ji Huangdao didn't refuse outright. Let's see what price Ning Sui Feng is willing to pay to make me change my mind. Perhaps there will be a pleasant surprise.

"Your Highness, in my opinion, Qin Wudao will never submit to you!" Ning Sui Feng declared, looking up and mustering his courage.

「Instantly!」

The atmosphere in the main hall grew taut. Ji Huangdao's expression immediately darkened, a palpable killing intent emanating from him.

"Your Highness, Qin Wudao is the sovereign of a nation and cultivates the Imperial Dao. How could he ever willingly submit to an outsider?" Enveloped by the killing intent, Ning Sui Feng nonetheless continued calmly, "However, I possess a Cultivation Technique that can control Qin Wudao, and indeed, all the prodigies of the Qin Dynasty!"

"What Cultivation Technique?" Ji Huangdao asked, his eyes narrowing as his voice deepened.

"The Dao Heart Demonic Seed Cultivation Technique!" Ning Sui Feng enunciated, one word at a time.

Hearing this, Ji Huangdao shot up from his seat as if his backside were on fire, his expression shifting rapidly. The reputation of this Cultivation Technique is simply too immense! It's a Cultivation Technique created by the Demon Ancestor himself! Cultivating this technique allows one to nurture a demonic seed and forcibly implant it into a Martial Artist's heart, compelling their submission. While the victim retains their consciousness and intellect, they become incapable of rebellious thoughts. Once implanted with a demonic seed, they effectively become the planter's slave!
