quiet----

The entire scene was utterly silent, as if time had frozen at that moment. The silence was eerie and terrifying. This sudden change was so swift and bizarre that it far exceeded the imagination and response capabilities of everyone present!

Master Zhuang, who had always been so revered and so highly anticipated, had only survived for ten breaths on this stage! If word of such an incredible result spread, no one would believe it!

Li Xingfeng's face was as pale as paper, and he stumbled backwards involuntarily, each step heavy and difficult. He stared wide-eyed, his gaze like two torches shooting straight at Li Xingyun, muttering to himself.

"This... this is impossible! Absolutely impossible!" At this moment, the shock and disbelief in his heart had reached the extreme, because he could not accept it no matter what. Master Zhuang, who was considered the top powerhouse in Shenwu City and the dean of Haoran Academy, died without any warning!

Faced with Li Xingfeng's loss of composure, Li Xingyun simply smiled softly, then slowly shook his head and said calmly, "Haha... You clearly saw it with your own eyes, so why don't you believe it? As the saying goes, those who bring disaster upon themselves will suffer. He's completely courting his own destruction. Who else can you blame?"

"Is Master Zhuang...Zhuang really dead?" Someone in the crowd broke the silence first and asked in a trembling voice.

"How is it possible! He is a top-notch expert, how could he die so easily?" Another person echoed, his face full of astonishment.

"I... I don't know, but it looks like he's really dead..." Someone answered stutteringly, his eyes still fixed on the motionless body on the ring, still holding on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that all this was just a nightmare.

Many people stared blankly at the scene on the arena, their eyes wide open, faces filled with disbelief. Many of them couldn't even accept this cruel fact for a moment. After all, Master Zhuang had always been a lofty and powerful figure in their minds. To see him end so abruptly was truly shocking and heartbreaking.

However, at this moment, Li Xingyun's eagle-like eyes left no room for imagination. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his deep gaze fixed directly on the young eunuch, as if he could see through everything. Then, in an undeniable and authoritative tone, he said in a deep voice, "The winner has been decided. Come to the stage and announce the result!"

These words were like thunder, deafening, their powerful aura trembling with fear. Upon hearing these words, the young eunuch's body trembled violently, as if struck by lightning. He didn't dare to delay even a moment, hurriedly moving his legs and stumbling towards the ring. His nervousness nearly caused him to fall, but he eventually managed to steady himself and reach the stage.

After standing still, the young eunuch took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly with all his strength: "In this battle, Ye County under the command of the Thirteenth Prince won, and the Thirteenth Prince scored another point!" The voice echoed in the air and was clearly heard by everyone present.

With this announcement, the entire venue fell silent. Everyone turned their gazes to Li Xingyun, their eyes filled with awe and admiration. At this moment, Li Xingyun had already accumulated seven points, far ahead of the other princes. Among the princes, the highest scorer was Li Xinghu, but even so, he only had a mere three points. Even if Li Xinghu won every round of the upcoming prince competition, he would only be tied with Li Xingyun at best.

Moreover, leaving aside the mediocre Third Prince Li Xingfan and Eighth Prince Li Xingfeng, even Sixth Prince Li Xingmin would struggle to defeat Li Xinghu alone. Facing such formidable opponents, surpassing Li Xingyun was simply a fantasy. After all, Li Xingyun was like a towering mountain, daunting and insurmountable.

Before the young eunuch could even open his mouth to announce the start of the next round of competition, the Second Prince had already strode onto the stage with big strides. His agile posture and imposing manner instantly attracted the attention of everyone present!

At this time, the Second Emperor stood on the ring, towering like a mountain. He shouted in a voice like a bell: "At this point in the competition, the winner has already been decided. In my opinion, there is no need to continue this competition between princes! Here, I officially announce that the final winner of this competition is the Thirteenth Prince - King Qin Li Xingyun!" After that, the Second Emperor deliberately showed an extremely kind and friendly smile in the direction of Li Xingyun.

Then, the Second Prince slowly swept his gaze over the other princes present, lingering a little longer on the Second and Sixth Princes in particular. He felt that if anyone was truly dissatisfied with the outcome of the competition, it would undoubtedly be these two princes.

As for Li Xingmin, the possibility is not very high. After all, even if he is lucky enough to draw the champion position and can win four consecutive competitions, he still cannot win the final victory.

However, a scene that surprised everyone happened without warning! Just when everyone thought that Li Xinghu was the most likely and should jump out to express his dissatisfaction, he unexpectedly became the first to speak out! Li Xinghu said loudly, "This king has no objection to this result!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present instantly focused their attention on him! It was as if countless blazing rays of light intertwined together, forming a web of attention that could not be ignored.

Li Xinghu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer, and responded bluntly: "Haha... why are you looking at me? Am I wrong? If you are not convinced, you can stand up and defend yourself!" His words were like a sharp sword, piercing everyone's heart.
