If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, I would be arrogant.

"Long Xiaotian, you've gone too far!" Princess Hanli couldn't help but say, "You're only a level two martial artist, yet you challenge someone who doesn't know any martial arts at all. Have you no shame?"

"Hehe, Princess Hanli has misunderstood me!" Long Xiaotian had already returned to normal and smiled slightly, thinking himself very dashing. "Of course I know that Zong Ze is just an ordinary person, so I will suppress my strength to the same level as him to challenge him. Didn't he just mention the Sage Tengyun? I heard that the Sage Tengyun once accepted a challenge from a highly skilled martial artist, and the Sage Tengyun won! So I think Zong Ze shouldn't be too scared to accept my challenge, right?"

"You..." Hearing Long Xiaotian's words, Han Li was at a loss for words. Although everyone knew that as a second-level martial artist who practiced martial arts every day, even if he completely suppressed his strength, he was still not someone that ordinary people could defeat. But Long Xiaotian had still issued the challenge, and on the surface it seemed completely equal. If Zong Ze refused, it would definitely bring shame to the Zong family!

"The first chapter of the 'Dragon Rise' section of the General History of the Continent: Long Feng, the founding emperor of the Dragon Rise Empire. His parents are unknown, but according to Emperor Long Feng's own words after drinking, he was a stable boy in a noble family in the desert when he was young, and his life was even more miserable than that of an ordinary slave!" Zong Ze suddenly said this in a calm tone, and everyone around could tell that Zong Ze's words were a direct response to Long Xiaotian's comment about being a peasant!

After saying this, Zong Ze finally stood up, looked directly at Long Xiaotian and said, "I accept your challenge, and you don't need to suppress your strength."

Upon hearing that Zong Ze had actually accepted Long Xiaotian's challenge, the surrounding children all wore expressions of schadenfreude, while Princess Hanli looked anxious: "Zong Ze, how could you agree to him? He's already a level two martial artist, even I can't beat him, you..."

"It's alright!" Zong Ze gently waved his hand to interrupt Princess Hanli, then smiled slightly at Long Xiaotian and said, "However, according to the rules of challenges on the continent, the challenged party has the right to choose the method of challenge. Isn't that right?"

"That's right!" Upon hearing Zong Ze accept the challenge, Long Xiaotian was overjoyed. He had already decided that he would definitely take advantage of the challenge to beat Zong Ze up and vent his anger! Just as he thought of this, he seemed to suddenly remember something: "Don't say you're challenging me to recite some general history or anything like that. That's a game only children play!"

"I'll grant your wish, no memorization! Although I know you'd definitely lose if I chose to memorize!" Zong Ze said with a faint smile, "Does any of you have bird eggs? I'd love to borrow a few!"

"Where would they find bird eggs? I'll go and steal a few right now! There are bird nests in the big tree in front of the library!" Princess Hanli, standing nearby, seemed to have suddenly transformed. She went from a dignified princess to a lively young girl, shouting and skipping as she ran towards the library exit!

Watching Han Li's retreating figure, Zong Ze secretly shook his head. He couldn't imagine an imperial princess climbing a tree to steal bird eggs. However, Zong Ze then thought to himself, "Strange, why do I feel so irritated every time I think about her being a princess, even though I have feelings for Han Li?"
