Legend of the Asura Emperor

Incredibly, he uttered in a trembling voice, "A Spirit... Spirit Platform Realm expert!"

"A Spirit Platform Realm expert in their teens? How is that possible? Who exactly are you?"

Li Yu swallowed hard, and the murderous aura emanating from him instantly diminished by more than half.

Even if he held a noble status, he was only a Core Formation Realm cultivator. Compared to a Spirit Platform Realm expert, he was nothing.

If Jun Han, who killed Li Mazi, was truly a Spirit Platform Realm expert, then Li Mazi could only dare to be angry but dare not speak out.

Who can blame them when they're stronger?

In this dog-eat-dog world, strength reigns supreme!

“My name is Junhan. I think you have all heard of me.”

Jun Han smiled slightly and uttered a single sentence, which stirred up endless waves in the hearts of everyone present.

"Jun...Jun Han? Could he be the foolish prince who's been mentally challenged for sixteen years? That can't be, can it?"

"What foolish prince? Your information is truly out of touch. According to the latest news from the Prince's Mansion, Prince Junhan has regained his senses and his cultivation has reached the third level of the Spirit Platform Realm! Yesterday, he not only dealt with the Grand Elder of the Prince's Mansion, but also took over as Prince, and has already ordered a full-scale war against Hexi Prefecture!"

"What? Young Master Junhan has already reached the third level of the Spirit Platform Realm? No wonder he easily killed four Qi Condensation Realm cultivators with a single sword strike just now, and his cultivation is so terrifying! It seems that the news that came from the Prince's Mansion yesterday was true!"

There are no secrets in the world; everything that happened at the Prince's mansion yesterday has already been spread.

But no one could believe that a fool who had been mentally challenged for more than ten years would suddenly become so powerful!

Sixteen years old, at the third level of the Spirit Platform Realm?

How could anyone believe something so absurd, more like a fantasy?

But if they knew that Jun Han had broken through from the third level of the Spirit Platform Realm to the ninth level in about a day, from last night to just now! Even He Xiao, the sect leader of the Earth Dragon Gate, died because of Jun Han's speed, they would probably be even more frantic!

"I really didn't expect that Prince Junhan's talent would be so terrifying! With such talent, it will only be a matter of time before he enters the Nascent Soul stage. At that time, our Tianchuan County will become one of the top counties in the Hanwu Kingdom!"

"Yes! Ever since the former prince disappeared, our Tianchuan County has consistently ranked low among the twenty-four counties, enduring endless ridicule from other counties! Now, with such a powerful talent as Prince Junhan, our Tianchuan County will soon be able to hold its head high!"

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

As the crowd was discussing this, someone took the lead, and the others immediately followed suit and began to worship.

In an instant, everyone on the first floor, except for Li Yu, knelt respectfully on the ground.

"Everyone, get up."

Jun Han was not surprised by the reactions of the crowd.

If he hadn't displayed the formidable strength of the Spirit Platform Realm, even if he were truly a prince, they wouldn't have treated him with such respect.

Therefore, what they are worshipping is not Jun Han's identity, but Jun Han's strength!

As for Li Yu, his expression at this moment was extremely interesting.

The moment Jun Han uttered his name, he knew that no matter what means he used, he could not get revenge!

With his cultivation at the third level of the Spirit Platform Realm, coupled with his status as the Prince of Tianchuan, he was someone he could not afford to offend.

However, he was still somewhat unwilling, so he could only suppress his hatred and say to Jun Hanzhi, "So it is Your Highness, the Prince. I am sorry for not welcoming you properly. It is my fault."

But, if I may be so bold as to ask, what grave mistake did my son commit? Why did the Prince execute him?

"As the ruler of a prefecture and a Spirit Platform Realm expert, Your Highness, I hope you can offer me an explanation."

Jun Han said in a deep voice, "Your son was arrogant and domineering in front of me, and even threatened to kill me. These two points alone are enough to kill him. Do you have any further explanation?"

Jun Han's answer clearly told Li Yu that he did not kill Li Mazi without reason. If he continued to entangle himself with him, Li Yu should be careful not to bring trouble upon himself.

As a cultivator who had been traveling for many years, how could Li Yu not understand Jun Han's meaning? He could only grit his teeth and say, "If that's the case, then it is indeed my son who was wrong! I apologize to the Prince for my son's mistake."

Even though his own son was killed, Li Yu can only suffer in silence now.

He could have offended anyone but his son, but he ended up offending a powerful genius like Jun Han.

If Junhan hadn't been of a relatively good temperament, he probably would have taken his anger out on him.

But after all, it was his own son who was killed, and Li Yu still harbored a lot of resentment in his heart.

Then Junhan suddenly said, "Li Yu, I know you must have a lot of grievances in your heart right now. I can give you a chance and make a bet with you. If you win, I can give Li Ji a proper burial and posthumously confer upon him the title of Commandant of the Army, so that he can die with dignity."

At this point, Jun Han's eyes narrowed slightly, and he paused deliberately.

Li Yu was somewhat taken aback by Jun Han's sudden words.

His son not only had poor cultivation and talent, but was also an idle person. If he continued with this personality, he would be lucky to get the rank of centurion, let alone a military captain.

But at this moment, Jun Han agreed to his request and posthumously conferred upon Li Ji the title of Commandant of the Army!

This is considered one of the top official titles in the entire Tianchuan County. For ordinary cultivators at the Core Formation stage, obtaining this title would be enough to bring glory to their ancestors.

Even if he were a second-tier soul mage, he absolutely could not refuse this official title.

Therefore, Jun Han's sudden offer left him somewhat at a loss.

At this moment, it was impossible for him to take revenge. Moreover, Li Ji had indeed brought this upon himself. Of all people to offend, he had to offend Jun Han, the most powerful and influential prince in Tianchuan County!

Therefore, being able to secure an honor for Li Ji after his death was definitely the last thing his father could do.

After realizing what was happening, Li Yu asked in surprise, "Is what the Prince said true?"

Jun Han laughed and said, "Of course it's true! But the premise is that you must beat me! If you lose, the price you'll have to pay will be very heavy."

Li Yu's gaze sharpened slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "May I ask, Your Highness, what will happen if I lose?"

Jun Han said methodically, "My conditions are very simple. If you lose, you must swear an oath to your inner demons and serve our Prince's Mansion like a slave from now on!"

Jun Han's words shocked everyone in the room.

In the entire Hanwu Kingdom, probably only Jun Han would dare to make a second-tier soul mage work like a slave in the Soul Mage Guild.

Even if someone else had a hundred times the courage, they wouldn't dare to offend a soul mage like that.

Li Yu felt insulted and questioned in a deep voice, "Jun Han, even if you are the Prince of Tianchuan and have amazing cultivation, do you know what the consequences will be for insulting a Soul Mage in the Soul Mage Guild like this?"

Jun Han's eyes flashed, and he chuckled, "I'm not insulting you. On the contrary, I'm giving you face and an opportunity. I hope you understand!"

Jun Han's words were quite meaningful. If it were in the past, a mere second-tier soul mage like him wouldn't even be qualified to carry his disciple's shoes.

But the reason he's making this bet with Li Yu now is twofold: first, to smooth things over between himself and the Soul Master Guild; and second, to find someone to run errands for him, making it easier for him to focus on his cultivation and the development of his own power during this period.

Having once held a high position, he naturally understood that no matter how strong a person is, their strength is limited. Therefore, he must start cultivating his own power from now on.

To cultivate power, a Soul Master who can assist is indispensable.

Therefore, this bet was a win-win situation for him.

Li Yu said in a deep voice, "Fine, whatever the Prince's attitude may be. I only have one question now: what exactly does the Prince want to gamble on?"

Although he was extremely unhappy, Li Yu still held back, since this was the only opportunity to be posthumously awarded the title of Colonel of the Imperial Guard.

Jun Han smiled and said, "Our bet isn't complicated. I heard that your Soul Mage Guild is having a Soul Mage test today, is that right?"

Li Yu was somewhat puzzled by Jun Han's question: "So what if it is?"

Jun Han continued with a smile, "Since that's the case, then it's simple. Our bet is this: if I can pass the Soul Mage test of the Soul Mage Guild, you lose; if I fail, I lose. What do you think?"

"The Soul Mage Test? Has Your Highness gone mad again! That's a test that only advanced Soul Mage apprentices can possibly pass. How could someone like Your Highness, who has never learned Soul Refining Techniques, possibly pass the Soul Mage Test of the Soul Mage Guild? This is a complete joke!"

"Yes! Although the Prince is now incredibly talented and can be considered the number one genius in the Hanwu Kingdom, that is only in the realm of martial arts!"

As for the path of soul refining, I have never heard of such a talent as Your Highness.

Why would the Prince suddenly propose such a bet? Is it because he's overconfident in his abilities, or is he just joking around?

"Hahaha! Did I hear that right? The Prince actually wants to bet this with me?"

Does Your Highness know what a Soul Master is? And what is a Soul Master test?

"Since the Prince is so eager to posthumously grant my son the title of Commandant of the Imperial Guards, he should just say so directly. Why go through all this trouble?"

Li Yu burst into laughter at Jun Han's bet.

To be honest, in his eyes, Jun Han was nothing more than an arrogant brat who didn't know his own limitations.

Relying on his talent and power, he acted recklessly and considered himself the best in the world!

How could someone like this possibly understand the noble and mysterious path of soul refining? He probably doesn't even understand the most basic level of soul refining, yet he claims he wants to pass the soul master test. Isn't that ridiculous?

Li Yu wasn't the only one with this thought; the onlookers also believed that Jun Han was just joking.

But if they knew Jun Han's movement technique, they wouldn't think that way!

Jun Han, as the supreme being of the Cangyun Realm and the God of Soul Arts, was well-versed in the Dao of Soul Arts.

In the Cangyun Realm, if he claims to be second, absolutely no one dares to claim to be first!

If even the God of Soul Arts doesn't understand what a Soul Arts Master is, then who else could?

It's just a low-level soul mage test; he thinks passing it is just a matter of saying a few words.

However, what he wanted was for Li Yu to not believe that he could pass the Soul Master test, so that Li Yu would truly fall into his trap.

"Enough with the nonsense, I'm just asking you this bet: do you dare to accept it?"

Jun Han narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice.

Li Yu sneered disdainfully, "Ha, what is there for this old man to be afraid of? Since it is the Prince's great favor to posthumously confer upon my son the title of Commandant of the Imperial Guard, this old man gladly accepts it!"

Jun Han sneered in return, "Don't be too sure of yourself. If you lose later, you will have to become a servant of my Prince's Mansion for life!"

Li Yu laughed and said, "Then I'll wait and see!"

As a second-tier Soul Mage, no one knew better than him how difficult the Soul Mage test of the Soul Mage Guild was!

Even highly skilled soul magic apprentices trained by renowned masters may not be able to pass easily.

Moreover, Jun Han is someone who has never been exposed to the path of soul refining.

That's even more impossible!

However, he was unaware that he had slowly walked into Jun Han's scheme.

If he knew that Jun Han was completely manipulating him, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
