ck mist tumbled across the sky!


    The Crown Prince''s transformation attracted everyone''s attention. There was a huge uproar.


    "Is he… tainted?"


    "Impossible! How can the Crown Prince be contaminated?"


    "Can someone tell me what''s happening?"


    "He''s tainted. Look, signs are right there!"


    "This is serious. The Crown Prince of the imperial family is contaminated!"


    "There will be mayhem!"


    "How could this happen? The Crown Prince is tainted? Unbelievable!"


    …


    Grand Duke Chongshan, the three generals, and the invigtors from the Seven Ster Academies chose a ce to gather.


    "Grand Duke, what is going on?" asked Gong Han, the First Ster Academy invigtor.


    "Would you believe me if I said I don''t know?" replied the grand duke with a bitter smile. He felt helpless.


    The others exchanged nces. They knew that the high noble wouldn''t hide this if he knew.


    Being something rted to dark apparitions, the Great Qian Empire would never keep it a secret. After all, it could mean the destruction of the realm.


    Dark apparitions had already seeped into the imperial family!


    "The most important thing is to solve this problem first," General Fu Xinn said.


    Old Weng from the Fifth Ster Academy nced at the grand duke and said, "The Crown Prince of the Great Qian Empire is contaminated. The consequences… the empire will be greatly affected if we don''t deal with this matter carefully."


    "Old Weng is right. How shall we deal with the matter?" Sikong the Second agreed and turned to look at the noble.


    Grand Duke Chongshan sighed. "I''ll go and fetch the prince."


    His intention was clear. He would personally restrain the prince to prevent the situation from escting.


    "No!" Nancy from the Second Ster Academy shook her head. Once she had everyone''s attention, she exined, "This is the League Of Talents. Almost every faction in the universe is watching. They might think that the whole imperial family is implicated if you take action personally.


    "The public opinion is powerful. We can''t control how rumors would spread."


    Nancy''s meaning was obvious. The focus was on the Crown Prince of the Great Qian Empire. A clear answer had to be provided to the audience, instead of leaving and keeping everyone in suspense.


    The best way was to control the Crown Prince!


    The grand duke frowned. He knew it was true, but the matter would ultimately affect the image and reputation of the whole imperial family. He didn''t want the Crown Prince to be suppressed in front of that many people.


    It would be a great humiliation for the ruling family!<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    However, he too felt anxious, more than anyone. The prince had devilized; there was no time for hesitation.


    Grand Duke Chongshan controlled his emotions and asked. "What does everyone think?"


    Gong Han pondered for a moment and offered, "Why don''t we let thepetition run its course, just like we did with Valmont?"


    "Valmont is weaker than the Crown Prince. In his current state, Wang Teng might not…." General Fu Xinn frowned. He was a little worried.


    "Why don''t we ask for Wang Teng''s opinion?" Sikong the Second blinked and smiled.


    "Right!" Old Weng agreed right away.


    "That''s good. Let me ask him through voice transmission," General Fu Xinn immediately spoke to Wang Teng, asking if he wanted to continue.


    He also briefed the hero about the matters at y, so he would treat it carefully.


    In the sky above the arena—Wang Teng was observing his opponent when he suddenly received the voice transmission. This stunned him for a moment.


    Then, he nced at the Crown Prince before giving a slight nod towards the sky.


    "Looks like he agrees!" Sikong the Second looked at the youth on the screen with interest.


    "Quite the confident fellow!" Nancy also smiled.


    "All right, let him try." General Fu Xinn shook his head, sighing in his heart.


    Actually, he wanted the young hero to disagree. The Crown Prince was at the core of the matter; one wrong move would have serious implications.


    He couldn''t say so directly, so he gave the hero a word of caution, although ambiguous. He wondered if thed had caught the underlying message.


    However, he wouldn''t stop the match since Wang Teng had the confidence.


    The grand duke acquiesced in silence. Letting Wang Teng take care of the Crown Prince was the best solution at hand!


    The boy was a talent on par with the affected noble. Things wouldn''t blow out of proportion if thetter lost to the earthling.


    The oue would be much better than letting the Seven Ster Academies contain the Crown Prince.


    Wang Teng made note of what General Fu Xinn said and smiled. He was appreciative and grateful for the advice.


    However, it looked like the invigtors from the Seven Ster Academies were hoping he could deal with the problem, so he agreed.


    After all, he had the ability to solve this; he didn''t mind getting involved.


    The Crown Prince had beenpletely devilized by then. There were no emotions in his pitch-ck eyes; cold and eerie, intently looking at his opponent.


    Wang Teng smiled. He raised a hand and hooked his forefinger at the Crown Prince.


    The people in the audience were nervous and fearful at first. However, his actions left them speechless.


    The Crown Prince has already turned into a devil and he still dares to provoke him. How bold is this guy!
