1114 Maintaining the Tradition
From these remaining spatial energy fluctuations, Chu Nan did not pay much attention to the spatial energy fluctuations caused by the battle between the five of them. What he cared about was the change in Prince Sacrido who suddenly disappeared wrapped in black gas.
When he was watching the battle from afar, Chu Nan was already suspicious the moment he saw this scene.
Now that he sensed the various changes left behind in these traces and made a complete calculation of the data gathered through his brain, Chu Nan easily recalled all the changes in the spatial energy in this space at that time and made the judgment that was closest to the truth—that guy had actually opened the spatial wall at that moment!
Logically speaking, if other martial artists below the Star-Grade Martial Artist Realm entered the alternate space, their bodies would definitely be completely destroyed by the violent spatial energy in the alternate space. However, since they dared to do this and had the ability to open the spatial wall, they must have something to rely on.
This should be the reason why Earl Viscanin was certain that the descendants of the royal family of the Declan Empire would not die in the hands of martial artists from other countries.
To be able to open the spatial wall and escape into the alternate space in that extremely dangerous situation just now, how could ordinary martial artists kill them?
“Perhaps this is a special use of the Exterminating Heart Technique?” When he recalled the ball of black gas that surged out of Prince Sacrido’s body, Chu Nan touched his chin and pondered.
If his guess was correct, the mysterious girl he had encountered previously was actually a member of the royal family of the Declan Empire. The cultivation method she cultivated was the Exterminating Heart Technique that shook the Milky Way. What Chu Nan had secretly learned from her should only be a portion of the Exterminating Heart Technique.
In that case, in theory, Chu Nan could also use the Exterminating Heart Technique to open the spatial wall.
However, this was meaningless to Chu Nan. Even if he did not use the Exterminating Heart Technique, it was easy for him to open the spatial wall.
“Hmm… It seems that the royal family of the Declan Empire is not as indifferent to the lives of their descendants as they claim. Under such a powerful life-saving method, as long as they don’t court death, how can they die so easily?”
Chu Nan shook his head and despised the hypocrisy of the royal family of the Declan Empire.
After thinking for a moment, he turned to look in the direction where the other four had fled.
It was obvious that these four fellows knew each other. They did not say a word the entire time, but they cooperated so tacitly. Moreover, the four of them joined forces to surround and kill. Their goal was clear and firm. They were definitely not the kind of small team that could be casually gathered.
Most importantly, these four fellows actually had a powerful faction at the initial-stage Heaven Control Realm. Coupled with their tacit cooperation, ordinary second-stage Heaven Control Martial Artists would definitely not be able to gain any advantage in front of them.
Even an especially powerful second-stage Heaven Control Martial Artist like Hasol could only escape when faced with these four people joining forces.
“What are these four fellows doing?” Chu Nan could not help but frown.
According to the rules announced by the royal family of the Declan Empire, if these four people were discovered to have joined forces, the evaluation they obtained would clearly decrease greatly.
With their original strength, even if they fought alone, they should have obtained good results in the Garden Hunting Assembly.
Therefore, Chu Nan could not understand what they were doing. If they were here for the Garden Hunting Assembly, their current actions were clearly not wise.
If it was for other purposes…
“Could it be that they’re specially here to kill people?”
Chu Nan thought for a moment but still could not understand, so he could not be bothered.
“Alright, who cares what they do? As long as they don’t provoke me, I don’t care. If they really provoke me… Heh, I’ll teach them a lesson then.”
Shaking his head to shake off the thoughts brought about by these guys, Chu Nan focused his attention on his cultivation method research again. He walked around and finally found a relatively hidden cave. He leaned over and entered before starting to perform more detailed research and experiments on the control of the Lightning Star Cloud that had failed a few times.
…
In the space station of Planet Ricardo 60,000 kilometers away from the surface, a tall figure suddenly appeared in a hidden room on the upper floor.
Paramel, who was already waiting inside, immediately went forward with a smile.
“Supremacy Yamucha, it’s been hard on you.”
After saying that, he glanced at Prince Sacrido who was in Supremacy Yamucha’s arms.
“How is he?”
Supremacy Yamucha, who had white hair, a white beard, and a hale and hearty face, looked quite sage-like.
“He’s fine now, but he used Spatial Extermination just now. Even if he wakes up, it’s impossible for him to recover his original strength in the future.”
Paramel glanced at Prince Sacrido, who was still in a coma. He shook his head and sighed, “What a pity. Although Prince Sacrido can’t compare to Prince Montique and the others, he’s still considered one of the more outstanding princes participating in the Hunting Assembly. I didn’t expect him to be eliminated on the first day. It’s really a pity.”
“It’s not a pity to be eliminated.” Supremacy Yamucha shook her head, “Unfortunately, such a talented young martial artist from the Empire who originally had a bright future has his future ruined. It’s really a pity.”
After a pause, Supremacy Yamucha added, “The next time I see His Majesty, I must speak to him again and ask him to abolish the tradition of the Garden Hunting Assembly. This tradition is not beneficial to our empire at all. Instead, it might cause a large number of talented descendants of the royal family and other nobles to die. It’s really a huge loss to the empire. It’s painful.”
At the mention of His Majesty, Paramel could not continue to agree.
He laughed dryly and thought for a moment before sighing, “I believe you must know that countless people in the history of the Empire have already mentioned similar suggestions, but they have always been firmly rejected by the royal family. No one has ever been able to persuade them successfully. Therefore, I think… the royal family and His Majesty probably have their own considerations. Otherwise, the ones who lose the most are the descendants of the royal family after all, and the ones who lose the most are the royal family. I don’t think the royal family doesn’t understand this.”
“Hmph, perhaps they’re just too stubborn and insist on sticking to tradition. They don’t know how to be flexible?” Supremacy Yamucha sneered.
Paramel shook his head and said nothing else.
As a Star-Grade Martial Artist, Supremacy Yamucha enjoyed some special privileges in the empire and could publicly criticize the actions of the royal family. Although he was noble as a Star Field Commander, because he had never broken through to the Star-Grade Martial Artist, his status was not as aloof as Supremacy Yamucha. Of course, he could not casually criticize the royal family.
Moreover, he did not think what Supremacy Yamucha said made sense.
Regarding why the royal family insisted on holding the Garden Hunting Assembly and choosing the heir of the royal family in such a cruel way, there were many guesses and discussions in the Declan Empire. The guess that Paramel agreed with was that the royal family probably had some special goal hidden, which was why they had been doing this.
Moreover, the history of the empire for so many years had also proven that the strength of the royal family was always the strongest in the empire. The other families in the empire could not contend with them at all. Therefore, the royal family’s rule of the empire had always been extremely stable. Even if there were occasional chaos, the final result would always be the same.
Therefore, from this point, the tradition that the royal family insisted on should not be wrong.
From the looks of it, although Prince Sacrido had been eliminated and it was a pity that it would be difficult for his strength to recover in the future, at the very least, Prince Montique and the others would not have any problems.
Once they experienced this Garden Hunting Assembly and stood out from many descendants of the royal family and genius martial artists, their future achievements would clearly only be stronger.
“Paramel, investigate how Prince Sacrido was forced to use Spatial Extermination. I keep feeling that something is wrong,” Supremacy Yamucha suddenly said.
Paramel was stunned. He recalled Prince Lekas’s repeated instructions and wanted to say something, but he had a thought and lowered his head in agreement.
“Okay.”
