Chapter 149: Chapter 134 Various Enemies on the Road, King Slaughter’s Plan Begins!_3

There were other top 100 trial participants who had also encountered stronger competitors, were defeated, and eliminated, yet there remained as many as eighty-three. This number was sufficient to illustrate just how formidable these top 100 trial participants were; under normal circumstances, they would not be so easily eliminated.

And Ye Chen found the name of the thirteenth prince in the list, Xia Teng.

To be listed among the top 100 trial participants usually meant being among the leading young elites from the strong nations of the Three Great Empires or even the 108 Countries and also included some promising youths from top forces not much weaker than these powerful nations.

It seemed that for Xiafeng Country to have a top 100 trial participant like the thirteenth prince, Xia Teng, was quite an achievement. And to have someone like the crown prince, Xia Yang, who possessed the qualifications of a divine and was a super expert worthy of the slow ascendancy to kingship, could even be called a miracle.

As for the appearance of an unforeseen talent like Ye Chen, that was something simply unimaginable.

It really made one wonder what Xiafeng Country had done this generation to have such great fortune, producing one prodigy after another, each more extraordinary than the last. Even Hai Qingxue and Han Fei were marveling at the luck of this small kingdom.

Ye Chen pinched the list of top 100 trial participants between his fingers and, after a glance, memorized all their information, revealing a trace of a smile.

The others, seeing this smile on Ye Chen’s face, suddenly felt sad for those top 100 trial participants because those who were originally hunters at the apex of Trial Road would soon become the prey, the prey of one man.

"Sister Qingxue, Han Fei, please also introduce to me those with the qualifications for the slow ascendancy to kingship. I would like to know more about them," Ye Chen said. Although his own strength was indeed formidable, he still needed to gain a thorough understanding of these individuals, as they were all truly young heavenly prides with heavy weapons and worthy of his attention.

The crowd was astonished. Who exactly was Ye Chen, not even knowing who those with the qualifications for the slow ascendancy to kingship were.

Ye Chen said, "I forgot to tell you, actually I only joined Trial Road halfway through. I wasn’t on this path before, and today is my first day."

The others then came to a realization. No wonder Ye Chen’s reputation had never been heard; he had come out of nowhere, hence the mystery.

From the Tianqi Empire, the second prince, Yang Shaoqi, had achieved the Innate Realm at fourteen and was now twenty-two years old but had already reached the Innate Ninth Layer, known as a peerless genius with the potential to break through the shackles and step into the Martial God Realm within three years.

Ever since starting his cultivation, he had never truly tasted defeat among his peers. He had set up a challenge arena in Tianqi’s Imperial City, calling out the young experts of the empire. He won thirty-three consecutive victories with overwhelming prowess and left behind a combat record that was lauded by all.

He was a bearer of great expectations from the Tianqi royal family, a heaven-sent prodigy slated to shoulder the empire’s fortunes, one of the super experts with the qualifications for the slow ascendancy to kingship.

Li Cheng, the sixth prince of the Jiuhua Empire, like Yang Shaoqi, started cultivating at six, achieved the Innate Realm at fourteen, and reached the peak of the Innate Ninth Layer at just twenty-two years of age. A powerful heavenly pride with the strength for the slow ascendancy to kingship.

He once joined the army and participated in battles against outward enemies, having taken the lives of enemy generals amidst hundreds of thousands of troops, creating illustrious war records and proving himself unmatched among the younger generation of Jiuhua Empire.

Long Tenghua, the first prince of the Soaring Dragon Empire, was twenty-three years old. Unlike Yang Shaoqi and Li Cheng, who reached Innate at sixteen, he rose later but within seven short years, broke through to the Ninth Layer, another figure with the qualifications for the slow ascendancy to kingship.

Currently, Long Tenghua stood as a strong competitor for the title of crown prince of the Soaring Dragon Empire.

...

Hai Qingxue meticulously introduced those with qualifications for the slow ascendancy to kingship on Trial Road, naming the super experts from the Three Great Empires and Martial God Temple. Eventually, she even included their ages, cultivation duration, and battle achievements, presenting Ye Chen with a comprehensive understanding.

Finally pausing, she said, "Xia Yang, the crown prince from Xiafeng Country of the 108 Countries, currently twenty-three years old, has cultivated to the absolute peak of the Innate Ninth Realm, possesses divine qualifications, and is one with the qualifications for the slow ascendancy to kingship."

These are the super experts who dominate the current Trial Road, contending for the title of king, and all trialists believe that the ultimate victor will emerge from among these few.

The outstanding youths from the Three Great Empires and the Martial God Temple are formidable enough, given their birth within the super forces that rule the continent, their cultivation nurtured by exceedingly rich resources, and the personal guidance of a Heavenly God. Naturally, they are extraordinary.

But Xiafeng Country is merely a small kingdom ranking in the middle-lower tier of the 108 Countries, yet it produced a contender with divine qualifications, Xia Yang, who is surprisingly powerful. Although his origins do not compare to those from the Three Great Empires vying for the king title, this poses no problem, and his strength speaks for itself, his potential is both immense and fearsome.

However, now these super experts vying for the king title might have to include one more person, the most terrifying one—

Ye Chen!

"From what I’ve learned, every super expert contending for the king title has more than three hundred Identity Tokens in their possession. This number is just a rough estimate; there are even rumors that someone has over five hundred," Hann Fei added.

As the strongest on the Trial Road, they have acquired far more Identity Tokens than the top 100 trial participants.

Afterward, Hann Fei further commented, "Perhaps by the final day, these super experts contending for the king title will have amassed over two thousand Identity Tokens each. Based on some related information, on the last day, these super experts will be blocking the final challenge to snatch all the Identity Tokens. At that time, it would be quite an accomplishment if twenty or thirty people manage to pass the trials."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression changed. Wouldn’t this mean that other people present would be unable to pass the trial? And these so-called twenty or thirty individuals would likely all be the young and powerful from the super expert forces contending for the king title.

Setting them aside, even the top 100 trial participants would not have a chance to make it through the trials, making this possibly the trial with the fewest passers in history.

Hann Fei said with a wry smile, "I’m afraid these super experts are all intent on ensuring that each of their forces’ young powerhouses collects enough Identity Tokens to secure the generous rewards. I had thought of quickly gathering three hundred Identity Tokens and reaching the destination ahead of these super experts. But now being eliminated doesn’t really matter; I’m just forewarning you all."

But this warning seemed to hold little significance because no matter what, they were unable to defeat these super experts contending for the king title.

Among those present, only Ye Chen was qualified to break through.

Ye Chen sneered, "The three great empires, people from the Martial God Temple, are truly domineering. Such arrogance, do they really fear nothing?"

Hai Qingxue also showed a bitter face, "What do they have to fear? The top 100 trialists, they have them, the super experts contending for the king title, they possess them as well, they are the overlords of the Trial Road."

"Overlords?" Ye Chen slowly shook his head, "I don’t think so."

Everyone looked puzzled, failing to understand, but Ye Chen just slightly smiled and suddenly said, "Since they are domineering, why can’t we be even more dominant than them? Gentlemen, is anyone interested in doing something meaningful?"

"What is it?"

For some reason, when Ye Chen spoke like this, everyone’s spirit could not help but lift, feeling a surge of heated excitement.

Ye Chen smiled faintly, "King Slaughter!"

"King Slaughter?"

"That’s right, slaughtering these super experts contending for the king title, taking all the Identity Tokens from them. This plan, I call it King Slaughter!" Ye Chen’s calm voice resounded, yet it made everyone’s blood boil with fervor.
