Chapter 36 - Coming Of age Ceremony (VI) (1/2)

Upon witnessing this sight, many people in the crowd were slightly alarmed. They never expected that the 4th prince would be able to defeat his opponent without even lifting a finger.

Not only that, he had even angered his opponent to the point where he had to vomit a mouthful of blood and passed out.

They have long heard about his tales and the way he fights in the past magic battle assessments, but they have never seen him with their own eyes, seeing is believing indeed!

The 4th prince....since when did he become that powerful?

Almost every single guest within the room were either a powerful mage or warrior from their domain, so even if Nicholson looked like he had lost because he was angered by the 4th prince or because the 4th prince was hiding behind his mana shield until Nicholson ran out of energy, they knew that there was no way he would be able to defeat the 4th prince in a frontal attack even if he did not use the mana shield.

They could clearly discern that the 4th prince was just hiding his strength, otherwise, he would have been able to crush his opponent an instant. while some low-level warriors or mages might not notice, those high ranking noble could clearly infer just how powerful the 4th prince was just by looking at his mana shield.

In order to create such large and durable mana shield which could fend off the attack of a 4th rank warrior for more than ten minutes without the shield having any scratch or the caster showing sign of exhaustion, one has to be a mid 5th class mage, otherwise, it would be utterly impossible.

Not only that, one has to have a strong spiritual force combined with a heaven-defying level of control over his mana in order to distribute every particle of the magic energy evenly throughout the whole mana shield.

Either of those things required long years of training and experiences, yet both of those things had already been acquired and mastered by the 4th prince. To make matter worst, the 4th prince had just turned fifteen and has the strength comparable to a 5th class mage. Just thinking about it, made cold sweat ran down their spine. It was as though they were looking at a little monster, not a human.

They have already forgotten about all those nasty words the 4th prince was saying which degraded the reputation of his nobility or his vulgar attitude. Right now, they were only thinking about one thing, this little monster will be far more powerful than his great-grandfather. His chances of breaking through the legendary Archmage rank was even as high as that monster from the Draco Empire. They have better find a way to get on the good side of the imperial family just in case.

Standing in a corner, the 3rd prince's expression darkened. He kept his lips tightly sealed and did not utter a single word even after listening to Shad's taunting words. Behind him was another four young men, seeing the condition of their comrade, they could not help but felt a raging fear arose deep within their hearts. Nickolson was as strong as any of them, yet that 4th prince had rendered him onto that sate without moving a finger, then what does that say about them.

There were also some students from the Kalin magic academy within the crowd, they had already witnessed the wickedness of the 4th prince already, so this kind of scene was not new to them, but they were still looking at him with very unsightly expressions.

” Brilliant.”

As he sat on his emperor's throne, the emperor that was already enraged by Shad's sharp tongue and vulgar attitudes was silent, before slowly uttered out a compliment. Everyone who knew him personally understood that the strength demonstrated by the 4th prince caused him to be extremely satisfied, not his sharp tongue.

~Clap~Clap~~Clap~Clap~

Out of nowhere, the 3rd prince of the Nicholas Empire started to clap his hand as he walked towards Shad.

” I have long heard about how mighty the 4th prince of the djage Empire was, seeing him today in action with my own eyes really broadened my horizon. He is really a dragon among men. After winning two fights in a row, the 4th prince has successfully passed his adult rite of passage. Let's make a toast to the glorious future of the 4th prince.”

Who was the 3rd prince? he was a sly old fox who has done a lot of vicious deeds before he was able to acquire this type of power and authority in the Nicholas Empire. He had schemed against all of his siblings and even killed one of them to ensure his rise to power. He had endured many insults throughout his rise to fame. He clearly knew when to advance and retreat.

Seeing that the 4th prince has seen through his plan, he did not dare to continue and gave up. Not to mention that he could not see through the true strength of that bastard, so he quickly turned things around shamelessly by praising the 4th prince and closed that chapter. He had already lost the first clash, he might as wait until they meet each other again in the Mulan Kingdom, by then he will have plenty of time to deal with him.
