Now, if there's no way to win against his own apprentice in the shortest amount of time, he must find a way to do so.
Perhaps the current situation is already set in stone, and Lao Huang will ultimately be defeated by his own apprentice.
However, His Highness Xu Fengnian was not flustered at all and seemed to be full of confidence.
It was precisely this state of mind that made it difficult for the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm to discern what the Crown Prince was truly thinking.
Perhaps this prince, despite his seemingly glamorous life, is actually just like the rumors suggest.
He's just a good-for-nothing, nothing more.
Although the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm had such thoughts, he would not reveal them casually.
After all, in his mind, all's fair in war, and this young master Xu Fengnian came from the Northern Cold.
The Northern Cold Army is filled with strategists and experts, as numerous as hairs on a cow.
Even if Xu Fengnian were a complete fool, he would probably be affected to some extent in that kind of environment.
How could he possibly be such a good-for-nothing?
This situation was truly beyond the expectations of the Martial Saint, but in his memory, Xu Fengnian's current attitude might have its reasons.
And what exactly is this guy's plan for coming to Wangjian Mountain this time?
Martial Saint Ye Fan was not entirely clear on this.
Although he had some understanding of the Truman system.
However, that reason was indeed somewhat vague and could not convince the Martial Saint at all.
"How calm you are, Prince Bei Han. Now you can see that the old servant you brought with you does indeed have some strength."
"But when fighting against my disciples, it seems that I don't have much of an advantage."
The Martial Saint looked up at Xu Fengnian standing beside him and spoke calmly.
Xu Fengnian didn't seem to care after hearing this. In fact, he couldn't understand why a martial saint in the mortal realm would say such a thing.
Regardless, the outcome is still uncertain. Even if Li Yiyang has some inherent talent, so what?
(Li Hao Zhao)
Could it be that he really can beat Lao Huang?
Don't be ridiculous. Even if there are many experts on Wangjian Mountain, and Li Yiyang has extraordinary skills.
But they wanted to beat Lao Huang in the shortest amount of time.
Perhaps it wasn't so simple. Xu Fengnian still couldn't quite understand what Martial Saint Ye Fan meant by saying those words to him.
"Martial Saint, it may be too early to draw a conclusion on this matter now. Let us wait and see."
"In my opinion, our old servant may not be as simple as you think."
"Your disciple may indeed possess some skill."
After saying this, Xu Fengnian did not continue.
Chapter 205: He who knows the current affairs is a hero
After seeing Xu Fengnian's behavior, Martial Saint Ye Fan was even more surprised and couldn't figure out what the kid was thinking.
Could it be that he really can't see even the slightest problem?
Although the outcome of the two matches is currently uncertain and they appear to be evenly matched, anyone can tell that they are evenly matched in this situation.
However, no matter what, his apprentice was much younger than Lao Huang. If this continued, Lao Huang might not be able to keep up with his apprentice at all.
His own apprentice was so young, so naturally he was full of energy, and Old Huang was indeed quite good.
However, when it comes to a protracted war, he is perhaps no match for Li Yiyang at all, and they cannot be compared.
"Youthful arrogance!"
At this moment, these words suddenly popped into Ye Fan's mind. Indeed, it was true that even though 537, the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm, didn't seem to discipline his disciples much, he was still quite capable.
But he also knew that those who could come to Wangjian Mountain to become his disciples were truly remarkable.
None of them were simply ordinary good people.
There wasn't a single good-for-nothing he could possibly be interested in.
Those who can be accepted as disciples all have some extraordinary foundation.
Otherwise, it would be quite difficult to break through to Wangjian Mountain.
"Could it be that His Highness truly doesn't understand the mystery behind this?"
"I can tell you with absolute certainty that there is no hierarchy in martial arts, but if we're really talking about physical strength..."
"How much of a chance do you think your old servant has?"
The Martial Saint didn't discuss the intricacies of martial arts with Xu Fengnian; instead, he simply asked a question.
Xu Fengnian, after hearing these words, did not seem to care at all.
After all, in his impression, it was perfectly reasonable for Martial Saint Ye Fan to say such a thing; it was entirely normal.
But even so, so what?
How much does this matter actually concern me?
Xu Fengnian had already stated before that he was unaware of Lao Huang's situation and did not care about it.
He only knew that this old Huang was just a follower placed by the King of Northern Cold.
Just how strong is he? Is he really capable of protecting himself from harm? 2
Xu Fengnian didn't have much evidence, but the old man had followed him on his travels for three years and had indeed protected him completely, ensuring he suffered no harm whatsoever. ⑨
But even so, what then? 4
Regardless of how others perceive the matter, in Xu Fengnian's memory, he hadn't faced much danger in the past few years.
Why should Old Huang bother protecting himself?
Even without his protection, he might not be in any danger at all.
It's important to know that when Xu Fengnian was traveling the martial world, he was just an ordinary citizen, nothing more. 5
There are absolutely no connections between them and any of the major sects, so there's no need for either of them to create unnecessary trouble for themselves. 6
Even if we really did find someone to beat Xu Fengnian up, so what?
Moreover, most people in the martial arts world possess a sense of justice, and such actions can be considered as the strong bullying the weak.
In their eyes, it was something to be ashamed of, so no one did those pointless things.
That is why Xu Fengnian had no idea just how capable Old Huang was under his command.
Xu Fengnian naturally didn't know how many capable people were in the Northern Cold King's Mansion.
But when he arrived at Wangjian Mountain, he discovered that things were not as simple as he had imagined.
Although Old Huang may seem foolish on the surface, he may not be much different from his foolish younger brother.
Upon seeing me, all I could do was grin like an idiot, revealing a set of disgustingly yellow teeth.
Xu Fengnian never expected that the opportunity would come.
I've long wanted to know just how capable this Old Huang really is, but I haven't had the chance to see it for myself.
However, there are people on Wangjian Mountain who are dissatisfied with him, but so what?
Would he really do that to himself?
I'm afraid they simply don't have that kind of courage.
No matter what, he was the high and mighty Prince of Beihan. Although they were willing to compete with him, it was nominally to exchange martial arts skills.
But why should I do those pointless things?
Even if there are many masters on Wangjian Mountain, it may not be of much concern to me.
It was precisely because of this that, at Xu Fengnian's words, Lao Huang jumped out without hesitation and started fighting with Li Yiyang.
Originally, Xu Fengnian didn't know much about Lao Huang, but after seeing this, he might understand some things.
"To be honest, I don't know much about martial arts."
"That is precisely why I will not fight him."
"If we were to fight, this guy would definitely beat me up too."
Chapter 206 Worldly Perspective
After hearing Xu Fengnian's words, Martial Saint Ye Fan found it somewhat amusing.
After all, in his mind, Xu Fengnian was the heir of Bei Han, and also the future successor and future king of Bei Han.
Is that all the courage you have?
They really don't know their place; they're just afraid of getting beaten up if they challenge someone to a fight.
Even if such a person were to take over Beihan in the future, would he be able to shoulder such a heavy responsibility?
"It seems that Your Highness values me highly. I wonder what Your Highness's opinion is of the people of Beihan?"
