Chapter 22
Quickly the whole banquet hall was turned into a stadium.
Quickly one by one the matches started on the stage. The matches were fought by the youths made the crowd praise them but when they saw Long Qing'er sitting without any interest in the fights made them disappointed.
As one by one matches completed, then it was Zhang Shui's turn. Little Bo'er in his Grandma's arms suddenly started cheering loudly making every people laugh at the scene, even Feng'er was also giggling. Zhang Shui became embarra.s.sed but still, he showed his thumb to little Bo'er.
Opposite side of the stage was a youth at Intermediate Core Formation Stage. His name was Dong Ming. He looked arrogantly at Zhang Shui as he thought he was not worth it for him to come to the stage and show his powers. The youth came with the thought of Impressing Long Qing'er with his Talents. But with Zhang Shui in the stage, he thought he could not show his full powers fearing he might kill him.
"You should quit before getting hurt! Only with your Foundation stage cultivation, you don't belong to this compet.i.tion!" he said while still controlling his words to not offend the Zhang Clan as ordered by his father.
Zhang Shui looked at him and sneered "You would know who doesn't belong to this compet.i.tion after we fight! So, shut the fuc* up and lets fight!" as he replied.
The youth looked at Zhang Shui with his veins popping out of his head. He thought of making him quit with his words and to look good in front of Qing'er and impress her. But Zhang Shui plainly insulted him and even made Qing'er laugh at his remarks, this was too much insult for him.
As anger took over him, he quickly unsheathed his sword and swung hard at Zhang Shui. The speed of his sword handling was so fast at his cultivation base as people were impressed with him but they looked on with pity at Zhang Shui side.
Zhang Shui merely stood there without doing anything. People looked at him and thought that he already gave up in fear by watching the speed of the Sword coming at him. Dong Ming also thought the same thing and came with the force to throw off Zhang Shui out of the stage.
Zhang Shui looked at the incoming sword, he used his hands to counter-attack the Sword. Everyone looking at him and even Qing'er thought that he was a fool, using his hands against a sword not to mention even Meridian Opening Stage Experts won't do that.
But what happened next stunned everyone, Zhang Shui said: "Mountain Splitter" with a swing of his hands the Sword in Dong Ming's hand broke into pieces.
Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded even Qing'er. He's only a peak Foundation Expert but he counter-attacked an Intermediate Core Formation Stage's Sword with his bare hands and broke it. Who would believe, if this news is said outside, they would look at you like a fool. The people who looked at Zhang Shui like a fool now felt like a fool themselves. But the most shocked people were his father and his mother because according to his story he told, his Grandfather only taught him for a week. And now he performed the skill perfectly within this small amount of time.
Looking at the people shocked at him, Lisa and Feng'er was feeling proud.
Dong Ming looked at his Sky Grade Sword broke into pieces his heart also broke. He looked at Zhang Shui like looking at a monster.
Zhang Shui sent an another Qi blade from his hands striking at Dong Ming's Stomach. Dong Ming was sent like a bullet outside the stage after coughing blood he fainted.
Looking at him winning, people in the arena broke into cheers. This
But now history was made at the Zhang Clan making him the First person to perform such a miracle. Looking at those faces, Zhang Shui's Grandfather was excited and feeling very proud. Qing'er was also looking at Zhang Shui with surprise even though she knew his prophecy.
Feng'er and Lisa were also looking at him with a proud expression and little Bo'er was jumping in excitement at his father's winning. His Father and Mother were also happy at his success.
Zhang Shui slowly returned to his seat while the Emperor was thinking was of arranging a marriage between his daughter and Zhang Shui. Looking at Zhang Shui he now knew of the reason why the Soaring Dragon clan came to the Zhangs. If he left this chance now, he knew he would regret his whole life.

After that, fights took place with other contestants. But the people lost their interest in the matches after watching Zhang Shui's performance making the contestants curse Zhang Shui in their minds.
At last the last matches came, where Zhang Shui and Crown Princess left standing on the stage. He looked at the pet.i.te girl had a face full of innocence and crystal clear eyes looking at him with curiosity. He watched her fighting, where most of them Quit by themselves and some of them flew outside the stage in a single breath. But during the match, her face always did not show any resolution, arrogance or anger, her face only had the look of curiosity.
Zhang Shui was surprised at the little girl's state of mind.
The pet.i.te girl also at Zhang Shui and said "I QUIT!" surprising the whole crowd.
Zhang Shui looked at her and asked why. She replied "If I fight with you, I feel like it will affect my State of Mind thus slowing down my cultivation! That's why I don't want to fight with you!" she replied with an innocent smile.
Hearing her answer, Qing'er was the most surprised. She was impressed by her intelligence and her knowledge of State of mind in cultivation. She was a natural talent and had an inborn wisdom character. She felt that this little girl might even make it to Super Elite Military School in her clan.
After that Zhang Shui was announced as the winner of the Tournament. And the Banquet finished where only the Emperor, the Crown Princess, and the Oldman was still there.
Then the Emperor came near Zhang Guofeng and proposed a marriage for Zhang Shui and his daughter. Hearing the word marriage the whole Zhang family was shocked except for Zhang Guofeng because he knew that this might happen.
As he still kept his smiling face and said " Your Highness as you see, My Grandson is already married! And I don't want to against his wishes!"
The Oldman supreme besides him was angered a little but looking at the Emperor he controlled his emotions and said "Your Grandson can keep her as a concubine and we have no objection! But our princess had to be the First wife!" he said.
The Crown princess was standing there like she wasn't the one they were talking about.
Zhang Shui looked at the Oldman in anger and said: "Hey Oldman did I even accept the marriage first!"
The Oldman was angered at Zhang Shui who was talking to him without respect. He then shouted "Stupid Brat! Do you say that this mortal b.i.t.c.h is equal to our princess!"
The Emperor standing beside him stopped the Oldman in fear. The Oldman looked at the Emperor and said "Your Highness, you don't need to fear the Soaring Dragon Clan, as they never partic.i.p.ate in clan fights! Besides our Princess has already been recruited into the Soaring Dragon clan, so you don't need to lower yourself!"
Zhang Shui hearing the Oldman calling his wife as a b.i.t.c.h, he was very angered. As a guy, he couldn't let anyone insult his wife. Before he could react, Qing'er spoke "Hey! Oldman when did I even say that I won't partic.i.p.ate in clan fights!"
The Oldman was shocked at her Question as he stammered "Young Miss, But...I...!"
She cut his speech and said "Let me tell you! If you offended him even the Whole Soaring Dragon cannot save you! And also you will be named as a Traitor and will be hunted down by us!"
He suddenly remembered the word the Soaring Dragon clan patriarch said during the gathering. He suddenly felt his legs go soft. He looked at Zhang Shui in astonishment and fear. He now knows that he's the child of the prophecy. He looked at Zhang Shui's eyes which are changing colors and turned dark as a black hole in anger and he confirmed the truth.
He then kneeled in front of Zhang Shui and begged for mercy. He slammed his head against the floor as a punishment for his sins, hoping to soothe Zhang Shui's anger.
Feng'er then took his hands and smiled at him. The anger Zhang Shui felt was gone by seeing her smile.
She then turned to the Oldman, her smiling face suddenly turned very cold. The Oldman who was kneeling suddenly felt a mighty pressure crus.h.i.+ng on him. The Oldman shouted in pain and looked in horror at the mortal looking lady. The people there felt the sounds of bones crus.h.i.+ng. He now understood the first sentence of Qing'er.
She looked coldly at the Emperor and the Oldman and said "Next time! Don't offend me, otherwise, I will wipe out your whole family!" making the Emperor's blood run cold.
She then looked at the innocent princess crying and said to the Emperor"If my husband likes her then I won't stop him from marrying her! But the position wife only belongs to me!" the emperor s.h.i.+vered at her cold glare and regret opening this discussion.
Qing'er on the sides was consoling the crying princess. Xia Gunther then took the unconscious Oldman and her daughter and left the Zhang Clan. Today was the day he won't forget in his whole life as an Emperor. Still, he was little happy inside that no one saw what happened or the Imperial clan's prestige would go drain and he believed the Zhang family won't spread the news.
The Zhang Shui's family looked shocked at him and his wife. Even though they heard his wife was strong from his Grandfather but they never thought, she would crush a supreme with a mere look. Zhang Shui then took Feng'er and Lisa and returned to his room. But for Zhang Shui's parents, today was the day, they won't sleep due to things that happened today.
