Section 109
Xia Naiwu's actions could easily lead him to his death.
As expected, a cold glint flashed in Summer Bright's eyes upon hearing this.
"Xia Naiwu, I actually think with your current strength, you are completely unworthy of being the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Empire."
"Little Feng is younger than you, and his talent is much stronger than yours. You should give up this position of Emperor Child!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Summer Skyfate, who had almost fainted, was immediately overwhelmed by anger, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.
He steadied himself by holding onto Xia Naiwu's shoulder, then pointed at Summer Bright and said angrily, "Summer Bright, don't go too far!"
"My son has been an Heavenly Emperor Body since birth; this is something recognized by everyone in the Empire!"
"Your grandson, Xia Feng, is clearly also a Mortal body, his Emperor Body completely lacks the characteristics of an Heavenly Emperor Body!"
The Ten Emperors of Xia also nodded.
Although Xia Feng had not made a move since arriving at the Imperial Capital, these thousand-year-old foxes among them had already understood his true nature the first time they saw him.
A Heaven Rank Martial Emperor can even comprehend the essence of dozens of Great Dao rules, let alone Martial Warriors whose Realms are lower than theirs.
The characteristic of an Heavenly Emperor Body is that from the moment of birth, one possesses the Emperor Body without needing to condense it.
However, Xia Feng's Emperor Body lacked that ancient and domineering Aura of long years; it was clearly condensed by himself recently.
"Yes, you are right about that."
Summer Bright nodded, then continued to sneer.
"Little Feng, like me, also reached his current Realm step by step by relying on a Mortal body. When he was in his twenties, Summer Bright was only a Profound Rank Martial Saint, right?"
"Comparing it this way, wouldn't Xia Naiwu, who possesses an Emperor Body, be even more unworthy of being the Emperor Child?"
Summer Skyfate was stunned. He hadn't expected Summer Bright could come up with such logic, leaving him momentarily speechless.
But soon, he still gritted his teeth and angrily rebuked.
"Stop spouting nonsense here!"
"From the first Xia Emperor onwards, the Empire has had a rule that the Emperor Child can only be held by a member of the Xia Family who possesses an Heavenly Emperor Body!"
"No matter how outstanding your grandson's talent is, he is still a Mortal body and absolutely cannot be the Emperor Child!"
"Or are you saying that in order to let your grandson take the position of Emperor Child, you will also use forbidden techniques to strip my son of his Emperor Body and then transfer it onto Xia Feng?!"
Facing Summer Bright's questioning, Summer Bright remained expressionless throughout.
"You... the victor is king, the loser is a bandit. I admit I did many excessive things to you before, but you have already won now, haven't you?"
"Even if you hate me, that is a matter between you and me; there's no need to involve my son!"
Facing Summer Bright's roar, Summer Bright remained expressionless throughout.
Feeling the gazes cast by the other Old Ancestors, Summer Bright slowly sat down on the edge of the Emperor Dragon Platform and beckoned to Little Feng.
"Little Feng, come here."
Xia Feng nodded and quickly walked to Summer Bright's side.
"Xia Feng, what do you think of the current Crown Prince of the Great Xia Empire?" Summer Bright asked.
"In my opinion, he's just a pile of garbage." Xia Feng shrugged and waved his hand dismissively.
Xia Feng's appearance was quite provoking; his expression when looking at Xia Naiwu was full of disdain, not putting him in his eyes at all.
The grandfather and grandson's exchange instantly enraged Xia Naiwu.
His eyes narrowed, he suddenly stood up, and a powerful Aura pressed towards Xia Feng.
"What did you say? You trash who isn't even a Martial Emperor, say that again?!"
According to his assumption, Xia Feng, being a Half-Emperor, would surely tremble under his Aura, perhaps even falling to the ground.
But unexpectedly, the Martial Emperor Aura that Xia Naiwu unleashed dissipated like a mud ox entering the sea when it reached Xia Feng; Xia Feng showed no reaction at all.
"I said you are trash. What, you're not convinced?"
Chapter 135: Sorry, I Am Also a Martial Emperor
"Tell me, after getting news of me, you tried everything to kill me."
"First, you mobilized the Three Great Dynasties, then you sent out Middle Grade Holy Lands, and Ten High-Grade Saint Realms."
"As an Emperor Child, the resources you can mobilize are incredibly terrifying, but even so, I am still here in the Imperial Capital, standing perfectly fine in front of you."
"Then tell me, am I far superior to you in all aspects, or are you simply an utter piece of trash?"
Xia Feng's words were like sharp knives piercing fiercely into Xia Naiwu's heart; for a moment, he actually couldn't find any words to refute.
His face turned purple and blue. When the other Old Ancestors heard Xia Feng's words, they couldn't help but show strange looks and glanced at Xia Naiwu a few more times.
In this world where martial arts are revered, strength is everything.
At that time, Xia Naiwu's Realm and the resources at his disposal were indeed countless times greater than Xia Feng's.
But even so, he still did not achieve his goal; instead, the other person even came to the Imperial Capital and was essentially riding on his neck.
Xia Naiwu was trembling with anger. Whether it was admitting that Xia Feng's ability far surpassed his or admitting that he was trash, neither was acceptable to him.
"Bastard! You are just a kid who only knows how to talk big, barely surviving by relying on some schemes and tricks."
"Didn't your Grandpa want you to be the Emperor Child? Fine! I'll give you this chance!"
Xia Naiwu's eyes blazed, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Since you claim to have extraordinary talent, then defeat me here in front of the previous Xia Emperors!"
"As long as you can defeat me, I will give you this position of Emperor Child, but if you lose, I want you to destroy your Emperor Body, abolish your Dantian, and never again step onto the path of cultivation!"
"Do you dare?!"
Xia Naiwu's gamble was too big, causing an uproar among the officials below.
The loser would not only have their Dantian abolished but also be forbidden from ever stepping onto the path of martial arts again.
He was a Martial Emperor, but Xia Feng was just a Half-Emperor. How could he make such a demand?
But Xia Naiwu did make the demand, and he did it in front of everyone.
Xia Feng looked at the furious Xia Naiwu and couldn't help but smile.
"Alright, I agree."
Xia Naiwu was stunned. He hadn't expected Xia Feng would actually agree.
"What... did you say?" He frowned and asked again, wondering if he had misheard.
"I said I agree," Xia Feng said calmly. "Since you want to gamble, then let's do it."
"You said this yourself, the loser must not only give up the position of Emperor Child but also cripple their own Realm."
"Hahahahaha, good!"
Xia Naiwu was instantly overjoyed. He suspected there was something wrong with Xia Feng's mind. A Half-Emperor actually dared to accept a Martial Emperor's challenge?
What was this if not seeking death!
The previous Xia Emperors also raised their eyebrows. The seventh Old Ancestor, Summer AzureSun, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. He scanned Xia Feng from head to toe, then revealed a look of sudden understanding.
Summer Skyfate seemed to have thought of something; he grabbed Xia Naiwu's wrist with a tense expression and said, "Son, Xia Feng isn't a fool, he might be up to something!"
"It's alright, Father. No matter how cunning he is, he's just a Half-Emperor. Even if he breaks through to Martial Emperor, he'll only be at the first layer at most!"
"Summer Bright crippled you, I will also cripple his grandson. I can't swallow this anger!"
"You can rest assured!"
Seeing Xia Naiwu patting his chest full of confidence, Summer Bright hesitated to speak.
But the words that were about to come out were forcefully swallowed back.
Perhaps he was overthinking. Even if Xia Feng, with his heaven-defying talent, broke through to Martial Emperor, he would only be at Huang Realm first layer, while Xia Naiwu was a strong expert at the second layer, or even just a step away from entering the third layer.
Moreover, Xia Feng didn't have the Void Cauldron; he couldn't rely on a Divine Artifact to crush his opponent.
By any measure, Xia Naiwu had a higher chance of winning.
Therefore, after Xia Feng accepted the bet, Xia Naiwu invited the Ten Great Xia Emperors to be witnesses, and then leaped into the Emperor Dragon Platform.
Xia Feng took out the Qingxue Sword from his storage ring. The moment he entered the Emperor Dragon Platform, the Huang Realm Two-layered Martial Emperor Aura on his body instantly erupted!
"Indeed, it was a trick!"
Summer Skyfate's pupils contracted sharply. He knew it!
Summer Skyfate and his grandson were both incredibly cunning; they wouldn't possibly engage in a bet they were sure to lose.
However, soon, the anxiety in his heart significantly lessened.
Although Xia Feng had hidden his strength, thankfully, he was only a second-layer Martial Emperor.
Xia Naiwu possessed the Heavenly Emperor Body, and his combat experience was countless times stronger than Xia Feng's. In this match, his chances of winning were still greater.
"Huang Realm Two-layered Martial Emperor? Is this what you are relying on?"
Xia Naiwu raised his leg and fiercely kicked the body of Xia Feng's Qingxue Sword, then pressed it heavily onto the ground.
He looked at Xia Feng and said with a ferocious expression.
