Chu Zhiyuan had just finished absorbing both Flying Dragon Bones, and upon inward observation, his bones had already turned pale gold.

He carefully felt the changes in his body.

As powerful as a punch that can pierce the sky.

As light as if he could float to the clouds, feeling lighter than a feather, able to float to the sky and beyond without the need for wind.

At this moment, a Great Grandmaster made a move, forcing him to operate his Inner Strength to protect himself.

His body was pushed back by an invisible force, and to resist it, his legs sank and rooted down like ancient trees.

Using all his strength, upon inward observation, his pale golden bones gradually brightened.

Others only heard a dragon-like neighing sound, deafening, with dazzling golden light that was blinding, making everything unclear.

Super Sense, however, clearly saw the situation within the hall.

Two Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses were attacking Chu Qingfeng, their movements graceful yet as quick as lightning, which were invisible to the naked eye without the Super Sense.

Truly too fast.

Every hoof clashed with Chu Qingfeng’s palms, which were enveloped in an invisible force seen by Super Sense as a layer of water membrane.

The water membrane was as thick as a palm, sinking under the horse hooves’ strikes, yet extraordinarily resilient, restoring once the hooves were lifted.

Chu Zhiyuan believed that this layer of water membrane dissipated the immense force carried by the hooves.

The horses attacked elegantly and fiercely, yet Chu Qingfeng casually deflected the blows, with golden light bursting and neighs like dragon roars, and only a few could sit steadily within the grand hall.

Most people, including the Grandmasters, were dazzled and couldn’t focus on the specific moves amidst the blinding golden light.

Those with weaker cultivation, without someone’s help, were on the verge of collapsing, pale and weak, prone to fainting at any moment.

Fortunately, the father was cared for by someone nearby, who infused Inner Strength to protect him.

The mother and younger sister were protected by Xiao Ruoling.

Xiao Ruoling placed a hand on each of their backs, infusing them with a steady stream of Inner Strength, keeping them calm and unfazed.

The cultivation technique of Xiao Ruoling was mysterious, seemingly at the Innate Realm, with a special application, particularly skilled at calming the mind.

While resisting the oppressive force, he observed, with the golden light in his bones growing ever brighter.

At this moment, Chu Qingfeng paused his actions.

The bones, no longer under external compression, suddenly radiated with bright golden light.

The two horses seemed to sense something and looked over.

Chu Qingfeng followed the horses’ gaze.

The awakening crowd, still with lingering fear, also looked over, their eyes falling on Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan curiously looked at the two Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses, feeling a surge of familiarity.

“Fourth Brother, why don’t you give it a try,” Chu Qingquan said.

He sat there like a deity, overlooking all beings.

Within Super Sense, a longsword hovered more than ten meters above his head, standing like a mountain peak.

The sword was ten meters wide, with a length comparable to the north-south span of Fengtian Hall, seemingly able to slash down the hall with one cut.

The sword was carved with strange patterns and characters, and with focused attention, it exerted overwhelming pressure, causing nausea, forcing the viewer to look away.

The strange patterns seemed alive, writhing and swirling.

Chu Zhiyuan’s hairs stood on end, feeling like an ant before this sword, to be slain with ease.

This was the power of the Emperor’s Sword!

He hurriedly shifted his Super Sense, clasped his hands, and bowed, “Yes.”

Before he could act, the two Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses moved forward, swishing their tails as they approached him.

“Fourth Brother, be careful!” Chu Zhiyao quickly cautioned.

Yet Chu Zhiyuan did not sense any hostility.

Instead, he felt an endearing affection from the two Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses, their lively eyes full of longing and hope.

Chu Zhiyuan trusted his intuition.

Under everyone’s gaze, he stepped forward towards the two horses, reaching out his hand.

He reached the two horses.

Chu Qingfeng stepped forward with ease, ready to engage the horses.

The two Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses ignored him, licking each of Chu Zhiyuan’s palms with their tongues, making his palms itch, and he withdrew them, laughing.

Everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Especially Cheng Tianfeng, who looked as if he had seen a ghost.

Chu Zhiyuan stepped forward again, reaching to stroke their foreheads.

One had tiny patterns on its forehead, while the other had a small white patch, both very small, requiring a close look to see.

Chu Zhiyuan stroked the tiny pattern and white patch.

They lightly neighed, leaning towards him, their heads against his chest, their fondness evident.

“This…” People were incredulous.

Especially Cheng Tianfeng, finding it most astonishing.

Prince Ying stroked his chin beard, smiling cheerfully.

Cheng Tianfeng, however, grew sullen, retracting his shock, and intently observing Chu Zhiyuan.

He wanted to see what was peculiar about Chu Zhiyuan, why he could relate to the Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses.

Chu Zhiyuan stroked the two Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses, feeling their affection and tenderness, faintly guessing the reason lay in his own aura.

He was practicing the Dragon Transformation Technique, having absorbed a Dragon Blood Stone, Flying Dragon Bone, and possessing a Flying Dragon Ball.

Perhaps in the perception of the two Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses, he was a Flying Dragon.

This was a closeness born of bloodline.

“Fourth Brother, try riding them,” Chu Mingxuan shouted.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed as he flipped onto the Heavenly Dragon Divine Horse with the patterned forehead, gently tapping its belly.

The Heavenly Dragon Divine Horse sensed his intention and transformed into a beam of golden light, disappearing in the blink of an eye from Fengtian Hall.

The other Heavenly Dragon Divine Horse followed suit, transforming into a beam of golden light, vanishing.

“Haha…” Chu Mingxuan laughed, pressing on the table.

Everyone joined in the laughter, joyous and elated.

Chu Qingquan smiled.

Cheng Tianfeng forced a smile, clasping his hands, “Congratulations, Your Majesty.”

“Brother Cheng’s grand gift shall be accepted by the emperor on my behalf, thank him for me,” Chu Qingquan laughed, “Unexpectedly, they share this fate with Yuan’er.

Rest assured, Yuan’er is a kind-hearted person and will not treat them poorly.”

“Indeed,” Cheng Tianfeng replied, “Shall we begin sparring now?

Which prince is to spar with me?”

He was eager to regain face.

The Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses that Da Zhen couldn’t tame, were tamed by a princely heir, which was absurd.

If a Great Grandmaster had tamed them, it would have been acceptable, but merely a princely heir, who was disdained as a feeble one!

He could not wait to dampen their spirits and wipe the smiles from their faces.

Chu Qingfeng smiled, “No rush, Princely Heir, let’s wait a little, and see if these two divine horses are truly tamed by the Fourth Prince.”

Cheng Tianfeng said, “If untamed, they wouldn’t allow themselves to be ridden.

These two Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses are extremely proud and fierce!”

The more he spoke, the worse his expression became, resentment filling his chest, eager to draw his sword and strike.

Chu Qingfeng nodded, “I see.”

He vanished from the doorway of the grand hall in a flash.

Cheng Tianfeng watched, puzzled.

Moments later, two beams of golden light flashed, and the two Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses reappeared within the grand hall, standing where they originally were, as if they had never moved.

One divine horse had Chu Zhiyuan on its back.

Chu Zhiyuan dismounted, stroking both horses’ foreheads, clasping his hands, “Your Majesty, mission accomplished.”

“Mm, well done,” Chu Qingquan nodded, smiling, “These two Heavenly Dragon Divine Horses are yours.”

“Thank you, Imperial Grandfather!” Chu Zhiyuan exclaimed joyfully.

He patted the horses’ foreheads again and waved his hand.

With a flash of golden light, they sprinted out of the hall.

Cheng Tianfeng’s face had stiffened, forcing a smile, “Congratulations, Fourth Prince.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and clasped his hands, “Thank you.”

Cheng Tianfeng looked at Chu Qingquan, “Your Majesty, shall we begin the contest now?

Which princely heir?”
