Chapter 97: Saint Heir of the Divine Temple (1)_1
The man finished speaking and bowed to His Majesty Cangqiong, signaling that they could leave. Cangqiong rose and led everyone away from the competition field.
"Prince Ares, your Empire truly made people take another look this year! Out of the 30 groups that advanced, your Empire had as many as 9," said the crown prince of Cangqiong Country to Ares. The compliment seemed to carry a sharp undertone.
"Your Highness flatters me!" Ares replied blandly, not taking offense at his words.
In fact, Ares had not expected such results either. His own father had mentioned that it would be good if 5 or 6 groups could advance in the preliminary round, but this year, there were unexpectedly 9 groups. And he felt that they had not even given it their all!
The accompanying officials from the Mors Empire had lost their previous anger and, on the contrary, were now brimming with joy.
"Prince Ares, I have a question, and I wonder if you could clear my doubts?" Lin Yuzhe, the crown prince of Glei Empire, approached Ares and asked.
"Please, Prince Zhe."
"The contestants from your Empire seem to be quite young. Why didn’t you choose older participants?" Lin Yuzhe said.
He had long noticed that most of the contestants from the Mors Empire were under 20 years old, with many being 17 or 18. The rules stated that anyone under 25 could participate in the competition, but why didn’t Mors select older people and instead chose such young ones? Everyone knew that those who were older had trained for a few more years and would surely be stronger.
Lin Yuzhe’s question was something many people wanted to know as well, so everyone pricked up their ears.
