The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 379 - 376: Calamity of Mother and Son (Part 3)
All around, many gazes turned their way.
Several military supervisors wanted to step forward and intervene.
But upon seeing Long Qingchen’s look, those military supervisors had no choice but to step back.
These were the Royal’s prized individuals, among whom the sons of the Empress were the most esteemed.
With the Third Prince presiding, intending to discipline the Seventh Prince, if they interfered, they would definitely be resented by the Empress; not only would they lose their positions as military supervisors, but their lives might not be spared either.
Other princes and princesses gathered around, one by one mocking Little Xinzhuo.
Little Xinzhuo, who had never been surrounded by so many, felt unavoidably uneasy, not even knowing where to place his hands and feet.
"I am a Spirit Master, not skilled in fist and foot kung fu."
Little Xinzhuo said awkwardly.
"Little Qi, don’t be humble. You’re one of the top four picked by Father Emperor for the Imperial Examination. Father Emperor has praised you endlessly; just show us a couple of your moves."
Long Rui, full of envy, stared at Little Xinzhuo.
He was older than Little Xinzhuo, yet because he was in the Imperial Palace, he could not participate in this Zixiao Palace Exam.
But Little Xinzhuo, a bastard of unclear bloodline, actually achieved fourth place.
Father Emperor had praised Little Qi in front of his mother.
This made Long Rui extremely upset.
Saying he’s powerful, isn’t it? A top-grade talent, isn’t it? Then let him learn a lesson today.
Little Xinzhuo was startled.
Long Rui bellowed, his movements swift as a flash. His finger joints popped several times, his ten fingers like the wind, stabbing towards Little Xinzhuo’s throat.
The throat, one of the human body’s vital spots.
As a Spirit Master, Little Xinzhuo’s physique was far inferior to the martially bred Long Rui.
Being a Spirit Master, the need to gather spiritual energy, Long Rui hadn’t given him any breathing space.
Fortunately, Little Xinzhuo had learned the Ghost Escape Technique and reacted faster than an ordinary person.
He quickly retreated on his feet, and due to his lightweight, narrowly dodged the throat lock move.
Just as he dodged one finger, a sharp pain struck his left cheek. Long Rui, failing with one finger, brought his five fingers together, striking towards Little Xinzhuo’s solar plexus from behind.
This palm was a Ninth Rank Martial Arts, Iron Hook Palm, ferociously learned like a raptor seizing its prey.
A fierce glint flashed in Long Rui’s eyes, harboring lethal intent.
Long Qingchen stood to one side, looking utterly relaxed.
Whether Little Xinzhuo lived or died, he didn’t care; at worst, he’d be grounded by the Emperor for a few days. Who would care since he was the son of the Empress, and Little Xinzhuo was a rebel’s grandson.
Little Xinzhuo, startled, his pale face dripping with sweat.
This situation wasn’t a sparring match; it was clearly meant to inflict serious injuries.
But just then, Long Rui yelped, his palm twisting strangely and his face turning deathly pale.
Suddenly, as if kicked away by someone, he flew out, falling face down.
All this happened so suddenly.
The surrounding princes and princesses wore faces of utter confusion.
Little Xinzhuo was dazed, then heard a calm voice by his ear.
"Seventh Prince, do not worry. I am Ghost, sent by Miss Xin to take care of you."
Hearing his Sister’s name, Little Xinzhuo quickly composed himself.
A familiar aura filled the air around him.
That was Ah Piao’s aura!
Little Xinzhuo secretly delighted, promptly channeling his spiritual energy.
On the ground, Long Rui, with a ghastly pale face, looked perplexed, wondering what had happened!
He roared angrily, jumping up and lunging towards Little Xinzhuo again.
Unknowingly, as he lunged, Little Xinzhuo disappeared with a swift movement.
The next moment, beneath Long Rui, the ground trembled.
Thud, thud, thud—sharp and incomparable Earth Spears burst from the ground, accurately piercing Long Rui’s thigh.
