Ye Jiao could sense that her body was getting warmer as she busied herself to absorb the Eon Energy. She had guessed that it must be much more in this area. After all, she first began to sense the difference when she was still young. The fire itself was too hot for her, but she liked to practice near them.

This time, Ye Jiao didn't spend as much time as when she was in front of the pillar. A loud bell sound stopped her practice.

Teng! Teng! Teng!

"What's that sound?" a young man asked with confusion.

"It's the mark that the second examination will begin in three hours," another one replied as he stood up. "Time to eat and rest a bit before going there."

"Ah, wait for me!"

Ye Jiao opened her eyes and stood up. She looked around and noticed that many other people were also doing the same. They needed to make sure that they were prepared for what was to come, so they better departed right away.

"Miss Ye Jiao?"

"Yes, Prince Cao Ren?" noticing the one who greeted her was the prince, Ye Jiao greeted him politely.

Cao Ren smiled. "I didn't expect that you'll know my name. it's an honor to meet you."

Ye Jiao pursed her lips. How could she possibly tell him that she had already known him from a long time ago? The only difference would be, at that time, she was disguised as nothing more than a small servant that didn't worth mentioning while this young man was standing at the forefront as the powerful prince.

"Is there anything that you wish to talk about, Prince Cao Ren?"

"Yes." Cao Ren's expression showed doubts. "Yesterday you…"

"KYAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"SOMEONE IS DEAD!

"HELP!"

Hearing the sudden scream, Ye Jiao's mind spun hard. She believed that this was already the second time she heard the case of someone who died in the middle of the competition... Oh, right, the previous time it was Cao Ren's sister that died in the hunt.

However, there was no corpse at that time, so no one knew for sure what had happened.

Cao Ren's expression changed greatly. It was a great taboo to kill someone in this place. Moreover, how come the array didn't work?

"Prince Cao Ren, shall we take a look first?" Ye Jiao asked with doubt.

"Let's go."

Even though Cao Ren wanted to ask more about Qin Zheng, he knew that this was not the right time. It would be better for him to wait until there was another chance in the future to ask Ye Jiao. Right now, they wanted to know who could possibly kill someone, yet they were still alive in the array?

Following the scream and noise, they arrived in the suburb area of the city. It was a dirty area of the city with numerous people gathered. Many of them have their clothes crumpled while the women have thick makeup.

It took less than one second for Ye Jiao to realize what kind of place this was.

Cao Ren shook his head. This was the illegal area of this city, so there was a possibility that the array didn't really reach this point. Still, he didn't understand why the death of someone in this area would cause such a large commotion.

Unless… the one who died came from a powerful family.

"Excuse me, do you know who it is?"

"It's the second young master from Yan Family. He disappeared last night, and only today they managed to find him in this condition," the man shook his head.

The Yan Family.

Ye Jiao blinked her eyes and turned her head to Cao Ren. She truly didn't know anything about this family. They must have come from a completely different area and didn't have any relation whatsoever with the Four Kingdoms. Seeing that Cao Ren also shook his head in confusion, she came to the conclusion that it didn't have anything to do with them.

���Ye Jiao! Cao Ren!" Lu Wan came while running. Behind him, Qi Huan was also rushing over with a calm face.

"Lu Wan."

"What is it?"

"The Yan Family Second young master died." Ye Jiao pointed to the crowd before her. "But it's not going to be easy to get inside with the large crowd like this."

"Is the Yan Family second young master a 12 years old boy?" Mu Xin asked as she jogged to their side. She had just arrived with a strange expression on her face.

"Eh, I don't know."

"Yes, he's a 12 years old boy," a man in front of them remarked in surprise. "Do you know him, Miss?"

"No, I don't," Mu Xin shook her head. "I just saw a young boy around the age of 12 going with Wei Mi last night."

She also saw Wei Xie, but since it was dark, she wasn't sure. Last night, she was going around to collect information when she stumbled upon them. If not for the fact that she recognized Wei Mi, she would never pay any attention to them.

"Wei Mi?" Ye Jiao was dumbfounded. What was that girl doing walking with another young man in the middle of the night? She couldn't understand what that young girl wanted to do with them.

Eh, wait, 12 years old boy?

Suddenly, she recalled her conversation with Wei Liao.

'She told me that if I take other people's core and combine it with others, I'll be able to have higher talent.'

Somehow, she got a truly bad feeling about this.

"WHO THE HELL DARED TO KILL MY SON?"

The sound reverberated in the area, along with the powerful force of Eon Energy Master Rank 4. It was so powerful that they were all feeling as if their lives were hanging on a thin line. Those who were already Eon Energy Master Rank 2 or above quickly formed a shield around their body to protect themselves.

"That's so powerful," Lu Wan muttered.

"Yan Family also has Eon Energy Master Rank 4," Qi Huan said as a matter of fact. "I'm afraid it's not going to be easy to walk off from them."

"Well, we can just eat while watching. I'm hungry."

"I'll buy some food."

"Buy more for us too."

"Got it."

Cao Ren was looking at them with a weird expression. He had the faint feeling that these four must have known each other beforehand. Even if they were not too close, at least, today shouldn't be the first time they met.

'I can understand that Lu Wan might know them because they all came from the Chen Kingdom, but Qi Huan is a prince in the Chi Kingdom, right? He shouldn't have known the other two.'

While the group of youngsters decided to just eat and watch from far away, the situation at the front was not that good. Wei Shang hurried over when they told him that his daughter was found near the corpse of a young man from an influential family. Seeing the angry Eon Energy Master Rank 4, Wei Shang felt that his heart dropped to the bottom abyss.

Just who did he offend this time?

He walked to the front and saw two corpses, one male and one female. The two of them were only twelve years old, very young. There was a large hole on the boy's stomach while a sword was pierced straight in the young girl's chest. At the same time, a middle-aged man was standing with an imposing aura there.

He felt angry.

"Who are you?"

"I-I'm her father," Wei Shang wanted to say just a passerby, but he doubted that he would be able to fool this man. It would be better for him to just say the truth.

"Her father?" The man's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Can you explain to me what had happened last night? How come the two of them ended in this state?"

"I don't know either."

"I want you to take responsibility for killing my son."

"Responsibility?" Wei Shang's aura turned sharp. As a general, he naturally had the disposition of a leader. "Do you really think that I'm the one at fault over here? What if your son was the one who tried to hurt my daughter?"

"In that case, where's my son's core?"

That question caused Wei Shang to look at the two corpses more carefully. He had just realized that the hole in the young man's body was exactly in the position where his core was supposed to be. It meant that whatever happened last night, the young man lost his core.

"Are you saying that my daughter, an ordinary girl without any Eon Energy whatsoever, was capable of hurting a healthy young man like your son and took his core?" Wei Shang spat out each word slowly.

The man's expression sunk. He knew that the girl didn't have any power whatsoever because she was a crippled, but his son has just formed his own core. His power still didn't differ that much from ordinary people, so he knew that it was plausible. However, there was another problem.

Between men and women, who would be stronger?

The natural answer would the men because of his larger physical ability.

Still, the man couldn't accept this result. He looked at Wei Shang dangerously. "Do you really think that it's impossible for her to wound him when you must have taught her a few martial arts? If my son is drunk, even a child is capable of hurting him."

"It means you wish for me to pay for your loss no matter what?" Wei Shang narrowed his eyes dangerously. Waves of Eon Energy started to form on his palm, exuding boundless energy that came from Eon Energy Master Rank 4.

"Yes."

The moment the word was said, two different elements of Eon Energy clashed heavily!
