Everyone present watched Blackie rise and walk over to Lan Yao, who held dual axes, with faces full of skepticism.
Even the Crown Prince looked somewhat puzzled.
After all, none of those present had ever seen Blackie make a move.
They only knew that with Blackie's intermediate-stage Divine Emperor Realm strength, it was uncertain how he would face Lan Yao, who was at the half-step Ancestral Realm.
The difference in the realms was not a trivial matter.
Even the Fifth Prince couldn't help but chuckle, "Although it's just a sparring match, injuries can still occur. It's better if the fellow from the Mixed Spirit Academy doesn't overexert himself."
His words were very tactful.
In fact, this meant that he believed Blackie did not have the strength to compete.
The other court officials and prodigies looked on with faces devoid of interest, having heard of Fengye's great renown as a personal disciple of Mixed Spirit Academy.
