Chapter 43 - Engagement

 "It's Medel..." Whispers spread around. At this moment, looking at the middle-aged man who stood up in front, many people showed surprised expressions on their faces. "It's him. Why at this time..." Some people frowned, looking at the middle-aged man who got up in front, and couldn't help but fall into thought at this time. Some were thinking, pondering the purpose of the other party's provocation. There were also those who showed interested expressions on their faces. They watched the front with great interest, wanting to watch this rare knight battle. One of the two sides was a knight who had been famous for a long time, and the other was Coribo's student, a rising star in the city of Kutu. No matter what the result of this battle was, it must be very exciting, right? At this moment, looking at the two people looking at each other in front, many people had this thought in their minds. Carey's expression was complicated. Standing aside at this moment, he opened his mouth, wanting to stop the fight, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He knew in his heart that Medel's move this time must be under the instruction of Princess Oliman. The reason was also simple. Most likely, it was to test Kaelin's strength. Reputation didn't mean everything. As a princess with real power who controlled a certain amount of power, Princess Oliman had never only believed in reputation. Kaelin did have a great reputation, but whether it matched the reality was what Princess Oliman wanted to know. At this moment, he couldn't help but worry about Chen Heng. Anyway, Medel was a capable subordinate under Oliman and one of the three knights under Princess Oliman. He was a knight who had truly awakened the life seed. And no matter what was said about Chen Heng, he hadn't truly awakened the life seed yet and was still just a knight apprentice. The gap between the two was very obvious. Under such circumstances, how should Chen Heng respond? "All we can hope is that Medel will go easy on him." At this moment, Carey sighed secretly and let out a soft sigh. And at this moment, in the corner. At the moment when Chen Heng got up, in the corner, a young girl couldn't help but her eyes light up. She looked at Chen Heng who got up in front, with a tall and straight figure as always. At this time, she couldn't help but become a bit excited. She almost couldn't control herself and directly got up. Fortunately, she still remembered Oliman's words, restrained herself, continued to hide in the corner, and didn't make a sound. The atmosphere at the scene was a bit solemn for a while. Standing there alone, Chen Heng had a tall and straight figure and a heroic appearance. At this moment, he looked particularly eye-catching. At this moment, his heart was also extremely solemn. With his current strength, his five senses were extremely sharp. At this moment, he not only sensed the changes of the people around him but also heard some people's conversations. And the terrifying oppressive force coming from the man in front of him also told Chen Heng about the other party's strength. "A true knight..." Chen Heng looked calm on the surface, but his heart was extremely solemn. This thought flashed through his mind at this moment. A true knight... Among those present, except for a few people, perhaps no one knew the real horror of a knight better than Chen Heng. During the first simulation, when Chen Heng was traveling around as a mercenary, he had seen true knights and even fought and fought to the death with them. Those were extremely thrilling encounters. Even though Chen Heng's own strength was extraordinary, when he encountered a true knight, he couldn't compete with them at all and could only hold them off for a while at most. If it hadn't been for the many people around him at that time who held back part of the other party's energy, he might have died at the hands of that knight at that time. Moreover, at that time, the one he encountered was just an old knight who was quite old and already aging. The Medel in front of him was now in his prime, and his strength would only be more terrifying and stronger than those knights Chen Heng had encountered before. Even though Chen Heng was now much better than before and his strength had surpassed that of the first simulation, he definitely didn't want to encounter such a knight. But now, he couldn't afford to back down. Given the other party's remarks, if he didn't react at all, he didn't know how others would think of him. The reputation he had accumulated in the past would be tarnished because of this, and his impression and value in the eyes of Princess Oliman might also decline a lot. Moreover, at this moment, Chen Heng thought of more things. "If what the other party is doing is really under the instruction of Princess Oliman, then the purpose should be to examine my current strength and then judge my value..." Chen Heng had a calm expression on his face, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind: "If so, then no matter what the result is, the other party can't possibly try to kill me." "Otherwise, once something unexpected happens, in front of so many people, the reputation of Princess Oliman might also be affected..." Instantly, he also thought of this point. He didn't know about Vinall's matter and just thought that the other party was simply trying to test him, so this was the case. However, no matter what the result was, the other party couldn't possibly kill him here in front of so many people. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be a matter of reputation. Just with Coribo around, Princess Oliman and Medel wouldn't be able to explain it. Based on Chen Heng's understanding of his own teacher, if he was really killed here, he would probably take his sword and go to Princess Oliman's place without saying a word. Even considering Coribo behind Chen Heng, the other party probably wouldn't try to kill him. And since there was probably no life-threatening danger, Chen Heng had nothing to fear. Clang... Clear sounds came from in front. In the middle of the hall, the dancing singers who were originally dancing around all retreated, leaving an extremely empty space. Chen Heng had a cold expression on his face. He stretched out his right hand and pulled out a silver long sword. Under the candlelight, the silver long sword reflected bursts of light and looked very dazzling. "Ha, the sword is not bad." Medel also pulled out the long sword from his waist. Looking at Chen Heng in front of him, he sneered: "I just don't know how your swordsmanship is?" "You'll find out." Chen Heng said faintly and then stepped forward. Clang... In the air, soft sounds cut through. Under the gaze of the guests around, Chen Heng's body disappeared from where he was in an instant. Sharp sword winds cut through the surroundings. In an instant, the sound overwhelmed other sounds. Light silver sword marks cut through the air. The two figures attacked at the same time in an instant and rushed towards each other fiercely. By the time the people around reacted, the two figures had already crashed into each other directly. The clear sound of the long swords colliding rang out. In the middle of the hall, the two long swords collided with each other, hitting hard. "You..." Feeling the force on his hand, Medel's expression was a bit surprised. The next moment, the wind rose suddenly around. Chen Heng pulled back and stepped forward. With a cold expression on his face, he held the long sword in one hand and slashed down fiercely. The power in his body flowed down along with this strike. In an instant, the life energy in Chen Heng's body surged and exploded violently. Bang! The speed of this sword was even more terrifying, and the power contained in it was greater than before.
