Chapter 73 - The Trial Tournament

"Not many people..." Chen Heng accurately grasped Coribo's meaning and fell into thought. "In other words, besides Teacher Coribo, there are others who can easily defeat me, right?" "The Royal Family of Kutu has been able to exist until now for a reason," Coribo said faintly. "In fact, the power of the Royal Family of Kutu is more than what you have seen at present." "However, under normal circumstances, like me, they won't interfere in the internal affairs of the Royal Family of Kutu." "The internal affairs of the Royal Family of Kutu..." Chen Heng muttered to himself and then looked at Coribo and said seriously, "Teacher, I don't quite understand." "You want to ask why I'm called the Royal Guard Knight but don't take action at the same time, right?" Coribo shook his head and said, "We people, in the beginning, in order to obtain something, once signed an agreement with the King of Kutu that we would help the King of Kutu when necessary." "But the target of this agreement is only limited to the King of Kutu himself, not the Kingdom of Kutu." "I see." Chen Heng nodded, indicating that he understood. Although he didn't know what kind of agreement Coribo had reached with the King of Kutu, according to Coribo's statement, it was obvious that the one he served was only the King of Kutu himself. As for Oriman and Griss, they were completely outside his scope of service. In this way, it was clear. "It's okay if you generally understand it," Coribo shook his head and then continued, "Of course, you are my disciple. If conditions permit and at the right time, I will also help you." After his words fell, Chen Heng's face remained unchanged, but he was secretly happy in his heart. Coribo's words were undoubtedly a statement of attitude. With Coribo's attitude, Chen Heng's subsequent plans would also go much more smoothly. After all, no matter what was said, Coribo was the strongest person in the Kingdom of Kutu, a top Grand Knight. After chatting on the spot for a while, after a while, accompanied by Kuludo, Chen Heng returned to his residence. When he returned to his residence, the first thing he did was to eat like crazy. Previously, when using the blood of the black wolf, what he consumed was not only his own energy but also a large amount of energy in his body. In fact, he had been in a state of intense hunger before, but he had just endured it with great effort. At this moment, when he returned home, he immediately started eating, eating crazily meal after meal. That terrifying amount of food even made Vinall, who came later, feel a bit horrified. "What have you been doing?" Looking at Chen Heng, she couldn't help asking. "I did some things and was a bit tired," Chen Heng smiled and gently touched her head and said softly. The next day, he entered the palace and met Oriman. "You've already awakened the Seed of Life?" Looking at Chen Heng and hearing the news brought by Chen Heng, Oriman couldn't help showing a surprised look on her face. When Chen Heng came this time, he not only informed her that he had awakened the Seed of Life but also told her about Coribo's return. Hearing these news, Oriman was first a bit surprised and then overjoyed. Anyway, after marrying Vinall, Chen Heng's relationship with her had become very close, and he was considered one of her vassals. Chen Heng's awakening of the Seed of Life and becoming a real knight naturally meant that the power under her command had increased. "Compared with Medel before, how are you now?" Looking at Chen Heng, she continued to ask. Chen Heng thought for a moment and finally answered truthfully, "I'm stronger." "Are you sure?" Oriman opened her eyes wide and stared at Chen Heng. Facing Oriman's gaze, Chen Heng didn't hesitate and directly nodded. "Okay." Oriman nodded. "Get ready. Two months later, come with me to fight another knight. Do you dare?" Chen Heng didn't reply but just nodded silently. While nodding, he was also thinking in his heart. Two months later. If he remembered correctly, recently, Oriman seemed to want to hold a trial tournament in Kutu to show her strength. And Chen Heng's subsequent opponent must be from here. In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Chen Heng's mind. In the following two months, Chen Heng stopped many activities and just trained in his residence, exercising himself while accompanying Vinall. During this period, the trial tournament held by Oriman also gradually began its rehearsal. The so-called trial tournament was actually a convention in Kutu and was held once every five years. In the past, it was usually held by the king himself. This time, because the King of Kutu was paralyzed and lost the ability to take care of himself, Oriman was asked to hold it for the first time. For Oriman, this trial tournament was a rather important opportunity. As long as it was used well, it could greatly enhance her prestige and show her martial prowess. Obviously, her opponents wouldn't let her have her way and get what she wanted smoothly. Oriman's previous concerns and instructions to Chen Heng must have come from this. After all, after Medel was injured, the power under her command had become very tight. She seemingly had three knights under her command, but one of them had to stay in his own territory. Medel was in that state, and only the last knight was left, and he also had to deal with quite a number of tasks. The manpower was quite tight, and it was difficult to take care of this trial tournament. In this situation, Chen Heng's appearance greatly alleviated the shortage of manpower under her command. Under the attention of everyone, this trial tournament began like this. "Hello, I'm Vidor from Oris, a member of the Oligudo family." On the spacious training ground, a young man was standing on a horse, holding a lance in his hand, and looking rather arrogant. "Tell me your name, knight." "The Nado family, Kelin from Dafen," Chen Heng said calmly, looking at the other person. "Are you the Kelin who married the princess?" Vidor looked a bit surprised. After looking at Chen Heng's appearance, he nodded. "You do look good indeed." "However, I don't know how much strength you have." He sneered and spurred his horse forward. It had to be said that this young knight from Oris had good strength, and his horsemanship was also decent and quite smooth. But for Chen Heng, the result was about the same. He sat alone on the horseback, looking at the lance stabbing towards him from a distance. He didn't even move his body and just casually waved his hand and knocked the lance flying. This was an extremely shocking scene. The lance, after accelerating and charging, had great power, and its length was out of proportion to the arm. With such a thrust, even without a spearhead, it was definitely enough to stab a person to death. However, Chen Heng just waved his hand, seemingly a casual wave, and knocked this huge lance flying and sent it flying out hard. Boom. On the horseback, the figure of the young man flew backwards and smashed heavily onto the ground. The victory or defeat was decided at this moment. Around, the surrounding audience burst out even louder cheers, shouting Chen Heng's name. Next, there were more battles. According to the rules, Chen Heng fought against one opponent after another. Sometimes, his opponents were elite knights, and sometimes, his opponents were dozens of alien warriors from the desert or even more. However, facing these, he took action one by one and won all the battles easily.
