Emperor’s Domination

so effortlessly.

“It’s over already?” The young ones from Sea Emperor couldn’t believe it.

It only took three moves for this to end.

Of course, there was a belief that a battle could end after one decisive move.
It’s just that the lack of competitiveness was apparent.
The princess was just far stronger.

“But how?” One spectator clearly saw how strong the prince was.
He lived up to his title and fame.

“The princess is just too strong.” An expert said.

“Really?” Others remained doubtful.
Their first impression of her was her engagement to Peace Ocean Sword King.
The fact that she was one of the Ten Sword Prodigies was usually put off till later.

They also thought that she was a regular noble – prideful and haughty.
There was a lack of her true power.
Perhaps they didn’t care to find out.

“I believe she is among the top three.” One sect master concluded after seeing the result.

“Who are the other two then?” His juniors became curious right away.

There were no rankings within the ten prodigies so this interested the crowd.

“Right, who are the top three? What’s the exact ranking?” People kept on asking without caring about the prince’s survival.

“If the princess is among the top three.
The other two spots, hmm… Fire-and-Ice Sword, Abyss Scion, or Hundred-blade Noble?”

“I would bet money on Abyss Scion and Hundred-blade Noble.” Someone from Sea Emperor responded.

These two were also from this kingdom, just as gifted with incredible backgrounds as Starshooter Prince.
The kingdom had three out of the ten prodigies – a testament to its power.

“I agree with Abyss Scion.
He cultivates one of the nine – Abyss.
Who can stop him?” One youth said.

“Then why aren’t you bringing up Chen Cangsheng of Daoist Sword Ground? He has the War God Sword Dao.” Someone else immediately disagreed.

“Right, Fire-and-ice also has one of the nine, Darkflame.” A calm cultivator interjected.

Youths argued with each other regarding the rankings, supporting different cultivators.

No matter what, the consensus seemed to be that Princess Ning Zhu was among the top three.

Meanwhile, she didn’t say a thing and stood there patiently.

The big shots took note of her calm and composed nature.
They thought that there was more to her being chosen as the future queen of Sea Emperor.

There were plenty of fish in the sea yet she alone was chosen for this position.
This helped them understand the decision.

The word for dark can be profound.
The ice part can mean that this cultivator is cold or emotionless instead of possessing the ice affinity.
