Children of Loulan

Chapter 423 Sword

Just when Adi and Ziya were fighting fiercely, suddenly, a figure rushed out from the side like lightning and joined the fierce competition without any warning. In an instant, the duel between the two of them instantly turned into a thrilling three-way melee.

The three figures were seen fighting back and forth, fists and palms interlaced, swords flashing, and for a moment it was hard to tell who was the winner. The field was covered in dust, and shouts were heard one after another, making it very lively. Time passed by bit by bit, and after a few quarters of an hour, perhaps because of excessive physical exhaustion, or because they realized that it would be difficult to tell who was better if they continued, the three of them stopped their actions at the same time.

At this time, Ziya smiled, his eyes full of satisfaction, and said slowly: "Well, not bad, you two, it seems that you have worked hard during this period, and your martial arts have made great progress!" Hearing Ziya's praise, Adi and the young man who had just joined the battle couldn't help but reveal a proud smile.

Adi turned to look at the other young man beside him, with respect on his face, and asked respectfully: "Hello, Second Young Master. I wonder if you have gone to see the Crown Princess?"

It turned out that the young man called the Second Young Master was the second son of Keremu and Hanguli, Muzepal. According to common sense, others should address him as the extremely noble "Your Highness", but he was not interested in this title and asked everyone to call him "Second Young Master" instead.

As the son of the crown prince, Muzepal should have stayed in the palace school with his brother Hawul to receive education. But what was different was that the literary knowledge that the palace teachers focused on imparting did not arouse his great interest. On the contrary, he had been obsessed with martial arts since he was a child, and deep in his heart he yearned to gallop on the battlefield and kill enemies to serve his country.

Therefore, after just a few days of studying in the palace, his desire for martial arts became stronger and stronger. So he mustered up the courage to beg his father to leave the closed environment of the palace and go to the "Yuqingyuan" outside the palace, which was not well-known but had a different world, to continue his studies.

This academy, called Yuqingyuan, may not be as famous as some other well-known academies, but it is full of hidden talents. Here, there are not only teachers who are famous for their literary attainments and teaching, but also a retired general who was once a great general.

You know, this general was famous on the battlefield and had made many military achievements. However, in recent years, Loulan State has been in a peaceful and quiet state without any wars, so this general chose to retire and live behind the scenes. He came to Yuqing Academy to teach, and he only wanted to cultivate more outstanding generals and reserve military strength for the country's future.

At this time, Muzepal smiled and said, "Not yet. I just walked over here and saw you guys practicing martial arts. I couldn't help but join in and fight with you!"

After saying that, his bright eyes turned to Ziya beside him and continued, "Uncle Ya, please don't show mercy to our men next time. Why don't you give it a try and see if Adi and I working together can give you a chance to defeat you in one fell swoop?" His words were full of confidence and challenge.

"You are still a little naive if you want to defeat Ziya!" At this moment, a sudden and loud voice suddenly sounded, like a thunderbolt breaking through the sky, instantly interrupting the heated conversation of the three people. They looked in astonishment at the source of the sound, and saw a man walking slowly not far away, with an upright posture and a majestic demeanor, and it turned out to be the crown prince of the dynasty - Keremu.

Upon seeing this, Ziya and Adi hurriedly bowed and shouted in unison, "Your Highness the Crown Prince!" The voices were uniform, as if they had been rehearsed countless times.

At the same time, Muzepal's face was filled with ecstasy, and he shouted excitedly: "Father is back, I see my father!" His words could not hide his longing and joy for seeing his father again after a long separation.

Keremu nodded slightly, cast a gentle look at Ziya and Adi, and gently raised his hand to signal them to stand up. Then, his eyes were firmly fixed on his beloved son whom he had not seen for many days, his eyes full of love and care.

"Come, let your father have a good look!" Keremu said softly. Upon hearing this, Muzepal immediately walked to his father obediently, and then spun quickly like a top, showing his growth and changes over the past few days.

After he stopped, Keremu nodded with satisfaction, smiled and praised: "Well, not bad, not bad, after not seeing you for a few days, my son has not only grown a lot taller, but his spirit has also grown!"

However, after hearing what his father said, Muzepal frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face, and he muttered, "Father, do you think I am overestimating my own abilities?" Obviously, he was a little dissatisfied with what his father had just said.

Keremu couldn't help but laugh, and patted Muzepal's shoulder, saying earnestly: "My child, don't be so impulsive. Do you really think that you and Adi can easily defeat Ziya? You know, Ziya is a veteran, and his martial arts skills are not in vain!"

Muzepal looked at his father with a firm face and said, "Father, I know that the man who can become the first guard of the current prince must have extraordinary martial arts skills. I also know that it is not easy for me and Adi to defeat Uncle Ya."

"However, just because I am not as skilled as others now does not mean that it will remain the same in the future. I beg Uncle Ya to use all his skills to fight with the two of us. I just want to find out how big the gap is between me and him. Only in this way, when I return to the academy, I will know where to start and work harder in my training!"

Keremu stared at his son who was full of fighting spirit. He was filled with relief and couldn't help laughing. "Haha, you are worthy of being my good son. You are so ambitious! Your father will definitely support you to give it a try. As long as you can defeat Ziya one day in the future, your father will definitely give you the sword you have always dreamed of as a reward!"

Hearing this, Muzepal's eyes instantly lit up with excitement, and he became extremely excited. He couldn't wait to ask, "Are you serious? Father, please don't lie to me!"

Keremu smiled and nodded, and replied solemnly: "When has your father ever lied to you? However, to get this reward, you must defeat Ziya completely by yourself!"

Muzepal looked at his father firmly, "Father, please rest assured! I have full confidence and certainty that I will be able to get your sword that is feared by the world!" His words revealed great confidence and determination, as if the sword was already in his pocket.
