Chapter 384 The Predestined Winner

In the lounge, after Bai Bo left, the Second Princess heaved a long sigh of relief, leaned on Shen Cheng, and patted her full chest with her hands: "I was so nervous, I almost got seen through by this old fox."

Shen Cheng remained silent. Using this brief meeting, he estimated in his mind the strength of Bai Bo and Bai Jun.

The evaluation results are almost the same.

This relieved the pressure in Shen Cheng's heart. Although Bai Jun and the others might not work hard, there were too many people.

If Bai Bo fails here, I don’t believe Zhou Cheng will be able to sit still.

The second princess and Ruan Qingsha's assassination plan was to kill the fake queen and the eldest prince.

But for Shen Cheng, targeting only these two targets was still too small, so the person he really intended to assassinate was Bai Bo, and the fake queen and the eldest prince were just incidental.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

The Second Princess stretched out her hand and waved in front of Shen Cheng: "Are you frightened by Bai Bo?"

Shen Cheng came back to his senses, and then smiled expectantly: "Just don't let him be scared by me later."

The second princess looked at the smile on his face and smiled sweetly: "I like your confident look."

Shen Cheng's heart trembled again. This vixen was really looking for opportunities to attack him every moment.

The event officially began soon, but the eldest prince and the second princess did not go on stage immediately.

Tens of thousands of people spent several hours rushing here from the imperial capital, not just to watch the two men fight. The authorities had already decided to turn this battle for succession into a grand event, which of course included all kinds of exciting programs, and a large number of popular stars were also invited to perform on stage.

The eldest prince and the second princess were each responsible for a part of these performances.

This not only tests their aesthetics and creativity, but also their organizational and coordination abilities.

If you can't even organize a few large-scale performances, it will be impossible to govern the entire country.

However, these small problems are not a problem for the two of them at all. Both the eldest prince and the second princess have many talented people under them, and they are all teams that have been tempered through years of experience. These small problems are not a problem for them at all.

As the performance officially began, programs prepared by both sides took to the stage one after another. Each program was extremely creative and of high quality, making the thousands of spectators in the stands scream with excitement.

Although ordinary people cannot come to participate in the event in person, they can watch it through television and live broadcast on the Internet. As it concerns the future heirs of the empire, hundreds of millions of citizens across the empire are paying close attention to this event.

Many places have started online voting, mobilizing netizens to support their favorite heirs, and underground casinos have even set up a large number of gambling games for this purpose.

The wonderful performance lasted for more than two hours before it ended, and then the highlight came.

The eldest prince and the second princess will take the stage to give a 20-minute speech, explaining their ideas and policies on governing the country to hundreds of millions of citizens.

This set is very similar to the presidential election in the Human Federation, and is actually copied from there.

Because Longyu has not selected a successor since its founding, there is no precedent to follow, so it can only copy and paste the mature experience of neighboring countries.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the eldest prince walked up to the podium very calmly.

He first saluted the Red Dragon Queen and the two princes who were sitting on the highest seats, then turned around and faced the crowd.

Under the gaze of countless people, he began to expound his own philosophy of governing the country.

He didn't need a speech script, he spoke at a moderate pace, his words were clear and fluent, and even his attitude seemed very sincere.

It has to be said that the eldest prince was extremely outstanding in both his appearance and speaking style, and there was nothing wrong with him. He received extremely warm applause from the audience as soon as he finished speaking, and the number of votes for him on the Internet skyrocketed.

"It's my turn."

In the lounge, the second princess took a deep breath.

Even though she knew that today's battle for succession was doomed to end in vain, she didn't want to lose to the eldest prince under the spotlight of the public.

Looking at Shen Cheng standing beside her, the second princess suddenly opened her arms and said, "Give me a hug to encourage me, okay?"

Shen Cheng wanted to refuse, but seeing her serious look, he finally opened his arms and hugged her.

"Come on, don't lose!"

"Of course I will win, because I have drawn enough strength from you, my brother-in-law."

The second princess smiled and winked at Shen Cheng, then turned and walked out of the lounge.

Shen Cheng did not follow him out. Soon he could hear warm applause coming from outside. The second princess had no fewer supporters than the eldest prince.

The second princess' speech was equally brilliant, no worse than the eldest prince's in every aspect, and received cheers and shouts from the audience.

Even because of her female identity, her number of online votes even surpassed that of the crown prince.

It's not because of any gender conflict, but because the people of Dragon Territory fanatically worship the Red Dragon Queen. They love the Second Princess and her family, so they naturally prefer the Second Princess who is also a woman.

Snapped!
In the lounge, the eldest prince lost control of his strength and crushed his cell phone.

He had already bought some online trolls to vote for him, but he was still overtaken by the second princess, and the odds on him in the casino were also falling.

Everything proves that the second princess is much more popular than him, at least among the people and on the Internet.

Simply because the Second Princess is a woman just like the Red Dragon Queen.

At this moment, the eldest prince wished he could cut himself into pieces to prove that even as a woman, he would be stronger than his sister.

Looking at the Second Princess smiling brightly on the screen, the First Prince took a deep breath and suppressed his impatience.

He had already been the predetermined winner of today's competition, and there was no point in the Second Princess struggling.

The second princess only needs to be a good loser, but as a winner, he has too many things to consider.

"younger sister."

The eldest prince stared at the second princess's face and smiled: "I can't wait to see your desperate expression."

On the highest stand, the Red Dragon Queen sat with the two princes. The attendants around them stood far away, not daring to get too close for fear of hearing anything they shouldn't.

"Zhou Cheng."

Bai Bo crossed his legs and said leisurely, "If you were His Majesty, who would you choose as the heir between the two siblings?"

Zhou Cheng sat upright beside him. This was certainly not the real person, but it was not fake either. He was his clone.

Hearing Bai Bo's question, Zhou Cheng said indifferently: "I don't choose anyone."

Bai Bo laughed: "That's right, you like to eat alone, of course you won't give up power. If you can't beat His Majesty, this huge empire would have been taken away by you long ago."

"Power? Empire?"

Zhou Cheng didn't care about the sarcasm in Bai Bo's tone: "Do these things have any meaning to us?"

When one reaches the legendary realm, one will no longer be tempted by worldly things.

With my feet on the road of destiny, my eyes can only see that extremely distant and seemingly endless road. I just want to go further on this road.

"You can't say that." Bai Bo disagreed: "Many things are indeed meaningless, but they can make us feel comfortable, just like eating, drinking and having fun. Maintaining a good attitude will help us live longer. If you always maintain this kind of bitter and resentful character, then even if you live forever, it will be meaningless."

Zhou Cheng remained silent, as if he was disdainful of refutation of Bai Bo's twisted logic.

The two of them were saying treasonous words below, but the Red Dragon Queen sitting above did not react at all.

But she didn't not care. Instead, she listened carefully to every word that came out of the two legends' mouths.

The experience of pretending to be the Red Dragon Queen during this period made her gradually addicted to it and unable to extricate herself. Sometimes she even thought in a trance that she was really the queen who ruled the entire huge empire.

She didn't want this beautiful dream to end too soon, but there was nothing she could do. She could only try her best to play the role of a puppet and wait for her opportunity silently.

After the speech session, the eldest prince and the second princess came to the bottom of the stands at the same time.

Both of them had taken off their fancy clothes and put on clothes suitable for fighting.

Because what comes next is the highlight of this event and also the most important part.

After all, this world is a world where individual power is far stronger than collective power. At the same time, Dragon Territory is a country that advocates martial virtues. Therefore, no matter how well the eldest prince and the second princess have performed before, they need to show the most important thing about themselves, that is, powerful military force.

Only strong military force can maintain the prosperity and stability of the empire and protect the empire from invasion by neighboring countries.

The eldest prince and the second princess will fight under the attention of the public, and the winner will become the heir.

Unless there is a tie, additional selection will be made based on their previous performance.

The Red Dragon Queen appeared at the highest point of the stands, and thousands of spectators burst into cheers that were far more enthusiastic than before.

The Queen raised her hand slightly, and the earth-shaking cheers stopped abruptly, and the entire venue became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Shen Cheng, who was hiding in the dark, saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the prestige of the Red Dragon Queen in the Dragon Domain. She could really kill anyone in seconds.

No wonder Zhou Cheng and Bai Bo did not dare to rebel openly, otherwise they would probably face an entire empire that would resist them.

The Red Dragon Queen didn't say too much nonsense, because that wasn't her personality, and she just waved her hand down.

"My children, there is no need to show mercy. Show your true abilities and seize the victory that belongs to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire venue erupted in thunderous applause.

“Victory!” “Victory!” “Victory!”

Countless voices gathered together to form one wave of roaring cheers after another.

The eldest prince and the second princess looked at each other and could see the strong desire to fight burning in each other's eyes.

The second princess was the first to spread her wings and flapped them hard, and the strong wind blew away the countless dust under her feet.

The whole person took off into the air and flew towards the vast training ground outside.

The eldest prince also spread his wings and followed closely behind.

The two of them flashed across the sky one after the other like two streaks of light.

Countless drones that had been on standby quickly took position, shooting from the air and the ground, trying not to miss any wonderful shots.

After flying dozens of kilometers away, the eldest prince following behind suddenly accelerated and pounced on the second princess at an extremely fast speed.

Sensing the danger, the second princess turned around quickly and saw the eldest prince's fist swinging towards her.

Bang!
The second princess also swung her fist to fight back, and their fists collided, creating a circle of ripples visible to the naked eye.

The surrounding drones were very far away, but they were still shaken by the shock waves from the two men's fists.

There was a commotion in the stands. No one expected the battle to start so quickly. The eldest prince launched the attack without even waiting to reach the designated location.

At the highest point of the stands, Bai Bo showed an expression as if the show had finally begun.

However, the show he wanted to see was not the battle between the eldest prince and the second princess, but the subsequent developments.

Because Zhou Cheng had already told him that the people hiding in the dark would definitely choose to attack today because this was the only chance.

So Bai Bo was very curious, who would the enemy be and how would they create trouble?
In the training ground, the second princess looked up at the eldest prince and sneered, "Can't wait, huh?"

"That's right, sister."

The eldest prince grinned, and his smile was actually a little sinister: "Do you know how many years I have waited for this day?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the eldest prince flapped his wings behind him and leaped upward at an extremely fast speed.

He clenched his hands and smashed the second princess' head hard.

The second princess raised her hand to block in time.

boom!
The blow knocked her to the ground, and she hit the solid ground like a meteorite, instantly creating a huge hole. The ground for several kilometers around her felt a strong vibration.

The second princess did not lie down. She pushed her feet hard at the bottom of the pit and jumped out.

The next second, the eldest prince fell from the sky and fell into the pit. If the second princess had not run fast, she would have been killed by him.

The eldest prince jumped up from the bottom of the pit and chased after the second princess.

The two sides moved quickly on the ground. The eldest prince showed his sharp claws and launched fierce attacks on the second princess.

The second princess dodged left and right, and when she saw an opportunity, she kicked the eldest prince in the waist.

Snapped!
The eldest prince, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed the second princess's legs, spun her around on the spot, and finally slammed her hard against the ground.

boom!
The earth shook violently again, like a heavy bomb falling to the ground, directly stirring up countless mud and sand.

The eldest prince was about to continue his attack when a slender tail suddenly swept over and wrapped around his neck.

Before the eldest prince could break free, he felt himself being thrown into the air and then smashed heavily to the ground.

The second princess jumped into the air, spinning like a gymnast, then used a heavy weight to hit the eldest prince's chest with her knee.

After a successful attack, the second princess kicked her legs to quickly distance herself from the eldest prince, and the eldest prince's tail just swept past her, leaving her empty-handed.

He quickly climbed up from the bottom of the pit, and although he had been hit hard in the chest, he acted as if nothing had happened.

The same was true for the second princess, who had no injuries on her body.

The series of fierce attacks launched by both sides just now could not even be considered a warm-up, but just a small test of each other.

However, for the audience dozens of kilometers away, it was already extremely exciting.

But at this moment, more than a dozen giant screens on the field suddenly flickered, and the pictures disappeared all of a sudden, as if the signal had been lost.

　I overslept today
