Two days later, when Ling Feng arrived at the Divine Court, the entire court was already abuzz with the marriage news between Princess Mingyu and the second son of General Ling Wei, Chen Xun.

In the Lingwei General Mansion, General Ling Wei looked at Chen Xun, who seemed somewhat wooden, with a trace of sorrow in his eyes.

Chen Xun was once his most beloved second son and also the most talented of the Chen Family's younger generation, but five years ago, when Chen Xun forcibly broke through, it caused a reversal of True Qi, leading to a state of madness and almost made him an idiot!

Though after treatment there was a significant improvement, he became very different from before. Now, his world revolves around only two things: cultivation and marrying Princess Mingyu!

The reason he went mad back then was partly because of Princess Mingyu. Chen Xun liked Princess Mingyu so much that it led to his mental instability during the breakthrough, resulting in such an outcome.

However, it's a blessing in disguise, as the damage to Chen Xun's mind made him single-minded, and his cultivation instead became more refined.

"My son, seeing you like this, do you know how much pain it causes your father?" General Ling Wei mumbled to himself as he looked at Chen Xun staring blankly into the distance, "The only thing I can do now is to use my current power to ask the Divine Emperor to marry Princess Mingyu to you. Though this might make the Divine Emperor somewhat displeased with me, it's the only thing I can do for you!"

At this moment, the steward of the Lingwei General Mansion walked in, "Master, the selection process for the Heavenly Battlefield just came out."

"Is there any change from before?" General Ling Wei asked indifferently.

The steward nodded, "It is indeed somewhat different from the previous competition system!"

"A grand melee? How come it's a grand melee this time!" At the announcement site, as General Divine Might unveiled the selection rules for this Heavenly Battlefield, the crowd was in an uproar.

Previously, it was always one-on-one battles, with the winner staying and the loser retreating! But this time it suddenly changed to a grand melee, meaning individual strength will not be the key factor in determining whether one can stay!

"This is unfair! This is unfair!" Many participants at the God Realm and Divine Sea Realm shouted loudly.

"This is clearly in favor of the family heirs; if they band together, we have no way to compete!" exclaimed a master of the Divine Sea Realm: "We are ready to serve the Divine Realm; we do not accept this assessment method."

"That's right, we do not accept it!" Others screamed emotionally as well, "It is clear they don't want us to participate; it is an act of abusing power for private gain! We need to go to General Divine Might for an explanation!"

"That's right, we need an explanation; who will come with me?"

"I'll go, I can't believe it, there is no justice in the Divine Court!"

"Count me in, I want to see what General Divine Might has to say!"

...

This unexpected change in the assessment format made many cultivators, who were weak and alone, feel very angry, as this type of assessment significantly lowered their chances of promotion.

Many contestants charged furiously toward the Divine Might General Mansion, an event quite rare in the Divine Court, because after all, General Divine Might is an expert of the Azure Sky Realm and holds a high position in the Divine Court.

"Tsk tsk, did that guy Divine Might lose his mind?" General Ling Wei was stunned after hearing the steward's words: "What kind of medicine is being sold in this Divine Might's gourd."

No matter what, thousands of peak Divine Realm and peak Divine Sea Realm experts charged towards the Divine Might General Mansion, a scene rarely seen in a century, and many of the great families wanted to see how General Divine Might would handle it.

If General Divine Might handled it improperly and caused a turmoil, it would be quite a scandal for the Divine Court.

When almost everyone surrounded the Divine Might General Mansion, the mansion's doors did not open, as if General Divine Might did not intend to explain anything.

"We demand an explanation!"

"That's right, we protest this selection mechanism, it's unreasonable!"

"We are here to fight for the Divine Realm, not to be toyed with by you."

...

Voices, waves of noise transmitted into the Divine Might General Mansion.

"Father, there's an uproar outside, what should we do!" a tall and slender man asked, looking at the complacent General Divine Might.

"Ouyang Xu, you are the eldest son of the Ouyang Family, you must at least have the composure of indifference to honor or disgrace, look at you now, what do you look like!" General Divine Might said lightly, "Don't worry, if they dare to attack our Divine Might General Mansion, I would be pleased, fearing only that they are a group of cowards who only know how to shout."

Ouyang Xu smiled wryly; his talent in cultivation was not as good as his second brother, so he invested more energy in family affairs, and encountering such a situation made him excitable as he inevitably would be!

"I'll go rest for an hour, if they haven't left by then, just drive them away!" With a wave of his hand, General Divine Might said, "Just ask them if they are entering the Heavenly Battlefield for a tournament or a life-and-death battle!"

Ouyang Xu's eyes narrowed, he took a deep breath, "Father, I understand, I know what to do now!"

Soon, an hour passed, and the crowd outside did not diminish, but instead grew larger and larger.

Despite the number of people, no one dared to make a move against the Divine Might General Mansion, angry but not foolish, they remained rational.

The reputation of a person, the shadow of a tree, the reputation of General Divine Might was built with blood and steel.

With a creak, the doors of the Divine Might General Mansion opened, and the crowd's spirits lifted in excitement: "Here they come, the people from the Divine Might General Mansion finally came out!"

It was Ouyang Xu who emerged, clad in a white robe. Though his cultivation had just reached the Divine Realm, under the gaze of many peak Divine Realm and peak Divine Sea Realm experts, he was not the least bit intimidated but instead had an ethereal demeanor akin to a jade gentleman.

"This is the eldest son of General Divine Might, Young Master Ouyang Xu. I think Young Master Ouyang Xu will surely give us a perfect explanation!" someone shouted.

Ouyang Xu's expression remained unchanged, he raised his hand and motioned them down, "I know everyone's emotions are high right now, but can everyone calm down and listen to what I have to say?"

It seemed as though Ouyang Xu carried an exceptional charm, and the crowd indeed quieted down.

"You are all elites of the Divine Realm, with a zealous heart to contribute to the Divine Realm! I am well aware of this, and so is my father!" Ouyang Xu wore a faint smile, and as people saw his smile, their anger subsided slightly.

"I know your doubts, and I am here precisely because of this matter!" Ouyang Xu said, "Before we continue, I have a question I want to ask everyone!"
