Zhao Letian focused his gaze and saw that the newcomer was a young man with disheveled hair, exceptionally sturdy build.
He was nearly ten feet tall, wearing only a pair of black pants, his upper body bare and muscular, his exposed skin covered with a layer of fine golden Scale Armor, akin to wearing Golden Battle Armor, giving off an indestructible and immensely powerful aura, his whole presence like a golden titan, merely standing there exerted a tremendous oppressive force.
"True Martial Realm ninth level peak? This man's aura is tremendously strong, not at all inferior to Meng Yi and others, in fact, even stronger."
Zhao Letian was inwardly shocked.
Meng Yi, Hua Qianyang, and Yanmoluo were already the top True Martial Realm experts in Gray Wolf Kingdom, those stronger than them in True Martial Realm were probably only the leading figure among the Royal Capital's ten princes.
"It's Baru, the foremost of the Royal Capital's ten princes, the strongest existence below the Sect Martial Realm!"
The crowd in the plaza instantly erupted.
The arrival of Baru brought shock to the people, not any less than a King-level Expert.
King-level Experts, despite being immensely powerful, could still be found a few in the Royal Capital.
However, in the entire Gray Wolf Kingdom, only Baru was universally acknowledged as the number one below the Sect Martial Realm.
What's more critical, the president of Holy Spirit Academy once prophesized that with Baru's talent and aptitude, so long as he does not die prematurely, he would undoubtedly become a King-level Expert one day.
And if he were to become a King-level Expert, he wouldn't just be an ordinary one, but a standout among King-level Experts.
Thus, from a certain perspective, Baru's value was by no means less than a King-level Expert.
"Young Baru, extending wishes of eternal life to the Monarch, my gift is not rare treasures but, a promise."
Baru bowed, his voice booming like a big bell.
The crowd slightly startled, their eyes revealing a puzzled look.
Baru's gift was indeed unexpectedly compelling.
However, being merely a True Martial Realm individual, even if his strength and talent were outstanding, the weight of a promise seemed not very high, how could it compete with others?
"Interesting, tell me, what promise are you going to make to me."
Monarch Murong Shengxiong replied with a faint smile, quite curious.
For him, a Martial Arts Great Master, even the finest Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures might not catch his eye, instead, some unique gifts could pique his interest more.
"My promise is simple, one year later when the Imperial Secret Realm opens, I, Baru, will fight for Gray Wolf Kingdom, and at that time, I will do my utmost to seek a method to extend your life for the Monarch."
Baru exclaimed confidently, his voice full of assurance.
"Imperial Secret Realm!"
Everyone's expression changed, their eyes showing longing.
The Imperial Secret Realm, a higher-level Small World compared to Gray Wolf Secret Realm, opens only once every hundred years.
At that time, Gray Wolf Kingdom, Dajin Country, as well as other neighboring countries, will all send their top True Martial Realm talents to participate.
Those who perform well will not only gain immense opportunities for themselves but will also bring great benefits to their home countries.
In this once-in-a-century grand event, Baru indeed has the potential to seek a life-extending method for Monarch Murong Shengxiong.
Zhao Letian heard about the Imperial Secret Realm for the first time, not understanding the context, so he had no choice but to listen intently to the discussions of the people around him.
"Very well, you are determined, I look forward to the day you fulfill your promise." This chapter was made possible by the * community.
Monarch Murong Shengxiong, moved slightly for the first time, but soon regained his composure, responding with a light smile.
Baru's promise indeed had the possibility of being realized, but Murong Shengxiong was very clear that this possibility was too slight.
To fulfill this promise, Baru must rank among the top in this grand event.
Even more likely, he must secure the first place to do so.
However, there were too many monstrous geniuses participating in this event; individuals comparable to Baru were certainly not in the minority. It would be too difficult for Baru to stand out among these talents.
After hearing Murong Shengxiong's response, Baru flew to the castle tower of the Royal Palace, completely ignoring other Prince Consort candidates during the process, as if he did not take any of them seriously.
Contrarily, the other Prince Consort candidates were watching him warily, their eyes also filled with envy.
While other people were presenting their gifts, the Monarch's reaction had always been very calm, only showing a slight emotion when Baru presented his gift, indicating that the Monarch valued Baru's gift more than those from others.
What was more infuriating was that Baru did not, like others, painstakingly prepare; he merely brought a simple verbal promise.
Coincidentally, after arriving at the castle tower, Baru stood right next to Zhao Letian.
Compared to Baru's massive stature, Zhao Letian's robust body seemed extremely tiny.
After giving Baru a composed glance, Zhao Letian then stepped forward to proceed.
After Baru, he was the only Prince Consort candidate left who had not yet presented his gift.
"Come back here. Do you think your gift can compare with mine? Don't waste time, since I am here, the final winner of this competition can only be me, you all have no chance."
As Zhao Letian was about to levitate and soar, Baru suddenly rebuked unceremoniously, his attitude proud, as if issuing commands.
Wanyan Zheng and the others, upon hearing this, immediately showed a sarcastic cold smirk, ready to watch the drama unfold.
Baru's strength was undeniable. As an invincible presence below the Sect Martial Realm, he indeed had the authority to issue commands to others in the True Martial Realm.
If it were someone else being rebuked by Baru, they might choose to temporarily endure it, as Baru's strength was too formidable, and ordinary people dared not provoke him.
However, they all knew that Zhao Letian was a very proud person, and it was unlikely that he would swallow his pride.
"Are you talking to me?"
Zhao Letian frowned, paused for a moment, turned around, and stared coldly at Baru.
"Who else could it be?"
Baru did not even look directly at Zhao Letian, indifferently said.
"What are you? It's not your place to dictate what I should do."
Zhao Letian spoke coldly and without courtesy, likewise not looking directly at Baru.
Hearing this, Wanyan Zheng and others had an even more amused look on their faces; Zhao Letian did not disappoint them, maintaining his typical arrogance, even daring to provoke Baru.
Provoking Baru, Zhao Letian definitely would not have a good outcome.
"What did you say? I didn't hear clearly, say it again."
Baru's expression suddenly turned grim, an ominous aura emanating from him like a massive mountain, pressing down on Zhao Letian.
