Chapter 879 This Is?! (2)

All of the princes immediately knitted their brows.

As they had already guessed, they had been gathered to be sent out to face the enemy. Otherwise, why would the Mu Stellar King even call back the princes that had lost and were preparing to leave?

But none of the princes wanted to be the one to face the enemy.

After all, this was an enemy from a Stellar Kingdom that was at the same level as theirs. If they were to face the enemies, they would have to sacrifice their own subordinates and weaken themselves.

That would not help them in the long run since it would mean they would have less of a chance of winning the succession race.

But the next words of the Mu Stellar King changed their mindsets.

The Mu Stellar King could see the hesitation in the princes, so tapping his fingers on the armrest of his throne, he said, "Of course, this also presents us with another chance to see which prince is suited for the crown prince position. So instead of the tournament, we will turn this disaster into fortune by using it as a test of the crown prince position."

All of the princes suddenly looked up at the Mu Stellar King who was sitting there.

Seeing that he had caught their attention, the Mu Stellar King continued with a smile, "We will be counting your contribution based on the number of enemies that you defeat. The one that receives the most battle contributions will receive the title of crown prince."

When the princes heard this, they immediately narrowed their eyes and looked at each other.

Since the Mu Stellar King had announced this in front of everyone like this, there was certainly no way of taking this back. So now it all depended on getting as much battle contribution as possible to win that title.

All the princes that had been planning on holding back their power now were thinking about how to take down as many enemies as possible.

That was except for the second prince who still calmly stood there staring at the Mu Stellar King.

The Mu Stellar King revealed a smile when he saw the movements between the princes, but when he saw the second prince staring at him, that smile froze on his face. He could feel a bad premonition, as if something that wasn't good for him was about to happen.

But what could happen now?

What could the second prince possibly do when they were facing enemies?

As the princes started plotting out their plans, the second prince suddenly received a call.

He didn't open his wristwatch to receive this call, but rather he used a wireless headset to take the call. As he listened, he said, "Un, got it. Let's start then."

After hanging up on this call, he suddenly took a step forward.

No one noticed him at first since they were too busy focusing on the new method of determining the crown prince, but after he took a few more steps they began paying attention to him.

It was one person at first, but soon everyone was staring at the second prince as he slowly walked towards the Mu Stellar King sitting on the throne.

The Mu Stellar King also noticed this and he just narrowed his eyes as he started at the second prince. However, as the second prince came closer and closer, he couldn't help feeling a bad premonition.

So when the second prince had moved halfway, he suddenly said in a commanding voice, "Second prince, what are you doing?"

But the second prince completely ignored him.

Seeing this, the Mu Stellar King waved his hand and several of his personal guards appeared between him and the second prince. They raised their weapons and pointed them at the second prince as the leader of these personal guards said, "Your highness, please stop. If you have something to say, please say it."

The second prince ignored them and walked up right in front of him, making these guards very nervous.

After all, they knew how strong the second prince was and if he were to fight seriously, it would not end well for them…

But right before clashing with them, the second prince suddenly stopped.

He looked up at the Mu Stellar King and said, "I have an objection."

"Huh?"

That was the only reaction that anyone could have in response to this.

In this situation, what objection would the second prince have?

After all, wasn't this situation better for him? Not to mention, wasn't it more important to deal with the approaching enemies instead?

But the second prince was standing there in front of the Mu Stellar King raising an objection.

The Mu Stellar King hesitated a bit before saying, "Second prince, what is your objection?"

The second prince looked right into the Mu Stellar King's eyes and said, "I object to you being the king. You are incompetent and rash, your reign has been a dark spot in the history of our Mu Stellar Kingdom."

The arena became so silent that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard when the second prince said this.

Everyone just stared at the second prince with wide eyes, even the other princes as no one could understand what was going on through the mind of the second prince.

Even if his words were true, did he not know the consequences of saying these?

The Mu Stellar King was so stunned that he wasn't even able to react to the second prince's words. He just stared at the second prince in a daze as his mind turned and processed those words.

Finally, his face scrunched up in a look of rage as he slammed his fist down on the arms of his throne, "Insolence! Traitor! Someone! Take the second prince away and lock him up in the deepest parts of the dungeons!"

When the first and fourth prince heard this, they couldn't help revealing faint sinister smiles.

They had been contemplating how to take care of the second prince who was their biggest competition, but they never expected the second prince to take care of himself for them.

Once the second prince was gone, there would be no one standing in their way to the throne.

The personal guards revealed hesitant looks, but in the end, they still moved towards the second prince.

The leader of the guards said, "Your highness, please don't make this hard on us. Please just come with us willingly."

But before they could make a move, the second prince's subordinates suddenly jumped in front of the second prince. This group of cloaked figures stood between the second prince and the personal guards of the Mu Stellar King.

The personal guards knew that this meant that the second prince wouldn't come with them easily. So with heavy looks, they raised their weapons and prepared for a fight.

However, one of the cloaked figures suddenly raised their hand and there was a domain that pressed down on them.

No matter how the personal guards tried, they couldn't go against the domain that fell onto them.

As the personal guards of the king, naturally there wasn't a single weak person among them.

All of them were in the Star Realm and the leader of the guards was even in the Peak Star Realm. They would be considered experts no matter where they went, but now they were unable to do a thing against this cloaked figure.

The only possibility of this was that this person was in the Planet Realm.

After stopping the guards, the short cloaked person said in a scrambled voice that had a teasing, "Your highness, it seems like you're quite well liked.

Even though this person had used their domain on the guards, there were many of them that weren't struggling like the leader of the guards was.

That was because they knew that between the current king and the second prince, the second prince was clearly the better choice. So instead of trying to force their way out of this bind to protect the king, it was better for them to wait and see how this turned out.

If possible, they even wanted the second prince to take the throne.

The Mu Stellar King deeply knitted his brows when he saw this.

He never would have expected that his son would have a Planet Realm Expert following him. This was not a small matter since even the Mu Stellar King didn't have many Planet Realm Experts under him.

But that didn't mean that he didn't have any at all.

Seeing that his personal guards had all been restrained, the Mu Stellar King shouted, "General Wu!"

The general that had been meeting with the king earlier suddenly jumped out and stood in front of the Mu Stellar King, releasing his aura as he said, "All of you stand down now!"

Then facing the cloaked figure, he said, "Release them or you die."

It wasn't just an arrogant statement, but rather a statement that he could back.

After all, this General Wu was the supreme general of the Mu Stellar Kingdom and one of the strongest experts that they had. He was someone who was in the Peak Planet Realm, so he could easily stop this cloaked figure who was only in the Low Planet Realm.

But then before he could make a move, there was an aura that slammed right into his aura and negated it.

Another one of the cloaked figures came forward and stood between General Wu and the rest of the cloaked figures while saying, "Hello general, shall we compare notes?"

General Wu revealed a shocked look because the aura that this person was releasing wasn't below his!

This person was also in the Peak Planet Realm!
