"Doesn't that make it unfair?"
Lin Chuchu asked in surprise, "If they gang up to block one person, how can anyone get through?"
"If one doesn't have good relationships, how can they become a驸马!"
Lin Jianyi chuckled, "Moreover, if one possesses extraordinary strength, no one will be able to stop them!"
"That's true!"
Lin Chuchu nodded, and at the same time, she looked at Lu Fan. If Lu Fan were to make a move, it was unlikely that many people could block him on this thunderous stage.
Meanwhile, in a corner outside the imperial city, Princess Linglong, dressed in a cloak, silently observed everything.
"Princess, isn't this improper?"
Lin Chuchu asked, "Today is the day for your marriage selection. If others find out you are watching from outside the imperial city, it might be considered undignified!"
"If you don't say, and I don't say, who will know!"
Princess Linglong chuckled, "Besides, what's wrong with me coming to see my future husband in advance!"
"Ahem..." Xiao Qing coughed a few times, feeling a bit awkward.
On the massive arena, quite a few figures had already entered, causing quite a stir.
The number of people who came to participate in the marriage selection was not small, and most importantly, the participants were mostly individuals with significant backgrounds.
Those who could participate in the marriage selection assembly were naturally not ordinary people.
Lu Fan and Lin Jianyi exchanged a look, leaped up, and arrived on the arena.
On the arena, hundreds of figures were already standing. These were all prodigies; otherwise, they wouldn't have had the courage to come onto this stage.
"The gates to the imperial palace have opened. Everyone, compete based on your own abilities!"
The elder spoke, "Only the first 100 people to enter the imperial palace will be eligible to compete for the position of 驸马!"
As soon as the elder finished speaking, many figures strode towards the imperial palace. If one could become a 驸马, they would soar to the heavens, so why would they miss this opportunity?
However, with so many people present, to be the first to enter the imperial palace, one had to stand out. A few people who were just about to move were instantly ambushed and directly knocked off the arena.
The others also became vigilant, looking around, and dared not delay any further. They were well aware that to enter the imperial palace, one had to proceed with caution. If they were too rash, they would inevitably be ambushed, and by then, entering the imperial palace might not be so easy.
"Brother Lu, why don't we go shoulder to shoulder and charge into the imperial palace together?" Lin Jianyi said with a smile.
"If we need to go shoulder to shoulder just to enter the imperial palace, we won't be able to become a 驸马."
Lu Fan smiled slightly, stepped forward forcefully, and headed directly into the palace.
Seeing this, the crowd's expressions turned grim. They would not allow such a thing to happen, as the 100 spots were too few, and the entry of anyone would put them at a disadvantage.
Besides Lu Fan, a few others also exuded their aura and headed towards the palace, but no one dared to stop them. One of them was Lin Guoping, whom Lu Fan recognized.
In addition, there were two other figures. These two also emanated powerful auras, and no one among the crowd dared to step forward to stop them.
Only Lu Fan, after taking a few steps, was attacked by over a dozen figures. These dozen people seemed to have already formed a formation, and their momentum was considerable.
Lin Guoping and the others were individuals with status and background, so people naturally didn't dare to deal with them lightly. However, Lu Fan looked unfamiliar and seemed to have no significant background, making him an easy target for them.
Seeing the dozen figures, Lu Fan ignored them, treating them as if they were nothing, and continued to walk forward nonchalantly, as if these dozen people could not cause him any disturbance.
Boom...
Suddenly, a powerful aura emanated from Lu Fan, instantly repelling everyone. His gaze became even colder. In his eyes, these people were of no consequence.
At this moment, the onlookers below the stage exclaimed. The aura displayed by Lu Fan was not that of an ordinary expert. To possess such skill at such a young age was truly remarkable.
"Princess, it seems his strength is extraordinary!"
Xiao Qing said, "I wonder if the Princess is his match!"
"How will we know if we don't try? Besides, he might not even become a final candidate."
Linglong said casually, but she was somewhat surprised by the move Lu Fan had just displayed. Lu Fan's ability to exhibit such skill was truly extraordinary.
As Lu Fan entered the imperial palace, Lin Jianyi instantly unleashed his sword qi, pressing towards the imperial palace with imposing momentum.
Inside the imperial palace, on the martial arts field, several figures were already standing. Lin Guoping was one of them.
"I don't know what's going on with the royal family, forcing us to participate in this marriage selection assembly. Everyone knows that Princess Linglong will eventually marry into one of our three great families!"
A man spoke. This man was Zhao Tianyun from the Zhao family, one of the three great families. The Zhao family was considered a leading power in the entire imperial city, being one of the three great families.
"Brother Zhao speaks the truth!"
Li Guang nodded slightly, "If the choice is within the three great families, why go through all this trouble, forcing us three to go through layers of selection!"
Li Guang looked displeased. He was the young master of the Li family, one of the three great families. If it weren't for his family's coercion, he wouldn't have participated in such a marriage selection assembly.
"We can't say that!" Lin Guoping smiled, "The royal family has its reasons. Moreover, even within our three great families, we may not be able to control everything. Perhaps today, a dark horse will emerge who can surpass the three of us!"
"Among the younger generation in the entire White Dragon Dynasty, we are all top existences."
Zhao Tianyun stated directly, "Besides us, who else can become number one."
"There are always people better than you, and heavens beyond heavens. Some things are not as simple as they seem!"
Lin Guoping smiled, "Perhaps someone is more powerful than us, even surpassing us. By then, our three great families might not even have a spot."
Zhao Tianyun didn't believe it. In his opinion, there couldn't be anyone that strong. After all, among the younger generation in the White Dragon Dynasty, the three of them were the peak. Otherwise, they wouldn't have entered the imperial palace so easily on the arena just now.
As they were talking, Lu Fan arrived at the imperial palace's martial arts field, appearing calm and composed.
"Speak of the devil, and he appears!"
Lin Guoping smiled and then looked at Lu Fan.
Zhao Tianyun and Li Guang also looked at Lu Fan, feeling somewhat bewildered. Could the person Lin Guoping just mentioned, the one who could surpass them, be this person? Those who could enter this martial arts field were not ordinary individuals, especially those who entered early.
