Divine Emperor of Death

An opportunity missed! Regret swelled in their hearts of the Royal Protectors for a moment before it distorted into nothingness.

If they had acted before the beast-like man made a move on Miss Isabella, then perhaps they would've at least received her goodwill.

In any case, they lost nothing, so they didn't feel as bad as they thought that they would as they looked at the aftermath.

As for Crown Prince Hadre, he pursed his lips and silently cursed himself for belaying!

Perhaps, even standing beside her might've garnered her goodwill while he reaped the benefits from her valor! This was a win-win situation but he failed to make use of it!

Regret filled his heart with him still unable to remove it, unlike the Royal Protectors.

Princess Isabella looked at the beast-like man's corpse in front of her.

Even after he had turned dead, the body was still experiencing slight changes as if the encroaching blood essence of the magical beast wouldn't let him rest in peace.

This caused her to once again frown as she couldn't understand the reason why her opponent had resorted to this method to defeat her! No matter how she thought, such a method bordered on the level of insanity!

There were many other methods that she felt that he could have tried, like burning his own blood essence to access greater prowess but instead, he preferred to use a method such as gambling with his own life to win against her?

Even if he had won, wouldn't that still leave his body transformed into a beast? Wouldn't that perhaps make people unable to differentiate whether if he was a human or a magical beast?

What was the use of him winning then? Wouldn't he be ostracized and even targeted by human supremacists who didn't want to see their human blood tainted?

Princess Isabella didn't know about much the consequences, however, she felt that she wouldn't resort to such methods unless she was pushed to a corner.

'Was my final opponent forced into a corner by someone else?'

Princess Isabella felt that it should be the case but didn't dwell on it much since it didn't involve herself to an extent. Besides, it was clear that her final opponent had resigned himself to kill her when he said that she had 'forced' her.

Princess Isabella then panned her gaze across the spectators and found Davis calmly looking at her with a smile on his face. Her pupils instantaneously dilated as she caught sight of a peculiar item.

In his grasp, she saw a paper talisman hanging by his finger.

'He was prepared to help me?'

Princess Isabella was instantly able to tell his intentions. She imperceptibly took a deep breath and pursed her lips before she calmed her pounding heart.

'He could have also just taken out it for a show...' She inwardly shook her head and denied vehemently while looking at the three people who were currently approaching her from the direction of the VIP section.

Perhaps she had noticed their shrewd gazes for a long time before, she narrowed her eyes feeling ill of their presence.

A person with a stately aura led the entourage of three. He had the bearing of an elegant royal and wore princely robes outside a flexible armor.

He stepped into the lead and clasped his hands, \"Miss Isabella, we apologize for the inconvenience caused by this man. We will look into it for you.\"

As he said, he watched her reaction intently to guess whether if this matter had anything to do with her.

Indeed, he had also doubted why this person would choose this kind of method to increase the power of his cultivation when many other methods exist.

Only a blood feud, despair or a crazy attitude could make a person decide to absorb magical beast blood essence into his body.

Princess Isabella just nodded her head, \"Where's the reward?\"

Crown Prince Hadre's eyes twitched, 'As expected of a grand person who does not even see me in her eyes...'

He faked a laugh even though he felt angry.

He summoned a big container from his spatial ring as he kept it on the ground. It was not a jade container to keep items and their energy from leaking out but just a normal container.

He then used his essence energy to break the seal on the container and looked at Princess Isabella, \"Miss Isabella, I still have to award you the Conferred Q...\"

\"Not interested...\" Princess Isabella interjected.

Crown Prince Hadre's lips twitched halfway and he looked at back at the Royal Protectors who eyed him to be careful of his words.

He returned his gaze back, opened the container and took a pure white jade container that was extremely rich in details and intricate carvings as if it was made for the royalty.

Princess Isabella garnered that even the pure white jade container would sell for a few Mid-Level Spirit Stones, maybe even a hundred but she felt couldn't be sure since she wasn't a merchant.

Crown Prince Hadre again took a moment to break the seal on the container and opened it!

Heaven and earth energy instantly gushed out of the pure white jade container and enriched the area, widening the eyes of the people who were in the spectators' seats with awe.

In truth, they knew what it was since the rewards were something that was announced publically!

High-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments!

Princess Isabella was also astonished but she didn't let it show on her face.

One High-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragment could compare to ten Peak-Level Spirit Stones in terms of energy stored and Peak-Level Spirit Stones are used by Law Sea Stage Experts to increase their essence energy!

Although there was a difference in terms of purity, it wasn't much since a fragment essentially produced thousands of spirit stones of the same quality with the help of source, a vein core.

Hence, the purity of a fragment is at a higher level than the stones it produced, that is to say, in terms of purity, a High-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragment is way purer than High-Level Spirit Stones.

Because of this, the High-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragment can also be used by a Law Sea Stage Expert to increase their essence energy and improve their cultivation!

This is why everyone in the Seventh Stage was more or less hyped by the Conferred King Tournament because the rewards involved an item capable of making them break into the Eighth Stage!

In the pure white jade container, there were ten palm-sized triangular-shaped crystals translucently glowing.

Crown Prince Hadre shot an imperceptible yet condescending look at the spectators before closing the lid of the pure white jade container and presenting it to Princess Isabella while announcing the reward.

Princess Isabella kept the pure white jade container into her spatial ring and looked at the next one.

\"A High-Level King Grade Sword...\" Crown Prince Hadre rather had an awkward expression when he said it.

He tried to control his expression to the best of his ability while handing it over to Princess Isabella. After all, the other party had a Peak-Level King Grade Armament in her arsenal.

Besides, because of the mysterious background of Miss Isabella, she perhaps had even more higher-graded treasures with her?

What could a High-Level King Grade Armament measure for? A spare weapon?

Only the ten High-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments were the main rewards of the tournament! As for the other rewards, they were all additional rewards which would also not pale in comparison but to Miss Isabella...

He inwardly spat at himself and told himself to obediently act like a grandson in front of her!
