The next day, the emperor agreed to investigate the case thoroughly, but assigned it to the Ministry of Justice, which was one of Hua Shengxiong's forces.
The ministers had nothing to say, but they were all staring intently at the case. It was impossible for them to be careless.
Hua Shengxiong had been rushing and rushing about with this matter these past few days, searching for evidence and then destroying it. He simply did not have the time and time to think about what Hua Ruge was doing.
Hua Ruge increased from two matches per day to four matches per day. Because the Hua Clan wanted to finish the battle quickly, they agreed.
Therefore, every day, Hua Ruge would stroll around the stage, bringing the four of them back, it was extremely smooth.
Hua Ruge's stage was still blocked in front of the Hua Clan's gate. Not only was no one allowed to enter from the main entrance, no one was able to take down the scolding couplet, which could be said to be an enormous humiliation.
Hua Ruge would always listen to the commoner talking about the Hua Clan being such a scum, and Hua Clan being so weak that they couldn't even withstand a single blow. She couldn't help but smile.
The strength and prosperity of the Hua Clan had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for more than ten years. They were firmly rooted like a tree trunk, and it would not be easy to overthrow them.
However, if people were to think that the Hua Clan was merely at such a level, it would have the effect of pushing the wall down, spreading from the people to the government and even affecting the Emperor's judgement.
After a hundred people had said that it was true, those who had once been bullied by the Hua Clan, or even those who were jealous of them, would all take action.
She, the instigator, was just waiting to see a good show.
The next morning, Hua Ruge heard the Ministry of Justice's report saying that the City Lord had committed corruption, but other than those letters, there was no other evidence to prove that the Duke of Hua was the one who instigated corruption.
The officials were in an uproar, and quite a few of them jumped out to investigate. It was the emperor who stepped forward to suppress them, and even set a punishment of three years for being punished by a rank lower than Hua Shengxiong.
Thus, the Duke of Hua had become Marquis Hua. The difference of one level was like the sky and the earth.
Hua Ruge returned from the competition this day and summoned his friends over for a meal.
Tuoba Yu, Yan Zixing, Su Nianxia, and Shi Yan were all on the table.
Su Nianxia gave a thumbs up in the middle of the banquet and said: "Little big brother is truly amazing, just a casual act and this First Family would become nothing more than soy sauce."
"What do you mean by soy sauce?" Shi Yan raised his head and asked.
"Little big brother taught me not to tell anyone." Su Nianxia said proudly.
She finally had something that no one else understood.
"Oh." Shi Yan nodded and continued to eat.
This person was a genius at cultivation. Other than Hua Ruge, no one could be his match, but he had a simple and honest personality, so he could get along well with everyone.
Yan Zixing put down his chopsticks and said: "However, those with a discerning eye would be able to tell that Hua Shengxiong is taking the blame for the emperor, I'm afraid that this position will only fall temporarily."
"What Zixing said makes sense. Should we add fuel to the fire?" Tuoba Yu said.
Hua Ruge stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth and mumbled, "It's enough."
"Do you have another way?" Yan Zixing asked.
Previously, he wanted to remind Hua Ruge that the Hua Clan was not that weak, but now, he felt that it was needless to say that Hua Ruge had already planned it out.
"Brother Yan understands me." Hua Ruge gnawed on the chicken leg as he spoke, "This is only a greeting gift I gave him. The feast is yet to come."
She blinked her eyes at Tuoba Yu, who smiled and nodded.
Su Nianxia looked at the two of them: "You two must have some secret."
Hua Ruge lowered his head and continued to chew on his chicken leg. Tuoba Yu picked up a piece of white radish and placed it into his mouth gracefully.
Silence.
Su Nianxia grudgingly bit at the herb.
The next day, the Hua Family changed their signboard. They changed it from the Duke's Mansion to the Marquis' Mansion.
"This green one is better. It suits your family better than the red one." She sat on the stage and spoke sarcastically.
The Hua family's servant was furious.
"If that turtle was in a painting, then it would be even more suitable. Why did you have to rub it?"
"?"
"Hua Ruge, you're too presumptuous." The green clothed female walked out from the door, she was pretty, and it was Hua Ruxue.
Hua Ruge squinted, and said: "What kind of wind blew the number one genius of the Zheng out here?"
Hua Ruxue's face turned ugly. Other people thought that she was being praised, but she knew that she was not considered as a genius in front of Hua Ruge.
"Don't be too proud, I'll show you today, then don't lose too badly." Hua Ruxue scoffed.
"The tone of the number one genius is different from others." Hua Ruge said, then hooked his finger at her: "But just say what you think you are capable of, come up."
Hua Ruxue's face turned cold as he said, "My body has not recovered yet, so I won't fight with you."
"Injured?" Hua Ruge asked with great interest: "Who did the dignified number one genius of the Zheng Family get injured?"
Hua Ruxue recalled the fierce look on Hua Ruge's face and felt a bit of fear in his heart. However, he did not reveal it on his face, and snorted: "I'm just sick, not injured."
"As expected of a genius, lying is still the same as it is now." Hua Ruge ridiculed.
Hua Ruxue's face was red, his eyes staring straight at Hua Ruge.
"No matter how much you look at it, I still don't like ugly girls like you." Hua Ruge gave an exaggerated quiver, and then said: "Hurry up and send them up."
The spectators sighed, this Hua Ruge was indeed arrogant, to think that Hua Ruxue was actually an ugly woman in their eyes.
Hua Ruxue was both embarrassed and angry at the same time. With a wave of her hand, four middle-aged men walked out from behind him.
The moment the four of them appeared, the entire audience burst into an uproar. The Hua Family truly deserved to be called a great clan. Even a three star Soul Master could summon two people at once.
Without a magic tool, it wasn't impossible for a magic tool to instantly release the eighth stage.
With the group arena so close to the arena, the Battle Master had the advantage. It was not certain who would win if they fought against the Soul Master.
The crowd began to discuss, "The strongest was previously a 1-star, but now there are so many 3-star experts. It seems like the Hua Clan is serious."
"That's right, if any of them were to go up on stage, Hua Ruge would not be able to handle it, and it would be even more impossible for them to fight four matches."
"This Hua Ruge is still too young, the Hua Family's background is so deep, how could she challenge him?"
After Hua Ruxue heard this, he smiled, "The four matches that we agreed on, you better not escape just in time."
She was fully aware of Hua Ruge's strength, two star rankers would not affect her at all. However, three stars was another level, when four people took turns to go up, even Element Body would find it hard to last until the very end.
And even if Hua Ruge used the method of swallowing pellets to the end, his body would not be able to recover in a single day. If this happened again tomorrow, Hua Ruge would definitely lose miserably.
At that time, the Hua family would be able to punish her in broad daylight.
Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth curled up.
"Who said I was going to fight four rounds? I've changed my mind today." Hua Ruge said indifferently.
Hua Ruxue asked in disdain, "What? "You don't dare to?"
Hua Ruge laughed, and gestured at the four people: "Come at me together, I'll settle this in one round."
Silence!
After hearing Hua Ruge's words, everyone present was first stunned, and then they collectively suspected that they had heard wrongly.
No matter how strong a Soul Master of the seventh step was, he wouldn't be able to challenge a three star Soul Master, let alone four Soul Master of the same level.
Could it be that she knew that he was definitely going to lose and was trying to gain his dignity? That's why she was acting like this?
Hua Ruxue was startled for a moment. "Hua Ruge, you really don't know if you're dead or alive."
"I remember you saying that before, but who was the one that was so foolish that he was almost beaten to death in the end?" Hua Ruge looked at her with raised lips.
"Hua!"
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Hua Ruxue, after hearing these words, it seemed like Hua Ruxue had lost.
She was Great Zheng's number one genius, and looking at her age, she should be a bit older than Hua Ruge.
"Go, all of you go together!" Hua Ruxue clenched his teeth and ordered.
"This is getting angry from embarrassment. Hehe, it's fine if you don't have the strength, but you don't have the grace to do so." Hua Ruge said worriedly, "Can we still get married in the future like this?"
Hua Ruxue's face became even uglier.
The crowd wanted to laugh, but none of them dared to. This tongue was too poisonous.
observed that of the two Soul Master s, one was a Wind and the other was a Fire expert. Even outside, they were rarely seen experts.
When these people came out, they had already been told to treat Hua Ruge seriously, so they were confident that they still wouldn't underestimate their opponent.
Two of the Battle Master s surrounded Hua Ruge, and the two Soul Master s stood at the other side of the stage, preparing to release their techniques.
Hua Ruge didn't panic in the face of the two Battle Master s.
"Attack!"
The two Battle Master looked at each other, the sword Qi in their hands crisscrossed, and the surrounding air started to move even though there was no wind. It was likely that anyone who wanted to approach them at this time would definitely be ground to smithereens by the berserk sword Qi.
Hua Ruge was speechless, a 3-star was indeed much stronger than a 2-star.
However, she seemed to have forgotten to say that she had already broken through.
She pursed her lips, and her body suddenly soared into the sky, dodging the Battle Master's attack. At the same time, the wooden stick in her hand faintly flashed with a dark light.
Everyone felt the temperature of the air rise. It was clearly winter, but it was hotter than summer.
Everyone in the arena was shocked as they saw a five-meter-tall, gigantic flaming person suddenly appear. Its high temperature could be felt even from ten meters away.
"Summoning the Fire Elemental Man, this is a soul technique of the ninth step, how could she instantly cast it?" On the other side of the arena, the three star soul masters were stunned.
They could only cast a rank 8 soul technique with their equipment. What cultivation did Hua Ruge have, to be able to cast a rank 9 soul technique in an instant?
The two Battle Master s were forced to retreat due to the high temperature. Even with their strong physiques, they were unable to deal with this monster.
Hua Ruge calmly stood in the air and gave the fire person an order: "Go."
The blazing man had a savage expression on his face as he strode forward, bringing with him a blazing heat.
Those with discerning eyes all knew that these people wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
Hua Ruxue was even more so, pushed back a few steps, and said with a pale face, "Impossible ? "She was still a Seventh Order warrior last time, how could she have broken through so quickly ?"
