In truth, although the current Third Prince held tremendous authority in the Sun Moon Empire, he was still not at the point where every Titled Douluo in the Sun Moon Empire would kneel and salute him.
Jing Hongchen and the others knelt because they had already been the Third Prince's people to begin with. An Litong and the others now also knew that the Third Prince and the Death God Messenger were in league, so kneeling to either one was the same.
However, those Titled Douluo who would not kneel to the Third Prince also would not casually appear in the open, so this matter had not been exposed.
But that did not mean those Titled Douluo had not been paying attention to the Third Prince and the Soul Master Competition. In particular, the offerings of the Worship Hall had all chosen to take a side and support the Third Prince now, and they were also guarding against foreign experts coming out to cause trouble in this Soul Master Competition.
After all, the experts this Soul Master Competition had drawn in could be said to be the greatest in history. There was also Xuan Zi of Shrek Academy, who had entered Mingdu without the slightest concealment. He was the biggest unstable bomb.
Yet they had not expected the Third Prince to pull off something huge.
After the first day's matches ended, the Third Prince had just returned to the palace when he saw Kong Deming, who had already been waiting outside the palace gates for a long time.
When Kong Deming saw the Third Prince return, he did not waste words and went straight to the point, asking the Third Prince with a grave expression, "Your Highness, are you serious about that hundred-thousand-year soul bone being used as a reward?"
