Translator: End less Fantasy Translation     Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As a result, the four votes supporting the Third Prince became three votes!

This meant that the Third Prince no longer had a clear majority, which left everyone stunned, including the West Sea Dragon King.

The Crown Prince, who felt hopeless at first, was wide-eyed when he saw this.

In addition, the Third Prince, who was originally confident of victory, had a gloomy expression on his face.

In a moment of anger, he got up and slammed the table, glaring angrily at the culprit!

“General w.a.n.g Long, what do you mean by this? Why did you suddenly lower your arm?”

Obviously, the Third Prince had failed to restrain his anger.

w.a.n.g Long looked at everyone’s eyes and felt embarra.s.sed.

In fact, w.a.n.g Long was also prepared to support the Third Prince, but the Deep Sea Python clan had already pledged allegiance to w.a.n.g Mang.

When he raised his hand earlier, he suddenly noticed that w.a.n.g Mang had not raised his hand. Furthermore, w.a.n.g Mang shot a glance at him, which made him immediately realize that w.a.n.g Mang did not want the Third Prince to become the Crown Prince.

Therefore, he had no choice but to put down his hand.

Therefore, when he saw the West Sea Dragon King and the others frowning and looking at him unhappily, w.a.n.g Long said awkwardly, “Please don’t blame me, Your Majesty. I misheard you. 1 thought you were calling for votes for the Crown Prince.”

After hearing w.a.n.g Long’s words, the West Sea Dragon King frowned slightly.

Previously, he was indeed prepared to pa.s.s the position to the Crown Prince.

However, after that shameful incident, he naturally changed his mind, as the Crown Prince had become an eyesore to him.

While all this was happening, the Crown Prince knew that his chance had come!

He had also noticed w.a.n.g Mang’s expression earlier, and the brief exchange between w.a.n.g Mang and w.a.n.g Long.

If it were not for the fact that he was in front of so many people, he would have knelt down and begged w.a.n.g Mang to support him. Once w.a.n.g Mang supported him, w.a.n.g Long would naturally follow suit!

At that time, he and the Third Prince would be tied, and he would still have a chance at becoming the heir. Therefore, he turned to look at w.a.n.g Mang pleadingly, who clearly noticed it.

To be honest, w.a.n.g Mang wanted to take over the West Sea Dragon Palace, so he naturally would not support a prince who had the support of the opposing va.s.sal clans.

The Crown Prince, on the other hand, was in a shaky position, and far easier to exploit. Therefore, his choice was a no-brainer.

Incidentally, he also disliked how arrogant the Third Prince was, as the latter had not even bothered to look at him earlier. This fellow was clearly disregarding him.

If he was this arrogant now, w.a.n.g Mang could already imagine how he would behave once he took over the throne.

However, what was strange was that the West Sea Dragon King was surprisingly not furious. This was naturally due to the fact that he did not want to see the generals united.

After all, if these generals were united, then they would be able to overpower, and perhaps overthrow, the West Sea Dragon clan.

Because of this, the West Sea Dragon King was not very angry when he saw that w.a.n.g Mang and w.a.n.g Long did not support the Third Prince.

“Alright, Ao Lie, sit down!”

The West Sea Dragon King waved his hand and chided the Third Prince.

Hearing this, the Third Prince snorted and looked at w.a.n.g Mang and w.a.n.g Long coldly. He did not hide the disgust in his eyes.

w.a.n.g Mang was not bothered by this. On the contrary, he felt that it was easier to deal with a straightforward person like this compared to those sinister fellows who liked to plot in the dark.

At this moment, the West Sea Dragon King glanced at everyone and said calmly, “Those who wish to support the Crown Prince, raise your hands!”

As soon as he finished speaking, w.a.n.g Mang and w.a.n.g Long raised their hands.

This caused the Third Prince’s expression to turn extremely gloomy!

His path to becoming the Crown Prince had been disrupted by w.a.n.g Mang just like that! In that moment, his eyes were filled with intense killing intent as he stared coldly at w.a.n.g Mang.

On the contrary, the Crown Prince’s lips curled up slightly as he looked at w.a.n.g Mang with reverence and grat.i.tude.

“Alright! Since this is the case, the voting has resulted in a tie.”

“You guys have a good discussion. In an hour or two, we’ll re-vote!”

Clearly, the West Sea Dragon King was adamant about appointing an heir today.

As he spoke, the West Sea Dragon King didn’t forget to give w.a.n.g Mang a hint.

Clearly, the West Sea Dragon King wanted w.a.n.g Mang to vote for the Third Prince!

w.a.n.g Mang nodded slightly, but had no intention of complying.

Two hours later, the voting began again.

The result?

It was still a tie.

This gave the West Sea Dragon King a headache.

He did not know if w.a.n.g Mang had misunderstood his meaning, or if he was determined to support the Crown Prince.

However, this could not be allowed to continue.

Thinking this, Dragon King frowned and said, “Since the votes are still tied, why don’t we temporarily leave this matter aside? What does everyone think about this?”

Hearing this, the Third Prince suddenly said, “Royal Father, you can’t do this!

As the saying goes, a ruler must be strong! Since I’m tied with him, how about 1 compete against him in terms of martial arts!”

“Whoever emerges victorious will be the heir.”

The West Sea Dragon King’s eyes lit up as he looked at the confident Third Prince. He then turned to look at the Crown Prince.

However, surprisingly, the Crown Prince nodded coldly without hesitation.

“Royal Father, I have no objections to Third Brother’s suggestion”

Obviously, the Third Prince was very confident in himself; as was the Crown Prince.

Seeing that neither of them had any objections, the West Sea Dragon King waved his hand and said, “Good! Then we’ll have you both compete in a fair fight. The winner will become the heir!”

After that, w.a.n.g Mang and the others followed the West Sea Dragon King and the dragon princes out of the Crystal Palace. Once a stage was set up, the two princes immediately saluted each other and started fighting!

What made w.a.n.g Mang nod his head in satisfaction was that the moment the two exchanged blows, w.a.n.g Mang could tell that the Third Prince was no match for the Crown Prince!

Almost right from the start of the battle, the Third Prince was suppressed by the Crown Prince. It took barely an hour for the Crown Prince to defeat the Third Prince.

Unfortunately, the Third Prince was still furious and refused to admit defeat, and thus suffered severe injuries while trying to act tough.

Left with no choice, the West Sea Dragon King had no choice but to put a stop to the fight.

After that, the West Sea Dragon King quickly went up to help the Third Prince, who was seriously injured, and scolded the Crown Prince coldly, “Ao Ang, you’ve already won! As the eldest brother, how can you be so ruthless? Were you trying to kill your Third Brother?”
