He nodded slightly and said in a low voice to Prince Colin beside him:

"This is my youngest son, Arthur... Though still a bit immature, his horsemanship and courage make me quite proud. His future achievements will be no less than mine!"

Luo Yan watched Arthur standing in the arena with great interest. The fiercely burning Soul Fire indeed exuded a remarkable strength!

He could also feel that those eyes were fixed intently in his direction.

"There's a saying on the Gana Continent: A tiger father begets no dog son. I believe Mr. Arthur will not disappoint you."

Marshal Laco laughed heartily, waving his hand humbly, yet the smile on his face still revealed the joy in his heart.

Clearly, this was something he loved to hear.

In the center of the arena, young Arthur halted his horse and slowly removed his helmet, revealing a head of short blonde hair.

He looked up and gave a salute in the direction of his father, then solemnly drew his Longsword, raising it high above his head.

"For Saint Sis! For the Emperor!"

His loud voice echoed across the arena, even momentarily drowning out the citizens' cheers.

That was the slogan shouted by the Imperial Knights during their charges.

Though he, imbued with Extraordinary Power, had not yet been to the front lines, he had dreamed of this moment countless times.

And it was not just his dream—

At this moment, the citizens sitting in the circular arena also erupted in thunderous applause and cheers. People shouted Arthur's name, praised Marshal Aber, and the atmosphere once again reached its peak!

Frey looked at Arthur in the field, feeling sour in his heart, thinking that this world was full of unfairness.

As for Laco, sitting in the special seat, he was smiling as he observed Prince Colin sitting beside him.

He believed that the other party must have already perceived the good intentions he had shown.

In this competition destined for an Officer Faction victory, he did not need the Colin family to loudly stand on his side; it only required a slight tilt of the scale in favor of him to suffice.

"Prince Colin, I have an immodest request."

Luo Yan spoke with a smile.

"Please speak."

Laco squinted slightly, casting his gaze toward the arena, and spoke in a bold tone.

"I want to add a little incentive to today's knight tournament—riders ranking in the top ten in this duel will be the first batch knighted by the Holy Temple Knight Order. What do you think?"

Luo Yan looked at him in surprise, then smiled and said.

"What if Arthur takes the top spot; would you be willing to let him go to the New Continent?"

Laco smiled lightly.

"Expanding territories for the Empire has always been the Aber family's wish... Besides, it is also his ideal."

Saying this, Laco suddenly took the sword from his waist and placed it on the table.

Looking at the surprised Prince Colin, he spoke solemnly.

"If he wins, I intend to entrust him and this sword to you. I hope you will accept them."

This was an entrustment from a Demigod Level powerhouse—

Luo Yan was surprised by his decisiveness, but then nodded joyfully, saying solemnly.

"It would be my honor."

The development of events was somewhat unexpected for him; he never thought the Marshal would entrust his youngest son to him.

But the atmosphere was at this point, and he could not say no, right?

Anyway, it was just a knight title.

He could issue a batch of them.

Laco nodded with a smile, then stood up from his seat and announced loudly the agreement reached with Prince Colin.

Upon hearing the added incentive to the knight tournament, the audience in the arena and the eager contestants erupted with excitement.

And not just them—

Even the young men sitting next to Frey wore expressions of barely contained eagerness.

Becoming an Imperial Knight didn't necessarily mean owning land, but it certainly meant escaping the bounds of land.

For ordinary people of the Empire, this was nearly their only chance to change their destiny!

After all, not everyone could receive a good education and obtain letters of recommendation to further study at a "worthy of reading" university.

Only the Baron's son, Frey, who had no interest in the knight title, scoffed dismissively.

While Baron Devor was just a small fry in the Holy City, he didn't need to envy merely a knight title, nor did he think obtaining a knight title could change any fate.

It was the New Continent's Knight Order, not the Royal Knight Order; he really couldn't understand what those poor folks were getting so excited about…

Looking at his father and Prince Colin in the stands, Arthur felt a flush of excitement.

With the blare of the horn, he withdrew his gaze, put his helmet back on, straightened his back, and rode his horse into the competition line, his eyes firm and confident, waiting for the tournament to begin.

The citizens of the Holy City would witness the valor of the Aber family in the sacred arena!

However, at this very moment, he did not know that it was not just the children of Saint Sis and the Emperor watching him, but also the unfathomable Lord Demon King…
