A month later, the bout between Yan Moshan and Princess Jiaoyang at the Hall of Holy Martial Arts caused a sensation just within a few days. Many were shocked by Yan Moshan's audacity since the royal family kept a strict control over the cultivation techniques. Only those deeply favored and having made significant contributions to the Great Yi Dynasty were taught the martial arts of the royal family.
In doing so, if one looked at it on a smaller scale, it was the folly of a youth unaware of the rules. Yet on a grander scale, it was a direct provocation of the royal family's majesty, an offense punishable by death! It could even implicate his parents.
Many were waiting to mock Xu Family and see Yan Moshan fail; however, this did not prevent Yan Moshan's reputation from spreading throughout Divine Capital City of the Great Yi Dynasty in just a few days. Some even idolized him—not everyone had such gall.
